Chapter 11 Chapter Nine Kneading Earth and Making Man
Nuwa and Fuxi are in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Taihao tribe.When Nuwa was firing pottery, she put the clay figurines she fabricated in the pottery kiln and finally fired all kinds of strange clay figurines.It gradually evolved into myths and legends about Nuwa making man out of earth. At the same time, she also fired the largest meat cooker, which Fuxi named as Ding.During this time, Nuwa took the children Ji Bo, Fu Bao, Shao Yu, Bo Gao and Mi.Fuxi also developed new areas such as Daji, Xinshi, and Chenzhou, and named a mountain Huashan, and built a Yuanjun Temple to commemorate his mother at the foot of the mountain.
After a year, Nuwa led the people to rebuild Taihao's homeland.In Xintaihao, the tribal houses are more than before, and they are more durable than before. The alleys are much wider than before, and the livestock pens are more detailed than before. They are divided into cattle pens, deer pens, Sheep pen and so on.In Taihao, deer, cattle, sheep, rabbits, pigs, and dogs have been called the six livestock, and they are raised and grazed by special personnel.Under the management of Nuwa, animal husbandry has become the most important industry of the Taihao Hua tribe, and most of the people's food comes from this.In addition, there is a fishing industry and a large farming operation, both of which are also carried out by special personnel for fishing activities, and special personnel are responsible for the cultivation and autumn harvest of millet and sugar beet plants.With so many domesticated livestock, in addition to using their meat as food, the hides from these animals are basically used for winter protection.You can keep warm by tying animal skins around your body with ropes.Therefore, food, clothing and housing are basically self-sufficient, which can meet the needs of Taihao people. In terms of use, Nuwa has set up three professional handicraft workshops: one is a tool workshop specializing in the production of tools and utensils, producing a variety of utensils mainly made of stone and wood, including stone knives, stone shovels, stone axes, and stone shovels. , stone picks, stone daggers, wooden poles, wooden cones, etc.; one is a workshop dedicated to making pottery. After Nuwa succeeded in making pottery, a large row of stoves was set up to fire a large number of clay pottery. To meet the needs of the tribe for cooking meat, vegetables, rice, meat, water, etc.; the third is the workshop of ropes and nets to meet the needs of hunting, fishing and construction. Nuwa finally built a bigger house and named it Taihao Palace.Nuwa lived in it, and everything about Taihao was discussed and agreed in Taihao Palace. Nuwa also improved the original form of family organization, transforming the original pairing marriage system into a form where pairing marriage and monogamy coexist.That is to say, if two men and women with good feelings are no longer willing to have a mating relationship with other men and women, they can become a confirmed husband and wife relationship like Fuxi and Nuwa. It has become a relationship protected by the tribal people, and other people are not allowed to intervene in this relationship.If two people find that there is something wrong with their relationship or other aspects after they have been married for a while, they can bring it up to the tribe, and the tribe will announce the termination of their husband-wife relationship and return to the state of pair marriage. Fuxi's progress was no slower than that of Nuwa. He led Zhu Xiang, Haoying, Dating, Hundun, Yinkang, Li Lu and others to open up three new human strongholds.One is the place where he discovered the dragon and subdued the dragon horse, and established a new village there, called Daji, and also set up a divination platform.There are still relics of this place until now: it is located in Luokou Village, one kilometer east of Luohe River, and there is a platform 80 meters above the river bed on the east side of the Yellow River. The place where cold and heat cycle, construct and perform gossip, is called "Fuxi painting hexagram platform", and it has become one of the eight scenic spots in Huaiyang, Henan.Located in the land of Mengjin in Huaiyang, Henan Province, there is a place called Longma Negative Figure. A temple has been built, called Longma Negative Figure Temple, which is now under the jurisdiction of Mengzhou City, Henan Province.This temple has been built in successive dynasties, and it already has a large courtyard and many landscapes.In the past, when I climbed Fuxi Terrace, I watched the torrential yellow water coming from west to east, and the torrenting white Luoshui coming from the southwest. The yellow and white waters meet here and twist into a ball. It looks like a yin and yang fish plate Tai Chi diagram.A Longma Negative Map Temple was built here to commemorate the river map and Longma bestowed by God on Fuxi at that time.Although the ancient Yellow River has long been diverted, the historical relics are still radiating its former grandeur. In another new city in Jizhou, villages and a Fuxi Terrace were also built.Fuxi established the Hall of the Dragon Master of the Six Assistants here, and appointed Zhu Xiang, Haoying, Dating, Hundun, Yinkang and Li Lu as the six