"Poetry,Shang Song,XuanNiao" : "Heaven's destiny,XuanNiao,born to Shang,Expanding the Land of Yin Nationality ".From the analysis of its rhetoric characteristics,creative background and story style,it can be proved that it is the original praise of the Shang people.The story idea of "XuanNiao Shengshang" which was eulogized by the Shang people was formed in the early Shang civilization,which embodies the Shang people's respect for XuanNiao.Jane Di,the Qimu of the Hu family,is the mother of the myth of XuanNiao.However,for the land with Hu,the traditional theories of "water of the Xuanqiu" and "there is still" have their limitations.Combining with the investigation of the ruins of the Lou,the unexpected places and the war-related places of Tang Huahu,it is proved that the place should be in the south of Shanxi Province.The Hu clan,represented by Jandi,is adjacent to many ancient Zhai people in southern Shanxi.The Zhai people's name is related to the original bird worship,and the Shang people's belief in XuanNiao was born in this regional cultural tradition.XuanNiao is Gao Mei of Shang origin,and most of the handed down documents explain the origin of Shang nationality with Gao Xin praying for Gao Mei.The change from businessman Yushun to businessman Yue reflects the traces of the evolution under the orthodox etiquette rules of Zongzhou to the Western Han Dynasty.Its real purpose is to strengthen the unification and consolidate the Confucian system.Yushun clan,which was active in the southern part of Jin Dynasty during the Five Emperors' Period,was respected by the Shang clan.From the analysis of the connotation of clan name and the original religious connotation of XuanNiao worship,the pheasant and phoenix worship of Yushun clan had something in common with the XuanNiao belief of Shang clan.The Shang Shun worship was a pursuit achievement based on XuanNiao belief.Phoenix is the wind god of Yin people.The Phoenix found in Oracle Inscriptions is in the south of Jin Dynasty.The "phoenix","sparrow","feather" and Oracle Inscriptionsin Shang Dynasty have much to do with southern Shanxi.Their tribe has obvious nomadic characteristics.The pheasant pheasant culture reflected by the names of many ancient tribes and landmarks in southern Shanxi provides evidence for the origin of the belief in XuanNiao of Shang nationality.The transition of regional culture caused by the national environment recommended by Rongdi and Zhuhua in southern Shanxi has affected the development of XuanNiao belief of Shang nationality and enriched the connotation of XuanNiao culture.Xuanwang Shangqi is the direct carrier of Shang XuanNiao belief.The reason for the rise of Shang nationality in traditional literature is that Shang Qi assists Dayu to control water.It is because the tribal alliances in southern Shanxi in Tangyu period merged with each other in the cause of water control.Shang Zunxia reflects the cultural melting of Shang XuanNiao belief originated from water control.From the initial cause of water control to the position of Shang nationality's waterfront capital in later generations,it also proves the regional law of Shang nationality's origin and migration.
