Fuxi culture has the spirit of creation, dedication and harmony, combined with the spirit of pioneering and innovating and advancing with the times, showing new vitality. Fuxi culture, as the source of China traditional culture, has become an important cultural link to enhance national cohesion, showing a broader prospect. Tianshui Taihao Fuxi Festival was listed in the first batch of national material and cultural heritage list published by the State Council in 2006.
First of all, the ancestors of mankind
In ancient China mythology, the task of human beings was given to Fuxi Nuwa, two brothers and sisters. In the poem "Peaceful Royal Scenery", a girl from Hua Xushi, who lives in rural Hua Xu, went to visit a scenic Razer. When Gail saw a huge footprint, she stepped on it curiously, so she got pregnant. On March 18, Hiuke had a son named Fuxi. The footprints in Razer are actually left by Raytheon, who has the head of the dragon. The Raytheon recorded in East longitude in the mountains and seas: In Razer's translation, there is a Raytheon, a dragon body, a head and a belly. So Fuxi was originally a dragon with a dragon head. He is also Nuwa's brother. In Yu, people used ropes to teach people to weave nets for fishing and hunting, which greatly improved the productivity of human beings at that time. At the same time, teaching people to domesticate wild animals is the origin of domestic animals. Change the marriage custom, advocate the marriage custom etiquette that men hire women to marry, and change the consanguineous marriage into the marriage outside the family, ending the primitive group marriage state that children only know their father for a long time. Began to make a book contract to take notes, replacing the backward form of knotting notes. It is naive to invent pottery, harp and other musical instruments, create music and ballads, bring music into people's lives and help them cultivate morality and rationality. Divide and rule cities, appoint officials to manage society, and provide reference for future generations to manage society. Create an ancient calendar.
Second, the Eastern Emperor
In addition to his ancestors, Fuxi was also an emperor who ruled one side. On 15. According to "Huai Nan Zi Shi Zexun", the pole of the East, starting from Jieshi Mountain, crosses North Korea, passes through the country of adults, and reaches 22,000 Li in the green soil of fields and trees at sunrise. Gao: Taixu, Fu, Ye, the Emperor of Oriental Mude, and Mu Shen.
Fuxi is the Eastern Emperor among the Five Emperors and his ministry. Fuxi Tai Hao said that his real name was Feng. Legend has it that he has virtue, such as the brightness of the sun and the moon, so he is called Tai Hao. The mythical ancestor of the Chinese nation. He was also asked to teach people to weave nets and engage in fishing, hunting and animal husbandry at Liaoning University of Technology. Began to draw gossip, light a fire, and get old. In ancient China, saints were often regarded as gods, and it was said that Fuxi could ascend to heaven by ladder one by one. Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing contains: Within the South China Sea, between the black water and the blue water, there is wood, which is called Jian Mu. Tai Bai Gao has passed, and the Yellow Emperor has returned. Too white and too high, that is, Fuxi is the upper and lower meaning of building wood. "Huai Nan Zi Shi Zexun" contains: it starts from Shishan in the east, crosses Korea, is too high in Taibai, and its company is 22,000 Li. Gao: Taibai Gao, Fu, Emperor Mude of the East; Ju Mang, the god of wood. Fuxi enjoys the status of the Eastern Emperor among the Five Emperors, which is his ministry.
Jin and Huangfu Mi's "Imperial Century", "Dunjia Mountain Map" and "Notes on the Mirror" said that after Taihao Fuxi, the Tianxia 15 Tribal Alliance all inherited Fuxi's title, namely, Nuwa, Dading, Bai Huangshi, Zhongyang, Li Lushi and Li Xushi. According to Yi, from Jiayin House to 57882 AD.
Third, the medicine of this sect is easy.
Fu is one of the earliest wise men in the history of China literature. Fuxi's greatest contribution to the progress of human civilization is to start drawing eight letters. Fu, the ancestor of mankind, has been regarded as the originator of medicine and acupuncture for thousands of years. He founded the Eight Diagrams Theory, which linked the theory of all diseases of the human body with the theory of nature of heaven and earth, enriched the understanding of the human body, and made witch doctors a special group of people's spiritual sustenance and illness attachment in the ignorant era.
