Genesis VI: Fu Xishi

Fu Xishi

Fu Xishi takes Feng as his surname, also known as Dong Xi's family, _ Xi's family, Bao Xi's family, Fu Xi's family, etc., or Tai Hao, Xihuang,No. Xionghuang or Huangxiong's family. These may not be the names of the same god in the same civilization period, and it is impossible to verify them at present, but as far as his actions and achievements are concerned, they are exactly the same. Let's honor him with Fu Xishi and tell us what we can find about his great achievements.

It is said that at the end of Suiren's reign, there was a place called Huaxu Kingdom, and in Hua Xu, there was a osawa named Leize. One day, a giant's footprint appeared in Razer, and a state-owned woman in Hua Xu, or Hua Xushi, stepped on the giant's footprint out of curiosity, which made her pregnant and gave birth to Fu Xishi. When Fu Xishi was born, gifted man, with the virtue of a saint, replaced Suiren as the king of the world at that time.

Liezi _ Huangdi recorded that Huangdi slept during the day and sleepwalked to Huaxu. The kingdom of Hua Xu is in a very remote and mysterious place, which is beyond the reach of human beings and can only be fugue. The country has no managers, everything is integrated with nature, the people have no selfish desires, love and hate, and there is no pain. They are neither fond of life nor afraid of death. They can fly in the sky and have magical power, and nothing in nature can hurt them. It is a wonderful land of bliss. After the Yellow Emperor woke up, he realized the way of keeping fit and governing the country. Twenty-eight years later, the country was governed almost as well as Hua Xushi.

According to records, Hua Xu, Fuxi's hometown, is a demigod country. Sages are born to the world, taught to human culture, and lead mankind out of barbarism, return to pure and kind nature, communicate with God, and become a demigod country.

It is recorded in "The Mountain of Dunjia" that Kanyi Mountain is the place where Fu Xishi was born and ruled the world.

Kanyi Mountain is an ancient place name, and it is impossible to verify where it is. At the junction of Xihe and Lixian in Gansu Province today, there is a Qiuchi Mountain with Fuxi Cliff, which is nearly two kilometers high. It is also said that Fuxi was born.

Fuxi created the Eight Diagrams

Fu Xishi is known as the ancestor of the Chinese nation's humanities. He taught the ancient people the profound and abstruse demigod culture, initiated the Eight Diagrams and initiated the Chinese Yi Studies.

During Fu Xishi's reign, the human mind and social environment became more complicated, and the knotting of notes could not adapt to human life. Fu Xishi materialized more abstract numbers, evolved them into eight diagrams, and multiplied the eight diagrams, with six hexagrams per diagram, and established sixty-four images, which were recorded with the battle songs of ghosts and gods and communicated with the gods. Therefore, gossip is considered to be the origin of Chinese characters, and it is a tool for human beings to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth. It has greater connotation and wisdom than words, and today's human beings can't understand it.

the book of changes _ copula records that: the ancient people cherished the king of the family, but when they looked up, they observed the image in the sky, while when they looked down, they observed the law in the earth, and observed the culture of birds and animals and the appropriateness of the earth, taking all the bodies near and all the things far away, so they started gossip to enlighten the gods and love all things.

Today, in the west of Tianshui City, Gansu Province, there is a Guatai Mountain, which is said to be the place where Fuxi painted eight diagrams. It is said that Fu Xishi often stands on the Guatai Mountain, looking up at the sun, the moon and the stars, overlooking the geographical terrain, studying the footprints and body patterns of birds and animals, gaining insight into the laws of all things in nature, and taking images of all things in heaven and earth as gossip.

One day, while he was meditating on the Guatai Mountain, suddenly a dragon horse jumped out of the cave opposite the Guatai Mountain, with strange patterns on it. This dragon horse leapt to a boulder in the Weishui River at the foot of the mountain. This boulder was shaped like Tai Chi. With the pattern on the dragon horse, Fuxi suddenly realized and drew a gossip.

The cave that jumped out of the Dragon Horse is called the Dragon Horse Cave, and the big stone in the Weishui River is called the distraction stone. These places are still there today.

