Be prepared for danger, summer and tribute. Or that I will be a vassal of the south of the Yangtze River. Because of his burial, his life will be recorded So are auditors and accountants. -"Historical Records Xia Benji"
These are two historical materials in ancient books about how Yu killed Fang Feng and why Fang Feng was killed. Yu's murder of Fang Feng's family was recorded in Guoyu Luyu. The general idea is that Yu sent someone to inform the governors of the world to meet in Huiji Mountain. When Fang Feng's family arrived later than other leaders, Yu killed him and slaughtered his body. As for why Yu killed Fang Feng's family, the historical materials about the origin of the names of Yu and Huijishan in Historical Records Xia Benji are worth noting. It shows that the tributary system has been very complete since Yu and Xia dynasties. Some people say that Yu died when he met with governors in Jiangnan and inspected their political achievements. Later, he was buried here, and Huiji came from here. Huiji means accounting. The right to inherit the ancient throne was inherited by virtuous people; A father doesn't have to carry on the family line, but only if his son is virtuous. Therefore, Yao passed on to Shun, and Shun passed on to Yu. However, in the Yu era, the social form has moved towards a slave society. Funerals from the Yellow Emperor to Dayu show that the simplicity of tribal leaders is disappearing. Under this condition, leaders make greater contributions and get higher enjoyment. Yu wants to pass the throne to his son Qi. Qi is also a man with both ability and political integrity, but comparatively speaking, Fang Feng, the first hero in Dayu's water control process, has a higher prestige.
It is impossible for Dayu not to know that there was a flood on the road to prevent the wind, and he came late to help the victims. And he beheaded Fang Feng's family without saying anything, and he knew it. "Under Mandarin and Lu Language" said: "Yesterday, Yu made a group of gods on Huiji Mountain, and when the wind came, Yu killed them." That is to say, when meeting clan leaders this time, if they arrive late, then Yu will kill them. Yu has mastered an army that can kill a clan and tribe alone. Therefore, this time, Fang Feng was killed in front of all clan and tribal leaders in order to make an example and change the situation that every clan and tribal leader had considerable independence in the past. Therefore, the leaders of the tribes were afraid to go their own way when they saw Yu naturally. That is, from this time on, Yu really realized his command of the world and became the real "King of Kyushu".
"History as a Mirror" Volume 22: "After the defense of the wind, it will be slaughtered to benefit the ministers and attack Wei, and many countries will decide." According to this, Yu's killing the wind is the founding of the country to warn the ministers. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu attacked the State of Yue and occupied Huiji, the capital of the State of Yue, and gained the great bone cherished by the State of Yue. That bone is too big. A bone needs a car to install. The occupying forces of Wu don't know what this bone is. Even if they ask about the Vietnamese, they can't understand it themselves.
The king of Wu sent an emissary with this big bone to drive to Lu to consult the learned Confucius. The emissary first presented a generous gift to the relevant officials of Lu, and made a joint before meeting Confucius. Confucius is presiding over the sacrificial ceremony. When he heard the arrival of the special envoy, he dared not neglect. He took the sacrificial vessel and held a banquet.
During the dinner, the messenger respectfully asked Confucius to load this huge bone into the car and said, "Why is this bone so big?"
Confucius carefully examined the giant bone, thought about it briefly, and replied, "I have heard of a past." When Dayu succeeded in harnessing water, he called ministers to a meeting in Huiji Mountain. A man named Fang Feng was late, and Dayu ordered him beheaded. (2) A bone of Fang Feng's family can hold a special car, just like this bone. " ③
Hearing this, the messenger secretly said yes, and then asked, "Then who is the God you are talking about?" Confucius said, "It's very simple. There are all kinds of gods. Defending famous mountains and rivers can make rain with the wind and benefit one side. It is the princes who call on God to defend the country, and it is the princes who sacrifice mountains and rivers. They all belong to the jurisdiction of the son of heaven. "
The messenger was impressed by Confucius' erudition and asked the last key question: "Excuse me, sir, what does Fang Feng keep?" Confucius replied, "Listen to me slowly. Fang Feng is the monarch of Wang Mang. Keep the seal, the mountain in the mountain. Their god's surname is Li. In Yu, Xia is called Fang Feng, Shang is called Wang Mang, and Zhou is called Chang Di. Now it is a big country. " The messenger asked again, "How high is that adult country?" Confucius said, "Yao Min is a dwarf, three feet tall. He is the shortest man. Adults are only ten times taller than them, about three feet, which is the limit of human height. "
Hearing this, the envoy of Wu looked a bit like a monk in Zhang Er-he was at a loss. However, the more he didn't understand, the more he admired, and he repeatedly praised and said, "Good! All right! What a saint! "
To tell the truth, Confucius' answer is full of fallacies and contradictions. In China, there is a traditional idea that knowledge is proportional to age, and the older you get, the richer your knowledge will be. Knowledge is the exclusive product of celebrities or powerful people. The more famous, the more powerful and knowledgeable. In fact, Confucius is not an expert in this field, and his answer barely passed, just touching the edge.
