Ask the twelve gods in China's mythology.

Pan Gu

Legend has it that before the creation of heaven and earth, the universe was as chaotic as a big egg. A giant named Pangu woke up and found darkness around him. Pangu stretched out his body, and the sky became higher and higher, and the ground collapsed. And heaven and earth are more connected, with a chisel in his left hand and an axe in his right, or chopping or chiseling with an axe. It is divine power, and heaven and earth are divided for a long time. Two qi rise and fall, the clear is the sky, the turbid is the ground, and chaos.

According to proportion

According to the corpse of Bibi, one of the ancient creatives in China, he was a man with a broken neck and hair, and he didn't have a hand. "-the body from Shan Hai Jing is hung on the head. The so-called dead bodies without hands are mostly scenes after being killed, so it is speculated that they should be gods.

Yin Candle, also known as Candle dragon, is the dragon-faced god in the ancient legend of China. It is said that his body is red and thousands of miles long. Yin Candle lives in Zhongshan State in the north of the Central Plains, overlooking the world from the mountain. Its two eyes are arranged up and down, one for the sun and the other for the moon. The divine light from Yin Candle shines on the whole earth, but if you open your eyes at the same time, the earth will be scorched by the heat. Yin Candle doesn't eat or drink and rarely breathes. The ancients thought that Yin Candle's blowing would lead to strong winds, so he thought it was blowing hard in winter and exhaled a little in summer. This god obviously comes from the ancient natural worship of meteorology. The original text of Shan Hai Jing: "Beyond the northwest sea, north of Chishui, there is Zhang Weishan, where there is a god. The snake's face is red, its eyes are straight (eyes are vertical, eyelids are two straight seams), its eyes are dull, its eyes are bright, it doesn't eat or sleep ... It is a nine-color candle called Candle dragon." Another cloud said, "The God of Zhongshan is called Yin Candle, and he regards it as day, blows it as night, blows it as winter and calls it summer. He doesn't eat, he doesn't stop, he breathes like the wind and stretches for thousands of miles. ..... a snake in the face lives in the middle of the mountain. " According to textual research, Yin Candle is an important prototype of Pangu, the creator god in China mythology. It is also said that Yin Candle is the origin of the later Vulcan Zhu Rong.

Nüwa

Nu Wa created man and human society by imitating herself with loess. There is also a legend in "Goddess of mending the sky", that is, a catastrophic disaster happened in nature, the sky collapsed, and raptors and beasts came out to harm the people. Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to fill the sky and slay the beasts. It is also said that Nu Wa made a musical instrument called Sheng Chun, so people regard Nu Wa as the goddess of music. Custom Yi Tong records that she established a marriage system for human beings, enabling young men and women to intermarry and reproduce, so she is called the goddess of marriage.

Yan Di

Emperor Yan surnamed Jiang. According to legend, he is a bull's head, probably a clan leader with a totem of cattle. This clan was active in the Weihe River basin at first, in other words, in the Surabaya River basin (the lower reaches of the Yellow River). Later, it entered the middle reaches of the Yellow River and clashed with the Jiuli nationality for a long time. The leader of the Jiuli nationality is Chiyou, a beast with a bronze head and an iron neck. It has horns on its head and the hairs on its ears are as hard as halberds, and it can eat sand and stones. It may be a clan with some kind of beast as its totem. He has eighty-one brothers, that is, eighty-one clans, and he is a powerful clan tribe that is brave and good at fighting. Chiyou expelled Yandi to Zhuolu (now the Sanggan River basin in northwest Hebei, or Taishan area in Shandong). Emperor Yan asked the Yellow Emperor for help, and the two sides fought in Zhuolu. Chiyou invited the Rain God from Fengbo to make trouble, which created a fog and made the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor lose their way. The Yellow Emperor invited Nu Wa, the god of drought, to clear up and built a "south guide car" to tell the direction. The result of this fierce battle was that Chiyou failed and was killed. The Yellow Emperor won the victory and was elected as the "son of heaven".

. Zhu Rong, Vulcan.

In ancient times, the world was desolate, with only a large number of forests, and people devoured hunting animals with hair and blood. At this time, there is a palace of light on Kunlun Mountain, where a Vulcan named Zhu Rong lives. Zhu Rong is very kind and compassionate. When he saw people eating animals raw, he handed down kindling and taught people how to use fire. People take fire from the bright palace and roast wild animals on the fire before eating. This is not only delicious, but also can prevent them from getting sick. So people worship Vulcan Zhu Rong very much.

