Samrau (mythological character)

**Samrau** — a mythological bird in Bashkir folklore. Similar the image of the _Simurgh_ in Iranian mythology.
In the Bashkir epic poetry "Ural Batyr" and "Akbuzat" Samrau is imaged as a bird-king.The cosmic, above-ground and underground worlds are subject to him, and he is the head God in the Bashkir pantheon. Sun and Moon are his wives. _Humai and Aikhilu_ are his daughters.

## Samrau in the epic poetry "Ural Batyr"

Ural Batyr wins the king of snakes and release   the daughter of a bird-king Samrau from captivity. Samrau gives to Ural Batyr a  horse with wings Akbuzat and a diamond sword for saving the country and daughters. With the help of a horse and sword,  Ural Batyr wins the daevas. According to the epos, the Ural Mountains are the bodies of the daevas.

## Researchers of the epos Ural-Batyr about Samrau

The historian Z. G. Aminev believes that under the name of Samrau in Bashkir mythology, ancient Bashkirs meant the sky.

According to V. S. Mavletov, the country of Samrau is an ideal society to which every nation wants.
> In the country of Samrau, everyone is equal, no one oppresses anyone, does not touch  another, everyone works for the common good, no one wants to get rich, they live according to the laws of brothers. If someone breaks the rules, people having agreed among themselves, exile out of the country. Samrau rules his kingdom as if there  no king in the country.
The highest measure of the punishment of the criminal in the mythical kingdom of Samrau was exile from the country.

U. Sh. Atangulov explains the influence of the epic on the Bashkir people.
> Many historians argue about whether the Bashkirs had a state. The Bashkirs prefer personal freedom and fought to the death for it. They were armed forces, organized, in case of danger they could quickly unite and fight.

## Samrau and modernity

The image and name of the  Samrau are popular in modern Bashkortostan. Companies, cultural instituts, a football team, a union of artists are named after Samrau.

Jacob Bernoulli

**Jacob Bernoulli** (also known as **James**' or **Jacques**) (December 27, 1654 – August 16, 1705) was a Swiss mathematician. He mainly contributed to Analytic geometry, Probability theory, Variable calculus. Bernoulli's inequality which is often taught in high schools was named to honor him. Bernoulli, together with Newton and Leibniz, was considered the first ones who developed the Differential calculus and Integral but he researched deeper insights. His book on Probability Theory had not been published until 1713, 8 years after Bernoulli's death. He had a younger brother 12 years younger who was also a famous mathematician Johann Bernoulli. The Bernoulli family later had many talented mathematicians.

Jacob's parents compelled him to study philosophy and theology, which he greatly resented. He graduated from the University of Basel with a master's degree in philosophy in 1671 and a licentiate in theology in 1676.

Irezumi

***Irezumi*** is the Japanese word for tattoo. In English, it is used to talk about many types of Japanese tattoos. It is also used to talk about ways of tattooing people that came from Japanese people, such as the Ainu and Ryukyuan people.

_Irezumi_ is not done with any tattoo machines. It is done with metal needles that are put on wooden sticks with silk. It uses a special type of ink called _Nara_ ink. Ainu and Ryukyuan tattoos use ink from indigo plants. Making _irezumi_ in this way takes a long time. It is also painful to get _irezumi_. Tattoos are made by a small number of people named _horishi_. _Horishi_ usually have apprentices that work with them.

During the Edo period, criminals were given tattoos. Where these tattoos were put was based on what crime someone did. For example, murderers were tattooed on the head. This made tattoos connected to crime in Japan. In the 19th century, the Japanese government made tattoos illegal.
Son of Heaven

The Son of Heaven was a title given to the Chinese ruler who was considered sacred and had power over everything under the sky. This title started with the Zhou dynasty and was based on the idea that the ruler had a mandate from heaven. Later, the title was used by other monarchs in the same region to support their own rule. The Son of Heaven was seen as the most important ruler who had power over everything. In some places, like China and Japan, the ruler was thought of as a god or a chosen one.

Cornufer paepkei

***Cornufer paepkei*** is a frog.  It lives in a rainforest.  Scientitsts have seen it in exactly one place: the Fakfak Mountains in Indonesia, between 400 and 860 meters above sea level.

The adult frog is 21.6 to 31.4 mm long from nose to rear end.  Its voice sounds like a "low, short creak." There is only a little webbed skin on its feet.  The frog is yellow-brown in color with dark brown or black marks.  There are two yellow-white lines from its nose to its back legs.  The backs of the legs are red-brown in color.  Other parts of the legs are almost purple.  The belly is almost white.
Feng Shan

**Feng Shan**, was a special ceremony performed by the emperors of China to honor heaven and earth. They would go to Mount Tai and Mount Liangfu to perform the sacrifices. The Feng sacrifice was done at the top of the mountain to honor heaven, while the Shan sacrifice was done at the foot of the mountain to honor earth.

Completing the Feng Shan ceremony allowed the emperor to be seen as having the support of heaven. The word "feng" means "to seal", and "shan" means "to clear away".

This ceremony is very important in religious Confucianism. According to Records of the Grand Historian, the emperor would build an altar at the top of the mountain and proclaim their legitimacy to the god of heaven during the Feng sacrifice. During the Shan sacrifice, they would clear land at the foot of the mountain to show respect to the god of earth.

This ceremony was used as a way for emperors to think about the relationship between heaven and earth. It was usually only performed during times of prosperity, with a good emperor and good omens. Some emperors refused to perform the ceremony, feeling they were unworthy of it.

Although only the emperor was historically allowed to perform the ceremony, there were times when common people did it without permission. The general Huo Qubing even did it alone.

The Feng Shan ceremony played an important role in politics, much like the Secular Games of the Roman Empire. Both were rare and had religious significance, and were important for changing ideas about power.

## History

Mount Tai has been a place of worship for many years, and it began in prehistoric times.

According to legends, the Yellow Emperor performed the ceremony before ascending to heaven as an immortal.

Sacrifices at Mount Tai continued through the Zhou dynasty. During the Warring States Period, both Qi and Lu leaders would carry out sacrifices at the mountain. In 219 BC, Qin Shihuang carried out what would be considered the first Feng and Shan sacrifices in celebration of uniting China.

The last recorded traditional Feng Shan was performed in 1790 by the Qianlong Emperor. There are only six verified accounts of performances throughout Chinese history.

Emperors like Wu of Han, Gaozong of Tang, and Zetian all carried out sacrifices. In modern times, a festival is held every year to celebrate the occasion with a modern light show.
