Chapter 23 Chapter 21 Shennong Ceremony
Shennong, Jibo, Fuxi, Nuwa, Nvdeng, Tingxu, Kuafu, Xingtian, Baifu and others came from Taihao to the Fire Tribe to visit the Suiren.Suiren revealed a shocking secret, saying that Fuxi was his son, and Fuxi didn't object, and he and Shennong each performed magic tricks to treat Suiren's illness.Shaodian and Xiaoxuan also came, but Fu Bao didn't.Chi You learned of his father's disappearance from Nv Deng.Suiren, Fuxi, and Nuwa held a big wedding for Shennong and Tingxu, and at the same time, Suiren also held a Zen throne ceremony for Shennong.At the ceremony, Fuxi's daughter Mi played the world's first song "Marriage Farewell" composed by Fuxi.But after the ceremony, Suiren died because of being too excited, and the Fire Clan became overjoyed and sad again.
Under the leadership of Bai Fu, ten people including Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, Jibo, Tingxu, Nvdeng, Kuafu, Nuzhen, Xingtian, and Mi came to the Fire Phoenix tribe smoothly, and Fuxi and Suiren finally got to know each other. See.These two people who used to be quarreling and disagreeing in the Jiangshui cave no longer felt like they were fighting for skills and wits like before.Fuxi first came to hold Suiren's hand, and called "Brother Suiren", which made Suiren stunned.Suiren asked Fuxi, "Why do you call me brother? Didn't your mother Hua Xu tell you?" Fu Xi was also stunned after hearing this, and he asked, "What did my mother Hua Xu tell me?" Sui Ren said: "Didn't she tell you that I am your father?" Fuxi was even more surprised. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "What? You are my father?" Nuwa was also surprised, and both her and Fuxi's eyes widened. Fuxi looked at the Suiren and asked: "What's the matter? Wasn't I born by my mother's footprints? I heard before that I was conceived by my mother's footprints after a rainbow circled her body. After thirteen years, I was born. child!" Suiren frowned and said, "Where are there so many adults in this world? Even if there were, it would be very difficult to meet them! Those ancient adults mentioned by the ancestors are all extinct!" Fu Xi shook his head and said: "No, some adults still exist, and Xiao Kuikai is the successor of the adults!" Suiren looked at Shennong and said, "He's not small, but the adults I've heard before are much taller than him!" Fuxi smiled and said: "I have also met some adults, no, they should be called giants. They all suffered from the great flood. They left me three children, and Kui Kai's father Shaodian is one of them .” It was Suiren's turn to be surprised, and he asked, "Have you really met your lord? What's going on?" Fuxi told the story of meeting an adult on a higher mountain not far from Kunlun Mountain, and also told the story of meeting a giant on Mount Tai in the east, and said: "Since then , I really thought I was a child who was born in the footsteps of an adult! Moreover, I found a few pictures left by that giant on Mount Tai. In one picture, it was recorded that this giant met by a lake. As for a girl, I always thought that I was his son!" After hearing this, Suiren shook his head and said, "No, you should be my son! It's been too long since I said it. To put it simply, I wasn't from Qishan Jiangshui Cave before. , we are a group of people who came out to find a place to live, because we also encountered a rare flood there, and the rest of the people were washed away by the water. I led the rest of the people to the high place and left After a long time, I came to the land of Mount Qi, and met your mother Hua Xu who went out to collect fruits, and two other women from the Jiangshui tribe. I think they should be Xuan Jiang and Aunt Qiang! They led us to In the Jiangshui cave, the patriarch took us in. And this time, I heard about your mother walking around in a rainbow! At that time, the old patriarch of Jiangshui also believed your mother Hua Xu's words, and did not Let the tribe touch her again, and let me protect her! I once asked your mother, Hua Xu, if she met some adult? But your mother shook her head and said, how could I meet an adult? I don’t want to go to that She mates with other foreigners in the copulation hole, so she made up this lie. She also said that she fell in love with me and only wanted to be with me alone! From that time until your mother gave birth to you, there was only me With your mother. Come to think of it, whose son are you if you are not mine?" Fuxi fell into deep thought.If he hadn't seen the giant himself, maybe he would have believed Suiren's words easily.But on Mount Tai in the east, he saw the face of the giant with his own eyes, and at the same time saw the picture left by the giant.The combination of these two is enough to convince him that he is the descendant of that giant.However, what Suiren said was not unreasonable, after all, he had been with his mother all along.When my mother was alive, the way she looked at Suiren was different from the way she looked at other people.And it is very possible that he is the son of Suiren.Thinking of this, Fuxi asked: "Am I really not a descendant of giants! Then what my mother said before was all false?" Sui Ren said: "The reason why your mother didn't tell you the truth is because she hated me for not going with you to Chengji! Think about it with Nu Wa, how could this woman who walks on the road of people and surrounded by rainbows get pregnant? Then It was a beautiful lie that Hua Xu and I made up to ensure the purity of the species and that you were the first child with a father! You may know that at that time, the tribe practiced group intercourse, and girls reached a certain age Go to a fixed copulation hole and have group mating with non-native men in the copulation hole, sometimes one man, sometimes many men. A woman who is especially beautiful like your mother will definitely meet Many foreign men wanted to mate with her. At that time, she had a very good relationship with the old patriarch, and the old patriarch knew how she felt. She was afraid of going to the copulation hole, and she was afraid of those men. At that time, she and I had been in a relationship In the midst of a passionate relationship, she told me her thoughts, and we came up with this strategy based on her past experience. The group intercourse system at that time was not focused on the emotional integration between men and women, but It is an early continuation and spread of the species. Once a woman is pregnant, she will no longer allow men to get close. We have heard that the time to conceive is longer than that of normal people, so this statement can make I had plenty of time to get in touch with your mother, Hua Xu. But we were also very unfortunate. We waited for thirteen years to have you, but at that time, the tribe had a new patriarch, and this patriarch fell in love with me. You also understood your mother and I's plan, so we were separated alive." Nuwa listened, and suddenly asked: "Then, am I born to you and my mother?" Suiren shook his head and said: "No, because since your mother gave birth to Fuxi, the new patriarch no longer let me have contact with your mother, and your mother was also forcibly taken into the coital cave. Who is your father? , I'm afraid your mother doesn't know either!" Nuwa's expression darkened suddenly, she looked at Fuxi and said, "I can't catch up with you, you have a father, but I don't." After she finished speaking, tears appeared in her eyes. Suiren looked at Nuwa and said, "Son, it's not your fault, nor your mother's. That's what a matrilineal society is like! For the offspring born of group sex between a woman and a man, they can only know who the mother is, and who is the father?" Who, I'm afraid your mother doesn't know either! Fuxi is the most special person that appeared in the Jiangshui cave, only he has a father. But in Jiangshui, I didn't dare to tell him, and I didn't tell him until today!" Fuxi thought about it, and suddenly knelt down in front of Suiren and said, "Father, since you know you are my father, why didn't you go with us when Nuwa and I founded a new tribe in Chengji?" Suiren also had tears in his eyes and said: "This is the one thing I regret most in my life. I am not afraid of your jokes if I say it. I feel ashamed to be your father! The new patriarch treats me Very good, she has a few daughters, let me take care of them. I am not a member of the Jiang family, and I was also a strong man with a very good body... I can see that your mother hated me very much at that time, So when I went to Chengji to send fire to you, she ignored me! I knew that I could only leave her forever, and I would have no face to see her again!" Fu Xi's eyes were filled with tears.He grabbed Suiren's hand and said: "Later, the flood flooded the Jiangshui people. My mother thought you were dead too. She regretted it very much. She said, why didn't she go out that day, why didn't