Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 127 An Ancient Fuxi Divine Comedy
The ancestors at the end of ancient times, many things here will deeply subvert the thinking of modern people.

Innate gossip is for hunting.

The totems Fuxi believed in provided a large amount of meat to tide over the difficulties when the tribe was in life and death.

These are different from the modern mainstream view, one day and one place.

of course.

In this terrifying era where strange beasts are rampant, it is not easy for people to survive.

How can there be so many strange sayings from later generations.

Under the guidance of the old man, continue to take the host Lin Feng to really understand the Fuxi tribe in this "myth".

Going deep, I saw a small stone platform half a meter high. This is an altar, where the tribe usually worships God.

Feng Sangong had a hunched back, cloudy old eyes, and blurred eyes and asked, "Young man, do you know what this is? What is it for?"

Lin Feng is aware of the origin of the ancestor sacrifices in ancient times.

Why did the ancients sacrifice.

Nothing more than two reasons.

The first is ancestral beliefs.

Ancestors can be revered as gods or ghosts. There is one thing that remains unchanged between gods and ghosts—there is an eternal blood relationship and interdependent relationship between ancestors and descendants.

It is precisely to express the gratitude and filial piety of the descendants, and to pray for the blessings of the ancestors, so that the sacrifices are passed down from generation to generation.

The second reason is the belief in heaven and earth.

People have a limited level of knowledge.

In the fight against nature, it is impossible to explain the laws of nature and the contradictions and changes in production from a scientific perspective.

Such as the movement of the sun and the moon, volcanic eruptions, and storms.

Faced with various threats brought by natural disasters, people are panicked and helpless.

They believe that these unpredictable phenomena are controlled by a supreme god or ghost commander, so they attribute all the natural laws of nature to ghosts and gods, which cannot be resisted. Express awe and prayer to heaven, earth, ghosts and gods.

Food people regard food as their heaven, and the first sacrifices used food as the main means.

The word "sacrifice".

The focus of the sacrifice is to report to the ancestors and to heaven and earth.

Sacrifice is to hope that the ancestors of heaven and earth will give new guidance, teaching and inspiration.

Therefore, in the upper part of the sacrifice, the left side is the animal, the right side is a hand, and the bottom is the god.

Sacrifice, on the left is God, on the right is Si.

Regarding Lin Feng's "modern people's point of view", Feng Sangong shook his head and did not agree.

Could it be that the oldest sacrificial ritual has other hidden secrets?

"Sacrifice."

"Actually, it's a sacrifice of your own body."

"Sacrifice your own soul."

"Wash everything in the fireworks."

"So that after we die, we can float up to the sky, go to the world on that day, and enjoy the happiness of the new life without suffering any more."

This statement directly made the muscles on Lin Feng's face twitch.

After a while, he looked at the oil-soaked altar, and his heart couldn't help beating violently.

in mind.

Think of a bloody and cruel picture.

His voice trembled a little, "Feng Sangong, you don't use living people to sacrifice, do you?"

Feng Sangong opened and closed his shriveled lips, "Of course I use a living person."

The sky and the earth were dark, with gusts of cold wind blowing, the old man's voice was hoarse and low, which made people feel chills down their backs, making them extremely scary.

"Depend on!"

Lin Feng couldn't help yelling swear words, and said, "Why? Can't the meat of wild animals be used as sacrifices?"

Modern audiences are also frightened by the "dialogue between ancient and modern times" in the camera.

Many people gasped, thinking that the ancient sacrifice was too cruel and senseless, right?

Feng Sangong shrugged and said, "It's just a sacrifice, and people don't die, so they usually use other meat instead."

Hearing this, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that the sacrifice here is not to worship the ancestors, but to sacrifice himself, so that after death, he can go to the "heavenly world"...

This statement may sound strange, but it is actually easy to understand!

After all, the people living on the earth are too bitter and difficult at this time!

Who doesn't yearn for a "wonderland"?

