Chapter 262 Nuwa Mending the Sky... (Subscribe)
"10 suns, I'll go, Brother Fan, these 10 suns, must not burn the earth?"

Everyone was dumbfounded by the story Chen Fan told.

Isn't this imagination too rich?

However, Chen Fan continued: "That's true. One sun has already caused drought in many places when it is hot. If ten suns appear together, the entire earth will hardly survive. And at this moment, a A warrior called Hou Yi. Seeing that the people were about to be roasted to death by 10 suns, he took a magic bow and shot towards the sun. Hou Yi shot down nine suns in total, leaving only one The sun is above. In this way, all the common people can live, and the human race can continue.”

This story is called Hou Yi Shooting the Sun.

In this world.

Such an imaginative myth made everyone feel a little Spartan.

"Brother Fan, your imagination of this fairy tale is too powerful."

"First there were 10 suns, and then Hou Yi shot the sun."

"However, Brother Fan, what does this fairy tale have to do with that cultural relic?"

Although this fairy tale is indeed wonderful and imaginative.

But this fairy tale still hasn't solved the cultural relics unearthed just now.

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to me slowly."

Chen Fan nodded and continued: "The legend says that the ten suns in the sky are the sons of the Eastern Emperor Jun and Xihe. Both Emperor Jun and Xihe are divine birds. They look like crows, but they are not crows. They have three legs, they are all black, and they emit a huge light. Every ten days, Emperor Jun will let one of them rise from the Fusang sacred tree in the east. At night, they will go to Ruomu god in the west. Resting on the tree. Originally, they took turns to rest each day. Only one golden crow appeared every day, and the whole world was safe. However, the ten golden crows were too naughty. One day, ten golden crows suddenly appeared together. There are ten suns. People really can't stand it. At this time, a warrior named Houyi shot down nine of the ten golden crows."

The story is still the story.

But adding the story of the three-legged Golden Crow made the story extremely vivid.

"I'm sorry, Brother Fan, your level of storytelling is simply sky-high."

"Hou Yi shot the sun, and the three-legged Golden Crow turned out to be the sun. This imagination, this brain hole... can definitely make a movie."

"However, Brother Fan, we still don't understand. What is the relationship between this mythical story you mentioned and the cultural relics unearthed now?"

Everyone is still puzzled.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "Actually, I have made it very clear. If my guess is correct, the name of these fragments of iron is the Bronze Sacred Tree. Ten Golden Crows are carved on the Sacred Tree. And This sacred tree is the Fusang in mythology."

side said.

Chen Fan also drew the structure diagram of the bronze sacred tree.

On the structure diagram, Chen Fan drew a sacred tree like a hibiscus.

The sacred tree has four floors.

There are three golden crows parked on every third floor.

On the fourth floor, that is, on the top of the sacred tree, there is also a Golden Crow.

Adding them up, there are exactly 10 golden crows.

of course.

After Chen Fan drew the structure of the bronze sacred tree, Professor Zhou immediately sent his assistants to splice the broken bronze pieces together.

"This part seems to be the foot of the three-legged Golden Crow."

"This seems to be the head of the three-legged Golden Crow."

"This looks like a tree trunk."

"This should be a branch."

If there is no structure diagram drawn by Chen Fan, it is estimated that they will have to spell out such a pattern. I don't know the year of the monkey.

even.

They couldn't possibly spell it out.

Because there are too many broken iron pieces, you don't even know what these iron pieces can be combined with.

In fact.

Even in the previous life, it took 10 years to fight for this bronze sacred tree.

but.

At this time, with the structure diagram, everything becomes much simpler.

Although it is also very complicated, there are patterns as support after all.

And there are stories...

The entire structure diagram and the iron sheet have been visually linked together.

corresponding to the structure diagram.

Although everyone still spent several hours.

but.

When the basic appearance of the sacred tree was assembled piece by piece, the entire live broadcast room was completely stirred up.

