There are different opinions about the year of Zhuan Xu's birth and death, which can be roughly divided into two types in many ancient books. One thinks that Zhuan Xu is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Changyi, and his mother is the daughter of Shushan. Records in Shiben, Dai Li Ji and Historical Records fall into one category:
However, in Shan Hai Jing, it is quite different. Between Changyi and Zhuan Xu, a strange man named Liu Han appeared in the sky. In this way, Changyi jumped from Zhuan Xu's father to his grandfather. Then, what is the origin of this Korean wave recorded in Shan Hai Jing, and why is this person completely absent from other ancient books?
Interestingly, in Shan Hai Jing, there is also a special book about the appearance of Korean Wave: "Bowing your head" refers to long ears; "Dear ear" is the shape of the ear covered, which means that its helix is very wide and can cover the root of the ear; "human face" means that the five senses are the same as people; "beak" is to emphasize the pig's mouth; "Canal stock" is the image of a deep ditch on its ass, indicating that its ass is very fat; "Dolphin stop (toe)" means pig leg.
Therefore, the Korean Wave pieced together by so many fragments of words is a combination of people and pigs with pigs as the main body, which makes people feel incredible: Why is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the father of Zhuan Xu like a pig god?
In this record, besides the lineage of Huangdi-Changyi-Hanliu-Zhuan Xu, there is another important point: east of quicksand and west of Blackwater, there are two mysterious countries, one is the country facing the clouds, and the other is the country of Sikui.
The emphasis is on Xibiguo, which means to raise pigs, indicating that the people in this country are good at domesticating pigs, which reminds us of the famous "Wei Zi" in history books, a tribal country that was active in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties and took pigs as its totem.
Putting the country of Sikun and the later Korean Wave together means that the Korean Wave with pig image is probably the pig god worshipped by the country of Sikun! When people create gods, they often take familiar things around them as the prototype, and then turn them into the existence of faith. Just as the meaning of human face in the image of Korean Wave means that human reason is dominant, the integration of other pig elements in the body means the absorption of pig divinity.
It is not empty talk to say that the image of the Korean Wave is a pig god, because in Shan Hai Jing, the gods of forty-eight mountains are recorded, from the "mountain on the wing" to several mountains, which are characterized by the image of "head", just like the Korean Wave!
So, what is the purpose of creating this "head-protecting" god to learn the divinity of pigs? This is the code to unlock why Bo Han, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the father of Zhuan Xu, was shaped into a pig god.
When it comes to pigs, many people have the impression that they are lazy and rolling in the mud. In fact, pigs have a very high status among ancient ancestors and are extremely sacred. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, people who are familiar with the word "home" built a shed on the pig. The divinity of pigs is closely related to water!
Shan Hai Jing recorded such a monster named He. He is ugly and sounds like a baby. He not only eats people, but also eats other insects, snakes and wild animals. And the most amazing thing is that it will cause floods all over the world as soon as it appears.
Did you get a look at him? He's characteristic is that he can cause floods, and his image is exactly the same as that of the Korean Wave and Forty-eight Mountain Gods, all of which are "heads", indicating that at least in Shan Hai Jing, the divinity of pigs may lie in water!
Isolated evidence cannot be used as an example. Similarly, the relationship between pigs and water can also be seen in The Book of Songs, Xiaoya Gradually Stones:
Li Li's worship of Dongyi pigs and its related cultural phenomena: "There are tapirs wading in waves" is a folk proverb used in Dongyi's hometown to describe the close relationship between pigs and water, and wading with pigs means more floods.
The more direct evidence comes from Qu Yuan Old Master Q, who has such a sentence in Chu Ci and Tian Wen, which reveals the relationship between Hebo and pigs and shows that the divinity of pigs lies in water!
Mr Wen Yiduo thinks that the prototype of Hebo Fengyi is a pig, and the seal is a wild boar, which is a kind of address for pigs by Chu people.
In addition, Su Kui in the sky is also the image of a pig, which is likely to be the "screen" of a two-headed pig, and its divinity is also "blasphemy of the main ditch"!
Since the divinity of the pig is related to water, it is logical for us to find the deep logic of his connection with Zhuan Xu, because Emperor Zhuan Xu himself is watery: he is watery and located in the north, and his god is Xuan Ming!
Therefore, according to the lineage of Zhuan Xu recorded in Shan Hai Jing, we have reason to believe that the divinity of Zhuan Xu's main water may inherit the characteristics of his father, Bo Han, the pig god, while Zhuan Xu's main north may be because the country of Bo Han and Sikun is located in the north, but the deeper reason may be that in the eyes of the ancients, the title was awarded to Beidou pig god!
In fact, the relationship between pigs and the ancients far exceeds that of the other six animals. In the prehistoric Liaohe River basin, such an animal-shaped jade was popular, and today people call it "Jade Pig Dragon". It can be seen that the snout of the animal's head at one end of the jade article protrudes forward, and a pair of nostrils are juxtaposed in front. There are also many lines around the snout and eyes to show the folds of the skin.
In addition, this beast has thick ears, some have fangs, and the back of the neck is high and long, which shows that the prototype of primitive dragon worship in Liaohe River Basin may be pigs!
Then, why did the ancient ancestors value pigs so much, and even worshipped them as one of the prototypes of the dragon totem? Taking archaeological materials as an example, the agricultural economy of Hongshan Culture in Liaohe River Basin is relatively developed, and the domestication of pigs is accompanied by primitive agriculture. You Zhu is the most typical dependent animal of our ancestors.
It not only represents the richness of life as a symbol of wealth, but also has a certain divinity. The ancients regarded the pig as a "water beast", so it was naturally chosen as a sacred object to communicate with people and gods in the sacrificial activities such as praying for heaven, rain, drought and flood, which may be the deep reason for the worship of the ancient "pig god".
