Brief introduction of suiren's family
Suiren is also called "Suiren", and the ancients "ate like fur and drank like blood". He drilled wood for fire, taught people to cook, and was the inventor of artificial fire. The myth about him reflects the evolution of China from using natural fire to making artificial fire in primitive times. "Biography of Shangshu" said: "Sui people are emperors, Fuxi is the emperor of drama, and Shennong is the emperor of agriculture. Therefore, people learn from fire, fire and the sun. Yang Zun, so he asked the emperor to go to heaven. "
The position of Suiren in myth
In China's myths and legends, there are many heroes who benefit the people with wisdom, courage and perseverance, and Xiang Man is one of them.

Brief introduction of sui mingguo
In ancient times, clans who made fires with wood were also called "the country of the Ming Dynasty". They didn't know the four hours of day and night. If people don't die, they will ascend to heaven if they are tired of the world. State-owned wood, also known as fire tree, bends around and clouds come out. If there is a bird, peck at the wood with its beak and make a fire. Inspired by this, a saint broke a branch and drilled wood to make a fire. People call this saint a saint. "Peaceful Magnolia" Volume 869 quoted "Notes on the Chronicle of the Prince": "Shen Mi went to Wan Li. There is an embarrassing country, but I don't know four o'clock. If people don't die, they will ascend to heaven if they are tired of the world. State-owned wahoo, famous wood, twists and turns, clouds in the middle. The fire went out when the branch was broken and drilled. Later saints became smelly and swam beyond the sun and the moon, saving everything with food; Even the south. This tree shows that if a bird pecks at the tree with its mouth, it will burn. The sage felt embarrassed, because he took a twig and drilled a fire, so he named it Suiren. " In the same volume 78, "Gu Li Wen Jia" said: "Sui people began to drill wood for fire ... so they are Sui people." There is also the legend of "Suiren's summer taking fire from dates and apricots" (see Collection of Arts, Volume 87, On Kyushu). Today, there is a living myth circulating in Shangqiu, Henan Province, that "people beat stones to make a fire".
The evolution of the head of the Suiren family
Thirty thousand years ago, the leader of Suiren and the leader of Yan Zi Shi combined to form a blood alliance of marriage, which was originally called Suiren and Husband. Yan Zi Shi's Weaver Girl is the earliest female leader in the history of China. Later, the world honored her as the female emperor, also known as Xuan Nv, Xuan Di, Wang Su, Motome, Xu Nu, Di Zi and so on. She invented the technique of rubbing rope with bark 30 thousand years ago. She invented three kinds of ropes: one rope is called spin, the other rope is called child, and the third rope is called rope (also called element). Thirty thousand years ago, Yan Zi Shi, a man with no opinion, stood in the center of Kunlun Mountain (now Qilian Mountain in Gansu Province). Refers to the celestial pole star in the Palace of Heroes, in the sky. Celestial star is the north pole of the celestial sphere, so it is also called Polaris. Yan Zi Shi, the founder of Polaris, is also known as Zi Gong and Zi Weiyuan. Purple is synonymous with Xuan, the Purple Palace is the Xuan Palace, and the lady in the palace is Yin Dexing, the nine-day Xuan Nv of the Virgin of Chile. About 15000 to 13000 years ago, Polaris was named Vega because of Yan Zi Shi's Vega.
Suirenshi Yan Zi Shi Branch.
