Chapter 7 Chapter Five
Fuxi carried out the original division of labor among the tribes, which were divided into construction teams, craftsmen teams, and hunting teams. Therefore, human beings began to have professional house builders, toolmakers, hunters, fishers, livestock raisers, and watchers. fire.Hua Xu became the full-time Yuelao of Chengji Taihao tribe.Fuxi discovered that spiders made webs in his spare time, so he invented the nets, which were used for catching fish and hunting animals.Nu Wa invented clay pottery, the earliest human pottery, and gave birth to Ren Si, the first child with a father.Fuxi also discovered the role of the sun and the moon while observing the sky and the earth, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter were also recognized.
After Fuxi's assignment was over, the Taihao people got busy following the method Fuxi taught.This is a completely different labor from the previous time in the cave.One is that the people of the tribe feel curious when they come into contact with new things, and the other is that they can only become more and more proficient in doing the same kind of things in depth. In addition, there is Fuxi who is constantly pondering and guiding beside them. The new tribe soon emerged with unprecedented vitality. For example, the craftsman team found all kinds of stones from various places, smashed and hit each other with stones and stones to get one or two sharper stone flakes, and then rubbed stones with stones to gradually The ground makes the stone have edges, corners and edges on one side, while the other side is relatively smooth, which is very smooth to hold and very sharp to use.You must know that humans have been making stone tools for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and they have a full understanding of what kind of stone to choose. After rubbing each other with stones or animal skins, the craftsman team made stone knives, stone daggers, stone axes, stone shovels, stone sticks, etc.Then they used harder stones to drill holes in softer stones, and they became stone tools with holes.The stone tools of this period were later called microliths.The fine stone implements such as stone knives and stone daggers they produced can be used to repair wooden implements and gradually turn wooden implements into wooden sticks, wooden forks, and wooden guns.If wood tools, stone tools, and ropes are combined, they can be used to make shovels for shoveling soil, picks for digging, etc.Compared with the past, this kind of change does not seem to have made much progress, but it is earth-shaking.Because, under the leadership and drive of Fuxi, human beings have gradually transitioned from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age.The generation of fine stone tools made and polished put an end to the period of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years since human beings could walk upright, and entered a period of rapid and vigorous development in the Neolithic Age.If you ask who should be attributed to this great achievement of human beings, only Fuxi deserves it. Of course, what Fuxi did to human beings is just a starting point.Turning things that people can see with the naked eye into a human undertaking, this is called creating things into business.Turning things into things, from chaotic and mixed operation to fine and specialized production, is itself a great invention of human beings. Let's talk about the construction team. They followed the way Fuxi built the earthen house and the new method that Fuxi and his people figured out, and used the tools provided by the carpenter team to build several types of houses on the ground that they had never thought of.One is quicker to make, and the materials are simple, that is, two groups of shelves are tied with wood and ropes and supported on the ground, and a beam is placed on top of them, and then some taller grasses are straightened out and placed on the shelves. If it rains, the rainwater will flow outside in the direction of the grass.Another method of housing is: dig a foundation about one step wide, and make the house into a rectangular shape with three sides closed and one side with a door.First lay the foundation with stones, and then cover it with neither soft nor hard soil and weeds, so that the four sides of the house stand upright and exceed the height of a person.Then put beams made of tree trunks horizontally or vertically on it, and then spread branches. Grass and mud are pressed on the branches to keep out the wind and rain.Of course, the houses started to be built at this time are relatively small, and only three or five people can live in them, but this is much more humane than the caves where people live. Built from the most basic ideas.In the future, the houses will be built bigger and bigger, stronger and more refined, which is also the reason why people have more and more knowledge and experience in building houses.Later, the houses that appeared were basically semi-crypt, that is, half of the house was underground and the other half was on the ground.Because only such a house can have the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer. Of course, at that time, people already knew the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter under the inspiration of Fuxi. Besides, the hunting party, now that they know that they can catch wild animals by digging trenches and traps, the Taihao people no longer fight back and forth with the wild animals in groups with sticks, stones and other utensils, but around the house, In the corners of the tribe, or on the mountains and in the woods, find those naturally formed gullies, block the two ends with wooden stakes, cover them with branches and weeds, and pretend to be flat ground, and the beasts will come out once they fall in. If it doesn't come, it will naturally become human food.There was quite a lot of fun in it. Fu Xi and others once stared at how some wild beasts entered the trenches and traps they had dug, and then happily captured the wild beasts. The hunting party also had other unexpected gains.As they dug deep trenches with shovels around the established village, they dug water again.Fuxi was overjoyed, so he used this method to smash a wooden stake into the water to make a well for the people to drink.This is the earliest well for human beings, and gradually evolved into the basic living facilities that must be built in the village. The hunting team also built several livestock pens according to Fuxi's original practice, and classified the captured live animals into deer pens, cattle pens, sheep pens, and pig pens.They also built rabbit nests for the hares captured from the mountains.The captured wild wolves are slowly trained into dogs that can be driven by people.Deer, cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, and dogs gradually synthesized into six livestock. The Taihaohua people are getting more and more experienced, and they gradually feel that dealing with live animals is much more interesting than directly killing animals.Gradually people discovered that small livestock could be born in each pen or nest; thus, people gradually began to learn to raise livestock, which was the beginning of primitive animal husbandry.Fuxi divided the hunting team into two teams: the hunting team and the captive team.The emergence and development of the captive breeding industry has resulted in the separation of breeding from hunting and gathering.This is the first major division of labor in the history of human society. Animal husbandry was gradually separated from various industries and became the most important industry in primitive society. However, simply relying on wild animals falling into ditches and traps will not catch too many wild animals after all.If the Chinese people of Taihao do not go out and only move in the Weishui River, the living space is really too small.This was not the initial thought of Fuxi and Nuwa when they came out of the cave.Therefore, apart from leading the people to work, Fuxi always thinks about one thing, which is to let the Taihao people go out, go out and conquer all the beasts, and give human beings a wider living space. During a day of leisure, Fuxi rested on the ground in a woodland, his eyes looked at the sky, and he thought about the grand plan of Taihao Huazu in his heart.A strange scene appeared in front of his eyes: between the two big trees not far ahead, there was a black spider weaving a web there.Fuxi was curious, so he looked carefully, and saw that the spider pulled a white silk, as thin as a hair, divided the silk into four pieces and hung them on the trunks of the two trees.Some insects flew away and were caught in the net, unable to break free, the insects were caught by the spiders and became food in their mouths. After seeing it, Fuxi realized it, and shouted "Miaozai!" Then he went back to experiment by himself, twisted the bark of various trees into thin ropes, and then wove the thin ropes into grids, finally making a net.Fuxi came to the fishing team and saw these people were practicing water skills, looking around in the water, but