Unit 1 Section 1
At first, the heaven and earth embrace each other, without distinction, a chaotic area, like a big egg. There is no day and night alternation, and there is no clear space. Later, two airflows were born, one yang and one yin, one clear and one turbid. These two airflows were round and intersected, gradually forming a harmonious qi. This harmonious qi gradually became vital. After many years, the first cell appeared. These cells continued to grow and split, and gradually formed a cell group, which formed an organic whole. After many years, this cell group gradually transformed into internal organs, Qiqiao and limbs, and formed a fetus. This fetus was extraordinary, the eldest son of the universe and the ancestor of all things. He was later called Pangu. Pangu looked different from ordinary people, with a snake god and human face, and looked very majestic.
Pangu changed nine times a day, and gradually became impatient with this endless loneliness. So he collected the yin and yang energy and the essence of the universe, and pinched out a big axe and a big chisel. He either chopped with an axe or chisel with a chisel. He didn't know how many ten days he had passed, and he actually chiseled the heaven and earth. He was afraid that the heaven and earth would close again, so he stood in the period, supported the heaven with his hands and stepped on the earth with his feet. Pangu grew one zhang in one day, and the distance between heaven and earth increased by one zhang. At this time, the yang energy rose, the yin energy fell, and the clear yang objects formed a transparent sky, and the yin and turbid objects condensed into a thick earth. The sky continued to rise and the earth continued to thicken, and this lasted for 18,000 years. The sky was already extremely high and the earth was extremely deep, and Pangu also merged with the heaven and earth.
His eyes turned into the sun and the moon, his hair turned into vegetation, his muscles turned into soil, his bones turned into mountains, his stones turned into metal minerals, and some of the parasites in his body turned into humans after many years. When he was in a good mood, the sky was clear and the wind was smooth. If he was in a bad mood, the weather was gloomy and the wind was gushing. When he was sad and crying, the rain was gurgling and lingering. When he was crying, it rained heavily, causing rivers to flood. If he was angry, or encouraged thunder, it was lightning, or launched an earthquake, causing the people to suffer. When he opened his eyes, it was day. When he closed his eyes, it was night.
There is another saying about Pangu. In ancient times, there was a Pangu country. People living in this country were descendants of Pangu. It turned out that a long time ago, Pangu had children with his compatriots and sisters, and then continued to reproduce. There is another saying that after Pangu opened up the world, he called himself the Yuanshi Heavenly King and combined with the Taiyuan Jade Girl. Later, the Emperor was their descendant. When reading ancient books, the readers may have discovered such a situation. Many ethnic creation legends also have similar statements. Someone and someone were brothers and sisters, and after they were combined, a nation gradually reproduced.
In fact, there is an important historical information hidden behind this legend. In the early days, humans and men and women mainly happened between close relatives. At that time, humans were ignorant and did not know what the relationship between reproduction and men and women was related. Therefore, people only knew that there was a mother but not a father. Therefore, people could only use maternal bloodline to measure the distance of blood ties. This is the basis for the formation of maternal society. With this foundation, people will have natural awe of mothers. Therefore, the possibility of relationships between mothers and sons is extremely small, and relationships between brothers and sisters and sisters are very frequent. The reason for this is that the basic conditions were backward at the time, and it was difficult for people to have the opportunity to interact alone with foreign opposite sexes. Seeing such shocking words, the officials may feel incredible or even disgusting. However, this is history and social ethics are gradually formed in the process of continuous development, not from the beginning. These are all off-topics, so hold them down and not mention them for now.
After many years of integration between Pangu and the universe, a small country appeared in the Kunlun Mountains of the Western Regions. Please remember that tribes are actually a modern word. The ancients did not use chiefs or leaders to call their leaders, especially some so-called countries in ancient times, which were actually tribes. They usually came from the same family and continued to reproduce and formed a larger group. Kunlun Mountain is majestic and magnificent, and is the ancestor mountain of my China. The country name of this small country is Yue, and the people living in this small country are Yue people. In this small country, there is a pair of brothers and sisters. The brother is called Huangkao and the sister is called Huangbi. Their mother was the head of Yue. In ancient times, there were more than one title of tribal leaders, such as Jun, Hou, Emperor, Wang, Jun and Hou who were used to refer to women more than women, and later belonged to women.