she go out that day?" How about keeping you?" Sui Ren said: "It's our Jiangshui people who live in the sky, and we have the Chengji and Huofenghuang tribes! By the way, why didn't your mother come? Is she okay now?" Fuxi wiped away his tears and said after a long time: "Afterwards, the earth shook and most of Chengji's houses collapsed. My mother was very unfortunate. She didn't come out, and we will never see her again." After hearing this, Suiren couldn't help crying.Calculated according to the current age, the Suiren at that time was also an old man in his eighties. This is an old man who has experienced countless hardships in his life and has already seen through life and death. His tears and his nose merged together. A long sticky strip was pulled up under the chin. It's better to listen to the eyes and wipe them gently with a piece of sackcloth for the old man.Fu Xi looked at Ting Xi very moved. Suiren wept for a while, and then asked: "I don't understand something, Fuxi, you and Nuwa are brothers and sisters born to the same mother. How can you two get married and have children? This is not allowed by the Jiang tribe." Yes! This is of no benefit to future generations!" After the Suiren finished speaking, the old people looked at them one by one, and said after reading: "I heard from Kui Kai that you have three men and three women, are they all good? Let me see! Now that you are old, My eyes are not working well either!" Nuwa looked at Fuxi, and tears also flowed in her eyes.Fuxi forced a smile on his face, and while telling Suiren about the experience of his marriage with Nuwa, he pulled Nu Deng, Ji Bo, and Mi closer to introduce them to Suiren for them to watch.This time Shaoyu and Bogao didn't bring them, Nuwa asked them two brothers to look after the Taihao tribe.After Suiren heard this, he was also moved by Fuxi and Nuwa's spirit of sacrificing themselves for the continuation of mankind, and at the same time regretted that he did not bring people to Chengji. After looking at the children of Fuxi and Nuwa, Suiren held their hands and kept saying "yes", saying: "In the world, your Fuxi is a dragon, and your Taihao is not a dragon." Is it a tribe? And Nuwa is a tiger! Didn’t she often ride a tiger and herd sheep? You two are a real combination of dragon and tiger! Seeing that all of your children have such dragon tendons and tiger eyes, I am relieved gone." When Suiren saw Mi, he stopped to look at Mi for a long time, and said to Nüwa, "This child looks too much like your grandmother Hua Xu in the cave. What's his name?" Mi said, "Mi." The Suiren said, "What? Mi?" Fuxi said: "Yes, among the three daughters, she is the youngest daughter I love the most." Suiren said again, "Good!", and coughed again and again.Fuxi knew that Suiren was still ill, he looked at Suiren's face, wrapped his arms around him hurriedly and said, "Don't move, father, don't move, look at your body, you must be feeling uncomfortable. Seeing you standing up and lying down, it must be that the joints are affected by the cold, I have brought nine needles, I guess I can cure your pain, we will talk as we go." After Fuxi finished speaking, he laid the Suiren flat, took out nine needles from the pouch, found the relevant acupuncture points, and inserted them lightly with the stone needles.Suiren looked at Fuxi, then at Tingxu and Shennong and said, "It's been too long since we parted. I sent little Kuikui and Tingxu away a while ago, and I haven't returned for a long time. I thought I would never see them again. I didn't expect you and Nuwa to be able to send them back, it's really great." Nuwa took out the corrugated leather coat she made and said, "This is a dowry gift from Fuxi and I. I heard that this child is not bad, and he agrees with Kui Kui. I heard that you also have the same intention. We recognize you, but if Hired Tingxu, is it true that you are getting married again! But I need to ask you one more thing, is Tingxu really your great-granddaughter?" Suiren knew what Nuwa was asking, so he held Nuwa's hand and said, "No! I didn't tell Kui Kui before, but I picked up Tingxu and her mother, according to Tingxu's mother. Ah, they were originally born in Chishui, I met them when I was out on a trip, and at that time the little cymbals were only so long, and they couldn’t walk yet.” Suiren said, and made gestures with his hands. I feel a little embarrassed to hear that. Suiren continued: "I thought they were very pitiful at that time, so I brought them back. Now it has been more than ten years, and Tingxu has grown into a big child. I have always treated them as relatives what!" After hearing this, Nuwa let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if there is no real blood relationship! I won't bother you to take care of her from now on, she will be our Taihao's person from now on." Sui Ren said: "I understand what you said. In fact, when I first met Kui Kai, I had this kind of thought! That's why I let her follow Kui Kai to travel all over the world! I had intended it a long time ago, but, The marriage ceremony will be held in my Fire Phoenix Tribe, so I can't go to your Taihao!" Fuxi smiled, looked at Nuwa and said, "Father still has the same temper after so many years, okay, then I will do as you want!" A few days later, Suiren's illness was much better, and Shennong was also busy. According to Fuxi's disease, he boiled the herbal medicine he prepared for Suiren to drink. Although the medicine tasted bitter, Suiren looked at Shennong pleasing to the eye, but still I insisted on drinking it. Suiren and Fuxi began to devote themselves to preparing for Kui Kui's wedding.After discussing with Nuwa, Fuxi and Nuwa decided to send Uncle Ji to the Youxiong tribe to bring Fubao, Shaodian and their child Xiaoxuan.Nüwa asked, "Can they come?" Fu Xi said: "I will let them come!" After speaking, he took Ji Bo's hand and went out, giving such and such instructions.Although Bo Ji didn't want to go to have a bear again, he didn't want to disobey his father's wishes, so he had to go out frowning. Fuxi sent Kuafu and Xingtian to the Jiuli tribe to bring Chiyou, Qiuqiu and others back. Of course, the back and forth time in between is several months. Chiyou and Qiuqiu came back and said that the female leader was dead and could not come back.As for Chi You, he has temporarily acted as the headwoman in Jiuli, and will make the final decision after the burning land returns to Jiuli.After hearing this, Suiren asked strangely: "Chi You, who is the burning earth you are talking about?" Chi You looked at Kuafu and Xing Tian and said, "You have been back for so many days, and you haven't told the old man about it?" Kuafu said: "I haven't had time to talk about it, how can I have time? Let me tell you, this burning land is Kui Kui!" Suiren shook his head and said, "Such a long name is too long-winded." Fu Xi said: "I feel the same way. However, this name is very interesting. It tells all the farming work that Kui Kai has done. We once named Kui Kai Jiang Yan in Taihao, because he was in Jiangshui. The one born by Bian is not far from the Jiang’s Cave where we lived in the past. How about this, we also respect the Jiuli people, so how about simplifying the name and calling it Yandi?” Suiren smiled and said, "Okay, Earth means big, and Yan means burning, and the Jiuli people have expressed their thoughts. But after all, Yandi is a person who came out of Jiangshui just like us. He named him Jiang Yan, okay! The name is Jiang Yan, and the name is Yandi." Fu Xi clasped his fists and said, "It's still you who are thoughtful!" Ji Bo did not bring Fu Bao, but brought Shaodian and Xiaoxuan.Fuxi took Xiaoxuan from Shaodian's hand and looked at it for a long time. He kept nodding and asked, "Shaodian, this is the child who was born in two years and five months' gestation when the lightning struck the Beidou center as you said. Is it?" Shaodian nodded. Fuxi handed the child to Nvwa again and said, "Although a person is small, he has a majestic presence!" Nuwa and Mi also took Xiaoxuan over and kissed again and again, tears streaming down their faces.Fu Xi knew that she was missing her daughter Fu Bao. But when Nu Deng saw Shao Dian, resentment appeared in his eyes.Fuxi saw it and called his daughter out.Nü Deng said something to Fu Xi!Fuxi comforted his daughter a few words.Nü Deng avoided Shao Dian and left, making Shao Dian extremely embarrassed. Kuafu and Xing Tian followed Fuxi's words and picked up a women's team and a men's team from nowhere.These people are strangely dressed and neatly dressed.The Fire people thought it was Taihao people, and the Taihao people thought they were Fire people, so there were very few people interested in it. The Suiren also sent Baifu and other leaders from all walks of life to lead the Huofenghuang tribe to build another larger house and courtyard in a wide place for Shennong Jiangyan and Tingxu to