We often hear the word "Jiangshan country". The country is soil, the country is valley, and Jiangshan country means that the king rules the country in Wanli. The country is a land god, while the country is a valley god. Hou Ji is one of them, and he is also a god of agriculture. Because Hou Ji is the god of agricultural grains, in Shan Hai Jing, people and things around him are related to farming.
1. Nephew and Sun Shujun
There are two theories about ethnic groups in Hou Ji. One is that he is the son of Di Jun in Wild West Sutra, and Hou Ji has a younger brother named Tai, whose son is Shu Jun, and the other is that in Haineijing, uncles and uncles are the grandchildren of Hou Ji. Whether nephew or grandson, uncle is very important.
It was he who accomplished the task of sowing hundreds of grains for his father (Tai) and Hou Ji. Of course, besides sowing seeds, he was also the inventor of Niu Geng, because he was called "Tianzu" by later generations.
In addition, in the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, your uncle also had an intersection with Nuwa, that is, after the earth was influenced by Nuwa ("it didn't rain"), your uncle advised the Yellow Emperor to place Nuwa in the north of Chishui.
2. Hou Ji burial site
Shan Hai Jing describes the burial place of Hou Ji in detail, which is remarkable. It is mentioned in Hainei Xijing that the place where Hou Ji was buried has excellent geomantic omen, and it is surrounded by mountains and waters. The key is that he is in the "border country west". Please remember this first and talk about it later.
This is only a general introduction to the general environment of Hou Ji's burial place, but it is described in great detail in Haineijing: it clearly points out that Hou Ji is buried in a vast field between blackwater, and it is interesting that it seems like a fertile land wonderland here.
Not only do hundreds of valleys flourish, but couples sing and dance, and all animals can live in peace.
The rice, millet and millet mentioned here, if there is one more wheat, will be what people often say as "coarse cereals" The word "paste" was added to these grains (Guo Pu's note: "Everything tastes good, just as smooth as paste"), which fully embodies its magic as a cereal god: it can make other grains delicious.
As the god of agriculture, Hou Ji is also very attractive to the animals and plants on land: vegetation gathers for it, animals live in harmony, and even the legendary phoenix and phoenix birds sing and dance here, which can be said to be a paradise.
There is nothing about Hou Ji's death and resurrection in Shan Hai Jing. After all, even Hou Ji's burial place is written here. In fact, although the story of coming back from the dead was recorded in later Huai Nan Zi, it was by no means groundless, and the secret of its immortality can still be traced back to Shan Hai Jing.
Huai Nan Zi mentioned Hou Ji, Jian Mu and Ban Yu here. We know the situation in Hou Ji. What about building wood and half fish? I don't know if you still remember the edge fruit?
The so-called border country is located in the east of Hou Ji's burial ground and in the west of Sichuan. The most amazing thing is that the people of the country are all mermaid, which is very similar to the recovery after the death of Gun and Zhuan Xu.
Of course, this is explained by the female (fish) characteristics in Hou Ji's divinity. As a valley god, that is, a plant god, Hou Ji actually has the ability to bring back the dead.
This is very similar to Dionysus, a plant god in Greek mythology. He was also the god of grape cultivation and Dionysus in ancient Greece, and his characteristic was that he came back from the dead every year.
Similarly, Hou Ji, the god of food and agriculture, will die, but he will also be resurrected. The root of this resurrection ability is said to be related to "half fish". Looking deeper, in fact, we can get a good interpretation from what Laozi said, "The Valley Immortal is called Xuanzang".
There are many explanations for this sentence. The "Valley God" here has always been annotated as the "Empty Way", which can be associated with the so-called "Xuanzang" behind. Xuanzang actually symbolizes an eternal reproduction.
Therefore, it is also possible to interpret the previous "Valley God" as a Valley God. The reason why you don't die is that you can be resurrected after death.
Besides Xuanzang, there are two evidences to prove that the Valley God can be the Grain God. For example, "ancient" is connected with "ancient", which means training students and training; In addition, the valley is also related to the vibrant East and spring, such as Erya Shi Tian: "The east wind is called the valley wind", which means that it can bear children.
Of course, Xiaomi and society are usually closely linked. The social god, that is, the land god, should be the negative element of the birth and reproduction of all things in the universe, such as the moon, water and fish, which can be the most negative single symbol and also have the magical attribute of immortality. Perhaps this is the ultimate mystery of Hou Ji's resurrection from the dead?
