After listening to Li Sheng's words, Antonio seemed to be more interested. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 He smiled and said, "If you have time, can you briefly say the difference between the Eastern mythological system centered on China and the Western mythological system?"

Although Li Sheng did not have a deep understanding of the Chinese mythological system, and he had not done any research on the Western mythological system, he liked to think crankily since he was a child, and he did not have something to say about this issue.

But he smiled and said: "In fact, the difference between the mythological systems of the East and the West is the difference between the naïve philosophies of the two sides. I can't understand it for a while. ”

"Haha, let's talk about it briefly. Antonio looked at it and said. "We can sit down and say. ”

Li Sheng didn't know why he suddenly became interested in the myth of China. Still, he followed him back to his original position and found a rock to sit down.

Antonio said with a smile: "Some people say that the ancestors of the Indians have been in contact with the ancestors of the Chinese people, and the treasures of Indian culture are also developed with the help of this group of ancestors from China." So I'm very interested in some of the Chinese cultures. I think mythology is also an important part of culture. ”

Li Sheng has also seen some discerning speculations that the Indians are actually descendants of Yin Shang. But speculation is always speculation. Li Sheng felt that even if the Mayan civilization did have the credit of the descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty, it did not mean that the Indians were the descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty. If there were that many people, they wouldn't have had to cross the Pacific to the Americas.

"Well, I can give you some of my superficial opinions. But I don't know if that's correct. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "As far as I know, in the myths of the East and the West, there is a god who created the world. In European mythology, it was God who created the world. It was his will that was used. ”

"Yes, the Lord said that if there is a need for light, there will be light, and if there is a man, there will be a man. You have what you want. That's what the Bible says. ”

"And the gods who created the world in China can actually be regarded as creation, but change. In this mythical story, a great god named Pangu and heaven and earth merge into one, and at this time, heaven and earth are not separated, but chaos. When this giant god had been asleep for countless years, he woke up to find that the chaos of heaven and earth made him very uncomfortable. He used a giant axe to split the chaos, rising lightly, precipitating heavily. So there was heaven and earth. Fearing that the heavens and the earth would be reunited, the god set his feet on the earth and his hands held up the sky, and his body grew three meters tall every day, and the heavens and the earth were separated three meters a day. Finally, the giants finally separated the heavens and the earth, and no longer gathered together. And the giant also reached the limit of his lifespan and fell to the earth. The parts of his body became soil, rivers, mountains, forests, grasslands, and the sun, moon and stars. ”

Antonio listened quietly to what he said, nodded and said, "This is indeed very different from the legend of God. God created the world with his mind, and he is immortal, requiring everything in the world to obey his will. But Huaxia, the giant god of Pangu, created the world with his life and body, which is a selfless contribution. ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "In fact, this is the epitome of the simple philosophical differences between the two peoples. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Westerners are about conquest and obedience, while Easterners are about tolerance and contribution. Western mythology is always about a few gods. And it requires people to believe in only this God. And there is a supreme god in China, but it does not require people in the world to worship him. Western God said that as long as you repent to God, no matter what bad things you have done in your life, you can get God's forgiveness and you can enter heaven when you are in heaven. The gods of China, on the other hand, persuade people to be good and accumulate merit in order to get rid of their sins. ”

He paused, organized his words and continued: "Therefore, the God of the West allows people to do bad things, as long as they believe in God, it doesn't matter what they do, because God is the master of everything. The gods of China supervise people who have done bad things or good deeds, record these things and then judge people's lives, and God mainly exists as an overseer. I think that's the fundamental difference between the two sides. ”

Antonio nodded and said, "You are right, God does have a teaching to advise people not to do evil things, but even those who have committed heinous sins can be forgiven as long as they believe in him and repent." But forgiveness does not save those who have been mutilated. For example, we Indians. I'm more interested in Chinese culture now. Perhaps, I should study the mythological system of China, which will help me to compare the connection between Mayan culture and ancient Chinese culture. ”

He pestered Li Sheng and told a lot of stories about Chinese mythology. But Li Sheng didn't have much inventory, so he could only take out everything he knew. For example, myths or history such as Nuwa mending the sky, Nuwa creating man, and Dayu controlling the water can make some comparisons with their Western counterparts.

When he had almost exhausted all the stocks in his head, Tia finally separated all the couplets into upper and lower couplets and taught all the Gilolo people to paste them.

And at this time, the sun is also setting in the west. Li Sheng hurriedly said goodbye to Antonio: "I have to go back to make dinner." The Chinese people's Spring Festival dinner needs to be much more sumptuous than usual. Professor, aren't you really going to my house for dinner?"

"I think the Gilolo tribe is a better fit for me. Antonio smiled and refused. "But I hope to get a taste of your cooking next time. I've heard your cooking is amazing. ”

Li Sheng took Tia and Chahi, and little Dalalo back to the villa to make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Then I made black sesame dumplings -- many southerners don't eat dumplings during the New Year -- and I'm going to eat them tomorrow.

