Female Wa and volt Xi are the character in our country ancient fairy tale, they are the ancestors of nation of an ancient name for China, fu Xi is one of 3 emperor, fu Xi and female Wa are the deities that can bless the god of the land and the god of the grain-the state, chinese of according to legend is unripe by female Wa and volt Xi multiply.
Ancient period, person and god are OK each supplies what the other needs, concerned mythological fokelore is very much, there is not literal record in those days, it is to rely on according to legend of people mouth mouth, although intermediate meeting has some of inconsistent with the facts, but what also can search a few histories is true picture.
Female Wa by honour the first ancestor that is a female, in premier primitive society maternal and clannish period, the female's social class is very high, the person in those days rhizome of wind-weed and do not tell father, accordingly female Wa is in the figure on the history particularly lofty, and Fu Xi by honour the male first ancestor that is the mankind.
Fabulous their mother is Hua Xu, grow very bonnily, one day, she comes to Lei Ze this place, discovered a very big track, temporarily curiosity was in with respect to the station on this big track, have the feeling of a kind of body be pesteringed by the snake suddenly, had pregnancy later from this.
Everyman is October is pregnant, but this one embryo conceived Hua Xu 12 years however, was delivered of a boy and a girl later, all be body of person head snake, it is Fu Xi and female Wa. And the day water that the place that Hua Xu becomes pregnant at the outset is now, accordingly people is called day water " Xi emperor native place " .
" anthology king prolongs life " say: "Body of volt Xi scale, human body of female Wa snake. " " watch of person of book of the later Han dynasty takes an examination of " roll 2 bring " age age general " say: "Hua Xu gives birth to a man to be Fu Xi, strange woman is female Wa.Fu Xi and female Wa are sibling originally, at that time is the universe leave first when, there is a person on the world, they think multiply gives more mankinds, but feel very bashful again, use careless make it then fan, obscured face. Two people went up Kunlun hill, right extremely big cry, "If God lets us,2 people knot is husband and wife, the aerosol on this hill closes, if not be, let smoke drop off " , 2 people say, smoke closes really, then 2 people written guarantee for husband and wife, begin multiply mankind.
In the cultural relic of the concerned Fu Xi that come up out of land and female Wa, have all sorts of different figure, these figure also represented different import. In an image about Fu Xi and female Wa, female Wa hold compasses, fu Xi hold feet, this should be to represent " the circle is stemmed from square, just stem from quadrature " meaning.
Tell high according to business, "The law of several stems from a circle square, the circle is stemmed from square, just stem from quadrature, quadrature is stemmed from ninety-nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-one " , and female Wa is subject to marital Fu Xi as the wife, so Fu Xi hold feet, female Wa hold compasses, should be the honour low concern that reflected both sides.
The Xi of cultural relic the second of the three ten-day periods of the hot season that come up out of land and female Wa still have other form, also represented different import respectively, if female Wa is pulling bob in some pictures, there is a moon in the hand, and head of Fu Xi criterion wears crown, there is the sun in the hand, their below half body is anguine body is handed in tangle together, crown represents the meaning of all manage the four seas, life represents administer heaven and earth and yin and yang, hand in tangle together to represent multiply mankind, there still are a few a mean people on the picture, this is the mankind that Fu Xi and female Wa multiply come out.
About these ancient mythological fokelore, we already textual research of have no way, some are to come from the illuminate at religious noble, it is to safeguard a kind of need with regnant politics, they compile the character in fokelore come out, offer prostrate of masses look with reverence, accord with the need with regnant at that time society thereby, this kind of circumstance often exists on our country history.
" Zun Chuan. Into fair 13 years " say, "National important matter, in offer sacrifices to with army " , so sacred pride of place be been in by the platoon, gubernatorial people also should create a deities that accords with human imagination naturally in order to offer people sacred, accordingly the figure of Fu Xi and female Wa is born from this.
Of course Cong Mou is planted tell on degree, it is true that I also imagine these mythological fokelore, alleged there are no waves without wind, in that ancient time, perhaps really such deities of female like Fu Xi Wa exists, the people in those days perhaps can communicate with deities really, in that way case makes person mind yearning really. And the expresses person, Chinese people to be able to hold to annals of clement kindheartedness, arrow not to move forever spirit that we regard dragon as, carry forward our good convention, we can proclaim haughtily to common people, we are worthy of be dragon send a person!
