Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Story Assembly - The Divine Book
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Story Conference - The Divine Code
The story is based on historical facts, and it is a craft that is forged with sensibility and beauty.
Although Wang Xu is an archaeologist, he is still quite talented in making up stories, and in order to let more people understand archaeology and history, Wang Xu often published some small articles, and finally became a well-known Internet blogger.
It's all about his talent for writing and his ability to make stories.
The story he made up for the 'Battle of the Deer' is like this.
Chiyou, who couldn't bear to watch humans being stolen by the remains of wild beasts, stole metallurgy from the heavenly realm and helped humans forge weapons and armor to resist beasts and disasters, but he didn't expect that after humans drove away the beasts, they became greedy and used metallurgy to kill each other in order to compete for power, alarming the heavenly realm.
So the heavenly realm sent the benevolent Yellow Emperor and the wise Yan Emperor to find Chi You to 'negotiate', inducing a 'metallurgical war', and finally the two emperors of Yan and Huang physiology, Chi You realized that the art of metallurgy is a huge disaster for the current human beings who do not distinguish between human beings and those who do not understand morality, and are willing to assist the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor to teach benevolence and wisdom, jointly govern the world, and reshape the rules of the world.
Later generations should always use and explore the art of metallurgy with devotion and fear, and worship the great god of Chiyou every time, and reflect on the power that even a god like Chiyou cannot properly control, and how human beings should use him.
Although Wang Xu seems to have made up a mythical story, this story is full of fables and deeper core educational significance, although this generation of Guzhu people may not understand it very well, and only regard it as a mythical story to admire.
However, their descendants, under this kind of story education since childhood, have several great benefits for the shaping of the three views, and fables are the most effective way to open up people's wisdom.
Wang Xu changed the image of Chi You, which not only helped future generations to reflect on metallurgy, but more importantly, regarded Chi You as a part of the ancestor of humanity, and would not exclude him from Chinese culture.
The Jiuli tribe of Chiyou is archaeologically defined as the Dongyi Longshan Cultural Group, which is an important component of Chinese civilization in terms of cultural significance and anthropological pedigree, and it can be said that without Chiyou's Jiuli culture, the process of Chinese civilization will be delayed for more than a thousand years.
Because Longshan culture is one of the most important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, the research of cultural relics unearthed from Longshan cultural sites confirms many strong evidence of the independent origin of Chinese civilization.
It proves that China had iron smelting and refining technology and building technology in the early days, and the history of agricultural and livestock domestication has also been recharacterized, and more importantly, Longshan culture has the world's most advanced and unique 'black pottery'.
Huaxia is famous for ceramics, and all the credit lies in the inheritance of 'black pottery'.
Black pottery: black as lacquer, sound as out, thin as paper, bright as a mirror, hard as porcelain.
And this technology originated from the Dongyi tribal group 4,500 years ago, the Longshan cultural group.
The gray pottery with a height of 116 cm and a diameter of 44 cm found at this site in Longshan is the largest 'eggshell pottery cup' found in China so far, and the thinnest point is only 0.3 mm, representing the highest level of pottery industry at that time.
It has been praised by the world archaeological community as "the most exquisite production of the earth's civilization 4,000 years ago".
Black pottery technology is like the most favorable binder, which glued together several origins of Chinese civilization at that time, and cast the foundation of the glory of Chinese civilization in the later period.
As for the truth of the 'Battle for Deer', it is actually the result of a fierce fusion between Dongyi Jiuli Group and Dongqiang Zhonghua Group.
It is also a fusion and collision of Longshan culture and Yangshao culture, and finally formed the culmination of Chinese culture, Erlitou culture, which is suspected of being the Xia Dynasty in the archaeological world.
In this way, Wang Xu hoped to integrate science, archaeology and theocracy in later generations, which would become the foundation for his future foothold.
In other words, Wang Xu is ready to 'deify' science.
Later generations seem to have used science to grasp the essence of all things, but they have lost the reverence for nature and life, and excessive arrogance will eventually make human beings suffer the consequences.
However, the ancients used superstition and divine power to enslave all peoples, which is also a blasphemy against nature and life, and has also learned a painful lesson.
Science has the rationality of dialectical materialism, and theocracy has the sensibility of humanistic romance, and the combination of the two is the most perfectionist in Wang Xu's opinion.
It is also an alternative portrayal of the sentence 'barbarism is its body, civilization is its spirit'.
However, looking at the mentally retarded and fascinated clansmen, and then at Wang Li, who looked thoughtful, Wang Xu sighed, feeling that he had seen the end of this road.
It's a long way to go.
Wang Xu is going to arrange the myths and stories well and compile a work of faith comparable to the Bible and the Red Book.
The name is all set, and it's called the "Divine Codex".
The gods, leading to all things, the canon, from the bamboo ancient text.
Although he lost an axe, it was still very cost-effective to be able to make the first story of Wang Xu's "Divine Codex" come out.
After listening to Wang Xu's story about Chiyou, the clansmen had a new understanding of this three-headed, six-armed copper-headed and iron-clad Chiyou who had always been disgusted before, and he was only regarded as a villain who opposed the two emperors of Yan and Huang, but now he has become an ancestor who needs to be revered.
