Portrait of Cang Xie

Objective In the historical picture, Cang Xie is a figure between myth and legend. He is an ancient sage from the perspectives of mythology, ethnology and folklore. In history, he was called "Yan Longmu" and "Sound with Ruide" (on the balance and the stone green spring and autumn period), and his outstanding achievement was "taking the literary generation as the beginning to settle politics". The creation of this "secret weapon" of human beings makes it "raining in the sky, crying at night, hiding in hiding" ("Huainanzi"), which can be called a heroic pioneering work that makes the gods cry.

Cang Xie was the assistant of the Yellow Emperor in the late primitive society of China. He once collected, sorted out and used the characters circulated among ancestors, which played an important role in the creation of Chinese characters and made immortal contributions to the reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation. [4]

Cang Xie, a native of Shihuangshi, was born in wucun, west of Nanle County18km. At that time, writing was needed to make calendars, and writing was also needed to make Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Therefore, Cang Xie should come from Zhuan Xu tribe. He was "born in Sri Lanka and buried in Sri Lanka", so there is Cangjieling in Taipei.

This prehistoric legend has never been mentioned in the ancient books of China before the Warring States Period. Cang Xie was first mentioned by Xun Qing during the Warring States Period. Followed by Lu's Chunqiu and Han Feizi, which are based on Xunzi's "so many people write good books, one person writes", and their main point is "writing books". After the Han Dynasty, in Huai Nan Zi and Lun Heng, it has developed from "Cangjie's creation of characters" to "Cang Xie's four eyes" and began to be deified. Especially in the Han Dynasty, Shu Wei further exaggerates Cang Xie's "being born with the ability to write, but also being recorded by the river, which has changed since the ancient times, looking up at the music trend of Kuixing, overlooking the feathers of fish and birds, knowing the mountains and rivers, and making words" ("Spring and Autumn Life Bud"). Later, it became more and more magical and developed into a legend that Cang Xie was "the historian of the Yellow Emperor". Huangdi was one of the leaders of tribal alliances in the late primitive society. At that time, there was no state machine. It can be seen that the theory of "historian" is obviously the result of later generations using the official name of the state machine for prehistoric legends. [4]

Cang Xie wrote a book, but it rained all day and the ghost cried at night! As soon as the words came out, human beings turned from wild years to civilized life.

According to Lu's explanation, comment and analysis of Chunqiu, JUNSHOU is said to be the historian of the Yellow Emperor and the creator of Chinese characters. He is revered as the ancestor of Chinese characters by later generations, but it is generally believed that Cang Xie's creation of Chinese characters is only a legend, but he may be the organizer of Chinese characters.

The surname is Hou Gang, Jia and Shi Huangshi. 1 10 years old, Zuo Shi of Xuanyuan Huangdi. The creator of primitive hieroglyphics in China and one of the pioneers of official surname system in China. Legend has it that he looked up at the sky and looked down on everything, creating the book of bird tracks, which shocked the world and was called the ancestor of mankind. The Yellow Emperor felt that he was very successful, so he named him Cang (Cang), which means that one person is superior and the other is inferior. As the word-making in Cangjie was very rewarding, the Jade Emperor also gave the world a Grain Rain as a consolation, which is now the "Grain Rain" solar term. After Cang Xie's death, the local people built a temple in front of his grave and named the village "Shiguan Village".

In the Cang Xie Temple built in the Han Dynasty, there is a "Cang Xie Bird Traces Book Monument" with 28 grotesque symbols engraved on the black stone monument. According to legend, this is the prototype of hieroglyphics made by Cang Xie in those days. These books are made up of small figures and pictures. This is the earliest hieroglyph in the world. 1984 was deciphered as "Wu Jijia and B, who were friends in the first place, stopped in the world, made great achievements, stayed with X families, and were honored by Chishui, but Mao Ge still exists".

Legend has it that Cang Xie was the minister of the Yellow Emperor. He created characters based on the footprints of birds and other animals. China people think that writing is magical, so they regard Cang Xie as a master of writing. Cang Xie's birthday is on the second day of the third lunar month.