live.He also listened to Fuxi's suggestion to build a high platform in the middle of the tribe as a sacrificial platform for the tribe.Jiang Yan said: "There is no need to build another sacrificial platform, there is a Martian platform here that is big enough." So Shennong led his grandfather Fuxi to look at the Mars Terrace. After seeing it, Fuxi nodded frequently and said: "This platform is well built! It is tall and wide. It is really appropriate to commemorate the fire made by drilling wood. This is the first event that affects mankind. A great invention, with its own fire, human beings will have vitality!" After several rounds of selection, they finally decided on Kuafu and Nuzhen as the officiant of Jiang Yan and Tingxu's wedding. Chi You didn't see his father Chi Tian in the Fire Phoenix Tribe, so he asked Shennong Jiang Yan: "Why didn't my father come?". Jiang Yan looked at Nü Deng and said, "Father has a lot of things to deal with in Taihao, so I won't come this time." Chi You didn't think about anything, and he enjoyed playing with Kuafu and Xing Tian every day. As the wedding day approached, all the guests except Fu Bao had arrived.The fire phoenix tribe is really crowded. The fire tribe embroidered a firebird pattern on the linen brought from the Jiuli tribe to make a flag and hang it high on the tree pole.The Taihao people thought it was a good idea, so they asked the Fire people to embroider dragon and tiger patterns to make Taihao's flag, which was also placed in the streets and alleys.Chi You asked Jiang Yan Shennong: "Then we Jiuli people should also make some big flags and plant them!" Jiang Yan said: "You are right!" Chi You asked: "But what kind of pattern can we make as the logo of our Jiuli people?" Jiang Yan thought for a while and said: "Taihao's dragon and tiger, and the fire clan's phoenix bird are all animals. Our totem should also be an animal. The dragon and the tiger enlightened Taihao, so they worship the dragon and the tiger. The fire people worship the phoenix because the phoenix helped the patriarch of the Sui people to invent the method of drilling wood to make fire. What animal has contributed to our Jiuli people? Let's use the cow as our totem, because now the Jiuli people There is already the most advanced farming industry. Jiuli people first invented cattle farming. The cattle are the hardest and most harmonious herbivores in the animal world. He is a good friend with us humans. So we will make a cow Design it!" So Chi You asked some people to make several banners with the pattern of cows, and hung them up high. They were busy here, and Shaodian heard and saw them. Shaodian thought, I came from Youxiong, and our place is also a human tribe, which is similar to Taihao, Huozu, and Jiuli. We should also do a few things Daqi came to represent that we have the Bear Tribe, so he told Jiang Yan this idea. After all, Jiang Yan was his son, so of course he wanted to help him, so he found some Fire Tribe people to help him do the above work. A large flag with a bear pattern was hoisted high.With these flags waving in the wind, the Fire Clan looked extraordinarily majestic and majestic. Not only that, at night, in order to welcome Jiang Yan and Tingyu's marriage ceremony, each household of the Huo tribe lit ten pillars of pine fire, making the whole tribe as bright as day.Fuxi calculated the time, and when the wedding day came, he personally led Jiang Yan, Nuwa, Nvdeng, Ji Bo, Mi and other wedding teams to Suiren's house, and sent the Suiren, Tingxu, Baifu and other wedding teams to the Martian platform for sacrifices. Fuxi pro-manufactured the ceremony, and Kuafu and Ligustrum presided over the ceremony. Kuafu said loudly: "Jiang Yan from Taihao clan and Huofenghuang clan listen to today's wedding ceremony. The officiant and witnesses are all on stage." Fuxi, Nuwa, Suiren, Baifu, Chiyou, Qiuqiu, Xingtian and others all stood on the stage. Kuafu said again: "The newlyweds come to the stage." Jiang Yan and Ting Zi also came to the stage. Privet said: "Now the wedding begins, please stand up for the newlyweds. First, worship the sky; second, worship the earth; third, worship the relatives of both parties; fourth, the two newlyweds worship each other." Jiang Yan and Ting Zi kowtowed to the heaven, the earth, their parents and each other one after another following the voice of privet. Kuafu said: "The wedding speech will be delivered by the officiant." Fu Xi said: "Today my grandson Kui Kui, yes, he has changed his name to Jiang Yan now. Jiang Yan and Ting Xi, the daughter of Chishui of the Huo Fenghuang family, became husband and wife. It was God's will. As early as thirty years ago In the past, Taihao and Huofenghuang belonged to the same family of the Jiang clan and lived together in the cave of Qishan Mountain. Later, because of the fate of God, we went to Chengji and the patriarch of the Suiren came here, and established the Huofenghuang tribe here. We became Ji also established the Taihao Tribe. The two tribes have developed greatly in terms of population, construction, fishing and hunting, and alleys. However, they have not been in touch for a long time. He was able to meet the patriarch of the Suiren by chance on the bank of Jiangshui and mingle with the young and old. Later, when he grew up, he went through several twists and turns and finally found the Huofenghuang tribe. Jiangshui and Weishui belong to the water of the Yellow River, and Taihao Huofenghuang belongs to the Jiang clan. Today there are Isn't it God's will for Jiang Yan to listen to the combination of the two?" Sui Ren said: "Today is a day of great joy and celebration. It is a great joy for Jiang Yan to marry Tingxu from our clan. It is Daqing when the Huo clan and Taihao finally reunite. I have agreed with Taihao patriarch Fuxi that my age He has grown up and can no longer lead the people as an old man, so he decided to pass on the position of the chief of the Huofenghuang tribe to Jiang Yan. The Huofenghuang tribe and the Jiuli tribe will be united into a tribal alliance, and Jiang Yan will be promoted as the chief. Called Emperor Yan, named Shennong, and ruled the people on behalf of the heavens. The people of the Huofenghuang tribe should respect my life, respect the life of Emperor Yan of Shennong, restrain themselves, live in harmony, and create a farming country together." Suiren backed away, Kuafu said: "The Zen position ceremony will be held below." The Suiren raised the artifact Jin Feng high, and then handed it to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan kowtowed to the Suiren first, and then took Jin Feng and said: "The Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Suiren, has gone through untold hardships and worked hard to create the Fire Dragon. The Phoenix tribe, handed over to me today, I feel that it is very important, but now that I have taken over, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and fulfill my mission. The Wanghuo Phoenix tribe and the Jiuli tribe are united with me to create a new era of farming. " Under the high platform, some people cheered and some people sang. Kuafu said: "Let's celebrate. Firstly, Empress Taihao Nuwa will send a ribbon to the Fire Tribe as a wedding certificate." Two people from Taihao brought up a large and beautiful deerskin. Nvwa slashed through the middle with a sharp stone dagger in her hand. The deerskin was divided into two, and half was given to Tingxi and the other half to Jiang Yan. .Nüwa said: "Using Lipi as a gift has always been the etiquette for the marriages of our Taihao people. Now that we have arrived in the Fire Clan, we still use Lipi as a marriage certificate for Jiang Yan and Tingxu. May they live in harmony, Worship the offspring early." Privet said: "Next, Taihao Fuxi's daughter Mi will lead the team to perform the sheng and reed dance "Farewell to Marriage" performed by the patriarch Fuxi." I saw a group of more than 20 women coming to the stage like a breeze. The women all wore white linen robes and held reed musical instruments by their lips, shaking or swinging them.The last one to appear was Mi. She was extremely beautiful. Standing on the stage, she was dignified, quiet and generous, and her gestures were decent.Especially when playing music on stage, it floats around like flowing clouds and flowing water, attracting constant applause from the audience. Shaodian was also standing next to Nuwa on the stage at this time, he had heard Fuxi play this song before, he knew that this song was originally composed by Fuxi for him and Fu Bao, when he listened to it, he didn't feel his heart move, but now he listened to it. Come, but I feel affectionate and meaningful.I don't think there are tears in my eyes.When the music and dance were over, Shaodian was still chanting: "Accompany you, day and night, when will you come back, and take care of you personally." Shao Dian was still thinking, only listening