In fact, the reason why the Thunder God is mentioned many times is not because we want to analyze the origin of Thunder Magic, but the key lies in another aspect. The history of witches in China is very long. In primitive society, because humans had little knowledge and did not understand certain situations in this society, they misunderstood the natural phenomena of thunder, lightning, rain, volcanic eruptions, etc.

People would mistakenly believe that fire, earthquakes and other phenomena were caused by the anger of a certain god, and would be in a state of fear all day, fearing that the god would be unhappy and bring disaster upon them, such as disease or plague. Therefore, primitive humans used certain things for worship, because they thought these things were the incarnation of gods, and gods were derived from these things, thus giving rise to "totem worship". There are certain rituals in worship, through which people express their piety to gods, and also express some of their wishes, such as having children, longevity, good weather and good harvest, etc., and rituals require a leader, who is usually the leader.

This kind of people organize various ceremonies and convey people's wishes to gods. Such people are called "witches". The witch has great power because he is the intermediary between gods and people and can know the will of gods. For ordinary people, it can be said that he is like the incarnation of gods and the spokesperson of gods in the world. Therefore, the witch controls the functions of sacrifice, medicine, and

The rights of governance, tribal historical inheritance, etc.

The most crucial point is the worship of gods and the birth of innate gods. The so-called witch is the existence of communicating with gods. Its magic is also called mysterious. After all, witchcraft was also discredited by later generations. However, from the source, it is to communicate with gods and send down

Divine power.

Witchcraft is an attempt to use supernatural mysterious power to influence or control certain people or things. "Goddess rituals" and "spells" constitute the main content of witchcraft.

Of course, to say that it is a ritual of divine descent is to communicate with gods and receive divine power, which is the same principle.

From the perspective of the nature of witchcraft, witchcraft can be divided into black witchcraft and white witchcraft. Black witchcraft refers to witchcraft used to put the blame on others; white witchcraft is witchcraft used to wish for good luck and blessings, so it is also called lucky witchcraft.

As for Boyi's identity, as a royal wizard and priest, he naturally could not do evil things, but was more inclined to white witchcraft, or even to medicine. He usually praised the gods and prayed to them. He did not need to pay much to seek the power of light or kindness to help others. For example, when using special materials to pray for others, he only needed to tell the gods the purpose and

Just offer sacrifices and at the end of the prayer, thank the gods and the prayer is complete.

White witchcraft is a type of witchcraft that ordinary people use to pray for clear weather, rain, exorcise ghosts, break evil spirits, get rid of insects, find objects, summon spirits, and even make infertile women give birth and make men and women who have no feelings fall in love. It is in contrast to black witchcraft.

White witchcraft is subjectively intended to predict future situations in a mysterious environment, or to take effective measures to cure diseases and restore health. Divination witchcraft was the most commonly used witchcraft for diagnosis and treatment in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Of course, this is only an application in general people's livelihood. If it is really applied to magic combat and involves the use of witchcraft in mythology, it is not as simple as just a small technique like this.

"The thunder magic of the heavens is hard to resist!" Boyi said in a deep voice: "However, the so-called heavenly thunder and earthly fire is the violent power of time. Since it is thunder magic, let's use the power of fire to deal with it!"

In the reign of Emperor Shun, the chief fire official was Li. As for the fire god Zhurong, although his name was very famous, he was not much higher than them. If we talk about borrowing divine power, it is naturally not Zhurong. Zhurong, whose name was Chongli (abbreviated as Li), was also known as Zhusong and Zhuhe. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Ku Gaoxin, he served as the chief fire official in the ruins of Youxiong clan (now Xinzheng). He could show the light of heaven and earth, make grains and wood grow soft, and transform them with fire.

Emperor Ku named him Zhurong, and later generations revered him as the God of Fire. Some people say that Zhurong was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times.

Of course, as for how plausible this statement is, in my opinion, it is nothing more than Zhurong, the Fire Official, Chongli.

If we were to ask who the real Zhurong was, I think it was the one who lived during the late period of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi. It is said that during the late period of Fuxi's reign, when his merits and virtues were complete, he passed the throne of the world to Nuwa. It was at that time that the first generation of the real water god Gonggong became dissatisfied and started

Nuwa sent Zhurong, a famous southern lord at the time, to fight against Gonggong, which led to the battle between the two gods of water and fire. Gonggong was defeated by Zhurong and angrily hit Mount Buzhou, breaking the pillar of heaven and causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split. This led to the subsequent Nuwa repairing the sky.

Legend. As for the so-called fight between Gonggong and Zhuanxu for the throne, and then hitting Mount Buzhou in anger, it is not advisable. If this is true, then how can Nuwa repair the sky? Could it be that Nuwa has become a god and came down to earth to repair the sky?