In ancient times, people cherished writing and paper very much. Once found on the road, collect them together and send them to a special stove for burning. This kind of special stove is called Zizhi Pavilion, which is usually built near Confucius Temple, Wenchang Dijun Temple, or government agencies, schools and other institutions. In the past, scholars kept waste paper baskets in their study, and when it piled up, they burned it.

Word paper kiosks vary in size, the highest is 5 meters, and they are generally built in multi-storey towers. On the birthdays of Emperor Wenchang and Cang Xie, people always hold sacrificial ceremonies in front of Zizhi Pavilion.

According to another record, Cang Xie, also known as Hou, Jia and Shi Huangshi, was the legendary historian of the Yellow Emperor and the creator of Chinese characters, and was honored as the ancestor of Chinese characters by later generations. However, it is generally believed that Cang Xie's creation of Chinese characters is only a legend, but he may be the organizer of Chinese characters.

According to historical records, "Cang Xie wrote two volumes of books, which were destroyed by fire in the Sui Dynasty, with only 28 words left". These 28 words were deciphered in the Song Dynasty as "Wu has been A and B, ranking first and sharing friends, stopping in the world, becoming famous in the world, staying at home with each other, being respected by Chishui and being overwhelmed". Twenty-eight characters themselves contain pictographs, meanings and so on. In the word-forming methods of Chinese characters, such as "column, qi, name, respect" and so on. And some words are the same as Oracle Bone Inscriptions. On the surface, the 28 words on the tablet are not related to each other, but a careful study records a period of history of the Yellow Emperor. According to five lines of gossip's analysis, Jia Mu is in the east and Wuji is in the middle. According to the records of the five emperors, Yan Di has a sacred virtue, that is, the king of fire. The Yellow Emperor has virtue of soil, and the soil is yellow, so it is called the Yellow Emperor, living in Zhuolu, and is located in the central position, so it is Wuji. "Being in the first place, sharing friends, stopping in the world, is famous for its style." Describe that the Emperor Yanhuang was a tribal leader, and what they did was a model for all the small tribes in the world. "Stay at home with each other, respect Chishui and overwhelm Mao Ge" describes the Yellow Emperor's conquest of Yan Di and suppression of the Chiyou rebellion. When peace was restored in the world, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Yellow Emperor became the tribal leader in the world. In addition, in the gate, front hall, middle hall and bedroom hall, plaques carefully written by Yu Youren, Qiu Xing and Xie Deping are hung to praise the holy spirits of Wen Zu and Cang Xie.

One legend is that ...

According to ancient books, Cang Xie had a "long face and bright brain". According to legend, Cang Xie also used knots to take notes. Although the knots are different in size and shape, they are difficult to identify with the passage of time, which once led to the failure of negotiations between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di. Therefore, Cang Xie felt deeply guilty, so he resigned from his post, traveled around, visited wise men all over the world, and sought a good way to keep records. A few years later, he returned to his hometown and lived alone in a deep ditch in the west of the village. He looked up at the curved direction of Kuixing, overlooking the texture of turtle's back, the paw prints of birds and animals, the shape of mountains and rivers, and the fingerprints of palms, from which he got inspiration, created hieroglyphics according to the shape of things, and opened a new era of human civilization.

Cang Xie is the originator of Chinese characters. It is said that Cang Xie "began to change the book contract into a rope". He is a historian of the Yellow Emperor. He worked hard for decades to collect, sort out and popularize hieroglyphics circulated among ancestors, which played a decisive role in the creation of Chinese characters and made immortal contributions to the reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation. Later generations called him "the emperor of history" and "the sage on China's head".

According to historical legends, Cang Xie was a historian of the Yellow Emperor. Inspired by the footprints of birds and animals, he concentrated the wisdom of the working people and created Chinese characters in Changli Village, ending the ignorance era of wood carving and knotting objects and opening up a new era of human evolution history of the Chinese nation. On the day when I finished writing, the whole country rejoiced and moved to heaven. Millet rained down, and I was scared to cry wolf, which is recorded in the history books as "it rains millet every day, and the ghost cries wolf". Cang Xie is revered as the ancestor of writing, and China people will always admire him.

