Where did the story of Houyi shooting the sun come from?

In fact, it is recorded in the history books that the hero who shot down the nine suns was called Yi, who was a subordinate of the Emperor of Heaven. The story of shooting at the sun took place during the period of Three Emperors and Five Emperors Yao Di. Hou Yi, the leader of Dongyi tribe in Xia Dynasty, staged a coup while hunting in Taikang, the king of Xia Dynasty, and attacked Xiadu, which once dominated the world. It's a pity that Hou Yi was addicted to debauchery and didn't ask about state affairs. Soon after, he was promoted by his subordinates to seize power and was beheaded.

These two men were both good at shooting, and they were both in ancient times when there were no written objects, so they were later confused. For the sake of distinction, the one who shoots the sun is called Dayu, and he is a god! How else can we shoot the sun? The one who screwed up in summer was Hou Yi, just an unsuccessful rebel.

Therefore, the shooting day of Hou Yi should actually be the shooting day of Dayu. This allusion was first seen in Shan Hai Jing. Shan Hai Jing is a geography book, which records many ancient myths and stories. "Shan Hai Jing" said: "The emperor gave the barbarians a bow to help the country, but it was difficult for them to sympathize."

Di Jun, the legendary god of heaven and science, also recorded in Shan Hai Jing, "Between sweet water, there is no country.". There is a woman named Xi He taking a bath in Gan Yuan. He Jun's wife was born ten days ago. " Di Jun has a wife named He. She gave birth to ten suns and bathed them in this place every day. So it is obvious that Di Jun is the father of these ten suns. And the big deal is the god of Dijun. Di Jun gave him a red bow and an arrow with a white ribbon, and sent him to the lower world, just to help the people on the earth, slay the demons, get rid of them, and let the people live a better life. So Dayu came down to earth with a bow and arrow.

In the current Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is only one sentence about righteousness. But in fact, Shan Hai Jing has been lost a lot, and we can also find the records about Sheyang in Shan Hai Jing from the notes of the ancients.

In the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Shan Hai Jing Qiu Shui quoted Shan Hai Jing as saying, "After being shot for nine days, you fell into a dumpling". In the previous episode of the Song Dynasty's Splendid Flower Valley, there was a quotation from Shan Hai Jing: "Yao rises at sunrise on the 10th, shoots at the 10th, and lies in the corner." It shows that the ancient edition of Shan Hai Jing did record the story of Omura shooting at the sun, but it was later lost.

The complete story about Dayu's shooting at the sun was compiled by Huainanzi in the Western Han Dynasty according to ancient myths and historical records.

It is said that after Dayu's lower bound, "when Yao was caught, he burned crops and killed vegetation at sunrise, and the people had no food." Anger, tooth picking, giving birth to nine babies, strong winds, closing the altar and repairing snakes are all human hazards. It was Yao who killed nine babies in the fields of China, killed the fierce spring tree on the water, paid a strong wind to Qingqiu Ze, shot for ten days, killed the snake in Dongting and caught it in the mulberry forest. "

In other words, Dayu set an example for the people with a bow and arrow given by God, and killed the two monsters Jiu Ying and Gale first. I hope that Haizi, the ten bears in the sky, can see it and act according to the sky. However, these ten Xiong Haizi are crazy and don't listen to advice at all. When the fire started, they drew the bow and brushed off nine suns in a row.

Di Jun was blindsided. I just asked you to scare these children. How did you film them all? In a rage, Dayi was exiled to the world and never returned to heaven. Righteousness was very depressed, so several other fierce beasts got into great trouble. He killed them one by one.

But even so, Dijun still refused to let Dae go back to heaven, but I guess xi refused him. After all, Di Jun ruled heaven, and then entrusted this important task to Dayu, which shows that he was valued, but xi went in one ear and out the other. So, in order to return to the celestial world, Dayu found the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountain and came to the elixir. My heart says I can't restore my identity as a god, but it's not bad to live forever. Who knows that his wife often took the elixir of life, flew to the Moon Palace and became a goddess, leaving her aunt alone on earth.

Two women ruined freshman's life!

Finally, talk about the death of righteousness.

Da Yi lived in the world and accepted an apprentice named Feng Meng. After Feng Meng succeeded, he did something bad, but he was afraid of his teacher, so one day he secretly killed Da Yi with a red wooden stick. After the death of Dayi, Emperor Tiandi remembered his contribution to the world over the years and named him Buzong God in order to save the world from ghosts and gods. "Huai Nan Zi Yan Quan Xun" "Meng, a big stick, killed it with peach wood, because ghosts have been afraid of peach since then". This is also the reason why exorcists later used peach wooden swords.

Dayi was betrayed by his boss, wife and disciples all his life, but his original intention remained unchanged, benefiting the world. He's a real hero!
