Witchcraft is a spell used in early human religious activities. It attempts to influence or control people and things with the help of supernatural mysterious power, which reflects the spiritual realm of prehistoric ancestors who are keen to pursue “superpower” and “abnormality”. It is also one of the important reasons why it is impossible to use modern thinking and technical methods to examine the architecture of the megalithic period. It can be said that the construction of the “megalithic age” has always been a demonstration of people’s superpowers. In
the Guci Mountain area, 15 kilometers southwest of Xinzheng City, Henan Province, a large number of Neolithic remains have been found.
There are boulders scattered all over the mountain, and the placement of these boulders in various styles is incredible. Examining the mountains covered with these boulders shows that it is by no means the result of natural forces. For example, two boulders placed at one location and the small stones interspersed between them are obviously not the products of the same geological age. These completely different combinations can be determined to be the result of artificial placement, and can be called megalithic cultural sites, because from these sites, typical characteristics of megalithic culture can be distinguished: for example, many megaliths are gathered together and placed. It is located on a cliff and is difficult to construct. The density and type of distribution are also rare. In addition, there are more than 3,600 rock paintings…
The basis for the dating of the megalithic cultural phenomenon discovered in Guci Mountain is from ancient books. In the book “Zhuangzi Xu Wugui” written in the Warring States period: “The Yellow Emperor saw Da Kui in the mountain of Kuci.” During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Li Daoyuan also clearly pointed out in the “Notes on the Classic of Water”: “The Yellow Emperor climbed the mountain of Kuci, … It is also a mountain.” The Yellow Emperor’s time was in the late Yangshao culture, about 5,000 years ago. The rock paintings discovered one after another from the actual inspection of Guci Mountain obviously have the characteristics of primitive culture. It should be concluded that there is an inherent connection between the rock paintings and the placement of the megaliths, and the approximate time of the formation of the megaliths should also be in this period.
What is confusing is that all the boulders placed on Guci Mountain are unprocessed natural stones. The terrain in the mountain is steep and steep. The prehistoric people had no large lifting tools to place these boulders. The difficult conditions are: conceivable. It is speculated that the Guci Mountain area was the traditional witchcraft sacrifice place of the prehistoric ancestors. People came here to show the superpowers of human beings to the gods and pray for the protection of the heavens; The inner reason for acquiring the superpower bestowed by God is the cohesion of spiritual power and the centripetal force of the crowd.
From “Zhuangzi Xu Wugui”, it can be known that the Yellow Emperor came to Guci Mountain in order to seek the truth of governing the country, and it is not known that “Da Kui” is the high priest of this sacred mountain.
On the whole, the prehistoric ancestors had the ability to exaggerate the ability of people to create eternal landscapes in nature because of their own survival needs. and spiritual will.
