Besides Xuanyuan, please list four legendary figures.
Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records records: "The Yellow Emperor is the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, and the Yellow Emperor lives in the hill of Xuanyuan". China Ancient Capital Society (the confirmation organization of the seven ancient capitals in China) believes that Xuanyuan Mountain is located in Xuanyuan Mountain, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. It was the capital of Xiongguo in ancient times, and its father Shaodian was the monarch of Xiongguo. The Yellow Emperor was born on the second day of the second lunar month in China's northwest Juyuan Guanlongjiang Gorge. According to legend, the mother of the Yellow Emperor was a girl on the Loess Plateau. One evening (or night), she suddenly saw the Northern Lights, and then she got pregnant and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor. According to China's historical records, he unified the tribes in China after Emperor Yan. Its capital is Zhuolu. He calculated the calendar; Teach people to sow food; Invent the compass and make the bow and arrow of the ship; Xing characters; Make branches, make musical instruments and make medicine. Today, there is a mausoleum of Huangdi in Qiaoshan, Shaanxi. According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor was old, he cast a tripod and Lapras ascended to heaven. The courtier put an arrow to stop it, and the dragon was shot and injured. When he flew over the bridge country, he dropped a boot and buried it here. The Yellow Emperor and Yandi are considered as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so China people sometimes call themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". Legend has it that the first princess of the Yellow Emperor was Lei Zu, and the second princess belonged to Lei Fang, Tong Yu and Mo Mu. According to Historical Records, "Twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, fourteen people have their surnames." The monarchs of Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Later generations gradually deified the Yellow Emperor. In Zhuangzi, it is mentioned that the Yellow Emperor attained enlightenment and became immortal. The Yellow Emperor in Biography of Immortals can also exorcise immortals. Leizu
Lei Zu is a figure in China's myths and legends. According to historical records, the Yellow Emperor married Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling family who invented sericulture, as "Lei Zu's first sericulture". Lei Zu is the yuan princess of Xuanyuan, the legendary leader of northern tribes. She gave birth to Xu Anqi's second son, Changyi. Changyi married the daughter of Shushan, gave birth to Levin, and inherited the world. This is the "Zhuan Xu Emperor" among the Five Emperors. According to the Book of Rites of Sui Shu, Lei Zu was honored as the "First Silkworm" in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. "Tongjian Zhuan" records: "Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling family, is the emperor's princess. She began to teach people to raise silkworms, treat diseases and raise silkworms to make clothes. " According to the current research, Lei Zu was born in Yanting County, Sichuan Province, and was buried in Qinglong Mountain, Jinji Town, Yanting County after his death. Yan Di
Yan Di, the name of the tribal leader of Shennong (said to be a descendant of Shennong), is called Yan Di because it is the king of fire. It is a legendary era in China (or ancient times), and it is the * * * master of the Chiang clan tribe in Hubei, Shaanxi today. It is said that he was born in Lieshan, so he is also called Shanshi Lie after Yan Di. biography
Jiang is a branch of Xirong, originally a nomadic people, and entered the Central Plains from the west very early. At that time, at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, there lived the Jiuli nationality headed by Chiyou (an independent Miao nationality). Because of the long-term conflict between the two sides, Emperor Yan retreated to Hebei. According to legend, because "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes", he fought three fierce battles with Huang Di, the surname of Xuanyuan, which was considered as the first large-scale war of the Chinese nation. It was called the Battle of Half Spring in history (half spring refers to the village of half spring in Yanqing, Beijing). Facing the commander-in-chief, bear, tiger, raccoon, Tiger is a powerful rival of totem tribe, but Emperor Yan was defeated, allied with it and surrendered to