Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 55 Dayu's long-cherished wish to rule the world

Dayu controlled the floods and walked through the house three times.

This story is well known.

It sounds like Dayu, in order to save the common people, mourns the suffering people in the world, and is unwilling to enter the house to enjoy the blessings by himself.

However, according to the information obtained from Lin Feng, there are several versions.

"There is such a thing, how did you talk about it in your era?" Dayu asked curiously.

Lin Feng said:

"The mainstream saying is that you have the common people in your heart, and the flood is not over, so you don't enter the house."

"The other way is to say that it is a way of respecting ghosts and gods in ancient times. In order to please ghosts and gods, ghosts and gods help them repair water conservancy and control water in order to please ghosts and gods."

"There is also a saying that you were afraid to go home due to tribal pressure."

"It even said that you feel that your wife is unfaithful and that your son is not your own."

……

Listen and listen, Dayu's food is getting darker and darker.

After hearing about being cuckolded.

Dayu's facial muscles almost twitched.

He probably shouted angrily in his heart, "What the hell are these rumors? That bastard is spreading rumors? I can't cut you to death!"

Pay attention to Dayu's strange face.

The network barrage exploded again.

"Fuck, host, you really dare to say it!"

"The ancient tribes, in the era of Dayu, it seems that there is no such thing as wearing a cuckold?"

"This is still the tail of the mother's society, but in the name of husband and wife, who can not be angry?"

"Host, you are playing with fire."

"Don't talk nonsense, going back to China, isn't it just to explore the secrets of ancient times? Is there anything you can't say?"

"That's right, who doesn't want to know what happened when Dayu passed through the house three times and refused to enter?"

"I didn't go home for more than ten years, and I focused on water control. I suffered from Dayu and Tu Shan."

……

Dayu wanted to justify his name, he looked dignified and gasped, as if he was about to hold a grand meeting of tribal leaders.

"The real reason was that there was an infection at the time and he couldn't enter the house."

"I'm waiting for a part of the tribe to walk the mountains, fight wild animals, and dredge the river."

"Walking in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, bleeding and pus is normal. The field is humid and the mosquitoes are rampant, which will make it difficult for the wound to heal. The rotten wound will be filled with poisonous fog, and eventually a large infection will occur."

"Outside sources of disease cannot be brought back to city-state tribes."

……

The truth is!
This truth makes many people feel worried.

It's not that you don't come into the house.

It's to protect your family.

In this primitive era, there were no later medical resources. It is conceivable how many hardships and disasters this tribe has suffered.

"Junior, be taught!" Lin Feng said sincerely and respectfully.

"About the second question."

"How to enfeoff Kyushu."

Hear this.

Many people raised their spirits and listened carefully.

After all, our civilization is extensive and profound. In the 5000-year history, not only the four major inventions and the long-standing cultural heritage, but also the vast world.

Since ancient times, we have used to call the land of China the Kyushu of Han, and it is also called the Twelve States, Zhongtu, and Shenzhou.

But many people still have a vague concept of Kyushu.

Always foolishly confused which Kyushu is?Not sure which state you are from?
Even in the era of Dayu, there were no territories for descendants, but the area was extremely vast.

There were no planes, no ships, no surveying instruments...

How did the ancients construct maps?

How to divide it on the map?
Really walking step by step, surveying and mapping step by step?

Pack again?
This is a difficult project!

Standing tall, Dayu's wise eyes stared into the distance, looking at this land of mountains and rivers, and continued:
"My water control operation started from Jizhou, all the way to control the water, and asked Yiyi to distribute rice seeds to the people and plant them in low-humidity areas to roughly balance the food supply."

"I led the people to dredge nine rivers, built embankments, repaired nine great lakes, and dug through nine mountains along the way."

"For many years of water control, I have traveled all over the country, so that I have mastered the situation of mountains and rivers in various parts of the world, the quality of the soil, and learned about various products and folk customs, so that the world is divided into Kyushu."

……

Lin Feng asked, "Da Yu, I am confused, what are the names of the Kyushu?"

"Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou."

Lin Feng asked again, "What is your original intention to divide Kyushu?"

