In classical Chinese literature, there are many poignant and beautiful classic love stories, such as "Liang Zhu", "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Han Ping and His Wife".

Although these love stories are poignant, in the end, the authors will still send their own good wishes:

Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo in "Liang Zhu" finally turned into butterflies, freely lingering between heaven and earth;

Xu Xian and the White Lady in "The Legend of the White Snake" finally gave birth to an heir, and this heir was also the champion in high school;

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" can finally meet once a year at Queqiao;

In "Han Ping and His Wife", Han Ping and He finally turned into acacia trees in each other's flesh and hugged each other, while the souls of the two people turned into mandarin ducks, day and night.

But there is still such a husband and wife in classical Chinese literature, but later generations did not give them good wishes.

The couple are: Hou Yi and Chang'e.

The love story of Hou Yi and Chang'e has been passed down for thousands of years, and the well-known ones are "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" and "Chang'e Running to the Moon", but why is this couple not treated by future generations?

Through the compilation of the stories of Hou Yi and Chang'e in the past dynasties, the vast majority of literati have set their sights on Chang'e, such as Su Dongpo wrote about Chang'e, Wu Chengen wrote about Chang'e, Pu Songling wrote about Chang'e, and Zhou Shuren also wrote about Chang'e...... But few people write about Hou Yi, of course, referring to what happened after the husband and wife separated.

The reason is that the legend of Hou Yi and Chang'e is very old, and the records are mixed, and it is difficult to sort out a logical and coherent story line, for example: Hou Yi has two theories, one is Dayi, the other is Hou Yi, and the official history and wild history all say that Hou Yi is cruel and lewd; [By the way: Di Jun, as a heavyweight of ancient mythology, almost disappeared into the legends of later generations, and all his exploits seem to have been / dismembered / dismembered / distributed to the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yu and Fuxi Emperor, perhaps to facilitate the praise of orthodox rulers such as the Yellow Emperor and others.] 】

When it is impossible to justify itself, people will selectively abandon and forget.

The legend of Hou Yi and Chang'e is exactly like this!

Chang'e is always beautiful, who wants her to become a toad?

Therefore, the "toad said" was abandoned, but by the way, another loophole was revealed, that is: the white rabbit pounded the medicine. According to the usual logic, a white rabbit fairy, what are you doing in the Guanghan Palace when you have nothing to do? Who are you making medicine for?—— index from Liang Liu Zhao of the Southern Dynasty "Book of the Later Han Dynasty • Astronomical Chronicles".

There is also Hou Yi's Tong Gong Su Zhen, his Su Ji can shoot down the Nine Suns, how powerful it is, but why did He Bo not die when he shot in the eye. According to normal logic: Hebo is definitely not as powerful as Nine Days, and Hebo will die if he does not die for nine days, isn't it mysterious to index Qu Yuan's "Tianwen" ?——.

If Hou Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the medicine of immortality, why didn't she ask for two pills of immortality, but only one pill of immortality? If she asked for two pills of immortality, wouldn't both husband and wife become immortals? Then there would be no tragedy that followed. ——Index from Liu An's "Huainanzi • Reading the Spiritual Training".

Moreover, Hou Yi is almost close to a god, tall and mighty, and his divine power is invincible, why can Feng Meng be able to kill him with a single piece of peach wood? If he doesn't die with one blow, can't he resist? When Hou Yi deals with Feng Meng, he should be a tiger fighting a rabbit. Of course, this is a reason that the ancient literati found for compiling "ghosts are afraid of peach", but this reason lacks internal logic, just because Hou Yi died under the peach, so the ghost is afraid of peach?—— index from "Mencius: Lilou Chapters and Sentences".

After Hou Yi's death again, he was named the "Zongbu God" and ruled over all ghosts.

This "Zongbu God" is definitely the existence of a great god, and it is sacrificed by incense, and it is definitely higher than the official title of the god Tu Yulei (the two ghost emperors of Dongfang Dushuo Mountain who was personally sealed by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor), and he can only be the door god of the gatekeeper.

But later generations actually said that "Zongbu God" was a minor god, and even compared with Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui can't even compare with Shen Tu Yu Lei, how can he be compared with Hou Yi? According to the merits made by the two, there is no comparison at all, one has great merit for the people in the world, and the other only scares away ghosts for a certain emperor, and according to the era, there is no comparison. ——Index from Liu An's "Huainanzi • Pan Commentary".