it, and Huangdi ended the war with victory. With the expansion of the Yanhuang alliance, more and more tribes submitted to it, but Chiyou refused to accept it all the time, and a big war was inevitable. Chiyou led Jiu Li to fight against the alliance in Zhuolu (now Zhuolu Village, Hebei Province), which was the second war in the legendary era and was called the Battle of Zhuolu. Finally, Chiyou was defeated. Since then, the surname Jiang and the Yellow Emperor have settled in the Central Plains. The word "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" refers to people's tracing and respect for the ancestors of Chinese civilization, Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor. Emperor Yan is one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation and the legendary leader of the ancient Jiang (also known as He) tribe. According to legend, his mother's name is Ren You. One day when she visited Huashan, she saw a dragon, and her body immediately reacted. When I came back, I gave birth to Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was born in a stone room in a mountain and grew up in Jiang Shui. He was virtuous and respected by fire, so he was named Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan is few and wise. He can talk for three days, walk for five days and understand crops for three years. He has done many good things for the people in his life: teaching people to farm and making them well fed; In order to protect people from getting sick, he tasted all kinds of medicinal materials, so that he was poisoned 70 times a day. He also made musical instruments to make people understand etiquette, which was praised by later generations. His initial activity area was in the south of Shaanxi today, and later he developed eastward along the Yellow River, which clashed with the Yellow Emperor. In the Battle of Half Spring, Yan Di was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, and the Yan Di tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe merged to form the Chinese nation, so today's China people call themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". In historical legends, Emperor Yan is a great figure who developed primitive agriculture in China and was the founder of farming culture. Legend has it that he created a wooden plow, taught people to farm and increased the output of crops. Legend has it that he tasted all kinds of herbs and treated human diseases. He was the first discoverer and user of Chinese herbal medicine. Not only that, it is said that he used fire to benefit mankind, made musical instruments, and advocated material exchange ... In short, Yan Di Yan Di is a god inseparable from inventions in agriculture, industry, commerce, medicine, literature and other fields in historical legends, and was greatly admired and sacrificed by the descendants of the Chinese people in past dynasties. Legends are mostly legends passed down from mouth to mouth, because there was no complete text in the Yanhuang era. There are also many legends about Emperor Yan. But some ancient books mentioned some things about Emperor Yan in a mythical way. I ching? The copula "Shennong's work, wood is a coffin, wood is a coffin, and the benefit of a coffin is to teach the world." "The Legend of the White Tiger" "People in ancient times all ate animals. As for Shennong, there are many people and not enough animals. It is because of the time that Shennong divided the land, controlled the land and taught the people to farm. Zhou Shu was quoted in Taiping Yu Lan as saying that "God cultivates and makes pottery". Historical records? Supplement Huang San's biography that "Shennong began to taste a hundred herbs and had medicine". Ishimoto, Shennong, and Medicine help others. "Huainanzi" tastes a hundred herbs, and the water springs are bitter ... seventy poisons a day. " The following legends are all the deeds of Emperor Yan (or his ancestors): Teaching the people to farm is a method invented by Emperor Yan. He ordered the people to collect grain seeds and sow them on the reclaimed land, and then the people planted grain in this way, hence the name Shennong. Reddy Yan Di's invention initiated the wooden Reddy, which is regarded as the beginning of agricultural invention. Emperor Zheyan had a magic whip called Zhebian, which was used to whip all kinds of flowers and plants, so that the characteristics of medicine, poison, cold and heat of flowers and plants could be revealed. According to legend, in order to distinguish between various herbs, Emperor Yan tried it himself, and finally tried a highly