KUSANAGI Jian (KUSANAGI のу, Ame no Murakumo no Turugi)

くさなぎ? の? つるぎ KUSANAGI -no-turugi), one of the three artifacts obtained from the tail of the serpent, is often misunderstood as "blade of grass" or "blade of grass" due to the simplification of the Chinese character system, which is actually wrong.

Edit the introduction of this paragraph.

Owner: Jianming, Japan, emperors of past dynasties: Brandon-Modern area: Japanese allusions: ancient history, Japanese calligraphy and other weapons. The sword emerged from the terrible serpent "Eight-Zan Snake", and even the Excalibur was no match for it. Later, it became the sword of Jianming (Yamato Pavilion) in Japan. The Japanese name of Kusanagi Sword is: KUSANAGI (ァメノムクモノツルギ), also known as "Kusanagi Sword", which originated from the creation myth. The Zhongtian Cong Yunjian, which is now enshrined in Nagoya mythology, was obtained by Su Zhanwu Zun (the younger brother of the Sun God-the Emperor of Heaven) who killed Yagong snake. As for the fate of this sword, one said it was 1 185, when two Japanese samurai Tuan Ping and Genji fought a decisive battle in the waters of Tampu, Genji won, and the emperor founded by Ping was buried at the bottom of the sea with this sword, and the other said that Yamato was buried at the bottom of the sea with this sword. It is not known whether the sword enshrined in the shrine in Hotan today is the legendary sword. Hotan Shrine, Hotan District, Hotan City. It is one of the three great Japanese artifacts, and the other two are eight mirrors (ヤタノカガミ): one mirror, which is now enshrined in the Ise Shrine in Ise City, Mie Prefecture. Eight-foot vault jade (ヤサカニノマガタママ): also known as "eight-foot vault jade") is a kind of jade pendant with the shape of sharp pepper. Now it is dedicated to the royal residence in Tokyo.

Edit this myth

According to Records of the Historian, Su Zhanwu Zun (also known as Su Sannu) met his foot name and hand name in Izumo country (Japan Record). They had eight children, but seven of them were dedicated to the serpent, and the serpent told Su Zhanwu Zun that they were going to sell their last daughter. Ke Mingtian (Japan Record) dressed up as a strange rice field girl. Eight male snakes were tempted by the smell of wine and put eight heads in different barrels to drink. Su Zhanwu took the opportunity to cut off the head of the snake with ten fists one by one, and then cut off its tail. When he cut off the fourth tail, he found a sword on the snake. He named it "Tiancong Yun Jian" and presented it to the gods. Later, when the first 12 emperor of Japan was in power, Tiancong Yun Jian was ordered by the Japanese. When the Japanese arrived in Suruga, he was tricked into hunting deer on the grassland. The local warlord burned the grassland with rockets and killed horses to prevent him from escaping. During this period, he found that Tiancong Yun Jian could control the wind direction and finally survived, so he named Tiancong Yun Jian "Kusanagi Sword".

Edit this paragraph history

Although this sword is mentioned in Ancient Historical Records, it is a collection of Japanese myths and is not regarded as a historical document. The more credible book of Japan is the first ancient book to mention this sword. The History of Japan records contemporary or nearly contemporary events, and the contents of these chapters are regarded as based on historical facts. In Japanese records, Tiancong Yun Jian is considered to have made Emperor Tianwu sick, so in 688 AD, Tiancong Yun Jian was taken away from the emperor's palace and placed in the shrine of Reheda. Tiancong Yun Jian is one of the three artifacts, and the other two artifacts are eight mirrors and eight-legged Joan Gouyu, which represent the power possessed by the emperor.

Edit this passage from the treasure of the Three Kingdoms of Japan.

Japan's Three Kingdoms Treasure

The sword (Tian's sword), the eight-legged mirror and the eight-legged Joan Gouyu (gluttonous picture). The origins of these things are all legends about Su Sannuo and Yagong snake in ancient records. According to tradition, these three artifacts were given by the gods to their chosen ruler, the first emperor. However, according to archaeological findings, KUSANAGI's sword (iron sword), eight mirrors (bronze mirrors) and eight-foot vault jade (jade) respectively represent the age of iron, bronze and stone tools.

Edit the origin of the Eight Forks serpent and the "Sword of KUSANAGI" in this paragraph.