There are three branches: one is Li, the other is Li, and the third is Jade Bird. The male family of Katz takes the mysterious bird as the totem, and its three clans are collectively called "Sanke family", also known as Sanqing bird family. They regard Juzi as their ancestor and respectfully call him "issam" or "issam Na", while the leaders of all branches call him "Elymus". The master of the mysterious women, Kouye, is old and lives in Weak Water in the south of Helishan Mountain (now the north of Zhangye City in Gansu Province). His clan, also known as Kuikun, has a wide range of branches. One of them migrated northward along the weak water, extending outward from Juyanhai (now the remaining Gashunnuoer Lake) and Yanran Mountain (now the Hangai Mountain in Altai Mountains), and scattered in the Selenger River, Erhun River and Ergon River (the source of the upper reaches of Heilongjiang), tributaries of Lake Baikal. One moved westward along the northern foot of Altai Mountain to Eastern Europe. A Wulungu Lake moved from weak water to the southern foot of Altai Mountain, and entered Junggar Basin and Tarim Basin along Yili River and Alatao Mountain. Munoye Lao, a young woman with a beard, lives in Fangleize (now Linze County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, which has dried up) in the weak water basin at the south foot of Helishan Mountain, and branches from Pangu Branch of Fanglei and lives in Gulang (now Gulang County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province). Its branch moves eastward to Helan Mountain in the east of the West Sea, jumps northward into Yanran Mountain and Lake Baikal, and joins the old branch of Levin. The other branch enters the Luanhe River basin and the Northeast Plain from Yinshan to the east. One enters Beiluoshui from Liupanshui, adjacent to the old river system in Xiao Ye. Guangyang Yelao was renamed Zhang, and (now Zhangye City, Gansu Province) was built in Nord. The other branch was later named Yang, and Yuancheng (also known as Xuancheng) was built in the upper reaches of Huanjiang River. The descendants of Konoha developed along the Sanggan River and its tributary Huang Shuihe, moved to Hunhe River and Liu Hu, with its capital in Daiwangcheng (now Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province), and then moved to Jianwu Luocheng (also known as Charlotte, now Zhuolu County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province). Suiren, an old branch of Levin, entered Hebei Province eastward along Taihang Mountain, with its capital in Lingshou (now Lingshou County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province) and its capital in Puyin (also known as Wanxian County, now Shunping County, Baoding City, Hebei Province). Later, he moved northward to Dawangdian, with its capital in Suicheng (now xushui county, Baoding City, Hebei Province), and set up Lingtai (now Wujitai) in the center of heaven and earth.
The Late Distribution of Suiren Family in Yan Zi Shi
Sui people's self-reliance surname "Feng" is the earliest surname of China people. The wind surname * * * is divided into ten parts: Tian Xiong, Tian Qi, Tian Yi, He Xiong, Tian Yang, Yin Tian, migratory birds, insects, thunderstorms and imperial city. In the later period, the branches of Suiren were almost all over the country, among which the most important ones were Yi, Hua Shi, Xu, Hua Xushi,,, and Pan Hu. They are mainly distributed in today's Gansu Province, starting from Dunhuang (Guguazhou), Sanwei Mountain, Shule River and Maozi Mountain in the west; East to Qingyang, Huachi and Hehe, until Shaanxi Beiluo River; South to Laji Mountain, Sun Moon Mountain, Chengxian County, Lixian County, Kangxian County and Fengxian County in Huangzhong, Huayang County in the south of Qinling Mountains. Its activity center (Star Watching Sacrifice Center) mainly has three places: First, the Dragon Shoushan (the ancient Kunlun Mountain), second, the Laji Mountain in the middle and middle of Huangzhong, and third, the Liupanshan Mountain. The immediate surnames of the followers, such as Yun surname, Feng surname and Yi surname, are distributed around them.
Ten Great Inventions of Yan Zi Shi.
Yan Zi Shi, the founder of the Chinese nation, left ten great inventions to future generations. The top ten inventions are: about 50,000 years ago, we invented "drilling wood to make fire", and then we invented "flint to make fire". Suiren is the inventor of artificial fire in legend.
