Chapter 649: The Meaning Behind Kuafu’s Day

A long time ago, in the northern part of China, there was a mountain rising from the ground, which was as high as the sky, so it was called "Chengdu Zai Tian". The mountain cut rocks, clouds and mist, and pine and cypress stand upright, making a magnificent scenery. On this fairyland-like mountain lived the descendants of the great god "Hou Tu", called the Kuafu clan. The leader of the Kuafu clan was called Kuafu. He was extremely tall, powerful, strong will, and extraordinary spirit. At that time, the world was desolate and backward, with poisonous snakes and beasts rampant, and people lived a miserable life. In order for the people of this tribe to survive, Kuafu led everyone to fight against the flood and beasts every day. Kuafu often hung the vicious yellow snake he caught on his two ears as decoration, and took pride in taking pride...

In the works, the wonderful story and the grandeur of imagination should belong to the mythical genre.

Even the novel with the richest imagination today, whether it is a romance novel, urban superpower novel, or fantasy novel with imaginative imagination, myths can completely crush it. Similarly, the same is true for this article Kuafu Zhuri. When the scene of Kuafu chasing the sun appeared in everyone's eyes, all readers were captured again.

"Mr. Qiushui, Mr. Qiushui actually wrote another myth."

"It was Houyi who shot the sun before, but now it is Kuafu who chases the sun. His imagination of shooting the sun is already very impressive. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu Shui actually wrote another hero who chased the sun."

"I seem to understand that Mr. Qiushui should use myths and legends to make us cherish time."

"It's true. In the common saying, Kuafu's chasing sun is to race against the sun. The sun can also represent time. This is indeed to make us cherish time."

After reading Kuafu Zhuri, readers talked about it from time to time, but everyone had different opinions on what the myth of Kuafu Zhuri means.

"Racing with the sun is just what we understand. It is unknown whether Kuafu Zhuri really wants to express his meaning is to cherish time."

"If Kuafu chasing the sun on the top floor means to cherish time, then why did Kuafu die later? He did not chase the sun, but instead exhausted himself. This kind of ending of cherishing time is too tragic."

"Haha, this reminds me of what Mr. Qiu Shui said back then, "If you have the limit, you will be in danger." If you use a limited time to chase infinite knowledge, you can only die."

"Ha, you know how to refute it. Then, what does Kuafu Zhuri mean?"

"How could I know this?"

"I don't know and refute it, so I might as well find Mr. Qiu Shui to judge."

"Forget it, who is Mr. Qiu Shui? How could he come forward for this little thing? Besides, although I don't know what Kuafu Zhuri really wants to express, do I have no power to refute? What's more, the explanation you mentioned is not perfect..."

Kuafu's sun chasing and Houyi shooting the sun, both have legends about the sun.

Similarly, whether it is shooting the sun or chasing the sun, the impact after this myth is revealed is extremely great.

If Houyi's shooting of the sun appeared before, everyone had more doubts about Houyi's so-called shooting of the sun. After all, although Mr. Qiushui was also famous at that time, he had not yet reached the current height. Now Mr. Qiushui is at the peak of the highest level of Chinese culture, and all doubts have become thoughts.

However, Houyi's shooting of the sun is easy to understand. Shooting the sun seems exaggerated, but there is also a reason. The reason is that there are ten suns in the sky, and people feel it is too hot, so they have to shoot some. However, Kuafu's rushing to the sun is a little confused, and Mr. Qiu Shui did not point out why Kuafu was rushing to the sun. This also shocked many readers by this myth, but also felt a little confused.

What does Kuafu Zhuri mean?

Why did Kuafu chase the sun?

Similarly, this series of issues has been put on the "Chinese Museum of Literature and History" and has become the museum's research agenda.

"Everyone, what do you think of Mr. Qiu Shui's Kuafu Zhuri?"

Director "Yuan Xingpei" formed a research team, but at this time he was studying and analyzing Kuafu Zhuri written by Qiu Shui.

"Let's discuss the meaning of Kuafu Zhuri first."

If it were ordinary myths and legends, Yuan Xingpei could not study them at all, no matter how well these myths were written, the myths written by Mr. Qiu Shui would be different. Although in theory, Qiu Shui is a modern person, the myths written by modern people are just like novels written by modern people, and at most they have the significance of the present, and it is absolutely impossible to cover the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient times.

However, in Yuan Xingpei's eyes, he didn't think so.

Although he knew that Mr. Qiu Shui was a modern person, Yuan Xingpei believed that the myth written by Mr. Qiu Shui must have been rigorously written after a large number of literature and history and various books. Just like Fusang, where Houyi shot the sun, before, a group of literary and historical researchers believed that Fusang refers to a local name, or some people simply thought Fusang was Japan. However, after the three-legged golden crow written by Mr. Qiu Shui began to march from the Fusang sacred tree in the world, everyone truly knew that Fusang may not be a local name, but may also be the name of a sacred tree. Especially the example given by botanists made Yuan Xingpei even more believe that Mr. Qiu Shui must be a master who is proficient in various disciplines in China, so he could write such a myth of humanistic value.

Therefore, when facing Mr. Qiu Shui, Yuan Xingpei had already studied the myths written by Mr. Qiu Shui as historical materials.

"Director Yuan, I think this myth written by Mr. Qiu Shui should tell us to cherish time."

A young member of the group replied.

However, after the member finished speaking, the other person on the other side shook his head: "This understanding is only the understanding of us modern people. Although he can have such an explanation, he can even spread this explanation better in the future. But I think we should look for the explanation closest to this myth, that is, find out the truth behind the myth. If Kuafu Zhuri thinks it is to cherish time, I feel that this myth is a warning to us not to overestimate ourselves."

This statement is not without reason. The sun is so far away from the earth, let alone modern people, even ancient people probably knew that they would never be able to chase the sun. However, Kuafu still had to chase it. The final result was that Kuafu was exhausted when chasing the sun, which also showed the consequences of overestimating one's own abilities on the other hand.

However, such statements must not be recognized by the Chinese Museum of Literature and History. What they studied was not the hidden meaning of myths, but the truth that myths were produced at that time.

"I think Kuafu is a fire thief hero."

After the two of them briefly communicated, another group member stood up and said: "In the primitive period, there were quite a few ethnic groups who did not grasp the source of fire. However, when they tasted the convenience brought by "Sky Fire", they knew the importance of fire. Therefore, as the leader of a ethnic group, the first task was to make fire. How to make fire is of course very simple for us modern people, but it was extremely difficult for people of these tribal groups in the primitive period. However, the sun gave them enlightenment. Seeing the glowing sun, everyone would think that it was definitely the source of fire..."

The age in myths and legends is definitely the primitive period, and the fire is extremely precious in the primitive period. It is normal for the sun to shine and heat, which is equivalent to a fire. The reason why Kuafu chased the sun was to find the fire, so he started chasing the sun. It was a pity that he was finally burned to death by the sun, or to death by the fire.

This explanation can be said to be fairly reasonable.

That is, it explains the meaning represented by myths, and also finds the survival of human ancestors at that time from the meaning of myths.
