Chapter 320 If you can't help people, how can you do ghosts? Ask for a full order
In the earliest evolution, human beings can be divided into two self-cognitive processes, which laid the cornerstone of human civilization as a species.
One is called a sense of presence, and the other is called a sense of belonging.
The most primitive sense of existence is the physiological feedback, pain, hunger, cold, this sense of existence made human ancestors jump from the tree to the tree to survive.
But as the ancient humans at the bottom of the biological chain, after leaving the protection of trees, they faced the threat of fierce carnivores and omnivores on the ground, which frightened ancient humans, and then a certain ancient human began to unite with other kinds, and in the jungle life of escape, the race gradually grew, learned tools and cooperation, and finally began to slowly climb up from the bottom of the food chain.
This group of formed families is the sense of belonging that ancient humans first searched.
But when humans climb to the top of the food chain, and the saber-toothed tiger, which is as strong as a mammoth, also becomes food, this sense of belonging disappears, and the earliest ethnic differences appear, leading to civil wars.
When ancient humans found a sense of belonging again, they had gone through a long period of human era, and finally the earliest prototype of religious theocracy, that is, the prototype of human civilization, appeared, so that this group formed a consensus.
If Wang Xu wants to make Guzhu Country a real ethnic group, he must let everyone find a sense of belonging.
Wang Xu couldn't use the bloody primitive but most effective means to govern the country, so he could only take another path, perhaps the ancient humans had walked before, but they were defeated by the barbaric road.
Since the essence of religion is formed by the dopamine secretion of human beings for fear of death.
So as long as the same dopamine is secreted, so that the lonely bamboo people feel happy and addicted, they can also achieve the effect of a sense of ethnic belonging.
The essence of religion or nature worship is the dopamine secretion of fear, which leads people into an addictive state, and people mistakenly believe that they have happiness and joy, or a sense of security, sustenance, and all the other emotions that human beings need.
Including the later royal power, the essence of human rights is useless to jump out of this rule.
This rule makes people feel high by using human cohabitation and dopamine secretion, and this dopamine secretion is contagious to each other, so that this sense of addiction is contagious in the crowd, and it will make the weak individual, which means that he has found a group that he can rely on and rely on.
Fear and pleasure are both a type of human spiritual feeling.
And this mental feeling is physically explained by dopamine.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is used to help cells transmit impulses.
This brain secretion is related to people and sensations, and it transmits information of excitement and happiness.
And dopamine has also been implicated in a variety of human addictive behaviors.
That is, any addictive behavior of human beings is directly related to dopamine, whether it is alcohol, drugs, smoking, tea, gambling, or even sex.
Because dopamine is a precursor to norepinephrine, a key neurotransmitter in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, dopamine works to transmit messages of euphoria and pleasure, and people become addicted to some things mainly because of it.
Theoretically, increasing this substance can produce feelings of euphoria, but it can be addictive.
And this dopamine secretion can be interfered with by some substances, such as nicotine, sugar, and hormones.
So it's not particularly difficult to make people feel happy.
But ivory is always pleasant, and it's a difficult thing.
Because people's greed is endless, including the greed for pleasure, most of the causes of death of addicts and drunkards are due to excessive intake, which is the so-called, lack of human hearts and swallowing elephants.
Therefore, contentment is the most important quality that human beings should have.
But this quality has not been solved by human evolution for thousands of years, and Wang Xu naturally does not expect to be able to solve it.
But he can take advantage of the fact that the dopamine secretion of the lonely bamboo is not too complicated and greedy, set a boundary, and then teach everyone how to feel content and happy around this boundary.
This method is art.
The essence of art is aesthetics, and aesthetics is the highest and most convenient way to satisfy the spiritual pleasure of human beings before it was ruled as a ruling weapon, but this way requires a lot of time and energy, just like most artists, who are poor and even miserable all their lives, and are unwilling to give up their artistic pursuits.
From an outsider's point of view, an artist is a waste of resources and life, but in fact, the educational role of art should be lower than the educational role of enslavement in terms of cost.
Music was originally defined as art because it is the most direct way for human dopamine to secrete.
In a time when human beings are underfed and hungry, music can convey information and emotions at the same time, and ferment in the process of communication.
Because the original music conveys a kind of horror message, the horror message can also secrete dopamine, which is the reason why a few people have masochistic tendencies.
But with the long development of human beings, the message conveyed by music has also changed from horror to awe, joy, and solemnity, but those terrifying memories have been bound to music, so when human beings receive this kind of awe, joy, solemnity and other messages, they will also secrete dopamine.
Awe, joy, and solemnity will not be dopamine secreted until human civilization has given other spiritual meanings, and human beings will burst into tears because of awe and joy, which is already a very late thing.
For example, the definition of sacrifice, in the ancient tribal period, sacrifice would not be celebrated, nor would it be called a hero, or even ridiculed.
At least in Chinese civilization, due to the continuous praise and sacrifice of Confucianism, this event was inspired by later generations and dopamine was secreted.
At this time, Western religions are telling people that there is such a thing as heaven to use the dopamine that fears human beings, so as to achieve the purpose of enslavement and control.
The people of the Lonely Bamboo Country have a very low standard of pleasure, and being able to eat and dress warmly without freezing to death is the greatest level of pleasure for them.