to another group of fire phoenix girls reciting something on the stage, Shao Dian listened carefully, but it was a rhyme: The peach blossoms are shining brightly.When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family.Tao Zhiyaoyao, there is a truth.When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family.Tao Zhiyaoyao, its Ye Zhenzhen.When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family. He Caigexi, I don't see you for a day, it's like March.He Cai Xiaoxi, not seeing each other for a day, is like three autumns.He picks Aixi, and he doesn't see each other for a day, as if he was three years old. Seeing Nuzhen standing beside him, Shaodian asked, "Nuzhen, tell me, what do these rhymes mean?" Privet said: "How stupid, don't you know?" Seeing Shaodian's face blushing, she became embarrassed again, and said: "I also only found out not long ago. You can see that the Manchu peach blossoms in Huofenghuang are all because of Brother Jiang's hard work to find them." Sui Si. The first song is called "Taoyao", which praises the achievements of Shennong, and also says that there is a state of joy when a girl gets married. The second song is called "Caige", which is a song of longing for lovers." Although Shaodian still seems He didn't understand, so he didn't ask any more, just pretended to understand, and nodded again and again. Then the men's team wore animal skins to perform animal catching. They each held wooden sticks and waved them together, either hitting the ground with a crackling sound, or shouting loudly. The night of the fire phoenix is even more spectacular, and the pine fire is as bright as the day.Every household was beaming with joy.The most lively are Kuafu and Baifu.Bai Fu chased Kuafu and shouted: "Kuafu, you mean what you say. If you lose, you won't be my goat rider." Kuafu said: "I didn't lose. Didn't you hear the patriarch of the Suiren say that Jiuli and Huofenghuang first merged into one, and then Taihao will also be under Brother Jiang's control after the patriarch Fuxi returns?" Bai Fu said: "I didn't hear it. And Jiuli has returned to Huofenghuang, it has become a fact, you should be my sheep rider." He jumped up, and before Kuafu could react, he had already landed on the other side. above the shoulders.Kuafu yelled: "Come down, come down." But Bai Fu clamped Kuafu's neck with his legs and said, "Quickly learn how to meow." He shouted: "You let me be a sheep, and when I return to Taihao, I will let you be a cow." Bai Fu said: "The future is uncertain, now you will be my sheep first!" Everyone laughed.Suiren couldn't stop laughing. He pointed at Fuxi and said with a smile: "Fuxi...you are my son...you promise me...you have to count. A gentleman says what he says...never... ...change...change..." He was talking and laughing, and suddenly, his eyes rolled up and he fell backwards.When the crowd gathered around and shouted, Fuxi tried Suiren's nostrils with his hands, and he died. This is really joy and sorrow, hearing the cries of mother and daughter, Jiang Yan and all the people of the Huofenghuang clan joined together, even Fuxi had tears in his eyes, and he prayed silently: "The number of days, the number of days!" Then he loudly advised Everyone said, "Although Suiren left, he suffered from myocardial infarction and his wish was fulfilled. With a smile on his face, everyone should stop crying and prepare for the funeral!" Fuxi and Jiang Yan buried Suiren in a dense forest not far from the Huofenghuang tribe, with his head facing the direction where Jiang Shui was.There are many trees all around here, pines and cypresses equal to the sky.Fuxi folded the tree with his palm and spread the trunk under Suiren's body.Jiang Yan asked the tribe to pick peach blossoms and sprinkle them on the face of Suiren.Now, not far from Shangqiu City, Henan Province, there is a Suihuang Mausoleum two kilometers southwest of the ancient city of Shangqiu, which was built to commemorate the leader Suiren who invented fire by drilling wood.Exactly when the Suihuang Mausoleum was first built is unknown. The original main hall, east and west wing rooms, and stone statues were once surrounded by towering ancient trees and lush greenery, which were later destroyed by war.It was rebuilt in 1992.There is a stone tablet inscribed by the famous archaeologist Yu Weichao on "Suiren's Mausoleum".In Shinto, there are stone statues of Suiren and stone figures such as stone man, stone dragon, stone horse, and stone Qilin.The walls around the mausoleum form a courtyard with evergreen pines and cypresses, which has become a scenic spot for people to visit in ancient times. Fuxi also made a prayer and read: "My father Suiren drilled wood to make fire, and left fire seeds for generations of mankind. Although fire is born in nature, it can be born and die. Although fire is harmful, it can be harmful to human beings." There are also countless benefits. Fire can keep humans warm, and fire turns the raw food eaten by humans into cooked food, which eliminates the fishy smell in meat, and ends an era of drinking blood. Humans use fire to drive away wild animals and ensure the safety of human beings. Survive safely. Later generations used fire to burn clay pottery, which added a lot of utensils to human beings, and slash-and-burn farming, which added a lot of food to human beings. Fire has benefited all living beings. Suiren should be respected as the ancestor of human fire. Enjoy the blessings of human fireworks forever. In addition, my father, Suiren, also created the Fire Phoenix family, and took in many savages to become human beings, creating earth-shattering events. Tonghui, forever in the world." Shennong Jiang Yan also prayed: "Suiren is a great virtue, he drilled wood to make fire, left the first kind of fire in the world, and saved mankind from darkness and smell. Leading the people of Jiang's Qishan away from the cave, created the Suiming tribe. , its virtues and kindness, will always be remembered in mankind.” The legend about Suiren’s drilling wood to make fire is as follows: It is said that 10,000 years ago, there was the Suiming Kingdom, who didn’t know the four o’clock, day and night.The state-owned flint wood, also known as the fire tree, stretches across an expanse of hectares, and clouds and mist come out of it.There is a bird like an owl, which pecks the flint wood with its beak and emits fire.A sage was inspired to break off flint branches and drill wood to make fire. This person is the Suiren family. Later generations commented on Suirenshi like this: According to "Han Feizi·Five Beetles" records: "In the ancient world, there were few people but many beasts, and the people were invincible to beasts, insects and snakes;...the people ate fruits, mussels and clams, which hurt the stomach and stomach due to the stench, and there were many diseases. There are sages who did it. Drill the flint to make fire, to dispel the fishy smell, and the people say (pleasure) it, so that they can rule the world and call it the Suiren clan." "Corpse Cloud": "Suiren looked up at the stars, and looked down at five trees for fire." "Supplements of Relics" says: "There is a big tree named Sui in Suiming country, and it has a huge area of 10,000 hectares. Later, there was a sage who traveled to his country. There were birds pecking the tree and sparkling fire. The sage was impressed. Because he drilled fire with twigs, he was named Suiren." "Ancient History Research" says: "At the beginning of the ancient times, people sucked dew essence, ate grass and wood, lived in mountains, ate birds and animals, and wore their feathers and skins, and near water, ate fish, turtles, clams and clams. So a sage came out, made a fire with a virtuous king, made a drill to produce fire, taught people how to cook food, cast gold to make a knife, and the people were very happy, so they called it the "Suiren." Yun: "The Suiren clan taught people how to eat with guns, drill wood to make fire, have a platform for preaching, and have a government for knotting ropes." The "Chinese History Draft" edited by the famous historian Mr. Guo Moruo said: "The invention of artificial fire undoubtedly played a very important role in the life of ancient human beings, and it has attracted great attention from later generations... Such legends are certainly mixed with The life content of the descendants is covered with a cloak of mystery, but it still reflects the simple historical background of human life in ancient times." Mr. Zhao Puchu once wrote a poem: "It is very professional for people to make fire, and the world will be renewed day by day." Engels once said: "As far as the liberation of the world is concerned, frictional fire still surpasses the steam engine. Because frictional fire made man dominate a natural force for the first time, and thus finally separated from the animal kingdom." The invention of artificial fire ended the era of human beings who drank blood and created an era of human civilization.Therefore, Suiren has always been worshiped by people, and he is respected as one of the three emperors and regarded as the "fire ancestor".The invention of the technique of drilling wood to make fire should be the greatest invention of human beings in ancient times, and it is the symbol of the beginning of human civilization!
