The story of the "Zhang" character of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang
Zhang
It is pronounced zhāng
Usually used as a noun
It is a kind of jade in ancient times, and it is also a kind of ceremonial vessel
It is one of the six ancient ritual jade vessels
Add one more knowledge point
The ancient ritual jade six instruments are respectively
Yu Bi, Yu Chun, Yu Gui, Yu Huang, Yu Hu, Yu Zhang
According to the Zhou Li, it is recorded
(The Son of Heaven) made jade into six vessels to honor the four sides of the world
The walls of the heavens are blessed with yellow treachery
To the east with Qing Gui, to the south with Chi Zhang
With the white amber ceremony to the west, with the Xuanhuang ceremony to the north
Among them, Chizhang is a kind of Jade Zhang
Today we mainly tell the story of Yuzhang
The story of other ceremonial vessels we rescheduled to tell
According to the Zhou Li
There are 5 kinds of jade zhang, including chi zhang, large zhang, middle zhang, side zhang, and tooth zhang
As mentioned above, "Chizhang" is dedicated to suzaku, the god of the south

Photo note: Suzaku, the god of fire in the south
"Dazhang, Zhongzhang, Bianzhang"
When the Son of Heaven patrolled, he used to pay tribute to the mountains and rivers
Large mountain river large, Nakayama river nakaba, Oyama river 边璋
When the mountain is sacrificed, it is buried on the peak
When the water is sacrificed, sink into the river
Picture note: Qin Shi Huang paraded the world map
Tooth Zhang
Some experts speculate that it is used as a similar soldier charm
But it was actually the time when the children used the army
Ritual vessels to pay homage to the Taimiao Temple or the Heavens
The main military affairs
The joy of Lang Zhang
The ancient Chinese also used the term "the joy of making Zhang" to describe holding grandchildren
In ancient times
If a family has a big fat boy
At the time of the full moon, let the boy play with Yuzhang in bed
Other guests will also send the host Yuzhang as a congratulatory gift
Interject
If a family has a daughter, it is called "The Joy of Nonwa"
Not the tiles on the room
It is a component on a loom
It means that girls can only do weaving things
Take the name with the word
The ancients also used it as a name word, implying the weight of the country
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang! For example, Feng Guozhang!
Zhang
For the left and right structure, next to the king character, a total of 16 paintings, the stroke order is written as follows
Zhang
Although Yuzhang appeared very early
At the Sanxingdui archaeological site, Yuzhang was found
However, the text first appeared on bronze ware in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was written as follows:
This word is written in the same way as the earlier "chapter"
Because of the earliest Yuzhang
In fact, it is used to sacrifice the southern Suzaku God
This word is the ritual pattern of the high priest holding a jade to worship the suzaku god
The pattern of the tian zigzag below is a perforated jade zhang, tied with a colorful ribbon
There is also a saying
Above this word is Xin, Xin Wuxing belongs to gold
It means torture
Below is a field pattern
It represents a ritual pattern engraved on the face of a prisoner or prisoner
Used to worship the Temple
For example, the sheep-leading ceremony after the Second Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty was captured by the Jin Dynasty
So it seems
The word derives from the ritual of the Son of Heaven using yazhang to worship with soldiers
So
Whether it is Akatsuki, the god of suzaku
Or use the soldiers to worship the tooth zhang
All are the use scenarios of Zhang as a ceremonial instrument
Zhang
In the Spring and Autumn period, it is written as follows
On the left side, a royal character representing the material jade has been added next to it
All the "Wang" wang characters are made to represent items related to the material of jade
The meaning is for the king's use
The lower jade ribbon on the right is more graphic
Zhang
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the small seal was written as follows
This word is basically extended from the previous version
The right side changes more
It may be that the priest sang and danced while offering jade to the gods
or
The back can be seen as a sound and cross composition
Probably at the time of the sacrifice of heaven and earth
The most important liturgical music becomes the core
One is the beginning, ten is the end
Ten groups of liturgical music represent one chapter
Represents the entire process of etiquette from start to finish
Zhang
At present, it is written as follows
The left side is still next to the king word
The right side evolved into what it is now
Just retained the element of tone + ten
But through jade, music, chapters
We can still basically relate to the origin of the ancient ritual vessels of worship to the gods
To sum up
Zhang
Ancient as Yuzhang
It is a ceremonial vessel for worshipping the gods of heaven and the earth of mountains and rivers
It is an important medium of communication with nature and the gods
So many people like to use this word to name their children
That's a very tall word
This is the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhangzi
