Nine birds on the bronze tree in Sanxingdui indicate that nine suns are resting on the sacred tree and one sun is in the sky. Can these two bronze trees be hibiscus and ruomu in ancient mythology? There are obvious differences between the branches of two big copper trees in Sanxingdui. The branches of one copper tree are like mulberry trees, and the other is like willow trees. According to myths and legends, the hibiscus flower in the east is mulberry, and Ruomu in the west is also called "thin willow", and its shape should be willow. There are hibiscus trees, the sun and the sun in the silk paintings of the No.1 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha. These two bronze trees in Sanxingdui are similar to the mythical hibiscus flowers and Ruomu in many details. They are the hibiscus symbolizing the East Pole and Ruomu symbolizing the West Pole depicted in Shan Hai Jing.
Rizhao taiyangshan
Sun Mountain, located in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, is named after the ancient sun worship sites such as Sun Tribe Site, Sun Temple and Sun God Stone. Sun Mountain is also called Tiantai Mountain in Shan Hai Jing: "There is a mountain named Tiantai Mountain (high) in the wild, and seawater enters. Outside the southeast sea, between the Ganshui River and the Weihe River, there is a woman named He, the wife of the Emperor, who was born ten days ago and is taking a bath. " "Bamboo Chronicle" also said: "Outside the East China Sea, there are mountains and roofs, ladders and sky, platforms and immortals, and feathered people living there. Tiantai Sect, the mountain carried by the gods, also floats in the sea, without discipline and years. However, Nu Wa cut her feet to fit her shoes and stood at the four poles. When she saw that there was no fairy mountain, she moved to the bank of Langya. "
Below the Sun Mountain is the Sun Valley (Tang Valley in the Classic of Mountains and Seas), where there is an old mother temple dedicated to Nu Wa and He. Above the Sun Valley are the ruins of the Sun God Stone and the Sun Temple, as well as the stone carvings and rock paintings left by the Shang King when he came to the East China Sea to worship the sun. Sun Mountain also has the ruins of Sun Tribe tens of thousands of years ago. There are huge stone chairs, shining sun patterns on the back of stone chairs, stone totem poles, stone house foundations for residence, stone basins, stone mills, stone mortars, stone fire pits for residence, and stone graves for witches and heads of families. Stone balls, axes, sickles, arrows and various pottery for life or sacrifice were unearthed in this site. Rock paintings reflecting the life of ancient ancestors are carved on the rocks around the site. At the foot of Sun Mountain is the ruins of Yaowangcheng, the largest capital city in the East 6000-4000 years ago. The site unearthed exquisite Longshan black pottery, the earliest graphic characters in Shandong Province and the earliest bronze smelting relics.
? Misinterpreted for thousands of years.
? "He was born ten days ago and Chang was born in December."
Literati who didn't understand astronomy and geography in past dynasties interpreted the myth of "being born for ten days" in Shan Hai Jing as giving birth to ten sons of the sun, and "being born in December" as an astronomical calendar in December! It is obviously talking about astronomical calendar, but it is misinterpreted as "having children". This is completely wrong. Why not interpret "born in December" as "born with twelve moon daughters"? (The next interpretation)
The correct explanation should be "He observed the activity law of the sun, and created the ten-day solar calendar, and observed the activity law of the moon for a long time, and created the December method of the lunar calendar".
As descendants of China, we should thank the Yi people in southwest China, who still retain the ancient evidence of the "solar calendar" and still use it today.
Sun, hibiscus, golden bird and ancient astronomical calendar
"There are ten days in the sky, the sun is in Ukraine, the sky is three feet, and the sun is shining." These themes closely related to the myth of the sun all come from the observation of the surface shadow in the astronomical calendar. Shan Hai Jing is actually explaining an ancient painting (or stone carving). Ancient paintings reproduce the scenes of astronomical activities such as our ancestors' observation of the surface shadow, and depict the law of the sun's activities on the tropic of cancer. Because the narrator misunderstood the original intention of the picture, he misunderstood the ten sun gear symbolizing 10 solar calendar in the picture as ten days in the sky, and misunderstood the bird waiting for the wind on the Japanese dining table as a black sky carrying the sun. A black sky with two feet waiting for the wind and a rotating shaft rotating with the wind becomes a "three-legged black sky".
Let's restore how Chinese ancestors used Fusang, Jian Mu, Ruomu and the Sun to observe the laws of solar activity and created a ten-day solar calendar. First, choose two trees in the east-west direction, the one in the east is called Fusang, and the one in the west is called Ruomu. Set building trees in the center of Fusang and Ruomu. When the sun runs until noon, observe the shadow length of the building tree. The longest day is the winter solstice, and the shortest is the summer solstice, which is the second solstice (winter solstice and summer solstice). Xi He stood in the middle of building a tree, observing the east from the end of winter to the sun, recording the position where the sun rises in the lotus (southeast), fixing a bird of the sun in this position (hyacinthus orientalis can also measure the wind direction of the monsoon), and at dusk, watching if the wood falls in the west (southwest) when the sun sets, fixing a bird of the sun in this position.
On the winter solstice, the sun observed by China ancestors in the northern hemisphere rises in the southeast and sets in the northwest; On the summer solstice, the sun rises in the northeast and sets in the southwest. Nu Wa's "day" changes seventy-two times (counting), the day changes twice to one day (the earth rotates once), and thirty-six days to one day. Every other "day" (36 days), He stood in the central wooden building to see the position of Fusang and Ruomu at sunrise and sunset, and each fixed a sun, one year old (10 day, 360 days). Therefore, the picture scene described in Shan Hai Jing is that there are ten suns on the Fusang tree, and there is a sun in the center of each sun, nine of which are resting on the tree and one is in the sky (nine days for the next branch and one day for the last branch). This is the origin of the solar calendar ten-day (ten-day dry day). In fact, there are 365 days in one year, and there are five days missing. Nu Wa fills the sky with five-colored stones (the goddess fills the sky), which is the source of the agricultural civilization of China's ancient mother Nu Wa. Nvwa 、 Fuxi and Shennong are the real Huang San, which lit the beacon of farming civilization for China people and human beings in the dark.