According to legend, Cang Xie was an official under the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor assigned him to be in charge of the number of livestock in the fence and the number of food on the chariot. But slowly, the storage of livestock and food is also gradually increasing and changing, and my head alone can't remember it. Cang Xie was puzzled.

Cang Xie tried to tie a knot on the rope all day and all night, and used ropes of different colors to represent different animals. But over time, it won't work. It is easy to tie a knot on the rope for this increased number, but it is troublesome to untie a knot on the rope when reducing the number. Cang Xie thought of winding the rope and hanging all kinds of shells in the circle, instead of what he was in charge of. If it increases, a shell is added; if it decreases, a shell is removed. This method works best and has been used continuously for several years.

Seeing that Cang Xie was so capable, the Yellow Emperor put him in charge of more and more things, such as the number of sacrifices each year, the distribution of hunting and the increase or decrease of tribal population, all of which were called Cang Xie. Cang Xie began to worry again. It's not enough to hang shells with rope. How can I not make mistakes?

On this day, he took part in collective hunting and came to a fork in the road. Several old people were arguing about which way to take. An old man insisted on going east, saying there were antelopes; An old man wants to go north, saying that he can catch up with the deer not far ahead; An old man insisted on going west, saying that there were two tigers, and if they were not killed in time, they would miss the opportunity. Cang Xie, it turns out that they are all looking at the footprints of underground beasts. Cang Xie suddenly felt happy: Since a footprint represents a wild animal, why can't I use a symbol to represent what I am responsible for? He ran home happily and began to create various symbols to represent things. Sure enough, manage things well.

When the Yellow Emperor knew it, he praised it and ordered Cang Xie to teach this method to all tribes. Gradually, the usage of these symbols has been popularized and formed into words.

Cang Xie made a word, and the Yellow Emperor attached great importance to him. Everyone praised him, and his reputation is growing. Cang Xie's mind was a little hot, and his eyes slowly moved to the top of his head. No one looks down on him, his handwriting is very scrawled.

This word reached the ears of the Yellow Emperor, who was very angry. Courtiers have no room for deterioration in his eyes. How did Cang Xie realize his mistake? The Yellow Emperor called the oldest old man around him to discuss. The old man has tied more than 120 knots on his long beard, which shows that he is over 120 years old. The old man hesitated and went to Cang Xie alone.

Cang Xie is teaching people from all tribes to read. The old man sits quietly at the end and listens as carefully as everyone else. After Cang Xie finished speaking, everyone else dispersed, and only the old man was still sitting in his old place. Cang Xie was a little curious and asked him why he didn't go.

The old man said, "Cang Xie, your words have become a household name, but I am old and dizzy, and a few words are still unclear. Will you teach me again? "

Cang Xie was glad to see such an old man respect him so much, and urged him to speak quickly.

The old man said, "Are there four legs in the words horse, donkey and mule?" ? Cows also have four legs. Why didn't you invent the word' cow' with four legs and only one tail? "

Cang Xie was a little flustered when he heard this: when he first coined the word "fish", it was written like a cow, and when he coined the word "cow", it was written as a fish. It's all my own carelessness, and I actually taught it backwards.

The old man went on to say, "The word' heavy' you made means that you have to pronounce the word' out' from a long distance away, but you taught people to pronounce the word' heavy' as weight. On the other hand, the word "out" when two mountains are combined should be the word "heavy" for weight, but you have taught it to be the word "out" when going out. These words really puzzle me, so I have to ask you. "

At this time, Cang Xie was ashamed and knew that he had made a big mistake because of his pride. These words have been taught by all tribes and spread all over the world, and cannot be changed. He quickly knelt down and expressed his regret with tears.

The old man took Cang Xie's hand and said sincerely, "Cang Xie, you have created words, so that the experience of our older generation can be recorded and passed on. You have done a great thing, people will remember you from generation to generation, but you can't be arrogant! "

From then on, every time Cang Xie made a word, he always scrutinized the meaning of the word, but he could ask people's opinions, and he was not careless. Everyone agreed, so it was settled, and then it was slowly extended to all tribes.