assistant generals.This place is now Xinle City in Hebei Province.Fuxi said: "From now on, our clan will be a dragon clan, and it must be stretchable like a dragon. Therefore, you must expand from Taihao Chengji to west, south, east, and north." In addition, in order to commemorate his mother Huaxu, Fuxi asked people to build a village in the land of Lantian not far from the foot of Huashan Mountain, and built a special house for his mother. Now this kind of house is called a temple, which is to commemorate the ancestors. place.The temple of Fuxi's mother is Huadi Yuanjun Temple.This place is the place where the Lantian culture was discovered, known as the Lantian ruins, located on both sides of the Bahe River in Lantian County, southeast of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. The third place, Fuxi named it Chen, also known as Wanqiu, is located in the north of Chengguan Hui Town, Huaiyang County, eastern Henan Province.Fuxi ordered people to build a large hall here, named "Tongtian Hall". Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon shuttle, and a few years pass in a blink of an eye.The Taihao Fuxi clan has already owned four tribes, and their number has increased greatly, with many houses, roads and alleys, and they have suddenly become a large and prosperous clan.Moreover, Fuxi also successively regained several scattered clans around Taihao, one of them, I heard that their patriarch is called Leishen, once occupied a large territory and several clans, but when the great flood broke out After that, they were annihilated without any life. The people who came to the Taihao tribe survived the great flood by luck, and were taken in by Fuxi and Nuwa.People of the Taihao tribe all followed Fuxi's words, hunting fish with nets, picking fruits and planting millet, and raising livestock.Fuxi still wears the stars and the moon, looking for mountains and rivers.He is like a fish in the water, able to swim from one bank of the Ji River to the other, sometimes playing with giant crocodiles, and sometimes riding an old white turtle to swim in the Luo River of the Yellow River.Guided by him, Nuwa also went back and forth in the water, not afraid of depths, agitated and calm, and able to handle tasks with ease.When the people of the tribe celebrate, they can dance in the water together, or play with white turtles, giant crocodiles, and water snakes, and perform for everyone. Nuwa gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The second son was named Shaoyu, the other was named Bogao, and the daughter was named Mi.In addition to taking care of her children, Nuwa also controls the tribe and leads the tribe to burn pottery. Ever since she knew how to use fire, the clay pottery made by Nuwa has become as hard as stone after being exposed to the sun and fire, and it can grow in water without being invaded.Nü Wa is an exquisite person, and the pottery she made is round and smooth, without edges or corners. She has already turned the pottery made by hand into a shape made by scraping the rotating board and wood chips, which is very convenient to use. .There are urns, bottles, bowls, jars, basins, etc. There are many styles and different sizes.It can be used to hold millet, rice, water, fruit, and meat.But Nvwa always felt that these utensils were too small, and wanted to make a larger utensil for cooking big fish and large pieces of raw meat, so she discussed with the pottery girls to develop it.The female potter who Nuwa taught also respected and loved her very much and obeyed her orders.They gathered everyone's ideas to make a big pottery with legs.Because she was involved in Tao affairs, and there were pregnant women, Ji Bo, Fu Bao, Shao Yu, Bo Gao, Mi, etc., although Nu Wa missed Fu Xi very much. One day when Fuxi came back, Uncle Ji saw it first, shouted: "Father!" and threw himself into Fuxi's arms.At this time he was nine years old.When Fu Bao heard this, he threw himself into Fuxi's arms and put his arms around his neck. At this time, she was seven years old.The two of them had already grown up and their bodies were heavy, Fuxi felt that the weight had increased.Another five-year-old Shaoyu rushed forward and hugged Fuxi's thigh, so Fuxi couldn't walk.Fortunately, Nuwa saw it and freed Fuxi. Fuxi entered the room and saw the two-year-old boy Bogao sitting on the kang in animal skin, hugged and kissed him, and saw the youngest child Mi looking at him with small eyes, so he hugged Mi.With a smile on his face, Fuxi asked Wa, "Where is Pregnant Si?" Fu Bao then said: "You still call her Lu Si, our daughter has been renamed long ago!" Fuxi was surprised: "Changed the name? What is it called?" Nuwa said: "Call Nupeng!" Fuxi said: "Nv Deng, it sounds very nice, why did you change the name?" Nuwa said: "Now this child is older, not as good as before. This child actually likes to climb mountains and ridges, and climb trees and heights. Her movements are extremely sensitive! So now the tribe calls her Nu Deng." Fuxi said: "Okay! It's good for the child to have a special talent. From now on, he will be called Nu Deng." After Fuxi finished speaking, he looked out and saw that Nv Dengzheng was sitting with the young boy in the garden, playing with plants and trees, so he didn't call him back.He asked: "Nvdeng and the young boy are getting along well, very