But it is also the name of the God of Ramparts, and Ditches, called the City God, or the Celestial Mandarin. The fortified cities in China were surrounded by a wall (cheng) made of two battle walls, the space between filled with earth. The earth is from a ditch (huang) created outside the first wall. The Cheng-Huang is the official (god) of the town. All the cities and towns and village Cheng-huang were together in a celestial Ministry of Justice headed by the chief Cheng Huang.
The worship of the ministry and in particular the Chief Cheng Huang dates from the Emperor Yao (2357-2255 B.C.) who instituted a sacrifice called the Pa Cha in honor of the 8 Spirits, the seventh called then Shui Yung (City water) which corresponding to the dyke/rampart later called the Cheng Huang. The city moat and wall protected the people hence the worship.
The Cheng Huang protected, as a magistrate does, the city from evil spirits able to release demons of drought and plague harassing the city and its environs. The city magistrate would take a case he cannot resolve to the Cheng Huang for resolution since it can see what he a mere human cannot. In times of drought and plague the image of Cheng Huang was brought outside so he might see what is happening. Sacrifices were made to the image.
An actual warrior or city official of each town was often appointed as the representative of the Cheng Huang for the city. This practice was widespread by the Sung dynasty. The appointment had to be sanctioned by head of the Taoist religion (Chang Tao-ling). Emperors would some times honor the Cheng Huang of a city with the title Wang (king), Kung (Duke), Hou (Marquis) or Po (Count).
The festival of Cheng Huang occurs on the 21st day of the 5th moon and the 25th day of the 9th moon (anniversary). Parades are held, and there are sacrifices of pigs and sheep are made to him on the first and 15th of every month. He is celebrated also in the New Year festival. The three annual festivals have parades to him.
In temples he is represented surrounded by his important attendants and officials: Two secretaries, two constables - Niu Tou (Ox Head) and Ma Mien (Horse Face) and Hei Lao-yeh (Sir Black) with Pai Lao-yeh (Sir White). It is the duty of these to keep him informed on what is happening in his city and environs. Pan Kaun assists him in judging the souls of his district. There is a Madame Cheng Huang whose image is kept in a room behind the one in the temple set aside for her husband. ');

Chih Nu was a very diligent and hardworking weaver who lived with her father. Her father the sun god thought she was not getting out and about enough so he married her to a fine young fellow, Tung Yung who herded cattle next to the celestial river which in English is called the Milky way. As soon as they married and began to live next to the Silver Stream of Heaven then Chih Nu became very childish and through away her loom and needle. She giggled and played around all day and all night too distracting Tung Yung with demands for sex, and fun of every sort. Her father was enraged and blamed Tung Yung. He ordered him to live on the other side of the Silver Stream and only meet with his daughter on the seven night of the seventh month of each year. To effect this command the Sun brought togethr a flock of magpies over which the distraught young man could walk to the other side. The man and woman were both weeping when they parted. So Tung Yung herded his oxen, while Chih Nu weaved, and only her father was happy. The father in his joy further decreed that on the seventh night of the seventh month if it rained then the magpies would not flock together and the bridge over the Silver Stream would not form. Fortunately the first year it did not rain and the young couple had a most pleasant night. Every year threeafter, when it does not rain Chih Nu walks over the backs of the magpies and meets her lover till dawn when she must return to her side. Each year some women have a party on that night kneeling before melons,vegetables, cakes and other treats, the women strike their head 7 times upon the floor. They then will have a great year sewing and making flowers.
There is a different story in the Shen-hsien tung-chien book. In it Tun Yung is a young farmer whose father dies. To pay for the funeral expences he borrows 10,000 pieces of silver from Mr. Fei of An-lu. As Tung Yung returns from the funeral he meets a young woman who soon marries him. The dowry debt is 300 pieces of silk cloth which she weaves in one month. She is pregnant and reveals that she is Chih Nu and has been asked by the Lord of Heaven to reward Tung Yung for his family faithfulness. As she rises to the heavens she tells him she will send him two sons within a year. And within a year he receives Po-shi and Chung-shu. They take their father on their back and bring him to heaven.

The goddess Jiang Yuan stepped on the footprint of Yellow God (Huang Di) and became impregnated with Fu-xi. She felt that such a birth was unlucky so, after his birth, she placed him in a narrow lane used by cattle, but the cattle suckled the infant. Then she left him the woods. Woodcutters found him and and rescued it. Finally she put her infant on icy fields but hte birds came down and warmed the child with their feathers and protected him from predators. Fu-xi wailed so loud that his mother gave up her attempts to kill him and instead raised him. As an adult he possessed divine knowledge of how to cultivate and use millet and beans, both as a food and as a sacrifice. He gave humans other skill. He is the founder of the Zhou people, who worshiped him.
