A Study On The Auspicious Culture In Qin And Han Bamboo Slips And Silk Unearthed In Chu

This paper takes the Qin and Han Dynasties as the time range,the Chu area as the regional range,and the unearthed bamboo and silk documents as the material range,and combines the unearthed bamboo and silk documents with the handed down documents,and then summarizes,collates,and contrasts and analyzes the auspicious culture seen under the intersection of the three areas.Auspicious culture originates from the primitive thinking of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil,which guides practice,forms various beliefs and witchcraft,and supports the birth of auspicious culture.The belief and witchcraft of Chu are influenced by factors such as geography,environment,race,and political system,and have their own characteristics.They also benefit from the Yi Zhan and Yin Yang Five Element Theory,and the rich content of auspicious culture.The auspicious culture in Chu culture has basically formed.The auspicious culture in Chu culture is the origin of the auspicious culture in Qin and Han bamboo slips and silk unearthed in Chu.The auspicious culture in Qin and Han bamboo and silk unearthed from Chu includes auspicious times,auspicious language and writing,auspicious deities,and auspicious behaviors.They are rooted in various forms in the political,economic,social,and military aspects of human groups,helping people solve various problems.Therefore,the auspicious culture recorded in the bamboo slips and silks of the Qin,Han,and Chu regions represents a universal auspicious culture with a wide audience.Given that this auspicious culture is limited by both time and region,namely the Qin and Han dynasties and the Chu region,it will correspondingly carry the characteristics of the Qin and Han dynasties and the regional characteristics of the Chu region.During the Warring States,Qin and Han dynasties,the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements was widely popular,and the content of auspicious culture was influenced by it,resulting in a strong color of Yin Yang and Five Elements.The main content of the auspicious culture in the Qin,Han,and Chu regions is supported by the auspicious culture of the Chu state,with a distinct Chu style.After Qin conquered Chu,he made great efforts to change customs and traditions,but the deeply rooted Chu culture was difficult to shake.In the Qin and Han bamboo slips and silk unearthed from the Chu region,it is not only possible to see the inherent auspicious cultural characteristics of the Chu style,but also to glimpse the clues of the Qin culture’s efforts to transform the auspicious cultural content of the Chu style.The auspicious culture found in the Qin and Han bamboo slips and silk unearthed from the Chu region largely reflects the expectations of the lower class people for practical interests,expressing the real living conditions and needs of the people at that time.It is precisely because various auspicious cultural methods are practical and easy,and can obtain rich returns without much cost,which is deeply loved by the middle and lower class people.The common function of auspicious culture is to comfort people’s hearts,and for rulers,auspicious culture is a powerful tool for maintaining political stability.The auspicious culture in the Qin and Han bamboo slips and silk unearthed in Chu has already crossed the boundaries of dynasties and has a cultural status that connects the past and the future.This auspicious culture has the characteristics of both Chu and Qin cultures,and has a significant impact on the folk customs,religious beliefs,and auspicious cultural content of the Chinese nation in the later generations of Chu.Auspicious culture is a social practice product of material and spiritual coexistence formed by people in pursuit of all beneficial material and spiritual happiness for themselves,and is an indispensable part of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.The auspicious culture of the Qin and Han dynasties flourished and flourished,with the integration and blending of the Yangtze River basin culture in the south and the Yellow River basin culture in the north.The auspicious culture of the Qin,Han,and Chu regions,which had both northern and southern characteristics,was a distinct representative of it.The extensive excavation of bamboo and silk documents in the Qin,Han,and Chu regions made it a reality to study the auspicious culture in the unearthed Qin,Han,and Chu bamboo and silk.