Finally, before Chang'e ran to the moon, there was a Huang Xiao word that said: "Pian Pian returns to her sister, and she will go west alone, and you will be frightened when the sky is dark, and you will be lucky." ”

According to this word, could it be that Chang'e went to the Moon Palace, became a toad, and lived a lonely life is the so-called "Hou and Daji"?—— index from Liang Liu Zhao of the Southern Dynasty "Later Han Shu • Astronomical Chronicles"

This is what makes everyone in the world unwilling to be so "good luck"!

"Hou and Daji" should be the last reunion of Chang'e and Hou Yi, and enjoy all the dignity, shouldn't it be so?

In addition to the above doubts, there are many doubts about the legend of Hou Yi and Chang'e, but some TV series or movie novels that have been watched cannot be explained perfectly, so in "The Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", the monster tries to reinterpret the legend through fantasy means and reasonable logic, giving the hard-working couple who have been separated for thousands of years a reunion ending, and achieving the real "good luck after the end".

It explains why Hou Yi died under the peach tree?

Why did Hou Yi only shoot the river god's one eye?

Why did the Queen Mother of the West only give Hou Yi an immortal pill?

How did Hou Yi's Tong Gong Su Yu come about?

Explain here: How did Hou Yi's Tong Gong Su Yu come about.

"Huainanzi Benjingxun" says that it was given by Emperor Jun.

Strange people think it's counterintuitive: Ten Days is the son of Emperor Jun, where is there Lao Tzu who asked someone to shoot his son with an arrow, and one shot is a group of annihilation?!

Even in ancient society, there was no human opinion, this primitive love and calf affection should also be there, at least Dijun likes Xihe, the mother of the ten-day, otherwise he can't give birth to ten sons (hehe), and he didn't consider Xihe's feelings when he shot for ten days?

The mistake has already been made, and it will not help if it is destroyed, so why not give the 10 days a chance?

Not to mention that we modern people are incomprehensible, but I am afraid that ancient people can hardly understand why Emperor Jun gave Tong Gong Suyu to Hou Yi to shoot his ten sons.

Recently, I occasionally saw Mr. Zhong Yulong's "Romance of Ancient Mythology" about Hou Yi and Chang'e, which only said that Hou Yi's old general archery skills were exquisite, and then he shot the sun down with a few arrows, and Feng Meng's ending was also hastily ended, only giving himself a self-justification, whether the reader believes it or not. The strange monster whispered: how can an ordinary arrow shoot down the sun, and before it gets close to the sun, it turns into smoke or even smoke. It is more reliable to say that the great god or the emperor of heaven (such as Emperor Jun) gave it.

Since the abandonment of Tonggong Suyun was given by Emperor Jun, and he didn't want to be perfunctory like Mr. Zhong Yulong, what kind of Tonggong Suyu had enough strength to shoot for ten days?

The strange monster wrote "presided over by Emperor Yao, all the witches sacrificed and refined, and 1,400 virgin witches dedicated, condensed the Tong bow with blood, and vaporized the Su to create the Tong Gong Su Jin".

At the same time, it shows that the ten days are out together, the common people are suffering, and the day of the witch sacrifice is not successful, there is only the sun of refining arrows, and the 1,400 virgin witches are willing to dedicate themselves, and if they don't die, they will die (sunburn), and they will die (sunburn), it is better to live and die for the world!

Moreover, the virgin witch is yin, and the sun is yang, which can be overcome, that is, the pure yin blood and qi refine the Tonggong Suji, coupled with the condensation of the king's and ministers' luck, and the prayer of all the people, which forms the powerful lethality of the Tonggong Sujin.

In addition: "矰" is a type of arrow. In ancient times, birds were shot with arrows, and they were afraid that the birds that were shot would fly away with arrows, so they made this kind of arrow with a rope, which is called "矰", and when the bird wanted to escape, it could be dragged back by holding the rope.

But it is impossible to have such a long rope when shooting the sun, and it is impossible to pull back the arrows that shoot out, so it is said that the arrows that shoot the sun, after shooting out, the tail will drag out a long light (such as the fog sprayed by the tail when modern airplanes fly in the air), which is almost the same as the rope of "Jin", and in terms of induction, after shooting out, Su Yu will come back (only the arrow shot out can turn back is called "Jin"), so there is a saying that "Tong bow shocks, Su Yu must return".

In short, in the "Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", the "Great God of Zongbu" part is to try to reconstruct the legend of Hou Yi and Chang'e that conforms to the logic of ordinary people's thinking, and I also hope that readers can feel this sincerity.

Travel through history!

Continue to write the myth!

It's because we have that reverence for our ancestors.
