Who is the god in charge of the weather? Both at home and abroad! !

I. China

1. In the ancient concept of "animism", there are meteorological phenomena such as wind, rain, drought, thunder, clouds, rainbow and snow, all of which imply the nature of gods, which is not lacking in the fairy tales of the previous generation, and is also revealed in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins.

"Zhou Li? Guan Chun? There is a cloud in "Da Zong Bo": "Sacrifice the middle school, the commander, the wind teacher and the rain teacher in one breath. "

Shan Hai Jing? There is a cloud in the Great Northern Wilderness Classic: "Some people wear Tsing Yi, which is called Huangdi Nuwa. Chiyou fought against the Yellow Emperor, who ordered Ying Long to attack Jizhou wilderness, Ying Long to plow water, and Chiyou invited Fengbo Rain Master to make a scene in Heaven. Emperor Huangdi said that the rain stopped and he killed Chiyou. "

Shi Feng is also called Fengbo, and Xi is Hiderigami. Every wind, rain and drought have become personified gods. Did everything wrong? "Ten Past Events" says: "Chiyou is in front, Fengbo is sweeping, and the rain teacher is scattered." Huainanzi? Tao Xun said, "Let the rain master preach, and let Fengbo sweep away the dust." When it is the same myth. The old note said: "Rain Lord, Bi Xing also; Fengbo, a white star ",according to this song, is it almost from a poem? Xiaoya? The progressive stone: "The moon rises at the end, making it torrential", Hong Fan: "The star has a good wind, 0 177 @ the star has a good rain", and the old note "The wind is good on the star, and the rain is good on the star" should be regarded as the product of the combination of mythical imagination and folk belief experience. There is a cloud in this classic instruction: "Spend a lot of money to dry the green hills", and there is a high temptation: "Strong winds, Fengbo, can also destroy houses". "Li Sao" said: "Later Fei Lian sent him to his subordinates", Wang Yi noted: "Fei Lian, too", and Hong Xingzu said: "Fei Lian, a god bird, can lead the atmosphere. "Oracle Bone Inscriptions's style words are composed of birds, which seems to have such a mythical background." Tai Gong Jin Kui "is called" the famous menstruation in Fengbo ". The emperor called the Yellow Emperor "the corner of the sea behind the wind" in the century. Then Shen Feng, a male, was also passed down as a female god. Generally speaking, Fengbo and Shi Yu seem to be the gods of worship in the eyes of ancestors in southeastern China, while Hiderigami seems to be the gods of belief in ancestors in the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin.

Rain Lord is also called ■, ■, and hip screen. For example, Tian Wen says: "It's starting to rain ■", while Wang Yi notes: "Teacher Yu is also named ■, ■, and." Shan Hai Jing? Overseas East longitude says: "Yu Shi concubine is in the north. She is black, with a snake in each hand, a green snake in her left ear and a red snake in her right ear. One day, north of 10, everyone was black and fucked a turtle. "Guo Pu's Note:" Rain Master said, the screen is also. "Custom Pass" also said "Xuanming, Rain Master also. "

Rain gods of past dynasties:

The red general and the children. People are also in the Yellow Emperor. Don't eat whole grains, but spit flowers. Work as a carpenter for Yao. Can go up and down with the wind and rain. Always sell it at the city gate before paying. Also called paying father.

Zhou Lichun, an official, holds an official position. Master Fengbo Rain Xing Ye. Shi Feng JiXing also. The rain Lord Bi Xingye. Xuan said that Wenchang is the fourth and fifth star in the company. The case was held by Confucius. Hebo. Huayin people. In August, I crossed the river and drowned in the next day. The Ministry of Heaven is Hebo. There are five lines of books. Herb died on Chen Geng Day. A hopeless ship goes far. Drowned and never came back.

Red pine nuts. Shennong was also a rain teacher. Take Shuiyu to teach Shennong. Will burn themselves to ashes. To Kunlun Mountain, I often enter the stone room of the Queen Mother of the West. Rise and fall with the wind and rain. Yan Di girls must pursue it. When you reach the highest level, be a rain teacher again. What is the essence of today's rain teacher?

