Xing Tian

A figure in ancient Chinese mythology and legends, also known as Xingtian. According to the Western Classic of Shanhai, "I competed with the Emperor of Heaven for the God of God, and the emperor cut off his head and buried it in the mountains of Changyang. He used his breast as his eyes, his navel as his mouth, and he used his knot as his mouth to dance." Therefore, he was often praised by later generations as an unyielding hero. Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, read the poem of Shanhai Jing: "Dan Ganqi, his fierce ambition is always there." This is to chant this matter, using it to express his ambition.

It was originally a nameless giant. Because he fought with Huangdi for the throne of the gods, his head was cut off by Huangdi. This is what he called it. The name "" means: Heaven is the divine; punishment means killing. Heaven is the Emperor of Heaven, "" means swearing to kill the Emperor of Heaven for revenge. There is another saying that punishment means cutting and cutting; Heaven is the head, which means head.

When Emperor Yan was still the Emperor of Heaven who ruled the entire universe, he was a minister under Emperor Yan. He loved songs in his life and once wrote music for Emperor Yan and wrote a good harvest of poetry. The general name was Bu Mou, which praised the happy and happy life of the people at that time.

Later, Emperor Yan was overthrown by Huangdi and became a Emperor of Heaven. Although he swallowed his anger and did not fight against Emperor Huangdi, his son and his subordinates were not convinced. When Chiyou raised his troops to resist Emperor Huangdi, he wanted to participate in this war, but because Emperor Yan's resolute stopping did not happen. Chiyou and Emperor Huangdi failed in the battle, and Chiyou was killed. He could no longer suppress his angry heart, so he secretly left the southern heavenly court and headed straight to the central heavenly court to compete with Emperor Huangdi.

He held a rectangular shield in his left hand and a flashing axe in his right hand. He passed the pass and cut open the numerous heavenly gates and rushed to Huangdi's palace. Huangdi was leading all the ministers to watch the fairies singing and dancing in the palace. When he saw the generals wielding the shield and axe coming, he was furious and picked up the sword and started fighting. The two of them stabbed the axe and slashed the sword, from the palace to the outside of the palace, from the heaven to the mortal world, and to the side of Changyang Mountain.

Changyang Mountain is the place where Emperor Yan was born. Not far north, it is Xuanyuan Kingdom where Emperor Huang was born. The people of Xuanyuan Kingdom have a personal face and a snake body and a tail wrapped around their heads. Both enemies have arrived at their homeland, so the battle is particularly fierce. I think that the world was originally from Emperor Yan, but now it has been stolen by you. I must take it back. Huangdi thought that the whole world is peaceful and the people are happy, and my descendants of Xuanyuan are prosperous, so how can others be affected? So everyone uses all their strength and wish they can kill the other party in one go.

After all, Huangdi was a veteran of the battlefield. He had the military tactics taught by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, so he looked at a flaw and slashed at his neck with a sword. With a "click", the huge head, which was like a hill, rolled down from his neck and landed at the foot of Changyang Mountain.

When he touched the neck, there was no head on his neck, he became frightened and quickly moved the axe to his left hand holding the shield, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it on the ground. He wanted to find his unyielding head, put it on his neck and fight with Huangdi. He touched it, and he touched it all over the surrounding valleys. The towering trees and protruding rocks were broken and collapsed under the touch of his right hand, but he still couldn't find the head. He just tried to touch the distance, but he didn't expect that the head was at the foot of the mountain not far from him.

Huangdi was afraid that he would really touch his head, so he returned to his original body and came to oppose him again. He quickly raised the sword in his hand and slashed hard at Chang Yangshan. With the loud "rumbling" and "rattle", Chang Yangshan was split into two halves, and his huge skull fell into the mountains. The two mountains merged into one, burying his head deeply.