About 40 thousand years ago, the calendar of supporting trees in the mountains began, and the astronomical phenomena observed at the top of Kunlun Mountain were named after the road of tomorrow. About 30,000 years ago, Yan Zi Shi Weaver invented the rope twisting technology and founded the Knot Note. Suiren takes the right pivot Tianyi (Tianlong Star) as the north star. About 20,000 years ago, the Sui people founded the "clan totem emblem system", and surnames became popular. About 26,000 years ago, Suiren took Vega Taiyi (a star in Lyra) as the north star. About 15000 years ago, Yan Zi Shi invented the solar calendar in San 'ao. About 14800 years ago, Yan Zi Shi invented the river map, Luo Shu (Kono Lao created the river map and Muye Lao created Luo Shu) and the astrological calendar, creating early human symbols. About 12000 years ago, Suiren invented "Wen Tao" and created "ten-day dry". "Ten-day-work" uses completely ancient symbols and characters, and its title is different from now. It is recorded here for readers' reference. (Because ancient symbols and characters can't be input into the computer, they are temporarily omitted. ) About eleven thousand years ago, Suiren founded the calendar with the eight-line rule. Nine years ago, about 10,000 years ago, Suiren discovered the universal biochemical model of plough, cat, Tai Chi seal and Tai Chi whirlpool. Around 7800 BC, Suiren summarized the great discovery of Heaven and established an ancient civilization.
Related archaeological research
In 1980s, archaeologists in China discovered the site of the late Sui Dynasty in Nanzhuangtou, Xu Shui, Hebei Province, and two kinds of pottery fragments, The Book of Sui People, were unearthed in the site.
One is dark gray pottery sand, and the other is reddish brown pottery sand. According to scientific research, its production date is about 12000 years ago. Nanzhuangtou Site declares to the world that as early as 12000 years ago, our ancestors were able to make pottery, which is an important material evidence of China people's transition from primitive times to civilized times.

Records of drilling wood for fire in ancient books
Sui Renshi is a legendary inventor, which has been recorded in ancient books before Qin Dynasty. According to "Five Mistakes of Everything is done", "In ancient times, there were fewer people and more beasts, and the people were invincible; ..... People eat fruits, clams, clams, and the foul smell hurts the stomach and causes many diseases. There are saints who drill fire to make it stink, and the people call it (味味) to be the king of the world, which makes people embarrassed every day. " "quotations from corpses" said: "one looks up at the stars and overlooks five trees as fire." "Notes" said: "It can be seen that state-owned trees are famous all over the world. Later, saints swam to their country, birds pecked at trees, and they lit a big fire. The sage felt awkward because he used twigs to drill fire. " "Ancient History Examination" said: "At the beginning of ancient times, people sucked dew, ate grass and fruits, lived in mountains, ate birds and animals, ate clothes and feathers, and ate fish, turtles and clams near water without cremation, which was harmful to the stomach. Suiren's sculpture of drilling wood for fire
In order to make (yes) a saint come out, rule the king with fire, make a fire with a drill, teach people to cook, and cast gold as a blade to make people happy. "Three Graves" says: "Sui people teach us to eat with guns, drill wood for fire, have a missionary platform, and have a strategy of tying ropes." "Hanshu" also has a record of "teaching people to cook, nourishing people's interest, avoiding odor and removing poison". Mr. Shang He Bing, a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, said: "Fire comes from scratch and its invention is difficult." The emperor felt that the forest burned himself, and he knew that wood hides fire. I don't know. After many attacks and tests, it's tricky to drill wood. His merits and deeds have entered the nest again, and he is the emperor. It can be seen that the shackles at that time were sacred and the interests were profound. "He also said," In other words, it is said that cremation and diet started in Xixi, so it is considered as a number. Do you know that since man invented fire, his wisdom has not known how to eat? "The gunner wrapped the meat and burned it, burning its hair to make it familiar. In cooked food, Suiren not only invented artificial lighting, but also created cooked food. Mr. Shang also said in the Examination of Social Customs and Things in Past Dynasties: "From now on, before there is a fire, all meat will be eaten raw, and it will die because it is harmful to people. I don't know its quantity and taste. Get cooked food, the smell of meat suddenly fragrant, the indifference of vegetation suddenly sweet and crisp, water ice can be drunk, cold can be warm. Burn firewood at night to protect tigers and leopards, and talk about it later. My husband preached on the stage that when using the radio, everyone's feelings are the most rude method. Fuxi is more beautiful when I go to Fuxi. There is no doubt that it was created by a monk. Mr. Shang believes that Dai's happiness is a great achievement. If there is fire, it can be used as a tool such as a blade in metallurgy. Before the fire, everything was made of stone. This is the so-called Stone Age. "
Story restoration
