Misreading the Book of Searching Gods: Let the drowned people go to be the river uncle, and the appointment of the Heavenly Court is full of bad taste

Feng Yidang Hebo: How serious are the consequences of going out and not looking at the yellow calendar

In the Song Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period, in the small village by the river embankment of Tongxiang In Huayin County, Hongnong County, there was a man named Feng Yi, who was very prestigious in the township. According to the yellow calendar, on the day of Gengge in early August, it is not advisable to cross the river by boat, otherwise it is easy to drown and cannot return home. Feng Yi did not take these things to heart, and happened to go out of the door on Gengri, and then unfortunately drowned while crossing the river. The Heavenly Emperor felt that Feng Yi's virtue was good, so he appointed him as Hebo. The Book of Five Elements records Feng Yi's black history.

Comment: The principle of the Emperor of Heaven appointing officials seems to be relatively arbitrary. It is also very interesting to let a drowned person be a river boy, and think about it carefully. For the party Feng Yi, although it is a black history, it is not a good home to become a river god after death. To add an additional knowledge point, in the pre-Qin classics, Hebo is generally tacitly regarded as the river god of the Yellow River.