well. The young boy is very smart and clever, and may have a bright future in the future." Nüwa asked, "You have been away these few days. I don't know what you got?" Fuxi said: "I already know how many days there are in a year." Nuwa stared wide-eyed and asked, "Really? How many days?" Fuxi said: "Three hundred and sixty days." Nuwa asked, "Why is it three hundred and sixty days?" Fuxi said: "I have checked how old it is, and it takes 360 days from one yin qi drop to another yin qi." Fuxi saw that Nuwa was thinking and said nothing, and said: "These three hundred and sixty days are one year old. It's annoying to remember, so I divided one year into ten months, called the one-year-old October solar calendar, and each month has thirty months. Six days." Ji Bo was beside him and suddenly asked, "Father, what is Yin Qi?" Fu Xi touched Uncle Ji's head and said, "Good boy, I have an idea. This yin qi is cold air. It is relative to yang qi, and yang qi is hot air. Do you understand?" Ji Bo said: "I understand the air-conditioning, but I don't understand the yin. If my father said it, I understand." It looked innocent and cute like that. Fuxi took out nine thin bone needles from the animal skin, and said to Nuwa with a smile: "These are called bone needles, and they are the most precious." Shaoyu stepped forward, grabbed the bone needle and played with it in his hand.Seeing this, Nuwa snatched the stone needle and put it in Fuxi's hand, saying, "You child, you are so ignorant!" Fuxi said: "It's okay for children to play. Once it breaks, I can grind it again." Nüwa refused and said, "How long will it take to grind out such a thin needle? I think it's better to be careful." So Ji Bo led Fu Bao and Shao Yu to go outside the house to find her sister Nü Deng to play. Fuxi took out a slate from his body and said: "This is a sharpening stone, used for sharpening needles, and this..." Fuxi took a round and flat utensil from his body, which was tied by him with a rope and carried on his back all the time. behind. Nuwa asked: "Isn't this a gourd?" Fuxi picked it up and shook it with his hand, and the utensil seemed to make a sound.Fuxi took a cover from the top with his hands, raised it to his mouth and took a sip, saying: "Yes! It's a gourd! I remember that not long after we first built Taihao, I had to live a gourd, but the gourd was not mature at that time. I just picked it, but it didn’t grow even though it could hold water. This time I saw this wild gourd on a mountain again, but I didn’t dare to pick it until it was ripe. Now I’ve removed the gourd seeds Lay it down and it can be planted next year.” Nu Wa said happily: "It's a good thing to get gourd and gourd seeds again! This thing is in good shape, and it is used to quench thirst. You don't need me to worry about it in the future." Fuxi said: "I gave you this! I have another one." Then he took out another one.Nuwa showed grateful eyes. After Uncle Ji left, Nuwa asked: "You said this bone needle, how can you call it a treasure? Could it be that there are many magical uses?" Fuxi said, "Do you remember that you quarried stones to cure diseases?" Nu Wa said: "You mean, this needle can cure diseases!" Fuxi said: "Yes! Human diseases originate from the natural cold and heat. When people are attacked by cold and heat, the human body cannot adjust to the climate of heaven and earth, so dizziness, nausea, vomiting, night sweats and other phenomena appear. , And then there will be various uncomfortable symptoms such as the head, neck, chest, abdomen, four arms, and five sense organs. These acupuncture needles can treat the vital points of each painful place and relieve the pain." Nuwa said: "In this way, it is indeed a treasure." Fuxi said again: "We children have different preferences. In the future, I will pass on Hetu, Luoshu, Bagua, and Jiuzheng to everyone, so that they can expand in all aspects, and the contribution to human beings may be greater than that of others. me!" Nuwa said: "I have only heard you talk about Hetu before, but why haven't you mentioned Luoshu. What is this Luoshu?" Fuxi said: "What I said before, maybe you didn't take it to heart! Luo numbers are the same as He Tu, and they are also another strange number array that I got from watching astronomy by the bank of Luoshui. This number array is beyond words. It’s hard to think of the wonderful things. Numbers are different and have different sizes, but when you put this group of numbers, look horizontally and vertically, and look diagonally, the result is the same as the number. Don’t you think it’s very wonderful?" Nuwa heard this, and said in disbelief, "Where can there be such a wonderful number formation?" Fuxi said, "Number formations are not rare, but the great principles contained in them are hard to understand! I understand!" Nuwa said: "If you don't understand, don't ask. I also have a great news to tell you that we have made a big pottery with legs. It will be much more convenient to cook fish and meat in the future." Fuxi asked: "Really, lead me to have a look." Nuwa led Fuxi to the place where the pottery was made. Fuxi walked in and saw clay figurines of various shapes and sizes on the pottery racks. They were very delicate and lifelike. Some were standing, some were sitting , some raised their hands, some bent down.Fuxi was very curious