According to the story recorded in ancient books: Su Jian Su Sannuo (honorific "life" exemption, hereinafter referred to as Su Sannuo [SUSANOO]) arrived in the mortal world.

I learned that there is a kind of hydra in the land of birds' hair in the upper reaches of Izumo He Fei River-the Wild Mountain. In the past seven years, a girl has been sacrificed to a local village every year. This year (the eighth year) was chosen as a sacrifice by the strange rice paddy family (it is said that it is Dashan Jin Jian; It is also said that there are eight girls in the Qidian family and seven of them have been eaten. So SUSANOO decided to hurt people. He first prepared eight altars of wine on the altar in the village. The serpent came, attracted by the smell of wine, and put eight heads in the jar to drink. When all eight big snakes are drunk. The person who needs to be introduced cut off its eight heads with the "ten swords" to destroy it. Later, according to ancient stories, lightning (original: rice wife) caused a big fire and lit the grass. Susano was trapped in the burning grass. At this time, he cut open the serpent's body with the "Ten Swords", took out the sword of KUSANAGI from the serpent's belly (tail), and cut the grass around with this sword to avoid being burned to death. This is the origin of the word KUSANAGI.

Edit this passage "Sword of KUSANAGI" in another way.

Since Sun came, there have been three kinds of cultural relics in the palace. But at this time, the swords and mirrors were simulated and built according to God's will when offering sacrifices to the emperor, and the real objects have been moved elsewhere. Ise shrine is a shrine built to collect these cultural relics. It may be a bit off topic, but the sword that sank to the bottom of the sea with Emperor Ender in the altar pool is of course a simulation ... but it can be regarded as a form. )

After winning the Excalibur, Japanese Jianming regained his courage, married Gong Zuji, the daughter of the founder, in Zhangwei, and went to the East again. Encountered a major crisis of life and death in the simile country. "In the middle of this wilderness, there is a swamp. In the swamp, a terrible and violent god lives." I easily believed the Japanese leader's words and entered Yuanye. And the leaders set fire to surround him at this time. In a dilemma, the Japanese architect suddenly remembered his aunt's words, so he opened the bag and found a flint inside. The prince pulled out the Excalibur, cut down all the grass around him, set fire to fight back, and finally got out of danger and destroyed all the evil thieves. There is also a saying that the sword automatically comes out of its sheath and sweeps all the grass around it (called "Shahiro" in Japan). However, Tiancong Yun Jian's nickname "Sword of KUSANAGI" originated from this incident. Another way of saying it is that the name Tiancong was added by later generations to make this sword more authoritative, and its original name was "Cao Snake". Miraculously, the Japanese architect who regained his life continued his crusade. Even though he suffered the grief of losing his mother halfway, he still destroyed all the violent gods and all the evil thieves. The prince who returned to Zhang Wei triumphantly finally swept away the haze and married Miyuki. Then he set out to crusade against the evil god of Ibki Mountain. At this time, the prince left his precious Excalibur beside his beloved beautiful night. Perhaps for this reason, he mistook the white pig incarnated as a god (recorded as a serpent in the book of Japanese records) as just an angel of God, scolded him and let him escape. Then, he was caught in a wonderful snowstorm, suddenly fell ill and had to return to Yamato. On the way home, the hero of this generation, Wo Jiansheng, finally fell to the ground exhausted.

Edit this Japanese civilization building (one of the owners of Excalibur)

