Era and Myth

Maybe everyone knows that China, China and China refer to our China in general, but why do you say that, it still has its origin.

The character Hua was born in ancient times. Please pay attention to which character "Ten" is below. The character "Ten" is not a symbol of foreign culture, but a manifestation of our ancient ancestors' worship of our ancestors and later in their thoughts.

Our Chinese characters are different from other characters. They evolved from ancient hieroglyphs. Each of her strokes can be found in ancient hieroglyphs. This means that Hua's "Ten" also has its origin. To put it more credible, ancient ancestors believed that human ancestors came down from the sky, and when they came down, they stretched their arms flat and their legs were closed, just like the word "Ten". Therefore, the word "Ten" is a kind of understanding of ancestors and a symbol of worship of gods.

It can be said that the word "Ten" is not the patent of foreign gods. In ancient China, it was already a symbol of our ancestors' worship of gods.

I wrote Hua in the simplified Chinese character. The traditional Chinese character "Hua" is not written like this, but is composed of a character composed of "ten" and "one". In summary, the meaning of Hua is that the god ancestor from heaven comes to the mortal world.

Speaking of this, the origin of Shenzhou comes out, that is, the land where the ancestor of God came to the mortal world and lived in the mortal world.

As for Xia, some research says that this should be related to the worship of the sun by the ancestors. There is a passage in "Records of the Grand Historian": "China is called Chixian Shenzhou." This "Chixian" definitely does not refer to the administrative unit. The ancient explanation for her was "Hao Ri" and "the sun shines on the earth".

In addition, there is another saying that Xia is actually a record of the time when the ancestors of the ancient times arrived on the earth. They believed that the time when the ancestor of the God arrived on the earth was the strongest moment of the sun, and it is likely to refer to a noon in summer.

No one knows whether there is a god or not. Anyway, it has not been truly proven that there are gods and immortals now. However, the ancient ancestors may have seen something or taught them some life skills. They may regard them as their ancestors, because no one can tell us with certainty that there is only life on the entire universe on our earth.

Speaking of this, we also need to mention the word "Zhong" in "China". The "Zhong" in oracle bone script is a pictographic image of the gods coming from heaven. According to the literal explanation, the ancestors may want to tell us that the gods come from heaven, and they are free from heaven and earth, and their rise and fall are the center of the earth. Therefore, "Zhong" is like "Hua", which is also a word formed by the ancestors' worship of the ancestors of God. This can also explain the origin of "China".

As for China, it appeared much later, which started from the Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was made by China and China each took one character, not passed down by ancient ancestors.

From the above words, we can know that the characters created in China, China and China were very early. They basically used symbols of worship of the ancestors of God and then became characters. Their appearance tells us that the history of China is far longer than we know.

After saying this, we can get to the point. We Chinese all call ourselves descendants of Yan and Huang. Everyone knows that their origin is that when Huangdi defeated Yan and became the new ruler, the tribes of the two sides gradually united and became the mother tribes of the Chinese nation - the Huaxia. After thousands of years of storm evolution, the Huaxia people split into many ethnic groups, and our Han people are also one of them.

But when did Huangdi come to be born? This question is not finalized, there are many statements, and there is no credibility.

But everyone ignored one thing: Huangdi was not the first leader of Shenzhou. From history, we can know that before Huangdi, there was still someone who managed Shenzhou, and this person was Yandi.

Emperor Yan was not a person, but a tribe. Regarding their surnames, there were Lishan clans, Lie clans, etc., but the first Yan emperor from their tribe was the Shennong clan. The story of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs has been passed down for thousands of years. Based on this, it is estimated that he was an outstanding advocate of agriculture and herbs, and he helped the lives of his ancestors at that time. Perhaps it was because of his contribution that he became the leader of the tribe.

This has another question: When was Yan Emperor born?

In fact, there is no need to verify when he was born, nor can he verify it. But we can know from the legend that he was a pioneer in promoting agriculture and herbs, that is, the lives of the ancestors had shifted from the wild to agriculture and animal husbandry. From this point of view, the ancestors should have houses and utensils at that time, and the tribes had been formed.

With such inference, it would be more interesting to look at the period of Emperor Yan.

Because there is an unearthed site that meets this condition now, that is, the ‘Pei Ligang Cultural Site’. The information about this site is as follows:

Peiligang Cultural Site, an early Neolithic site. Located 7.5 kilometers west of Xinzheng City, it covers an area of ​​about 2 hectares. According to carbon 14, it is about 700,000 years old. From 1977 to 1979, it was excavated four times, with an area of ​​more than 2,700 square meters. 114 tombs, 1 pottery kiln, more than 10 ash pits and several broken cave house foundations. More than 400 stone tools, pottery, bone tools and other relics were unearthed. Among them, the pottery was mainly clay red pottery, and the colors were mostly red or brown-red. The western half of the site is a clan cemetery

, Tombs are densely distributed, all facing north and south, with rectangular earth pits and vertical tombs, mostly buried with single people with straight limbs; the eastern half is a village site with a cultural layer of 1 to 2 meters thick, and the excavated cellars are mostly irregular circular pits. The site is named "Pei Ligang Culture" by the archaeological community for its unique cultural appearance. Its discovery fills a gap in the early Neolithic period before the Yangshao culture in China, proving that the ancestors had begun to settle more than 8,000 years ago and engaged in clan economic production activities mainly based on primitive agriculture, handicrafts and livestock feeding.

Compared with the legend of Yan Emperor, the situation of this site was later, since this site has been more than 8,000 years, then the first generation of Yan Emperor should be ahead of it, but it will not exceed too much. Perhaps it is a gap of hundreds of years.

Although I have nothing to prove myself, from the mutual confirmation of legends and ruins, we can conclude that more than 60 centuries before the Western Age, there had already appeared dynasties in our country, that is, the "Yanhuang Age" of China.

This is much earlier than the time when other civilizations established dynasties. History is far older than them. Seeing this, we can say that China is the birthplace of the first ray of civilization of mankind, and only we have inherited our civilization. There is even another saying that the sun god of Egypt was the White Emperor Shaohao of the West. Although there is no evidence, there seems to be unearthed cultural relics recently that there were interactions between ancient China and ancient Egypt. Perhaps because it was too long, this memory was eventually annihilated!

Some people may look down on myths and think that they are just boring fantasies of primitive people, but these people do not know that myths are the soul of a nation. If a nation does not even have myths, it means that their ancestors were extremely ignorant and could not even think or remember.

National myth is actually a nation’s thinking and memory of ancient ancestors.

Note: Thank you Feng Huazijun. It’s not your article. I won’t notice these. Maybe there are too many commonplaces that we have forgotten about.
