The mythical "thunder system": more than 65,438+10,000 generals in one government, two houses and three divisions, and Duke Lei is just a pawn.

The role of "Raytheon" occupies an important position in China's ancient and modern traditional culture. Whether it's the thunder robbery in Xian Xia's novels, punishing the treacherous or the heinous, Thor often has the function of "punishing evil on behalf of heaven".

In the last article, we discussed the third of the four categories of "Raytheon" in the world, but because the Raytheon system in China culture is too complicated, we should continue to this chapter.

In the folk, people often equate "Lei Gong" with "Raytheon", which is true from the perspective of ancient mythology, but it is not very accurate because Taoism sorts out the immortal system in ancient legends and contemporary legends.

Among the people, "sharp-billed monkey face" should be the most popular image of "Raytheon", but do you know where he came from and what his prototype is?

"Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Dong Jing" said: "There is Raytheon in the Razer, with a dragon head and thunder in the belly."

According to legend, after Hua Xu married Sui Renshi, he went out for a cruise one day and walked to the bank of Razer. Suddenly he saw a huge footprint of "Raytheon" and walked along it. I didn't expect to get pregnant and give birth to Fuxi after 12 years.

According to archaeological excavations, Razer is today's Pucheng area, where Fuxi clan and Hua Xushi clan have lived for generations. At that time, the temperature was relatively high and there was plenty of rain, which was the best living environment for crocodiles. Every thunderstorm, groups of crocodiles roar loudly and thunder in unison.

Because every time the crocodile roars, it is accompanied by thunderstorms, and people are afraid of this huge creature, so it is called "Raytheon". Until later, in the spread of the story, Thor's appearance gradually became the image of "quick-talking monkey face".

In the previous chapter, a reader commented: "The first generation of Lei Gong is actually the father of Fuxi", which is true or false. He is said to be "wrong" because Fuxi's father is a well-documented "suiren"; He is right, because it has been recorded in dozens of ancient books, such as "The Emperor's Century", "A Scene of Peace" and "A River Map with Moments". "Fuxi was born because of Hua Xu's feeling after he stepped onto the thunder track".

I will discuss with you in detail the "life consciousness" of this ancient ancestor in the next chapter. Next, let's talk about other thors.

In the Taoist immortal system, although Buhler was deployed by heaven, its power, jurisdiction and internal structure were as big as those of ancient vassal states, and the true god "Nine Days Should Be Yuan Lei Pufo" was the king of this country, directly governing five Reddy, five Wang Lei and five marshals.

Its authority can be roughly summarized as one government, two houses and three departments. One house is the Jade Palace, where the Heaven lives. These two houses are the Five Thunder House and the Exorcism House. The three systems are the divine thunder system, the thunder system and the thunder system. There are more than 200 "generals" and "handsome" priests, and there are more than 1000 Chinese and Cao bureaus below.

Lei Zu is "it should be thundered in nine days, and it should be everywhere". In the novel The Romance of Gods, before his death, Di Yi entrusted Shang Zhouwang to the Taishi Wenzhong, and appointed Zhou Wang and Wenzhong as the protectors of Yin merchants. He fought in the north and south all the year round, and finally died in the pillar of fire refined by Yunzhongzi. Jiang Ziya returned to China as a god, named Wenzhong as "Nine-Day Thunder Popularizing Buddha", and the governor led the thunder department as a twenty-four righteous god.

In Bule, the status of this god is recognized as "Leizu" in novels, folk and Taoist systems, but there are different opinions about his identity. In addition to the identity in the above novels, there is also a folk saying that Shaodian's wife went out to play with a treasure, and suddenly Raytheon made a masterpiece, and a flash of lightning fell, flying around the treasure several times before flying to the Big Dipper. Therefore, among the people, many people think that the Yellow Emperor is the "Beidou".

For us, these ten people, Five Reddy and Five Chloe Wang, are actually just titles. They are under the command of Lei Zu, not responsible for specific work, and have little intersection with the people. They are only distributed in all parties and will only appear when there are major changes, so I won't go into details here.

The level of Raytheon is closely related to the people, because it is said that they often shuttle between heaven and earth, control power and perform their duties, and they are all very practical.

When the ancients took the oath, they used to express their determination with "Thunder strikes and the gods are destroyed". In fact, this oath is supervised and implemented by the subordinate units of Heaven, that is, Marshal Bi and Marshal Xin, one of the five marshals, and Er Shen, who hold the Twelve Thunder, are fully responsible for the trivial matters of the five parties in the world, punishing ghosts and punishing evil.

In addition, Buller is also responsible for the safety of heaven. The main person in charge is Marshal Five, one of Marshal Pang, who is with Marshal Qi, holding a golden knife and guarding Tianmen.

This marshal has special functions. He has no military power or "law enforcement" power, but he belongs to the core function of the Thunder Department: "administration". Liu Tianjun, whose real name is Empress Liu, was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The jade emperor appointed him as a marshal, who was in charge of all kinds of affairs, including personnel and logistics.

Although the name of the last marshal may not be known by many people, his professional title can be said to be a household name, that is, "law." Marshal Deng's real name is Liu Zhong. His speed is like thunder, and he runs like lightning. Therefore, he was appointed as the "Fa Shen" and the first of the five marshals, and was responsible for the legal trial and call of the Lei Department, and made overall arrangements, such as which "Shi Tian" in the lower class opened the altar and read it out.

Moreover, Buller's responsibility goes far beyond the scope of "the crime of taking punishment". Judging from the five elements, thunder belongs to wood, so it also has the function of biochemical things, just like Raytheon in Nordic mythology, and it is the god of part-time agriculture.

And in charge of this item, it is the four ambassadors of Lei Zuzhi, namely tripterygium wilfordii, Dian Mu, Fengbo and Rain Master. Although they are all called messengers, their ranks are actually the same as those of the five marshals.

What needs to be explained here is that the above-mentioned "tripterygium wilfordii" is actually a "tripterygium wilfordii" with a crocodile prototype.

In the last article, we discussed the third of the four major Raytheons in the world. Only the Raytheon in China myth didn't elaborate because of its complicated system.

If you must choose a representative of Thor in China mythology, which one do you think is the most suitable?

Is it the most legendary "Lei Gong"? Or is there a powerful "nine-day thunder universe Buddha" called by Lei Zu? Or which great god you know? Welcome to leave your thoughts in the comments section.
