Chapter 187: Excellent Reason
『Click on the chapter to report an error』
There are cases of love at first sight, through appearance, voice, smell, behavior, etc., if the other person's genes are recognized as appropriate, the brain will secrete love hormones. Love hormones make people passionate, impulsive, fantasizing and even addictive (how to say drugs). Therefore, the IQ of men and women in love declines.
Since women can be 100% sure that their offspring contain their own genes, women show a greater sense of responsibility for their offspring, while men cannot be 100% sure that their offspring are their own, so they show behavior to spread their genes to the maximum extent (the root of lust and lust) and do not put their eggs in one basket in order to increase the success rate.
Well, it seems that I have been talking about reproduction for a long time, which disgusts many literary and artistic young people who are full of romantic feelings, but if it weren't for such genes (for the purpose of reproducing and expanding the distribution of genes), that kind of life would have ended long ago. We can assume that there were ideal species (created through genetic mutations) that did not have the fundamental purpose of reproduction, and they must have become extinct soon (environmental changes, natural disasters, diseases, etc., species with a small base are more likely to become extinct), and the reason for this is that they did not have the fundamental purpose of reproduction.
This explanation has a wide applicability, genes are the behavior that unconsciously controls life, and when you fall in love, you don't feel that you are controlled by any force, but only feel that it is your own active behavior. The power of genes to control life is also called instinct.
Well, in Wang Jian's opinion, although this is very crooked, it really can't be wrong.
The most important thing is that he can't beat Long Yifei, and his power is much inferior.
However, when a banquet began, Wang Jian's face became worse and worse.
In fact, Wang Jian knows that some Chinese crews have ordered a lot of clothes and furniture from the secret realm, which can be more simple and appropriate.
The main thing is the sitting position, which makes Wang Jian unhappy.
Long Yifei was placed in the position of the master, legally speaking, this is not bad, as an embassy, it does have such a function.
However, Bai San, this guy, didn't care at all, and sat on the right hand side of the guest of honor, that is, Long Yifei, and the body was almost only one meter away, which was naturally beyond this kind of kneeling hall.
The princess was affectionately pulling Qiao Suya and saying something, while the diplomats were trying their best to maintain something.
As an "ordinary" member, Wang Jian was of course not allowed to enter the hall, but was arranged outside.
Of course, there is still no disadvantage in food, after all, those who can participate in the mission can be said to be people of a good level, and they usually do not lack a bite to eat, and you are abusing others now, but you are going to rebel.
Of course, Wang Jian noticed it first and gave everyone a roasted corn.
"Isn't this corn sold in the supermarket, 20 pieces of so-called natural organic corn, I see, it turns out that I have contributed a base batch to the secret realm before. ”
Wang Jian was not surprised by this at all, but at this time, this originally sweet and large grain corn became more and more unpleasant.
He suddenly stood up slowly and walked into the hall, although there were people maintaining the so-called order, after all, Long Yifei and the princess of the other world still attracted the excitement of many people.
Here's the problem, though.
Wang Jian knew a lot of ways to sneak into places that didn't allow outsiders to sneak in.
The most classic and simple, low-cost is two people, carrying a telescopic ladder, and then come in together, most of the time, what park, movie theater, the doorman is too lazy to pay attention to you, thinking that you are here to work.
Of course, you can't wear a suit and leather shoes, it's easy to wear.
This trick is just to take advantage of the blind spots and weaknesses of human nature, and it's simple, isn't it?
"Let me send a speech to my boss. ”
This reason is simply guaranteed.
No one dares to check the speech, in case something goes wrong.
Of course, when Wang Jian walked in the center of the hall openly, none of the thirty or forty people who were qualified to participate in the banquet in the main hall did not look at him.
Wang Jian looked at Long Yifei, who was glaring angrily, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Today's guests are full, the wine has the secret sorghum wine, the food has the secret old corn, it can be said that it is very happy, but how can there be no dance in the banquet, I want to dance the sword here, for the world, for the peace, I don't know if the dragon girl can be in music to make everyone happy. ”
Wang Jian had already copied the crescent moon in his hand, and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard, which was also transformed by the dragon horn sword, which was very useful, so he also grasped it in the palm of his hand.
Looking at the man in front of him, Long Yifei was dissatisfied for a while, but he said: "Today is mainly peace, how can you use swords and soldiers, let's go down and eat your corn slowly." ”
Wang Jian didn't take this as any truth, but nodded and said, "Okay, then let me dance the sword for everyone." ”
In ancient times, the reason for respecting the sword was simple, because it was difficult.
The sword was revered as the "Emperor of a Hundred Soldiers" in China's Cold Weapon Era, and both scholars and rangers had an almost paranoid enthusiasm for it: for example, for literati, the symbolic equipment that could best reflect their noble conduct and ambition was the sword and the harp, and when they habitually wanted to show off their "seriousness", they would often claim that they had "sword courage and heart", which shows that even the elegant Xiushi who is as elegant as "mountains and flowing waters" does not think that carrying a "sword" will bring "roughness" to themselves On the contrary, it can actually better set off their noble and refined temperament; and for martial artists, the sword is even more incredible, even if your usual weapon is a nine-toothed nail rake, when you have gained enough status in the rivers and lakes, and are considered by others to be "both virtuous and artistic", you will also be respected by the public as a "swordsman"! Think about it, if you are called a "rake man", how much does it sound like a fall?
As for what nine-tooth nail rake, well, you are Zhu Bajie, not a young man.
Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a special word called "Shujian" in our Chinese, such as Meng Haoran's poem in the Tang Dynasty "Thirty years, the book and sword have no success", Sima Guang in the Northern Song Dynasty wrote "How much does the king go to glory, it is still the body of the book and sword back then", the Yuan Dynasty Tang-style "Shujian does not seek officials" and the Qing Dynasty Fangwen's "The war is still undecided, the book sword can be smelled" and so on, the word "Shujian" in all these verses actually refers to "civil and military" In other words, since the Tang Dynasty, the sword has achieved a status that can be almost equal to the most important books for the inheritance of culture, and can even represent everything related to technical combat or military affairs.
At the same time, the sword in China is also endowed with a layer of mysterious temperament, so mysterious that through the cultivation of it is enough to achieve a mysterious and unpredictable, and the realm of harmony with heaven and earth, so we have many weapons in ancient times, but only the sword can be connected to the Tao, called "Kendo (the origin of this word is "Wu Yue Chunqiu", and the Japanese kendo is not the same thing)". So whether it's a Taoist priest who catches ghosts and draws talismans, or those immortals who like to fly around, their standard equipment is often a sword. I'm afraid no one has ever seen a drama or movie, when the pure yang real person Lu Dongbin appeared, he ran out with a waist knife, right?
The sword has an incomparable revered status among China's cold weapons, and it engraves the tenacity and courage in the depths of the soul of our Chinese nation, and the literary talent of the literati through the ages. It is precisely because of this that the sword can carry the extremely broad and profound cultural connotation, shine with a noble and sacred somewhat illusory glory, and become an indelible cultural gene engraved in the thousand-year-old blood of our Chinese nation. As for why it has such a lofty status, we have to start with the history of the sword.
In "Interpretation of Names", it is said that "the sword is also checked, so the anti-inspection is very", that is to say, the earliest sword is a self-defense weapon used to prevent accidents.
Just as lobsters are also shrimps, the legendary "Emperor of Soldiers" in the beginning of the generation, is just a weapon, and compared to what sticks (this is the "ancestor of a hundred soldiers"), spears, bows and arrows and other main weapons in ancient times, the sword is quite useless, so when did it begin to have a certain symbolic meaning, so as to gradually transcend other weapons?
Sword. This thing is not only in hand-to-hand combat, especially in the face of emergencies when you need to make an emergency response, the effect is quite good, and it can also be easily taken out at any time to peel the skin and cut the flesh of the animal, so it gradually spread. To borrow a cliché, time flies, time flies, Zhang San has been swept into the rolling torrent of history and disappeared without a trace, but the sword was regarded by the ancients as a must-have for home travel, war, fishing and hunting because of its portability and versatility (which can refer to the popularity and development of watches and mobile phones).
However, we must note that in the tribal life of the ancients, people actually had a simple division of occupation, and the general principle of the division of labor was that the able-bodied young and middle-aged men were responsible for guarding safety and hunting meat and food; what about women, children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who were relatively not superior in physical strength? Those old and weak women and children, you are all responsible for office work, what is the use of carrying a wilderness survival suit every day? Therefore, in the Neolithic Age, where the material was not greatly rich, the stone sword that was finally sharpened had to be used by those field personnel first, which is called "each taking what he needs".
Over time, it became a customary custom, or norm, for young and middle-aged men to carry a sword with them when they went out. And the sword has gradually become a sign of individual strength or strength.
At the same time, it is precisely because in ancient times, the young and middle-aged men in these tribes were not only the main warriors who defended the clan tribe, but also the main source of meat - the most important production laborers, so these people in the tribe are actually quite a group of identity, and their identity also comes from the "powerful force" represented by the sword in the waist, so the sword naturally has a certain identity significance.
Then the sword does have a similar special status in the East and the West, they are both symbols of aristocratic force, in which the symbolism and practicality of the West are still relatively close, and the symbolism of the East is completely alienated, so that the sword is different.
So, how did this come about?
It may be because the performance of the sword weapon in all aspects is relatively moderate.
The cost of making a sword has a certain threshold, but it is not particularly difficult. Swords are more expensive than spears, and spears are cheap because they only need to be made with a spear head, so they are the weapons of the lowest level soldiers, and they cannot reflect the status of nobles. The structure of the sword is simple, and it is not difficult to build. Because the sword has a blade, sharpness, and a steel mouth, it can not only build an armed force on a large scale, but also be carefully crafted for the nobles.
The difficulty of using the sword is also relatively moderate. Heavy weapons such as meteor hammers and maces require a lot of strength, and ordinary people can't play with them, and only talented generals can use them, and they can't get one in the nobility.
The English longbow is a special weapon that requires arduous training to play well, and even hurts the body, and is not suitable for noble lords.
On the one hand, it is not too difficult to use training, and on the other hand, it must be trained, which is also a characteristic suitable for nobles. Swords have a wide range of applications. The spear is only suitable for use in formations on the battlefield, bows and arrows must be fired in a volley to be powerful, and swords can be used in battle formations on the one hand, and can be used alone on the other hand. Even occasionally eat a barbecue or something, and you can also cut meat with a sword, which is just suitable for the status of a nobleman.
There is a saying in the left: The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong. In the eyes of the Chinese, the sword is the soldier of the gentleman, known as the king of a hundred soldiers. Mainly derived from the shape of the sword: straight and double-edged. As a gentleman, you should uphold the righteousness of the world and be upright. The sword, which caters to exactly that. The straight body of the sword means that people must be upright, and the double-edged sword always reminds the sword-bearer that he needs to be cautious at all times, otherwise, the double-edged sword may hurt himself. In short, the sword has all the good qualities that an ancient gentleman needed: integrity, restraint, but extremely sharp, which means that a gentleman will win if he does not fight. Let's talk about the West.
And it's not just Huaguo.
The holy sword of the West, the first is of course King Arthur's holy sword, the sword of victory of the oath, also known as the sword of cutting iron, which is said to have been made by the lake elves of Avalon Island, and the sword body is inlaid with treasures and extremely sharp. Then there is the holy sword Dilandal, legend has it that the holy sword of the paladin Roland, is the sharpest holy sword in Europe, known as the Sharp Blade. Legend has it that the sword of King Henry was the sword of King Henry, and the tip of the sword is said to have been taken from the famous holy spear Longinus, known as the Blade of Conquest for his immortal exploits in following Henry. The European worship of the sword comes from the knightly culture, shining armor, sharp holy swords, heroic warriors, and the original "Prince Charming" was born from the legendary famous Knight of the Round Table, Gawain. Knights, whose basic rank is knighthood, are also an important aristocratic class, and they have always been trendsetters, so it is not surprising that swords are highly prized by Europeans.