Especially when holding the axe of Chiyou's 'gift', they were quickly full of strength again.
Wang Li, on the other hand, sat on a stake, holding a half-axe in a daze, and looked like a fool with words in his mouth.
"Emperor, did you cast a spell on him?" The ink wolf came over suspiciously.
"Stay away from me, why do you smell so big?" Wang Xu covered his nose and frowned.
"Huh? What does it taste like? The ink wolf sniffed at himself suspiciously, and then vomited.
The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched, curious about his sense of smell.
But looking at the burns on his body, Yin Wang Xu understood, how could he have such a big smell on his body, he was the hardest working blower when he smelted iron yesterday, and he sweated in addition to the high temperature, and he didn't take a bath, and the body that already smelled was naturally even more difficult to describe.
"Isn't there a water source nearby?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.
"The nearest water source may be on the back mountain more than ten miles to the east, but there is a group of monkeys over there who will hit people with stones." The ink wolf bared his teeth and said.
"You can't beat a bunch of monkeys?" Wang Li seemed to come back to his senses and sneered.
"It's a bunch." The ink wolf rolled his eyes angrily, and Wang Li, "And the monkey kings there are almost one person tall, and the monarch said that he has become a sperm." ”
"Almost one person taller?" Wang Xu was also surprised, "That's really strange, you can go and see it in the future, by the way, is the water source a lake or a river?" ”
"It should be a lake, I only went with the monarch once in my early years, so I don't remember much." Ink Wolf laughed.
"Where is Kitayama?" Wang Xu took out the map and asked.
The ink wolf looked at it and pointed to a position, "It's probably here, I don't remember it clearly, the emperor can ask the monarch when he goes back." ”
Wang Xu put away the map and nodded, "Let Mojia and them stay here to clean up and prepare to go back, let's continue to walk inside and see if we can hunt another wild deer or something." ”
Mo Kui's name for the people of the Lone Bamboo Country is very simple and rude, and it is shot in the order of the heavenly and earthly branches, and the ink armor is the second warrior in the clan in addition to the ink wolf, and it is also the one who cut the axe just now.
"I see that you are passionate about hunting." Wang asked as he stood up with the golden eagle.
"Nonsense, I'm not interested in hunting, I'm interested in finding food." Wang Xu rolled his eyes.
"No, every time you mention hunting, your eyes are different." Wang Li shook his head.
"That's the excitement of food, too." Wang Xu waved his hand disapprerovingly, and walked east with the ink wolf and others, yesterday I went to the forest in the west, maybe it was still close to the people, and the range of wild animals was not so dense.
But the forest in the east is different, the trees here are obviously thicker and taller than in the west, and there are many more traces of animal activity, only more than half an hour, Wang Xu has stepped on the excrement of two unidentified animals, and the sound of birdsong above his head is also very harsh.
I have never seen so many golden eagles of the same kind and are also very excited, if it were not for Wang Li's death, it is estimated that it would have soared into the sky.
"Shh The ink wolf, who helped Wang Xu get rid of the excrement on his shoes, made a silent movement, and quickly climbed up a nearby tree to look around.
"There's big guys." The ink wolf lowered his voice.
"Bear or tiger?" Wang Li was a little eager to try.
"It's Randahand." The ink wolf jumped down from the tree, "It's big, we may not be able to hunt it." ”
"What is Randahand?" Wang Li and Wang Xu looked at each other at the same time.
"Well, it's a mountain beast, it looks a bit like a deer, but it's taller than a horse, especially the giant horn on the top of its head, which can kill a wild wolf." The ink wolf described this Qiandahan with both hands and feet, revealing excitement and helplessness between the lines, "And the skin is very thick, the elders of the clan have commented that it is difficult for the Qiandahan Jinshi to enter." ”
"A deer taller than a horse? Impossible, is it a camel? Do you have something on your back? Wang Li frowned.
"Do you know about camels?" Wang Xu was a little surprised.
"Of course, there are camels paid tribute by the Hu people in Xianyang Palace, and there are white ones." Wang Li said with a smile.
"This animal is not a camel, it should be a moose." Wang Xu said and frowned.
Moose is a creature, as the largest deer in the deer family, many people think that it is a European specialty, but in fact, there are still many in the ancient northeast, especially in the cold area of Heilongjiang, and there is even a people who specialize in raising this huge deer, which is the Evenki people.
It was transliterated from the Evenki, but it stands to reason that this transliteration shouldn't appear now?
"How did you know the name Randahand?" Wang Xu asked.
"It was Sima of the previous generation who told me, and he told me the names and characteristics of all the prey in this forest." Ink Wolf replied truthfully.
"Can't really hunt it?" Wang Xu did not continue to ask.
"I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure." The ink wolf hesitated, "And the male of the Qiandahan has a fierce personality, which is related to the safety of the emperor. ”
"I'm going to see what it is, fiercer than a tiger?" Wang Li was a little unbelieving, climbed to the tree, looked at the binoculars, and burst into foul mouths with excitement: "Er, mother, maid!" Such a big deer? It weighs fifteen or sixteen stones! ”