Li is a goddess of drought, known as Hiderigami. "Poetry? Daya? Han Yun said: "Hiderigami is abusive and likes to burn", and Mao Legend said: "You are the god of drought. "Also known as the father of ploughing, he becomes a drought ghost. Shan Hai Jing? There is a cloud in the Eleventh Classic, Fengshan "God cultivates his father and often swims in the cold abyss. If there is light in and out, his country will be defeated", and the old note: "Cultivate his father and be a drought ghost." Huainanzi? There is a saying in the Master's Art Training: "When making soup, there was a drought for seven years, and I prayed for mulberry trees, where clouds gathered all over the world and thousands of miles of rain came." Probably in ancient times, the farming people in the Central Plains generally regarded Ingrid as a god abuser.

The ancestors feared the power of thunder and lightning, worshipped Raytheon, etc., and reflected on myths based on primitive thinking. Shan Hai Jing? The Middle East Sutra in the Sea says, "Razer has Raytheon, and the dragon is in his head and belly." Thunder and thunder easily remind people of drums, but it must be behind them. Drum was quite popular in Longshan period. There are wooden drums and pottery drums with crocodile skin as the drum surface at Taosi site in Xiangfen, Shanxi Province. It is said that the beginning of pottery drums can be traced back to the Daweikou cultural period more than 5,000 years ago. Probably the myth of Raytheon drumming came into being in this period.

Thor is also known as Lei Shou. "Wild East longitude" has a cloud: "The Yellow Emperor got it (Wei Xiao), with its skin as the drum and the bone of Lei Shou as the branch, and it was heard that it was five hundred miles to dominate the world." Guo Pu pointed out: "Lei Shou is also Raytheon." Thor was also proposed as the animal god. However, in most myths, Thor always appears as a personified god, sometimes called Schleswig. There is a cloud in Li Sao: "Schleswig told me, I have nothing." Lei Gong said, "Chu Ci? "Journey" says: "Zuo Yu is the main envoy of Jing, while the right thunder is the main defender." "In general? There is a cloud in Xu Lei: "The shape of Toure is as heavy as a drum and resembles the shape of a human being. If it is a genius, it is called Lei Gong, so that the left hand leads the drum and the right hand pushes the vertebra, which is like a blow. It means that thunder rumbles and even drums bang; If its spirit is cracked, the voice of the vertebra is also; Also killing people, resulting in drums and vertebrae, beating. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "lei" is drum-shaped, and the word cloud ... shouts "destruction ... thunder", while Shuowen says "destruction, knocking also", which seems to have similar mythological themes in Shang Dynasty. Oracle Bone Inscriptions also said that "Zhen Zi Lei Qiyu" and "Lei Zhen are not only disasters", knowing that Raytheon in the eyes of businessmen has the divine power to rain and punish disasters all over the world.

As the old saying goes, Lei Gong is famous for its prosperous times. As the legend of Mu said, "The Emperor ascended to Kunlun to see The Yellow Emperor's Palace and buried the Phoenix Dragon." The note said, "Feng Long, Lei Gong also." This cover is named after the thunder rumbling like a drum. However, Honglong is also known as Cloud Master or Cloud God. For example, Li Sao: Feng Longyun, and Wang Yi's note: "Feng Long, the cloud master." "Songs of the South" again? There is a poem "Jun in the Cloud" in Nine Songs. Wang Yi said that Jun in the Cloud is "the cloud god is rich and the screen falls." According to this, there seems to be misinformation. As mentioned above, the screen is the name of the rain Lord, and rain is almost like a screen. Hong platoon leader took the name of the thunder rumble, "Huainanzi? Astronomical training said: "In March in Ji Chun, the red dragon went out to rain", and the old note: "Red dragon, Ye Lei." "Phoenix Dragon Riding on a Cloud" seems to refer to the mythical conception of Raytheon riding on a cloud, while Oracle Bone Inscriptions has the theory of "Cloud and Thunder" and "Cloud Extends from the North". There is a saying in Xu Long that "clouds and rain shock the king", which may contain the imagination generated by the etiquette background of watching clouds serve food. Huainanzi? "Astronomical Training" says: "Yin and Yang are thin, Truls Thorstensen is sensitive, the excitement is whether there is or not, and chaos is fog." "Zhou Li? Guan Chun? There is a saying in Zhang Bao's book: "Distinguish between good and bad luck, flood and drought, and drought. "Probably people have long known that clouds can thunder from observing clouds and identifying natural phenomena.

