Why are there no more myths and legends after the Qin Dynasty, but so many before the Xia, Shang and

Every country has its own myths and stories

First of all, in the Xia Shang Zhou and even before, most people believed in myths, myths to put it in the vernacular, that is, it was equivalent to having no history, no basis, and created by people's own imagination, whether it was Nuwa mending the sky, or Jingwei reclamation, or Meng Jiangnu crying the Great Wall and so on. They really believe in these stories, and they pass them on to their ancestors for generations to come. This may be one of the reasons why later generations rarely create mythological stories.

Because there are a lot of myths and stories, people are already spiritually satisfied. <>

I think it's because people are better educated, and then they don't believe in myths anymore, but they believe in history more, and history speaks in the vernacular, which is something with evidence, and history is different from mythology, that is, there is one more evidence. At this time, people prefer to speak with facts, rather than believing in those ethereal things, and prefer to be down-to-earth. Therefore, it is natural that there will be relatively few people who create myths.

At that time, due to the lack of sufficient historical records of the history of antiquity, there was only a relatively complete "Historical Records" for people to study, but there was a lack of sufficient unearthed artifacts and other evidence to prove what that era should have been. People often give them some mysterious power when they don't know about it. As a result, there are many stories about the gods and monsters at that time, which have been passed down to this day.

Until the Qing Dynasty, the last dynasty of China, it was a feudal society. Along with this main line, the process of the first-class centralized system from the beginning to the gradual strengthening of the system, and finally reached its peak, and then collapsed.

Because the cultural civilization before the Xia, Shang and Zhou was very backward, many things could not be solved, and they could only be explained by myths and legends.

In the familiar history, the history of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty is relatively clear, but the Xia Dynasty is relatively vague, because after the fall of the Xia Dynasty and the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, there was a cultural fault, so we currently know very little about the history of the Xia Dynasty, not to mention the ancient period before the Xia Dynasty, the only way to obtain it is the myths and legends left to the world since the Shang Dynasty.

Because of the history before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, we don't particularly understand that ancient people wrote stories that were long ago when they wrote them, so these mythological characters all happened before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the mythological characters were all made up by people.

Because there had been wars before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and people wanted to survive, they would do their best to do something.

Mainly from film and television works, or stories of myths and legends, people have an understanding of mythological characters. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were many historical books about myths, which allowed people to understand the stories of myths and legends.

No one knows where these mythological figures come from, because these mythological figures are rarely recorded in history, and they may have been made up by the ancients.
