There is a saying that the gods entrusted Prometheus and his brother Bemis with the task of creating human beings. Prometheus' name means "think first", and his wisdom even surpasses that of the gods, while Bemis means "know later and feel later". He is always impulsive and impetuous, and often regrets after doing it.
Before the creation of human beings, Bemis endowed animals with advantages such as physical strength, speed and courage, as well as feathers, fur, wings and hard shells. When he reached the human race, he didn't have the same advantage. Humans have neither auxiliary covers nor advantages comparable to animals.
He regretted it again and asked Prometheus for help. So Prometheus undertook the creation work, and he came up with a good way to make human beings superior to animals. He made the appearance of human beings as noble as God, borrowed a little fire from the sun in heaven, lit a torch and brought it to the world, becoming the best self-defense thing for human beings, more useful than fur, physical strength, speed and courage.
"Humans have kindling,
You can acquire various artistic abilities. "
The legend of human origin in China
Legend 1: Nuwa is crouching, with a snake's head, shoveling earth for people and practicing five-color stones to make up the sky.
Legend 2: Nuwa is the matriarch who unified the tribes after falling. Later, she managed floods and advocated successful reproduction, so she was regarded as the mother of mankind and the god of heaven by mythology.
Legend 3: Pangu created the world. Heaven and earth are chaotic, and Pangu is in it. Later, the sky grew ten feet higher, the earth grew ten feet higher, and Pangu grew ten feet. In the long run, Pangu grew taller and taller, until he was dying, his left eye turned into the sun, his right eye into the moon, blood into rivers, muscles into fields, hair into stars, fur into vegetation, lice and insects into people.
For a long time, the poor areas in Yalong River valley in Shannan area of Tibet have mild climate, high mountains and dense forests. There is a macaque living on the mountain. Later, this macaque married Yan Rogue and gave birth to six young macaques. The old monkey let them live in a forest full of fruits. Three years later, when the old monkey went to see it again, it had already multiplied to more than 500. Because of the lack of food, some fight with each other, scratching their faces and pulling off their ears. The monkey is hungry and purrs. Seeing the old monkey coming, he came around and shouted, "What can we eat? ? "Raise your hand to ask each other, it's up shit creek. Seeing this, the old monkey couldn't bear it. So he took them to a hillside full of wild grains and pointed out to the monkeys, "Eat this!" " "Since then, monkeys have eaten wild food that has not been planted, their hair has gradually become shorter, their tails have gradually disappeared, and they can talk again in the future, thus evolving into humans.
Pangu created the world and made the sun, moon, stars, mountains and vegetation with his body. The polluted air remaining between heaven and earth has gradually turned into insects, fish, birds and beasts, adding vitality to this lifeless world.
At this time, there was a goddess, Nu Wa, walking on the vast Yuan Ye. She looked around, the mountains were rolling, the rivers were running, the jungle was dense, the vegetation was in full bloom, birds were flying in the sky, animals were running on the ground, fish were playing in the water, and insects were jumping in the grass. It is said that the world is also beautifully decorated. But she always feels a kind of unspeakable loneliness. The more she watched it, the more bored she became, and her loneliness became stronger and stronger. Even she can't figure out why.
Tell Shan Ye about her irritability, and Shan Ye can't understand her at all; Insects, fish, birds and animals pour out their worries, how can they understand her distress? She sat slumped by the pond, staring at her own shadow in the pond. Suddenly a leaf fell into the pool, and a small ripple appeared on the still water, which made her shadow shake slightly. She suddenly felt that the knot in her heart was untied, yes! Why does she have that kind of unspeakable loneliness? It turns out that the world lacks a creature like her.
Thinking of this, she immediately dug some dirt by the pool, filled it with water, and pinched it according to her own shadow.
Pinch, pinch, pinch into a small thing, similar in appearance to Nu Wa, but also with five senses, two hands and two feet. After kneading, I put it on the ground and actually came back to life. When Nu Wa saw it, she was filled with joy, and then she squeezed a handful. She called these little things "people"
These "people" are created in the image of God, and their heroic behavior is naturally different from other creatures. They are actually chirping like Nu Wa. They cheered around Nu Wa for a while and slowly separated.
Nu Wa's lonely heart suddenly warmed up. She wanted to make the world lively and let the people created by herself be everywhere, so she kept working and pinched one after another. But after all, the world is too big. After working for a long time, her hands are numb, and the little people squeezed out are still rare on earth. She didn't think it would work, so she broke a vine from nearby, plunged into the mire and threw it on the ground with dirt. As a result, the little mud became a villain, which was similar to the shape made by hand and much faster. When Nu Wa saw that the new method worked, she spilled more and more, and people were everywhere.
Nu Wa created many people on the earth. Her heart was happy and her loneliness was swept away. She feels very tired, so she needs to have a rest, walk around and see how those people live.
One day, she went to a place and saw that it was sparsely populated. This is very strange. She leaned over to examine it carefully. She saw many little people lying on the ground, motionless. She fiddled with her hand, but nothing happened. It turns out that this is the villain she used to be. By this time, her hair had turned white and she was dead.
Nu Wa was secretly worried when she saw this situation. She thinks that she has worked hard to make people, but people are constantly aging and dying. At this rate, if there are always people in the world, why not keep making them? This is never the way.
As a result, Nu Wa refers to the way that everything in the world is passed down from generation to generation, so that human men and women can cooperate to reproduce. Because the world is a creature that imitates God and cannot be equal to animals, she established a marriage system to distinguish it from promiscuity between animals. Since then, the world has regarded Nu Wa as a "divine medium".
