Where did Fuxi Qin people go?

Entering the artistic world of Mr. Yun Qi's prose, we find that whether the author cherishes and cares for his relatives in Sacrifice for Father and Thinking of Mother on a Rainy Night, or appreciates the rural customs in Hometown Drama and Roaring Shaanxi Opera, or his tragic style in Notes on Folk Songs, his review and obsession with classic love are all in the same strain.

Original author Mr. Qi Yuan

Every time I walk or ride a bike through the Western Han River, I see the Western Han River, which has become slow and low-key. I looked at the heavy and solemn Dabaozi Mountain and the Qiu Chi Mountain vaguely intertwined between the waters of the Western Han Dynasty. I hummed the song "Ask Jun Longnan": "Xixi Hanshui, please tell me where all the Qin people in Fuxi have gone?" It often reminds me of the ancient sage who painted on the first day of junior high school, and the Qin People's Corps who rode out "as bright as an iron horse". A good leader sent a CCTV clip and an invitation to attend the Seven Clever Festival in his hometown. It was a girl's festival. If we men didn't interfere in ancient times, it would be girls' day in a few days. The scenery on both sides of the river is a girl's world, and the clever fairy protects the girl's secret.

The scene of seeing off Empress Qiao on the grass beach in the Western Han Dynasty has been hovering in my mind. The scene of the separation between man and god brought my thoughts back to ancient times. I think this ancient fairy must be a great mother. For thousands of years, this mother has been talking to her daughters, teaching them to sew and cook fragrant rice, respecting their elders and enduring hardships. Mother and daughter have deep feelings for these thousands of years. This mother must have given birth to several excellent sons. Why can't they see them? The long water of the Western Han Dynasty! Why can't you see their voices?

On this trip, I brought two books in a hurry. I lay in a hotel in an ancient cultural corridor between the East and the West, and lived a quiet night. I'm reading the Book of Changes, which is the first China classic written by the ancient sage Kaiyuan Qizhi. In the interaction of heaven and earth, fire and water, wind and thunder, mountains and rivers, it is auspicious to remind the ancients to predict the ups and downs of weather, the ups and downs of water, the violent and gentle disasters of rivers. Extending from the natural way to all the deep layers of political and social life. On the one hand, there is the classic Meditation, which fascinates and shows off the western world. Because it was written by Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of the Roman Empire, it is popular in Europe and is called the philosophy and wisdom of life with eternal value in human history. A book is easy, with mysterious pictures and texts, radiating words, covering infinity and cracking the great wisdom of heaven and earth. Books are as thick as bricks, words like clear springs, and stones flow to the bottom. "One yin and one yang is the Tao", a China way, which is 4000 years earlier than the Meditations by the Roman emperor Kyle, and has unlimited wisdom. It opened the unique origin of China culture different from any other culture. Fuxi, an epoch-making hero, was born from this land of his hometown and walked out of this river, leading wild human beings to the opening of civilization. All this is related to a mountain called Qiu Chi in Xihe County of the Western Han Dynasty. This is a mountain surrounded by water on three sides, 5 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide. There is a difference of 700 meters between the top of the mountain and the two adjacent valleys, and the slope is very steep. There are several square kilometers of flat land and sloping land on the top of the mountain, like a boat, surrounded by red rocks and stone walls, and there are many natural villages. The Western Han River flows from northwest to south around the foot of the mountain, and Luo Yu flows into the Western Han River from southeast along the foot of the mountain. The two waters meet at the foot of the mountain, forming a natural barrier resort surrounded by water on three sides and holding the mountain on one side. In history, the army and bandits camped many times, so it is also called the big thatched cottage.

The Mountain of Changyang in the Classic of Mountains and Seas sensed that the dragon gave birth to Fuxi. Professor Zhao Kuifu believes that there are three main reasons for identifying Changyang Mountain as Qiu Chi Mountain: First, the description of Changyang Mountain in Shan Hai Jing is consistent with the orientation of Qiu Chi Mountain; Secondly, Yangshan was often in Huayang in ancient China. According to ancient folklore, there was a Gillian female "Nvdeng" who sensed the dragon in Changyang Mountain, Huayang. Fuxi is a dragon god. This ancient legend was born in Qiu Chi. Yangshan, who has Jiao's daughter to lure dragons, is undoubtedly a mountain; Thirdly, Qiu Chi was also called Qiu Yishan and Qiu Weishan in ancient times, but the pronunciations of "Qiu Chi, Qiu Yi, Qiu Wei" and "Changyang" are the same or similar. For these reasons, Changyang Mountain can be basically determined to be Qiu Chi Mountain.