In the ancient wild times, people didn't know there was fire or how to use it. At night, it was dark everywhere, wild animals roared one after another, and people crowded together, cold and scared. Because there is no fire, people can only eat raw food, often get sick and have a short life. There is a great god named Fuxi in the sky. He was sad to see that life on earth was so difficult. He wants people to know the purpose of fire. So Fuxi used his magical powers to bring down a thunderstorm in the mountains. With a crack, lightning struck the trees, and the trees burst into a raging fire, which soon became a raging fire. People were frightened by lightning and fire and fled everywhere. Soon, the thunderstorm stopped, night fell, and the land became colder and wetter after the rain. The scattered people got together again, and they looked at the burning trees in horror. At this time, a young man found that the howling of the wild animals that used to appear around him was gone. He thought, "Are wild animals afraid of this shiny thing?" So he bravely walked to the fire, and he found himself so warm. He greeted everyone excitedly: "Come on, this fire is not terrible at all, it brings us light and warmth!" " "At this time, people found that wild animals that were burned to death not far away gave off bursts of fragrance. People gathered by the fire and shared the burnt meat of wild animals, feeling that they had never tasted such delicious food. People feel the value of fire. They pick branches, make fires and keep them. Every day, people take turns watching the fire to keep it from going out. But one day, the man on duty fell asleep, and the branches of the torch burned out and went out. People fall into darkness and cold again, which is very painful. The great god Fuxi saw all this in the sky. He came to the dream of the first young man who discovered the use of fire and told him, "In the far west, there is a kingdom of Sui and Ming Dynasties, where there is fire. You can go there and get it back. "The young man woke up, thinking of what the Great God said in his dream, and decided to go to Suiming to find a fire. Young people crossed mountains and mountains, waded across rivers and forests, and went through hardships, and finally came to the Sui and Ming Dynasties. But there is no sunshine day and night here, it is dark everywhere, and there is no fire at all. The young man was very disappointed and sat under a big tree named Nianju to have a rest. Suddenly, a light flashed before the young man's eyes, shining brightly around him. The young man immediately stood up and looked around for a light source. At this time, he found several big birds pecking insects on the tree with short and hard beaks. As soon as they pecked, bright sparks shone on the trees. When the young man saw this scene, his mind flashed. He immediately broke some branches and drilled big branches with small branches. The branch was really ablaze, but it didn't catch fire. The young man is not discouraged. He found all kinds of branches and patiently rubbed them with different branches. Finally, smoke came out of the branches, and then it caught fire. The young man shed tears of joy. When young people return to their hometown, they bring people a kind of fire that never goes out-the method of drilling wood for fire. From then on, people no longer have to live in cold and fear. People were impressed by the young man's courage and wisdom, elected him as the leader, and called him "the man who made the fire", which means "the man who made the fire". Huang Sui Mausoleum, 2 kilometers southwest of Shangqiu City, is said to be the graveyard of Sui people. Its tomb is about 7 meters high and surrounded by four Zhou Songbai. In front of the tomb, there is an inscription by Mr. Yu, curator of the Chinese History Museum, and later generations carved stone statues to commemorate Sui Ren.
Significance of artificial fire
The invention of artificial fire ended the era of human eating hair and drinking blood and opened a new era of human civilization. Therefore, Suiren has always been respected and worshipped by people, and he is regarded as the head of Huang San and the "ancestor of fire". The invention of fire made human beings have creative warmth, provided weapons and conditions for the gathering of ancient human beings, and provided the roots for the emergence of human social thoughts. The invention of fire created the incubation period of China culture. The earliest primitive people didn't know how to use fire. Everything is eaten raw, not counting the fruits of plants. Even wild animals are eaten alive, even with blood in their hair. Later, the use of fire was invented (traces of fire have been found on the Peking man site in Zhoukoudian, indicating that the use of fire was known at that time). The phenomenon of fire has existed in nature for a long time. The volcano erupted and there was fire. When thunder and lightning strike, the forest will catch fire. But primitive people began to see fire, and instead of using it, they were scared to death. Later, I occasionally picked up a wild animal that was killed by fire and took it to taste. It tastes delicious. After many experiments, people gradually learned to eat with fire and tried to keep the fire burning all the year round. After a long time, people drilled hard and sharp wood on another hard piece of wood and drilled out Mars. Others beat flint (flint) to knock out the fire. This shows that workers can make fires (according to archaeological data, Neanderthals already know how to make artificial fires). Who invented it? Working people, of course, but in legend, it is said that it is a person named "Suiren". Artificial lighting is a great invention. Since then, people can eat cooked food at any time, and the variety of food has also increased. It is said that Suiren also taught people to fish. It turns out that fish, turtles, clams, clams and the like are raw and cannot be eaten. If you have a way to make a fire, you can cook them and eat them.
