Chapter 421: Lost Myths and Legends
Back at Xia Xiaoyu's house, Li Han did not tell everyone about saving a little guy.
By this time, lunch was almost ready. The meals were served one after another, and it was very hearty.
When I started eating, it tasted pretty good.
After eating, we cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together. After cleaning up, Xia Xiaoyu pulled Li Han, Su Yuqing, and Qin Xiaoyue to play.
played for an afternoon, and when it was getting late, Li Han, Su Yuqing, and Qin Xiaoyue left.
......
After sending Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue back, Li Han returned to the hotel room alone.
Calling out the space, intending to take a look at the little one's condition. The little one was in good spirits, and it wasn't the same dying appearance it had when he first found it this morning.
Moreover, the little guy doesn't seem to be afraid of the environment of the space, and is very quiet.
The little guy is in good spirits, but Li Han is worried. How is he supposed to feed this little one?
When I was a child, I fed young birds, and I always caught small insects and other things for young birds to eat. It seems that to feed this little guy, you have to do the same.
It's not convenient to go around catching small bugs in this big city, but there should be something for sale. In the flower and bird market, there should be food that is sold specifically for the birds.
Check it out tomorrow.
The little guy doesn't seem hungry now, and I don't know if it's because he has eaten a lark?
Whatever the reason, as long as you're not hungry right now.
......
The next morning.
Li Han didn't tell Su Yuqing and Qin Xiaoyue's two daughters, but took a car by himself and went straight to a flower and bird market.
There are naturally flowers and birds in the flower and bird market, and Li Han went to the bird area, which was full of shops selling goods related to pet birds.
Bird food is of course available.
In a bird food shop, Li Han saw several kinds of insects that were specially eaten by small birds. I don't know if the little one will eat one?
Thinking like this in his heart, Li Han called out the space. This space is only visible to him. So, don't worry about other people seeing it.
Then, quietly, unknowingly, several insects were ingested into the space.
There are so many bugs, and suddenly there is one missing, even if you keep staring, you can't find it.
Put all the bugs in front of the little one and let the little one choose for himself.
Then the little guy ate all the bugs in one go.
Not picky eaters.
That way things are simple. Li Han bought enough bugs at random and paid for them. Carrying the bugs out of the store, then out of a place where no one was there and no surveillance, and put the bugs into the space.
It's convenient to come and buy things alone, and you don't have to carry it in your hand all the time.
After the bugs were bought, Li Han did not leave immediately, but wandered around the market with great interest.
As I walked around, I heard a very unexpected voice, "Li Han Xiaoyou?"
Hearing this voice, Li Han was also very surprised.
Because, the owner of this is a professor of history at Modu University, Cen Xuegeng.
Unexpectedly met Cen Xuegeng here?
Li Han turned around, and sure enough, it was Cen Xuegeng. Haha smiled and said: "It turned out to be Cen Lao, it was really surprising to meet Cen Lao here." ”
Cen Xuegeng smiled slightly and said, "I met Li Han Xiaoyou here, I was really surprised." When did Li Han come to the Demon Capital?"
Li Han said: "I arrived the day before yesterday." ”
Cen Xuegeng nodded and said, "It's not much time since Li Han Xiaoyou left the Demon Capital last time. But Li Han Xiaoyou has launched one work after another in this short period of time!"
Li Han said modestly: "Cen Lao has won the award. ”
Cen Xuegeng waved his hand and said, "I haven't won the award at all." Take the recent work "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" as an example, it is indeed breathtaking. Strictly speaking, this work can be regarded as a pun. From ancient times to the present, this is definitely the first pun of the ages. Li Han's strength is stronger than I thought before. ”
Li Han said a few words of modesty.
However, I agree with this statement in my heart.
Not to mention this world, even in the previous life, "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" is also recognized as the first prose of the ages.
In the previous life, there were two prose essays that everyone was most familiar with. Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", and Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu". This can also be said to be the two most famous prose.
If you have to rank, most people think that "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" is the first, and "Luo Shen Fu" is the second.
Such a pun is the absolute first pun in the world through the ages.
Li Han also has a greater fame in the poetry world because of "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". Some people have already called Li Han the first poet in the world.
Of course, there are those who oppose this designation, but there are many more who are in favor of it.
Cen Xuegeng continued: "In addition to the Preface to King Teng's Pavilion, your legends and stories about the 12 zodiac signs also make me very concerned. Recently, we have been working specifically on the culture of myths and legends. This includes the culture of the 12 zodiac signs. Your stories are very helpful for our research. Honestly, that's what really makes me feel incredible. ”
Li Hanxin said, you feel incredible. Those stories were originally authentic zodiac legends.
On the surface, he smiled and said, "Cen Lao's words make me feel very, very honored. ”
Cen Xuegeng said: "I don't know how you came up with those stories? The important thing is that we have a lot of myths and legends that have been lost. This is very regrettable and pity. ”
Li Han nodded, deeply convinced.
Myths and legends, which may seem exaggerated and absurd to us today, are the inevitable product of ancient times.
Because, for the people of that period, all the natural phenomena of this world were too mysterious and incomprehensible.
And the people of that period were absolutely very eager to understand and conquer nature.
That's for sure.
So, how do we understand and conquer nature?
It was certainly impossible to rely on knowledge and power, and what knowledge and power were there at that time?
At that time, it could only be relied on human imagination.
Imagine the reasons for the formation of those natural phenomena, and also imagine one hero after another who can conquer natural phenomena.
As a result, a very romantic mythological story and a heroic mythological character were born in this way.
Therefore, it can even be said that myths and legends are the origin of all cultures, and they are also a very valuable spiritual wealth.
And in this world, as Cen Xuegeng said, most of the myths and legends have been lost.
This is, of course, a great loss and regret.
Under such a premise, Li Han's stories about the zodiac naturally made Cen Xuegeng very concerned.
Cen Xuegeng knows that Li Han's zodiac legends and stories should not be lost in history, they are really zodiac legends, but they really look like that.
It is quite helpful for them to study the culture of the zodiac.
Cen Xuegeng didn't know how Li Han came up with those stories, but it didn't matter.
The important thing is that for other myths and legends that have been lost, can Li Han also use his amazing talent to create corresponding stories?
It doesn't have to be like the Tale of the Twelve, as long as it has a little bit of meaning.
Cen Xuegeng is not sure about this, but he can give it a try, and it won't affect anything anyway.
Therefore, Cen Xuegeng originally planned to contact Li Han, but who knew that he met Li Han here very unexpectedly today.
Very surprised, but also very happy.
Since he met it, Cen Xuegeng said his thoughts. Then he said, "How is it? Li Han Xiaoyou, are you interested?"
Li Han smiled: "The scope of myths and legends is very large. I wonder if Cen Lao can specifically narrow down the scope?"
Cen Xuegeng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you start with how this world is formed?"
"How did this world come to be?"
"Hmm, any ideas?"
"I'll have to think about that. ”
"It's nature. ”