they couldn't catch a few fish for half a day. Some people had lost confidence in fishing.Seeing Fuxi approaching with bundles of ropes, he asked curiously, "Patriarch, what are these things you are carrying? What are you going to do?" Fuxi said: "This is a net for fishing. You have been in the water for so long, do you know where there are many fish?" The man said: "There are many fish in the puddle not far ahead, but the thing is too slippery to catch!" Fuxi smiled and said: "If you can't catch it, just find a way. You come with me." After saying that, he led the people to the puddle, and asked the people who came to divide into several groups. Each group grabbed one side of the net and put the net into the water. underwater.There are indeed a lot of fish here, and they are quite big.Seeing that many fish had swam to the top of the net, Fuxi shouted: "Pull!" Everyone pulled the net up together.But this time, more than ten big fish were caught.Seeing this, everyone was really cheering and cheering.With the net, you don't have to worry about fishing again. Fuxi activated the idea, and changed the net into a 罟, and asked the hunting party to take it to find the cave where the wild beast lived, or in the place where the wild beast often appeared, and put the net at the entrance of the cave or where the beast passed by. When they went out or passed by, they were caught in nets, and many wild animals were captured.There are some ferocious wild beasts, usually one or two people cannot deal with them, such as tigers, leopards, elephants, giant crocodiles, etc. In the past, when people saw them, they always hid far away for fear of being hurt by them.When there are such things as knuckles, human beings will no longer be afraid of them. The nets and knuckles created by Fuxi are not small inventions.Looking at it now, it is nothing more than gathering ropes in one place and weaving them together into different shapes.But in ancient times, in the era when humans and wild animals competed for food, it was terrible.Because of the nets, human beings have the ability to defeat any tall and ferocious beasts on the earth.Because of this, it is possible for the first time for human beings to become the overlord of the earth! The popularization and use of nets and kennels has enabled the Taihaohua tribe to obtain more and more animals, and the food they eat has become something that humans enjoy, and the captive breeding industry has become more and more prosperous.Fuxi later discovered that captive breeding also has its disadvantages, and it is necessary to find food for these captive livestock.He found that many animals are herbivores, so he decided to send people to herd them so that these herbivores can find food on the ground.From captivity to stocking, it is a new pioneering work.Thus, animal husbandry also began.Animal husbandry and animal husbandry are increasingly merged into one place, and this is a major industry that human beings have been engaged in until now. Besides, the women's team led by Nu Wa still collected wild fruits as before, without much progress, but when it came to using fire, Nu Wa discovered a major thing.She sent someone to call Fuxi, pointed to the soil under the fire and said, "Look at the soil under the fire, how is it different from what we usually see?" Fuxi looked at it for a while and said, "It seems that the soil has dried up." Nuwa said: "The fire is hot, so of course it's dry. Would you like to see a wet place that was burned by the fire yesterday?" She led Fuxi to another place, which had been burning for several days. Seeing that the fire was far away from where they were working, Nu Wa ordered people to move the place where the fire was burning.Nüwa stomped on the ground and said, "Look, it's much harder than usual, and it can even catch up with the hardness of rocks." Fuxi looked at Nuwa strangely and asked, "Did you remember something?" Nüwa said: "If I can make the clay as hard as a stone with fire, I can make a lot of things. For example, we used to drink water with our hands, or use a stone with a pit to hold water." Drink, then, why don't we make something with a pit and burn it into a utensil for use?" After hearing this, Fuxi thought about it, and stared at Nuwa for a while.Nuwa was a little embarrassed by his look, and asked: "What are you thinking, your eyes are so straight?" Fuxi asked: "Are you saying just now that you want to burn the clay with fire to make it as hard as a stone?" Wa nodded and said: "Yes!" Fuxi clapped his hands, as if he suddenly realized, he said to himself: "Smelting clay into stone, isn't it just smelting stone. And the fired utensils can be hard to hold water. Isn’t it just that the heavens provide for the inadequacies of human beings!” Then, looking at Nuwa, she shouted loudly: “Nuwa, you can think of using clay to refine stones, you are so clever! Or, it is better than my knot. Rope, this is the greatest contribution to mankind and the greatest supplement to heaven!" Nuwa was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Is it so magical?" Fu Xi nodded firmly. So Fuxi and Nuwa came to the water's edge, mixed some mud with water and soil, and made things with holes in the middle. Some of these things were big, some were small, some were tall, some were Short and of various shapes.Then, take them to the fire and roast them.After roasting for a while, Fu Xi said: "I'm afraid it's not possible to use fire to roast like this, because it can only be roasted to one side, but not the other side. I think it might be better if we set up a rack on top of the fire and put it on the fire to roast." " Nuwa nodded in agreement.So they put these clay products on it.Light the fire below with the firewood and let them burn blazingly.At the end of the day, the items were hard and strong from the fire, and they were clean and durable. Nuwa was very happy.She leaned her lips into Fuxi's ear and said, "It's not just you, I can make a lot of things here in Taihao!" Fuxi praised: "This thing you think about may be more powerful than anything I think about. Let's give these things that are burned out a name." Nu Wa pointed to those utensils and said, "This thing is called a basin, this thing is called a pot, and this thing is called a bowl. How about it?" Fu Xi laughed and said: "Very well, we will burn this kind of fire below. How about something that can harden the soft soil on top called a stove?" Nuwa said: "Great! Then all the things we can make should also have a general name. In my opinion, let's call it Tao!" The things Nuwa made are amazing. This is the earliest clay pottery of human beings and the ancestor of later pottery and porcelain.With these things, human beings have everything around eating and drinking.The invention of clay pottery was the first successful use of fire by human beings.In the past, people used fire to roast meat and get cooked food. That was not an invention of man, but a gift of nature to mankind.The invention of clay pottery is entirely the result of human use of the brain, and it is the embodiment of human intelligence and wisdom.The clay pottery invented by Nu Wa is the earliest man-made utensils used by human beings, which laid a solid foundation for later human utensils. The truth of the myth of Nuwa refining stones to mend the sky is Fuxi's summary of Nuwa's pottery.In Fuxi's words, the process of Nuwa firing pottery with fire and mud is the process of refining stone.And the function of making pottery is to make up for the insufficiency of the sky.This is something. Taihao's pottery making has become another major event under Nuwa's management. When human beings are really integrated into the life of invention and creation, the days go by too fast.In a blink of an eye, several months have passed, and the weather has gradually turned cold.Fortunately, many houses have been built, which are basically enough for the Taihao people to live in.After discussing with their mother, Fuxi, Nuwa and their mother, Huaxu, they divided the clansmen into houses according to the results of their labor. They worked every day during the day, and at night, on the basis of voluntariness and mutual consent, they went to Huaxu's old man to sign up. After mixing and matching, everyone went to find their own destination.As for Fuxi, he moved back to Nuwa's house to live with her.Coincidentally, at this time, Nuwa's abdomen was already protruding, and she was already pregnant and was about to give birth. Fuxi deliberately teased Nuwa and said, "Nuwa, what's wrong with your belly? Why is it so big?" Nuwa knew that Fuxi was teasing her, so she said on purpose: "Before, I accidentally got something into my stomach and couldn't get it out. Unexpectedly, he grew bigger and bigger. What do you think?" Fuxi said: "Then let him grow! The bigger the better!" Nuwa's abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and she still worked tirelessly to make clay pottery or draw ropes to make nets.When Fuxi saw it, he sometimes persuaded him: "You should rest more, or you will tire the child, and I will spank your ass!" Nuwa laughed and