Chapter 653: Cangjie Makes Words

The Battle of Zhuolu was a great battle between the first human ancestors about 5,000 years ago, and the participants in the battle were the Emperor and Emperor Yan, and the Chiyou camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, there are too many mythological figures, historical figures, and all kinds of myths and legends involved in this war, and some of them are not easy to explain completely at once.

After thinking about it, Huang Yifan was going to write a series for the Battle of Zhuolu.

This series begins with the introduction of mythological characters from the parties involved in the Battle of Zhuolu.

The first to appear was the Yellow Emperor.

Who is the Yellow Emperor?

The Yellow Emperor was one of the common ancestors of China, surnamed Ji Xuanyuan, and was originally the leader of the "Youxiong" tribe.

Of course, almost everyone knows this information, and what Huang Yifan wrote is what many people don't know.

And what these people don't know is not about the deeds of the Yellow Emperor, but some legends about the characters around the Yellow Emperor.

Such as Du Kang makes wine.

Du Kang was a minister in charge of grain during the Yellow Emperor's period, because the Yellow Emperor was wise, during the period when he was in charge, there was a bumper harvest of grain every year, and sometimes there was too much to eat. And this inexhaustible grain was put in the cave, and after a long time, because the cave was relatively wet, it all became rotten. Seeing this, Du Kang thought of a way, he put the harvest grain in the hollow tree to store, and after a long time, when he went to the place where the grain was stored, he found that water was constantly seeping from the edge of the hollow tree. If you smell it carefully, there is a fragrance...... Du Kang was very strange, how could there be water coming out of the grain he put in, and what was the water flowing out. Seeing that it was strange and delicious, Du Kang took a small sip, and a sweet fragrance came to his face at once. At this point, the wine was accidentally made.

In addition to Du Kang's wine-making, the emperor's wife, Luozu, was also very powerful and invented silkworm breeding.

However, what is more mythical is the emperor's historian "Cangjie", who invented writing, and this myth was also called Cangjie in the previous life.

[In the primeval period, human ancestors did not have writing, and at that time, people recorded the quantity, production, and daily life with knotted ropes, which is also called knotted rope records. It means tying a knot when you encounter something that needs to be written down, a big knot for big things, and a small knot for small things. At first, there was naturally no problem with such knots, but after a long time, there were hundreds or thousands of knots, large and small, and who knew what these knots meant. Even, because of the mistake in the knotted rope chronicle, it fell to the fact that the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor lost in the border negotiations. For this reason, Cangjie resigned and traveled all over the world, imitating a good way to remember. Three years later, he returned to his hometown of Yangwu Village, Baishui, and lived alone in the deep ditch to "watch the curve of the stars and observe the traces of the hooves and claws of birds and beasts", and sorted out various materials to create various symbols representing all things in the world. He gave these symbols a name, and they called them words.

Legend has it that when the word was coined, the millet in the sky fell like rain, and countless ghosts screamed and rang all night long. 】

Of course, there are many legends about the emperor.

During the emperor's reign, he also formulated musical rhythms, mastered medical skills, and developed many agricultural tools.

In fact, the above is no longer a myth, he should belong to historical materials, because he is not talking about gods and ghosts, he is only talking about the life of the ancestors of mankind at that time. But it's just that these legends happened in a time too long, too long, and many things can't be verified, even if they are true, they have become legends and myths. But whether it's a myth or a legend, or even a fact, Huang Yifan doesn't care. Huang Yifan believes that after the emergence of a series of myths written by him, people will recognize a more real Yellow Emperor.

……

"Director Yuan, I asked Mr. Qiushui, and Mr. Qiushui responded that there was no contradiction."

In the Chinese literature and history group, a group of top scholars in the study of Chinese literature and history gathered together, but they were discussing the two myths written by Qiushui before. At this time, Ji Ziping, who asked Qiushui to come back, said online.

"No contradictions?"

Yuan Xingpei was a little stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"I don't think everyone should study this problem, Mr. Qiushui said, and the next myth will explain this problem."

Ji Ziping explained.

"Can this be explained, one is dying of thirst, the other is killed, the two depictions of death are completely different, can it be overturned and restarted?"

One of the scholars said in the group.

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to the old plan, I think Mr. Qiushui may not be a clerical error, he wrote it on purpose."

Kong Shujun said at this time.

"Lao Kong, I know that you like Mr. Qiushui, but you can't defend him like this, there are two stories that contradict each other. I don't want to study Mr. Qiushui's work anymore, but I'm not saying that his work doesn't have an artistic idea. However, if it is to be studied as historical materials, let's take a closer look at all kinds of documents. ”

"Don't you have a lot of contradictory statements in your literature and historical materials, let's listen to what Shujun said."

Yuan Xingpei also said: "Brother Shujun, what do you mean by deliberately writing?" ”

"It's very simple, if it's a clerical error, do you believe that Mr. Akisui would have made such an obvious mistake? What's more, these are still two myths that have just been released, and judging from the release time, the two myths were only released for 3 days. Not to mention Mr. Qiushui, even us, and even some students, probably wouldn't make such a mistake. This is one of them, and the other is that the old man also asked Mr. Qiushui just now, and Mr. Qiushui has already said that it is not a clerical error. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that with Mr. Qiushui's state, it is necessary for him to lie to all of us here, or is it necessary for him to find an explanation for his mistakes? ”

Kong Shujun's statement made everyone nod: "I think what Lao Kong said is good, Mr. Qiushui is highly respected, how could he lie to us." ”

"Yes, I also think Brother Shujun's analysis is right."

Yuan Xingpei also said.

"Then Lao Kong, tell me, since the two myths are not contradictions, then you can explain what the so-called death of thirst and being killed by Ying Long are."

"I don't know exactly why. However, you should know that most myths and legends have metaphors. Just like Kuafu's day-to-day chase, we may not be able to define whether Kuafu's day-to-day is for water or fire, but we absolutely know that Kuafu must not be chasing the sun. So, this day by day is a metaphor, a metaphor for a certain thing, but we don't know what this thing is. And death by thirst is the same, I guess death by thirst is also a metaphor, it is possible that he did not die of thirst, but was killed. ”

Kong Shujun's speculation suddenly made the eyes of everyone in the group light up: "Brother Shujun, do you mean that Kuafu is actually going to do a certain thing day by day, for example, they are going to find a water source, but they meet Ying Long, who is in charge of the water source, and Ying Long kills Kuafu?" ”

Yuan Xingpei was a little excited in his heart, and he seemed to have found the key.

"Possibly."

Kong Shujun nodded: "But I'm not sure, and besides, I think Mr. Qiushui must have his intentions when he wrote these two contradictory myths at the beginning, and it may be ...... Maybe Mr. Qiushui wants to solve a huge mystery for us. ”

As for what this mystery is, Kong Shujun doesn't know.

Will it be that one?

Inadvertently, two words came to Kong Shugong's mind: Yan Huang.

Yes, the word Yan Huang is the biggest mystery in China so far. (To be continued.) )
