In a show, Jia Ling's fitness details were the first time, Jia Ling said that she was the chosen one, and the host praised her as an absolute expert now.
The meaning of the word "Chosen One" comes from the poem "The Book of Songs, Daya, King Wen's Voice": "The Divine Destiny of the Xuanniao descends to give birth to business." The house is fertile and the people are abundant. ”
What does the so-called "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao descend to give birth to business" here?
According to relevant records, the ancestor of King Wen of Zhou was originally an ornithologist and one of the founders of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Legend has it that Qi's mother, Jian Di, mistakenly swallowed the eggs of Xuanniao (that is, swallows), so she became pregnant and gave birth to the ancestor of the Shang tribe. Because he was excluded by the royal power and nobles, he was forced to live in seclusion and live by fishing and hunting. Later, he helped his half-brother Hou Ji, the leader of the Zhou tribe, to manage agriculture and the military, so that the Shang Dynasty had a prosperous situation.
King Wen of Zhou, a descendant of Houji, assisted King Wu of Zhou in destroying the Shang Dynasty and establishing the Zhou Dynasty. King Wen of Zhou was not only an outstanding politician, thinker and scientist, but also an accomplished military strategist and poet. Therefore, people will be the legend of bird totem worship before this period, and praise King Wen of Zhou in the name of "Xuanniao" or "Emperor of Heaven".
The above means that both Qi and King Wen of Zhou are typical "chosen ones".
But the official appearance of the term "chosen one" in history was Jia Yi in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was compared to Confucius.
So, what kind of criteria is considered a chosen one? Let's take a look:
1. According to ancient sayings, the chosen ones refer to those chosen by God, also known as "Son of Heaven". The Chosen One, Heaven in ancient times, mostly refers to the Son of Heaven, that is, the emperor. The ancient Son of Heaven had two meanings: one was the succession to the throne, that is, the inheritance of orthodox rule; The second is a person who has a correct grasp and guidance on the direction and trend of the development of the country, nation or society, so the "chosen one" refers to "the person chosen by heaven" or "the monarch chosen by heaven".
2. Another way of saying "the chosen one" in ancient times was a kind of praise and honorific title for saints. In this sense, such as Confucius and Mencius are "chosen people".
3."The Chosen One" is an internet buzzword in recent years, referring to players who have had the best luck in the game and are able to win by lying down.
4.The Chosen One, in traditional culture, also refers to the person who is launched by the "Dragon Sky", a person who is full of good fortune will be inspired to support the "Dragon Sky", and be entrusted with important tasks and great things. It is emphasized that the chosen one must go through a cold test, and people will not succeed if they do not suffer hardships, and they will overcome difficulties and difficulties. The chosen one must experience what ordinary people can't experience, take the road that ordinary people dare not take, endure what ordinary people can't endure, and do things that ordinary people can't do. The chosen one, no matter what kind of situation, can turn the situation at will, turn danger into safety, and survive in a desperate situation.
In some ancient writings, there are also descriptions of the Chosen One:
Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote: "King Wen Junde is complete, and he is worthy of God, so God chooses him to be the Son of Heaven." ”
There is "Zuo Chuan: The Twenty-fourth Year of the Duke of Xu": "The king has cut down the Jin division, and passed through the land of Zhai, when it is autumn, he is given by others." The Mandate of Heaven Xuanniao descended to Shen, so it is called 'Destiny Xuanniao'. ”