said, "I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl, but no matter what, he can be said to be the first person in the world to have a father. As a father, can you choose one for him first?" Fuxi nodded and said: "Yes! What you said is exactly what I think! Just a few days ago, I went out to observe the world and found that there is a big one not far from our original ginger water. Shuiliu, I call it Jishui, it is a good place. Our Taihao will also extend there in the future, I think if you have a child, you can call him Ji Bo!" Nuwa heard this and said, "This is a boy's name, but what if it is a girl?" Fuxi said: "If it's a girl, how about you give her a name?" Nuwa was very happy, with a look of hope and hope on her face, she thought for a while and said, "If it's a girl, let's call her Lusi, okay?" Fuxi asked, "Why such a name?" Nuwa said: "I think this name sounds good on a girl." Fu Xi said: "You can do it if you think it's good! That's right, it's a good name." Soon, Nuwa finally gave birth to a daughter amidst the shouts.When this girl was born, no matter it was Fuxi, Nuwa or Hua Xu, they were all surprised, because this girl's face was white and fat, and she looked very cute, but she was an ape with a human face and red hair all over her body. It has the shape of an ape returning to its ancestors.When someone in the tribe saw the girl like this, they said she should be called the ape girl. Fuxi, Nuwa, and Huaxu were all pleasantly surprised. Hua Xu picked up the child and said, "This girl's name should be the Jiang family. After all, we once lived in the Jiangshui Cave, so let's not forget our ancestors!" As soon as Fu Xi heard this, he immediately understood what his mother Hua Xu meant, so he named her Jiang Si.From then on, the children began to have a father and a surname. Although the surname has not been fixed to follow the parents, after all, a person's name has already been produced.Unlike Fuxi, whose name comes from the fact that he is good at cooking horses and providing fresh food for the Jiang clan.It's not like Nuwa either, it's a different sound because she is a girl.The name Jiang Si was chosen by his father and mother himself, so the meaning is of course quite different from other names. It can be said that under the conditions of pairing marriage that had just emerged at that time, not everyone knew who their father was, and most newborn children still did not know.So the surname is also extremely inconspicuous.But in any case, the era of the patrilineal clan finally began with Fuxi.Fuxi and patriarchy originally have the same pronunciation. Perhaps, Fuxi is the name left behind because he created a paternal era.After all, from this point on, men, as future fathers, have the responsibility of human beings, not just women's continuation of human offspring. Fuxi had a daughter, Jiang Si, and gathered the whole clan to celebrate the birth of her daughter.Men and women are divided into two teams. The men's team holds wooden utensils and shouts, while the women's team claps and shouts. The steps of each team are consistent and the rhythm is rhythmic.Each of the above major events was accomplished, and Fuxi tied a rope to remember them. At the time of Jiang Si's birth, a boy named Shaonan was born in the Shaokang clan of the Taihao family.Boys are big when they are young, and they will laugh after a day.Everyone liked him very much.After hearing about it, Nuwa went to watch it regardless of her weakness. From then on, the Shaokang family often hugged the young boy and the pregnant Si pregnant Si, namely Jiang Si.Playing together, Nu Wa regards the boy as her own. One day Shaokang said, "How about being a monogamous couple with my son when Ma Si grows up?" Nu Wa said: "Okay! That's exactly what I mean!" Since Nuwa gave birth to the pregnant woman, she thought about the pregnant woman every day.When the house is cool, you can bask in the sun, and when the water is cold, you can make soup.But the pregnant Si still kept crying from time to time.At the beginning, Fuxi also circled around Nuwa and Lusi, and according to Nuwa's suggestion, he developed a method of heating the house: building a kang with blanks.He scraped a few boards with stone tools, and made a rectangular mold out of the boards. He poured mud into it and smoothed it out. He took out the mold and dried it in the sun. He made a kang according to the level of ventilation. In cold weather, he used fire to burn it underneath. It was warm, and the house was much milder.Seeing that this method is very good, the people of the tribe all came to ask for advice, and Fuxi gave pointers one by one.Later, when encountering extremely cold weather, the size of the hut could not prevent it from happening. Only then did he realize that he must know the nature of the world. At this time, just in time for the land of Taihao, other clans came to the Weishui River in search of a place to live, and Fuxi accepted them widely.As the number of people increased, Fuxi thought of a way of rebirth.He walked all over the river bank, and finally saw some millet growing in a golden color among the weeds, and saw birds flying in the sky and landing on the millet to eat it. He thought that this thing must be edible, so why not try it .Fuxi changed his mind, put the millet into the pot that Nuwa had burned, filled it with water, and boiled it in water. It is both hungry and thirst quenching and delicious.Fuxi was so happy that he led the people back to the river bank full of millet grass, beat up all the millet grains, and sprinkled them in other soil by the river. Encouraged, Fuxi kept wandering around the Weishui River, and finally found two edible and usable things. One grew very big, and when it was ripe, it was cut open from the middle with a stone knife. It could be eaten or used as food. To make a ladle to hold water, if you hollow out the center of a gadget and fill it with water, it will never leak out.Fuxi was surprised and delighted when he discovered this.Because I just need such a thing when I go up the mountain or go to a distant place, Fuxi calls it a gourd and takes it with me as a treasure at all times.It's a pity that he found very little at that time, just such a gourd tree, leaving a complete gourd, and the other has been opened.However, Fuxi found that there were seeds in the gourd, and he thought of millet, thinking that it could also be planted in the ground.When it grows, there will be more and more, so I told the tribe that this is a gift from God, and the tribe will cherish it in the future.In addition, he also discovered a plant that can grow into flakes and has large leaves. Fuxi tasted it with his mouth, and felt that the plant was a little sweet and had a wonderful taste, unlike the things he had tried before. It's all bitter.Fuxi asked his tribe to boil some of it with water, and asked them all to taste it.Everyone found it extremely sweet after drinking it, so Fuxi named it beet.Since then, the tribe has always used beetroot soup when grilling meat and fish, which is much better than before. Inspired by this, Fuxi felt that there must be many things that can be used by human beings in nature, but human beings have not yet discovered them.Therefore, in order to bring more useful things to human beings, he had to go out of the house and into the deep and vast world. He walked up to the top of Qishan Mountain several times to see how high the sky was, and measured the banks of the Weishui River step by step. Want to know how far it is.He began to look at the sun, feel the sun, appreciate the sun, he watched the moon, admired the moon, and thought about the moon, he went to listen to the thunder, observe the lightning, wear the stars and wear the moon, in the cold wind and in the mist.He finally found a place to observe the sky and the earth, which is the place where he once picked up the Tai Chi Yin-Yang meteorite. He asked the Taihao people to build a high platform here, where they lay on their backs every day to watch and listen. On that day, he remained motionless; sometimes he held the Yin-Yang Tai Chi stone map and stared blankly at the Wei River flowing downstream; sometimes he drew dots, lines, and circles on the high platform, and often did not return for days and nights.Even when he returned to Taihao, he often said and asked some words that Nuwa didn't understand. Fuxi asked, "Nuwa, what do you think the sky is?" Nuwa looked up at the sky and replied, "Isn't the sky above?" Fuxi said: "Then what do you think the sky above is?" Nuwa shook her head and remained silent. Fuxi asked again: "What is the earth?" Nuwa said: "The ground is under our feet!" Fuxi said, "But what exactly is this place under our feet?" Nuwa shook her head and couldn't answer. Fuxi said: "Do you know that there is something connected between the sky and the earth?" Nuwa laughed and said, "How could I know, do you know?" Fuxi said: "I also thought of it. I don't know if I'm right! Between the sky and the earth, there are many things that grow on the earth and stretch toward the sky, or they are mountains or trees. A mountain or a tree reaching to the sky!" Nuwa nodded and shook her