There is a saying that the leader who uses a bladed wooden weapon is called Di, the leader who uses an axe is called Wang, the leader who is respected by Wenzhi is called Jun, and the king who wears a golden crown is called Huang. When this mother was 90 years old, she gave birth to Huangkao, and when she was 92 years old, she gave birth to Huangbi. Maybe a good judge asked the author who their father was, maybe it was the elder brother or younger brother of the mother! Of course, it may also be an excellent man in the clan. If you ask who it is, only ghosts know. Because most people who can control the overall situation, regardless of men or women, are energetic, it is impossible for only one person to be suspected of fatherhood. Please do not look at the ancient people from today's perspective, because at that time, it was not important who his father was at all.
The reason why the title of the leader belongs to women is that in the pictograms, the latter describes the scene of women when they are about to give birth. It always reminds people to respect their mothers, women, and your leader. She protects the tribe like a mother. And Huangkao and Huangbi grew up day by day. During their growth process, they paid great attention to observing the strange changes of all things in nature. They like to watch the snow on the mountains, the sunrise and sunset behind the snow-capped mountains, and the flowing water on the ground. The confluence near Kunlun is always extremely clear.
Perhaps the audience will be puzzled. Today, the Kunlun Mountains do not seem to be very suitable for survival. Why did a country appear there? Not to mention that many people live in many places that are not suitable for human survival today. For example, in a certain village, all villagers suffer from cancer, but they still stay there, and have been with cancer for generations. Don’t you hear the legend of changing worlds? It is said that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were elephants in Luoyang, Henan. You can imagine how much Guangdong could provoke at that time, so it was not suitable for survival in the south at that time, and the north, especially the Central Plains, was definitely a place with rich resources. The Kunlun Mountains in ancient times were definitely a place with abundant water and grass, so many beautiful stories related to the Kunluo Mountains were left behind.
In today's society, it is generally not advisable to talk about men and women in public, and it is not necessary to perform in front of a third person. When mentioning this woman will blush, even those bold men will feel embarrassed. Men and women are an important field of research by scientists because it is related to the survival of human beings. In ancient times, there was no such taboo at all. At that time, the difference between humans and other animals was not so obvious. Yue people looked different from people today. They all had human heads, snake bodies, a pair of horns on their heads, green hair, and baldness. Opening their mouths could spit out three tongues.
Huangkao and Huangbi often traveled hand in hand, and the relationship between people and animals was very harmonious at that time. They had seen many strange scenes, and of course they also witnessed scenes of animals seeking pleasure. At that time, when humans were seeking pleasure, they rarely gathered to discuss this issue. When the interest came, they were happy! They quickly forgot about it. Everyone lived in a daze and saved a lot of trouble. Although they had witnessed many scenes of men and women seeking pleasure, Huangkao and Huangbi were enjoying it, but they did not imitate their thoughts. After many years, they called Huangkao and he said, "You are not young anymore. There is a perfect joy in this world. You and Huangkao have seen it many times. If you are interested, you can try some." The brother and sister did not dare to look at each other, and came out of their residence later and did not mention this matter again.
Life seems to be passing day by day. At that time, the childbirth was entirely based on God's will, and I didn't know that there was a man's contribution. Many of the sisters of the Emperor's mother gave birth to babies, but her belly was always flat, so she was very embarrassed in front of her sisters. One day, she brought everyone back to collect a large amount of fruits. The ladies sat in the place close to the back to have a meal. The men were not allowed to attend the table, and they could only wait until the ladies finished eating before they could have a meal. Later, when they were having a meal, they saw the Emperor's mother there.
She was depressed and said, "My child, what's wrong with you?" Huangbi said, "Mother, my life is too hard. My sisters have babies, but I don't. It's really boring to live. I might as well die." Then she smiled and said, "I didn't have children when I was as old as you. Seeing that my sisters had babies one after another, I didn't want to live anymore. Later, my mother told me that the reason I didn't have babies is because you were ungodly when you prayed."
The emperor said, "Every night, as long as the moon appears, I will kneel down and pray, but my prayers have never worked." Then he said, "Tell me how I pray." The emperor said, "The moon floated out of the mountains, and I knelt down, muttering in my mouth, 'I want to have a baby.' I read it more than a million times, but I just couldn't do it." An older sister pushed her and said, "How can this be called pious? You are simply asking for accounts with the gods." The emperor grabbed the other party's arm and said, "Good sister, tell me how to pray." The other party said, "This varies from person to person. We all prayed for babies in different ways."
