Wuchuan country in Guizhou Province is known as the cradle of Kelao. Currently, the Kelao population is mainly distributed in Wuchuan County and Daozhen County in Guizhou Province. The rest of them live in Guiyang, Liupanshui, Zunyi, Tongren, Bijie, Anshun, etc. Only a small number of them live in Yunnan Province, Guangxi Province, and Vietnam. Those living in Guizhou take up more than 97% of the total. As one of the earliest explorers of the Guizhou Plateau, the Kelao people has a long history. There is a saying going around the Guizhou people, “Kelao are barbarians, they opened up wasteland.” The Kelao people can trace their origin to the Pu people in ancient China. Even to this date, “Kelao” is referred to as “Pu” in the Yi language of northwest Guizhou. Moreover, places where Kelao‟s ancestors once lived are named after “Pu”. For example, the Beipan River is known as “Pu Tu Zhu Yi”, meaning “a river dug by the Pu people”; Anshun is called “Pu Li”, meaning “a place resided by the Pu people”. The Pu people is an ethnic group with a vast distribution. In the pre-Qin dynasty, they were active in today‟s Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Hubei. Because of the large number of Pu‟s branches, the Pu people were also known as “Bai Pu”, which means one hundred kinds of Pu people . In the late Shang dynasty (1600 to 1046 B.C), the Pu people fought in the war against the King Zhou of Shang under the leadership of King Wu of Zhou. After the founding of the Zhou dynasty (1045 BC to 256 BC), the Pu people became its subordinates. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the society of the Pu people already entered the stage of tribal alliance. During the Spring and Autumn Period (771 to 476 BCE), the Pu people fought with the Chu State, which resulted in the narrowing of their activity scope, leading to its union with other people. Part of them were forced to migrate to west Hunan and the Guizhou Plateau, whose residents became the main residents of today‟s Guizhou. In the long process of the existence and procreation, the Kelao people has developed and enriched the history and culture of the Guizhou Plateau together with other peoples, which includes rich cinnabar myth. This paper attempts to come to grips with a set of widely ranging but connected problems concerning cinnabar myths: their relation to the history ; their validity and scope; the range of possible mythical functions in contemporary times. 8 Yi Yang; J Human Cul Stud; Vol-2, Iss- 3 (May-Jun, 2021): 8-13 Kelao’s cinnabar myth food. This is an early legend about how cinnabar was Cinnabar constitutes the main mineral ingredient to discovered. extract mercury. According to research of Professor Fang Hui from Shandong University, the cinnabar Princess consort set up the memorial tablet for culture of the Chinese nation can be traced back to the cinnabar for cinnabar saved her life.

Many vassal states and the Da already used cinnabar as pigments to make colorful Yuan State founded by the Pu people refused to pay paintings. During the Yangshao Cultural Period, respects to him. Therefore, Xia Jie raised an army to cinnabar found its applications in rituals. In tombs of attack Pu but suffered a serious defeat instead. Then, the Yin and Shang dynasties, cinnabar was found to Xia Jie turned to attack Shishi Clan, the latter of which cover the bodies. was no match of the former, and had to marry Meixi, the beauty of the clan, to Xia Jie. Xia Jia liked Meixi a The Classic of Mountains and Sea, also known as lot. He was indulged in having fun with Mei Xi all day Shan Hai Jing, is a Chinese classic text and a long. People blamed Meixi for the disaster of the compilation of mythic geography and beasts. It is country. A person named Guoqing had a plan to let largely a fabulous geographical and cultural account of Meixi leave the palace. The moment Meixi left the pre-Qin China as well as a collection of Chinese palace, she was chased after by killers. Meixi‟s guards mythology. In this book, records of cinnabar appear sacrificed their lives to protect her. At this moment, more than once. For example, “Gui mountain has Guoqing shouted loudly, “The female with a black mole Danli.” “South mountain has Danli.” “Niaowei on her forehead is Meixi. Whoever kills her can get mountain has Danli.” “Yuyang mountain has Danli.”As handsome rewards.” Hearing this, Meixi‟s maid explained by Guo Pu, a geographer of the Jin dynasty, changed the clothes with Meixi, the latter of whom “Danli” is a kind of cinnabar with finer particles. drew a black mole on her forehead, while Meixi covered her black mole using cinnabar with her. The Shu Wen Jie Zi, the first Chinese dictionary that faked Meixi was hacked to death, but the real Meixi analyses the forms and origins of words, defines escaped and went back to the palace. The King of Xia “cinnabar” as “a kind of red stores in southwest was deeply attracted by the mole between Meixi‟s regions”. As rare resources in North China, cinnabar is eyebrows and named it “Beauty‟s Mole”. This marked distributed concentratedly in Southwest China. The the start of the tradition of creating the “Beauty‟s Mole” Kelao people were the earliest in the world to discover using cinnabar in China. Meixi thought that it was and use cinnabar. Ancestors of the Kelao people cinnabar that saved her life, so she set up a memorial collected cinnabar to make mercury. Back to the Taiwu tablet for cinnabar.

