Legend of Chiyou:
Chiyou is the legendary leader of the Jiuli tribe in the east (belonging to the Dongyi group). Chiyou has eighty-one brothers (that is, eighty-one clans), with copper heads and iron foreheads. During the battle with the Yellow Emperor in the Wilderness of Zhuolu, Chi You acted in such a way that clouds and mists spread everywhere, and the Yellow Emperor’s sergeant couldn’t tell the direction. Later, Huangdi built a compass car to indicate the direction, which caused Chiyou to be defeated and killed. The Battle of Zhuolu ended with the victory of the Yellow Emperor.
After the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, many princes wanted to support him as the Son of Heaven. However, the descendants of Emperor Yan were unwilling to submit to the Yellow Emperor and provoked wars several times, especially Chi. Chi You is the grandson of Emperor Yan. It is said that Chi Yousheng was brutal and warlike.
He had eighty-one brothers, all of whom were beasts who could speak human words, each with a copper head and an iron forehead, who used stone and iron for food. Chiyou originally belonged to the Yellow Emperor, but after the defeat of Emperor Yan, Chiyou discovered copper mines at the foot of Mount Lu.
They made the copper into swords, spears, halberds, shields and other weapons, and the military was powerful, so they became ambitious to avenge Emperor Yan. . Chi You united Feng Bo, Yu Shi and the Kuafu tribe, and came to challenge the Yellow Emperor aggressively. Huang Disheng loved the people and did not want to fight, and always wanted to persuade Chiyou to truce. But Chi You did not listen to the advice and repeatedly violated the boundary.
Huang Di had no choice but to sigh: “If I lose the world and Chiyou takes over the world, my subjects will suffer. If I tolerate Chiyou, it will be a disaster for raising tigers. Now he is not benevolent, he just violates, and I have no choice but to punish him. Righteousness!” So the Yellow Emperor personally led his troops to fight against Chi You. The Yellow Emperor first sent the general Yinglong to fight. Yinglong can fly and spray water from its mouth.
As soon as it goes into battle, it will fly into the sky and spray water into Chiyou’s formation commandingly. In an instant, the water was turbulent, and the waves rushed towards Chi You. Chi You was busy sending Feng Bo Yu Shi to go into battle. Feng Bo and Yu Shi, one blew a gust of wind all over the sky, and the other collected the water sprayed by Yinglong. In turn, the two of them exerted divine might, and the wind and rain hit the Huangdi formation.
Yinglong could only spray water but not collect it. As a result, the Yellow Emperor was defeated. Soon, the Yellow Emperor reorganized his army, revitalized his military prestige, and confronted Chiyou again. The Yellow Emperor took the lead, leading his troops into Chiyou’s formation. Chiyou cast a spell this time, breathing smoke and mist, covering the Yellow Emperor and his army. The Yellow Emperor’s army was unable to discern the direction, could not see the enemy, and was trapped in the smoke, unable to kill the siege.
At this critical juncture, Huang Di had an idea and suddenly raised his head to see the Big Dipper in the sky. The handle of the bucket turned but the head of the bucket remained motionless. Based on this principle, he invented a compass car and identified a direction. Only then did Huang Di lead the army out. encircled.
In this way, Huangdi and Chiyou fought seventy-one battles one after another, and the result was that Huangdi won less and lost more, and Huangdi was very anxious. On this day, Huangdi thought hard about the method of defeating Chiyou, and fell asleep unconsciously, dreaming that Jiutian Xuannv handed him a military book, saying: “Take it back and memorize the military talisman by heart, you will defeat the enemy in battle!”, After all, float away.
When Huang Di woke up, he found that he really had a copy of the “Yang Fu Jing” in his hand. When I opened it, I saw a few hieroglyphs painted on it: “Tianyi is in front, Taiyi is in the back.” , Two escapes to control the sun, the exercise changes, and it becomes an array of 1,800, which is called “Tianyi Dunjia” array. Huang Di was familiar with the drill, and he led his troops to fight Chiyou again. In order to boost the military might, the Yellow Emperor decided to use the military drum to boost morale.
He inquired about a Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea. On the mountain lived a slow beast called Kui, whose roar sounded like thunder. The Yellow Emperor sent someone to capture Kui and peel off its skin to make a drum surface. The Yellow Emperor also sent someone to capture the thunder beast in Lei Ze, and took the largest bone from it as a drumstick. Legend has it that the Kui Niu Drum can vibrate for 500 li when it is struck, and it can vibrate for 3,800 li in a row.
The Yellow Emperor also made eighty drums out of cowhide, which made the army more powerful. In order to completely defeat Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor specially summoned his daughter, Nyu, to help him in the battle. The nun is a god of drought, who knows how to harvest clouds and relieve rain.
Usually, live in the remote Kunlun Mountains. Huang Di arranged a good lineup and fought Chiyou again. When the two armies confronted each other, the Yellow Emperor ordered the battle drums to be beaten, and the eighty cowhide drums and Kui cowhide drums sounded, and the sound was earth-shattering. The soldiers of the Yellow Emperor were more courageous when they heard the drums; Chiyou’s soldiers lost their souls when they heard the drums.
Seeing that he was about to lose, Chiyou and his eighty-one brothers exerted divine might and fought fiercely and bravely. The two armies were killed together, until the mountains shook, the sun shook and the stars fell, and it was indistinguishable. Seeing that Chiyou was really difficult to deal with, the Yellow Emperor ordered Yinglong to spray water. Yinglong opened his huge mouth, and the river-like water jetted out from top to bottom.
