In ancient times, there was a myth about Fox Fairy. Dayu of Xia nationality married a woman of Tushan nationality, which involved a mysterious image, namely, the white fox with nine tails. The Nine-tailed Fox Fairy was quoted from Zhao Ye's Wu Yue Chun Qiu ● Betty Wong's Biography of Wu Yu and Lu Shi Chun Qiu, and Dayu came to Tu Shan-according to the examination in Song County, Henan Province, he met a nine-tailed white fox and heard Tu Shan people sing, saying "Old White Fox, Pang Pang". If you "get married" here, because the myth was recorded very late, it is obvious that you have joined the ideological and cultural concepts of later generations. If he is restored to his original appearance, Dayu will marry a white fox with nine tails in Tu Shan. The hidden cultural significance behind this myth of the marriage between man and beast is that Tushan Stone is a tribe with nine-tailed fox as its totem, and the nine-tailed white fox is regarded as its ancestor by Tushan Stone. Because the nine-tailed fox has such beautiful things, the foxes of later generations always like to proudly say that they are descendants of Tushan and show off their noble bloodline. The concept of symbolizing fate prevailed in the Han Dynasty, so the nine-tailed fox, which was originally a totem god, was also symbolized and became a mysterious symbol of good luck. In the stone carvings and brick paintings of the Han Dynasty, there are often nine-tailed foxes and white rabbits, and the genera of toads and three-legged owls are carved next to the Queen Mother of the West to show good luck. Worship of Fox Fairy by Dongyi people in history. According to an article, Qingqiu, Heichi and Shikoku are all located in Linyi, Rizhao, Dongyi people. Businessmen like the nine-tailed fox and Shu Hai, the ancestor of businessmen, once lived here. The nine-tailed fox first appeared in Shan Hai Jing. "On the Mount Qingqiu, there are wild animals. They are shaped like foxes and Kyubi no Youko, and their voices are like babies. They can eat people, but those who eat them are not in danger." ("Shan Hai Jing Nan Shan Jing") "Qingqiu country is in the north, and its fox has four feet in Kyubi no Youko." Shanhai passes overseas east longitude. The fox, in the traditional culture of China, has always been an image with both good and evil (according to the formal statement, the fox and the raccoon are two kinds of animals, but people take it for granted that only the fox is a fairy, and the raccoon seems to be just a vulgar thing). The nine-tailed fox in Shan Hai Jing is a monster that can "eat people". Later, in the stone carvings and brick paintings of the Han Dynasty, the nine-tailed fox, the white rabbit, the toad and the three-legged dog were often listed next to the Queen Mother of the West to show good luck, and the nine-tailed fox symbolized the numerous interests of future generations (see White Tiger on Dehe Zen). The legend of "cannibalism" gradually faded away, and the theory of "for Switzerland" gradually appeared. But it is also in the Eastern Han Dynasty's Shuo Wen Jie Zi that Xie Hu is a "talented beast, and ghosts ride on it". It can be seen that foxes have aura, which was recognized thousands of years ago. Later, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the fox was visited by people in the temple, which was very popular. Zhang Kun's book "A Book of Ruling and Ruling" in the Tang Dynasty said: "Since the early Tang Dynasty, people have been very concerned about fox spirits ... There was a saying at that time: without fox spirits, there would be no village." By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the image of the fox was more abundant. The most famous image of da ji among the nine-tailed foxes appeared at that time (Romance of the Gods), and the stories of fox spirits and foxes are even more numerous in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and Notes of Yuewei Caotang. "Charming", "evil", "immortal", "mysterious" and "cunning" can be said to be the most obvious feelings of China people when they think of "fox". The Nine-tailed Fox's Classic of Mountains and Seas Nanshan Classic: "On the Qingqiu Mountain, there are beasts, like foxes, like Kyubi no Youko, like babies, which can eat people. People who eat are not embarrassed. " Guo Pu's annotation "Wild East longitude" "A country with green hills and a Kyubi no Youko with foxes" means "peace is a symbol of prosperity", which is also an auspicious thing. Ye's Biography of Wu Yuechun says, "I'm afraid I'll lose my control when I'm thirty. This is a proverb: "If I get married, I will have to pay for it." There is a white fox with nine tails, which is made by Yu. Yu said:' The man in white is my clothes and the card of the king. Tu Shan's song says: Year-old white fox, Kyubi no Youko, hehe. My family Jiayi, guests are king. There is a home and a house, and I make it prosperous. On the occasion of heaven and man, you are there, you do it. Yi Ming! Yu was called because he married Tu Shan. "This is the so-called" for Switzerland "in Guo's note. In the stone carvings and brick paintings of the Han Dynasty, the nine-tailed fox is often juxtaposed with the white rabbit, toad and three dogs beside the Queen Mother of the West to show good luck. The nine-tailed fox symbolizes the numerous interests of future generations (see White Tiger Tong Feng Chan), and it is also the legacy of the marriage between Yu and Tushan myth. The theory of "cannibalism" gradually faded, and the theory of "for Switzerland" ended. Luo Li, a person from the Six Dynasties, said that da ji was a nine-tailed fox. The Romance of the Gods also takes da ji as the essence of the nine-tailed fox, from which it comes. The above are from China. Let's talk about Tamamo no Mae, the white-faced golden-haired Kyubi no Youko fox in Japanese mythology. Legend has it that its demon is a nine-tailed fox, a monster who turned into a peerless beauty to confuse the king. It was born in India. When traveling to China, it became a great pleasure and a lasting event. When the Shang Dynasty perished, she was hunted by Jiang Ziya and forced to travel across the ocean to Japan, calling herself "Tamamo no Mae", which won the favor and trust of Emperor Bird Feather. At that time, Tamamo no Mae was favored by the emperor's bird feather, and the emperor gave him the name Tamamo no Mae. Like the legend of Dou 'e's injustice, Tamamo no Mae lured the emperor to fall ill and fall on the bed regardless of state affairs. Ministers began to doubt her, and asked Abe Taicheng to investigate her secretly, and confirmed that the emperor who had been transformed by Kyubi no Youko's evil fox for thousands of years became angry and ordered the killing of Tamamo no Mae. In the end, she was captured and killed by a mysterious person, but her ambition and obsession were left on Nasuno in the form of a "killing stone" (a stone that spewed venom to attack birds and insects, making animals inaccessible), waiting for a chance of revenge. Legend has it that this Tamamo no Mae is golden, with Kyubi no Youko, resplendent and magnificent. The ancestor of this fish algae is said to have come from China and India, and I don't know when he came to Japan. He combined Da Kini belief with Taoism and shrines, which increased the power of many demons and formed the present fox.