After a long time, Cong Yun Jian came alive again the next day. This is the story when the "tragic hero" appeared in Japanese mythology. The description of the image of Ming Jian in Japan is quite different in the annals of ancient events and the annals of Japanese books. In The History of Ancient Events, Wu Jianming has a wild heart, is a hero in troubled times, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. In contrast, in Japanese records, Japanese Mingjian is a loyal model student, who only obeys the orders of the emperor and will not do anything against morality. This difference is due to the fact that The History of Japan is an official history book selected by the state and compiled to improve the authority of the Yamato court. Because it is a public document, the content that is unfavorable to one's position and the content that will make people question have to be discarded. Therefore, there are still many people who are skeptical about the validity of Japanese records as historical materials. ) If you want to know the legends closer to the original version, it will be more effective to find ancient history. Therefore, this paper mainly introduces the legendary story of Ming Jian in Japan according to the records of ancient history. Yu Jianming was the son of Emperor Jingxing at that time. When he was young, he was called Xiao Luo Ming, one of the "Three Princes". In ancient Japan, the crown prince was not limited to one person. Sometimes, he designates a candidate to run for re-election, and then he chooses the one who wants to step down. ) Xiao Hao lives with a brother named Da Hao Life. Once my father (Emperor Jingxing) ordered my brother to call a pair of sisters who are famous for their beauty into the palace. However, as soon as he saw the sisters, Dayu fell in love with their beauty and took it for himself. Finally, she didn't even attend the breakfast and dinner every day. Emperor Jingxing was very worried about this. He said to his brother Bian Xiao, "You must attend the scheduled dinner. You carefully convey it to Dayu, asking him not to disturb him and to show up. " However, after a few days, Dayu's life did not appear. The emperor was surprised and asked Xiao Xie. He replied, "Daxie? I have already broken his hands and feet, rolled them into the straw mat and threw them away. " Jing Xingdi was surprised and afraid of his son's rude behavior, and felt that he could no longer keep Xiaopi around, so he ordered "punishing two thieves in western countries named Wei Sotakru" and sent Xiaopi to war. The Japanese Ming Jian began a brave and tenacious exile journey. Finally arrived in Xiao Lang, a western country, dressed as a woman, sneaked into the heavily guarded residence of Xiong Aimingjian, and successfully eliminated the thieves. The henchmen who marveled at his brave bear attack on Jane's life gave him a title before being hacked to death by him. This is the origin of Jane's life in Japan. Since then, in order to praise Xiao Ju, people have gradually called him Japanese blade master. Life in Japan is linked with conquering all the gods who are not worshipped, outwitting the brave Izumo King, and finally pacifying the West and returning home in triumph. But what is waiting for the Japanese to build a life is neither a reward nor a condolence, but an order to move eastward. For the central government, Japanese life has become as frightening as the God of Fury. As if he were exiled, he marched to the east, passing through Ise shrine on the way, and confided to his aunt Yamamoto. "The emperor must think that I am better off dead." Ubik gave the sword and a bag to her depressed nephew. "This sword, is the treasure in the shrine-grass takes non-success sword (day cong Yunjian). I believe it will bring you great help when you crusade against the famine god. In addition, this bag should be opened when you are extremely dangerous and can't do anything. " After winning the Excalibur, Japanese Jianming regained his courage, married Gong Zuji, the daughter of the founder, in Zhangwei, and went to the East again. Encountered a major crisis of life and death in the simile country. "In the middle of this wilderness, there is a swamp. In the swamp, a terrible and violent god lives." I easily believed the Japanese leader's words and entered Yuanye. And the leaders set fire to surround him at this time. In a dilemma, the Japanese architect suddenly remembered his aunt's words, so he opened the bag and found a flint inside. The prince pulled out the Excalibur, cut down all the grass around him, set fire to fight back, and finally got out of danger and destroyed all the evil thieves. There is also a saying that the sword automatically comes out of its sheath and sweeps all the grass around it (called "Shahiro" in Japan). However, Tiancong Yun Jian also has a nickname "Shaving Grass Sword", which is caused by this incident. Another way of saying it is that the name Tiancong was added by later generations to make this sword more authoritative, and its original name was "Cao Snake". Miraculously, the Japanese architect who regained his life continued his crusade. Even though he suffered the grief of losing his mother halfway, he still destroyed all the violent gods and all the evil thieves. The prince who returned to Zhang Wei triumphantly finally swept away the haze and married Miyuki. Then he set out to crusade against the evil god of Ibki Mountain. At this time, the prince left his precious Excalibur beside his beloved beautiful night. Perhaps for this reason, he mistook the white pig incarnated as a god (recorded as a serpent in the book of Japanese records) as just an angel of God, scolded him and let him escape. Then, he was caught in a wonderful snowstorm, suddenly fell ill and had to return to Yamato. On the way home, this generation of heroes finally fell to the ground.