The Upper Permian Wujiaping Stage in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region is mainly composed of carbonate rocks and clastic rocks, with lesser amounts of siliceous rocks, pyroclastic rocks, volcanic rocks and coal. The rocks can be divided into three types, including clastic rock, clastic rock-limestone and lime- stone-siliceous rock, and four fundamental ecological types and four fossil assemblages are recognized in the Wujiaping Stage. Based on a petrological and palaeoecological study, six single factors were selected, namely, thickness (m), content (%) of marine rocks, content (%) of shallow water carbonate rocks, content (%) of biograins with limemud, content (%) of thin- bedded siliceous rocks and content (%) of deep water sedimentary rocks. Six single factors maps of the Wujiaping Stage and one lithofacies palaeogeography map of the Wujiaping Age were composed. Palaeogeographic units from west to east include an eroded area, an alluvial plain, a clastic rock platform, a carbonate rock platform where biocrowds developed, a slope and a basin. In addition, a clastic rock platform exists in the southeast of the study area. Hydro- carbon source rock and reservoir conditions were preliminarily analyzed based on lithofacies palaeogeography.

But from West Jin Dynasty there appeared disyllabic words including “维” and the situation of co-existing of monosyllabic words and disyllabic words lasted till the Republic of China. Now “维” as a word disappeared and only as a morpheme in disyllabic or multisyllabic words. The transformation from a monosyllabic word to a monosyllabic morpheme is a very common phenomenon in Chinese. Keywords “Wei”(维), syntactic evolvement, morphemization 1. Introduction The word “Wei”(维) is a very common morpheme in modern Chinese, but its evolution is of specialty which is worth exploring. In Chinese history, a morpheme has ever been a word which could be used independently, but in modern Chinese, many monosyllabic words lower their status to monosyllabic morphemes (Dong Xiufang, 2004). “维”was a word in ancient times, which is pictophonetic while its character from 糸(mì)and 隹(zhuī). “糸” means “rope, string”. The combination of “糸”and “隹” means ‘to draw forth more than three ropes from a higher place to the ground and enclose a hollow cone’. The original meaning is “rope” which is used to form a cone.

  • Mythical Image of “Queen Mother of the West” and Metaphysical Concept of Chinese Jade Worship in Classic of Mountains and Seas
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue11, Ver. 6 (Nov. 2016) PP 39-46 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Mythical Image of “Queen Mother of the West” and Metaphysical Concept of Chinese Jade Worship in Classic of Mountains and Seas Juan Wu1 (School of Foreign Language,Beijing Institute of Technology, China) Abstract: This paper focuses on the mythological image, the Queen Mother of the West in Classic of Mountains and Seas, to explore the hiding history and mental reality behind the fantastic literary images, to unveil the origin of jade worship, which plays an significant role in the 8000-year-old history of Eastern Asian jade culture, to elucidate the genetic mechanism of the jade worship budded in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, so that we can have an overview of the tremendous influence it has on Chinese civilization, and illustrate its psychological role in molding the national jade worship and promoting the economic value of jade business. Key words: Mythical Image, Mythological Concept, Jade Worship, Classic of Mountains and Seas I. WHITE JADE RING AND QUEEN MOTHER OF THE WEST As for the foundation and succession myths of early Chinese dynasties, Allan holds that “Ancient Chinese literature contains few myths in the traditional sense of stories of the supernatural but much history” (Allan, 1981: ix) and “history, as it appears in the major texts from the classical period of early China (fifth-first centuries B.C.),has come to function like myth” (Allan, 1981: 10). While “the problem of myth for Western philosophers is a problem of interpreting the meaning of myths and the phenomenon of myth-making” as Allan remarks, “the problem of myth for the sinologist is one of finding any myths to interpret and of explaining why there are so few.” (Allen, 1991: 19) To decode why white jade enjoys a prominent position in the Chinese culture, the underlying conceptual structure and unique culture genes should be investigated.