"The Bronze God Tree, this is really the Bronze God Tree."

"My God, there really are three-legged Golden Crows."

"Is this sacred tree the Fusang sacred tree?"

of course.

At present, the bronze sacred tree has not been completely spliced ​​together.

But at this time, while the staff was cleaning up piece by piece, a group of fans had already seen the specific shape of the model.

Such a model is exactly the same as the bronze sacred tree painted by Chen Fan.

If there is another difference, it is that there are only nine Golden Crows here, not ten.

As for why one is missing.

That's not so clear.

but.

Just thinking about it, a fan had a new question: "Brother Fan, where did the nine golden crows go when Hou Yi shot the sun?"

"This one……"

Chen Fan had a headache.

He hadn't really thought about it.

But Chen Fan didn't think about it, and the other fans wondered, "Will Hou Yi pick it up and bake it?"

"what……"

"I guess it's not for roasting, but for making hot pot."

"That's right, isn't Shu the hometown where hot pot was invented? It turns out that our ancestors have already started eating hot pot for tens of thousands of years."

As for whether you believe it or not.

Look at the pottery unearthed in Sanxingdui.

On the top there is a pot-like utensil with three legs.

From this appearance, it is exactly the same as the pot for making hot pot.

……

[Sanxingdui was shocked to discover. 】

[Silkworm Cong and Yufu, the myth is manifested. 】

[Bronze Sacred Tree, the most beautiful bronze ware more than 4000 years ago. 】

It should be said.

The discovery of the Sanxingdui site is the most significant discovery in recent decades.

This discovery can push the history of Chinese civilization forward by another 1000 years.

This also broke the view that most historians believed that the history of Chinese civilization was only 3000 years old.

"Professor Wen, what do you think about Sanxingdui?"

"Professor Wen, you are an expert in history. You have always believed that the history of Chinese civilization is only 3000 years old. Do you still hold this view?"

"Professor Wen..."

Grave dug again.

Before that, it was because of Da Yuezhi.

This time, it was because of the ancient Shu civilization.

"Sorry, it's not convenient for me to be interviewed right now."

"We are also seriously studying the ancient Shu civilization."

"As for what Teacher Chen Fan said...maybe, maybe...it also makes sense."

His face was ashen.

On the one hand, Wen Zhimin refused the interview, on the other hand, he quickly closed his Weibo comments.

Yes.

It won't work if you don't close it.

At this time, under his Weibo, the army had already arrived.

……

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, tell us a fairy tale again."

"This is what some children listened to. Are you so interested?"

"I'm interested, I'm so interested, Brother Fan, I'm only 8 years old."

"That's right, Brother Fan, I'm actually only 6 years old."

The excavation of Sanxingdui is still going on.

At present, it is mainly concentrated in Pit No. 1.

In fact, Sanxingdui has a total of No. 6 pits.

According to the instructions above, only pit No. 1 can be dug at present.

but.

After Professor Zhou connected with Chen Fan, there was basically no need for Chen Fan to go to Sanxingdui in person.

In fact.

In Chen Fan's previous connection, he had already solved most of the problems.

About the identification of these cultural relics.

And about the provenance of these cultural relics.

Although what Chen Fan said were all myths, it seems that there is no specific historical data.

But these myths are incomparably in line with the ancient civilizations of these sages.

but.

When Chen Fan talked about a myth before, countless fans were deeply attracted by the myth Chen Fan told.

"Okay, then I'll tell you a few more things."

Needless to say.

Chen Fan also understood the attraction of these myths.

Let alone a child, even an adult, the first time he hears such a myth, his heart will be shocked.

Think about Houyi shooting the sun as mentioned earlier.

Think about what Chen Fan said, the sun is actually the three-legged Golden Crow.

This kind of imagination, this kind of brain hole... This has simply made countless people sigh.

