Chapter 18 Six, five o'clock in the morning

The most popular person at the bonfire party is undoubtedly the sheepman Fuxi. This is not surprising.The master at the primitive ball has always been a man.Because even in the early days of patrilineal clan society, the right to choose a spouse was still with women.No matter how good a man is, he can't force it, he can only win his heart with his outstanding performance.Singing and dancing are undoubtedly one of the effective ways. Therefore, on the pottery pots unearthed in Sunjiazhai, the dancers are all men.The so-called ornaments raised high are actually phalluses.Of course, it won't be the real guy, it can only be a substitute.


Enlarged picture of dancing figures unearthed in Sunjiazhai.
The pottery basin unearthed in Sunjiazhai belongs to the Majiayao type in archaeology.The same type of painted pottery decorations, the most prominent is a large number of frog patterns and tadpole patterns.It can be seen that this dance is from the Nuwa era.Those dancers who hold hands should be birdmen and snakemen who show off their skills and courtship like peacocks spreading their tails.The programs they performed were either "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" or "Dancing of the Golden Snake". The sheep people in Fuxi's era were much cooler.

First of all he is "wrist".He has the final say on the major decisions of the clan.Secondly, he is "payment".He also has the final say on the clan's financial budget.The third is "father".The name of the new member of the clan is also up to him.These are also the three major manifestations of matriarchy becoming patrilineal. At this time, men are making progress every day, and their courtship is also full of confidence. Of course, there are several kinds of sheep people.If he is "虚", he is a hunter and will be admired by girls; if he is "righteousness", he is a priest and will be admired by girls; if he is "beautiful", he is an adult and will be admired by girls .


"Beauty" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions (1269).

Bronze inscription "beauty" (Grand Mercure).
(Beauty, since Xu Shen, has always been interpreted as "sheep big", that is, "beauty is like a sheep". Later, Mr. Xiao Bing pointed out that it should be "sheep people are beautiful". Xiao said yes. It is not difficult to see from the shape of the characters, beauty, the above It is a "sheep", and below it is a "person" standing frontally, that is, "adult", that is, "the man with the crown of sheep", which is one of the images of Fuxi.)

If he is "Xi"? Ha, that's the lover of the masses. I don't know how many ladies are full of love, and they are willing to promise each other with their bodies. Why is Xi the most attractive? Because only Xi is a "snake in sheep's clothing".There is only Xi, who has both the warm meaty aroma and the cold murderous aura.That's right, righteousness, there are sheep and I (weapon).But after righteousness becomes "one's own prestige", both aspects are much weaker. How can it be compared with Xi, who combines hardness and softness, which is meaningful and has a bright future.

Please see history. As mentioned earlier, Eve's revolutionary achievement is standing upright naked, and Nuwa's cultural achievement is reproductive worship.Reproductive worship cannot be called "sex worship", because the purpose is to have children, not love between men and women.But this by no means means going back to before Eve.On the contrary, reproductive worship is the transformation of unique human sexuality from a purely natural life into a controllable culture.Only in this way can Fuxi take over the banner of Nuwa and put his own brand on it. Fuxi's brand is that men are in power.

Once men take power, reproductive worship will turn into totem worship, a motherly love society will become a patriarchal society, and a lurking snake will become a flying dragon. This is the eve of the tribal age.In the long years before that, it has the "three representatives" in myths and legends - Eve represents the primitive group, which means "from ape to man", and the image is shown as a naked ape; Nuwa represents the matrilineal clan, which means "from "Nature to Culture", the images are fish, frogs, and the moon; Fuxi represents the patrilineal clan, meaning "from maternal love to patriarchy", and the images are birds, snakes, and the sun.

After completing these three major transformations, Fuxi will also retire.Thereafter, the clan society ended and the tribal era began. It's five o'clock in the morning, let's say goodbye to tonight. The second half of the primary stage of the barbaric era is a time of burning passion.The great ancestors of the Chinese nation have gone through all kinds of hardships, overcame obstacles, and marched forward courageously, showing extraordinary imagination and creativity.This is also a story of spring, when women are in bud and men are rising.They created a variety of cultures and cultural patterns: tools, witchcraft, reproductive cults, sacrificial rituals, primitive song and dance, and body decoration.Moreover, according to the tradition, in Fuxi's era, the earliest cultural symbols, gossip, and the earliest philosophical concept of yin and yang were created.

This is really awesome! Therefore, although Fuxi is still a sheep at this time, he will become a cow one day. In fact, that's how he changed. Fuxi who turned into a cow is Emperor Yan.
