玄鸟之虞
玄鸟之虞
玲子
《诗经•商颂•玄鸟》有“天命玄鸟,降而生商”的典故,讲述远古时名叫简狄之妇性,外出游玩时遇到一枚燕卵,吞服后怀孕,生出了“契”。后来“契”成了殷商的始祖。无论此传说唯美度如何,它点演了我国文化的发祥地――殷商启国的轨迹。既然商的后代说自己的先袓――契是由玄鸟生下来的,非食人间烟火,才建立强大的商朝。那么玄鸟就成了商君包括后来数代开国帝王们的图腾崇拜了。
可玄鸟的含义却众说纷纭。有人认为是朱雀或者凤凰。朱为赤色,像火,南方属火,故名凤凰。它有浴火重生的特性,和西方的不死鸟一样,故又叫火凤凰,另外,作为百鸟之王,它也是一种美丽吉祥的鸟类,仪态万千,歌声婉转动人,拥有“非梧桐不栖,非竹实不食,非醴泉不饮”的特殊灵性,德性高洁,常常拿来比喻纯性贤达之人,从宗教意义上讲,也算是极致灵物了。神鸟在现实中是没有对应物的,权作燕子,锦鸡,孔雀等漂亮鸟类的形象复合物而已。
无独有偶的是,西方的《圣经》记载也有异曲同工之妙。耶酥生于马槽, 耶稣的出生是因着圣灵成孕,由童女马利亚所生。神派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟,叫他不要因为马利亚未婚怀孕而不要她,反而要与她成亲,把那孩子起名为“耶稣”,意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出来,耶酥因此也成为人间的救主。后来人们为纪念上帝的出生,延续起了过圣诞节的习俗。
这两则传说的相同之处在于,神和人找到了玄秘的沟通,神权和天罚思想既起到对莫测的大自然的驾驭的印证作用,也强调了人君所呈现出来的对于俗间百姓的震慑力,找到了当权者奉行天命以代理人间治权的合理依据。
有意思的是,为什么神人相通的途径不是常人所遵循的男女媾和的生育之道,而是遮掩了天机的奇妙幻象?吞卵与灵孕显然属于不可揭密的情形,它们究竟有着什么样的难于言传的心态,使之高于人类自身繁衍的位阶?
在自然生育的领域,早期人类肯定充满着不可知的悬念。阴阳合而百象生,是一种天经地义的大道说,而科学打破了这一规律。非配偶人工受精试管婴儿的诞生,先进的无性生育时代的即将来临,将传统的由男女两性交媾生育后代、女性怀孕生子的生育方式用全新的高科技生物技术生育手段取代。因而,对于玄鸟生商的伦理学疑问,也势必可以找到现代医学诠释的合理依据。在九十年代初,吉林省初试吃螃蟹的独创,率先在计划生育条例里规定,对终身不婚妇女可以采取合法医学辅助生育技术手段生育一个孩子。这样看来,生育的玄秘,和制造产品的流水线一样简单无二,“吞卵”与“灵孕”这种看似不可能的幻象的解密,只不过是一种单性繁殖的古典暗喻罢了。
当然,这不意味着伦理不存在。人类的羞涩或者知耻是善恶、好坏、是非观的体现,没有其他社会规范,如不可取缔的哲学,美学,社会学,法学,宗教,习俗,伦理的合力规制,单靠医学的超前发展是无法因循人类自身发展的秩序的。应该担心的是,如果不加掌控的话,玄鸟的混同物种,比如鸟头人身,或者人头马体的有悖人类尊严的异类的出现,不仅不会给人类带来物种的进化和择优,还会让我们陷入自设的尴尬陷阱中不可理喻。那时,不仅仅是传说的幻象,而是人类的自我毁灭的悲哀时代的到来。

