"What other myths and stories, you tell me everything, I want to hear stories today!" Zhao Ming said very plainly

"Okay, if you're having fun, then I'll tell you a mythical story about the origin of the fire. In ancient times, the Suiren clan became the emperor in Shangqiu. At that time, people lived by hunting, eating whatever they caught, eating raw with flesh and blood, and people lived like animals. The Suiren clan was their leader and often led people to hunt in the mountains and forests.

One day, a fire broke out in the forest. After the fire was extinguished, many of the carcasses of the burned beasts were left in the woods. The Suiren picked up a pheasant and tasted it, ah, it smells so good!

Much better than raw meat. So, he led everyone to pick up these cooked birds and beasts and eat them. When the cooked meat was finished, they had to go hunting again, eat raw meat again, and drink raw blood. At this time, people think that raw meat is really not delicious. So, they hoped that there would be another fire in the mountains and forests, and that they would bring them fragrant cooked meat.

Somehow, just as they were thinking this, a big bird suddenly flew from the sky. The big bird flew to the front of the Suiren clan and stopped, looked at him and said, "Don't you want fire? When the Suiren clan heard this, they were pleased, so they rode on the back of the big bird and flew towards the Sun Palace.

When she arrived at the Sun Palace, the Sun Princess said to the Suiren clan: "You are the emperor of the world, there are many treasures in the Sun Palace, you can pick whatever you want, I will give you whatever you want." “

The flint said, "I just want fire." “

The Sun Princess said, "Well, I have a gem here that will make fire, so I'll give it to you."

The Fusiliers took the jewel, thanked the Sun Princess happily, and flew back to the world on a big bird.

After returning to the human world, the Suiren clan held this fire-making gem in his hand every day, wanting to wait for him to make a fire. But after a few days, he couldn't see the jewel make a fire, and the Suiren clan was so anxious that he thought, "How could the sun princess lie to me? Why can't this gem make a fire? As he spoke, he grabbed the gem and threw it hard at a large rock. I only heard the sound of "bang", and sparks flew everywhere.

The Suiren clan suddenly understood that only by hitting a stone with a stone could a fire be made. He tried again, and sure enough, he got the fire by hitting the stone. Since then, people have learned to strike stones to make fire, and they no longer eat raw meat and drink raw blood. Fire has brought a lot of benefits and convenience to people's lives, and people are very happy. ”

"According to legend, the gossip was painted by Fuxi. In the era of human ignorance, life was difficult and difficult, and at this time, the clans and tribes in the upper reaches of Weishui gave birth to an epoch-making great figure - Fuxi. He led the tribe to work hard, "breaking bamboo, continuing bamboo, flying soil, and chasing meat", but he still had no food to eat, and he was hungry and cold.

He was at a loss and at a loss. In his spare time, he often sits on the top of the hexagram platform and ponders the mysteries of the universe. Looking up at the changes of the sun, moon and stars, looking down on the laws of the mountains and rivers, constantly reflecting on himself, chasing the year and the moon, rain or shine, perhaps his sincerity moved the world.

One day, a wonderful illusion appeared in front of his eyes. After an explosion, the Longma Mountain on the other side of the Wei River suddenly opened, but saw the Longma flapping its wings and flying out, leisurely down the river, and fell straight on the distraction stone in the center of the river. At this time, the distraction stone also transforms into a three-dimensional Tai Chi, with yin and yang entwined and radiant. This scene suddenly shook Fu Xi's mind, and the Tai Chi Divine Diagram was deeply reflected in his consciousness, and his eyes were suddenly like torches, completely penetrating the code of the unity of heaven and man.

It turns out that heaven and earth are so simple and clear - only yin and yang. In order for people to enjoy the blessings of nature for generations, he turned the sacred thought into the simplest symbols, using "one" to represent yang and "--" to represent yin, which were arranged in all directions to form the eight trigrams. Fu Xi's painting opened the sky, opened the floodgates of people's rational thinking, and sent the people who were struggling in distress to the other side of happiness, thus winning people's eternal memory and respect. ”

"The earliest written account of Nuwa appeared in Chu Ci Tianwen and Liezi Tangwen and the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and she may have existed in the history of written records 350 BC or earlier, and her image is a day of seventy. In the mythology of the Han Dynasty, from the initial Nuwa to the gods, then to Nuwa's transformation into all things to Nuwa's creation of human beings and mending the sky, this series of feats are all carried out in a state of opposition between heaven and earth.

Since the birth of Nuwa, she first incarnated as a god, and the appearance of the god led to the birth of heaven, and then Nuwa incarnated all things, followed by the appearance of all things, and the earth also appeared, and at this time the heaven and earth were peaceful. In the creation myth of Nuwa before her untimely death, Nuwa was prepared to be the ancient Greek goddess of creation, Eurynomus: the mother of all things, the mother of the gods, and the mother of mankind.