toxic herb, which was insoluble in water and finally gave his life. Inventing Pottery Emperor Yan also invented pottery, which appeared at the same time as farming and was hailed as another great pioneering work after the use of fire. According to the records of the ancestors of the ancient Emperor Yan, Shennong lived 500 years before the Yellow Emperor. Modern scholars generally believe that Shennong is a clan. Before the merger with the Yellow Emperor, an agricultural nation had lived and developed in the Yellow River basin for 500 years. They have entered the end of primitive society and have a high level of education. The so-called Sui people, Fu people, Youchao people and Shennong people actually refer to four different evolutionary stages in the process of human development. Shennong's surname is Jiang, which may indicate that it used to take sheep as its main meat (according to legend, it was born in), and it also shows that it still relies on the tradition of matriarchal society, and sheep and women are combined into one (in addition, Ji, Yi, Yao and Ying all have this feature). After the defeat of Emperor Yan, the tribes dispersed, some were driven out of Middle-earth, and some were ruled by the Yellow Emperor. The cultural level of the driven Shennong tribe was originally higher than that of the Huangdi tribe, but after a long time, the culture did not progress, was suppressed and degraded, and instead became a foreigner. Miao people live in Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou. Because their ancestors used to farm, they are called Miao people. So some people think that they are descendants of the Shennong tribe. In the mountainous area of western Hubei, there is another place called Shennongjia, which may also be related to this. It is said that Shennong is called Emperor Yan because of burning forest to open up wasteland. In ancient times, it was called "Burning on a Fiery Mountain", and Shennong was also called "Shanshi Lie" and "Gongshi", and was regarded as the god of millet and DUZH by later generations. According to legend, Yan Di was born in Lieshan, and the "Former Residence of Yan Di Shennong" was built in Lieshan Shennong Cave, Lishan Town, 40 kilometers north of Suizhou, Hubei Province, in order to comply with the wishes of Chinese people at home and abroad. "Yan Di Shennong Former Residence" has two Shennong caves (one for grain and medicine storage and the other for residence), and there are more than a dozen places in Shannan, such as Shennong Pavilion, Shennong Pagoda, Shennong Temple, Shennong Tea Room, Shennong Flower, Jiulong Pavilion, Shanbei Shennong Mother's Andeng Bath and Baicaoyuan. Shennong Cave and Shennong Monument are located on the fierce mountain 55 kilometers away from Suizhou City. There are primitive stone tables, stone benches, stone bowls and stone couches in the cave, which are said to be used by Shennong. There are also ancient buildings such as Shennongjia, Shennongjia, Shennongjia Temple and Yan Di Temple. In the north of Lishan Town, there is a monument of "Yan Di Shennong", which has been preserved to this day. Chiyou
Chiyou, the legendary leader of Jiuli nationality in China's ancient East (south on the other side). Eighty-one brothers (the other said seventy-two) are brave and powerful. Later, in the tribal war, he was defeated by the tribal alliance led by the Yellow Emperor in the battle of Zhuolu and was killed. Because Chiyou is a five-soldier, Chiyou is traditionally regarded as the god of weapons (the Lord of soldiers) and worshipped. Chiyou is the legendary leader of the Jiuli nationality in the East (belonging to Dongyi Group). Chiyou has eighty-one brothers (that is, eighty-one clans). He can do anything. He can call the shots and make weapons out of metal. In the battle between Zhuolu Land and Huangdi, Chiyou's practice made clouds everywhere, and the soldiers of Huangdi couldn't tell the direction. Later, the Yellow Emperor made a compass to point out the direction, which led to the defeat and capture of Chiyou. The battle of Zhuolu ended in the victory of the Yellow Emperor. After the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di, many governors wanted to support him. However, the descendants of Emperor Yan were unwilling to submit to the Yellow Emperor and repeatedly provoked wars, especially Chiyou. Chiyou is the grandson of Emperor Yan. It is said that Chiyou is cruel and belligerent by nature. He has eighty-one brothers, all talking beasts, each with a bronze head and iron forehead, who eat with stones and iron blocks. Chiyou originally