Water god *

The water god * * * is a descendant of Emperor Yan, and has many contradictions with the Huangdi family. After Emperor Zhuan Xu took over the control of the universe, he was not only indifferent to human beings, but also used his power to suppress the gods of other factions, so that there were complaints between heaven and earth. * * * When the time was right, the workers gathered the disgruntled gods, determined to overthrow the rule of Emperor Zhuan Xu and seize the throne. The rebellious God chose workers as his allies, formed an army and raided the kingdom of Kyoto. Emperor Zhuan Xu was not very depressed when he heard this change. He lit 72 beacon towers and called on the governors of the four sides to support them quickly. On the one hand, he ordered the military forces guarding the capitals of both sides to take command in person and go to war. A fierce battle began. Two horses hit the earth from the sky, and then hit the sky from the earth. After several rounds, Emperor Zhuan Xu's army killed more and more. Tiger Tail Tai rode all the way from Heshan, and the leader's personal plan was driven away from Guangshan by a flurry, and two arrogant insects with beehive heads were driven away from Pingfeng Mountain. * * * The number of workers dying is getting smaller and smaller. The neck of the cabinet was cut to a layer of skin, with long hair and no broken arm. The night prince's hands and feet, head, chest and even teeth were cut off and scattered all over the floor. * * * The workers turned around and killed at the foot of the mountain in the northwest, leaving only 13 riders around. He lifted up his eyes and saw that the mountain was abrupt and indomitable, blocking the way. He knew that the mountain was actually a huge pillar supporting the sky, which was one of the main reasons why Emperor Zhuan Xu maintained the rule of the universe. Behind him, shouting ShaSheng, surrender, encirclement has been cloth. * * * The workers let out a cry of anger in despair. He tossed his head like a lion and ran towards the island. He only heard a loud noise, and the island standing on the ground was broken by him and collapsed. After Tianzhu was broken, great changes have taken place in the whole universe: the sky in the northwest lost its support and tilted downward, which made the sun, moon and stars tied to the zenith in the north untenable in their original positions, and involuntarily broke free from the shackles and slipped toward the low-inclined western sky, which made the running route of the sun, moon and stars we saw today and relieved the suffering of people at that time. On the other hand, the giant rope hanging in the southeast corner of the earth was broken by violent vibration, and the southeast land collapsed, resulting in the scene that we see today that the terrain is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, rivers flow eastward and hundreds of rivers return to the sea. * * * Gong's behavior finally got people's respect. After Gong's death, people regarded him as a navy master (the god of water conservancy). His son, Hou Di, is also considered a social god (that is, a land god). Later, people swore that "the sky is above and the earth is below", referring to him, which shows people's respect for them.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the East Hall was set up to welcome the Spring Festival, which shows that there is a long history of offering sacrifices to Ju Mang.

10. Fuxi

Fuxi's mother named Hua Xushi is a very beautiful woman. One day, she went to Leize for an outing and found a big footprint on the road. Out of curiosity, she put her foot on the big footprint, and now she feels entangled in a snake, so she is pregnant. Surprisingly, this pregnancy has been 12 years. Then I gave birth to a baby with a head and a snake body. This is Fuxi. To commemorate the birth of Fuxi, the local people changed the place name to Ji Cheng, because in ancient times, people regarded twelve years as a century. According to historians, ancient Ji Cheng is today's Tianshui. Hanshu said: "Ji Cheng belongs to Hanyang County, and Hanyang County also belongs to Tianshui County. The place where the ancient emperor Fu was born. Therefore, Tianshui has always been called "the hometown of Huang Xi".

" Its shape is Kyubi no Youko Tiger, with sharp head and sharp eyes. Its duty is to manage the nine-day season and the Tiandi Garden. According to Guo Pu's annotation, it can be clearly known that Luwu has a high godhead, and besides being in charge of the boundary of the nine areas of heaven, he can also manage the four seasons of the Garden of God (this is what is generally called climate magic, right? ), so it is by no means a gardener, but similar to the existence of central air conditioning to adjust the temperature at any time. Lu Wu, also known as the enlightened beast, was originally the guard of Kunlun Mountain, the capital of the Yellow Emperor. He disguised himself as a tiger, so that he could gain the majesty and strength of the tiger. I just don't know why I appeared in the Dragon Palace in Shushan, as if I forgot my original duties.