Just as people are concerned about the origin of the universe, there is also a great deal of interest in the origin of humanity itself. As for the myth of the origin of mankind, the story of Nuwa is the first to be recommended. Nuwa mends the sky, showing her important position as the god of the universe.

"Huainanzi Lan Yin Xun" contains: "In ancient times, the four optimus pillars fell, the earth of Kyushu was cracked, the sky could not cover the earth, the earth could not carry all things, the fire spread without extinguishing, the flood did not stop, the fierce beasts ate the good people, and the fierce birds grabbed the old people and children with their claws. In this case, Nuwa smelted the five-colored stone to repair the sky, cut off the feet of the giant turtle in the sea to make a heavenly pillar to support the four directions, killed the black dragon to save Jizhou, and blocked the flood with reed ashes. Through hard work and hard work, Nuwa reorganized the universe and created the necessary natural conditions for human survival.

Nuwa is not only a pioneer, she is also the creator of mankind. Volume 78 of the "Taiping Yulan" quotes "Customs and Customs": "Folklore, at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, there were no human beings on the earth, and it was Nuwa who kneaded the loess into a ball to create people. She was busy and tired, and she couldn't keep up with the supply despite all her might. So she took the rope and threw it into the mud, and when she lifted the rope and threw it, the mud fell to the ground, and she became a person.

Later generations said that the rich and noble people were made by Nuwa herself, while the poor people were just made by Nuwa dipping the mud with a rope and sprinkling the mud on the ground. This myth is rich in meaning, not only fictionalizing the creation of human beings, but also trying to explain why human beings have differences in social status. The myth about Nuwa is mainly born in the matriarchal clan society, and Nuwa's immortal exploits in mending the heavens and creating human beings not only reflect people's affirmation of women's role in perpetuating race, but also recognize women's social status. The above myth has created a woman with strange powers and hard work, and everything she does is full of love for mankind.

In addition to the common ancestors of mankind, each tribe has its own ancestral mythology. The ancestor of the Shang nation was born by Jian Di swallowing swallow eggs, and the birth and experience of Houji, the ancestor of the Zhou nation, is even more legendary. The myth of Houji is recorded in the "Book of Songs, Daya, Shengmin": Jiang Yan was conceived because she stepped on the thumb print of the Emperor of Heaven, and gave birth to Ji smoothly, Jiang Yan felt ominous, so she abandoned him in narrow alleys, woods, cold ice, etc., but Ji was miraculously rescued by cattle and sheep, woodcutters, and birds, survived, and quickly showed the talent of planting crops, and finally became the ancestor of the Zhou people. These myths are found in almost every tribe, and many are similar in plot or structure. They reflect the remembrance of their ancestors by clan members and show national pride. ”

"Shennong's clan was originally one of the five clans, born in a stone cave in Lieshan, and legend has it that the body is transparent, and there are two horns on the head, that is, the bull-headed human body. His special appearance and industriousness and bravery, when he grew up, he was promoted by people as a tribal leader, because his tribe lived in the hot south, called the Yan tribe, and everyone called him Emperor Yan. Once he saw birds planting seeds, which led to the invention of grain agriculture, and because of these outstanding contributions, everyone called him Shennong.

He saw that people were sick, and went to the garden of the Emperor of Heaven to get Yao grass from the garden of the Emperor of Heaven in the field of Duguang, and Shennong took this whip from the field of Duguang and walked all the way back to Lieshan. Shennong was poisoned many times by tasting herbs, all thanks to tea detoxification. Because he vowed to taste all the grass, he finally died because he tasted the grass of broken intestines. In order to commemorate his kindness and merits, people worship him as the god of the medicine king, and build the medicine king temple to worship at four o'clock. In China's Sichuan, Hubei and Shaanxi borders, it is said that it is the place where Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, which is called Shennongjia Mountain. ”

"Mythology has entered an age of heroes. People put all kinds of great inventions accumulated in the process of their own development, as well as the overcoming of various natural and social obstacles, on each mythical heroic spirit, and regarded them as symbols of the ideals of their tribe. The gods of nature were thus replaced by the gods of man himself. It marks the prominence of human subjectivity, which is the result of social progress, and a large number of myths about cultural heroes have appeared in history, the protagonists of these myths are usually human images, they all have miraculous experiences or skills, and their achievements lie in the creation and conquest, such as Suiren, Youchao, Shennong, Cangjie, Houji and so on.

Dayi is the inventor of the bow and arrow in mythology and legend, and he is also a marksman. The invention of the bow and arrow was a major event in the life of the first people, so people gave the supreme courage and honor to the inventor of the bow and arrow. And Dayi relied on his own invention of bows and arrows and magic skills to eliminate harm for the people and benefit mankind. The evil spirits who died under Yi's bow and arrows include chisel teeth, nine infants, gale, ramps, snake repairs, and sealing pigs.

Countless myths are undoubtedly created with heroic backgrounds. It's like teaching future generations to be heroes and lead mankind to glorious moments! This is a very important thing for future generations!"