Under the leadership of Bai Fu, ten people including Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, Jibo, Tingxu, Nvdeng, Kuafu, Nuzhen, Xingtian, and Mi came to the Fire Phoenix tribe smoothly, and Fuxi and Suiren finally got to know each other. See.These two people who used to be quarreling and disagreeing in the Jiangshui cave no longer felt like they were fighting for skills and wits like before.Fuxi first came to hold Suiren's hand, and called "Brother Suiren", which made Suiren stunned.Suiren asked Fuxi, "Why do you call me brother? Didn't your mother Hua Xu tell you?" Fu Xi was also stunned after hearing this, and he asked, "What did my mother Hua Xu tell me?" Sui Ren said: "Didn't she tell you that I am your father?" Fuxi was even more surprised. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "What? You are my father?" Nuwa was also surprised, and both her and Fuxi's eyes widened. Fuxi looked at the Suiren and asked: "What's the matter? Wasn't I born by my mother's footprints? I heard before that I was conceived by my mother's footprints after a rainbow circled her body. After thirteen years, I was born. child!" Suiren frowned and said, "Where are there so many adults in this world? Even if there were, it would be very difficult to meet them! Those ancient adults mentioned by the ancestors are all extinct!" Fu Xi shook his head and said: "No, some adults still exist, and Xiao Kuikai is the successor of the adults!" Suiren looked at Shennong and said, "He's not small, but the adults I've heard before are much taller than him!" Fuxi smiled and said: "I have also met some adults, no, they should be called giants. They all suffered from the great flood. They left me three children, and Kui Kai's father Shaodian is one of them .” It was Suiren's turn to be surprised, and he asked, "Have you really met your lord? What's going on?" Fuxi told the story of meeting an adult on a higher mountain not far from Kunlun Mountain, and also told the story of meeting a giant on Mount Tai in the east, and said: "Since then , I really thought I was a child who was born in the footsteps of an adult! Moreover, I found a few pictures left by that giant on Mount Tai. In one picture, it was recorded that this giant met by a lake. As for a girl, I always thought that I was his son!" After hearing this, Suiren shook his head and said, "No, you should be my son! It's been too long since I said it. To put it simply, I wasn't from Qishan Jiangshui Cave before. , we are a group of people who came out to find a place to live, because we also encountered a rare flood there, and the rest of the people were washed away by the water. I led the rest of the people to the high place and left After a long time, I came to the land of Mount Qi, and met your mother Hua Xu who went out to collect fruits, and two other women from the Jiangshui tribe. I think they should be Xuan Jiang and Aunt Qiang! They led us to In the Jiangshui cave, the patriarch took us in. And this time, I heard about your mother walking around in a rainbow! At that time, the old patriarch of Jiangshui also believed your mother Hua Xu's words, and did not Let the tribe touch her again, and let me protect her! I once asked your mother, Hua Xu, if she met some adult? But your mother shook her head and said, how could I meet an adult? I don’t want to go to that She mates with other foreigners in the copulation hole, so she made up this lie. She also said that she fell in love with me and only wanted to be with me alone! From that time until your mother gave birth to you, there was only me With your mother. Come to think of it, whose son are you if you are not mine?" Fuxi fell into deep thought.If he hadn't seen the giant himself, maybe he would have believed Suiren's words easily.But on Mount Tai in the east, he saw the face of the giant with his own eyes, and at the same time saw the picture left by the giant.The combination of these two is enough to convince him that he is the descendant of that giant.However, what Suiren said was not unreasonable, after all, he had been with his mother all along.When my mother was alive, the way she looked at Suiren was different from the way she looked at other people.And it is very possible that he is the son of Suiren.Thinking of this, Fuxi asked: "Am I really not a descendant of giants! Then what my mother said before was all false?" Sui Ren said: "The reason why your mother didn't tell you the truth is because she hated me for not going with you to Chengji! Think about it with Nu Wa, how could this woman who walks on the road of people and surrounded by rainbows get pregnant? Then It was a beautiful lie that Hua Xu and I made up to ensure the purity of the species and that you were the first child with a father! You may know that at that time, the tribe practiced group intercourse, and girls reached a certain age Go to a fixed copulation hole and have group mating with non-native men in the copulation hole, sometimes one man, sometimes many men. A woman who is especially beautiful like your mother will definitely meet Many foreign men wanted to mate with her. At that time, she had a very good relationship with the old patriarch, and the old patriarch knew how she felt. She was afraid of going to the copulation hole, and she was afraid of those men. At that time, she and I had been in a relationship In the midst of a passionate relationship, she told me her thoughts, and we came up with this strategy based on her past experience. The group intercourse system at that time was not focused on the emotional integration between men and women, but It is an early continuation and spread of the species. Once a woman is pregnant, she will no longer allow men to get close. We have heard that the time to conceive is longer than that of normal people, so this statement can make I had plenty of time to get in touch with your mother, Hua Xu. But we were also very unfortunate. We waited for thirteen years to have you, but at that time, the tribe had a new patriarch, and this patriarch fell in love with me. You also understood your mother and I's plan, so we were separated alive." Nuwa listened, and suddenly asked: "Then, am I born to you and my mother?" Suiren shook his head and said: "No, because since your mother gave birth to Fuxi, the new patriarch no longer let me have contact with your mother, and your mother was also forcibly taken into the coital cave. Who is your father? , I'm afraid your mother doesn't know either!" Nuwa's expression darkened suddenly, she looked at Fuxi and said, "I can't catch up with you, you have a father, but I don't." After she finished speaking, tears appeared in her eyes. Suiren looked at Nuwa and said, "Son, it's not your fault, nor your mother's. That's what a matrilineal society is like! For the offspring born of group sex between a woman and a man, they can only know who the mother is, and who is the father?" Who, I'm afraid your mother doesn't know either! Fuxi is the most special person that appeared in the Jiangshui cave, only he has a father. But in Jiangshui, I didn't dare to tell him, and I didn't tell him until today!" Fuxi thought about it, and suddenly knelt down in front of Suiren and said, "Father, since you know you are my father, why didn't you go with us when Nuwa and I founded a new tribe in Chengji?" Suiren also had tears in his eyes and said: "This is the one thing I regret most in my life. I am not afraid of your jokes if I say it. I feel ashamed to be your father! The new patriarch treats me Very good, she has a few daughters, let me take care of them. I am not a member of the Jiang family, and I was also a strong man with a very good body... I can see that your mother hated me very much at that time, So when I went to Chengji to send fire to you, she ignored me! I knew that I could only leave her forever, and I would have no face to see her again!" Fu Xi's eyes were filled with tears.He grabbed Suiren's hand and said: "Later, the flood flooded the Jiangshui people. My mother thought you were dead too. She regretted it very much. She said, why didn't she go out that day, why didn't she go out that day?" How about keeping you?" Sui Ren said: "It's our Jiangshui people who live in the sky, and we have the Chengji and Huofenghuang tribes! By the way, why didn't your mother come? Is she okay now?" Fuxi wiped away his tears and said after a long time: "Afterwards, the earth shook and most of Chengji's houses collapsed. My mother was very unfortunate. She didn't come out, and we will never see her again." After hearing this, Suiren couldn't help crying.Calculated according to the current age, the Suiren at that time was also an old man in his eighties. This is an old man who has experienced countless hardships in his life and has already seen through life and death. His tears and his nose merged together. A long sticky strip was pulled up under the chin. It's better to listen to the eyes and wipe them gently with a piece of sackcloth for the old man.Fu Xi looked at Ting Xi very moved. Suiren wept for a while, and then asked: "I don't understand something, Fuxi, you and Nuwa are brothers and sisters born to the same mother. How can you two get married and have children? This is not allowed by the Jiang tribe." Yes! This is of no benefit to future generations!" After the Suiren finished speaking, the old people looked at them one by one, and said after reading: "I heard from Kui Kai that you have three men and three women, are they all good? Let me see! Now that you are old, My eyes are not working well either!" Nuwa looked at Fuxi, and tears also flowed in her eyes.Fuxi forced a smile on his face, and while telling Suiren about the experience of his marriage with Nuwa, he pulled Nu Deng, Ji Bo, and Mi closer to introduce them to Suiren for them to watch.This time Shaoyu and Bogao didn't bring them, Nuwa asked them two brothers to look after the Taihao tribe.After Suiren heard this, he was also moved by Fuxi and Nuwa's spirit of sacrificing themselves for the continuation of mankind, and at the same time regretted that he did not bring people to Chengji. After looking at the children of Fuxi and Nuwa, Suiren held their hands and kept saying "yes", saying: "In the world, your Fuxi is a dragon, and your Taihao is not a dragon." Is it a tribe? And Nuwa is a tiger! Didn’t she often ride a tiger and herd sheep? You two are a real combination of dragon and tiger! Seeing that all of your children have such dragon tendons and tiger eyes, I am relieved gone." When Suiren saw Mi, he stopped to look at Mi for a long time, and said to Nüwa, "This child looks too much like your grandmother Hua Xu in the cave. What's his name?" Mi said, "Mi." The Suiren said, "What? Mi?" Fuxi said: "Yes, among the three daughters, she is the youngest daughter I love the most." Suiren said again, "Good!", and coughed again and again.Fuxi knew that Suiren was still ill, he looked at Suiren's face, wrapped his arms around him hurriedly and said, "Don't move, father, don't move, look at your body, you must be feeling uncomfortable. Seeing you standing up and lying down, it must be that the joints are affected by the cold, I have brought nine needles, I guess I can cure your pain, we will talk as we go." After Fuxi finished speaking, he laid the Suiren flat, took out nine needles from the pouch, found the relevant acupuncture points, and inserted them lightly with the stone needles.Suiren looked at Fuxi, then at Tingxu and Shennong and said, "It's been too long since we parted. I sent little Kuikui and Tingxu away a while ago, and I haven't returned for a long time. I thought I would never see them again. I didn't expect you and Nuwa to be able to send them back, it's really great." Nuwa took out the corrugated leather coat she made and said, "This is a dowry gift from Fuxi and I. I heard that this child is not bad, and he agrees with Kui Kui. I heard that you also have the same intention. We recognize you, but if Hired Tingxu, is it true that you are getting married again! But I need to ask you one more thing, is Tingxu really your great-granddaughter?" Suiren knew what Nuwa was asking, so he held Nuwa's hand and said, "No! I didn't tell Kui Kui before, but I picked up Tingxu and her mother, according to Tingxu's mother. Ah, they were originally born in Chishui, I met them when I was out on a trip, and at that time the little cymbals were only so long, and they couldn’t walk yet.” Suiren said, and made gestures with his hands. I feel a little embarrassed to hear that. Suiren continued: "I thought they were very pitiful at that time, so I brought them back. Now it has been more than ten years, and Tingxu has grown into a big child. I have always treated them as relatives what!" After hearing this, Nuwa let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if there is no real blood relationship! I won't bother you to take care of her from now on, she will be our Taihao's person from now on." Sui Ren said: "I understand what you said. In fact, when I first met Kui Kai, I had this kind of thought! That's why I let her follow Kui Kai to travel all over the world! I had intended it a long time ago, but, The marriage ceremony will be held in my Fire Phoenix Tribe, so I can't go to your Taihao!" Fuxi smiled, looked at Nuwa and said, "Father still has the same temper after so many years, okay, then I will do as you want!" A few days later, Suiren's illness was much better, and Shennong was also busy. According to Fuxi's disease, he boiled the herbal medicine he prepared for Suiren to drink. Although the medicine tasted bitter, Suiren looked at Shennong pleasing to the eye, but still I insisted on drinking it. Suiren and Fuxi began to devote themselves to preparing for Kui Kui's wedding.After discussing with Nuwa, Fuxi and Nuwa decided to send Uncle Ji to the Youxiong tribe to bring Fubao, Shaodian and their child Xiaoxuan.Nüwa asked, "Can they come?" Fu Xi said: "I will let them come!" After speaking, he took Ji Bo's hand and went out, giving such and such instructions.Although Bo Ji didn't want to go to have a bear again, he didn't want to disobey his father's wishes, so he had to go out frowning. Fuxi sent Kuafu and Xingtian to the Jiuli tribe to bring Chiyou, Qiuqiu and others back. Of course, the back and forth time in between is several months. Chiyou and Qiuqiu came back and said that the female leader was dead and could not come back.As for Chi You, he has temporarily acted as the headwoman in Jiuli, and will make the final decision after the burning land returns to Jiuli.After hearing this, Suiren asked strangely: "Chi You, who is the burning earth you are talking about?" Chi You looked at Kuafu and Xing Tian and said, "You have been back for so many days, and you haven't told the old man about it?" Kuafu said: "I haven't had time to talk about it, how can I have time? Let me tell you, this burning land is Kui Kui!" Suiren shook his head and said, "Such a long name is too long-winded." Fu Xi said: "I feel the same way. However, this name is very interesting. It tells all the farming work that Kui Kai has done. We once named Kui Kai Jiang Yan in Taihao, because he was in Jiangshui. The one born by Bian is not far from the Jiang’s Cave where we lived in the past. How about this, we also respect the Jiuli people, so how about simplifying the name and calling it Yandi?” Suiren smiled and said, "Okay, Earth means big, and Yan means burning, and the Jiuli people have expressed their thoughts. But after all, Yandi is a person who came out of Jiangshui just like us. He named him Jiang Yan, okay! The name is Jiang Yan, and the name is Yandi." Fu Xi clasped his fists and said, "It's still you who are thoughtful!" Ji Bo did not bring Fu Bao, but brought Shaodian and Xiaoxuan.Fuxi took Xiaoxuan from Shaodian's hand and looked at it for a long time. He kept nodding and asked, "Shaodian, this is the child who was born in two years and five months' gestation when the lightning struck the Beidou center as you said. Is it?" Shaodian nodded. Fuxi handed the child to Nvwa again and said, "Although a person is small, he has a majestic presence!" Nuwa and Mi also took Xiaoxuan over and kissed again and again, tears streaming down their faces.Fu Xi knew that she was missing her daughter Fu Bao. But when Nu Deng saw Shao Dian, resentment appeared in his eyes.Fuxi saw it and called his daughter out.Nü Deng said something to Fu Xi!Fuxi comforted his daughter a few words.Nü Deng avoided Shao Dian and left, making Shao Dian extremely embarrassed. Kuafu and Xing Tian followed Fuxi's words and picked up a women's team and a men's team from nowhere.These people are strangely dressed and neatly dressed.The Fire people thought it was Taihao people, and the Taihao people thought they were Fire people, so there were very few people interested in it. The Suiren also sent Baifu and other leaders from all walks of life to lead the Huofenghuang tribe to build another larger house and courtyard in a wide place for Shennong Jiangyan and Tingxu to live.He also listened to Fuxi's suggestion to build a high platform in the middle of the tribe as a sacrificial platform for the tribe.Jiang Yan said: "There is no need to build another sacrificial platform, there is a Martian platform here that is big enough." So Shennong led his grandfather Fuxi to look at the Mars Terrace. After seeing it, Fuxi nodded frequently and said: "This platform is well built! It