head, noncommittal. Fuxi asked again: "Do you know what is the use of the sun in the sky? What is the use of the moon?" Nuwa said: "The sun and the moon both have light, they illuminate the world!" Fuxi laughed and said, "I can't stop watching! When the sun is in the sky, the earth is not only bright but also warm. But when the moon is in the sky, the earth is dark and colder than the daytime. But the sun and the moon Why do they always change each other in the sky? What are the sun and the moon born of?" Nuwa became a little impatient when Fuxi asked her. She glanced at Fuxi and said, "I don't have the heart to think about these things every day! I just know that Si'er is hungry when she cries, and not hungry when she laughs." Fuxi said, "It's not exactly like this! The child cries, maybe it's because it's freezing, or it's probably because it's hot! But why is this earth so cold? And why is it so hot?" Nuwa said: "After a while, it will be hot again!" Fu Xi then nodded and said: "It was hot in the past, but after a while it became hot again. We can call it a reincarnation. I will name it Sui now." Nuwa was very surprised when she heard this, and asked Fuxi with her eyes wide open, "Then tell me, what is a year?" Fuxi said: "One big reincarnation is one year old!" After finishing speaking, Fuxi stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, cleared his voice, and sang loudly: After Fuxi sang, his emotions suddenly became very excited: "I look up at the sky every day, and the brightest things I see are the sun and the moon. During the day, the sun rises from east to west and sets in the west; But it also moves in the sky when it rises from the west and falls to the east. The sun goes and the moon comes, or the moon goes and the sun comes, it is the light that is generated by the mutual promotion of the sun and the moon! However, the sun governs the day, the moon governs the night, and day and night form a All day! This is the way of the sun and the moon, and the way of day and night is formed! The sun, the moon, and the day and night are the avenues of heaven! The heat and cold are not as simple as a day and a night, but they are related to the day. The moon is closely related!" Nuwa nodded frequently after hearing this, with an expression of admiration on her face.She suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Fuxi, you go out to various places and mountains every day. When the journey is far away, can you find it back here?" Fuxi laughed again: "There is a guiding star in the sky!" Nuwa looked at the sky, didn't understand, didn't ask any more questions, just shook her head. Fuxi saw that the millet grains sprinkled on the ground in the past actually grew grass.He knew that these were regenerated things, so he invited the tribe to watch, and told them that in the future, some small pits should be shoveled out on some flat ground to plant millet.When the millet grass grows up, the people of Taihao will have a new edible plant. At this time, there were several hundred people in Taihao, and the clan members continued to increase, and the houses also increased and expanded.Fuxi thought about this, so he asked the tribe to rebuild houses, rebuild nets, rebuild utensils, rebuild livestock pens, and then dig deep trenches and widen them to form deeper and bigger traps, waiting for wild animals to attack and fall into them.At the same time, the tribesmen were ordered to level the ground and set up a road leading directly to the Wei River, so that they could easily go to the Wei River to hunt fish.Therefore, the food eaten by Taihao people is not only the original wild fruit and cooked meat, but also fish, millet, beet and gourd, etc. The variety has greatly increased compared with before.In terms of clothing, each tribe can have one or two animal skins to cover their bodies when it is cold.Take what you need when it's hot.In terms of housing, it is no longer that clansmen are crowded together, but every two or three people can own a house.Especially in terms of use, it used to be only some simple hammered stone tools or wooden sticks, etc., but now there are too many things that can be used. There are all kinds of stone tools that are hammered, polished, and drilled. There are also some fine stone tools, bone tools, wooden tools, ropes, fishing nets, animal knuckles, gourds for holding water, and clay pottery of different sizes made by the women's team led by Nuwa: there are pots, there are Cans, bowls, pots, etc., Taihao has shown a thriving style in all aspects.It turned out that those who lost Jiangshui were lucky enough to be alive, or other tribesmen who came to Taihao, Fuxi took them in together. When Fuxi was not in the clan, Nuwa took care of all the big and small things in the clan. One day, Fuxi gathered his people together and said: "In the past, we knew that there were nine numbers from one to nine, but now I know that there is another number, which is nothing. What kind of number is nothing? It can be said that it is not It’s nothing, but it’s impossible without it. Why? When we look at the houses we’re building now, there are stones, dirt, and mud on the outside, but nothing inside. Do you live in it? Let’s look at the traps we dug. The bottom is empty, and the top is covered with branches and weeds. Only the beasts can’t see them and fall. If the inside is also soil, can the beasts fall? Another example is the bowls we use And jars, if the inside is not empty, how can we use them to hold things? The empty place is nothing, there is nothing, and there is nothing. We can call this nothing zero. Zero, one, two , three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, how many numbers are there? I call it the number ten, and there is such a number as ten. But is it really the number ten? I will tell you today, It looks like a number of ten. But with this zero, it is no longer a number of ten, but more and more numbers." Fuxi said again: "The clansmen know that the sky is above our heads and the earth is under our feet. Do you know that there are yin and yang between the sky and the earth, ebb and flow, big and small, and whether or not? The sun in the sky is yang for us. We call it the sun, and the moon in the sky is Yin. We call it the Taiyin. It is because there are Yin and Yang, and there are ebbs and flows, and there are cold and hot on this day. It is cold today, and then it is hot again. It is hot and then cold. This is called a year. There are four seasons in a year. The coldest time is called winter, the hottest time is called summer, after summer is autumn, and after winter is spring. Spring, summer, autumn and winter Year four. When Yin Qi declines and Yang Qi rises, it should be the beginning of one year old, and then when Yin Qi rises to its peak and then declines, it should be the end of one year old. How many days are there in total? I still don’t know for sure Let me tell you, I have to find out slowly. But I know that my daughter, Liu Si, has passed two summers, which means that the child is already two years old." After the meeting was over, the two led the pregnant woman back to the house, and Nuwa said to Fuxi, "So you were thinking about such things outside?" Fuxi sighed and said: "The people of the clan don't understand the language, and some things cannot be expressed in words. I do this to facilitate communication with the people of the clan!" Nuwa said: "I also know the advantages. You said that when the weather gets cold, winter will come. When winter comes, we have to prepare enough firewood, so that Si'er won't be cold." Fuxi laughed and said, "My wife is really smart!" Nuwa asked, "What did you call me?" Fuxi said: "From now on you will call me husband, and I will call you wife, and we will no longer be called husband and wife. Husband and wife have the same meaning. They are also a pair of yin and yang, but they are easier to distinguish than husband and wife. What do you think?" Nuwa blushed and said, "Poor mouth! But you are right!" Seeing that Nuwa was very good-looking, Fuxi laughed and said, "You and I, husband and wife, have different bodies. My yang is one, and your yin is two." Nuwa didn't understand, and asked, "Why do you say that?" Fuxi laughed and said, "You can tell by looking at your private parts." Nuwa laughed cheerfully: "Look at you, the more you talk, the more embarrassing you are now!" Fuxi said: "I have discovered a strange phenomenon these days, and I have never understood it. I stand on a high platform and observe the sun and the moon every day. I see that the mountains that the sun leaves are different every year, and the mountains that it enters are also different. To the east of the high platform, there are six mountains named Dayan, Hexu, Mingxing, Juling, Sumen, Qishan, etc., and to the west of the high platform there are also six mountains named Fengju, Kunlun, Tianshu, Sunyue, and Changyang. , He Zun, etc. There are six mountains in the east and west lined up from south to north. Every two mountains form a pair. South, repeating itself, I don’t know why?” After Fuxi finished speaking, he used a wooden stick to draw a picture on the ground, with six hills lined up on each side, and they were connected with straight lines: "That's it." Nuwa shook her head and said, "I don't understand!" Fuxi laughed and said, "You still don't understand? How stupid! The straight line is like something on my body, while the curved line is like something on your private parts." Nuwa blushed and said, "Your imagination is really too much!"
