In some Fuxi Nuwa unearthed in China, each of them holds a ruler and a compass. What's the moral?

There is a special theme in murals or portrait bricks (stones) found in archaeology. These paintings show Fuxi and Nu Wa. One of them holds a ruler, the other a compass, and their lower bodies are intertwined, like dragons and snakes. The researcher named it Fuxi Nuwa's intercourse map.

In ancient myths and legends, Fuxi and Nuwa are brother and sister, half man and half god. As can be seen from the murals above, Fuxi Nuwa is the head of a dragon, and some people call it the head of a snake. From the perspective of cultural origin, this kind of pictures can be understood as? Totem? .

Fuxi and Nu Wa are both legendary figures, but the construction of their images has a very complicated historical background. Simply put, this picture reflects the relationship between the sexes in the state of blood group marriage in primitive society. The early forms of marriage and family of human beings are very different from today's, and they have experienced the primitive marriage system such as hybridization, group marriage and polygamy.

The legendary Fuxi and Nuwa were originally a pair of brothers and sisters, and later married, thus giving birth to the whole Chinese nation. Of course, there are many legends about this kind, such as the well-known Nu Wa who made people. However, the marriage and family pattern reflected in Fuxi Nuwa's intercourse map is indeed more progressive.

According to anthropological investigation, among some ethnic minorities in Yunnan and Guizhou, the legends of Fuxi and Nu Wa are still popular. According to the interviews of scholars, such as Miao and Yao compatriots, they are still considered to be from Fuxi and Nuwa.

It is worth mentioning that although there are many discoveries in Fuxi Nuwa's intercourse map, most of the time it is later than the legend itself. In other words, this kind of picture was created by the ancients when they traced back and restored more ancient myths and legends.

Now we see Fuxi holding a ruler and Nu Wa holding a compass, and the two lower parts are intertwined, which is also the romantic result according to myths and legends. From this perspective, this gesture is an understanding of the creator of the picture. Will. Rules? And then what? Instantly? Taken together, it generally means to emphasize that Fuxi and Nu Wa are not only the ancestors of human beings, but also open up the wisdom of human beings for future generations to understand? Rules? .

Of course, when studying such pictures, people often have different opinions. However, as far as handed down documents and unearthed cultural relics are concerned, Fuxi Nuwa's intercourse map is mostly a view and expression of people's ancestors in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties.