Dear Lingzi,
The similarity happened well before the bible record of Jesus.
<1>The bible itself is an abstract from olden cuneiform scripts of Babylonian, Egyptian and Akkadian origin. Those scripts were variations from a single source of Sumerian cuneiform clay tablets. Most of these tablets are in major museums in London and Germany.
<2> In Egyptian folklore, there was this Benben bird (not a phoenix), which came and started civilization. It later returned regularly to give further instructions to the priest.
<3> Before that, the Sumerian cuneiform clay tablet recorded the arrival of gods known as Annunaki, who provided the floor plan <1>and technology to make clay-molded bricks<2> and created the first Temple and, later, Babylonian step pyramid. One of their goddess stole a major chunk of a knowhow capsule and gave them to the humans. It was recorded that this goddess<3> traveled to the East at about 2260 BC. Its related Middle Eastern construction technology was recorded in India, Sichuan of China and even Cambodia. In the West, it was linked to major civilizations all the way to South America.
<4> Floor plan <1> The first Jewish temple in Jerusalem had extreme similarity with the Sumerian one and, later, the temple in England that was featured in the movie ‘The Da Vinci Code’.
<5> Clay molded brick粘土砖<2> This was discovered in San Xing Dui (3 star hill 三星堆) in Sichuan of China, but its significance was overlooked. As for the rest of China, zhong tu qiang 舂土墙(wall made of pounded earth) was the local construction technology then. But the bronze face mask青铜面具, the royal staff 权杖(rod-like apparatus representing regal authority) and the superior bronze processing technology going well beyond those used in the rest of China at the time was one of the issues which made some scholars and archaeologists unhappy in China, especially the presence of a golden tree 黄金树(featured in Sumerian records and the bible as a tree of life or tree of wisdom) and great amount of seashells of Arabian Sea origin.
<6> Not far from San Xing Dui is a historical site which is about a few hundreds years more recent, called Jin Sha Yiji 金沙遗迹(Golden Sand site). Most of the finds are similar, but the bronze processing technology is retarded instead of advanced. These finds are almost identical with the bronze artifacts of the Shang Dynasty but with a slight advantage. This upset the scholars and archaeologist of China in a big way, in that the site was kept a secret. Until the local farmers were so envious of the progress in Xian 西安over the tomb of Qin Shi Huang秦始皇, they donated funds voluntarily and with the local officials they built a museum despite the blockade by the archaeologists and ancient history scholars.
<7> Actually, the Chinese archaeologists and ancient history scholars should not be too upset. The Shang Dynasty商朝 and Babylonian share many cultural similarities, with their state of technology such as metallurgy of bronze processing actually showing a certain level of degradation from the Sumerian era. In both cultures, an act of augury evolved into a major political ceremony and decision-making process of the ruling structure.
<8> Whether some of civilization of China did come from the West, the most tale-telling sign in those times was around the time of the Shang or earlier Dynasty. The major deity in China mythology then was Xi Wang Mu 西王母(Western Mother Goddess) which coincided with the records of the Sumerian goddess<3> who traveled eastward around 2260BC.
<9> In Sumerian cuneiform clay tablet history, it was described that humans were conceived out of the experiment and carried to full term by a goddess. Today, DNA evidence shows that all humans have a single mother 150,000 to 200,000 years ago.
<10> To make the Chinese archaeologists and scholars even more embarrassed, Quo Moruo, once a Political Bureau of PRC member (who made a systematic study of characters that were recorded on the Oracle bone fragments甲骨文 as well as bronze artifacts of the Shang Dynasty and propagated the belief that some of Confucius’ teachings were fabricated and that it contradicted the historical events as recoded in Oracle 甲骨文 and bronze texts钟鼎文) recorded in his study that the Chinese character ‘emperor’ 帝– ‘di’ − was adapted from Babylonian cuneiform text.
Wow! this was 3 years of my research. All publication rights andintellectual rights reserved.

[quote="kokho"]Dear Lingzi,

谢谢,KOKHO
非玲子不敬,才有意迟回您的帖子。你所用的专业术语太多,让我一时难以读得全懂,对此表示抱歉。大致,我理解了您的意思,您所从事的三年的研究,是否属于考古学或者人类学的内容?
有关玄鸟的单性繁殖暗喻和你文中所言的抟土(陶土?)造人的传说,还有你说的楔形文字、苏美尔文明、四川三星堆青铜代有无必然关联,是不是也是单性母系的某种象征,真的很新鲜的比较文化,边缘得很。我赞赏您的严谨和热情,还有你文字里广博的知识背景和智慧。希望能读到您更多有趣的研究成果。
新年到了,特在此祝贺您新年快乐,诸事顺利!
玲子敬上

和平岛兄取笑俺了。是真的没读太懂,也许出去外语进步快些。
祝你联赛成功,新年新收获! |

给玲子回好,
母性承权 在商朝或更远古的时期,有特别的意义;
我会在这里,另文扑上。。。
这些都是业余兴趣 也祝玲子 和平岛新年快乐 |