After making the rice balls, the two girls had a lot of white noodles glued to their bodies, and Dalalo even had flour on their faces. Li Sheng hugged Dalalo and asked the two girls to wash their hands and faces together. As soon as they came out of the living room, they heard thunder.

Li Sheng looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, and said to Tia with a smile: "I hope your father's bonfire party is over." ”

Tia went out and looked at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds in the light of the electric snake. She ran back and said, "It's going to rain heavily tonight." Are we going to wait until the wee hours of the morning to set off firecrackers?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "If you are sleepy, you don't have to wait." If it rains all the time, you'll have to wait until the rain stops. He smiled and pulled out two large boxes, laughing. "Come, let's seal red envelopes together. ”

Tia opened the larger one and found that it was all brand new light blue banknotes, all of which were 100 reais.

"So much money?" Tita smacked her tongue in the face of so much cash.

In fact, there is not much cash in this box, only five million, which Li Sheng specially asked people to go to the bank to get back. In other words, Tia is also a little rich woman, and she still has more than a billion on her card. It's just that she hasn't seen so much cash.

Li Sheng opened another smaller box and said, "It's not enough for you to donate to the little angel for a month." ”

Tia stuck out her tongue at him, then took out a bundle and said, "How do you seal the red envelope?"

Li Sheng took out a packet of red envelopes and said, "Just put the money in these red envelopes." ”

"When will so many red envelopes be sealed?"

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said: "Now there are more than 2,000 workers on the farm, and some Chinese workers have gone home for the New Year. But it also contains more than 2,000 pieces. "It does take a lot of time.

The two of them don't know how long it will take to finish it. He thought for a moment, and then the security guards who were on guard near the villa came in. Let them seal it together.

"Two thousand reais first. This is for the workers. Li Sheng said. and this shall be sealed two thousand three hundred. "You can't count the wrong money. ”

As he spoke, he also took out a few money counting machines, and I have to say that Zhang Feng was still thoughtful.

The four security guards are two from China and the United States. The players from Huaxia were very quick at the beginning. And the two in the United States, who are used to holding guns, always seem a little stupid at first. But soon they kept up with the speed, the four of them counted the money, and the two of them sealed the money into the red envelope, and the speed increased.

It took the six adults nearly two hours to seal the 2,300 red envelopes. Tia shook her hand and said, "It turns out that counting money is also very tiring. ”

But it's not over yet, Li Sheng asked the security team to leave first, glanced at the heavy rain outside, and said, "I still have to pack for the children." He took out a smaller red packet from the box and said. "This time it's going to be five hundred. ”

"How many do you want to pack?"

"Do you want to give it to the child, will you give it to me too?" asked Chahi with a wink.

Li Sheng smiled and patted her head: "Of course I will." This is New Year's money. ”

Chaxi's eyes widened, and she smiled and picked up a large red envelope, and picked up another bundle of money and stuffed it in. Then she held the red envelope in her arms: "This one is mine." ”

Li Sheng laughed and said, "I can't give it to you until tomorrow." It's like Christmas. It's tomorrow's gift. Come and give it to me first. ”

Chaxi obediently gave the red envelope to Li Sheng and said, "Can't mess it up." ”

Li Sheng put his red envelope in a separate place and said with a smile: "Your red envelope is the thickest." It won't mess up. ”

So Li Sheng and Tia began to seal five hundred red envelopes. But there aren't many kids on the farm right now. But there are hundreds of them. Of course, you don't have to give all of them. So they only packed more than 200 and just gave up. As a result, five million in cash was left with hundreds of thousands.

Li Sheng grabbed a handful of scattered ones and gave them to Cha Xi and said, "Well, these are your pocket money, put them away." ”

Dallalo was already asleep. Li Sheng thought for a moment, handed the other one to Tia and said, "This is for Dalalo." You help him put it away. ”

"Good. Tia took it casually, and then put it in a red envelope and said. "This is my red envelope for him. Give it to him tomorrow. ”

Li Sheng smiled, put the red envelope in the box, packed it, and put it in the corner of the living room and piled it up. But he looked at the dozen or so bundles of bills that were left on the table, thought for a moment, gave five of them to Tia, and said, "When you meet your friend's children, give them some pocket money too." And he took out five more sheaves. "These, you give Taclolo. This amount of money is a bit too little, but Li Sheng feels that it may not be a good thing to give too much money to Taclolo, who has just learned what money is.

Tia blushed and put the money away. She knew something in Huaxia. Huaxia's husband would give his wife some money to bring back to her parents' family.

Although this is only 50,000 reais, it is stingy compared to Li Sheng's net worth. But she felt that this was an attitude of Li Sheng. (To be continued.) )