and asked, "Who did it?" Nu Wa ignored him, pointing to the two clay figurines hugging each other and said: "This is you, this is me, and the others are our children. I haven't taken them back to show them yet!" Fuxi couldn't help nodding his head and praised: "Okay, okay! Don't you just knead clay to make people? So you mean pottery with legs, you mean these!" Nuwa shook her head, pointed at a large pottery half a person tall and said, "It's over there!" Fuxi walked around the pottery for a few times, praising it, and asked: "This time everyone will eat cooked meat without worry, does this pottery have a name?" Nuwa shook her head, Fuxi thought for a while and said, "Let's call this tripod!" When Nuwa presented the big cauldron and the little clay figurines she fabricated in front of the tribe, all the tribe showed surprise and reverence.For one thing, they had never seen such a large vessel before, and they couldn't imagine that Nuwa could turn the soft mud into such a big, solid and beautiful thing.There are also these little clay figurines, although they are not big in size, they are just like real people. Some eyes are opened, some are fascinated; some mouths are opened, some are small, and some are closed; Some are standing, some are stretched, some are down; some are bowed, some are lifted, and some are standing... In short, there are various poses. In less than a day, the story of Nu Wa's creation of man from earth spread like a myth, and it became more and more strange. It has been passed down from ancient times to today, and it will continue to be passed down. Nuwa is the god of creation of our Chinese nation, and there are four main stories she left to future generations.One is the theory that she led the people to fight floods and rescue disasters and make gold and stones, which we have mentioned earlier; the other is her theory of kneading soil to make people; The story of Adachi Four Pole, this story can be told in the future.Naturally, these few stories have now become great myths.Of course, these myths are not groundless, just like the color photos that are cleaned up now, they are based on the real stories created by Nuwa. Although the truth is not as magical as the legends, five thousand years ago, Nuwa has such wisdom and courage, and she can truly become a legend in the world. Not long after the Taihao Chinese tribe explored in all directions, Zhu Xiang and others sent back various information.Zhu Xiang, who was pioneering in the east, reported to Fuxi: "Patriarch, we discovered a new human group in the process of marching east." Fuxi regained his energy when he heard it, and said, "Where did you find it? How far away is it from here? What kind of person is it?" Zhu Xiang said: "It's a very far place from here, and it would take two months to go back and forth. What we met was a group of women. They didn't all wear animal skins like us, but they were like us before. As in the cave, the upper body was naked, and the lower body was either covered with animal skirts or covered with leaves. They also had strange eyes when they saw us, but we didn’t alarm each other more, so I came back to report. " Fu Xi said: "Very good. It is a good thing that other human beings have been discovered on this land. I have hoped for this before." Zhu Xiang asked: "Why? Isn't the patriarch afraid that they will fight with our tribe in the future?" Fuxi said: "After all, they are of the same kind as us! Therefore, we must not fight with them, but we must get close to them. I will arrange the affairs of the tribe, and I will go with you to find these people in a few days. " Before Zhu Xiang left, Li Lu, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun walked over together.Li Lu said: "Patriarch, we found a pack of wild wolves not far to the north." Yin Kang said: "We also found traces of people in the forest to the west, mainly footprints. What's even more strange is that the footprints of these people are extremely large, equivalent to seven or eight times the size of our ordinary footprints, and these There is not one footprint, there are as many as three or five!" Fuxi buzzed his head when he heard this, looked at Yin Kang and said, "You mean, my lord?" Yin Kang nodded. Fuxi's eyes straightened, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Hun Tuan didn't see it, and continued: "There is a very tall mountain in the south blocking our way. When we climbed up the mountain, we found that this mountain was too dangerous. One of our clansmen accidentally fell. Fortunately, it was hung on a tree, otherwise it would have died a long time ago.” Fuxi thought for a moment and said: "Li Lu, we found wolves, don't be afraid. I have seen many animals. Generally speaking, these animals are not afraid of people, but they are afraid of fire. If you see wild animals again in the future, you will Light the fire, and the animals will not dare to come.” After finishing speaking, Fuxi turned his face to Chaos and said, "The mountain you mentioned is called Mount Hua, and it is the steepest mountain I have ever seen. My mother is buried not far from the foot of that mountain. In the southwest direction, it is not surprising that there are human footprints. It may be left by people from our tribe or people from the former Suiren tribe. It’s right to see someone. You should learn from Zhu Xiang on this point.” Finally, Fuxi said to Yin Kang: "What you said is very important. I heard from my mother when I was a child that she had seen the footprints of adults. Moreover, I am also a child born of my mother walking around the rainbow. I decided, Let's go east with Zhu Xiang first. When we come back, let's see the adult's footprints you saw!"