A new explanation of suiren's story
"Sui Stone Man" is found in ancient legends, and its deeds are "teaching people to drill wood for fire". This technological invention makes people no longer rely on natural fire to get kindling. The word "flint" means a tool for making a fire. Modern generally refers to flint, which can hit Mars by rubbing against each other. In the pre-Qin era, it mainly refers to the action of drilling fire, that is, using a wooden stick to quickly drill another wood to generate heat, which eventually becomes fire. In fact, the homophones of Sui, Tunnels, Sui and Jia are all related to the meaning of "crossing the darkness": Sui means completion, and its original meaning is equivalent to the tunnel in out of the dark, with the meaning of being suddenly enlightened, such as one's own wish and one's own wish. To dig a tunnel is to dig a tunnel, which is of course dark; Flint is to drill a hole in the wood block in order to make a fire; Deep meaning refers to the depth of space or time, just like in a tunnel, it is difficult to distinguish the prospect. It can be seen from these homophones that it is very likely that there was a legendary story about Suiren in that era when there were no words. The name "Suirenshi" itself describes the great invention of striking fire. Engels said: "As far as the liberation of the world is concerned, the friction fire still exceeds the steam engine. Because the friction fire made people dominate a natural force for the first time, and finally left the animal kingdom. " Mr. Guo Moruo said in China's Historical Draft: "The invention of artificial fire undoubtedly played an extremely important role in ancient human life, which attracted great attention from later generations ... Such a legend is certainly mixed with the life content of later generations and put on a mysterious coat, but it still reflects the simple historical background of ancient human life." An important discovery of Zhoukoudian in Beijing is the evidence that Beijingers use fire. The evidence includes ashes, charcoal blocks and burnt bones and stones. Because some ashes appear in piles, it shows that Beijingers have learned how to prevent the fire from spreading around, which means that Beijingers have controlled the fire. The discovery of evidence of Peking man using fire was the earliest known record of human using fire at that time. On the other hand, Beijing people's ability to manage and control fire shows that Beijing people are not the earliest human group to use fire, and the earliest time for human beings to start using fire should be advanced. Later, anthropologists from other countries also found many remains of fire in older Homo erectus sites in Africa and other places. For example, there are signs of fire in the primitive paleolithic culture found in Angola. From all indications, the history of human use of fire should be more than one million years. In fact, human beings first used fire to pursue bright psychological needs. Corresponding to the pursuit of light, human beings are born with deep fear of darkness. The horror of darkness has accompanied the whole history of mankind, and all decadent things that later threatened mankind were described as darkness. People have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Among them, vision is the most important information channel to perceive the outside world, and its information accounts for 80% of the total information obtained by human body, followed by hearing, and its information accounts for 10%. Losing feeling is a terrible thing. 1954, Canadian psychologists Herb and Kirsten conducted the first "sensory deprivation" experiment, in which the subjects were made to lie on the bed in a soundproof room, blindfolded, blocked their ears and put on gloves, which basically deprived them of their vision, hearing and touch. The results show that after being deprived of feelings, people will suffer unbearable pain. Most subjects can only persist for three days, and almost no one can endure it for more than a week. After being deprived of feelings, people's psychology will be abnormal, unable to concentrate and think continuously, some people will have hallucinations, some people will become neurotic and even have terror. Even after the experiment, their attention and thinking ability are still seriously affected, and it will take some time to recover. It can be seen that the sense of deprivation will bring serious psychological harm to people. Because vision gets 80% of our information, we can't help feeling uneasy in the dark. When people spend the night in the wild, they always try to light bonfires. Bonfire parties are people's favorite forms of entertainment, which is why. It is not difficult to imagine that as early as ancient times, human beings have used the fire of nature to obtain kindling to meet the psychological needs of pursuing light. With the improvement of fire skills, people have discovered more uses of fire, which makes fire more indispensable. In Chinese, the pronunciation of "fire" and "living" is the same. According to the principle of sound synonym, "fire" is "living" and "living" is "fire". Before there is no text, there is no difference between the two, or there is not much difference. Since there is no distinction between "fire" and "living", it shows that our ancestors had a unique understanding of "burning fire" and "living", two seemingly unrelated things. The essential significance of the distinction between "fire" and "living" is that fire is the basis of survival, and only with fire can we survive, but without fire can we not survive. Han Feizi explained why people use fire: "Before there was no fire, people ate raw food, and the foul smell of raw fruit clams would hurt the stomach, so it was easy to get sick." Some saints realized this and invented the method of drilling fire to get rid of it. " In fact, it is not appropriate for Han Feizi to explain ancient times with the knowledge of his time. First of all, when there is no fire, people's appetite can be eaten raw. Compared with other animals, eating raw is not easy to get sick. Secondly, there was no archaeology in Han Feizi's time, and the use of fire by human beings had a long history of ignorance. Third, Han Feizi failed to understand people's psychological feelings about darkness and light. This is the limitation of the times, and modern people can't demand Mr. Han Feizi for it. In fact, in the process of pursuing light and using fire, ancient ancestors found that another major function of fire was indeed cooking food, but it was not to remove the fishy smell or improve the taste of food, but to use fire to help eating. Humans don't have strong canine teeth, so they can't tear fresh meat like tigers, leopards and wolves Although the stone tools were invented a long time ago, the stone tools at that time were very rough and had poor ability to cut fresh meat, while cooked meat was easy to tear. Similarly, nuts roasted with fire are easy to peel. So in ancient times, the meaning of "cooked food is delicious" is not delicious, but easy to eat in the stomach. With the help of fire, human beings can eat more, greatly expanding the food sources and improving their viability. In Dadiwan site in Gansu and Banpo site in Shaanxi, every original house in the semi-crypt has a fire pit, and it must be located at the entrance. This position reveals a very important message. If it is only for lighting and heating, the fire pit should be located in the middle of the house, and the effect is the best. Located at the entrance, it shows that the fire pit has another important function, which is to prevent wild animals from sneaking in at midnight. Now people often think a priori that after human beings invented housing, they invented doors to block the entrance of the house. In fact, doors are also complicated things, and it is hard to say that the invention of doors was invented by a saint with a brainwave. It can be reasonably assumed that when the ancestors of China invented the semi-crypt residence, there was no door at first, but fire was used as the door to prevent wild animals from entering the room, and the fire pit was the earliest door. Therefore, the original location of the fireplace shows that the Chinese ancestors at that time had realized that wild animals were afraid of fire and could be driven away by fire. Ancestors used this principle to chase and round up wild animals with fire, or to defend themselves with fire, thus greatly improving their viability. It also shows that mature fire fighting technology is the technical guarantee for people to build houses and settle on the ground, so the living space of human beings is greatly expanded. From the above analysis, it can be seen that fire is closely related to the two survival needs of ancient ancestors. It is impossible to meet people's demand for fire just by taking fire from natural fire, so it is imperative to take fire artificially. We know that because of the high ignition point of wood, although drilling wood will produce heat, it is difficult to reach the heat of igniting wood. Therefore, when drilling wood for fire, flammable fire should be placed at the drilling point, and the fire should be lit first before doing other things. Mr. Liu once analyzed two other methods of making fire in ancient China, namely, "making fire with beads" and "making fire with ice", and thought that both methods used convex lenses to refract and converge the rays of the sun, and put flammable substances such as moxa at the intersection of light and heat to make fire. It is likely that the kindling when drilling wood for fire is also flammable materials such as moxa. It can be found that the friction of drilling wood can occasionally heat up, and it can also happen when trying to drill wood to heat up, but it is not so easy to find a suitable kindling. Edison, the great inventor, invented the incandescent lamp, and only tried to use thousands of materials as the filament. It can be imagined that the method of drilling wood for fire invented by the ancients is also a difficult exploration process. It is almost certain that the first artificial flame was accidentally lit by an addict on the basis of generations of exploration and knowledge accumulation. Just because of the age, the name of the first man-made flame was drowned in the dust of history. Maybe people at that time didn't have names at all. When people suddenly pay attention to fire one day in later history, they call it "Suiren's" to illustrate the problem. In fact, it means nothing more than "the ancestor who invented fire". Because of this, ancient scholars also recorded the invention right of artificial fire in other people's names. "Guan pian" said that "Emperor Yan drilled fire".