There are two kinds of ceremonies to sacrifice snow: meteor and wine, which are also common in other meteorology. The two gods, ■ and ■, are climate gods related to snow and rain.

The former is probably a cold god, and from the door god to the ■, almost all have the meaning of cold cracking and closing the door. Huainanzi? Time is training "cloud: Ji Qiuyue," the cold is always there, the people are unbearable, and they all enter the room "; Mid-winter Moon, "When the door is closed, the room will be closed again." "Lu Chunqiu? "Your Letter" said: "If it is cold in winter, it will not be frozen." Huainanzi? The terrain says, "The mountain in the north is called the cold door", and the height says, "The snow is there, so it is called the cold door." Book of rites? There is a saying in the "Moon Order" that "three winters worship". The old saying is "Walking, the door is inland, and the winter is guarded, so it is also worshipped." All this should be regarded as the afterthought of worshipping the cold god in Shang Dynasty.

The words flashing cold gods seem to be warm gods, and the words come from the fire in the door, meaning warm. Tian Wen said, "Why is it warm in winter?" Huainanzi? Human training says, "cold can't be warm." Shuowen said, "Warm, warm." There is a cloud in the "Cake Fu" written by Shu Qi: "In the third spring, Yin and Yang are connected, dispelling cold, and the temperature is not hot." Book of rites? "Le Ji" says: "The weather is falling, Yin and Yang are rubbing against each other, the world is swinging, the drums are thunderous, the excitement is thunderous, the movement is at four o'clock, it is warm in the sun and the moon, and everything is thriving." Zhu's Biography of Poetry Volume Yakumo: "Yang is to heaven and earth as fire is to things." Huangdi Neijing: "It's warmer than spring", and the note says: "Deficiency of yang is called warmth." Huainanzi? The terrain says, "The mountain of the mother moon in the southeast is named Yangmen", and the height says, "Pure Yang is used for things, so it is named Yangmen." Oracle Bone Inscriptions's words of offering sacrifices to the cold gods are all associated with rain and snow, saying that he offered sacrifices to the gods. If there is rain but not as good as snow, he will feel warm in the rain. Almost, the immortal is the climate god at the turn of winter and spring. "Yao Qu" has the saying that "Shuofang calls you a secluded city, but ... Chueh-min", which is also the name of God. "Two ya? Interpretation: "Hey, it's so warm." "Poetry? Gu Feng? Xiaoming: "The sun and the moon are really beautiful", and Mao Chuan: "Oh, it's really warm." "Hong Fan" means "common sign, rain, rain, cold and wind", and the note "Rain is warm." "On the whole?" "Lengnuan Pian" said: "The temperature in the rain" can be used as the annotation of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's sacrifice and Oracle. However, there were warm gods and cold gods in Shang dynasty, which were related to the sacrificial ceremonies such as watching images and serving.

In ancient times, there was a worship of the snow god. Huainanzi? Astronomical training said: "In autumn and March, the air and the ground don't hide, but kill, all kinds of insects lie dormant, live behind closed doors, and frost and snow fall on young women." Old note: "Young girl, God is a young girl, and the Lord is frost and snow." Sometimes it's out of season when snow falls in first frost, which is regarded as ominous, so it's better to sacrifice for disaster. "Zhaonian" has a cloud: "From time to time, there are snow and frost storms, so ■■ means rest, and it is a sacrifice to rest in the snow, frost and rain.

China's legendary snow god. Cheng Astronomy: "The cloud master is the dragon, and the snow god is the god."

The name of Snow God is Teng Liuming. Why is Snow God called Liu Teng? Let's talk about why Snow God was named Six.

Normal snowflakes usually fly down in a hexagon, which is why the snow god is called six. The ancients have observed and understood the hexagon of snowflakes. Biography of Chinese Poetry: "Where there are more than five flowers, there are only six snowflakes" (see "Collection of Literature and Art" Volume II under "Heaven"). Herb flowers are mostly five petals, and snowflakes are six petals. So "six" is a description of the external form of snow. In addition, "six" is the cathode and snow is the most cloudy, so it is appropriate to name snow with "six", whether in form or in people's philosophy. The snowflake "six out" became an idiom, flowing in the song. For example, Chen said in Poem on Snow Scene: "The leaves in Qionglin Garden and osmanthus trees are in the south of China. If the sky is bright, rotine is light and the wind is oblique. Farmers in agriculture and rural areas are beaming, and six dances worship flowers. Outside the Ming gate, you should see the Poseidon car. " Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, "Liu Chu" was a representative word in the description of snow. Even in the Tang Dynasty, "Six Fruits" was still synonymous with snowflakes, and the name of Snow God was six, which had its own reasons.

