Chapter 8: A Vivid History Lesson
As soon as we heard that we were going to tell mythological stories, we all came to the spirits, and the fat brother didn't sleep anymore, and the five of us were arranged in a line, and we all sat in the first row.
Professor Chen also came to the spirit, his expression was joyful, and the decibel level increased, but he still said very slowly: "Next, start, class." Then he turned around and wrote a few words on the blackboard, "descendants of Yan Huang", and then turned around and asked us with great interest: "Do you know who Yan Huang is?" ”
As soon as we nodded, he asked himself and said, "Yan Huang is the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, the ancestor of the Han people, and the ancestor of the Chinese." "It's as if I've memorized it for a long time, and I can continue to speak at a very fast pace." The Yellow Emperor's surname was Gongsun, and later evolved into Ji, called Xuanyuan......"
With Professor Chen's passionate opening, several of us also entered a mythical world.
The content of the whole class mainly talks about the origins of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, as well as their children and grandchildren, characters, and historical achievements. And the most mythical is the section of the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou.
It probably means that the Yellow Emperor lived in Shaanxi, was born in more than 2,500 years BC, and his birthday was the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar.
His father's name is Shaodian, and he was married by close relatives of Fuxi and Nuwa. The Yellow Emperor's father, Shaodian, was the boss of the Youxiong tribe, and his son Huangdi was promising, united various tribes and became the chief chief of the United Chieftain Tribe.
Chiyou lives in Shandong and is the eldest of the two tribes of Dongyi and Jiuli. This Chi You is very good, and his tactics in farming, making weapons, and fighting are all more powerful than the Yellow Emperor, and he is also more educated than the Yellow Emperor. He led his people to promote farming, smelting copper and iron, making five soldiers, creating a hundred arts, tomorrow's way, and rationalizing education, making his tribe stronger and stronger.
And this Chiyou has two horns on his head and wings on his back. He has eighty-one brothers, these eighty-one people are all freaks, all of them are beasts and human faces, have eight arms, have copper heads and iron foreheads, and have nine toes, only eat the sand and stones in the river, and are good at using knives, axes, and ges to fight, and they are extremely brave in battle, and they don't want to die, anyway, they are very powerful.
As for the reasons for the war, Professor Chen mentioned three versions, the first of which is that the Yellow Emperor expanded his power to the east, because it was governed by Chi You, and the farming technology was developed and the land was suitable for farming.
The second version is that Chiyou expanded westward and heard that the Yellow Emperor had become a joint chief chieftain and wanted to annex the Yellow Emperor's power.
The third version is that Chi You beat Emperor Yan, that is, the Shennong clan who tasted the herbs, from Hebei Province, and Emperor Yan went to the Yellow Emperor for help if he was not satisfied, and came to challenge Chi You.
The war was in Zhulu County, Hebei Province, when the Yellow Emperor took the initiative to attack Chiyou, Chiyou was more powerful than the Yellow Emperor, his brothers could fight, and they also got a bunch of monsters to participate in the war, and directly gained the upper hand.
The Yellow Emperor spent fifteen days, fought nine battles, lost nine battles, and had no choice but to retreat.
When the Yellow Emperor went back, he was troubled, thinking about it day and night, hoping that someone could help him.
One day he dreamed at night, and he dreamed that there was a strong wind that blew away all the dirt in the world, and then he dreamed of a man with a big crossbow in his hand, driving tens of thousands of sheep.
After waking up from the dream, this Yellow Emperor pondered on the kang, and the wind blew away the dirty things, that is, the wind drove away the dirt, and the dirty soil was blown away by the wind, isn't that a postscript, that is to say, the first person is the descendant of the old Feng family.
And the one with the big crossbow must be very powerful, and he drives so many sheep, and driving the sheep is grazing, and the second person must be called Limu.
Because of a dream, he sent someone to find these two people, and really let him find the wind on the seashore and Li Mu on the edge of the swamp. The Yellow Emperor was happy now, he made Fenghou the prime minister, Li Mu as the general, and sent troops to attack Chiyou.