After a year, Nuwa led the people to rebuild Taihao's homeland.In Xintaihao, the tribal houses are more than before, and they are more durable than before. The alleys are much wider than before, and the livestock pens are more detailed than before. They are divided into cattle pens, deer pens, Sheep pen and so on.In Taihao, deer, cattle, sheep, rabbits, pigs, and dogs have been called the six livestock, and they are raised and grazed by special personnel.Under the management of Nuwa, animal husbandry has become the most important industry of the Taihao Hua tribe, and most of the people's food comes from this.In addition, there is a fishing industry and a large farming operation, both of which are also carried out by special personnel for fishing activities, and special personnel are responsible for the cultivation and autumn harvest of millet and sugar beet plants.With so many domesticated livestock, in addition to using their meat as food, the hides from these animals are basically used for winter protection.You can keep warm by tying animal skins around your body with ropes.Therefore, food, clothing and housing are basically self-sufficient, which can meet the needs of Taihao people. In terms of use, Nuwa has set up three professional handicraft workshops: one is a tool workshop specializing in the production of tools and utensils, producing a variety of utensils mainly made of stone and wood, including stone knives, stone shovels, stone axes, and stone shovels. , stone picks, stone daggers, wooden poles, wooden cones, etc.; one is a workshop dedicated to making pottery. After Nuwa succeeded in making pottery, a large row of stoves was set up to fire a large number of clay pottery. To meet the needs of the tribe for cooking meat, vegetables, rice, meat, water, etc.; the third is the workshop of ropes and nets to meet the needs of hunting, fishing and construction. Nuwa finally built a bigger house and named it Taihao Palace.Nuwa lived in it, and everything about Taihao was discussed and agreed in Taihao Palace. Nuwa also improved the original form of family organization, transforming the original pairing marriage system into a form where pairing marriage and monogamy coexist.That is to say, if two men and women with good feelings are no longer willing to have a mating relationship with other men and women, they can become a confirmed husband and wife relationship like Fuxi and Nuwa. It has become a relationship protected by the tribal people, and other people are not allowed to intervene in this relationship.If two people find that there is something wrong with their relationship or other aspects after they have been married for a while, they can bring it up to the tribe, and the tribe will announce the termination of their husband-wife relationship and return to the state of pair marriage. Fuxi's progress was no slower than that of Nuwa. He led Zhu Xiang, Haoying, Dating, Hundun, Yinkang, Li Lu and others to open up three new human strongholds.One is the place where he discovered the dragon and subdued the dragon horse, and established a new village there, called Daji, and also set up a divination platform.There are still relics of this place until now: it is located in Luokou Village, one kilometer east of Luohe River, and there is a platform 80 meters above the river bed on the east side of the Yellow River. The place where cold and heat cycle, construct and perform gossip, is called "Fuxi painting hexagram platform", and it has become one of the eight scenic spots in Huaiyang, Henan.Located in the land of Mengjin in Huaiyang, Henan Province, there is a place called Longma Negative Figure. A temple has been built, called Longma Negative Figure Temple, which is now under the jurisdiction of Mengzhou City, Henan Province.This temple has been built in successive dynasties, and it already has a large courtyard and many landscapes.In the past, when I climbed Fuxi Terrace, I watched the torrential yellow water coming from west to east, and the torrenting white Luoshui coming from the southwest. The yellow and white waters meet here and twist into a ball. It looks like a yin and yang fish plate Tai Chi diagram.A Longma Negative Map Temple was built here to commemorate the river map and Longma bestowed by God on Fuxi at that time.Although the ancient Yellow River has long been diverted, the historical relics are still radiating its former grandeur. In another new city in Jizhou, villages and a Fuxi Terrace were also built.Fuxi established the Hall of the Dragon Master of the Six Assistants here, and appointed Zhu Xiang, Haoying, Dating, Hundun, Yinkang and Li Lu as the six assistant generals.This place is now Xinle City in Hebei Province.Fuxi said: "From now on, our clan will be a dragon clan, and it must be stretchable like a dragon. Therefore, you must expand from Taihao Chengji to west, south, east, and north." In addition, in order to commemorate his mother Huaxu, Fuxi asked people to build a village in the land of Lantian not far from the foot of Huashan Mountain, and built a special house for his mother. Now this kind of house is called a temple, which is to commemorate the ancestors. place.The temple of Fuxi's mother is Huadi Yuanjun Temple.This place is the place where the Lantian culture was discovered, known as the Lantian ruins, located on both sides of the Bahe River in Lantian County, southeast of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. The third place, Fuxi named it Chen, also known as Wanqiu, is located in the north of Chengguan Hui Town, Huaiyang County, eastern Henan Province.Fuxi ordered people to build a large hall here, named "Tongtian Hall". Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon shuttle, and a few years pass in a blink of an eye.The Taihao Fuxi clan has already owned four tribes, and their number has increased greatly, with many houses, roads and alleys, and they have suddenly become a large and prosperous clan.Moreover, Fuxi also successively regained several scattered clans around Taihao, one of them, I heard that their patriarch is called Leishen, once occupied a large territory and several clans, but when the great flood broke out After that, they were annihilated without any life. The people who came to the Taihao tribe survived the great flood by luck, and were taken in by Fuxi and Nuwa.People of the Taihao tribe all followed Fuxi's words, hunting fish with nets, picking fruits and planting millet, and raising livestock.Fuxi still wears the stars and the moon, looking for mountains and rivers.He is like a fish in the water, able to swim from one bank of the Ji River to the other, sometimes playing with giant crocodiles, and sometimes riding an old white turtle to swim in the Luo River of the Yellow River.Guided by him, Nuwa also went back and forth in the water, not afraid of depths, agitated and calm, and able to handle tasks with ease.When the people of the tribe celebrate, they can dance in the water together, or play with white turtles, giant crocodiles, and water snakes, and perform for everyone. Nuwa gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The second son was named Shaoyu, the other was named Bogao, and the daughter was named Mi.In addition to taking care of her children, Nuwa also controls the tribe and leads the tribe to burn pottery. Ever since she knew how to use fire, the clay pottery made by Nuwa has become as hard as stone after being exposed to the sun and fire, and it can grow in water without being invaded.Nü Wa is an exquisite person, and the pottery she made is round and smooth, without edges or corners. She has already turned the pottery made by hand into a shape made by scraping the rotating board and wood chips, which is very convenient to use. .There are urns, bottles, bowls, jars, basins, etc. There are many styles and different sizes.It can be used to hold millet, rice, water, fruit, and meat.But Nvwa always felt that these utensils were too small, and wanted to make a larger utensil for cooking big fish and large pieces of raw meat, so she discussed with the pottery girls to develop it.The female potter who Nuwa taught also respected and loved her very much and obeyed her orders.They gathered everyone's ideas to make a big pottery with legs.Because she was involved in Tao affairs, and there were pregnant women, Ji Bo, Fu Bao, Shao Yu, Bo Gao, Mi, etc., although Nu Wa missed Fu Xi very much. One day when Fuxi came back, Uncle Ji saw it first, shouted: "Father!" and threw himself into Fuxi's arms.At this time he was nine years old.When Fu Bao heard this, he threw himself into Fuxi's arms and put his arms around his neck. At this time, she was seven years old.The two of them had already grown up and their bodies were heavy, Fuxi felt that the weight had increased.Another five-year-old Shaoyu rushed forward and hugged Fuxi's thigh, so Fuxi couldn't walk.Fortunately, Nuwa saw it and freed Fuxi. Fuxi entered the room and saw the two-year-old boy Bogao sitting on the kang in animal skin, hugged and kissed him, and saw the youngest child Mi looking at him with small eyes, so he hugged Mi.With a smile on his face, Fuxi asked Wa, "Where is Pregnant Si?" Fu Bao then said: "You still call her Lu Si, our daughter has been renamed long ago!" Fuxi was surprised: "Changed the name? What is it called?" Nuwa said: "Call Nupeng!" Fuxi said: "Nv Deng, it sounds very nice, why did you change the name?" Nuwa said: "Now this child is older, not as good as before. This child actually likes to climb mountains and ridges, and climb trees and heights. Her movements are extremely sensitive! So now the tribe calls her Nu Deng." Fuxi said: "Okay! It's good for the child to have a special talent. From now on, he will be called Nu Deng." After Fuxi finished speaking, he looked out and saw that Nv Dengzheng was sitting with the young boy in the garden, playing with plants and trees, so he didn't call him back.He asked: "Nvdeng and the young boy are getting along well, very well. The young boy is very smart and clever, and may have a bright future in the future." Nüwa asked, "You have been away these few days. I don't know what you got?" Fuxi said: "I already know how many days there are in a year." Nuwa stared wide-eyed and asked, "Really? How many days?" Fuxi said: "Three hundred and sixty days." Nuwa