belonged to the Yellow Emperor, but after the defeat of Emperor Yan, Chiyou discovered a copper mine at the foot of Lushan Mountain. They made these bronze weapons into swords, spears, halberds, shields and other weapons, which greatly enhanced their military strength and made them ambitious to avenge Emperor Yan. Chiyou joined forces with people from Fengbo, Shi Yu and Kuafu tribes to challenge the Yellow Emperor angrily. Huangdi loves the people by nature and doesn't want to fight. He has been trying to persuade Chiyou to stop fighting. But Chiyou didn't listen to advice and crossed the line many times. The Yellow Emperor sighed helplessly: "If I lose the world, Chiyou will rule the world, and I will suffer. If I tolerate Chiyou, it's a tiger. Now he can't do justice and blindly infringe. I only have to punish evil and promote good! " So the Yellow Emperor personally led troops to attack Chiyou. The Yellow Emperor first sent General Ying Long to fight. Ying Long can fly and spray water from his mouth. As soon as he went into battle, he flew into the sky and sprayed water on the Chiyou array from the commanding heights. In an instant, a rising tide lifts all boats, and the waves come straight to Chiyou. Busy Life of Chiyou, Rain Master of Fengbo. Fengbo and Rain God, one blows the wind all over the sky, and the other collects the water sprayed by Ying Long. In turn, it showed great power, and it began to rain, blowing the storm into the array of the Yellow Emperor. Ying Long can only spray water, but not collect water. As a result, the Yellow Emperor was defeated. Soon, the Yellow Emperor reorganized the army, revived its military strength, and once again confronted Chiyou. The Yellow Emperor took the lead and led the troops into the array of Chiyou. This time, Chiyou cast a spell and sprayed smoke, completely covering the Yellow Emperor and his army. Huangdi's army couldn't tell the direction, couldn't see the enemy clearly, was trapped in the smoke and couldn't kill the encirclement. At this critical juncture, the Yellow Emperor had a brainwave and suddenly looked up and saw the Big Dipper in the sky. When the handle rotates, the barrel head remains motionless. According to this principle, he invented the south guide car and determined a direction. The Yellow Emperor led the army out of the tight encirclement. In this way, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought seventy-one battles in succession. As a result, Huangdi won less and lost more. Huangdi was very anxious. On this day, the Yellow Emperor thought hard about how to defeat Chiyou and fell asleep unconsciously. He dreamed that Xuan Nv gave him a nine-day military book and said, "Take it back and learn the symbols of the military book by heart, and you can defeat the enemy in the battle!" , say and float away. When the Yellow Emperor woke up, he found that he really had a copy of yangfu Well. When I opened it, I saw a few hieroglyphs painted on it, "Tianyi is in front, Taiyi is behind." The Yellow Emperor suddenly realized, so he set up nine arrays and eight gates according to the law of female soldiers, and arranged three strange and six instruments in the array to control Yin and Yang and two escapes. The exercise changed into 1,800 arrays, named "Tianyi Dunjia" array. The Yellow Emperor was familiar with the drill and led the troops to attack Chiyou. In order to strengthen the military, the Yellow Emperor decided to use a small drum to boost morale. He found a Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea. There is a slow beast named Kui, whose roar is like thunder. The Yellow Emperor sent someone to catch Wei Xiao and peel him off to make a drum face, which was very loud. The Yellow Emperor sent someone to catch Lei Shou in Razer, and pulled out the biggest bone from him as a drumstick. Legend has it that this real cow drum can vibrate 500 Li with one knock and 3800 Li with a few knocks. The Yellow Emperor also made eighty drums out of cowhide, which greatly enhanced his military strength. In order to defeat Chiyou completely, Huangdi specially called his daughter Nuwa to help him fight. Nu Wa is a god of drought, who specializes in collecting clouds and resting rain. I usually live in the distant Kunlun Mountain. The Yellow Emperor lined up his troops to fight against Chiyou again. When the two armies confronted each other, the Yellow Emperor ordered drums. Eighty cowhide drums, real cowhide drums rang, and the sound shook the earth. The soldiers of the Yellow Emperor summoned up the courage to listen to the drums; Chiyou's soldiers lost their