Do you know the entrepreneurial story of the first strong woman in China history? Let me introduce you!
These well-known idioms, such as "the beauty of Qin Jin, the beauty in a golden house, and the appearance of a monarch", are all products of political marriage. The feudal marriage system of marrying women for political purposes and forming alliances with each other sounds extremely sad, but there are also many happy endings.
The earliest political marriages in history were the ancestors of the Chinese nation, Huangdi and Leizu.
The love story of Lei Zu, Princess of the Yellow Emperor, has been circulated in many parts of the country. Leizu stayed in Yijun, Tongchuan.
The most comprehensive record of Leizu's entrepreneurial story corridor.
Looking for a day, as night falls, Yijun City, located above the mountains, is brightly lit, and pedestrians are lonely and unusually quiet. Driving up Kameyama and arriving at Kameyama Ecological Park, a "Leizu Story Corridor" looms large.
Antique blue bricks and green tiles, thin columns divide the promenade into squares, and the reliefs carved from 38 pieces of bluestone stand inside, occupying the east, north and west directions of the ecological park. Looking at these reliefs carefully, Gu Zhuo is majestic, and each reliefs has a story.
The entrepreneurial story of the first strong woman in China history
A closer look reveals the legend of Lei Zusheng vividly in a vivid and amiable Picture of Lei Zusheng.
The wife of the head clan of Xiling Rong is pregnant 17 months and can't bear children. One day, after eating mulberries under a mulberry tree, it was another heavy rain. Rainbow Wan Li, red clouds enveloped the whole tribe. A pair of phoenixes flew from the roof and Leizu landed. Her father suspected that she had caused great pain to her mother, so he named it "Yong", which means "drag".
Later Xiling Tribe Map, Hunting Map and Crops Map vividly described the living environment of the ancient Xiling clan and reflected the prosperity of the Rong clan. These reliefs not only recorded Leizu's life in detail, but also showed the social, political and life features at that time.
How did the Yellow Emperor become attached to Lei Zu?
According to the local people, the "Xiling Rongzu" born in Lei Zu occupied the mountainous and hilly areas north of Weishui, west of Luohe and south of Qushui in Qiao Shan. Huangdi lived in Jishui, Xuanyuan Mountain (in the northwest of xinzheng city). How to get married after a long journey?
Look at these reliefs. Visiting Xuanyuan, meeting Qushui and marrying Leizu completely reflect the process of the acquaintance, love and combination between Huangdi and Leizu.
One day, Xuanyuan stepped into the Dijon tribe, "We look at the green trees around your village and the pale blue of the surrounding mountains", and was welcomed by the Dijon leader of Xiling family. He made a Covenant of friendship and resistance, and at the same time, he especially liked this young man.
At that time, He Ju River near Huangling City was rich in aquatic products, which was the main producing area of Xiling aquatic products. The industrious Lei Zu often hunts on the water. Xuanyuan met Leizu by chance in his contact with Xiling. They fell in love at first sight and decided to be together for life.
Xuanyuan submitted a marriage certificate to the head of Xiling Rong clan, who probably didn't like to drag down his mother's daughter. At the same time, considering the alliance, he quickly agreed to Xuanyuan's proposal and formed a political marriage relationship from then on.
When Lei Zu got married, he wore a kenaf hijab on his head and sat in a simple wooden sedan chair. Xuanyuan's affection for Leizu is unparalleled. At the wedding banquet, Xuanyuan first put forward the idea of governing the country by virtue and by family.
How was the sericulture reeling technology born?
Legend has it that after Leizu got married, he helped Xuanyuan manage the inner room, overworked and bedridden, and visited famous doctors. After a long period of treatment, Xuanyuan and the girls are very worried. After the girls found the mulberry, Lei Zu took the medicine and got better.
One day, a waitress picked up a basket of wild cocoons in the mulberry field, and a doctor said, you can try them with cocoons and pupae. The maid cooked the cocoon and took the pupa according to the doctor's instructions. When picking up the cooked cocoon, take a filament as the head and slowly pull it out until the silk emerges as a pupa.
Lying in the hospital bed, a group of people saw this process and had a brainwave. People think that if soft silk is woven into silk clothes, it will be light and beautiful, so an important discovery has been made.
After his illness, Lei Zu organized people to trim mulberry fields, cultivate silkworm eggs and domesticate wild silkworms, so there was a plan to plant mulberry and raise silkworms. The first strong woman in China started her entrepreneurial journey.
Leizu also organized skilled craftsmen to learn looms, and the silk clothes woven were first popularized in Xiling tribe.
The story is shown with 10 pictures. It is found that sericulture, mulberry picking, silkworm boiling, silkworm painting, mulberry moving, silkworm rearing, weaving machine invention and garment making are the key contents of Lei Zu's story corridor, which is used to praise Lei Zu's development of silkworm reeling, silk weaving, weaving machine, printing and dyeing, and garment making.
On the other hand, the combination of Leizu and Huangdi is not a simple wedding. Xiling kingdom and Huangdi tribe gradually came together on the premise of marriage. The Yellow Emperor tribe in the Central Plains didn't know how to raise silkworms. Lei Zu brought advanced sericulture and reeling technology to the Central Plains.
After learning sericulture and reeling techniques and farming techniques, the Huangdi tribe gradually became stronger and moved eastward. At this time, the Huangdi tribe is no longer a backward nomadic people.
It can be said that this political wedding thousands of years ago changed the face and process of Chinese civilization.
Reeling silk opens Chinese etiquette civilization
Legend has it that after Emperor Xuanyuan conquered the world, although there were other ladies-in-waiting, he had great respect for Lei Zu. The Yellow Emperor ruled from outside, while Lei Zu ruled from inside.
The Yellow Emperor manages the government affairs, civil affairs, territory and punishment of the country. At that time, he was surrounded by a group of conscientious old ministers, who were rich in knowledge and experience and were the right-hand men of the Yellow Emperor. At that time, there were officials who specially guided the farming of the four seasons. From nomadism to farming is a great progress of Huangdi tribe.
The tribe may have tasted the sweetness of farming and opened up farmland without running around. The country gradually has its own fixed farmland, and everyone has their own farmland. It is said that the later well-field system sprouted from this time.
At this time, Leizu played the role of a wife again. She often said to her people, "Agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the country." Lei Zu, who is hardworking and clever, often leads women up the mountain to peel bark, weave hemp nets and peel the fur of various wild animals hunted by men.
Soon, tribal leaders of all sizes put on clothes, shoes and hats, and bid farewell to the era of "eating animals and drinking blood" completely. Lei Zu believes that men should follow certain customs when they get married, and women should also get married. Respect for the elderly and love for the young should have certain manners, so she formulated these customs and manners. In China, everyone is polite and well dressed, and the society is stable and peaceful.
Therefore, without Lei Zu's sericulture and reeling skills, there would be no long-standing etiquette system and civilization of the Chinese nation, and even if there were, it would be many years later.
At that time, no one in China, whether it was the Central Plains at the foot of the emperor or the surrounding ethnic minorities, did not miss Lei Zu's contribution, saying that she helped the Yellow Emperor manage the country in an orderly way; Because she invented sericulture and textile, she was honored as the silkworm god and the first silkworm in China by later generations.
There are different opinions about Xiling, the birthplace of Leizu. Leizu's story is only presented in this relief form as a memorial. The marriage between Huangdi and Leizu is true. This trip to Guishan Garden is amazing, and even more amazing is to admire the greatness and wisdom of our ancestors!
