The origin of the identity of the great Chu witch named Si Meiren Mochou. What kind of culture is the Chu witch culture?

I originally thought that Mochounu could not be with Qu Yuan because of her status as a slave, but later Mochounu finally found out that she was a descendant of the great Chu witch in the Chu Kingdom and had a distinguished status. , I still can't stay with Qu Yuan, I really don't know what to say! What is the identity of the great witch? Why did Mo Chou suddenly become the only woman in the court of Chu State? What kind of culture is the Chu Wu culture in ancient Chinese history?

Let’s first talk about how Mo Chou became the great witch in the drama "Thinking of Beauty"! After Qu Yuan and Mochou Nu experienced many things, they fell in love very much. However, Qu Yuan's family had arranged for Qu Yuan to marry Zhao Bixia, and Mo Chou Nu's father, Lu Mao, did not agree to Qu Yuan's proposal to marry Mo Chou Nu. Under Mo Chou Nu's painstaking questioning, Lu Mao finally revealed Mo Chou Nu's true identity. He said that he was originally from a local aristocratic family, and he was married to Wu Sucen, a famous great figure in Chu Kingdom. Su Cen has powerful witchcraft and can predict future events. She once predicted that the world would fall into the hands of Qin and Chu would eventually perish. It was because Su Cen's prophecy was unfavorable to the Chu State, so the court began to arrest Su Cen, and Mochou Nu's family was ruined, and she ended up like this.

After learning that she was a descendant of the great Chu witch and that her mother was killed by Zhaohe, Mochou went to assassinate Zhaohe and was caught. Qu Yuan asked Mochou Nu why she assassinated Zhaohe, and wanted to save Mochou Nu's life. Mochou Nu told Qu Yuan that she was the daughter of the great Chu witch, and Zhaohe was her mother-killing enemy. Qu Yuan then used this incident to appease Zhaohe's resentment towards Mochou Nu. He believed that if Zhaohe had not killed Su Cen, then Mochou Nu would not assassinate him now. In the end, Mochou Nu was released by Zhaohe, but the fate between her and Qu Yuan was severed. This incident revealed the identity of Mochou Nu, the great witch of Chu. Later, a war broke out between Qin and Chu. When Chu State was about to survive, Mochou Nu had to tell the world that she was a great Chu witch. As a descendant of a witch, he assumes the responsibility of a great witch.

When Mo Chou became the Great Witch of Chu, she became the only woman in the Chu Kingdom who could go to court and participate in political affairs. In the Chu State, the status of the Great Chu Shaman was very high, sometimes even higher than that of the king. For example, in this play, King Huai of Chu sacrifices to the gods on the Dragon Boat Festival, and Wu Ming disguises himself as a wizard and sneaks up on King Huai of Chu. On such a solemn occasion, except for the guards who can wear swords, no one else is allowed to wear them. The wizard needs to use the sword to perform magic, so he can wear it. Wizards are the medium for communication between humans and gods. The ruler of a country needs wizards to consolidate his rule and pray for his country and people. The status of the Great Chu Shaman in the Chu State was equivalent to that of the later National Preceptor. He could not only participate in politics, but was also responsible for managing sacrificial affairs.

The Great Chu Wu is the product of Chu Wu culture in ancient my country. So what kind of culture is Chu Wu culture? In fact, the Chu witch culture can be traced back to ancient times, with the Lingshan Ten witches headed by Wu Xian and the Baoyuanshan shamans who used astrology and divination as their main forms. The main content of Chuwu culture is salt culture and medicine culture. It has a long history and far-reaching influence. It is an important part of the splendid Chinese culture.

In ancient books, there are also records about witchcraft and wizards. It is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing": "There are Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, and Wu Luo Shi Wu. From then on, "Wuxian Mountain Ode" also records: "Wuxian regarded Hongshu as Emperor Yao's doctor, and he was regarded as a noble god in life and as a noble god in death." According to textual research. , Baoyuan Mountain in ancient times was a veritable "Wushan", or "Lingshan" or "Sacred Mountain". Because at that time, Baoyuan Mountain was the place where cinnabar was abundant, and cinnabar was also known as the "elixir of immortality". It was often used as an elixir of immortality and beauty. Some of the residents of Baoyuan Mountain later moved out, and the Chu State later occupied the place. As a result, Chu culture and Wu culture had a fierce collision, which gave birth to such a mysterious Chu Wu culture. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Nine Songs" and "The Book of Songs" all have records about the performance of Chu Wu culture.

Da Chu Wu is a form of expression under the Chu Wu culture. He was a special existence in the Chu State at that time. He had a very high status and great power. He could be said to be a person who influenced the destiny of the country.
