Due to the limitation of ancient scientific level, this kind of solar eclipse scene is often mistaken for an ominous sign. According to the ancients' understanding, the solar eclipse happened because God would intervene in the world and warn the king that "he would not eat the sun and the moon or be enemies with the stars", which was a "peaceful and prosperous time". Whenever an eclipse occurs, the ancients will knock on the door and drum, praying for the sun's final contact as soon as possible.
Extended data:
In ancient times, people did not master the laws of nature. Once there is a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse, people will be terrified. Some people say that' Tianlong' is competing with the sun and the moon. Some people say that this is the' Tiangou' who wants to eat the moon; Others say that this is the' wild sun' eating the' home sun' and so on, and all kinds of superstitions are everywhere.
In fact, the moon goes around the earth and the earth goes around the sun. The sun is a huge light source, and neither the moon nor the earth shines. Under the irradiation of the sun, there is a long shadow behind the earth and the moon, and the solar eclipse occurs in such a shadow.