Fu-xi watched and contemplated reality and drew patterns from it. From these patterns he created things. He created music patterns by observing the divine harmony of the cosmos and gave his knowledge to humans and also to Ku (Tellquick) who told two other deities, one named You Chui (Skill Weights), to compose tunes for instruments Fu-xi had made: namely the drum, the bell and the pipes. [Note in another story it was the son of Yu, Open (Lord of Summer) discovered music.]
By looking at the markings in the sky, earth, on birds and on animals Fu-xi extracted the Eight Trigrams (See Ba Gua) and from those he created the Yi jing (I Ching). With these patterns he divined the future.
Fu-xi watched spiders make webs then taught humanity how to knot rope into nets to catch and game animals with them.
His symbol is the carpenter square, and like Nu Gua has a human upper body, and a lower body like that of a snake. By the first century B.C. he was part of the divine married couple with Nu Gua.');

His father Gu Sou (Blind Man) and his half brother Xiang (Elephant) plot to kill him. They order him to repair the family granary. He obeys but his two wives warn him that his family plan to set it on fire. They tell him to wear his bird patterned coat. When the granary is set on fire, he changes into a bird and flies away. The next attempt is when they tell him to dig a well. Shun obeys and again is warned by his two wives to wear his dragon coat. His relatives start to push the soil into the well when he has dug far enough but he turns into a dragon and escapes through the watery underworld. The final time, his loutish relatives try to get him drunk, but his two wives warn him to cover himself in a magic lotion. The relatives thinking he is drinking himself to death start to divide up the property of Shun. When Shun walks into his house, Elephant is playing on his lute. So surprised and ashamed is this brother that he denied any attempt to harm him. And so they live happily ever after. These stories are from the Mencius (after a 4th century philosopher given that name by western scholars). ');

He is said to have died in a fight. Although scholars may not have intended to make him their god but the court of the Emperor decided it was a good idea. The story was that a scholar, Chung K\'uei had passed his exams but when he presented himself to the emperor to get the rose of gold given to successful candidates, the emperor refused because Chung was so ugly. Chung thru himself into the ocean but an ao (kraken) raised him out of the water on its back and took him to heaven to dispense destiny to men of letters. He lives in the star K\'uei (Andromneda and Pisces). Eventually a figure was painted which held a tou, used to measure grain, and this was always associated with the Big Dipper so Chung came to live there after that time. The square of the dipper is called the palace of Wen Ch\'ang which was till that time the god of stationaries. But as often happens the name of the house becomes the name of the occupier of that house. The house was taken care of by a son of Chung Ya.
Wen Ch\'ang has four accolates: Hsuan T\'ung -tsu (Sombre Youth), Ti Mu (Earth mother) (these two are called Tien Lung (heaven deaf)), Kuei Hsing demon like has a writing brush in his right hand, and a tou in his left. He dispenses literary degrees, and with him stands Chu I who wears a red coat.
The legend of Chu I is that during the Tang dynasty in the years 780-784 A.D. a certain Lu Chi\'i was favoured to be married by the princess T\'ai Yin. However when given a choice of living with him, with the common people, or as a minister of the Empire, he took the ministership. He was rewarded for his advice many times by the Emperoror in his role as the Minister of Examinations. He is considered good luck for students taking the exams because of another story:
An examiner engaged in correcting essays through one into the failure pile, but it flew into the air and suspended itself in front of the examiner. At the same time an old man in a red garment appeared nodded. The examiner passed the paper. And from that legend came the invocation of the attendant whenever a student hoped to pass.

GodThing[685] = new CreateGod("A Brief History of Ancient China Mythology","adapted from Chinese Myths by Anne Birrell,2000","The mythology of Chinese culture and civilization is contained in a variety of sacred narratives which tell how the world and human society were created in their present form. They are sacred narratives because they relate acts of the deities in addition to other episodes, and they embody the most deeply felt spiritual values of a nation. A generally accepted Western definition of myth as \`sacred narrative\' reflects the meaning of the Chinese term for myth, shen-hua: shen means \`divine, deity, holy\'; hua means \`speech, tale, oral narrative\'. The concerns of myth also extend beyond the accounts of the deities, including stories about world catastrophes of flood, fire, drought, famine, of eating, exile and migration, leadership qualities, human government, the hero figure and the foundation of dynasties, peoples and clans.
