China's famous fairy tales.
The chief of the ancient Jiuli tribe was the god of war in China mythology. Originally a vassal of Yandi, after Yandi was defeated by Huangdi, Chiyou led 8 1 brothers, dispatched troops to compete with Huangdi for heaven, and launched a fierce battle in Zhuolu. Legend has it that Chiyou has eight legs, three heads and six arms, a bronze head and an iron forehead, and is invulnerable. Good at using knives, axes and knives, very brave. The Yellow Emperor was unable to defeat the enemy, so he asked the gods to help him break it. It was dark and bloody. Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor, beheaded and buried, and his head turned into a blood maple forest. After the Yellow Emperor, Chiyou was honored as the "Lord of Soldiers", that is, the God of War. His brave image is still frightening. The Yellow Emperor painted his image on the military flag to encourage his army to fight bravely. When the ministers saw Chiyou, they surrendered without fighting. Later, in order to praise the Yellow Emperor, people vilified Chiyou and regarded him as a demon and an evil god.
The Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou.
Thousands of years ago, many clans and tribes lived in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins in China. Among them, the Yellow Emperor is the most famous tribal leader in the Yellow River Basin. Another famous tribal leader is called Emperor Yan. The Yellow Emperor and Yan Di are brothers. There is a Jiuli nationality in the Yangtze River valley, and their leader is Chiyou, who is very strong.
Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, all of whom have bronze heads and iron arms. They are good at making weapons such as knives and crossbows. Chiyou often leads his powerful tribe to invade and harass other tribes. Once, Chiyou occupied the position of Emperor Yan, and Emperor Yan rose up to resist, but he was no match for Chiyou and was defeated by Chiyou. Emperor Yan had no choice but to flee to Zhuolu, where the Yellow Emperor was located, for help. The Yellow Emperor wanted to get rid of the scourge of this tribe for a long time, so he joined forces with tribal leaders to launch a decisive battle with Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu. This is the "Zhuolu War" known as Zhuolu Chiyou North Village.
At the beginning of the war, Chiyou won victories again and again with excellent weapons and brave soldiers. Later, the Yellow Emperor invited dragons and other strange beasts to help. Although Chiyou's soldiers were brave, they couldn't resist the Yellow Emperor's army and this group of beasts and fled one after another.
The Yellow Emperor led the troops to win the battle, and suddenly it was dark, with thick fog, strong wind, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain, so the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor could not continue to catch up. It turned out that Chiyou invited "Fengshen" and "Rain God" to help out. Not to be outdone, the Yellow Emperor invited the "drought god" in the sky to help dispel the wind and rain. In a flash, the wind stopped raining, and the sky was clear in Wan Li.
Chiyou also created a fog with witchcraft, which made the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor lose their way. The Yellow Emperor used the phenomenon that the Big Dipper always points to the north in the sky to build a "south guide car" to guide soldiers out of the fog.
After many fierce battles, the Yellow Emperor killed 81 Chiyou brothers, and finally captured Chiyou alive. The Yellow Emperor ordered Chiyou to be shackled and then put to death. Afraid of causing trouble after Chiyou's death, he buried his head and body in two far places. The shackles worn by Chiyou were thrown on the barren hills and turned into maple forests. Every flaming maple leaf is covered with the blood of Chiyou.
After the death of Chiyou, his brave image is still frightening. The Yellow Emperor painted his image on the military flag to encourage his troops to fight bravely and to intimidate the tribes who dared to fight with him. Later, the Yellow Emperor was supported by many tribes and gradually became the leader of each tribe.
Legend of jingwei
Before the Xia dynasty, the country had not yet formed. At that time, the emperor was far less rich and enjoyed many privileges. But a pure public servant, only doing his duty. The children of the emperor have no special titles such as prince and princess, and their status is not noble, just like the children of ordinary people.
Emperor Yan has a daughter named Jing Wei, who is cheerful and lively and likes to fight against injustice. One day, she went out to play with children and saw an older child riding a horse. The children are tired and climb down, but the older children will not give up.
Jingwei walked over and pointed at the head of the older child and said angrily, "You are shameless. What are your skills in bullying children? People will call you a hero if you have the strength to fight tigers and bears. "
The boss saw that Jingwei was a little girl, born thin and didn't take her seriously at all. He jumped down from the child's back, walked up to Jingwei and said, "I am the son of the sea dragon king. Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business! "
Jingwei said, "What's the big deal about the son of the Dragon King? I am also the daughter of Emperor Yan. Don't run around on land in the future, or I'll hang you on a tree to dry. "
The son of the dragon king said, "I'll let you know my skills first, and then mind your own business." Call if you say so. Jingwei followed his father to hunt in the mountains since he was a child. His hands and feet are flexible and his strength is not small. Seeing each other's rudeness, he did not show weakness. He dodged the opponent's fist, flew up and kicked the dragon king's son.
The son of the Dragon King stood up, refused to give up, punched again and again, and was punched in the chest by Jingwei, throwing his head high.
Seeing that the son of the Dragon King could not defeat Jingwei, he had to return to the sea in despair.
A few days later, Jingwei went swimming in the sea, having a good time, and happened to be discovered by the son of the Dragon King. He swam to Jingwei and said, You got a bargain on land one day. Today, you run to my door and make a mistake quickly, or I will make waves and drown you. "
Jingwei stubbornly said: "I am right. I don't know what's wrong. "
Seeing that Jingwei was stubborn, the son of the Dragon King had no intention of giving up. He immediately stirred up the sea and set off strong winds and waves. Jingwei had no time to struggle and was drowned.
After the death of Jingwei, he became a bird with red claws and a white mouth, determined to fill the sea. She threw stones and branches into the sea with her mouth and shouted "Jingwei, Jingwei", as if to motivate herself. Year after year, she never stopped.
Emperor Yan wrote a song saying
Jingwei Ming Xi, the world is moving!
Green mountains and trees, artificial fish and insects!
The charming girl can't talk, and her father is very sad!
Why is the sea uneven and choppy?
May future generations be happy and not go to sea!
May our nation always be proud of the mainland!
How amazing is the spirit of a bird who dares to fight the stormy waves and never stops! People sympathize with it, admire it, give it various names, and some call it "unjust bird"; Some people call it an "oath bird"; Some are called "knowing birds"; Some people have not forgotten that it is the daughter of the sun god and called it "the emperor bird". Later, in order to commemorate it, people also set up a monument on the edge of the East China Sea, called "Jingwei Oath Water".