is tall and wide. It is really appropriate to commemorate the fire made by drilling wood. This is the first event that affects mankind. A great invention, with its own fire, human beings will have vitality!" After several rounds of selection, they finally decided on Kuafu and Nuzhen as the officiant of Jiang Yan and Tingxu's wedding. Chi You didn't see his father Chi Tian in the Fire Phoenix Tribe, so he asked Shennong Jiang Yan: "Why didn't my father come?". Jiang Yan looked at Nü Deng and said, "Father has a lot of things to deal with in Taihao, so I won't come this time." Chi You didn't think about anything, and he enjoyed playing with Kuafu and Xing Tian every day. As the wedding day approached, all the guests except Fu Bao had arrived.The fire phoenix tribe is really crowded. The fire tribe embroidered a firebird pattern on the linen brought from the Jiuli tribe to make a flag and hang it high on the tree pole.The Taihao people thought it was a good idea, so they asked the Fire people to embroider dragon and tiger patterns to make Taihao's flag, which was also placed in the streets and alleys.Chi You asked Jiang Yan Shennong: "Then we Jiuli people should also make some big flags and plant them!" Jiang Yan said: "You are right!" Chi You asked: "But what kind of pattern can we make as the logo of our Jiuli people?" Jiang Yan thought for a while and said: "Taihao's dragon and tiger, and the fire clan's phoenix bird are all animals. Our totem should also be an animal. The dragon and the tiger enlightened Taihao, so they worship the dragon and the tiger. The fire people worship the phoenix because the phoenix helped the patriarch of the Sui people to invent the method of drilling wood to make fire. What animal has contributed to our Jiuli people? Let's use the cow as our totem, because now the Jiuli people There is already the most advanced farming industry. Jiuli people first invented cattle farming. The cattle are the hardest and most harmonious herbivores in the animal world. He is a good friend with us humans. So we will make a cow Design it!" So Chi You asked some people to make several banners with the pattern of cows, and hung them up high. They were busy here, and Shaodian heard and saw them. Shaodian thought, I came from Youxiong, and our place is also a human tribe, which is similar to Taihao, Huozu, and Jiuli. We should also do a few things Daqi came to represent that we have the Bear Tribe, so he told Jiang Yan this idea. After all, Jiang Yan was his son, so of course he wanted to help him, so he found some Fire Tribe people to help him do the above work. A large flag with a bear pattern was hoisted high.With these flags waving in the wind, the Fire Clan looked extraordinarily majestic and majestic. Not only that, at night, in order to welcome Jiang Yan and Tingyu's marriage ceremony, each household of the Huo tribe lit ten pillars of pine fire, making the whole tribe as bright as day.Fuxi calculated the time, and when the wedding day came, he personally led Jiang Yan, Nuwa, Nvdeng, Ji Bo, Mi and other wedding teams to Suiren's house, and sent the Suiren, Tingxu, Baifu and other wedding teams to the Martian platform for sacrifices. Fuxi pro-manufactured the ceremony, and Kuafu and Ligustrum presided over the ceremony. Kuafu said loudly: "Jiang Yan from Taihao clan and Huofenghuang clan listen to today's wedding ceremony. The officiant and witnesses are all on stage." Fuxi, Nuwa, Suiren, Baifu, Chiyou, Qiuqiu, Xingtian and others all stood on the stage. Kuafu said again: "The newlyweds come to the stage." Jiang Yan and Ting Zi also came to the stage. Privet said: "Now the wedding begins, please stand up for the newlyweds. First, worship the sky; second, worship the earth; third, worship the relatives of both parties; fourth, the two newlyweds worship each other." Jiang Yan and Ting Zi kowtowed to the heaven, the earth, their parents and each other one after another following the voice of privet. Kuafu said: "The wedding speech will be delivered by the officiant." Fu Xi said: "Today my grandson Kui Kui, yes, he has changed his name to Jiang Yan now. Jiang Yan and Ting Xi, the daughter of Chishui of the Huo Fenghuang family, became husband and wife. It was God's will. As early as thirty years ago In the past, Taihao and Huofenghuang belonged to the same family of the Jiang clan and lived together in the cave of Qishan Mountain. Later, because of the fate of God, we went to Chengji and the patriarch of the Suiren came here, and established the Huofenghuang tribe here. We became Ji also established the Taihao Tribe. The two tribes have developed greatly in terms of population, construction, fishing and hunting, and alleys. However, they have not been in touch for a long time. He was able to meet the patriarch of the Suiren by chance on the bank of Jiangshui and mingle with the young and old. Later, when he grew up, he went through several twists and turns and finally found the Huofenghuang tribe. Jiangshui and Weishui belong to the water of the Yellow River, and Taihao Huofenghuang belongs to the Jiang clan. Today there are Isn't it God's will for Jiang Yan to listen to the combination of the two?" Sui Ren said: "Today is a day of great joy and celebration. It is a great joy for Jiang Yan to marry Tingxu from our clan. It is Daqing when the Huo clan and Taihao finally reunite. I have agreed with Taihao patriarch Fuxi that my age He has grown up and can no longer lead the people as an old man, so he decided to pass on the position of the chief of the Huofenghuang tribe to Jiang Yan. The Huofenghuang tribe and the Jiuli tribe will be united into a tribal alliance, and Jiang Yan will be promoted as the chief. Called Emperor Yan, named Shennong, and ruled the people on behalf of the heavens. The people of the Huofenghuang tribe should respect my life, respect the life of Emperor Yan of Shennong, restrain themselves, live in harmony, and create a farming country together." Suiren backed away, Kuafu said: "The Zen position ceremony will be held below." The Suiren raised the artifact Jin Feng high, and then handed it to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan kowtowed to the Suiren first, and then took Jin Feng and said: "The Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Suiren, has gone through untold hardships and worked hard to create the Fire Dragon. The Phoenix tribe, handed over to me today, I feel that it is very important, but now that I have taken over, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and fulfill my mission. The Wanghuo Phoenix tribe and the Jiuli tribe are united with me to create a new era of farming. " Under the high platform, some people cheered and some people sang. Kuafu said: "Let's celebrate. Firstly, Empress Taihao Nuwa will send a ribbon to the Fire Tribe as a wedding certificate." Two people from Taihao brought up a large and beautiful deerskin. Nvwa slashed through the middle with a sharp stone dagger in her hand. The deerskin was divided into two, and half was given to Tingxi and the other half to Jiang Yan. .Nüwa said: "Using Lipi as a gift has always been the etiquette for the marriages of our Taihao people. Now that we have arrived in the Fire Clan, we still use Lipi as a marriage certificate for Jiang Yan and Tingxu. May they live in harmony, Worship the offspring early." Privet said: "Next, Taihao Fuxi's daughter Mi will lead the team to perform the sheng and reed dance "Farewell to Marriage" performed by the patriarch Fuxi." I saw a group of more than 20 women coming to the stage like a breeze. The women all wore white linen robes and held reed musical instruments by their lips, shaking or swinging them.The last one to appear was Mi. She was extremely beautiful. Standing on the stage, she was dignified, quiet and generous, and her gestures were decent.Especially when playing music on stage, it floats around like flowing clouds and flowing water, attracting constant applause from the audience. Shaodian was also standing next to Nuwa on the stage at this time, he had heard Fuxi play this song before, he knew that this song was originally composed by Fuxi for him and Fu Bao, when he listened to it, he didn't feel his heart move, but now he listened to it. Come, but I feel affectionate and meaningful.I don't think there are tears in my eyes.When the music and dance were over, Shaodian was still chanting: "Accompany you, day and night, when will you come back, and take care of you personally." Shao Dian was still thinking, only listening to another group of fire phoenix girls reciting something on the stage, Shao Dian listened carefully, but it was a rhyme: The peach blossoms are shining brightly.When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family.Tao Zhiyaoyao, there is a truth.When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family.Tao Zhiyaoyao, its Ye Zhenzhen.When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family. He