The modern study of mythology combines the disciplines of anthropology, the classics, comparative religion, history, folklore, literature, art and psychology. This broader line of inquiry into the nature of myth contrasts with the study of myth in the nineteenth century, which centred more narrowly on questions of origins and the idea of myth as an explanation of primitive science and primitive society. Initially, the study of Chinese myth was heavily influenced by the origins and explanations, or \'etiological\', approach. But it is now opening up to more contemporary theories of comparative mythology and the worldwide study of mythology, so Chinese mythology is proving to be a valuable and exciting treasure trove of mythic themes, motifs and archetypes.
The subjects and concerns of Chinese mythology can be traced back to the cultural and environmental factors which shaped the earliest form of Chinese civilization in antiquity. The beginnings of this civilization are inextricably linked to its favourable environment. Three zones of ecogeographical systems exist in China.
There is the temperate North China belt with its fertile plains alluviated by the Yellow River. Its seed culture of millet and hemp, mulberry and fruit trees, and grasslands were conducive to the evolution of to the domestication of wild animals and plants, and to human habitation But this region was also prone to harsh winters, severe droughts and catastrophic floods.
The South China belt forms a second zone, with a stable, mild and humid climate, the region being alluviated by the Yangtze River. Its vegetative propagation culture benefits from an all-year growing season. It is an aquatic agricultural system that is favourable to rice, beans, lotus, bamboo, fish and turtles.
The third zone is the Deep South China belt with rich coastal fishing grounds and a tropical ecosystem.
The different but equally favourable environments of north and south contributed to the dual origin of human culture in China, and led to the emergence of numerous communities of similar economic levels but with varying cultural systems. The earliest known sites of human habitation are the Neolithic settlements at Banpo in the Wei River valley in the north (near modern Xi\'an, Shaanxi province) and Hemudu in the Yangtze River valley in the south-east (Zhejiang province). These centres of village farming are datable to around 5000 BC for Banpo and (by radiocarbon techniques) 3718 BC for Hemudu.
The environmental factors of climate, terrain, vegetation, animal life, mineral resources and topology contributed to the gradual evolution of diverse food-producing communities in the major river valleys of the Yellow (Huang) River, the Wei and Han Rivers in the north, the Huai River in the central region, and the Yangtze River in the south.
The development of Chinese civilization must also be viewed from the perspective of its ancient borders and its neighbouring countries in antiquity. China was to some extent protected by natural barriers. It was bounded to the north by the Gobi desert, to the west by the Kunlun and Himalayan mountains, to the east and south-east by the sea. This geographic cordon ensured that embryonic Chinese settlements were neither systematically eliminated nor repeatedly invaded by neighbouring peoples. On the other hand, the geographic disposition of its borders allowed for corridors and routes of communication which facilitated cultural diffusion.
Modern research is still in the process of determining which cultural inventions are indigenous to China and which were the result of cultural diffusion. It is believed that millet, the staple crop of north China, arrived from fertile oases in Central Asia, and that rice originated in India and arrived in China by a land route of transfusion through south-east Asia. The cultural innovations of a writing system and metallurgy that were successfully exploited by the rulers of the earliest Chinese state may have been transmitted from non-Chinese peoples rather than independently invented by the ancient Chinese. Other cultural influences are discernible from Siberia in the north, Melanesia in the south-east, Tibet in the south-west, and most crucially from Central Asia in the west through the Tarim Basin, whose peoples formed points of contact with the Middle East and Near East.
The ambiguous relationship between the relative insularity of the Chinese land mass and the proximity of neighbouring ethnic peoples raises the question of the origins of the Chinese people. Considering the size and importance of the region, firm evidence is remarkably poor of their physical origin. The major discovery of skeletal remains in a cave at Zhoukoutian near Beijing, which has been radiocarbon-dated to 16,922 Bc, were initially classified as Peking Man hominids but are now believed to be related to American Plains Indians rather than Asiatic or Mongoloid types. The earli-est Mongoloid skeleton was found in south China, in Guangxi province, though its date and identification are indefinite. Identification is insecure for an incomplete skull from Sichuan province dated at 5 5 3 5 BC. One authoritative view is that the origins of the Chinese derive from Mongoloids who rep-resent a mixture of racial populations of great antiquity, which are as diverse as Polynesians and American Indians. But the evidence for the ancestry of the people inhabiting the land mass of China between 10,000 and 5000 BC awaits further archaeological research.