Lu You's poem "Reading Yi" in Song Dynasty: The mystery of Gan Kun was broken for no reason, and the disaster began when the emperor painted it. The first volume of Wang Yun's "Talking about Shi Wen" in the Qing Dynasty is an example: First, there are several heads, not words at the bottom, which means that you can see the meaning of one, that is, hanging hexagrams to draw a table, which means that one painting opens the sky, so it is flat. In other words, all the troubles and grievances in the world actually stem from the first hand of saints at the beginning of creation. Fuxi drew the simplest symbol to represent his thoughts. This simplest symbol is the first light of my Chinese philosophy, which has developed into a prosperous Yi-ology. Jiao Xun in Qing Dynasty reminded us that people who learn Yi must know what the world was like before Fuxi's gossip.
Wang Chuanshan also believes that painting was not easy before. Painting is easy before painting, so painting is born, and painters are easy to go northwest. Mr. Fang Dongmei, a master of modern Chinese studies, also said: There are two things in academic circles that have aroused widespread concern. These two things are equally interesting and difficult. One is the Book of Changes, and the other is Oracle Bone Inscriptions. He thought that the Book of Changes and Oracle Bone Inscriptions left us only symbols. Many people are thinking carefully and using different methods. If one method doesn't work, use another. Some people put many people's methods together to make sense, so it is futile to see each other's contradictions. All the above quotations tell us that Fuxi's painting of gossip is mainly based on the natural scene at that time. The philosophy of the eternal existence of the universe is expressed by simple symbols.
The modern scene, of course, is different from that of Fu at that time. When we read the Book of Changes, we must put ourselves in the position and stand in the scene at that time to experience it. The basic idea of Zhouyi is the transformation of yin and yang and the induction between man and nature. The unity of opposites between Yin and Yang is the universal law of the universe and the law of life movement. As the spirit of all things, human beings are no exception. Modern scientific research shows that the sun, the earth and its meteorological changes can cause biological reactions. Influenced by the periodic rhythm of nature, human beings have discovered the biological clock and the medicinal properties of drugs in different seasons, forming a unique theory of traditional Chinese medicine: medicine and medicine are homologous. The human body is also made up of yin and yang. Yang is dynamic, Yin is static, Yang dominates life, Yin dominates death, Yang rises and Yin falls. Supporting yang and suppressing yin is the basic means of traditional Chinese medicine. Clear yang goes out of the upper orifices, while turbid yin goes out of the lower orifices; Clearing yang produces phlegm, and turbid yin leads to five internal organs; Clearing yang and consolidating limbs, turbid yin belongs to six fu organs; If it is expensive, it will be normal, and if it is abnormal, it will be disastrous. You can't get in or out, you can't get old, you can't rise or fall, you can't grow, you can't close. The harmony between man and nature embodies the law of harmony between man and nature. Modern science also recognizes its existence. Watson, an American anthropologist, pointed out in the book Trends of Life that the liquid in every human body is a perfect representation of the ancient ocean, and the sodium, potassium and magnesium in our blood are the same as those in the primitive ocean. Women's menstrual period is mostly synchronized with the rhythm of the moon, that is, the menstrual period is mostly concentrated around the moon deficiency period, and the ovulation period is closer to the full moon period. Professor Ross Maris of the United States also put forward a similar theory, pointing out that during the full moon and new moon, people's blood vessels are more likely to rupture, the frequency of heart attacks is higher, and there are more murders than usual, which shows that the theory of correspondence between man and nature is scientific, not groundless. Chinese herbal medicine consists of plants, animals and minerals. Drugs are influenced by various natural environmental conditions, forming four gases and five flavors. The sky is yin, and qi is born in the sky, so it is also yang. With the change of seasonal climate, drugs are divided into cold, hot and cold. The ground is yin, the taste is born in the ground, so it is also yin, and the five elements and directions belong to it everywhere, so the medicine is sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Five movements and six qi have certain periodic changes. Ancient doctors lost no time to reserve corresponding drugs according to the four-day qi of that year. This medicinal material has special effects of invigorating qi and concentrating.