"It is said that in ancient times, there was a god of water named Gonggong and a god of fire named Zhurong. Both of them had bad tempers and often fought. One day, the two great gods fought again. But accidentally, when they fought However, Gonggong broke Buzhou Mountain. The break was very serious. It turned out that there was a pillar on Buzhou Mountain that went straight to the sky. The two fought, and Gonggong accidentally broke Buzhou Mountain. A celestial pillar was also destroyed. At this time, because of the destruction of the celestial pillar, the entire topographical environment of the earth suddenly changed dramatically. For a moment, the sky tilted to the northwest, the positions of the sun, moon and stars changed, and the earth sank to the southeast. All the rivers flow to the southeast..."

This story is called Gong Gong's anger against Bu Zhou Mountain.

As soon as this story comes out.

For a moment, everyone thought of the Tianwen written by Qu Yuan earlier.

In Qu Yuan's Questions about Heaven, he asked why the sky tilted to the northwest and the earth fell to the southeast.

This question stumped countless historians, philosophers, and scientists at the time.

And this time.

Chen Fan suddenly gave the answer.

original.

The reason why the sky is tilted to the northwest is that Gonggong, the god of water, and Zhurong, the god of fire, are fighting.

Although that doesn't seem likely to be true.

But the reason why a myth is a myth is that it doesn't seem to be true, but often it can explain things we don't understand very well.

And sometimes, it doesn't seem true, but in some places it's extremely prophetic.

Just like the silkworms and yufu in the ancient Shu Kingdom.

If you think this is fake, then what happened to the Zongmu people in the ancient Shu Kingdom?

If you think it's a fake, then what about the golden staff unearthed in Sanxingdui with patterns of birds and fish?

If you think it's fake.

Then, Bronze Divine Tree, how do you explain it?
"It turns out that this is the sky tilting to the northwest and the earth sinking to the southeast."

"I believe in this myth."

"I believe too."

of course.

They believed in this myth not that it was really two great gods fighting.

They believe, that is, they think that this myth is indeed foreshadowing.

or.

The first name at that time only used myths and legends to record the situation at that time.

As for what happened.

This is too long, too long, and there is no need to be too entangled.

You only need to know that there is such a thing to understand.

At the same time.

Through this mythical story, you may have a better interpretation of the inheritance of Chinese civilization.

……

but.

Chen Fan's story didn't end there.

He continued: "After Gonggong hit Buzhou Mountain in anger, the Tianzhu collapsed, and the water of the Tianhe River poured down from the gap of the Tianzhu that hit it. A huge flood occurred throughout the land, and the survival of countless creatures was restored. One time, she fell into a threat. At this moment, a great god named Nuwa appeared. She had a human face and a snake body, because she couldn't bear the world to fall into such a disaster. So Nuwa took the refining five-color god stone and filled the gap in the sky. "

This story is called Nuwa Mending the Sky.

In fact, the earliest myth and Gonggong's collision with Buzhou Mountain are not the same.

At that time, Gonggong hit the Buzhou Mountain and hit the Buzhou Mountain.

Nuwa mending the sky is Nuwa mending the sky.

The two are separate stories.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that "Wang Chong" combined these two stories.

But it doesn't matter whether the two are independent stories or separate stories.

The story of Nu Wa mending the sky is more attractive and mythical than any other story.

"I thought that Gonggong's brainstorming into Buzhou Mountain was already big enough, but I didn't expect that there would be Nuwa mending the sky."

"Today is really an eye-opener, an eye-opener."

"I also opened my eyes. After a while, I must tell these stories to my daughter."

"me too."

……

"Dude, did you listen to the myth that Teacher Chen Fan told you yesterday?"

"Necessary, my head feels like Weng Qiu's head now, it's too imaginative."

"I also feel that it really broke my understanding of mythology."

"However, do you think the myth that Brother Fan said is true?"

"Of course it is true. The ancient Shu Kingdom has already proved it."

