What does this cow symbolize? The first symbolic ancestor totem Many countries and nations in the world worship cows as totems. For example, the ancient Egyptians and Persians regarded the bull as the ancestor of mankind. The Chinese nation, from ancient times to the present, worships Yandi and Huangdi as ancestors. According to textual research, Yan Di's ancestral home is Tiantai Mountain in Baoji, Shaanxi. According to Records of the Historian, Emperor Yan "started from Lieshan and lived there" and was the leader of the Jiang tribe. He lived in the early Yangshao culture in primitive society. According to Shan Hai Jing, the bull's head of Emperor Yan is actually the totem of his tribe. Therefore, the activities of ancient Qixi (an annual festival) are all related to the worship of cattle ancestors. In China, there are still many ethnic groups who worship cows as totems. * * * People worship yaks as totems. According to Tibetan historical records, some ethnic origins of Tibetans come from the "ancient yak and Qiang". The ancient Qiang people were "yak species, and the more Qiang they were, the more they were"; Totem worship of Mangniu is also a belief of Mongolians. The History of Buryat in Mongolia written by Lombok also records the myth and legend about the Mongolian ancestor "Idugan mated with Emperor Mangniu when roaming Lake Baikal". As an ancestral totem, its cultural communication and folk influence are far-reaching. Nowadays, whether it is the well-preserved primitive rock paintings about yak theme in Tibetan areas, the cow head ornamentation carved on bronzes in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, or even the yak bronzes unearthed a few days ago, it can be traced back to the totem worship culture of ancient China people with cattle as their ancestors. The second symbolic meaning of the creation myth is ancient. Emperor Yan led his troops to nomadic fishing and hunting along the northwest river, and then came to the central plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. He tasted grass with the smell of ox tongue, knew the valley with the sensitivity of ox eyes, and moved mountains and rivers with the strength of ox, which made indelible contributions to the development and progress of the Chinese nation. According to Shan Hai Jing, Yan Di's youngest daughter, Nu Wa, swam in the East China Sea and drowned. Later, she turned into a bird of Jing Wei and took wood and stone from Yukio Hatoyama (now the eldest son) to "fill" the East China Sea. This is the famous myth and legend "Jingwei filling the sea". It embodies the creative feat of the tauren Emperor Yan. It is also recorded in the Tibetan creation myth "The Origin of Everything": "The head, eyes, intestines, hair, hooves and hearts of cattle have become the sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes, forests and mountains." This is the inevitable result of Tibetan ancestors' rich imagination after deifying or materializing their totem yak. The Song of Spa Zainiu, which is still widely circulated in Amdo Tibetan area, records: "When the Spa (meaning the universe and the world) was first formed, heaven and earth were mixed together. When Spa slaughtered the cow, he cut it off and threw it on the ground, and there was a high mountain peak. Cut off the oxtail and throw it on the side of the road, and there will be a winding road; Peel off the cowhide and spread it on the floor, and there will be a flat leaf. " The third symbolic meaning: the ox king protects the gods. Cattle became a folk patron saint, which originated from the ancient animal totem belief and later evolved into an animal god. There was a custom of offering sacrifices to the ox god in Qin Dynasty. "Zhu? "Wei Shui Zhu" quoted Biography as saying that Niu Wang was originally a big camphor tree in Nanshan and was illegally cut down. " The tree was broken and turned into a cow. Qin made a skirt. "The fusion of ancient and modern books? In the May 4th Movement of Nerve, I quote Notes of Liaohua Prefecture: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was the Niuwang Temple in the north of Yunnan, with Niuwang in the middle. "In modern times, the cowshed god worshipped by the people is also an anthropomorphic god, and it is sacrificed on July 25th and October 1st of the lunar calendar every year. The Tibetan ancient book "God of Creation" also records that Son of God Niechizamp, a longicorn, descended from the sky and "came to be the owner of Tibetan yak". In Tibetan areas, "Jia Rong people worship the portrait of the bull's head, the wall is inlaid with grand white stones, and the roof is dedicated to the bull's head." Jia (A) Rong Tibetans in Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture are still enshrined as "tauren". The fourth symbolic meaning is that cows are not only gods, but also victims of sacrifice. As early as prehistoric times, primitive people had been buried with cow bones, which was the beginning of the sacrifice of vertebral cows to the gods. After Shang and Zhou Dynasties, offering sacrifices to gods was as important as fighting. Zuo Zhuan: "The great event of a country lies in the respect for peace and glory. "At that time, the highest gods were ancestors and Emperor Yan, and the sacrifices were cows." Zhen: ... Yu Niu 300. ""Ding Hai ... Mao 300 cows. "In Anyang archaeology, a large number of cattle sacrificial remains have also been discovered. At that time, the sacrificial society also used cattle, with large livestock such as cattle as prison or prison, and small livestock such as sheep as prison. Book of rites? Wang Zhi said: "The kingdom of emperors is too imprisoned, while the kingdom of princes is less imprisoned. "The ritual of killing cattle to worship ancestors has been circulating. In Changhua County Records of the Republic of China, Li people "don't drink medicine when they are sick, but pray to kill cows, taking witches as medicine and cows as medicine." People and cows will die. "Lijiang government records? Folklore: "The dead natives are coffins. In the evening, they slaughtered cattle and sheep as sacrifices with a local witch named' Doba', and relatives and men gathered to mourn for drunkenness.
