At the same time, this part of the content is a kind of learning of traditional culture, if you are also a reader who likes this aspect or want to write about this work, I hope this part can provide you with reference.
This is the story that the broken kitten wants to tell. If you want to explain and analyze in detail, Broken Kitten thinks that a scholar who studies this aspect may not be able to finish it in his life, so Broken Kitten only says the key part, I hope readers like it.
First of all, in the traditional Chinese myth of man-making, it is the earliest and most primitive.
In addition, there are two versions, one version is: there were originally people in the world, but because of the wrath of the heavens and the great flood, so the human race was completely destroyed, and only Nuwa Fuxi was saved by the dragon and went to heaven, and finally combined to recreate man.
Another version is: In the primitive period, there were ten gods, named Nuwa's intestines, which means that the people in this world were created by Nuwa and ten other gods.
Then the order in which these three versions appear in history is from top to bottom.
Readers may wonder why this is the case. In fact, it is very simple, as soon as you say it, you will understand, that is, the transformation of people from matrilineal clans to patrilineal clans has caused a change in mythology.
In other words, in matrilineal clans, people revered female reproductive organs and believed that only women reproduced, so there were no men in the original creation story. But later, with the change of the mode of production, men gradually became the dominant force in social production, so they were no longer satisfied with the legend that only women made people, so there was a story of Nuwa Fuxi creating people together. Later, in order to further reduce the status of women in society, other gods were added to create human beings, so that women almost lost the right to give birth and raise, and even the phenomenon of men being confined.
Therefore, the story of the first two people is used in this book and combined together, which is actually an expression of the normal transformation of human society in the primitive period.
Some readers say that such stories are already old, and today's friends can come up with more magical myths just by thinking about it. Broken kittens are also helpless, but traditional culture is more of a kind of heritage, it actually contains profound thoughts, readers can communicate more, don't always waste youth for tens of millions of words, after all, you can't get anything.
At the end, the broken kitten also wants to ask a question, that is, what was Nuwa when she was at the beginning, was she a human, a god, or what? This is actually a very interesting thing, the broken kitten will be shared with readers in the next text, and readers can also consult the information by themselves.
If you are not interested in this part, there will be a chapter mark in front of the main article section of Broken Kitten, so the next time you see the direct name, you don't need to open it directly, so as not to waste your time.
Finally, thank you again for your company and wish you a happy heart.
