How was the myth system of China established? It seems that it is not just a journey to the west.

From The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Romance of Shen Feng, The Spring and Autumn Annals of Lushi, Historical Records, Soupao and so on, there are more than The Journey to the West.

First of all, there was no special, authoritative and systematic arrangement and writing of ancient myths in China in ancient times. All myths and legends come from various notes, poems, essays, personal writings and so on, including The Book of Songs, Songs of the South, Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zuo Zhuan, Mandarin, Zhuangzi, Mozi, Everything is done wrong, Lv Chunqiu and Huainan. I can easily list more than a dozen sayings of Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which are contradictory and have a more chaotic pedigree. If I tell them in different categories here, I will feel bored myself, and you will definitely shout that the user experience is too bad. Therefore, what I describe here is an ancient myth system based on the principles of mainstream, majority and non-contradiction. I will try my best to explain the source, be reasonable and well-founded, challenge the inherent impression of most people, and discuss it clearly. First of all, the text: there are mythical times and heroic times in ancient Greek mythology. In fact, ancient myths in China can also be divided in this way. Taking Emperor Yao as the dividing line can be called the mythical era before. The main line of the story is the creation of the world, the creation of man, the three wars of three emperors and five emperors, monsters and their disputes. After Emperor Yao, it can be called a heroic era. Mainly about the heroic deeds and tribal disputes of Yi and Yu. The black-bellied male emperor Yao is the key to connecting the two eras. Let's start with the main story of the mythical era: heaven and earth began with chaos (singularity? ), in which a god was born, and later called Pangu. What was Pangu like? "The king of Pangu, the snake with the dragon head, hisses as wind and rain, blows as lightning, and closes its eyes at night." Note 1 A snake with a dragon head, that is, a dragon without claws, then he opened a chaotic world, driving ten feet every day for n years, until the world grew into nine Wan Li, Pangu died, his body turned into the earth, his eyes turned into the sun and the moon, and his blood turned into rivers. Note 2 After the death of Pangu, the innate chaos that gave birth to Pangu produced the highest god in ancient China mythology-the God of Heaven. The more common name is Tiandi, also known as Taiyi, Tiandi and so on. Matteo Ricci borrowed this name when he translated Jehovah and translated it into God. In the state of Chu, Haotian God was called the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. In ancient books, the god of heaven is what people often say. Heaven god has no obvious personality, and should be an all-knowing and all-powerful god, not a personality god. Of course, if you say that the God in the sky is the bodhi old zu of Hong Jun, I can't help it. Taiyi and Hongjun have similar meanings. Candle dragon inherited Pangu's function of "opening eyes during the day and closing eyes at night". Candle dragon, who lives in Zhongshan, is called Zhongshan God. He is a snake with a human face, and obviously has a dragon head relationship with Pangu, and the other one has a relationship with Pangu is Raytheon who lives in Razer. Thor is very important, you must remember. Note 3 After the death of Pangu, the essence turned into human beings, which opened the era of five clans, namely (in chronological order) the Chao clan, the Suiren clan, the Fu clan, the Nuwa clan and the Shennong clan. You Chao taught people to build houses to avoid wild animals, and Sui Ren taught people to drill wood for fire and tie ropes. They were all elected leaders and started the rule of their own tribe, and they were called saints and holy kings. Note 4, it should be clear here that when I use my surname followed by my surname, I mean that the whole tribe is called XXX. In ancient times, the surname was the symbol of a big tribe, and the surname was the symbol of a branch tribe with merit or aristocratic status that was different from the surname. Fuxi, Nu Wa and Shennong are legendary Huang San among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. How did Huang San come from? It is said that during the reign of Sui people, there was a sister named Feng in Hua Xushi tribe. Just call her Hua Xu. She went to play Razer and saw a huge footprint. Yes, it was left by the above-mentioned big man who lived in Razer, so she stepped on it leisurely. As we all know, the two children born in Note 6 are Fuxi and Nuwa. Of course, it is a question worth pondering why the descendants of Thor are human like the nine-yin candle. (what? Actually, the footprints are blurred, right? There are no feet in the candle. Fuxi, who got the Book of Hutuluo, deduced the congenital sixteen hexagrams and worked out the secret. The Emperor of Heaven named it Five Gods, that is, one of the Five Emperors. He is in charge of the East, belongs to the wood, and is called Di Qing and Tai Hao. His wind name is Fu Tribe, which is the origin of the Chinese nation. Fuxi and Nu Wa, as brother and sister, had intercourse in Kunlun Mountain, which gave birth to human beings. Hey, aren't humans pregnant with Pangu Jing? I chew differently. It is estimated that the wave generated by Pangu's essence is said in Huangdi Neijing. "People who smell the ancient times are 100 years old in the Spring and Autumn Period, but they are immortal." The ancients in the village invented the practice of farming and later moved to Kunlun in the west and Penglai in the east. People nowadays are descendants of Fuxi Nuwa. Whether Fuxi and Nu Wa were driven out of the Garden of Eden by the Heaven Emperor because of this incident is also a question worthy of study. Hey, didn't Nu Wa make people out of clay? This statement only exists in Custom Tong, which is an isolated case and will not be adopted. In most documents and unearthed cultural relics, it is confirmed that Fuxi and Nu Wa combined to become the ancestors of human beings. The statement that people are made of clay should be the same as my mother said that you picked it up in the garbage when you were a child. How can you talk nonsense everywhere? After the Nuwa tribe took over from Fuxi tribe, there was a man named Shennong in the popular tribe. He tasted all kinds of herbs, taught people to plant and cure diseases, took over the rule of Nuwa tribe and created the rule of Shennong. Shennong and Yan Di are actually two people, and later generations often mistake them for one person, which simply doesn't make sense. It's just that Yan Di comes from Shennong tribe. Historical records have hinted: "At the time of Xuanyuan, Shennong declined. ..... Fighting Emperor Yan in the Wild of Han Spring. Three wars, and then get its ambition. " The management of the descendants of Shennong declined, and Emperor Yan and Chiyou were the enemies of the Yellow Emperor. "Historical Records Guan Chan" clearly points out that Shennong and Yan Di are two people: "Shennong Guan Taishan, Zen Cloud; Emperor Yan sealed Mount Tai, and Zen Cloud; " Zhuang Yu said that Shennong didn't mean to harm each other, and Shu Huace said that Shennong "ruled without punishment, and Jia Bing couldn't afford to be king" and "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes of Ling, and the princes returned salt to Xuanyuan". Emperor Yan obviously does not meet the requirements. "Shiben" is the first document to write "Yandi Shennong", which means Yandi came from Shennong tribe, not Yandi was Shennong. Then came the Five Emperors period. Who are the five emperors? Here, we use the saying in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: in the east, there is Tai Hao Fuxi, in the middle, there is the Yellow Emperor-Xuanyuan, in the north-Zhuan Xu, in the south-Yan Di, and in the west-Shao Hao Xiao Xuan.