There is a statue of Huang San in the temple on Mount Qiu Chi. (It turns out that Fuxi's statue is a boy with a head and face, two horns on his head, eyes standing upright, hair all over his body, leaves on his neck and waist, sun and moon in his left hand, and gossip in Taiji Jiugong in his right hand. Qiu Chi is also the birthplace of Fuxi and Nuwa's grandmother Qiu Chi Jin Mu, his mother Hua Xu and his father Lei Gong. Later, Fuxi's grandmother, mother and Nuwa were called invincible three mothers. "River Map" said that "the great trace lies in Leize, and Hua Xu followed it and gave birth to Fuxi." "Taiping Magnolia" said, "The trail of a big thunder snake, Hua Xu followed it and gave birth to a secret sacrifice." The secret sacrifice is Fuxi. Scholars believe that Fuxi was born in Qiu Yi (Qiu Chi) and grew up in Ji Cheng (Tianshui). In the biography of local people, Ren Huang Leaving Wild Bay-Mother Looking at Xiongguan, the birth of Huang San, the ancestor of mankind, and his practice in Qiu Chi Mountain are recorded in detail. On the 15th day of the first month of each year, it is held on the Leigong River in Qiu Chi. Here, Fuxi's grandmother Qiu Chi's golden mother, mother Hua Xu and sister Nu Wa are the invincible third mothers, and they are wise goddesses who enlighten heaven and wisdom. They are not gods' idols created out of thin air, but actually heroines who try hard to run the tribe, the great stewards of the matriarchal era, and gave birth to a child Fuxi who is ambitious in all directions. He went to a wider place along the source of the river, a wider place, and had an epiphany on nature. Arriving at Tiantai Mountain, which is not far from the handover of water resources in the Western Han Dynasty, and Guatai Mountain, which is not far from Ji Cheng (Tianshui) in the north of Qin 'an, it is Fuxi's trajectory of looking up at the sky, overlooking geography, observing the sun and the moon, observing the changes of rivers and mountains, and pushing clear rain. He established the earliest meteorological observatory in the world to provide meteorological services for the ancestors in the era of fishing, hunting and gathering. From the knotted rope to the pattern of arranging wormwood, 1, 2, 1 or 2, 1, 2 indicates that the rainstorm is rising or calm. In order to make it easy for ordinary tribes to know, he drew a map to predict rain or shine. With this painting, Fuxi led China into the era of symbolic culture. At that time, people recorded with symbols, which was regarded as the origin of hieroglyphics. Fuxi's painting of gossip is an important symbol of the era of symbolic culture, which has opened a leap from material civilization to spiritual civilization.

Later, Fuxi led the people all the way eastward until Luoyang, Henan Province, and spread the gossip of Chinese culture throughout Guanzhong and the Central Plains. Fuxi, an ancient hero who came out of the Western Han Dynasty, looks very dignified, wearing a shawl and deerskin. His face is blue and his eyes are deep and wise. He is a symbol of Qinglong and a mighty image of a wise saint.

The invention of Eight Diagrams and the arrangement of Yin and Yang became the embryonic form of Chinese characters, Zhou Li and Confucianism, and the beginning of loong culture. The arrangement of yin and yang was regarded as the cornerstone of binary system by many scholars in later generations, and even provided the basis of thinking mode for the invention of computer. Fuxi introduced kindling into the kitchen, which made us China people bid farewell to the days of eating and drinking, and created a precedent for cooking and keeping in good health. It is precisely because of these great contributions that Fuxi is regarded as the ancestor of the Chinese nation's humanity, which opened a precedent for the Chinese nation's Confucianism and Taoism culture. In today's Tianshui, Shaanxi and Luoyang, Henan, there are memorial halls and mausoleums of Taihao Fuxi. Tianshui is known as the hometown of Huang Xi, and the plain and low-key Western Han River is the cradle of early human beings.

With words, there is an exact history. Many events before there were no words became bizarre legends. The legendary Western Heaven in ancient times is actually the Western Han River Basin. This is a place that has always been called "West" in ancient times. The tribal story of "West Dog Mountain in the West" has evolved into legends such as the creation of heaven and earth by the Queen Mother, the Seven Fairys and Yang Erlang. In fact, it is in this ancient place called "West" that there are today's Longnan and Lixian.