After Fuxi's assignment was over, the Taihao people got busy following the method Fuxi taught.This is a completely different labor from the previous time in the cave.One is that the people of the tribe feel curious when they come into contact with new things, and the other is that they can only become more and more proficient in doing the same kind of things in depth. In addition, there is Fuxi who is constantly pondering and guiding beside them. The new tribe soon emerged with unprecedented vitality. For example, the craftsman team found all kinds of stones from various places, smashed and hit each other with stones and stones to get one or two sharper stone flakes, and then rubbed stones with stones to gradually The ground makes the stone have edges, corners and edges on one side, while the other side is relatively smooth, which is very smooth to hold and very sharp to use.You must know that humans have been making stone tools for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and they have a full understanding of what kind of stone to choose. After rubbing each other with stones or animal skins, the craftsman team made stone knives, stone daggers, stone axes, stone shovels, stone sticks, etc.Then they used harder stones to drill holes in softer stones, and they became stone tools with holes.The stone tools of this period were later called microliths.The fine stone implements such as stone knives and stone daggers they produced can be used to repair wooden implements and gradually turn wooden implements into wooden sticks, wooden forks, and wooden guns.If wood tools, stone tools, and ropes are combined, they can be used to make shovels for shoveling soil, picks for digging, etc.Compared with the past, this kind of change does not seem to have made much progress, but it is earth-shaking.Because, under the leadership and drive of Fuxi, human beings have gradually transitioned from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age.The generation of fine stone tools made and polished put an end to the period of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years since human beings could walk upright, and entered a period of rapid and vigorous development in the Neolithic Age.If you ask who should be attributed to this great achievement of human beings, only Fuxi deserves it. Of course, what Fuxi did to human beings is just a starting point.Turning things that people can see with the naked eye into a human undertaking, this is called creating things into business.Turning things into things, from chaotic and mixed operation to fine and specialized production, is itself a great invention of human beings. Let's talk about the construction team. They followed the way Fuxi built the earthen house and the new method that Fuxi and his people figured out, and used the tools provided by the carpenter team to build several types of houses on the ground that they had never thought of.One is quicker to make, and the materials are simple, that is, two groups of shelves are tied with wood and ropes and supported on the ground, and a beam is placed on top of them, and then some taller grasses are straightened out and placed on the shelves. If it rains, the rainwater will flow outside in the direction of the grass.Another method of housing is: dig a foundation about one step wide, and make the house into a rectangular shape with three sides closed and one side with a door.First lay the foundation with stones, and then cover it with neither soft nor hard soil and weeds, so that the four sides of the house stand upright and exceed the height of a person.Then put beams made of tree trunks horizontally or vertically on it, and then spread branches. Grass and mud are pressed on the branches to keep out the wind and rain.Of course, the houses started to be built at this time are relatively small, and only three or five people can live in them, but this is much more humane than the caves where people live. Built from the most basic ideas.In the future, the houses will be built bigger and bigger, stronger and more refined, which is also the reason why people have more and more knowledge and experience in building houses.Later, the houses that appeared were basically semi-crypt, that is, half of the house was underground and the other half was on the ground.Because only such a house can have the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer. Of course, at that time, people already knew the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter under the inspiration of Fuxi. Besides, the hunting party, now that they know that they can catch wild animals by digging trenches and traps, the Taihao people no longer fight back and forth with the wild animals in groups with sticks, stones and other utensils, but around the house, In the corners of the tribe, or on the mountains and in the woods, find those naturally formed gullies, block the two ends with wooden stakes, cover them with branches and weeds, and pretend to be flat ground, and the beasts will come out once they fall in. If it doesn't come, it will naturally become human food.There was quite a lot of fun in it. Fu Xi and others once stared at how some wild beasts entered the trenches and traps they had dug, and then happily captured the wild beasts. The hunting party also had other unexpected gains.As they dug deep trenches with shovels around the established village, they dug water again.Fuxi was overjoyed, so he used this method to smash a wooden stake into the water to make a well for the people to drink.This is the earliest well for human beings, and gradually evolved into the basic living facilities that must be built in the village. The hunting team also built several livestock pens according to Fuxi's original practice, and classified the captured live animals into deer pens, cattle pens, sheep pens, and pig pens.They also built rabbit nests for the hares captured from the mountains.The captured wild wolves are slowly trained into dogs that can be driven by people.Deer, cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, and dogs gradually synthesized into six livestock. The Taihaohua people are getting more and more experienced, and they gradually feel that dealing with live animals is much more interesting than directly killing animals.Gradually people discovered that small livestock could be born in each pen or nest; thus, people gradually began to learn to raise livestock, which was the beginning of primitive animal husbandry.Fuxi divided the hunting team into two teams: the hunting team and the captive team.The emergence and development of the captive breeding industry has resulted in the separation of breeding from hunting and gathering.This is the first major division of labor in the history of human society. Animal husbandry was gradually separated from various industries and became the most important industry in primitive society. However, simply relying on wild animals falling into ditches and traps will not catch too many wild animals after all.If the Chinese people of Taihao do not go out and only move in the Weishui River, the living space is really too small.This was not the initial thought of Fuxi and Nuwa when they came out of the cave.Therefore, apart from leading the people to work, Fuxi always thinks about one thing, which is to let the Taihao people go out, go out and conquer all the beasts, and give human beings a wider living space. During a day of leisure, Fuxi rested on the ground in a woodland, his eyes looked at the sky, and he thought about the grand plan of Taihao Huazu in his heart.A strange scene appeared in front of his eyes: between the two big trees not far ahead, there was a black spider weaving a web there.Fuxi was curious, so he looked carefully, and saw that the spider pulled a white silk, as thin as a hair, divided the silk into four pieces and hung them on the trunks of the two trees.Some insects flew away and were caught in the net, unable to break free, the insects were caught by the spiders and became food in their mouths. After seeing it, Fuxi realized it, and shouted "Miaozai!" Then he went back to experiment by himself, twisted the bark of various trees into thin ropes, and then wove the thin ropes into grids, finally making a net.Fuxi came to the fishing team and saw these people were practicing water skills, looking around in the water, but they couldn't catch a few fish for half a day. Some people had lost confidence in fishing.Seeing Fuxi approaching with bundles of ropes, he asked curiously, "Patriarch, what are these things you are carrying? What are you going to do?" Fuxi said: "This is a net for fishing. You have been in the water for so long, do you know where there are many fish?" The man said: "There are many fish