An aunt of the emperor said, "I was worried about not having a baby back then. In order to show my piety, I insisted on bleeding every day, clearing my heart and having few desires, and having no distractions at all, but the baby still couldn't get pregnant. Later, I stopped praying in anger and playing all day long. I was surprised if you think it's strange, I actually got pregnant." The sister said, "The temper of a god is really elusive!" The aunt said, "You said why didn't I let me conceive my baby when I prayed most devoutly, but I waited for me to give up my life goals before I had a baby." Then, he said, "Clearing my heart and having few desires is not a good way to have a baby. I have never been clearing my heart and having few desires in my life, but I have the most children."
The aunt said, "That's your life. Some people are not clear about their hearts and desires, and the baby will die halfway after they are born." After hearing this, she frowned immediately. The aunt quickly stood up and smiled and said, "It's really time to slap my mouth. I'll give you bad luck." Then she said, "You must remember for me, be careful. A word you accidentally said may indicate your future ending. If you say bad things all day long, you will never get rid of bad things, and those who are dating you will also get bad luck." The aunt said, "Thank you for your teachings. After I go back, I will wash my mouth clean and then insist on saying good things every day." Then she said, "It's good to say good things, but you can't tell lies. Telling lies is a very bad thing."
The sister said, "What my mother said is that I have told lies several times. For a long time, I can't get rid of the bad luck on my body." Then, she said, "I have turned this article over, please don't mention it." Huang Kao stood there far away, but stretched his neck and leaned his ears to listen to the ladies' conversation. A middle-aged man next to him put a hand on his shoulder and put his mouth to his ear and said, "Don't eavesdrop on their conversation, that's not what we should know." Huang Kao looked embarrassed and scratched his scalp and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The other party said, "Women are precious. If we know their secrets, we will lose our blessings." Huang Kao lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your teachings."
The other party said, "Have you served women?" Huang Kao said, "After we men are three years old, we are not allowed to approach our mother. How do I serve women?" The other party frowned and said, "What ears have you grown? I asked you if you serve women? I didn't ask if you serve your mother?" Huang Kao said, "I don't understand what you are talking about?" The other party said, "You often play with the emperor's mother, have you never seen anything interesting?" Huang Kao said, "Of course there are a lot of this." The other party immediately asked, "What are there!" Huang Kao said, "The snow-capped mountains are so beautiful at sunrise!" He said, "No."
Huang Kao said, "We once passed by a place where Ganoderma lucidum is full of Ganoderma lucidum, which is very beautiful." The other party said, "It's snow mountain and Linzhi again, is there nothing else?" Huang Kao thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "One time we saw the divine beast Qilin, which is very majestic." The other party gradually became impatient and said, "Stop it, ask you, have you ever been majestic in front of the emperor's mother?" Huang Kao widened his eyes and said, "What do you mean?" The other party said, "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Why are you not going to be successful in life or death? People like you deserve no success." When he heard this Huang Kao smiled and said, "Who is our men who are promising?" The other party immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course it's me. I have served many women, and they all like me very much."
Huang Kao said, "The Emperor's Mother seems to like me very much." The other party said, "That's why I advise you to pay attention to please her, maybe she can help you." Huang Kao said, "Will it be popular with women? I think this is fate, and I don't need so many women to like it." The other party said, "If you don't work hard, the Emperor's Mother won't like you." Huang Kao said, "Then I can't do anything about it." The other party said, "When you lose her, you will know it will hurt."
Although the other party's lobbying operation failed, it still caused a great shock to Huangkao. When he saw Huangbi next time, he became particularly disgusted. Huangbi saw that he looked very awkward, and then he became a little disappointed after he came to him less and less. When he was in a depressed mood, he never scattered his life on others, but just hid in the woods alone and yelled. Unlike the shouts of people today, people in the past did not know how to shout, so they began to imitate the shouts of animals and use these sounds to express their emotions.
Huangkao learned more and more. He could communicate with animals in the woods. He could sit with tigers and recall his childhood, or be invited by the wolf king to visit the wolf den, and listen to the wolf mother's past with the wolf cub. He could walk while chatting with birds in the sky, and listen to the cicadas telling their sad things in the dead of night. It was as noble as a king in the woods, and after returning, it was so humble that it could hardly see itself. After a while of emotion, Huangbi suddenly found that Huangkao had many new skills. They sat side by side on the round bluestone, with their feet soaked in the clear stream, and a scorching red sun above their heads. Huangbi wiped sweat while saying, "You have learned so many things now, but you can't help me give birth to a baby." He sighed while saying, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with melancholy.