Modern pharmacological experiments show that the stinky plane leaves picked before flowering in May have a strong antihypertensive effect, but the effect is weak after flowering, and the content is the highest around August. Within a day, the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine are different. Taking narcissus as an example, the lowest content of active ingredients is at 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening, and the highest content is at 6 am and 14 in the afternoon. Therefore, it is reasonable for the master of Chinese medicine to pinch some medicinal materials according to the season. This area is divided into east, west, north and south. Due to the specific situation of each region, the five flavors are also biased, so ancient doctors pay attention to authentic medicinal materials, and contemporary research also proves this point. For example, the content of volatile oil of Angelica sinensis in Min County of Gansu Province is 0.4%, and that in Wenxian County of Sichuan Province is 0.7%. Drug analogy is another key point of easy communication between doctors and patients. The shape, nature, qi and quality of each medicine are different, and the shapes of its meridians are similar, such as Forsythia suspensa, which is similar to the heart, Litchi seed, which is similar to the testicles, and enters the kidney: those who follow nature, such as those who moisten blood, those who dry qi, are close to the heaven, and those who seek qi, such as incense entering the spleen, burning the heart, and those of the same sex, such as the head entering the eye. The principle of nature can refer to something. Some Chinese herbal medicines, such as ginseng, also use the figures of eight diagrams divination in the Book of Confused Luoshu to illustrate their sexual and taste effects. Three or five leaves, the number of yang, is also the yin in India, which belongs to the water of the ridge: Ejiao and Radix Rehmanniae use water to put out the fire, which is the gap between the ridges. Although each Chinese medicine has a specific performance and efficacy, that is, the deviation of qi, according to the Yijing theory, it is still a complex of yin and yang. Traditional Chinese medicine itself is often a small compound with multiple functions. For example, salvia miltiorrhiza can dilate coronary artery, increase blood flow, slow down heart rate and enhance contractility. Shortening the duration of myocardial ischemia has obvious sedative effect on the central nervous system. Some effective and seemingly useless ineffective components can be dissolved in soup when Chinese medicine is boiled in water, and often ineffective components are of great significance to the activity of effective components. Other drugs have both toxic and detoxicating active components, and they are used in harmony with each other. No one is suitable without it. This is the unity of opposites of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore. Many modern pharmaceutical companies separate the so-called effective components from Chinese herbal medicines, thinking that they can be concentrated to enhance their efficacy. In fact, this method is not desirable, and it is a practice that does not fully understand the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Life and death are thousands of miles apart, and life is the most important thing, more expensive than 1000 yuan. Exploring the hidden, returning to heaven, changing everything and knowing everything is the foundation of Taoist doctors, and it is the duty of Taoist doctors to exhaust everything and know everything. Only by knowing astronomy and geography can we understand personnel. The purpose and principle of prolonging life is to reconcile yin and yang. Zhang Jingyue said: Although there are many medical treatments, in a word, they are only yin and yang. Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty said: I don't know what is easy, so it's no exaggeration to treat a doctor. Doctors are easy to communicate, and the reason is the same. Famous doctors in the Ming Dynasty said in the book Analogous Classics, Drawing Wings and Governing Yi: Yi also has the beauty of Yin and Yang; Doctor, meaning is also a combination of yin and yang. .. the unity of heaven and man, one yin and one yang: medicine is easy to be homologous and changeable. Leibniz said: Yi is the father of science.
The Book of Changes expounds the principle of the dynamic and static changes of Yin and Yang, and expounds the mechanism of the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in human body. They are similar in epistemology and methodology, so they are easy to have medical principles and use. Both of them come from the same understanding of the changes of Yin and Yang, which is not only the pride of traditional Chinese medicine, but also the direction of human medicine, the bright road and the pointer of struggle.