The core values that Wang Xu wrote on the city wall were not pleasant to them, but only regarded them as a rule to be respected.
They could not have burst into tears for the word peace, they would only obey the king's advice because he had rewarded them with enough food.
People like Zhai Qiu and Mo Ren who have found their ideals and pursuits are very few in the Lonely Bamboo Country, so Wang Xu called them psychics.
When there is a psychic, Wang Xu will lead them into the second cognitive transformation of mankind.
That is to face death.
The first cognitive change of human beings is a BP behavior driven by instinct, but the essence is also the fear of death.
In psychology, this is called self-awareness.
Religion, art, and civilization are all based on the fear of death and the perception of the self.
If one day these things can make people no longer fear death, but face it, then humanity has entered a second cognitive change, or evolution.
Is it what Confucius said that if you can't do anything to people, how can you do ghosts?
Unknown life, unknown death?
It is also self-perception in psychology.
And the third level of superego cognition is a field where Wang Xu only has concepts and no contact, because Wang Xu has never asked himself in the direction of a saint and a god.
But after all, such psychics are a minority, but such a minority may determine the future fate of the Lone Bamboo Country.
In order to let everyone feel the secretion of dopamine and give the clan a sense of belonging, Wang Xu still felt that it needed to be born from the physical level.
Music is a great way to do that.
In the Battle of Liaoyang, the embattled spiritual attacks of the women and children of Donghu were used to reduce a lot of damage, which proved that even wild people, music will also affect their dopamine secretion.
But as long as it can be influenced, it is easy to resonate.
When an individual is immersed in the sense of empathy formed by the group, a sense of belonging arises, which is the first step of the group.
Let the physiological pleasure caused by this dopamine be bound to the abstract spiritual symbol of the lone bamboo, then the lone bamboo tribe will be born.
From a commercial point of view, it is a model of NBN sales, similar to putting diamonds with marriage NBNs.
In later generations, when people mention diamonds, they will think of marriage.
Now Wang Xu wants to think of Guzhu when people feel the physiological pleasure caused by dopamine secretion such as happiness, excitement, and addiction.
Over time, the lonely bamboo is a symbol of pleasure for everyone.
When an external force wants to break this pleasure, it causes the anger of everyone.
This is the primitive form of national pride.
But because of the musical cell, no one is different, some people are used to the drum beat, some people are used to plucking, and some are suitable for the rhythm.
It's like a lot of good guitarists, but they're sound nerds.
In this way, in order for everyone to be able to use the music for dopamine secretion, it is necessary to make a lot of musical instruments.
From ancient times to the present, the craft of making musical instruments has been tied to religion and royal power.
The religious instruments of various religions, as well as the ritual music in the Chinese civilization, are all the same unattainable, and the popular musical instruments are also all eliminated by a certain religion or ritual music because of political factors, before they flowed into the people, such as the Han dance that could only be performed in the court before, there were famous dancers such as Wei Zifu and Zhao Feiyan, and it flowed into the folk after the Wuhu Chaohua, and even became the dance of the hook fence in the market.
The same is true for musical instruments, the ceremonial music of the Zhou Dynasty, the music of gold and stone headed by the chime, with the change of royal power, various political needs, and finally replaced by the music of silk and bamboo in the Han Dynasty.
The casting of the chimes and other golden and stone music is not as serious as before, and even the people can be privately cast, if it is placed in the pre-Qin period, it is a felony of the three tribes.
However, due to the high manufacturing cost, the chimes were eventually slowly eliminated, and the later generations of Zeng Hou Yizhong were barely able to restore it using the technology of the industrial age, which is enough to see the status of such musical instruments in the pre-Qin period and the superb skills of craftsmen.
People who are born with a good understanding of music theory are in the minority, and there is no one in a million who has such a talent as absolute tone, and only with absolute tone can a standard instrument be made.
Later generations of tuners, there is a saying that God appreciates food.
There is an absolute tonal genius in the country of Guzhu, that is, Mo Lian, but Wang Xu is reluctant to let her do musical instruments, after all, the affairs of the country are inseparable from him, and later there are several geniuses in the sacrifice in Donghu, but the instruments they make are all made of stones and animal bones, and the music they master is not the orthodox five tones of China.
Later generations of music were influenced by Western culture and were accustomed to the seven-tone scale of Doremi's shivering, but the popular five-tone in China refers to the Gongshang Jiao Huiyu.
It seems that there are two less tones, but in fact, the five tones of Huaxia have a change of tone, a change of palace, a change of signs, and it is also a seventh-order tone, and from the unearthed cultural relics of the Jiahu culture bone flute, Huaxia has a complete and accurate seventh-order sound 000 years ago, and there are even a few step-tone bone flutes, which may be thousands of years earlier than the West.
So Wang Xu has not touched a serious guqin for such a long time, and he wanted to ask Wang Ben for a piece in Liaoyang City before, but then gave up for the sake of face.
After all, a lonely bamboo country that seems to be strong and rich can't even take out a piano, which is really embarrassing.
But it's really hard to find a craftsman who can make musical instruments, although Mo Kui's half-hung witch has made a few bronze ritual bells, but the sound is too inaccurate, except for the sound of the sound, there is no pleasing to the ear, occasionally knock on it to refresh the mind, after a long time, it is really a kind of noise.
Not to mention dopamine, maybe even the desire to survive has been lost.