asked, "Why is it three hundred and sixty days?" Fuxi said: "I have checked how old it is, and it takes 360 days from one yin qi drop to another yin qi." Fuxi saw that Nuwa was thinking and said nothing, and said: "These three hundred and sixty days are one year old. It's annoying to remember, so I divided one year into ten months, called the one-year-old October solar calendar, and each month has thirty months. Six days." Ji Bo was beside him and suddenly asked, "Father, what is Yin Qi?" Fu Xi touched Uncle Ji's head and said, "Good boy, I have an idea. This yin qi is cold air. It is relative to yang qi, and yang qi is hot air. Do you understand?" Ji Bo said: "I understand the air-conditioning, but I don't understand the yin. If my father said it, I understand." It looked innocent and cute like that. Fuxi took out nine thin bone needles from the animal skin, and said to Nuwa with a smile: "These are called bone needles, and they are the most precious." Shaoyu stepped forward, grabbed the bone needle and played with it in his hand.Seeing this, Nuwa snatched the stone needle and put it in Fuxi's hand, saying, "You child, you are so ignorant!" Fuxi said: "It's okay for children to play. Once it breaks, I can grind it again." Nüwa refused and said, "How long will it take to grind out such a thin needle? I think it's better to be careful." So Ji Bo led Fu Bao and Shao Yu to go outside the house to find her sister Nü Deng to play. Fuxi took out a slate from his body and said: "This is a sharpening stone, used for sharpening needles, and this..." Fuxi took a round and flat utensil from his body, which was tied by him with a rope and carried on his back all the time. behind. Nuwa asked: "Isn't this a gourd?" Fuxi picked it up and shook it with his hand, and the utensil seemed to make a sound.Fuxi took a cover from the top with his hands, raised it to his mouth and took a sip, saying: "Yes! It's a gourd! I remember that not long after we first built Taihao, I had to live a gourd, but the gourd was not mature at that time. I just picked it, but it didn’t grow even though it could hold water. This time I saw this wild gourd on a mountain again, but I didn’t dare to pick it until it was ripe. Now I’ve removed the gourd seeds Lay it down and it can be planted next year.” Nu Wa said happily: "It's a good thing to get gourd and gourd seeds again! This thing is in good shape, and it is used to quench thirst. You don't need me to worry about it in the future." Fuxi said: "I gave you this! I have another one." Then he took out another one.Nuwa showed grateful eyes. After Uncle Ji left, Nuwa asked: "You said this bone needle, how can you call it a treasure? Could it be that there are many magical uses?" Fuxi said, "Do you remember that you quarried stones to cure diseases?" Nu Wa said: "You mean, this needle can cure diseases!" Fuxi said: "Yes! Human diseases originate from the natural cold and heat. When people are attacked by cold and heat, the human body cannot adjust to the climate of heaven and earth, so dizziness, nausea, vomiting, night sweats and other phenomena appear. , And then there will be various uncomfortable symptoms such as the head, neck, chest, abdomen, four arms, and five sense organs. These acupuncture needles can treat the vital points of each painful place and relieve the pain." Nuwa said: "In this way, it is indeed a treasure." Fuxi said again: "We children have different preferences. In the future, I will pass on Hetu, Luoshu, Bagua, and Jiuzheng to everyone, so that they can expand in all aspects, and the contribution to human beings may be greater than that of others. me!" Nuwa said: "I have only heard you talk about Hetu before, but why haven't you mentioned Luoshu. What is this Luoshu?" Fuxi said: "What I said before, maybe you didn't take it to heart! Luo numbers are the same as He Tu, and they are also another strange number array that I got from watching astronomy by the bank of Luoshui. This number array is beyond words. It’s hard to think of the wonderful things. Numbers are different and have different sizes, but when you put this group of numbers, look horizontally and vertically, and look diagonally, the result is the same as the number. Don’t you think it’s very wonderful?" Nuwa heard this, and said in disbelief, "Where can there be such a wonderful number formation?" Fuxi said, "Number formations are not rare, but the great principles contained in them are hard to understand! I understand!" Nuwa said: "If you don't understand, don't ask. I also have a great news to tell you that we have made a big pottery with legs. It will be much more convenient to cook fish and meat in the future." Fuxi asked: "Really, lead me to have a look." Nuwa led Fuxi to the place where the pottery was made. Fuxi walked in and saw clay figurines of various shapes and sizes on the pottery racks. They were very delicate and lifelike. Some were standing, some were sitting , some raised their hands, some bent down.Fuxi was very curious and asked, "Who did it?" Nu Wa ignored him, pointing to the two clay figurines hugging each other and said: "This is you, this is me, and the others are our children. I haven't taken them back to show them yet!" Fuxi couldn't help nodding his head and praised: "Okay, okay! Don't you just knead clay to make people? So you mean pottery