Edit the paragraph of Reheda Shrine (the place where Excalibur is worshipped)

After the death of the prince, Miyuki has always been the patron saint of the sword, but after all, he is old, so he called his family to set up a shrine in Hotan, and put Tiancong Yun Jian here-this is the origin of Hotan Jingu. However, the imperial court did not seem to treat it as a problem in particular, so Excalibur has been kept as the main god in the shrine of Reheda ever since. Leitian shrine

But after 23 years of innovation (668), a great event happened. Excalibur was stolen by a monk from Silla Daoxing. Daoxing sneaked into the shrine and took the sword. He immediately hid it in the cassock and fled to Yi Shi. But after the sword disappeared overnight, I don't know when it automatically returned to the shrine. Daoxing stole it again and fled from Shejin to Silla. But this time I was blocked by the storm and had to return to Hong Kong. At this time, people who learned through the Oracle that God's body had been stolen began to look for it in all directions. Judging that you will be caught like this, I want to throw away my sword, but I don't know why my sword just can't leave my body. Daoxing realized that he had no way out, so he gave up and turned himself in. Shocked by the crisis that almost caused the artifact to flow out of foreign countries, the imperial court took Tiancong Yun Jian back to the palace from Hotan Jingu. However, in the third year of Zhuniao (688), Emperor Tian fell ill, and because it was said that this was caused by Excalibur, he returned the Excalibur to the shrine of Reheda. Since then, except for a very special period just after the Second World War, Excalibur has been enshrined in the shrine in Hotan.

Edit the shape of the legendary Excalibur in this paragraph.

As one of the three precious cultural relics in Japan, it can be said that even the emperor can't watch it at will. So we can't grasp the correct information of its shape. Fortunately, in the book "Jade Signs Collection" in the Edo period, it was recorded that four or five divine officials had spied on Excalibur. "As long as you are close, the clouds will automatically surge, making people unable to see anything. Everyone used fans to disperse the clouds and secretly lit them. There is a wooden box five feet high. There is a stone box in the wooden box, and the gaps in it are buried with red soil. There is a hollowed-out camphor tree trunk in the stone box, and the gap between camphor tree and stone box is also filled with red soil. The inside of the round trunk is covered with gold, and the gods are enshrined on it. " God is two feet seven or eight inches long (about 80 centimeters). The leaves look like those of Acorus calamus, and the central part of the leaves is thicker. The grip is about eight inches thick, and many links are not smooth, just like the back bone of a fish, which is white from top to bottom. "From then on, looking at Excalibur's divine officers were cursed by Excalibur and suffered misfortune one after another. It is said that only one person stayed to record this story (it is said that the author of Jade Brand Collection of Shinto books is Yumu Ying Zheng). If we believe this story of personal experience, then Gu Jian unearthed in Tiancong site in Yun Jian and other places should have a similar shape. It has also been pointed out that it is similar to the sword unearthed in Chinese mainland. In addition, since ancient times, Tiancong Yun Jian is generally regarded as an iron sword, but judging from the fact that its surface is not rusty and its color is white, there is also a saying that the Excalibur should actually be made of tin-bearing copper.

Edit this paragraph and its appearance.

Naruto

It appears in the comic book Naruto, and it has something to do with the big snake, and it happens to be orochimaru's weapon, and orochimaru can summon the big snake through a message, so its appearance has something to do with the big snake. Naruto

In the story of orochimaru using Shayin Village to destroy Konoha, orochimaru fought with his master Mu Huoying for three generations, and the situation was fierce. Later, orochimaru killed three body double with the sword of KUSANAGI. However, after World War I, orochimaru lost his hands (forbidden by the "ghost-banned" Ninjutsu). By the way, Sasuke also called the sword in his hand the sword of KUSANAGI. In fact, Sasuke's sword is just an ordinary sword. It uses a thunder shield to imitate KUSANAGI's sword. Orochimaru really has it. Orochimaru took out KUSANAGI's sword after leaving Sasuke's body, which can prove it. Later, orochimaru was sealed in a ten-fist sword by ferrets, and three artifacts were linked together.

a piece

It once appeared in the comic book One Piece. When General Kprusoian was fighting Raleigh, he took the sword that he had conjured from Yun Jian with bare fruit, that is, the Kusanagi sword.