Hearing this strange sound, he felt a strange change around him, and stopped fumbleing his head. He knew that the vicious Huangdi had buried his head and that he would always be in a different place. He stood there blankly, like a dark mountain. He imagined Huangdi's smug appearance and imagined that his wish could not be fulfilled. He was extremely angry. He was unwilling to be defeated by Huangdi. Suddenly, he held a shield with one hand and raised a big axe with the other, and danced in a row towards the sky, continuing to fight the invisible enemy in front of him.

How spectacular this scene was that the head was lost. He looked like he was taking his breasts as eyes and his belly button as mouth, and his body was his head. The "eyes" of the breasts seemed to eject anger, and the round navel seemed to be cursing hatred. The head of the body was as solid and stable as a mountain, and the axes and shields held in both hands were so powerful.

Seeing that the headless was still waving the shield and axe angrily, Huangdi felt a trembling heart and became scared involuntarily. He did not dare to attack him anymore and quietly slipped back to the heavenly court.

The broken-headed one is still near Changyang Mountain, waving the weapons in his hand.

Thousands of years later, Tao Yuanming, a great poet of the Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem in reading the Mountains and Seas. He praised it: "The Jingwei holds a small tree and will fill the vast ocean. Dan Gan Qi, and his fierce ambition is always there. Since the same thing has no different kinds, it will be gone and no regrets. It is only set in the past heart, and good times are waiting for it." He praised the spirit of fighting despite failure. The "gan" in the poem is a shield, and "qi" means an axe. It symbolizes a spirit: never compromise.

[Edit this section] "Historical Information"

In oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, the symbolic totem of the clan and tribes is a human-shaped symbol. It was originally an unknown god of the Huaxia tribe, but it was called "Shaping Tian" after it was cut off. In the original Shanhai Classic, Dai was called "Shaping Tian", and the name of "" is believed to be changed by Tao Yuanming. According to Taiping Yulan, Tao Jingjie's poems on reading Shanhai Classics, "" means "the body is broken", but it may be copied incorrectly, and there are two theories: "Dan Gan Qi" and "The shape is gone for a thousand years".

For thousands of years, literati have argued that Tao Yuanming used "" or "shape-aborted". In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Hong said that "shape-aborted has no thousand years of life" was correct, but Zhou Bidazi of the Southern Song Dynasty refuted, believing that "shape-aborted has no thousand years of life" was not logical in use in poetry, so "dance-aborted has no thousand years of life" was correct. However, in the Qing Dynasty, Tao Shu was inclined to Zeng Hong's statement. In the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, Lu Xun and Guo Moruo believed that "shape-aborted" and "shape-aborted" could not achieve this meaning, so he used "".

According to the Shanhai Classic: "The sky competes with the emperor for the gods, and the emperor cuts off his head and buried it in the mountains of Changyang. He uses his breasts as his eyes, his navel as his mouth, and his kids as his mouth to dance."

The sky is the name of a god without a head in mythology. The shape is the meaning of "punishment", cutting, and killing. The sky means the meaning of the top, referring to the head of a person. It means cutting off the head. Therefore, this god was originally nameless, and only after the head was cut off was cut off, the name of the god was named.

[Edit this paragraph] "Extended meaning"

In later generations, he became a symbol of brave soldiers, and among all dynasties, he was even more metaphorized as the god of fighting. Thousands of years later, Tao Yuanming, a great poet of the Jin Dynasty, wrote a poem in reading the Mountains and Seas. He praised: "The Jingwei held a small tree and would fill the vast ocean. Dancing Gan Qi, his fierce ambition is always there. Since the same thing has nothing to be used, he will never regret it. He only set it in the past heart, and good times are waiting for him." He praised the spirit of fighting despite his failure. The "gan" in the poem is a shield, and "qi" means an axe. It symbolizes a spirit: Never compromise TV series My leader My regiment Yu Xiaoqing once quoted this sentence to inspire Long Wen and other soldiers of the Sichuan Army, expressing his courage to resist Japan.
