"A momentary victory does not mean an eternal victory, and a momentary defeat does not mean that there is no chance to turn the tables. ”

Zhao Ning smiled and said: "The battle between the dragon and the phoenix, that's it. At the beginning, it was the Dragon Totem Alliance that won the world and ruled the Yellow River Basin for thousands of years, until Dayu ruled the water and the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, or respected the dragon. ”

"However, in the Shang Dynasty, it was the world of the phoenix totem. ”

"Huh?" Wang Feng was stunned.

"Don't understand?"

Zhao Ning smiled and taught earnestly: "I don't know if you have heard of a sentence, the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao descends to give birth to business, this is the original text in the poem and business, and it is also a famous proverb." ”

"The bird, that is, the swallow, also belongs to the bird totem. ”

Zhao Ning explained: "So the truth that the Shang Dynasty replaced the Xia Dynasty is actually the victory of the Phoenix Totem over the Dragon Totem. Then the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Fengming Qishan, in the final analysis, is still the internal dispute of the bird totem. ”

"Zhou Chaoli divided eight hundred princes. ”

Zhao Ning was interested and said more carefully: "Among them, Xiong Yi, the leader of the Chu people, was sealed in Danyang because of his meritorious service to the merchants, obtained the position of viscount, and established the state of Chu. ”

"So the totem of Chu is also a phoenix bird. ”

Between speaking, Zhao Ning groaned: "From this point of view, it is no wonder that in the murals, there is a depiction of the battle between dragons and phoenixes, which means that the Chu people have not forgotten their roots." ”

"And then?"

Wang Feng thought for a while, and inquired again: "When did the battle between the dragon and the phoenix end?"

"This is due to Qin Shi Huang. ”

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "The ancestors of the Qin people worshipped the dragon, so the first emperor had the dispute over the ancestral dragon. Coincidentally, back then, Qin swallowed the six countries and unified the world, and the biggest obstacle was the Chu State. ”

"The battle between the dragon and the phoenix, in the last battle, the dragon turned the tables again and re-established the world. ”

Zhao Ning laughed and said: "But history is so wonderful, after Qin unified the world, there were three Chu households in Chu State, and the prophecy of the death of Qin Bilin was circulated, and it also realized the ......"

"Xiang Yu, a nobleman of the Chu State, overthrew the Tai Dynasty, and the phoenix totem was re-established. ”

Zhao Ning regretted: "It's a pity that Chu and Han competed, but it was Liu Bang who had the last laugh." Liu Bang entered the customs and took the land of Lao Qin as his base, even though he was actually a Chu person, but in order to win the hearts of the people, he never mentioned his origin, but made three chapters of the law, which completely won the trust of the people, and forced Xiang Yu Wujiang to kill himself. ”

"Han Li, Liu Bang, who was born as a civilian, doesn't pay much attention to totems and bloodlines. ”

Zhao Ning said slowly: "Among the heroes, there are not a few nobles, they are pragmatists, for dragons and phoenixes, as long as it is beneficial to themselves, they will use all of them." ”

In this case, the dragon totem and the phoenix totem also slowly fused, and finally gave birth to a pattern that we are familiar with, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious. Since the beginning, no one has mentioned the battle between the dragon and the phoenix. ”

Zhao Ning chuckled: "Even later, no one knows what the connotation of the dragon and phoenix totem is, but according to their own understanding, they think that the dragon is male and the phoenix is female, representing the harmony of the qin and the harmony, yin and yang." ”

"You must know that in ancient times, it was a patriarchal society, and once people decided that Feng was a woman, she would be at a disadvantage. ”

Zhao Ning shook his head and said: "So over time, men who have controlled the right to speak are used to calling themselves the descendants of the dragon." As for the phoenix, it can only become a symbol of auspicious meaning, and the intention is not so lofty, and it cannot rise to the level of national character. ”

"I see. ”

In Wang Feng's heart, there were waves, and it took a while to calm down. Then he smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you Elder Zhao for your guidance." ”

"Haha, just say a few words, there's nothing to thank. ”

Zhao Ning waved his hand and said casually: "Nowadays, young people are rarely interested in totem culture, if you really like it, I can recommend a few related books to you......"

"Yes, yes. ”

Wang Feng nodded hurriedly, and after writing down the title of the book, he was satisfied, and said with interest: "Old Zhao, you are busy, I won't bother, go back first." ”

“…… Yes. ”

Zhao Ning has no opinion, after all, Wang Feng is a layman and has already completed his work, and the rest of the things need to be done by professionals like them. It doesn't make sense for the other party to stay, so it's better to leave.

"Goodbye. ”

Wang Feng waved his hand and left calmly.

The huge space was filled with at least a hundred people. Someone is maintaining order, someone is counting cultural relics. But from beginning to end, no one knew that in this mysterious underground palace, there was once a high platform.

The huge high platform disappeared in the dungeon.

Some people were surprised at most that the dust on the ground was so thick that it almost reached the surface of their feet.

No one knows what happened in the dungeon.

So Wang Feng was calm and walked lightly, without anyone stopping him.

At the entrance, several policemen acted as guards, watching Wang Feng's figure disappear into the distance.

A young policeman, he wanted to speak and stopped.

Next to him, the middle-aged policeman squinted and said lightly, "What do you want to say?"

The young policeman couldn't help but say, "Master, there are obviously a lot of suspicious points in him, why hasn't anyone investigated him?"

"What are you looking for?" the middle-aged policeman asked rhetorically.

For example......" The young policeman was silent for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "According to the oral accounts of some villagers, I can be sure that he and his companions have spent more than half a month investigating all aspects of Gushan's materials, including geography, humanities, hydrological conditions, etc., and they have obviously made full preparations......

"And then?" asked the middle-aged policeman, "what does that mean?"

"Explain their ......" The young policeman lowered his voice: "They found this underground palace, it may not be an accident, nor an accident, but ...... Be thoughtful. ”

"I know what you mean. The middle-aged policeman turned his head and said, "You mean to say that the two of them actually want to rob the tomb, right?" ”

The young policeman smiled embarrassedly: "Master, I knew that I couldn't hide it from you, that's what I thought." ”

“…… What do you think?"

The middle-aged policeman smiled, but his eyes were very serious: "You think they are tomb robbers, so did they take anything in the dungeon?"

"The most important thing is that who else knows that there is an underground palace in the mountains?"

The middle-aged policeman's voice was a little more stern: "All in all, he is now a meritorious person who discovered the endangered underground palace and reported it to the country." If not surprisingly, they will be commended. ”

"Boy, you're still young......"

The middle-aged policeman's expression softened, patted the young policeman, and said meaningfully: "You know, the underground palace has not been stolen, and a large number of precious cultural relics have been unearthed, for many people, it is an achievement, a political achievement, a merit, and a ...... interests."

"The county, the city, and even the province, up and down, are all happy. ”

The middle-aged policeman warned: "In a good situation, some insignificant details are not important. It's never the process that people value, it's the result, you know?"

“…… Got it!"
