Don’t know: was the first emperor of ancient Shu really silkworm cluster? Is cancong the silkworm God? Cancong, also known as cancong, is the silkworm God in ancient mythology. He is the first person to claim the king of Shu. The following is a detailed introduction by the editor of China story network. Let’s read on~
He is an expert in silkworm breeding. It is said that his eyes protrude forward like crabs. His hair is combed into a “bun” at the back of his head, and his clothes are crossed to the left. He first lived in Minshan Shishi (now beidiexi, Maoxian County, Sichuan Province). Later, in order to raise silkworms, cancong led the tribe to live in Chengdu from Minshan Mountain. In the 14th year of Xia Jie, Xia Jie sent the general Bian to attack cancong and Youxuan, so cancong told Youxuan to use beautiful women to keep Xia Jie from fighting. As expected, Xia Jie was confused by beautiful women and announced that he would return to the court. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, after cancong was defeated by other tribes, the descendants of cancong fled to Yao (now Yao’an, Yunnan) and Yi (now Xichang, Sichuan) respectively. Finally, the new force Yufu ended the war.
Who is the silkworm cluster? He is the embodiment of “Shu” and the first king of Shu in ancient Shu. With his great courage and wisdom, he developed production and economy in the Chengdu Plain, casting the historical glory of ancient Shu. Qushangcheng is the first capital established by cancong in Chengdu Plain (in today’s Muma mountain in the south of Shuangliu County, Chengdu), and the first “command post” where cancong King created the glorious history of ancient Shu. Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, said with emotion in his article “the difficulty of the Shu Road”: “the silkworm cluster and the fish Fu are at a loss for the founding of the country.” He is talking about the legendary ancient Shu state.
According to the records of the king of Shu, the first king of Shu was named cancong, and the descendants called Baiguan, and the second was Yufu
So, is this “Genesis” silkworm cluster the people of Chengdu plain or the people around the basin? Did he grow up among the people of Shu, or did he migrate to Shu from other places and finally gain a dominant position? According to Zhang Qiao’s notes on the Fu of Shu capital and the book of the king of Shu, it is said that the silkworm cluster first lived in the stone chamber of Minshan Mountain According to historical research, this cancong tribe is a branch of the Di people. They have lived in the area of Minshan Mountain for generations. Because of the high mountains and dangerous roads, of course, they can’t build houses with “wooden bones and mud walls” like the plain residents, so that they can live more comfortably. Instead, they adjust measures to local conditions and dig cave like “stone chambers” on the cliff to live.
This is a tribe that is good at raising silkworms. Their looks and clothes are very strange. “People are cute at that time. They have a bun and a left lapel. Their eyes are vertical, they do not know words, and there is no etiquette and music.”. That is to say, their eyes protrude forward like crabs, their hair is combed into a “bun” at the back of their heads, and the style of their clothes is skewed on the left. The silkworm Cong family sits in the airtight stone room all day thinking about problems, and wants to find a better place to live and work in peace and contentment. Because life in the mountains is very difficult, it is also very unfavorable to the development of silkworm breeding. Later, he heard that the Chengdu Plain was open and fertile, so he led his tribe to migrate from Minshan Mountain to the Chengdu Plain, and went all the way to Sanxingdui, Guanghan. Perhaps at that time, there were tribes living in Sanxingdui, but they were not powerful enough. Naturally, they were quickly absorbed or assimilated by the cancong family. This migration left many ancient places along the way, from which we can see the route of the silkworm cluster moving southward from the Minjiang River to the Chengdu Plain. For example, the records of places of interest in Central Sichuan recorded silkworm cliff pass, silkworm cliff stone, silkworm cliff city, etc. Disclaimer: the above content is from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