Chi You gave it for nothing, he opened his big mouth and spit out a fog that stretched for hundreds of miles.
As a result, after the wind, he had the ability to build a guide car, so he took the army of the Yellow Emperor out of the fog.
Chi You saw that the fog was useless, because he studied farming techniques all year round, and often went to worship those gods about the weather, and their relationship was quite good. Chi You invited Feng Bo and the rain master, one was windy and the other was raining in the sky, and Chi You asked Ying Long to go to the lower realm, continue the rain, and prepare to wash the Yellow Emperor's army with water.
The Yellow Emperor was scared again and didn't know what to do.
At this time, the Queen Mother of the West sent a birdman, saying that it was the Nine Heavens Xuannu, to see how the fight went.
As soon as the Yellow Emperor saw that this woman was a human-headed bird, she must be a fairy, so he knelt on the ground and begged for a goddess. The Xuannu asked him what was wrong? The Yellow Emperor said that he couldn't get Chi You, and wanted to learn a method of winning all battles, so Xuannu handed him the rhythm and taught him to play a musical instrument.
After the Yellow Emperor learned the rhythm, he made a drum out of the skin of an ancient giant beast and used the drum as a trumpet.
After the wind, he used the rhythm of Xuannu's music to create various methods of arranging troops.
There is also a small episode in it, Ying Long is a god in the sky, and there is a goddess fairy who likes him, called Nulu. Because Ying Long helped Chi You fight in the human world, he had turbidity on his body and couldn't fly back to the sky.
For the sake of her beloved man, she absorbed all the turbidity on Ying Long's body, and the female lu who absorbed the turbidity became very ugly, and she lost her mind and became a female demon king.
Ying Long went to recover the Nulu, because only Ying Long's water could extinguish the Nulu's fire. As a result, at the moment of killing Nu Lu, Nu Lu regained consciousness, Ying Long also knew the truth, and Ying Long, who was too sad, went to Antarctica.
Without Ying Long's help, coupled with the formation of the Wind Queen, the Yellow Emperor quickly defeated Chi You.
Regarding Chi You's fate, Professor Chen also said three versions. The first version is that Chi You's army couldn't defeat the Yellow Emperor's army, and Chi You was directly cut off by the Yellow Emperor, and his head turned into a blood maple forest.
The second version is that the Yellow Emperor's army advanced, and Chiyou was defeated and ran away with his clansmen, and then the Jiuli tribe evolved into Sanmiao, which is the ancestor of the current Miao people.
The third version is that Chi You's horns opened the mountain and broke the stone, and the Yellow Emperor still couldn't beat it, and the arrogant Chi You stood on the mountain and said: "I'm so powerful, who in the world dares to be?" As a result, the Yellow Emperor and his grandmother Nuwa threw down a boulder, which read, "Taishan Stone Dare to be", Chi You saw that Nuwa had made a move, so he was so frightened that he surrendered to the Yellow Emperor, and later specially built weapons for the Yellow Emperor.
After the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, he went to this Mount Tai to seal the Zen, the sacrifice is on the top of Mount Tai, in the pavilion sacrifice ground, where is this pavilion, there are different opinions.
Throughout the class, Professor Chen took out sentences from various ancient books to corroborate.
Although I can't remember the titles of those books, and I don't understand the content of the ancient texts, I can know that Professor Chen's mythical story is definitely not made up, but has a historical basis.
As the bell rang for the end of class, Professor Chen also used the last sentence: "It cannot be verified." "This history lesson is over.
The fat brother and I listened with joy on our faces, and Zhou Tongtong and the three of them also had bright eyes.
The three girls helped Professor Chen downstairs, and asked this and that along the way, the fat brother and I followed behind, discussing the authenticity of the legend.
In order to prevent them from leaving the school gate again, the five of us had a lunch meal in the school cafeteria.
After the meal, I still urged the three of them to have a good class in the afternoon. The fat brother and I went back to the hotel, slept and recuperated, and at night we had to learn from the Yellow Emperor, think of a way to outwit people, and today we must subdue the sucking ghosts.