in the puddle not far ahead, but the thing is too slippery to catch!" Fuxi smiled and said: "If you can't catch it, just find a way. You come with me." After saying that, he led the people to the puddle, and asked the people who came to divide into several groups. Each group grabbed one side of the net and put the net into the water. underwater.There are indeed a lot of fish here, and they are quite big.Seeing that many fish had swam to the top of the net, Fuxi shouted: "Pull!" Everyone pulled the net up together.But this time, more than ten big fish were caught.Seeing this, everyone was really cheering and cheering.With the net, you don't have to worry about fishing again. Fuxi activated the idea, and changed the net into a 罟, and asked the hunting party to take it to find the cave where the wild beast lived, or in the place where the wild beast often appeared, and put the net at the entrance of the cave or where the beast passed by. When they went out or passed by, they were caught in nets, and many wild animals were captured.There are some ferocious wild beasts, usually one or two people cannot deal with them, such as tigers, leopards, elephants, giant crocodiles, etc. In the past, when people saw them, they always hid far away for fear of being hurt by them.When there are such things as knuckles, human beings will no longer be afraid of them. The nets and knuckles created by Fuxi are not small inventions.Looking at it now, it is nothing more than gathering ropes in one place and weaving them together into different shapes.But in ancient times, in the era when humans and wild animals competed for food, it was terrible.Because of the nets, human beings have the ability to defeat any tall and ferocious beasts on the earth.Because of this, it is possible for the first time for human beings to become the overlord of the earth! The popularization and use of nets and kennels has enabled the Taihaohua tribe to obtain more and more animals, and the food they eat has become something that humans enjoy, and the captive breeding industry has become more and more prosperous.Fuxi later discovered that captive breeding also has its disadvantages, and it is necessary to find food for these captive livestock.He found that many animals are herbivores, so he decided to send people to herd them so that these herbivores can find food on the ground.From captivity to stocking, it is a new pioneering work.Thus, animal husbandry also began.Animal husbandry and animal husbandry are increasingly merged into one place, and this is a major industry that human beings have been engaged in until now. Besides, the women's team led by Nu Wa still collected wild fruits as before, without much progress, but when it came to using fire, Nu Wa discovered a major thing.She sent someone to call Fuxi, pointed to the soil under the fire and said, "Look at the soil under the fire, how is it different from what we usually see?" Fuxi looked at it for a while and said, "It seems that the soil has dried up." Nuwa said: "The fire is hot, so of course it's dry. Would you like to see a wet place that was burned by the fire yesterday?" She led Fuxi to another place, which had been burning for several days. Seeing that the fire was far away from where they were working, Nu Wa ordered people to move the place where the fire was burning.Nüwa stomped on the ground and said, "Look, it's much harder than usual, and it can even catch up with the hardness of rocks." Fuxi looked at Nuwa strangely and asked, "Did you remember something?" Nüwa said: "If I can make the clay as hard as a stone with fire, I can make a lot of things. For example, we used to drink water with our hands, or use a stone with a pit to hold water." Drink, then, why don't we make something with a pit and burn it into a utensil for use?" After hearing this, Fuxi thought about it, and stared at Nuwa for a while.Nuwa was a little embarrassed by his look, and asked: "What are you thinking, your eyes are so straight?" Fuxi asked: "Are you saying just now that you want to burn the clay with fire to make it as hard as a stone?" Wa nodded and said: "Yes!" Fuxi clapped his hands, as if he suddenly realized, he said to himself: "Smelting clay into stone, isn't it just smelting stone. And the fired utensils can be hard to hold water. Isn’t it just that the heavens provide for the inadequacies of human beings!” Then, looking at Nuwa, she shouted loudly: “Nuwa, you can think of using clay to refine stones, you are so clever! Or, it is better than my knot. Rope, this is the greatest contribution to mankind and the greatest supplement to heaven!" Nuwa was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Is it so magical?" Fu Xi nodded firmly. So Fuxi and Nuwa came to the water's edge, mixed some mud with water and soil, and made things with holes in the middle. Some of these things were big, some were small, some were tall, some were Short and of various shapes.Then, take them to the fire and roast them.After roasting for a while, Fu Xi said: "I'm afraid it's not possible to use fire to roast like this, because it can only be roasted to one side, but not the other side. I think it might be better if we set up a rack on top of the fire and put it on the fire to roast." " Nuwa nodded in agreement.So they put these clay products on it.Light the fire below with the firewood and let them burn blazingly.At the end of the day, the items were hard and strong from the fire, and they were clean and durable. Nuwa was very happy.She leaned her lips into Fuxi's ear and said, "It's not just you, I can make a lot of things here in Taihao!" Fuxi praised: "This thing you think about may be more powerful than anything I think about. Let's give these things that are burned out a name." Nu Wa pointed to those utensils and said, "This thing is called a basin, this thing is called a pot, and this thing is called a bowl. How about it?" Fu Xi laughed and said: "Very well, we will burn this kind of fire below. How about something that can harden the soft soil on top called a stove?" Nuwa said: "Great! Then all the things we can make should also have a general name. In my opinion, let's call it Tao!" The things Nuwa made are amazing. This is the earliest clay pottery of human beings and the ancestor of later pottery and porcelain.With these things, human beings have everything around eating and drinking.The invention of clay pottery was the first successful use of fire by human beings.In the past, people used fire to roast meat and get cooked food. That was not an invention of man, but a gift of nature to mankind.The invention of clay pottery is entirely the result of human use of the brain, and it is the embodiment of human intelligence and wisdom.The clay pottery invented by Nu Wa is the earliest man-made utensils used by human beings, which laid a solid foundation for later human utensils. The truth of the myth of Nuwa refining stones to mend the sky is Fuxi's summary of Nuwa's pottery.In Fuxi's words, the process of Nuwa firing pottery with fire and mud is the process of refining stone.And the function of making pottery is to make up for the insufficiency of the sky.This is something. Taihao's pottery making has become another major event under Nuwa's management. When human beings are really integrated into the life of invention and creation, the days go by too fast.In a blink of an eye, several months have passed, and the weather has gradually turned cold.Fortunately, many houses have been built, which are basically enough for the Taihao people to live in.After discussing with their mother, Fuxi, Nuwa and their mother, Huaxu, they divided the clansmen into houses according to the results of their labor. They worked every day during the day, and at night, on the basis of voluntariness and mutual consent, they went to Huaxu's old man to sign up. After mixing and matching, everyone went to find their own destination.As for Fuxi, he moved back to Nuwa's house to live with her.Coincidentally, at this time, Nuwa's abdomen was already protruding, and she was already pregnant and was about to give birth. Fuxi deliberately teased Nuwa and said, "Nuwa, what's wrong with your belly? Why is it so big?" Nuwa knew that Fuxi was teasing her, so she said on purpose: "Before, I accidentally got something into my stomach and couldn't get it out. Unexpectedly, he grew bigger and bigger. What do you think?" Fuxi said: "Then let him grow! The bigger the better!" Nuwa's abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and she still worked tirelessly to make clay pottery or draw ropes to make nets.When Fuxi saw it, he sometimes persuaded him: "You should rest more, or you will tire the child, and I will spank your ass!" Nuwa laughed and said, "I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl, but no matter what, he can be said to be the first person in the world to have a father. As a father, can you choose one for him first?" Fuxi nodded and said: "Yes! What you said is exactly what I think! Just a few days ago, I went out to observe the world and found that there is a big one not far from our original ginger water. Shuiliu, I call it Jishui, it