Caigexi, I don't see you for a day, it's like March.He Cai Xiaoxi, not seeing each other for a day, is like three autumns.He picks Aixi, and he doesn't see each other for a day, as if he was three years old. Seeing Nuzhen standing beside him, Shaodian asked, "Nuzhen, tell me, what do these rhymes mean?" Privet said: "How stupid, don't you know?" Seeing Shaodian's face blushing, she became embarrassed again, and said: "I also only found out not long ago. You can see that the Manchu peach blossoms in Huofenghuang are all because of Brother Jiang's hard work to find them." Sui Si. The first song is called "Taoyao", which praises the achievements of Shennong, and also says that there is a state of joy when a girl gets married. The second song is called "Caige", which is a song of longing for lovers." Although Shaodian still seems He didn't understand, so he didn't ask any more, just pretended to understand, and nodded again and again. Then the men's team wore animal skins to perform animal catching. They each held wooden sticks and waved them together, either hitting the ground with a crackling sound, or shouting loudly. The night of the fire phoenix is even more spectacular, and the pine fire is as bright as the day.Every household was beaming with joy.The most lively are Kuafu and Baifu.Bai Fu chased Kuafu and shouted: "Kuafu, you mean what you say. If you lose, you won't be my goat rider." Kuafu said: "I didn't lose. Didn't you hear the patriarch of the Suiren say that Jiuli and Huofenghuang first merged into one, and then Taihao will also be under Brother Jiang's control after the patriarch Fuxi returns?" Bai Fu said: "I didn't hear it. And Jiuli has returned to Huofenghuang, it has become a fact, you should be my sheep rider." He jumped up, and before Kuafu could react, he had already landed on the other side. above the shoulders.Kuafu yelled: "Come down, come down." But Bai Fu clamped Kuafu's neck with his legs and said, "Quickly learn how to meow." He shouted: "You let me be a sheep, and when I return to Taihao, I will let you be a cow." Bai Fu said: "The future is uncertain, now you will be my sheep first!" Everyone laughed.Suiren couldn't stop laughing. He pointed at Fuxi and said with a smile: "Fuxi...you are my son...you promise me...you have to count. A gentleman says what he says...never... ...change...change..." He was talking and laughing, and suddenly, his eyes rolled up and he fell backwards.When the crowd gathered around and shouted, Fuxi tried Suiren's nostrils with his hands, and he died. This is really joy and sorrow, hearing the cries of mother and daughter, Jiang Yan and all the people of the Huofenghuang clan joined together, even Fuxi had tears in his eyes, and he prayed silently: "The number of days, the number of days!" Then he loudly advised Everyone said, "Although Suiren left, he suffered from myocardial infarction and his wish was fulfilled. With a smile on his face, everyone should stop crying and prepare for the funeral!" Fuxi and Jiang Yan buried Suiren in a dense forest not far from the Huofenghuang tribe, with his head facing the direction where Jiang Shui was.There are many trees all around here, pines and cypresses equal to the sky.Fuxi folded the tree with his palm and spread the trunk under Suiren's body.Jiang Yan asked the tribe to pick peach blossoms and sprinkle them on the face of Suiren.Now, not far from Shangqiu City, Henan Province, there is a Suihuang Mausoleum two kilometers southwest of the ancient city of Shangqiu, which was built to commemorate the leader Suiren who invented fire by drilling wood.Exactly when the Suihuang Mausoleum was first built is unknown. The original main hall, east and west wing rooms, and stone statues were once surrounded by towering ancient trees and lush greenery, which were later destroyed by war.It was rebuilt in 1992.There is a stone tablet inscribed by the famous archaeologist Yu Weichao on "Suiren's Mausoleum".In Shinto, there are stone statues of Suiren and stone figures such as stone man, stone dragon, stone horse, and stone Qilin.The walls around the mausoleum form a courtyard with evergreen pines and cypresses, which has become a scenic spot for people to visit in ancient times. Fuxi also made a prayer and read: "My father Suiren drilled wood to make fire, and left fire seeds for generations of mankind. Although fire is born in nature, it can be born and die. Although fire is harmful, it can be harmful to human beings." There are also countless benefits. Fire can keep humans warm, and fire turns the raw food eaten by humans into cooked food, which eliminates the fishy smell in meat, and ends an era of drinking blood. Humans use fire to drive away wild animals and ensure the safety of human beings. Survive safely. Later generations used fire to burn clay pottery, which added a lot of utensils to human beings, and slash-and-burn farming, which added a lot of food to human beings. Fire has benefited all living beings. Suiren should be respected as the ancestor of human fire. Enjoy the blessings of human fireworks forever. In addition, my father, Suiren, also created the Fire Phoenix family, and took in many savages to become human beings, creating earth-shattering events. Tonghui, forever in the world." Shennong Jiang Yan also prayed: "Suiren is a great virtue, he drilled wood to make fire, left the first kind of fire in the world, and saved mankind from darkness and smell. Leading the people of Jiang's Qishan away from the cave, created the Suiming tribe. , its virtues and kindness, will always be remembered in mankind.” The legend about Suiren’s drilling wood to make fire is as follows: It is said that 10,000 years ago, there was the Suiming Kingdom, who didn’t know the four o’clock, day and night.The state-owned flint wood, also known as the fire tree, stretches across an expanse of hectares, and clouds and mist come out of it.There is a bird like an owl, which pecks the flint wood with its beak and emits fire.A sage was inspired to break off flint branches and drill wood to make fire. This person is the Suiren family. Later generations commented on Suirenshi like this: According to "Han Feizi·Five Beetles" records: "In the ancient world, there were few people but many beasts, and the people were invincible to beasts, insects and snakes;...the people ate fruits, mussels and clams, which hurt the stomach and stomach due to the stench, and there were many diseases. There are sages who did it. Drill the flint to make fire, to dispel the fishy smell, and the people say (pleasure) it, so that they can rule the world and call it the Suiren clan." "Corpse Cloud": "Suiren looked up at the stars, and looked down at five trees for fire." "Supplements of Relics" says: "There is a big tree named Sui in Suiming country, and it has a huge area of 10,000 hectares. Later, there was a sage who traveled to his country. There were birds pecking the tree and sparkling fire. The sage was impressed. Because he drilled fire with twigs, he was named Suiren." "Ancient History Research" says: "At the beginning of the ancient times, people sucked dew essence, ate grass and wood, lived in mountains, ate birds and animals, and wore their feathers and skins, and near water, ate fish, turtles, clams and clams. So a sage came out, made a fire with a virtuous king, made a drill to produce fire, taught people how to cook food, cast gold to make a knife, and the people were very happy, so they called it the "Suiren." Yun: "The Suiren clan taught people how to eat with guns, drill wood to make fire, have a platform for preaching, and have a government for knotting ropes." The "Chinese History Draft" edited by the famous historian Mr. Guo Moruo said: "The invention of artificial fire undoubtedly played a very important role in the life of ancient human beings, and it has attracted great attention from later generations... Such legends are certainly mixed with The life content of the descendants is covered with a cloak of mystery, but it still reflects the simple historical background of human life in ancient times." Mr. Zhao Puchu once wrote a poem: "It is very professional for people to make fire, and the world will be renewed day by day." Engels once said: "As far as the liberation of the world is concerned, frictional fire still surpasses the steam engine. Because frictional fire made man dominate a natural force for the first time, and thus finally separated from the animal kingdom." The invention of artificial fire ended the era of human beings who drank blood and created an era of human civilization.Therefore, Suiren has always been worshiped by people, and he is respected as one of the three emperors and regarded as the "fire ancestor".The invention of the technique of drilling wood to make fire should be the greatest invention of human beings in ancient times, and it is the symbol of the beginning of human civilization!