On the contrary, Fang Feng's story circulating among the people sounds absurd, but it contains more truth elements. According to an ancient book named Yi Shu, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a windbreak temple in Wu Yue, in which the statues of windbreak were all very strange, with an eyebrow and an ear, one foot and three feet long. And at that time, all the phoenix surnames in southern Sichuan were their descendants, and they were all very tall. Another ancient book, Natural History, said that people in "adult countries" had white hair when they were born after 36 years of pregnancy. They are so high that they can only ride clouds instead of walking, because they are "dragons" and so on.
According to experts' research, from a global perspective, the stories of giant bones are mostly related to behemoth fossils. This fossil was discovered by primitive people, who did not understand it, described, narrated, exaggerated and deified it, and produced many legends of giants. Even modern people can't avoid this illusion and imagination. It is said that; & gt Adam and Eve are both giants in the novel. A Catholic priest used the fossils of behemoths to anatomically calculate that Adam's body length was 123 feet 9 inches, and Eve's body length was 1 18 feet 9 inches 9 minutes, which was really convincing and serious.
It should be said that the giant bone called "Fang" must be a kind of behemoth fossil, and it is most likely a dinosaur fossil in ancient times. According to the archaeological findings in China, the largest number of dinosaur fossils have been unearthed in Hechuan, Sichuan, which seems to have some internal relationship with the southern wind experts in Sichuan. The people of this tribe may be tall, and they exaggerate the dinosaur fossils unearthed as their ancestors, thus producing many magical and grotesque legends. Interestingly, the long-necked dragons unearthed in Suixian County, Hubei Province arranged in the tomb of Zeng Houyi in the Warring States Period are very similar to dinosaurs. The same is true of the long-necked dragon on the Han Dynasty brick catamaran unearthed in Honglou, Tongshan County, Jiangsu Province. Perhaps the ancients really saw a few surviving dinosaur fossils to speculate and shape the image of this dragon; It is still purely coincidental, and it is difficult for us to assert. According to Records of Historical Records Confucius Family, in 2 198 BC, Yu Xia, the top leader of the Central Plains Huaxia Tribal Military Alliance, toured the area south of the Yangtze River and held a meeting of local governors in today's Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing. Because Fang Feng's family once dissuaded and opposed Yu's attempt to destroy the original democratic demise system and passed it on to his son Qi, Yu killed Fang Feng's family for being late for the meeting, which created the first eternal unjust case in China history. The ancestors of Windbreak have moved out and fled, and Windbreak has gradually declined. ...
People always praise Yu Xia, but they avoid an important fact, that is, Yu Xia insisted on "creating a precedent of hereditary system".
From this point of view, Fang Feng is a fighter with primitive democratic consciousness. My grandmother Deqing, a land of plenty of fish and rice, was once a lonely and free land in ancient times.
Fang went by crane west dejectedly. Only 4,000 years ago, the "baked bean tea" of the ancient wind-proof country was still circulated among the people in Deqing, Zhejiang. Some scholars believe that the spread of "Fangfeng Tea" is also a strong evidence of the area where ancient Fangfeng countries belonged.
Now, at the foot of Mount Durfeng, Sanhe Township, Deqing, on the original site of the Fangfeng King Temple on the Zhu Xia Lake, the Fangfeng Temple has been rebuilt and a Fangfeng statue has been cast. In front of the temple, a monument was erected. The inscription reads as follows:
Fangfeng shencha Ji
My hometown is the border of an ancient windproof country. According to legend, the wind is protected by Yu's order to control water, which is difficult to express. People in the village make tea with orange peel and wild sesame seeds to remove water, and bake green beans to make tea. Fangfeng accidentally poured the beans into the tea soup and ate them, then the power increased greatly and the water control was successful. This way of eating tea, passed down from generation to generation, has become a rural style. The origin of this baked bean tea is also the reputation of windproof tea. However, condiments vary from place to place, such as fried soybeans, orange peel, dried bamboo shoots and carrots. But they are all served later than the baked bean tea here. Jiaming, produced in the city, recorded tea classics with more distinctive flavor, which should be crowned as the birthplace of baked bean tea in China. In order to commemorate this monument, Cai, a tea man, planned it, and the county and township leaders were responsible for it and passed it on for a long time.
Guo Yongshu Dan was written by Bingzi in October. Since then, every year on the 25th day of the eighth lunar month, countless villagers spontaneously come to worship Fang Feng's family.
After Fang Feng's death, Fang Feng's ancient civilization was still circulated among the people. Extending to the Tang and Song Dynasties, Shangbai Hongji, more than ten miles west of Toure, and many temples around it were influenced by the tea culture of ancient windbreak countries and advocated tea ceremony. According to legend, Lu Yu, Su Shi, Shen Kuo, Emperor Kangxi and other famous people have been to Toure, Sanhe and Luoshe to inspect local conditions and customs.
However, in the long years, the abdication system that Fang Feng fought for all his life has been replaced by hereditary system, which lasted for more than 4,000 years. Tasting salty tea and chewing tough mung bean orange peel, I actually smelled the bitterness of blood and sweat. I think that Fang Feng's family will die unsatisfied-perhaps, he left this "windproof tea" just to wash the hearts of the world. Nowadays, the flavor of Jiangnan baked bean tea is still the same, however, the wind-proof character is hard to find.