is a good place. Our Taihao will also extend there in the future, I think if you have a child, you can call him Ji Bo!" Nuwa heard this and said, "This is a boy's name, but what if it is a girl?" Fuxi said: "If it's a girl, how about you give her a name?" Nuwa was very happy, with a look of hope and hope on her face, she thought for a while and said, "If it's a girl, let's call her Lusi, okay?" Fuxi asked, "Why such a name?" Nuwa said: "I think this name sounds good on a girl." Fu Xi said: "You can do it if you think it's good! That's right, it's a good name." Soon, Nuwa finally gave birth to a daughter amidst the shouts.When this girl was born, no matter it was Fuxi, Nuwa or Hua Xu, they were all surprised, because this girl's face was white and fat, and she looked very cute, but she was an ape with a human face and red hair all over her body. It has the shape of an ape returning to its ancestors.When someone in the tribe saw the girl like this, they said she should be called the ape girl. Fuxi, Nuwa, and Huaxu were all pleasantly surprised. Hua Xu picked up the child and said, "This girl's name should be the Jiang family. After all, we once lived in the Jiangshui Cave, so let's not forget our ancestors!" As soon as Fu Xi heard this, he immediately understood what his mother Hua Xu meant, so he named her Jiang Si.From then on, the children began to have a father and a surname. Although the surname has not been fixed to follow the parents, after all, a person's name has already been produced.Unlike Fuxi, whose name comes from the fact that he is good at cooking horses and providing fresh food for the Jiang clan.It's not like Nuwa either, it's a different sound because she is a girl.The name Jiang Si was chosen by his father and mother himself, so the meaning is of course quite different from other names. It can be said that under the conditions of pairing marriage that had just emerged at that time, not everyone knew who their father was, and most newborn children still did not know.So the surname is also extremely inconspicuous.But in any case, the era of the patrilineal clan finally began with Fuxi.Fuxi and patriarchy originally have the same pronunciation. Perhaps, Fuxi is the name left behind because he created a paternal era.After all, from this point on, men, as future fathers, have the responsibility of human beings, not just women's continuation of human offspring. Fuxi had a daughter, Jiang Si, and gathered the whole clan to celebrate the birth of her daughter.Men and women are divided into two teams. The men's team holds wooden utensils and shouts, while the women's team claps and shouts. The steps of each team are consistent and the rhythm is rhythmic.Each of the above major events was accomplished, and Fuxi tied a rope to remember them. At the time of Jiang Si's birth, a boy named Shaonan was born in the Shaokang clan of the Taihao family.Boys are big when they are young, and they will laugh after a day.Everyone liked him very much.After hearing about it, Nuwa went to watch it regardless of her weakness. From then on, the Shaokang family often hugged the young boy and the pregnant Si pregnant Si, namely Jiang Si.Playing together, Nu Wa regards the boy as her own. One day Shaokang said, "How about being a monogamous couple with my son when Ma Si grows up?" Nu Wa said: "Okay! That's exactly what I mean!" Since Nuwa gave birth to the pregnant woman, she thought about the pregnant woman every day.When the house is cool, you can bask in the sun, and when the water is cold, you can make soup.But the pregnant Si still kept crying from time to time.At the beginning, Fuxi also circled around Nuwa and Lusi, and according to Nuwa's suggestion, he developed a method of heating the house: building a kang with blanks.He scraped a few boards with stone tools, and made a rectangular mold out of the boards. He poured mud into it and smoothed it out. He took out the mold and dried it in the sun. He made a kang according to the level of ventilation. In cold weather, he used fire to burn it underneath. It was warm, and the house was much milder.Seeing that this method is very good, the people of the tribe all came to ask for advice, and Fuxi gave pointers one by one.Later, when encountering extremely cold weather, the size of the hut could not prevent it from happening. Only then did he realize that he must know the nature of the world. At this time, just in time for the land of Taihao, other clans came to the Weishui River in search of a place to live, and Fuxi accepted them widely.As the number of people increased, Fuxi thought of a way of rebirth.He walked all over the river bank, and finally saw some millet growing in a golden color among the weeds, and saw birds flying in the sky and landing on the millet to eat it. He thought that this thing must be edible, so why not try it .Fuxi changed his mind, put the millet into the pot that Nuwa had burned, filled it with water, and boiled it in water. It is both hungry and thirst quenching and delicious.Fuxi was so happy that he led the people back to the river bank full of millet grass, beat up all the millet grains, and sprinkled them in other soil by the river. Encouraged, Fuxi kept wandering around the Weishui River, and finally found two edible and usable things. One grew very big, and when it was ripe, it was cut open from the middle with a stone knife. It could be eaten or used as food. To make a ladle to hold water, if you hollow out the center of a gadget and fill it with water, it will never leak out.Fuxi was surprised and delighted when he discovered this.Because I just need such a thing when I go up the mountain or go to a distant place, Fuxi calls it a gourd and takes it with me as a treasure at all times.It's a pity that he found very little at that time, just such a gourd tree, leaving a complete gourd, and the other has been opened.However, Fuxi found that there were seeds in the gourd, and he thought of millet, thinking that it could also be planted in the ground.When it grows, there will be more and more, so I told the tribe that this is a gift from God, and the tribe will cherish it in the future.In addition, he also discovered a plant that can grow into flakes and has large leaves. Fuxi tasted it with his mouth, and felt that the plant was a little sweet and had a wonderful taste, unlike the things he had tried before. It's all bitter.Fuxi asked his tribe to boil some of it with water, and asked them all to taste it.Everyone found it extremely sweet after drinking it, so Fuxi named it beet.Since then, the tribe has always used beetroot soup when grilling meat and fish, which is much better than before. Inspired by this, Fuxi felt that there must be many things that can be used by human beings in nature, but human beings have not yet discovered them.Therefore, in order to bring more useful things to human beings, he had to go out of the house and into the deep and vast world. He walked up to the top of Qishan Mountain several times to see how high the sky was, and measured the banks of the Weishui River step by step. Want to know how far it is.He began to look at the sun, feel the sun, appreciate the sun, he watched the moon, admired the moon, and thought about the moon, he went to listen to the thunder, observe the lightning, wear the stars and wear the moon, in the cold wind and in the mist.He finally found a place to observe the sky and the earth, which is the place where he once picked up the Tai Chi Yin-Yang meteorite. He asked the Taihao people to build a high platform here, where they lay on their backs every day to watch and listen. On that day, he remained motionless; sometimes he held the Yin-Yang Tai Chi stone map and stared blankly at the Wei River flowing downstream; sometimes he drew dots, lines, and circles on the high platform, and often did not return for days and nights.Even when he returned to Taihao, he often said and asked some words that Nuwa didn't understand. Fuxi asked, "Nuwa, what do you think the sky is?" Nuwa looked up at the sky and replied, "Isn't the sky above?" Fuxi said: "Then what do you think the sky above is?" Nuwa shook her head and remained silent. Fuxi asked again: "What is the earth?" Nuwa said: "The ground is under our feet!" Fuxi said, "But what exactly is this place under our feet?" Nuwa shook her head and couldn't answer. Fuxi said: "Do you know that there is something connected between the sky and the earth?" Nuwa laughed and said, "How could I know, do you know?" Fuxi said: "I also thought of it. I don't know if I'm right! Between the sky and the earth, there are many things that grow on the earth and stretch toward the sky, or they are mountains or trees. A mountain or a tree reaching to the sky!" Nuwa nodded and shook her head, noncommittal. Fuxi asked again: "Do you know what is the use of the sun in the sky? What is the use of the moon?" Nuwa said: "The sun and the moon both have light, they illuminate the world!" Fuxi laughed and said, "I can't stop watching! When the sun is in the sky, the earth is not only bright but also warm. But when the moon is in the sky, the earth is dark and colder than the daytime. But