Huang Kao said, "My really can't help with this matter." He pointed to the sky and said, "That was decided by God." Huang Bi said, "You said you are a person with bad luck!" Huang Kao said, "I don't think it's. I have been with you for a long time, and I have no bad luck." Huang Bi glanced at him and said, "Then why can't I get pregnant?" Huang Kao thought for a while and said, "Maybe God likes you so much and can't bear to let you take the risk of having a baby!" When he heard the Huang Bi smiled, he said, "Gentle and smooth-mouthed." However, he liked it very much. Huang Kao continued, "Many women in the clan died of difficult childbirth. If I am the God of Mind, I will not let you have a baby."
Huangbi was still worried and said, "But we women have to have babies! If we don't have babies in our lives, we will be looked down upon like you men." Huangkao said, "I think it's good to be a man. It hurts so much!" After he said this, even Huangbi became scared and said, "You haven't given birth to a baby, how could you know it will hurt?" Huangkao said, "I have seen animals give birth to babies, and they are sweating all over and grinning in pain." Huangbi was even more scared. That night, she served in front of the back and said, "Mother, giving birth is so painful? Why do we women still have to give birth?" The latter smiled and said, "If a woman does not give birth, how could she have you? How could she have me? How could she have all the tribesmen of our Yue Kingdom. Flowers do not stick to powder, and the females among the animals do not give birth. All the creatures you can see will be extinct."
Huangbi said, "I want to be a man like Brother Huangkao." Then he stroked her back with his hand and said earnestly: "Why are our women noble? Why are they great? Why are they worthy of respect? It is because we have put in great hard work and sacrifice. For us, childbirth is an unshirkable responsibility. If a woman does not have childbirth, it is like there is no water in the river." Huangbi said, "What if the gods are unwilling to give me a baby?" Then he said, "You are so well-behaved and cute, how could the gods not give you a baby? Don't think about it." Huangbi said, "What if I can't give it to you in the end?" After stopping, Huangbi said, "Is there only one way to die?" Then he said, "You will have a baby."
Although she tried her best to comfort Huangbi, she still felt unsure. Because she was panicked, she didn't sleep all night. Tomorrow morning, she called Huangbi to her and said, "Boy! I thought about it all night, and you can't delay your affairs anymore. What if there is really something that is hard to deal with." Huangbi was so scared that she lay on the ground and said, "Mother wants to kill me?" Then she helped her up and said, "How can I bear to let this go? There is an oldest grandma in our clan. She looks up at astronomy, geography, and knows the ways of changing everything. I will take you to visit her, hoping that she can give you some advice."
When they heard this, the emperor was naturally very happy. They came out of the back bedroom. Two male servants led two tigers over. The two tigers looked very docile. After riding on it, the emperor touched the tiger's neck with his hands and said, "I'm working." The emperor immediately imitated the tiger's neck and said, "I'm working." The servant who led the tiger said, "I'm working." They said, "I'm going to carry you to see the grandma, but they don't know how happy they are." The servants said, "How do you see that they are happy?" The servants said, "I have been raising tigers for many years, and I have touched the tiger's temper and nature. When I see its back, I know what it is thinking?" The emperor said, "It's really like a mountain, and I don't know about this at all."
Huang Bi looked dissatisfied and said, "Brother Huang Kao can communicate with many animals, can you do?" Then he glanced at her fiercely. Huang Bi was afraid that he would almost fall off the tiger. He led the tiger's servant and said, "You have been sitting firmly." Then he said, "You have to worry." The other party said, "I dare not say I have to worry." Soon they arrived at their destination. They came down from the mountains of the tiger, and the two servants led the tiger to a quiet place nearby to wait. The grandma lived in a very deep black hole. Huang Bi walked in and said, "Mother, why are you disgusted with me mentioning Huang Kao?"
The latter said: "Men are just playthings provided by gods to women, but you brag about their skills seriously, which means that you have put too much energy into play. No wonder the gods don't give you baby." The emperor said: "I didn't play much either!" The emperor said: "If you dare to be stubborn again, we will go back." The emperor said: "Mother, why did the grandma live in such a deep cave? There is no light at all!" The latter said: "The grandma could not see anything at all. In the world with light, she was very weak. In the world without light, she was an absolute strong man."
