Let's talk about the legends and records of China giants. There have been many records of giant deeds in China's ancient classic Shan Hai Jing. One of the most famous is Kuafu's Kuafu Daily. According to legend, Kuafu people are good at running and have boundless strength, and they can move mountains and fill the sea. In ancient times, Kuafu people once helped the Chiyou tribe against the Huangdi tribe, and were finally defeated by Huangdi.
Another record is the cyclops family near Altai Mountain in Xinjiang. In Shan Hai Jing, they are called ghost families. These cyclops are ferocious and eat human flesh. They usually take humans alive and take them back to the village to eat. It is said that as long as there is a village where cyclops existed, there must be bones everywhere in the village. Interestingly, modern scholars from China and the Soviet Union did find a large number of cyclops murals in Altai Mountain, Xinjiang. It seems that this is not the nonsense of Shan Hai Jing.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world was in chaos, and a giant in Wuwei, Anhui Province took the opportunity to attack the surrounding villages. They broke into villages, killed or drove away men, and took food and women. Because they are giants with great strength, ordinary people are not their opponents when using cold weapons in hand-to-hand combat. Anhui Wuwei was once controlled by giants, and ordinary farmers fled. After many years, ordinary villagers finally discovered the defects of the giant. They are too big and slow to move, so it is difficult to avoid bows and arrows and throw stones.
As a result, many ordinary villagers joined forces to attack the villages occupied by giants. Instead of fighting hand-to-hand with giants, they shoot arrows from a distance and throw stones with slings. This move really worked. Most of the giants suffered heavy casualties, and the rest fled in despair and disappeared. The villagers leveled several villages of the giant and rescued the robbed woman.
If the above giant deeds are too old and distorted for you, then the giants recorded in the official history should exist. The original text of the first volume of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The First Discipline of Emperor Guangwu: "At the beginning, Wang Mang recruited hundreds of people who could be military officers from 63 countries and thought he was a military attache; Choose to practice martial cymbals, recruit brave men, and carry the flag for thousands of miles. Sometimes the Big Mac is long, ten feet long and ten yards big, thinking it is the captain of the base; It also drives away wild animals, tigers, leopards and rhinos to cheer for martial arts. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there has been nothing. Han Chi 1 Zhang =23 1cm But it is said that the giant is actually more than three meters high and is a war machine on the battlefield.