Why is Snow God surnamed Teng? Tengben was a small vassal state in the East of Zhou Dynasty, and King Teng Wengong was very famous. Teng Wengong in Mencius describes many of his deeds. However, the relationship we see with Xue is not in this version of Mencius, but in a book written by Mencius and his students. It is said that the original works of Mencius can be divided into internal (Chinese) books and foreign books, just like Zhuangzi's internal and external books. Mencius was circulated in the Han Dynasty, but it was rarely seen in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Mencius came out at once. There is such a record in Wen Shuo pian of Mencius Waishu: Teng Wengong died and was buried one day. It was raining heavily, and it was snowing. Bull's-eye asked the princes to relax, but the prince refused. Huizi remonstrated, saying, "In the past, Wang Ji buried the vortex tail mountain, and the Luanhe River gnawed at his tomb. When he saw the peace in front of the coffin, Wang Wen said, "My late monarch wants to see the minister and the people." It was buried three days later. Today, people want to stay small and care about the country, so the snow is easy. What's more, this article is also king. Mencius said, "courtesy is also."

After Teng Wengong's death, there was a heavy snow, which prevented the funeral from being held on time. Keiko said that this was because the late Duke (Teng Wengong) wanted to stay for a short time to appease his country, so the heavy snow delayed the funeral date. This story reveals an important message: Teng Wengong can change the burial date through snowfall, which can dominate the landing and stopping of snow and ice. Why not be a snow god?

Therefore, this story in Mencius is the main basis for Teng Wengong to become a snow god. The Snow God was named Teng, but in order to distinguish it from the famous one in Mencius, it merged with liuchu, so the Snow God was named Teng and Liu, and the Snow God was born. This is our basic understanding of the origin of the name "Snow God Liu Teng".

Land god: social sacrifice is dedicated to the land god, who is responsible for regulating the climate. "Xiaoya? Fukuda: "Let me be bright, sacrifice sheep with me, and take the country as the party. My field is a celebration of farmers. Harp drum defends Tianzu. Pray for rain, introduce me to millet and care for my wife. "Tian Zu is a land god. The ancestors sacrificed to the land god and prayed for the rain to drive Hiderigami away and get a bumper agricultural harvest. " The Moon Order says that the moon in mid-spring is a "civil order". In order to get a bumper harvest this year, we sacrifice to the land god in the second month of every spring. To this end, people are full of piety, offering various sacrifices, singing and dancing, and entertaining God's people.

2. Luxury corpse: a beast with a head and two green snakes in its ears, in charge of the weather, also known as Hiderigami.

Luxury corpse: or "luxury", it is a kind of monster that is half man and half beast. Shan Hai Jing Ye Dongjing said that it is a god with a human head and a beast's body. There are two green snakes on a pair of big ears, and their names are luxury corpses. Shan Hai Jing Overseas East longitude affirmed this description, and mentioned the corpse of luxury or the corpse of rain.

The Classic Wild East Classics of Mountains and Seas Volume 14 is more luxurious than God, with a face, a dog's ear, a beast's body and two green snakes, which are called corpses. The ancestor of the weather.

3. Taoism:

Central Purple Arctic Emperor: Legend has it that he helped the Jade Emperor to take charge of celestial latitude, the sun, the moon, the stars and the four seasons.

4. Dragon King.

Two. Japan:

The Japanese call worshippers gods. The ghost of an admirer. Although Fengshen and Raytheon are called gods, they are more regarded as ghosts for sacrifice. People deify the recent wind and thunder around human beings, which is the most representative natural phenomenon.

Fengshen holds a wind bag, and Raytheon holds several drums on his shoulders, representing Fengshen in Kamakura and Raytheon's woodcarving.

Legend has it that Raytheon feeds on the navel of children, so when children sleep without a coat or play naked, their elders will take "Raytheon is coming to get your navel!" " "In that way to scare them.

"Raytheon" first appeared under Japanese painters in the17th century, and later became an important mythical image in Japanese belief.