;Heaven? This is simply ridiculous! To be honest, it is generally believed that the descendant of the Gonggong clan, a man named Kang Hui, was the one who competed with Emperor Zhuanxu for the throne. As for Gonggong, he, like Zhurong, should be a figure in ancient mythology. Even if he is a real person, he is the leader of an ancient clan. Generally speaking, he is believed to be the leader of a clan in the south that worships fire. Later, Fuxi became the first common ruler of the world who truly unified the Central Plains. The leaders of the four directions received his rewards. It is very likely that

They are the gods of the four directions, Gonggong, Zhurong, Jumang and Rushou. This is also the reason why the later holy emperors used this title as the name of their official position.

Therefore, among the names that appear later, one is the corresponding official, and the other is naturally the heir of this clan.

For example, in the two examples just mentioned, Li was the person who had the title of Zhurong in the era of Emperor Shun, and Kanghui was undoubtedly the leader of the Gonggong clan, who was called this name.

Now, getting back to the point, if we say that, we have to think about a question, who was the fire god worshipped at that time? Among the various ethnic groups in the north who believe in shamanism, the fire god is an ancient male, known as the Fire God, Fire Goddess, Fire Girl, Fire Spirit, Fire Source, etc. For example, the Oroqen legend says: A man got up in the morning to roast a fire, and because he stirred the fire, he offended the fire god. No matter where his family moved, he could not light a fire. Later, he asked the Fire Goddess for his sin and was forgiven. When he went home to light the fire again, the fire started. According to Mr. Wu Bing'an, the principle of the sacredness and inviolability of the fire god embodied in this legend not only runs through the hunting and grazing production customs of some ethnic groups in the north, but is also implemented in all aspects of daily life. For example, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely forbidden to step on fire, ride on fire, or step over fire, and it is not allowed to speak ill of fire or directly insult fire. While respecting the blessings that fire brings to the world, people also regard forest and grassland fires, as well as diseases such as fever in patients and nightmares in children as the result of the anger of the fire god. The more

The more they worshipped it, the more they feared its punishment and revenge on people. Therefore, the fire god was worshipped and sacrificed more often than other natural gods.

Of course, this refers to natural fire. As far as natural fire is concerned, the one with infinite power is naturally a volcanic eruption, and this power is unquestionable.

If it is not this aspect, then the other aspect is undoubtedly the acquired fire.

There is nothing much to study about the acquired fire. First of all, Suiren drilled wood to make fire, which was the first to create the acquired fire. Before that, the most important thing was to preserve the fire. This issue may also involve the fire official. Whether he was the fire official or not is not certain. Because according to various legends, Zhurong and others should have been descendants of Suiren.

However, from my point of view, there is no corresponding result. The fire god worshipped by the ancient ancestors probably only has its shape but no name. With the reverence of the ancient ancestors for the spirit of nature, they would not randomly name it.

.

Of course, gods are one thing, but the various mythical beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are also evolved from the ancient ancestors’ reverence for the spirits of nature.

Moreover, speaking of this issue, there is another crucial issue, totem. Totem is the sign and symbol of relatives, ancestors, and patron gods of primitive peoples, and is the earliest cultural phenomenon in human history. The low social productivity and the ignorance of nature by primitive peoples are the basis for the emergence of totems. Using totems to explain myths, classical records, and folk customs can often lead to the effect of drawing inferences from one example. Totem is the superstition of primitive people that a certain animal or natural object has a blood relationship with the clan, and is therefore used as the emblem or symbol of the clan.

.

Undoubtedly, when thinking about the issue of totems, everyone will naturally think of dragons. Thinking that dragons are formed by the gathering of those totems, then was the natural deity worshipped at that time dragons?

At first glance, it seems very possible, but in fact it is impossible.

Although it is generally said that the dragon totem was drawn when Xuanyuan unified the world, this is absolutely not the case. Because the totem of Xuanyuan's unification of the world was the Tianyuan. "The word Tianyuan is often seen in inscriptions. It was translated as descendants in the old days. I think it should be Tianyuan, that is, Xuanyuan." Therefore, "Tianyuan is Xuanyuan." Tianyuan is the clan name, clan emblem, and clan totem of Xuanyuan. Yuan is an aquatic animal.

Huangdi used the celestial turtle as his totem, which shows that his totem was an aquatic animal.

Xuanyuan clan, the two words Xuanyuan means Tianyuan, which means Litian, meaning the deified giant turtle.

Obviously, this has nothing to do with dragons. And here we can also get evidence. Everyone knows about Emperor Shun. As mentioned earlier, the totem of the tribe is "Zou Yu", which looks like a white tiger. Emperor Shun was the common ruler of the world and one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. At that time

The totem of the emperor is not a dragon, let alone Emperor Xuanyuan? However, no matter what, under the pressure of thunder from above, Boyi Qiankun borrowed the power of the unknown natural god, the God of Fire, and launched a counterattack!
