“the nine-headed bird in the sky, the lake-kids” is a popular adage, both in tone and implicit appreciation. What is a nine-headed bird? What does it have to do with the hubei
The first documentation of the nine-headed birds is the mountain sea book, which calls them the nine phoenixs, the godbirds living in the north pole, the nine man-faces, and the sun and moon。
According to scholars, the nine-headed prototype. At the time, the nine birds were the symbol of cheung-seok, representing the totem culture of chu. And the people of the former fathers saw the bird as their forebears, and qur'an used to speak of it in the qur'an。
When we got to handy, the image of the nine birds began to melt. It is written in the "paradise of the peace" and says that its blood drops in whose house it will suffer。
This shift is linked to the cultural bias of the middle east towards the south: the chudish voodoo beliefs, in the face of the confucian orthodox, have become a vector of demonization by the “discreetness”。
In that case, why would the nine birds be tied to the hubei people? In fact, what really equates the nine-headed bird with the hunan is the one who has been set up in ming dynasty。
According to the hubei log, when zhang was pursuing a new deal, he re-patroned his history with nine northern nationals, who were patrolling the area, fighting corruption on the surface of the iron, and were dubbed by his political opponents as “the nine-headed bird in the sky and the top of the lake”。
It is a demeaning example of a political enemy who, because of the success of the reforms, has been interpreted by civil society as a symbol of the “smart and daring behaviour of the lake's northerners”. Since then, the nine-headed bird has come from mythology into reality and has become a proxy for the hubei people。
From a geographical point of view, the area of hubei lies in the jianghan plain, where the yangtze and han water meet, and since ancient times is the hub of surface and surface traffic, the hanguchi of the mingqing period is one of the “undergrounds”。
The environment of the commercial ja’a cloud has given rise to a finely calculated and resilient character of the lake. The nine-headed bird, the “nine heads”, coincided with the impressions of the hubei people, who were “flexible in their minds and all over their faces”。
But the adage has been controversial. It is said that it praises the altruism and resilience of the hubei people, who are as resilient as the nine-headed bird, while the demeanor uses the legend of “the nine-headed bird to eat the baby”, to the effect that the hubei people are “smart over their heads”。
In practice, however, geographical characteristics are not superior, just as the image of the “nine-headed bird” has evolved in history, a saying that has now become more of a tarnished cultural symbol for the hun。
Today, in hubei, the image of the nine-headed bird is everywhere: it can be seen in the sculpture of the nine-fifeng of lake wuhandong, in the zhouzhou museum's phoenix-coloured copper, and even in the hot dry face wrapping on the streets。
This cultural identity has long gone beyond the original meaning of the saying — “the nine-headed bird” is no longer a simple compliment or a denigration, but rather a true manifestation of the spirit of “aspiring for excellence before others”。
Like the pioneers of chu dynasty, who bred the “blue of the road” during the fighting, today's hunis are still carrying the frenzy of a nine-headed bird: from the initial shooting of the xinhe revolution to the persistence of the wuhan spirit。
Every step of the development of this land in hubei always explains what is the true kernel of the nine birds — not sly, but smart, capable and resilient, able to respond to challenges like the nine birds