Since it is a dialogue with the ancient great sages.

something wrong.

Feel free to ask.

This is also to help future generations understand this ancient and dusty history.

Dayu was in high spirits, his voice was like a bell, shaking the vast wilderness and said: "Nine is great, I will divide the world into nine states, and hope that my Huaxia people and descendants will be stronger."

"Each prefecture casts a big tripod to guard it, and the big tripod is painted with gods and beasts, and the nine tripods also refer to the world."

"I also hope that in the future someone will lead all the tribes and rule the world."

"Divided makes us weak, and united makes us strong. This is also the truth I realized when I united with many tribes when I was controlling the water."

"In the face of the vast mountains and wilds, the strength of the clansmen is still too weak, and they must be unified."

……

Dayu shouted.

Transmission in all directions.

Enfeoffment of Kyushu.

Not ten states, not twelve states.

It is really related to the concept of the ancients. In ancient times, among the nine numbers from one to nine, the odd number was Yang, and the even number was Yin. Among the Yang numbers, nine is the largest Yang number. It is really influenced by this thinking.

"Young man, you come from a later era. Who unified our land?" Dayu asked suddenly.

"After 2000." Lin Feng said truthfully.

Dayu's eyes widened, and his face full of vicissitudes of time was full of disbelief.

A hundred years and four generations.

Millennium forties.

In 2000, there were close to hundreds of generations.

It takes that long?There is only one Lord of China, can he unify the land of China?
Who would have thought.

It was not until 2000 years later that the first emperor of China, Megatron China, fully fulfilled Dayu's long-cherished wish.

"Sure enough, that one has appeared again."

"No matter who it is, you can't get around him. He is worthy of being an emperor through the ages."

"My Qin Shihuang's row is so horizontal."

"The man who claimed to be comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, called himself the First Emperor, definitely did not blow it out."

……

in the lens.

Lin Feng said again, "Don't worry Dayu, since the unification, although the land of Huaxia will be divided and reunited, the unification will always be the general trend."

Dayu exhaled a turbid breath, nodded and said, "Throughout the past 2000 years, the people of the tribe will still be in hardship. To rule the world is not easy. It requires courage, military strength, and financial resources..."

Dayu's vision was still higher than that of ordinary people, and he could see farther.

Lin Feng asked, "Da Yu, you are too far away from us, and many things cannot be verified. What kind of person you are, this is what future generations want to know."

Dayu asked back, "How much does that modern person know about me?"

Lin Feng replied, "I know that you use the method of "guiding mountains and controlling water", that is, using the method of dredging rather than containing water to control water."

"I know that you have created a variety of measurement tools and surveying methods, and you have also created four measurement tools of "Left guideline, right rule"."

"I know that in order to keep people from losing their way, you taught them to cut logs to make marks and point out directions, and you also created the Sifeng Bird."

"Knowing that you created the methods of carving stone and metallurgy to record."

……

Lin Feng said a lot in one breath. For this program, he forgot to sleep and eat, and read countless materials.

But these are all evolved from fairy tales.

is it real?
Even Lin Feng himself didn't know.

Dayu shook his head, and said modestly, "I did not accomplish all of what you said alone. It is the achievement of the Huaxia people. It is the joint discussion, decision-making, and implementation of all people, and it is not the work of me alone."

Subsequently.

Dayu pointed to the east and said, "There is a mountain rock in the center of the distant city-state, on which various deeds are recorded in detail. Whose achievements and names are clearly recorded on each rock."

what?
Lin Feng clicked his tongue, isn't that a place where "invention patents" are recorded?
Of course, it can also be called a place of merit.

Lin Feng tentatively asked, "Whoever invented the shoes wrapped around the feet will also be recorded on the stone wall?"

Dayu nodded and said, "This is a masterpiece made by a tribal woman with skillful hands."

Lin Feng was hesitating whether he should travel to the city-state of the Huaxia tribe and go there himself.

ancient city-state.

It is a village.

It should be a primitive area surrounded by thatched houses.

There, it is estimated that you can better understand the life of the ancients 4000 years ago.