The portrait of Fuxi's story, painted by Chou Ying in Ming Dynasty, is colored in silk, and is kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan Province.

Other Civilizations Created by Fu Xishi

Fu Xishi has left behind many other great achievements in civilization besides establishing the Eight Diagrams and the Book of Changes.

According to the Book of Changes, Fuxi invented the net to teach people to farm and fish. The net is used to catch fish and animals. It is said that Fu Xishi invented the net inspired by the spider's web. After the invention of the net, human beings obtained rich meat food from nature. Fu Xishi taught people to feed and raise animals, and became the ancestor of Chinese animal husbandry. Fu Xishi has solved the food problem of human beings and enriched the kitchen, so it is also known as the "Sacrificial Family".

According to the Book of Rites _ Quli, Fuxi made the wedding etiquette and took two pieces of deerskin as the betrothal gift.

It is said that before Fuxi, human beings were in a state of group marriage, and only knew their mother but not their father after birth. Fu Xishi formulated a series of marriage systems, such as bride price and matchmaker, stipulating that men should hire women to marry, taking men as surnames, and established a surname system, which made the relationship between men and women no longer casual, thus standardizing the ethics of human relations, distinguishing them from animals, and enabling real human civilization to be created from now on.

"Yi Shi" says: The first sage looked up at astronomy, looked down at geography, and drew pictures to make humanity. The people began to be enlightened, knowing that there is a father and son, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the way of the couple, and the order of the young and the old, so a hundred officials are established, and the king is born.

Fuxi also established a central official system. Sima Zhen's Biography of san huang records: Fuxi is auspicious for dragons, so he was named as the Dragon Master.

Fuxi takes dragons as official titles, such as: Julong is the official position in charge of construction, Tulong is the official position in charge of managing fields and boundaries, Shuilong is the official position in charge of irrigation and dredging, and so on. Our Chinese nation regards the dragon as a totem, and the Chinese call it a descendant of the dragon, which probably started here.

Fuxi also created the Jia calendar, which is recorded in the General Calendar: There was a Jia calendar in Tai Hao. According to records, JiaLi is an ancient calendar which takes Jiayin as the first year and records the year, month, day and time with branches, which may be the ancestor of our Chinese calendar.

Calendar is made on the basis of long-term astronomical observation, and the maker must have a complete set of astronomical knowledge. In 1987, a Xingyi tomb was unearthed in Xishuipo, Puyang, Henan Province. In the tomb, a starry sky map was laid out with shells. The four elephants and twenty-eight lodges were all complete, and the arrangement was very reasonable. It was astronomical and geographical, and it was amazing to know that it would be excavated when buried. But what is even more surprising is that, according to the expert's calculation and research, the star map placed in Xingyi Tomb is exactly the star map of 25, years ago, which shows that human beings had a fairly complete knowledge of astronomy more than 2, years ago.

In addition, Fuxi also invented a stringed instrument and a harp, and composed songs such as "Li Ji" and "Driving Argument", which used music to educate the people, purify the human mind, standardize human behavior and enhance human morality.

The Book of World Records says: Dong Xi's instrument is composed of fifty strings. Se, Jie Ye. Make people clean in their hearts and be pure in their actions.

It is also recorded in Shiben that Fu Xishi invented a stringed instrument with 5 strings. Later, when he arrived at the Yellow Emperor, Motome played the lute. The Yellow Emperor felt that the voice was too sad to help himself, so he split the lute into twenty-five strings.

Wu Yi's "Qin Dang Xu" records that Fuxi's Qin, with one string, is seven feet and two inches long. Today, the Jing people in China are still playing an ancient stringed piano, which is said to have been handed down from ancient times. Its timbre is quaint and beautiful, but I don't know if it originated from this stringed piano invented by Fuxi.

It is said that Fu Xishi reigned for 115 years and was buried in Chen after his death. In today's north of Huaiyang County, Henan Province, there is an ancient tomb of Fuxi, and emperors in past dynasties have many sacrifices.