The good thing is.

In later times, the meaning of sacrifice changed.

Maybe people think that no matter how they worship themselves, they will not be able to ascend to the fairyland, so they should pay homage to their ancestors and pray for God's blessing!
Continue to the next area.

This side is closer to the cave area where the clansmen sleep, and the steep stone platform extends upwards.

On several stone platforms, Lin Feng saw a lot of ashes from the bonfires.

The surrounding footprints are messy.

It looks like a place where the Fuxi clan celebrates the harvest and sings and dances.

"Old man, is this the score?"

Lin Feng squatted down, and on a small stone slab, there were many symbols that looked like rhythms and syllables of later generations. These symbols were neat and uniform, and they looked very extraordinary.

Lin Feng doesn't understand music, but as a normal person, he can also see that this score is not simple.

"It is the song, roared at night by all grown men."

"It was created by the Chief."

"In our clan, it is also called Fuxi Divine Comedy."

Feng Sangong explained.

"This is the origin of the earliest music!" Lin Feng was very excited.

Not just him.

modern time.

In a research institute that studies ancient history, everyone is working overtime to record various scenes that appear in the program.

"Teacher, this is an ancient rhythm. It is not in the right direction for our research. Do you need to write it down?" A young man asked.

"Ancient music is also a part of history. Of course, it must be recorded. The three of you copied it separately and compared them. There must be no mistakes." The old professor wearing reading glasses said with a serious expression.

"Teacher, but we don't understand music?" a girl said.

"It's okay, tomorrow I will take the ancient music score and ask an old friend for help." The old professor replied.

"This show is amazing!"

"Who says it's not? There are many historical questions that have troubled us for a long time, but the answers are all found in a variety show. It's very strange."

"When I was sleeping at night, I almost doubted whether the host, Lin Feng, had really time-traveled?"

"Don't think about it, the background of the central station is also unfathomable."

……

Central Building.

Several old artists were invited to the conference room. These are all senior singers of the older generation.

After entering, each person was handed out a page, on which was the ancient score that appeared in the camera.

"Leader, this is indeed not an ordinary song. It has a low tone and is specially written for men's voices."

"It's really extraordinary. If you don't believe me, I'll sing a few lines for everyone."

A tenor lowered his voice, and then sang according to the symbols on the score, his voice thick and deep.

Incredibly, extremely penetrating.

It seems that it does not come from the throat, but resonates with the whole body. The sound is released from the whole body. It is almost impossible to distinguish the source of the sound, and only feel the pain in the eardrum.

Unheard of special vocalization.

Because generally speaking, only sharp voices can form penetration!

The sound fell.

Several old artists were shocked, their eyes were shining brightly, and their faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

For them, this is a new field!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great treasure to suddenly acquire such a mysterious singing method in the twilight years of life.

"Good guy, Lin Feng, who did you hire someone who is a master of the world to make such a heaven-defying score?"

A CCTV leader spoke with emotion, but unfortunately, no one gave him an answer.

In the lens.

The dialogue between ancient and modern times continues.

"Feng Sangong, since it is the song created by the leader Fuxi, and the dance of the tribe at night, there should be other meanings, right?"

The old man didn't answer, but asked instead, "Young man, what do you think?"

Lin Feng thought for a while and replied, "The purpose of collective singing and dancing is to strengthen the bond between the tribes!"

Night falls.

by the campfire.

A group of primitive tribes held hands, let go of their throats, sang and danced, and their mutual affection increased, and the relationship went further; at the same time, it could release the repressed nature of the suffering of life.

did not expect.

But Feng Sangong said, "That's not right. Singing and dancing at night is actually to save your life."

Music and dance.

Not art.

Is it to save your life?
Lin Feng's cognition of the Three Views has been refreshed once again.

The old man didn't explain any more, he just opened his mouth quietly, saying that until tonight, Lin Feng could sing and dance in person, and go and see for himself what kind of horrific and terrifying event would happen.