the sun and the moon Why do they always change each other in the sky? What are the sun and the moon born of?" Nuwa became a little impatient when Fuxi asked her. She glanced at Fuxi and said, "I don't have the heart to think about these things every day! I just know that Si'er is hungry when she cries, and not hungry when she laughs." Fuxi said, "It's not exactly like this! The child cries, maybe it's because it's freezing, or it's probably because it's hot! But why is this earth so cold? And why is it so hot?" Nuwa said: "After a while, it will be hot again!" Fu Xi then nodded and said: "It was hot in the past, but after a while it became hot again. We can call it a reincarnation. I will name it Sui now." Nuwa was very surprised when she heard this, and asked Fuxi with her eyes wide open, "Then tell me, what is a year?" Fuxi said: "One big reincarnation is one year old!" After finishing speaking, Fuxi stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, cleared his voice, and sang loudly: After Fuxi sang, his emotions suddenly became very excited: "I look up at the sky every day, and the brightest things I see are the sun and the moon. During the day, the sun rises from east to west and sets in the west; But it also moves in the sky when it rises from the west and falls to the east. The sun goes and the moon comes, or the moon goes and the sun comes, it is the light that is generated by the mutual promotion of the sun and the moon! However, the sun governs the day, the moon governs the night, and day and night form a All day! This is the way of the sun and the moon, and the way of day and night is formed! The sun, the moon, and the day and night are the avenues of heaven! The heat and cold are not as simple as a day and a night, but they are related to the day. The moon is closely related!" Nuwa nodded frequently after hearing this, with an expression of admiration on her face.She suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Fuxi, you go out to various places and mountains every day. When the journey is far away, can you find it back here?" Fuxi laughed again: "There is a guiding star in the sky!" Nuwa looked at the sky, didn't understand, didn't ask any more questions, just shook her head. Fuxi saw that the millet grains sprinkled on the ground in the past actually grew grass.He knew that these were regenerated things, so he invited the tribe to watch, and told them that in the future, some small pits should be shoveled out on some flat ground to plant millet.When the millet grass grows up, the people of Taihao will have a new edible plant. At this time, there were several hundred people in Taihao, and the clan members continued to increase, and the houses also increased and expanded.Fuxi thought about this, so he asked the tribe to rebuild houses, rebuild nets, rebuild utensils, rebuild livestock pens, and then dig deep trenches and widen them to form deeper and bigger traps, waiting for wild animals to attack and fall into them.At the same time, the tribesmen were ordered to level the ground and set up a road leading directly to the Wei River, so that they could easily go to the Wei River to hunt fish.Therefore, the food eaten by Taihao people is not only the original wild fruit and cooked meat, but also fish, millet, beet and gourd, etc. The variety has greatly increased compared with before.In terms of clothing, each tribe can have one or two animal skins to cover their bodies when it is cold.Take what you need when it's hot.In terms of housing, it is no longer that clansmen are crowded together, but every two or three people can own a house.Especially in terms of use, it used to be only some simple hammered stone tools or wooden sticks, etc., but now there are too many things that can be used. There are all kinds of stone tools that are hammered, polished, and drilled. There are also some fine stone tools, bone tools, wooden tools, ropes, fishing nets, animal knuckles, gourds for holding water, and clay pottery of different sizes made by the women's team led by Nuwa: there are pots, there are Cans, bowls, pots, etc., Taihao has shown a thriving style in all aspects.It turned out that those who lost Jiangshui were lucky enough to be alive, or other tribesmen who came to Taihao, Fuxi took them in together. When Fuxi was not in the clan, Nuwa took care of all the big and small things in the clan. One day, Fuxi gathered his people together and said: "In the past, we knew that there were nine numbers from one to nine, but now I know that there is another number, which is nothing. What kind of number is nothing? It can be said that it is not It’s nothing, but it’s impossible without it. Why? When we look at the houses we’re building now, there are stones, dirt, and mud on the outside, but nothing inside. Do you live in it? Let’s look at the traps we dug. The bottom is empty, and the top is covered with branches and weeds. Only the beasts can’t see them and fall. If the inside is also soil, can the beasts fall? Another example is the bowls we use And jars, if the inside is not empty, how can we use them to hold things? The empty place is nothing, there is nothing, and there is nothing. We can call this nothing zero. Zero, one, two , three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, how many numbers are there? I call it the number ten, and there is such a number as ten. But is it really the number ten? I will tell you today, It looks like a number of ten. But with this zero, it is no longer a number of ten, but more and more numbers." Fuxi said again: "The clansmen know that the sky is above our heads and the earth is under our feet. Do you know that there are yin and yang between the sky and the earth, ebb and flow, big and small, and whether or not? The sun in the sky is yang for us. We call it the sun, and the moon in the sky is Yin. We call it the Taiyin. It is because there are Yin and Yang, and there are ebbs and flows, and there are cold and hot on this day. It is cold today, and then it is hot again. It is hot and then cold. This is called a year. There are four seasons in a year. The coldest time is called winter, the hottest time is called summer, after summer is autumn, and after winter is spring. Spring, summer, autumn and winter Year four. When Yin Qi declines and Yang Qi rises, it should be the beginning of one year old, and then when Yin Qi rises to its peak and then declines, it should be the end of one year old. How many days are there in total? I still don’t know for sure Let me tell you, I have to find out slowly. But I know that my daughter, Liu Si, has passed two summers, which means that the child is already two years old." After the meeting was over, the two led the pregnant woman back to the house, and Nuwa said to Fuxi, "So you were thinking about such things outside?" Fuxi sighed and said: "The people of the clan don't understand the language, and some things cannot be expressed in words. I do this to facilitate communication with the people of the clan!" Nuwa said: "I also know the advantages. You said that when the weather gets cold, winter will come. When winter comes, we have to prepare enough firewood, so that Si'er won't be cold." Fuxi laughed and said, "My wife is really smart!" Nuwa asked, "What did you call me?" Fuxi said: "From now on you will call me husband, and I will call you wife, and we will no longer be called husband and wife. Husband and wife have the same meaning. They are also a pair of yin and yang, but they are easier to distinguish than husband and wife. What do you think?" Nuwa blushed and said, "Poor mouth! But you are right!" Seeing that Nuwa was very good-looking, Fuxi laughed and said, "You and I, husband and wife, have different bodies. My yang is one, and your yin is two." Nuwa didn't understand, and asked, "Why do you say that?" Fuxi laughed and said, "You can tell by looking at your private parts." Nuwa laughed cheerfully: "Look at you, the more you talk, the more embarrassing you are now!" Fuxi said: "I have discovered a strange phenomenon these days, and I have never understood it. I stand on a high platform and observe the sun and the moon every day. I see that the mountains that the sun leaves are different every year, and the mountains that it enters are also different. To the east of the high platform, there are six mountains named Dayan, Hexu, Mingxing, Juling, Sumen, Qishan, etc., and to the west of the high platform there are also six mountains named Fengju, Kunlun, Tianshu, Sunyue, and Changyang. , He Zun, etc. There are six mountains in the east and west lined up from south to north. Every two mountains form a pair. South, repeating itself, I don’t know why?” After Fuxi finished speaking, he used a wooden stick to draw a picture on the ground, with six hills lined up on each side, and they were connected with straight lines: "That's it." Nuwa shook her head and said, "I don't understand!" Fuxi laughed and said, "You still don't understand? How stupid! The straight line is like something on my body, while the curved line is like something on your private parts." Nuwa blushed and said, "Your imagination is really too much!"