"I mean, what do these myths specifically mean?"

"Well, I don't know."

"If not, ask the instructor later."

"Haha, that's a good idea."

All the students nodded from time to time.

After a while, wait for the tutor to arrive with the textbook.

A group of students asked: "Teacher, we have a few questions."

"what is the problem?"

"Do you think it's true that Hou Yi shot the sun?"

"Have you heard the myth of Teacher Chen Fan?"

"Teacher, you also listened?"

"Learn a little bit?"

"Then do you think these myths are true?"

"Hehe, we are taking a history class, not a mythology class."

After the instructor finished speaking, he smiled and said: "However, in the earliest history, he is a myth."

For Chen Fan.

Although there are people like Wen Zhimin, most scholars and professors still admire them very much.

In the past few days, many professors in the field of history have also paid great attention to Sanxingdui.

Naturally, they also have some understanding of the myth that Chen Fan talked about.

just.

Compared to what many people think, this is just a myth.

But in their eyes, these mentors believe, this is more than just a myth.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the students, the instructor also understood the weight of these myths, and then said: "Teacher Chen Fan has told three stories in the past few days, one is the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, and the other is the story of Gonggong's anger. The story of Buzhou Mountain, the last one is the story of Nvwa mending the sky. In terms of comprehensive analysis, I think that these are actually two stories, one is about drought and the other is about flood. Hou Yi shot the sun, that is It is a means to deal with drought, and Nuwa mends the sky, which is to control floods, which is similar to Dayu's flood control that Teacher Chen Fan mentioned before."

"At the same time, whether it is a drought or a flood, these stories have one thing in common. That is, our ancestors in ancient times, when they encountered disasters, they would use their own methods to deal with these disasters. Moreover, the way they dealt with disasters The methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. For example, like Nuwa repairing the sky, this kind of repairing the sky should use the method of blocking water. But in the later period when Dayu controlled the water, he used the method of dredging. Including the water control of the ancient Shu Kingdom In this way, they also used to open up the mountains and let the river water return to the sea..."

have to say.

A professor is a professor, and the problems he sees are far more profound than ordinary people.

At this time, the students in the audience asked again: "Then about the three-legged Golden Crow, is there really a three-legged Golden Crow?"

"This cannot be explained for the time being."

The instructor shook his head and said: "But I think the three-legged golden crow should be a symbol of the sun. Moreover, according to the certification we scientists have obtained so far, that is, the sun is actually a black body. Of course, this black is not a simple black. His black body, Specifically, it means that all external electromagnetic radiation will be absorbed by it. In other words, this black body will also emit light. Therefore, I think the ancient ancestors described the sun as a three-legged golden crow, and the golden crow in it is a very interesting adjective. He That is, it reflects the blackness of the sun, and also shows that the sun can still shine. As for why there were ten suns in the sky at that time, this may be an astronomical problem. I guess, the environment of the earth at that time was not as it is now. ..."

of course.

What the professor said is not an explanation of what these myths represent.

What he really had to say.

That is, these myths represent the philosophy of Chinese civilization behind them.

Yes.

A civilization has a philosophy of civilization.

Western philosophy is different from Eastern thought.

The way things are handled in the West is also different from that in the East.

Whether these myths are true or false, and whether they represent specific things or not.

But the way of dealing with things shown in these myths represents the thought of Chinese civilization.

such as.

Facing the ten suns in the sky, facing the Buzhou mountain collapsed... What did the ancestors do in ancient times?
Instead of escaping, they chose to dispose of the hazard.

This represents the idea of ​​"man will conquer nature".

This kind of thinking has also influenced China for thousands of years.

Therefore, this kind of thinking has also created a splendid Chinese civilization.

But if this were placed in the west...then it would be the same.

Facing the punishment from the heavens, Western civilization can only bear it silently.

Or, if you can't bear it, just run away.

They would never think of rebelling.
