Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter [-]: Origin of Taoism ([-])

Ge Hong nodded solemnly, affirmed Bao Gu's thoughts, and then said: "You are only half right, it is true that someone brought this kind of writing out (the ancients at that time also had a certain understanding of oracle bone inscriptions, because After the demise of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and the rise of the Zhou Dynasty, oracle bone inscriptions continued to be used for a period of time. It is the earliest known systematic writing form in China. It inherits the original engraved symbols on the top and bronze inscriptions on the bottom. It is the key to the development of Chinese characters. form, so the ancients could not have discovered it until the Qing Dynasty! The reason is that the records were lost due to several wars in Wuhuhuahua, which is the correct answer)!"

"I don't quite understand what you said, please explain carefully!"

"What I mean is that there should have been a person who was familiar with this earliest and self-contained writing, and then this person escaped from Yin and Shang for some reason. After all, early writing is not something like the upper nobles of the ruling class. It is absolutely not allowed to learn, just like us now, poor scholars have no chance of promotion at all, and this kind of writing is also firmly controlled by the upper ruling nobles!"

"Well, what you said makes sense, then what?!"

"If you think about it again, the ruling class must have priests who ask the gods for divination. If there is a sacrifice, there must be a system passed down from ancient times. Otherwise, how to communicate with the heavens, and how to prove the sanctity of the ruling class? Since the ruling class has The people will naturally follow God's guidance, and then in the development of this sacrificial system, the wise upper-level rulers will continue to absorb various early worship beliefs from the people, and make continuous improvements and changes. In this way, this fusion It will be more convincing and sacred if the sacrificial system of the upper and lower levels is established!"

"What you said, I seem to understand a little bit, you mean, our current Taoism, alchemists, immortals, and folk beliefs like the five immortals mentioned by those little girls before are actually all originated from one family! "

"Miss Bao, you are so smart, that's what I mean!"

"Hmph, I'm naturally smart. You don't need to say that, but from your point of view, why did this ancient technique become so fragmented (you should understand what I mean when you read this I want to quote a fragment of Luo Guanzhong's novel, yes, just to say that the origin of the original spells should have evolved from a systematic text! I've spent so much time talking about this now, also for the sake of In the future, I will establish some mythological systems of my own in the article. After all, this article will continue to spread in the future. The confrontation and integration between Buddhism and Taoism, as well as between other religions, many things cannot be fully explained by science)?"

Ge Hong didn't answer Bao Gu's question right away, but smiled mysteriously at her!

"Ah! I understand, I understand, you mean that the Wuzitian has been scattered all over the world due to the passage of time or changes caused by wars!"

"Smart! It is precisely because of the disintegration of the sacrificial system in the Shang Dynasty that these words have the opportunity to spread on a large scale!"

"Wait, I actually have some doubts. Why do you say it is the Shang Dynasty? What is the relationship between the Nine Heavens Profound Girl you mentioned earlier and the Shang Dynasty?"

"Nine Heavens Xuannv is actually Xuannv, that is, Xuannv, the totem of merchants!"

"You mean, the original body of the legendary Nine Heavens Profound Girl is actually a tribal totem?! A totem with a bird body and a human face?!"

"Yes, and the tribe with this totem is the early ancestors of the merchants!"

"It's not impossible what you said, but I heard that the ancestors of the merchants lived in the Central Plains (roughly during the Yao and Shun period, living in the Shangqiu area of ​​Henan Province), and the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You in the Zhuo County area (Zhuo County in history) Located in the central part of Hebei Province, in the triangle area of ​​Beijing, Tianjin and Baoding, it is the "South Gate" of the capital Beijing), and most of the tribes in the south, and even the tribes in the Central Plains now obey Chi You, so, I think you are Not a mistake?Ge Hong!You have to know, the so-called deduction, if one key node is wrong, all of them will be wrong! "

"Absolutely not wrong. The ancestors of the merchants were Qi Xing during the time of Yao and Shun. According to historical records, "Qi Zuo Yu made great contributions to water control." I personally think it is possible whether the tribe has actually built a compass car, because they can satisfy the three elements. First, they must be familiar with the local geography and astronomy. You need to be familiar with geography, and even have changes to deal with the local environment, which means that they have lived there for a long time. You must know that the languages ​​​​of the various places were not fluent at that time, and it was impossible to learn much from other tribes in a short period of time! Therefore, the early merchants It should be in the north!"

Bao Gu pondered for a long time. Although she didn't have much interest in where the businessman lived in the early days, it might really be closely related to what Ge Hong was going to say next, so she still listened carefully without making a sound.

"That's why the Xuannv tribe, that is, the ancestors of the merchants, was able to create a guide car to help the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You, and the development of writing must have a sacrificial system!"

"Well, I understand what you said here. You should be right. This merchant tribe is indeed very mysterious. It can have such high writing and numeracy achievements in ancient mythology!"

"You believe what I said, so I am sure that after the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the merchant improved his sacrificial system even more, and when the Shang died, his sacrificial system also collapsed, or in other words, before the merchant The secrets of these characters in their possession spread out, and other civilizations that possessed these characters, such as Zhou, Yong, Lu, Shu and other tribes (During the Battle of Muye, the history recorded the names of some tribes united with the Zhou army, they There are: Yong, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu, Qiang, Wei, Mao and other tribes, with a total of 5 allied forces), and they should have learned these characters that were originally controlled by merchants, Siping, and they can quickly become stronger!"

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that although the Shang Dynasty eventually perished, his writing was preserved, and the sacrificial system that spread from the merchants became fragmented, and the inheritance of each tribe was incomplete. It is more likely While absorbing and inheriting, they discarded and changed the sacrificial systems of many merchants according to their own tribe’s original beliefs. The techniques and genres that have been exiled among the people should all originate from the sacrificial system of merchants, because only merchants have the earliest writing (so far all archeology has not found a trace of writing in the Xia Dynasty, so the myth says that the Yellow Emperor is the descendant of the Nine Heavens Xuannv) The disciple, that is, the Yellow Emperor once learned from the merchant tribe, which makes sense, because at that time only merchants had systematic and systematic writing, and naturally the achievements in various aspects can be preserved, and the death of a certain person will not bring him along with him. Therefore, with such a systematic writing, various life experiences and sciences, and even precious knowledge of other races can be passed on and developed)!"

"From what you said, I also believe that all the various schools and sects in the world now have magic arts, witchcraft (when the Yellow Emperor was learning talismans, he mentioned using insects, of course, now it is mainly the Miao family and other minorities who have witchcraft. Gu art), as well as Grandma Taishan, Nine Heavens Profound Girl, Five Great Immortal Gates and other beliefs should all originate from the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty!"

"Yes, if we can find the Wuzitian of the Shang Dynasty that records all the complete systems (the so-called Wuzi can also be understood as characters that we don't know at all), we can reconstruct the true orthodoxy that we have lost!"