Chi You was unprepared, and was swept up on his back. He also hurriedly ordered Feng Bo Yushi to set off a violent storm to hit the Yellow Emperor’s formation, only to see the flood on the ground skyrocketing and the waves to the sky, the situation was very urgent. At this time, the maiden went into battle, and she cast a magical gift, and a rolling heat wave radiated from her in an instant. Wherever she went, the wind stopped and the rain disappeared, and the scorching sun was on the front.
Feng Bo and Yu Shi had nothing to do and hurriedly lost. The Yellow Emperor led his army to catch up and killed him for a while, but Chiyou was defeated and fled. Chiyou’s head was as hard as bronze, and he used iron and stone as his food. He could fly in the air, walking on the cliffs and cliffs as if on the ground, and the Yellow Emperor could not catch him. When chasing the middle of Jizhou, Huang Di’s inspiration suddenly appeared, and he ordered people to beat Kui Niu Drum vigorously for nine times. At this time, Chi You suddenly lost his soul and was unable to walk, and was caught by Huang Di.
The Yellow Emperor ordered Chiyou to be put on a shackle and killed. Fearing that he would do something wrong after his death, he buried his body and head in two places. After Chiyou died, the shackles on his body were taken off and thrown on the barren mountain, turning into a maple forest, and every maple leaf was bloodstained on Chiyou shackles.
After Huangdi defeated Chiyou, all the feudal lords honored him as the emperor, this is Xuanyuan (the name of Huangdi) Huangdi. Xuanyuan Huangdi led the people to reclaim farmland and settled in the Central Plains, laying the foundation of the Chinese nation.
Chi You contributed:
◎Kengrao Huangcheng? 1 clan, commanding the Jiuli tribe, forming a powerful clan, despising Shaohao to cut down on Kongsang; defeating Emperor Yan to make it all but daunting; daring to fight against Huangdi, winning nine battles and nine victories, really mega-zhen A great hero from all directions. Although Huangdi recruited the princes of the world and finally defeated Chiyou, Chiyou was still admired by Huangdi at that time, and he was also admired by emperors and Xiangmin thousands of years later.
“Records of the Grand Historian, The Chronicles of Five Emperors, Justice” quotes “Dragon Fish River Map”: “The Yellow Emperor is the regent, and there are eighty-one Chiyou brothers… Build up soldiers, knives, halberds and big crossbows, powerful and powerful in the world, killing without justice, without mercy.
The people wanted to make the Yellow Emperor do the things of the Son of Heaven, but the Yellow Emperor could not prohibit Chiyou because of his benevolence and righteousness. Later, when the world was disturbed again, the Yellow Emperor painted the image of Chiyou to command the world, and the world said that Chiyou would never die, and all nations in all directions would be subjugated.”
Although people regard Chiyou as a failed hero, and there are many derogations in the text, but this sentence Still talking about some real situations. “Building up soldiers with swords, halberds and big crossbows, and making the world powerful.” This is to say that Chiyou’s weapons were so good at that time that Huangdi had no choice but to “sigh up to the sky”.
Although Huangdi finally subdued Chiyou, but because Chiyou was really good at using troops, and he created advanced weapons, Huangdi made special use of it, making him in charge of military power “to control all directions”. In particular, “after Chiyou is gone, the world will be disturbed again.” The Yellow Emperor ordered other generals to disguise themselves as Chiyou’s image. The meaning here is very clear, it is the princes of all countries who are disturbing the world.
The generals under the Yellow Emperor are like clouds, and there are many military experts. It is said that there are many “books of war” left in the world, but they cannot stop the “re-disturbance of the world”, but hearing the name of Chiyou can immediately convince them. This not only shows that Chiyou is the real hero of all countries in all directions, but also shows his influence and status among the princes of all countries at that time.
“Guanzi·Dishu” said: “After decades of repair, the mountain of Gelu has grown and produced water, and the gold has followed it, and Chiyou has taken it and made it as an armored spear and halberd. And when the water comes out, the gold follows it, and Chiyou takes it and controls it as the halberd of Yonghu and Rui Ge. It is the twelve princes who are both in the same age.” “Liu Zi: Military Art” also said that Chiyou “wrong gold for the blade, and cutting leather for the sword.” First”.
When Chiyou developed copper smelting technology, he could manufacture many kinds of metal weapons, and he could use leather to make armor. These are great contributions to the military. Because of its excellent weapons, 21 princes were merged in two years, expanding their territory and enhancing their strength. The term “cultivation for decades” has a very deep meaning, and it can be argued that it refers to the long-term governance and education within the clan.
In “Shangshu·Lu Xing”, it is said that Chi You punished the Miao people. It is also said that the Miao people used Chiyou to impose punishment. This shows that there are indeed laws and regulations within the Chiyou group. “Guanzi·Five Elements” says: “The Yellow Emperor obtained the six signs and ruled the heaven and the earth, and the gods are here. Chi You clearly calls out the way of heaven, so he entrusts it to the time.” The annotation says: “It means knowing what the time of the sky should be.” It means that Chi You is good at observing the phenomena of the sky. guide farming.
Judging from the above situation, in addition to Chiyou himself being resourceful, resourceful and brave, his contributions to society can be summarized as follows: First, the Chiyou Group has formulated regulations and criminal laws to maintain social stability; second, he invented copper smelting technology ; Third, he created various metal weapons; fourth, Chi You was good at observing the sky and guiding farming. The agricultural foundation is strong, otherwise, he would not be able to supply the clan itself, nor would he be able to fight year after year.
Therefore, in terms of agricultural production, Chi You can at least say that he is on a par with the Yanhuang clan; Contribution; Sixth, it has played an immeasurable role in the integration and unity of the tribe and social stability. On the whole, the Chiyou Group has made outstanding contributions to the emergence of Chinese civilization and the formation of the early Huaxia people.