souls when they heard the drums. On the verge of losing, Chiyou and his eighty-one brothers killed him fiercely with their great strength. The two armies killed together, and the earth shook until the sun set, which was inextricably linked. Seeing that Chiyou was very powerful, the Yellow Emperor asked Ying Long to spray water. Ying Long opened his mouth wide and the river gushed from top to bottom. Chiyou was unprepared and went belly-up. It also caused the rain division in Fengbo to set off a storm and hit the Yellow Emperor's array, only to find that the ground was flooded and the situation was urgent. At this time, Nu Wa went into battle. She performed magic and suddenly a rolling heat wave radiated from her. Wherever she went, the wind stopped raining, and the hot sun took the lead. Fengbo and Rain Master were at a loss and failed in haste. The Yellow Emperor led an army to catch up with him and killed him for a while, but Chiyou was defeated and fled. Chiyou's head is as hard as copper. He lives on an iron stone, and he can fly in the air. If he walks flat on the cliff, the Yellow Emperor can't catch him. When catching up with the central part of Jizhou, the inspiration of the Yellow Emperor suddenly appeared and ordered people to play the real cowhide drum nine times. So, Chiyou suddenly lost his soul and couldn't walk, and was caught by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor ordered people to put a cangue on Chiyou and kill him. Afraid of what he would do after his death, he buried the body and the head in two places. After the death of Chiyou, his cangue net was taken down and thrown on the barren hill, and it became a maple forest. Every maple leaf on Chiyou's cangue net was stained with blood. After the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, all the governors honored him as the son of heaven. This is Xuanyuan (the name of the Yellow Emperor). Xuanyuan Huangdi led the people, reclaimed farmland and settled in the Central Plains, laying the foundation of the Chinese nation. Xingtian Xingtian is a headless giant mentioned in Shan Hai Jing. He was originally a subordinate of Emperor Yan. After Emperor Yan was defeated by the Yellow Emperor in the Battle of Banquan, Xingtian followed Emperor Yan to settle in the south. At that time, Chiyou took revenge, but was razed to the ground by the Yellow Emperor, so he was beheaded. In a rage, Xingtian killed him outside the Nantianmen in Zhongtian with an axe in his hand, and named him to single out the Yellow Emperor. Finally, Xingtian was defeated and beheaded by the Yellow Emperor. Xingtian, who has no head, did not die, but stood up again, taking the two nipples on his chest as eyes and the navel as his mouth; Hold a shield in your left hand and an axe in your right. Because he has no head, he can only fight the invisible enemy forever, forever. Cang Jie
Cang Xie is a legend in ancient China, and is said to be the historian of the Yellow Emperor and the inventor of Chinese characters. Legend has it that Cang Xie was born with "two eyes and four eyes". There are only three people recorded in China's history books, namely Yu Shun, Cang Xie and Xiang Yu. Yu Shun is a modest and filial saint, Cang Xie is Wen Sheng, and Xiang Yu is a warrior. Changji's creation
The legend of "Cangjie creating characters" has been widely circulated in the Warring States Period. The Book of Huainanzi records: "Cang Xie wrote a book once upon a time, and it rained heavily at night, making ghosts cry and wolves howl". It is recorded in the preface to Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Cang Xie's early book, Gai Yi is like pictographic characters, so it is called the text; After that, the form and sound benefit each other, that is, words. " Zhang Yanyuan's History of Famous Paintings and the Origin of Narrative Paintings explains: "You have four eyes and look up at the sky. Because of the traces of turtles, the shape of calligraphy is determined. Nature can't hide secrets, so it rains a lot; Ghosts can't hide from shapes, so ghosts cry at night. At that time, calligraphy and painting were inseparable, just like the creative system, but they were still slightly different. No book conveys its meaning, no painting sees its shape, and the meaning of heaven and earth saints. " In fact, it is an indisputable fact that Chinese characters were not created by one person, so it is generally believed that Cang Xie may be the organizer of Chinese characters. * * * Gong (adapted from * * * Gong)
