In recent articles, there is a man who wholesales a picture of Nuwa from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. This picture is provoking my aesthetics and challenging my lower limit.

So I specially opened a chapter, talking about the human head and snake body, which is only my own opinion.

First of all, when talking about human heads and snake bodies, who is the first thing that comes to mind?

Nuwa, Fuxi, and Zhulong are nothing more than these top bosses in the Shanhai era.

Of course, Zhulong's position is not enough to be on par with Fuxi and Nuwa, because Fuxi and Nuwa both have the imperial title, but Zhulong does not. This is the essential difference. Regarding "Emperor", I will write another chapter later. I must complain about some ancient translations, and I will translate "Emperor" into the Emperor of Heaven at any time.

Zhulong, the record in the Mountains and Seas Classics, is that the god of Zhongshan, named Zhuyin, is regarded as day, close to night, blowing into winter, calling into summer, not drinking, not eating, never resting, and breathing into wind. His body is thousands of miles away. He is in the east of nothing. It is a thing, human face, snake body, and red, and lives at the foot of Zhongshan.

The human head and snake body are thousands of miles long and red. This description makes it impossible to imagine Zhulong as a big snake with a human head. I have no objection to it. Anyway, Zhulong’s magical power is those eyes. There is no ancient book that says Zhulong is a one-eyed person. I don’t understand why some works paint Zhulong as a one-eyed person. Just because they have a cow, they have only one eye left?

No one has any objection to the image of Zhulong, but I firmly oppose this image without beauty and put it on Fuxi and Nuwa, the ancestors of China’s humanities.

In fact, not only I object, our ancestors did not think that Fuxi and Nuwa were just snakes holding human heads.

The Han Dynasty portrait bricks unearthed in many places, and the Nuwa Fuxi statues on the stones are all human and snake tails, and only the lower body is snake tails.

There is also the Fuxi Nuwa picture selected for the second season of the National Treasure, and the image of Fuxi Nuwa on it is also a human body and snake tail.

In addition to these ancient portraits, there are also the myths and legends of Nuwa creating humans and repairing the sky, if there is only a snake tail, how can Nuwa complete these?

Fuxi's achievements, based on the changes of the world, invented and created the gossip of divination and created the text to end the history of "knot ropes to record events". The knot ropes were used as nets to catch birds and hunt, and taught people how to fish and hunt, invented the ser, and created the song.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just knotted ropes into nets, but how to complete the snake’s tail? So, to sum up, our ancestor of humanities, Nuwa Fuxi, is the human body and snake tail.

(The record of Nuwa changing seventy a day can logically explain how the great gods use the snake body to complete the things described in the myth, but please ignore it. Their true nature is human body and snake tail, that's it, that's right.)

After the image explanation of Fuxi and Nuwa is completed, let’s talk about other existences in myths and legends that possess human heads and snake bodies.

I have only read a part of the Shanhai Jing at present, so

"Overseas Western Classic": Xuanyuan Kingdom, when he was poor in the mountains, he was 800 years old. In the north of the woman country, he had a human face and a snake body, and his tail was crossed to his head.

"The Great Wilderness Western Classic": There is the Xuanyuan Kingdom. It is auspicious to live in the south of the country, and those who do not live long will be eight hundred years old.

This is the first time many people have heard of this Xuanyuan Kingdom. Xuanyuan is familiar with it, but this Xuanyuan Kingdom should have no connection with Xuanyuan Huangdi.

In addition to Xuanyuan Kingdom, there is also a human head and snake body, which is very famous.

Huaxu, born Fuxi and Nuwa, "walking on the traces of giants, his mind moved, and the rainbow stood around him, so he began to be pregnant. He was born in Chengji and took King Wood and was named Feng's surname."

The Huaxu family comes from the Huaxu Kingdom, and there are many related records, and the most famous one should be "Liezi Huangdi"

(Huangdi) sleeps on a day and sleeps in the country of Huaxu. The country of Huaxu is west of Yanzhou and north of Taizhou. It is not a place where the boats and cars can travel tens of thousands of miles away. It is not just a place where the boats and cars can travel. The country has no commanders and longs, and it is natural. The people have no desires and nature. They do not know how to live happily, and they do not know how to die evilly, so they do not have a young life. They do not know how to be close to oneself, and they do not know how to be careless. They do not know how to betray and do not know how to behave, so they do not care about anything. They do not know how to betray and do not know how to behave according to their own eyes, and they do not know how to behave according to their own things, so they do not care about anything. They do not care about anything, and they do not drown when they enter water, and they do not heat when they enter fire, and they do not hurt when they cut down, and they do not hurt when they pick them up. They take advantage of the air to walk in a solid footstep, and they do not sleep in a forest. The clouds and mist do not hinder their eyes, the thunder does not disturb their hearing, the beauty and evil do not slip away their hearts, and the valley does not measure their steps, and the spirit moves.

From the current perspective, the Huaxu Kingdom describes the ideal country of the ancients. But I made up stories, so I look at the magical powers of the people of the Huaxu Kingdom described in it.

Not happy to live, not hate death, no young death - immortality

Don’t be close to yourself, don’t be apart from things, don’t care about things - don’t have seven emotions and six desires? The realm of immortals and gods?

If you enter the water, you will not drown, if you enter the fire, you will not feel hurt, if you cut the tart, you will not feel pain, if you pick it, you will not feel pain. If you take advantage of the air, you will be in a solid footsteps, and if you sleep in a forest, you will not hinder your sight, you will not disturb your hearing, you will not slid your heart, you will not measure your steps in the valley, you will only move your spirit.

——Water and fire cannot invade, whip cannot feel pain, touch it does not feel it, flying in the sky is like walking on the ground, sleeping is like being in a forest, clouds and mist cannot block the sight, thunder cannot interfere with its hearing, no matter whether it is beautiful or evil, it cannot change its heart, and the valley cannot stop its footsteps.

How to say it, just look at these descriptions, it feels that the Kingdom of Huaxu is the Kingdom of God, and everyone is a God in the Kingdom where God lives. The key is that this kind of God seems to have no emotions and six desires.

Well, another thing I want to complain is that I can't find the relevant information about Huaxu Kingdom I found before. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I remember there was a description at that time: Huaxu Kingdom eats phoenix eggs, and Xuanyuan Kingdom also has related records, which I can find.

"Bowuzhi": Xuanyuan Kingdom, when he was poor, his life was eight hundred years old. In the wilderness of heaven, he danced with phoenixes and birds. People ate phoenix eggs and drank nectar.

I thought about this phoenix egg for a long time and felt a little unhappy. After all, the symbol and status of the phoenix are there. However, after looking through some of the Shanhai Sutra, I felt relieved because I found a reasonable explanation.

"Shan Hai Jing·The Great Wilderness West Classic": There are three five-collection birds, one is the emperor bird, one is the phoenix bird, and the other is the phoenix bird.

There is a bird with colorful feathers. It has three names: one is the yellow bird, the one is the egg bird, and the other is the phoenix bird.

The so-called phoenix egg eating may be eaten by the eggs of a colorful bird, and there are not many colorful birds in the Shanhai Jing.

And the phoenix is ​​called the Phoenix Emperor in the Mountains and Seas.

"Nanci San Jing": There is a bird in the mountain in Danzuo. Its shape is like a chicken. Its five-colored and written is called Fenghuang. The first text is called virtue, the wing text is called righteousness, the back text is called righteousness, the wing text is called beren, and the belly text is called Xin. This is a bird, which is natural in food and drink, and sings and dances by itself. If you see it, the world will be peaceful.
