Chapter 653: Cangjie Creates Characters
The Battle of Zhuolu took place in a war between the ancestors of mankind about 5,000 years ago. The participants in the battle were the same camp as the Emperor and Yan Emperor and Chiyou. However, there were too many mythological figures, historical figures, and various myths and legends involved in this battle, and some of them were not easy to explain clearly at once.
After thinking about it, Huang Yifan was about to write a series for the Battle of Zhuolu.
The first thing that this series introduces is the mythical characters involved in the Battle of Zhuolu.
The first person to appear was Huangdi.
Who is Huangdi?
Huangdi was one of the common ancestors of China, with his surname Ji and his name Xuanyuan. He was originally the leader of the "Youxiong" tribe.
Of course, almost everyone knows these materials, and what Huang Yifan wrote is something that many people don’t know about.
What I don’t know about these is not the deeds of Huangdi, but the legends of some people around Huangdi.
Such as Du Kang making wine.
Du Kang was a minister in charge of food during the Huangdi period. Because Huangdi was wise, during his time, the grain was harvested every year, and sometimes it was too much to eat. And these uneasy foods were placed in the cave. After a long time, because the cave was relatively humid, they all became rotten. Du Kang thought of a solution when he saw this situation. He placed the harvested food in a hollow tree. After a long time, when he went to the place where the food was stored, he found that water was constantly oozing out from the hollow tree. After careful smelling it, there was a fragrance... Du Kang was very surprised. How could the food he was putting out? What was the water flowing out? Seeing that it was delicious, Du Kang took a small sip, and a sweet fragrance suddenly came to his face. At this point, the wine was accidentally created.
In addition to Du Kang making wine, the emperor's wife, Naila, was also very powerful and invented the raising of silkworms.
However, the more mythical one was the emperor's historian "Cangjie", who invented the characters, which was also called Cangjie's creation of characters in his previous life.
Of course, there are actually many legends about the emperor.
During the emperor's period, he also formulated music, mastered medical skills, and developed many agricultural tools.
In fact, the above are no longer myths, he should belong to historical materials, because he is not telling things about gods, gods and ghosts, he is just talking about the life of the ancestors of human beings at that time. But these legends only happened in an era that was too long and too long, and many things cannot be verified. Even if it is true, he has become a legend and a myth. But whether it is a myth, a legend, or a fact, Huang Yifan doesn't care. Huang Yifan believes that after the series of myths he wrote appears, people will recognize a more real Huangdi.
...
"Director Yuan, asked Mr. Qiu Shui, and Mr. Qiu Shui responded that there was no conflict."
In the Chinese Literature and History Group, a group of top scholars in Chinese Literature and History gathered together, but were discussing questions about the two myths written by Qiushui before. At this time, Ji Ziping, who asked Qiushui back, went online and said.
"No contradiction?"
Yuan Xingpei was a little surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I think everyone should stop studying this issue. Mr. Qiu Shui said that the next myth will explain this issue."
Ji Ziping explained.
"Can this explain it? One is thirsty and the other is killed. The two describe death completely differently. Could it be overturned and started over again?"
One of the scholars said in the group.
"Don't worry, everyone, I think Mr. Qiu Shui is not a typo. He wrote this on purpose."
Kong Shujun said at this time.
"Old Kong, I know you like Mr. Qiu Shui, but I can't protect him like this. It's obvious that the two stories are inconsistent. I already have some of my works that don't want to study Mr. Qiu Shui's works. Of course, I'm not saying that his works have no artistic ideas. But if it's used as historical materials, let's look for various documents carefully."
"Didn't you have a lot of contradictory statements in the literature and historical materials? You'd better listen to Shujun's words."
Yuan Xingpei also said: "Brother Shujun, what do you mean by writing on purpose?"
"It's very simple. If it's a typo, do you believe that Mr. Qiu Shui would make such an obvious mistake? Besides, these are the two myths just released. Judging from the release time, the two myths were released only 3 days. Not to mention Mr. Qiu Shui, even us, even some students, probably wouldn't make such mistakes. This is one, and the second. I just asked Mr. Qiu Shui, and Mr. Qiu Shui said it was not a typo. Everyone, do you think that with Mr. Qiu Shui's state, he needs to deceive us, or does he need to find an explanation for his mistakes?"
Kong Shujun's statement made everyone nod: "I think Lao Kong said it well. Mr. Qiu Shui is respectful, so how could he lie to us?"
"Yes, I think Brother Shujun's analysis is correct."
Yuan Xingpei also said.
"Then old Confucius, tell me, since the two myths are not contradictory, then explain what the so-called death of thirst and being killed by Ying Long."
"I don't know what the specific reason is. However, you should know that most myths and legends have metaphors. Just like Kuafu chasing the sun, we may not be able to define whether Kuafu chasing the sun for water and fire, but we absolutely know that Kuafu must not be chasing the sun. Therefore, this Sun is a metaphor, a metaphor for a certain thing, but we don't know what this thing is. And the same is true for thirst. I guess thirst is also a metaphor. He may not die of thirst, but was killed."
Kong Shujun's speculation suddenly made everyone in the group lit up: "Brother Shujun, what do you mean is that Kuafu Zhuri actually wants to do something, for example, they are going to find a water source, but they meet Yinglong, who is in charge of the water source, and Yinglong killed Kuafu?"
Yuan Xingpei was a little excited inside, and he seemed to have discovered the key point.
“It’s possible.”
Kong Shujun nodded: "But I'm not sure, and I think Mr. Qiu Shui's beginning to write these two contradictory myths must have his intentions. Maybe... Mr. Qiu Shui wants to unravel a huge mystery for us."
As for what this mystery is, Kong Shujun doesn't know.
Could it be that one?
Inadvertently, two words appeared in Kong Shugong's mind: Yanhuang.
Yes, the word Yanhuang is the biggest mystery in China so far.