* * * Gong, a figure in ancient legends in China. It is said that Gong surnamed Jiang is a descendant of Emperor Yan. * * * Gong is another person who has made important contributions to the development of agricultural production after Shennong. He invented the method of building dikes to store water. About his legends, almost all of them are related to water. The most famous story is: * * * * The anger of workers cannot reach the surrounding mountains. * * * Workers control water
* * * Gong family is a water conservancy family. * * * Gong's method of water control is to level the highlands and fill the lowlands. Embankment on the flat ground. Using earth dikes to block water, this method did not clear the river, and the water would still overflow and flood, so the workers' water control finally failed. Views on agriculture * * * Gong Shi and his son Gou are both proficient in agriculture. They specialize in water conservancy problems in agricultural production. After investigating the land situation of the tribe, it is found that the terrain in some places is too high and it is very laborious to irrigate the land; Some places are too low to be flooded easily. In order to change this situation which is not conducive to agricultural production, Gong Shi invented the method of building dikes to store water. The specific method is: transport the soil on the high ground to the low ground to fill it up. It is considered that filling depressions can expand the cultivated land area and level the highland, which is beneficial to the development of irrigation and agricultural production. * * * Workers' anger cannot reach Zhoushan. Zhuan Xu's lineage belongs to the Yellow Emperor. Therefore, the dispute between the workers' families and Zhuan Xu because of their different views on agriculture can also be regarded as a continuation of the people's struggle in China. Zhuan Xu disapproves of Gong Shi's agricultural practices. Zhuan Xu thinks he is the highest authority in the tribe, and the whole tribe should only obey his orders, and Gong can't make decisions by himself. He opposed * * * Gong's implementation of his plan, on the grounds that if it was carried out according to * * * Gong's practice, it would offend God. As a result, there was a fierce struggle between Zhuan Xu and the Gong family. On the surface, it is a dispute between water and soil, but in fact it is a dispute over tribal leadership. * * * Gong is stronger than Zhuan Xu, but not as resourceful as Zhuan Xu. Zhuan Xu used ghosts and gods to encourage tribesmen not to believe the Gong family. At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods, and many people believed in Zhuan Xu. They thought that when Gong's land was razed, it would really offend ghosts and gods and lead to disaster, so Zhuan Xu won the support of most people. * * * Although Gong did not get the understanding and support of the people, he still firmly believed that his views were correct and resolutely refused to compromise. He is determined to sacrifice himself and devote his life to his career. He came to Buzhou Mountain (now Kunlun Mountain) and wanted to knock down the peak of Buzhou Mountain to show his strong determination. * * * Gong drove the dragon into the air and smashed it into the island. After a loud noise, Budao was suddenly hit by Gong, and suddenly it broke in the middle, and the whole mountain boomed and collapsed. * * * 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 "heaven is above the earth", referring to him, showing people's respect for them. Hou Yi
Legend has it that Yao was killed by paraquat, poisonous snakes and beasts at sunrise, and Hou Yi shot the people for nine days. The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon
In myths and legends, Hou Yi stole the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West in order to be together forever. After taking the elixir, Chang 'e went out to eat alone, feeling light and flying slowly to the moon. Chang'e
Chang 'e or Heng E is the wife of Hou Yi in China mythology. She stole the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West and went to the moon. She said that she would become a toad when she went to the moon, and then she married WU GANG. In Taoism, Chang 'e is one of the handmaids of the Moon God, who is also known as the "King of the Moon and Stars". Taoism regards the moon as the essence of Yin, and respects the moon god as "Moon Palace Huang Huasu Yao Yuan's Yuan Jun after the net victory", or "Moon Palace Taiyin Huang Jun filial piety and Wang Ming", also known as "Moon Palace Taiyin and Huang Jun knot, the treasure light shines like strange fruit, fruit, moon and sky".