Mortal Kombat

He also appeared in king of fighters, an ancestral sword of the Kyo Kusanagi family. When Kyo Kusanagi 18 years old, Saisyu Kusanagi gave this sword to Kyo Kusanagi in order to defeat the Ba Shen family. Source of three cultural relics: In the 3rd century A.D., during the Three Kingdoms period, the evil Matai queen Ji Meizi made four missions to Weifang County (present-day Korean Peninsula) of Wei State, Shu Weilang, requesting titles from Cao Cao, the then monarch of Wei State (who ascended the throne in 236 A.D.). Wei Mingdi (Cao Cao) granted Ji Miko, the evil queen of Matai, pro-Wang Wei, that is, pro-Wang Wei became the Olympic country of more than 30 countries on the island at that time by virtue of Wei's military strength. At that time, Wei Mingdi (Cao Cao) sent envoys from heaven twice to Xiematai, the capital. For the first time, I gave a bronze mirror and a piece of jade worn in the Spring and Autumn Period to Wang Wei, who was a relative of Ji Miko. Among them, the bronze mirror is now mistakenly called eight mirrors in Japan. The jade worn in the Spring and Autumn Period was also mistakenly called Eight-foot Joan Gouyu. Wang Ximeizi's brother Yi and his army commander are both good commanders. This time, Special Envoy Wei also brought a bronze sword. At that time, Wei had made good use of China's iron. Moreover, it can cast a qualified finished iron sword, but at that time it was given to a man who was awarded an excellent corps commander and a bronze sword that had been eliminated in Wei, which shows how wise Cao Cao is! Well ... that's too much. What I want to say is that this bronze sword is engraved with the words Lai Guo Jun. Of course, Lai Guo Jun is not the name of this bronze sword, but the foundry of this bronze sword. The ancient ordnance division must engrave his name on the weapon to facilitate accountability. This bronze sword as a gift is called Tiancong Yun Jian, not Cao Nayun (also called KUSANAGI).

Eight only means big or beautiful. Eight-child mirror originated from China's water mirror, also known as "sword". Is to put water in the metal basin opposite. Later, it gradually developed into a bronze mirror with auspicious patterns such as pine, bamboo, plum, turtle and crane painted on the back. In the Yayoi era, mirrors were introduced into Japan from China. At that time, the Japanese regarded the mirror as a sacred object and hung it on their chests as an instrument to ward off evil spirits. After that, the types of mirrors increased, and eight of them were used as sacred sacrifices for the gods in the Ise Shrine, the ancestor of the Japanese shrine. Mirrors occupy a considerable position in Japanese folklore. The Japanese believe that the mirror itself shows that it has mystery and magic, so there are many beliefs and legends about the mirror. It is said that it can attract good luck, reflect people's hearts, expose the essence of the devil, and foresee good or bad luck in life and death. As a result, there are still people in Japan who think that the broken mirror is an ominous sign, so you can't cross the mirror, and you should cover the mirror on occasions other than auspicious occasions.

There are "three artifacts" in Japanese legends, namely, the grass shovel sword, the eight-foot jade hook and the eight-foot mirror.

The Origin of "Eight Zhi Mirror"

Eight mirrors, also known as the mirror of the True Sutra, are the second of three artifacts, and are now enshrined in Ise Shrine. When it comes to this matter, I have to talk about the embarrassing thing that the pie fell from the sky. Zhao Tian lost (well, it was embarrassing enough compared with her brother having a baby), and the residents hiding in Tian Zhiyan were ashamed to come out. She is Gao Tianyuan's boss. Without her, Gao Tianyuan and Weiyuan China became dark, so someone gave an idea to build eight mirrors with Tian Jianshi on Tian 'an River and iron on Tianjin Mountain and hang them on JH trees. Eight million gods are singing and dancing together outside, which makes Gao Tianyuan restless. The picture of Tianshi was very strange, so he asked, "I live in seclusion here, and it's dark in Gao Tianyuan and dark in Weiyuan China. Why is Tianyu still singing and dancing, and eight million gods are laughing? " Tianyu was ordered to answer: "There is a nobler god than you, so we are singing and dancing happily." While speaking, Tian Erfu and Tian Buyu ordered to hold up the Eight Diagrams mirror hanging on the branches and let the Great God look in the mirror. "Who is this man?" said the heavenly light to the Great Imperial God. Is he nobler than me? " (Well, the guy who hasn't looked in the mirror, speaking of which, the Japanese bronze mirror was handed down from the Han Dynasty in China) Zhao Tian was too busy looking in the mirror to go out. At this time, Shen Nan, the keeper of the day hiding by the door, grabbed her hand and pulled her out. Tian Buyu Daoming quickly hung the note rope behind him and said, "Don't go back inside!" " "The Great God Emperor came out, and Gao Tianyuan and Weiyuan China immediately lit up. Later, Zhao Tian gave this mirror as an artifact to Tiansun, and said, "I will always take this mirror as my incarnation for solemn sacrifice. "