Legend has it that Yang Erlang, the son of the Chinese and Western heavenly kings, has an eye on his forehead. This hero with three mighty eyes is actually an ancient custom of the Miao people in the Western Han Dynasty, which is the ancestors of the Miao people who promoted the rise of the Qin people. The three-eyed residents recorded in Shan Hai Jing are actually a custom narrative of Miao people. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, people saw people with "three eyes" on the streets of Chengdu. These people have a standing eye in the middle of their foreheads, which is actually not a real eye, but when they are young, people will hold an eye-opening ceremony, cut the middle of their foreheads and put an ink bead in it. When I grow up, I look like eyes from a distance. This is also an ancient custom of the Miao nationality. Because Miao people are good at raising horses, they worship horse gods very much. In the early days, they took the white horse as their totem. They respect the white horse god and call it the owner of the horse. This is why Lord Ma has three eye. "Don't blame a horse for having three eyes" comes from this. Wangye Temple, a three-eyed horse, is very popular in Longnan. In fact, he is the ancestor god of the Yi people who are good at raising horses.

I stand at the head of a village called Kawaguchi Village in Xihe County. In ancient times, it may refer to the entrance of Sichuan. To the south is Mount Qiu Chi, where Fuxi, the first ancient saint, was born. I'm standing on the top of Fuxi Cliff of Qiu Chi Village Pier Group. There are Baima people in the distance, who are still optimistic about the Miao descendants living in the mountainous areas of northern Sichuan. Wangbei is the tomb of Dabaozi Mountain. It has a peak and thick soil. Under the guidance of Miao people, Qin people began to raise horses well, established their own horse-herding kingdom, formed a powerful iron horse to expand eastward, unified China, and established a unified and efficient centralized country. It opened the rule of the Qin dynasty empire that the Chinese nation experienced for thousands of years. This political form of political unification and Taoist thought penetrate and complement each other, and "politics and Taoism are one", that is, "political pyramid" and "moral pyramid" are highly coincident. This humble and low-key river is actually the source of Chinese culture, and the "Tao" has also opened up the world from here, ranking first in the group. "Politics" also raised horses from here, and China was unified. The combination of politics and politics has formed China's unique character standing in the world for thousands of years.

Re-reading Meditations of the Roman Emperor, the feeling of national self-confidence haunts me all the time. This book of the Roman emperor, published after Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, is too simple. In fact, Fuxi, who walked out of the basin in the Western Han Dynasty, got the golden key of wisdom as early as 3,000 years ago. After the deduction of Duke Zhou and Zhou Wenwang, and the interpretation of Confucius, as early as more than 1000 years ago, he formed a virtue and morality that is suitable for countries, groups and individuals, reasonable and orderly, frugal and fair, and "constantly striving for self-improvement, being virtuous and carrying things" deeply rooted in the Chinese empire, and every word is condensed with profound wisdom. It is an inexhaustible wisdom record and indicator light. Why are we so insecure that we can easily measure our profundity with the simplicity of the West? This involves the precocity of a mainland farming civilization, and China has already changed from a feudal fief to a centralized country. Although this change is not a clear-cut one, it also maintains a long overlap. Whether it is orthodox ethics or secular habits, it is to maintain the mutual compromise of all walks of life under its inevitable social form. Therefore, it is its social structure that determines its social ethics creed. In the long history of centralization with China, the Confucian ethics of seeking the other side has not given all classes the function of compromise in China, where politics and law are clearly defined. On the contrary, practical secular ethics can become an unbreakable concept in such a social form.

Therefore, our past glory has become a burden for our development for a time. We are backward economically and militarily, and we are beaten everywhere. The economic and military bones can't support our thick China cultural muscles. The precocity and overconfidence of our civilization have become the burden of our development. After the day of being beaten, we woke up and pursued science and technology to the world, so that worshipping foreign things and obsessing over foreign things became our mental state for a long time. As soon as we came into contact with exotic customs, we forgot the painstaking efforts of our ancestors and this low-key and heavy river.

In fact, China's political culture has sprouted in the low-key flowing water of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is politically unified, culturally Yi Dao, and politically and politically integrated China River has been flowing like this after nine twists and turns. The Western Han Dynasty, a mysterious place on both sides of the river, sprouted the political system of a world power and its spirit of integration, which is really admirable. In fact, Fuxi Qin people are in our daily life. What reason do we have to be unsure of our deep-rooted politics and culture?