Edit this historical record to record other inventions.
Introduction to knotting notes
According to ancient records, Suiren not only invented "drilling wood to make fire", but also invented "tying rope" to name animals, build a missionary platform and promote transactions. At that time, human beings had no words, and many things in life were memorized by the brain, but after a long time, some things were often forgotten. Suiren rubbed the soft and tough bark into a string, then hung dozens of strings neatly in one place and tied them to make notes. Big things are tied up, and small things are summarized. What happened first is played inside, and what happened later is played outside. In order to be able to record more things, Suiren also used the natural colors of plants to dye the strings in various colors, each color representing a thing, making the recorded things clearer. Before Suiren, people called all animals "bugs". After careful observation, Sui Renshi divided these animals into four categories: birds flying in the sky, animals running on the ground, reptiles with feet and reptiles without feet. In order to teach people all kinds of knowledge about nature and society, Suiren built a special earthen platform in the village, which people called "missionary platform". He often stands on the stage and gives speeches for everyone. He told people: how to barbecue food with fire when hungry, how to keep warm with fire when cold, how to attack prey with fire when hunting, and how to scare them away with fire when wild animals attack ... It is said that the prosperity of China began with Suiren.
The beginning of China's documented history of civilization.
Suiren's family looked at the stars and worshipped the sky in Kunlun Mountain and found the "sky". Inspired by Heaven, Suiren began to name everything in the mountains and rivers, and there was a "tunnel". The virtue of heaven and earth breeds everything, and people respect everything. Suiren named human beings after Feng, restricted people's marriage by blood, and strictly distinguished human beings from animals. This is the early human ethics, that is, "human nature." From heaven to tunnel, from the way of heaven and earth to human nature, this is the view of heaven, which is "one life, two lives, three lives and three things". Heaven, earth and people all start from obscurity and then become famous. Fame opens the world and people are civilized. China's recorded 9000-year history of civilization began.

In the southwest of Shangqiu ancient city 1.5km, there is a tall mausoleum, which is one of the cemeteries in Huang San. Suihuangling
According to Han Feizi, Taiping Yu Lan and other ancient books, people used to eat raw food in ancient times. Raw food smells bad, hurts the stomach and is easy to get sick. Later, people found that the food cooked by fire was delicious and easy to digest. However, it is difficult for people to get and keep fires, because natural fires caused by lightning strikes are few and go out in a short time.
One legend is that ...
At that time, a saint was inspired by the sparks generated by birds pecking at wood, so he broke off the branches of wood and drilled wood to make a fire. He taught people this method. Since then, human beings have learned to make artificial fire, bake food, light it, keep warm, and smell it with fire, and human life has entered a new stage. People call this saint the Suiren surname, and call him "the head of Huang San". Shangqiu has another saying about the fire made by Suiren. Shangqiu was a mountain forest in ancient times. Suiren, who lives in the mountains, often preys on wild animals. When rocks that hit wild animals collide with rocks, sparks often occur. Inspired by this, Suiren hit a stone with a stone, lit the tinder with the generated sparks, and made a fire. This fire-making method was still used in Shangqiu countryside thirty years ago.