with legs, you mean these!" Nuwa shook her head, pointed at a large pottery half a person tall and said, "It's over there!" Fuxi walked around the pottery for a few times, praising it, and asked: "This time everyone will eat cooked meat without worry, does this pottery have a name?" Nuwa shook her head, Fuxi thought for a while and said, "Let's call this tripod!" When Nuwa presented the big cauldron and the little clay figurines she fabricated in front of the tribe, all the tribe showed surprise and reverence.For one thing, they had never seen such a large vessel before, and they couldn't imagine that Nuwa could turn the soft mud into such a big, solid and beautiful thing.There are also these little clay figurines, although they are not big in size, they are just like real people. Some eyes are opened, some are fascinated; some mouths are opened, some are small, and some are closed; Some are standing, some are stretched, some are down; some are bowed, some are lifted, and some are standing... In short, there are various poses. In less than a day, the story of Nu Wa's creation of man from earth spread like a myth, and it became more and more strange. It has been passed down from ancient times to today, and it will continue to be passed down. Nuwa is the god of creation of our Chinese nation, and there are four main stories she left to future generations.One is the theory that she led the people to fight floods and rescue disasters and make gold and stones, which we have mentioned earlier; the other is her theory of kneading soil to make people; The story of Adachi Four Pole, this story can be told in the future.Naturally, these few stories have now become great myths.Of course, these myths are not groundless, just like the color photos that are cleaned up now, they are based on the real stories created by Nuwa. Although the truth is not as magical as the legends, five thousand years ago, Nuwa has such wisdom and courage, and she can truly become a legend in the world. Not long after the Taihao Chinese tribe explored in all directions, Zhu Xiang and others sent back various information.Zhu Xiang, who was pioneering in the east, reported to Fuxi: "Patriarch, we discovered a new human group in the process of marching east." Fuxi regained his energy when he heard it, and said, "Where did you find it? How far away is it from here? What kind of person is it?" Zhu Xiang said: "It's a very far place from here, and it would take two months to go back and forth. What we met was a group of women. They didn't all wear animal skins like us, but they were like us before. As in the cave, the upper body was naked, and the lower body was either covered with animal skirts or covered with leaves. They also had strange eyes when they saw us, but we didn’t alarm each other more, so I came back to report. " Fu Xi said: "Very good. It is a good thing that other human beings have been discovered on this land. I have hoped for this before." Zhu Xiang asked: "Why? Isn't the patriarch afraid that they will fight with our tribe in the future?" Fuxi said: "After all, they are of the same kind as us! Therefore, we must not fight with them, but we must get close to them. I will arrange the affairs of the tribe, and I will go with you to find these people in a few days. " Before Zhu Xiang left, Li Lu, Yin Kang, and Hun Dun walked over together.Li Lu said: "Patriarch, we found a pack of wild wolves not far to the north." Yin Kang said: "We also found traces of people in the forest to the west, mainly footprints. What's even more strange is that the footprints of these people are extremely large, equivalent to seven or eight times the size of our ordinary footprints, and these There is not one footprint, there are as many as three or five!" Fuxi buzzed his head when he heard this, looked at Yin Kang and said, "You mean, my lord?" Yin Kang nodded. Fuxi's eyes straightened, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Hun Tuan didn't see it, and continued: "There is a very tall mountain in the south blocking our way. When we climbed up the mountain, we found that this mountain was too dangerous. One of our clansmen accidentally fell. Fortunately, it was hung on a tree, otherwise it would have died a long time ago.” Fuxi thought for a moment and said: "Li Lu, we found wolves, don't be afraid. I have seen many animals. Generally speaking, these animals are not afraid of people, but they are afraid of fire. If you see wild animals again in the future, you will Light the fire, and the animals will not dare to come.” After finishing speaking, Fuxi turned his face to Chaos and said, "The mountain you mentioned is called Mount Hua, and it is the steepest mountain I have ever seen. My mother is buried not far from the foot of that mountain. In the southwest direction, it is not surprising that there are human footprints. It may be left by people from our tribe or people from the former Suiren tribe. It’s right to see someone. You should learn from Zhu Xiang on this point.” Finally, Fuxi said to Yin Kang: "What you said is very important. I heard from my mother when I was a child that she had seen the footprints of adults. Moreover, I am also a child born of my mother walking around the rainbow. I decided, Let's go east with Zhu Xiang first. When we come back, let's see the adult's footprints you saw!"
