Moving to a new house couplet
When you realize it, your hair is long and auspicious.
Since heaven or God opened the heavens, the universe has been formed, and heaven and earth have been created.
Long hair and auspiciousness have long developed into auspiciousness. (or there was a heavenly peace a long time ago)
Book of Songs:
long hair
We deepened our ideas, expanded our cause, made our hair grow, flooded our country and laid the earth. Great foreign countries are Xinjiang, with long meteorites, great generals and emperors who let their sons do business. Encouraged by small countries and big countries, Huan failed to achieve his goal, so he regarded him as an evil spirit and was far away from home.
Long Hair is a poem under The Book of Songs and Shang Dynasty, and it is a hymn to Da Zi.
What is "big"?
"Justice in Mao's Poems" explains: "A big sacrifice is also a sacrifice to heaven in the suburbs. 」
"Book of Rites" explains: "Jun belongs to his ancestors and matches them. Everything is based on the sky, and people are based on their ancestors, so they are worthy of God. Sacrifice in the suburbs is also a big newspaper. 」
The general idea of these two paragraphs is:
"Big altar" refers to the ceremony of "offering sacrifices to heaven" held in the suburbs.
In ancient times, kings held regular ceremonies to worship the God who created their ancestors (this is the main ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven), and at the same time, they also remembered their ancestors and regarded the activities of remembering their ancestors as offering sacrifices to heaven. The root of everything comes from the father, and the root of man comes from the ancestors. Therefore, when worshipping God in the suburbs, we should also hold sacrificial ceremonies to remember our ancestors. The purpose of offering sacrifices to heaven in the suburbs is to repay the kindness of God and ancestors.
The so-called "where did their ancestors come from" here refers to the source of human appearance, that is, the ancestors of their ancestors. But who is the farthest source of human ancestors? In the final analysis, the farthest and earliest ancestor of human beings is "the spirit heaven ... God". Ma Rong in the Eastern Han Dynasty described "Wen Zu, Heaven also, Heaven is the ancestor of literature and everything" ... The ancestor of human civilization is the priest, the ancestor of human civilization and everything.
It can be seen that "eldest son" and "son of ancestral home" both refer to the same ceremony ... "Sacrifice to heaven" ceremony, in which the main sacrifice is to worship the gods and the sacrifice is to remember the ancestors.
Confucius described this ceremony of "worshipping heaven in the suburbs" as: "The ceremony of the suburban community is therefore a god. The ceremony of the ancestral temple, so it is also the first time. Know the courtesy and taste of suburban communities and run the country like the palm of your hand! The ceremony of offering sacrifices to gods is called "the ceremony of suburban community", and the ceremony of remembering ancestors is called "the ceremony of ancestral temple". People who know how to "respect God and remember their ancestors" can govern the country as easily as reading palms.
The following is the vernacular translation of Long Hair:
The vast number of wise Yin merchants,
A long time ago, there was a godsend of peace,
Looking back on the floods in those years,
Dayu's flood control brought peace to the earth,
China's territory gradually expanded outward,
Until it's far and long,
At that time, Wa's daughter was growing up.
God bless her to give birth to Shang Wang.
Shang Wang contracted to implement a moral policy,
Not only in their own small countries,
But also every territory of Greater China,
So that people all over the world will follow it.
He traveled around,
It is full of joy to see the people obey the law.
Shang Qi's son, Xiangtu, is well known.
Even overseas governors have submitted it.
=====================
To annotate ...
The original text and notes of Justice in Shi Mao are as follows:
Long hair: Big hair. Note-1
We deepened our ideas, expanded our cause, made our hair grow, flooded our country and laid the earth. Great foreign countries are Xinjiang, with long meteorites, great generals and emperors who let their sons do business. Note -2 Huan dial, small country, big country, but the rate does not exceed. Therefore, it is considered that both hair and Xiangtu are very intense, and there is interception -3 overseas.
Note-1
"Justice in Shi Mao" explains: The big scorpion worships the sky in the suburbs; The Book of Rites says: "A king gives them what his ancestors have and matches them", which means "yes".
Justice says: People who write poems with long hair are also happy songs. In the name of offering sacrifices to heaven, it is said that in the first month of Yin Dynasty, the poet sang this poem because of his sacrifice to heaven in the southern suburbs. This big tomb is dedicated to heaven in the suburbs, with the winter solstice as a sacrifice. Emperor, the most revered god, the home of all things, the Lord of man and god. 」
As can be seen from the annotation of Justice in Shi Mao, the "God" worshipped by China ancestors is "the emperor, the most revered God, the Lord of all things and the Lord of man and god". In other words, the gods worshipped by the Chinese nation are "the God of gods, the Lord of lords, and the creator of all things in the universe". This is what Laozi described as "things are born in harmony and born naturally." Lonely, independent without change, week without danger, can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, the word is "Tao"; The word "Tao" has exactly the same meaning, that is, God is Tao and Tao is God.
Note 2
Deep, deep and great; Summer is vast; Meteors, all also. Yun Jian: Long or long; Meteors are regarded as circles, and circles are called weeks. As we all know, the virtue of Wei Shang has existed for a long time, but it is a flood, and it is determined by all sides in summer. When we reached the vast border, there was a sign of the king's world, which lasted for a long time.
Note 3
Xiangtu, Qi Sun also; Fierce and powerful; Yeah, yeah. Xiangtu lived in the world of Xia Hou, inherited the contract, became Wang Guan's uncle, and grew up as a vassal. He is mighty and magnificent, but he is lean and obedient outside the four seas.