Coming to the Neolithic period, skeletal remains from village cemeteries of north China dating from around 5000 BC show Mongoloid features with no significant ethnic diversity. For the later period of antiquity, the Late Shang era c. 1200 BC, data from sacrificial pits show a great diversity of racial origin, including Melanesian, Eskimo and Caucasoid types. But the ethnic origins of people buried in sacrificial pits, who were presumably non--Chinese prisoners of war, may be separated from the ethnic identity of the emergent civilization in China during the late second to early first millennia BC. Current scholarly findings lead to some firm conclusions. First, the Neolithic northern population shows a considerable physical homogeneity. Second, the population of north China has remained surprisingly homo-geneous since the Neolithic era (c. 5550-c. z000 BC). Third, the data point to the lack of any significant migration to or foreign invasion of the region during and since around 5000 BC.
Of the three eco-geographical systems in the land mass of China, the North China belt proved to be the most favourable for the development of China\'s first state and for the beginnings of Chinese civilization. Early on, its culture expanded to take the form of numerous ethnic communities distrib-uted along the main river valleys of the Yellow, Wei, Han, Huai and Yangtze rivers. Their traits were equally developed by the Neolithic era. One of these ethnic groups emerged by about 1700 BC as the dominant power in the Yellow River region of the Central Plains. It progressed to become the first Chinese dynasty, the Shang,with a major site of power in Anyang city (modern Henan province).
Two separate Neolithic northern cultures have been identified by their pottery styles: the Yangshao culture of painted pottery developed along the Central Plains region of the Yellow River, while the Longshan culture of unpainted black pottery was distributed over a large area to the south and east. The Shang state took its genesis from the Longshan culture of Henan province. It rose to prominence in an era of unprecedented cultural and technological innovation.
The success of the Shang was due to its superior system of military organization, control of food production, urban settlements, institutions of kinship and the priest-hood, methods of transport and communication, and its distinctively robust artistic expression. The Shang state had the power and authority to organize the construction of impressive buildings and to attract specialists such as record-keepers, soldiers, retainers and artisans to maintain the state appara-tus and to conduct large-scale ritual ceremonies, including human sacrifice in the burial rite of the ruling elite.
Two factors played a crucial role in the rise of the Shang state and the beginnings of Chinese civilization. Technological expertise in bronze metal-lurgy meant supremacy in war and material culture. The invention of a usable writing system consisting of graphs or characters by around 1200 BC led to improved methods of social organization through the bureaucratic and administrative control of commerce, calendrical regulation of agriculture, foreign affairs, alliances and religious practices.
Central to the identity and function of the state was the Shang concept of a priestly king. The king\'s functions were to make divination to the royal ancestors, to conduct rituals in honour of the ancestors, to make a sacred and symbolic progress through Shang territory, to hold audience, to bestow honours, to lead in war, and to lead the royal hunt. The king\'s was an itinerant power, as there was no fixed Shang capital. Instead there were several sites that served as ritual, technological and funerary centres. The king ruled through the intercession of the great god Di (pronounced Dee).
One of the north-west regions visited by Shang kings was the Wei River valley west of the Yellow River, which was inhabited by the Zhou people. The Zhou belonged to a different ethnic group from the Shang, but they absorbed Shang cultural influences. They were a warrior people and in time they conquered their Shang overlords and established the Zhou dynasty c. 1123 BC.
Zhou society was organized into strictly defined social classes and functions, with a dual emphasis on warfare and agricultural productivity. The Zhou kings embarked on a military strategy to unite the diverse communities of the north and south, extending their power into what is now Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, and to the regions north and south of the Yangtze River. They reorganized these settlements into a loose federation of kingdoms (guo) to form the Zhou state. Military expansion was reinforced by a hierarchy of aristocratic warriors and a food-producing peasantry who supplied conscript service and forced labour.
The Zhou introduced moral rigour to their political and social system, echoes of which are to be found in China\'s first literary work, the Zhou Classic o f Poetry of around 600 BC. The Zhou abandoned the great god Di of the Shang, and instead they worshipped the sky god Tian, with the Zhou king designated as Son of the Sky God (Tian Zi). Zhou divination methods included the use of milfoil or yarrow stalks, culminating in the Zhou text Classic of Change (Yi jing, pronounced E jing).
