How did people come to be, what are the myths and stories

Nuwa made people out of the soil. In the Bible, it was God who created Adam and Eve before there were human beings.

Introduction: Everyone has heard a lot of stories since they were young, some listening to their elders explain and some listening to the teachers at school. In many textbooks, there are many mythological stories, and they have always accompanied everyone's growth, so how did the so-called mythological stories come about? <>

Many myths and stories are very surprising when you listen to them, what kind of people can come up with such stories, and they are very exciting. For example, Kuafu's pursuit of the sun, Nuwa's creation of man, and Jingwei's reclamation of the sea, these myths and stories have a very important impact on our childhood. And these myths and stories are precisely because of people's rich imagination and associations through some things in life.

For example, Kuafu chases the sun, and Pangu opens the sky.

These myths are also because people see the polarization of heaven and earth, and they think that someone has used tools to separate heaven and earth, so that there is such a big gap between heaven and earth. However, it is precisely because of people's rich imagination that these myths and stories have added a lot of color to our lives. <>

Many myths and stories have not been recorded in history books for a long time, but these myths are still passed down to modern times, and no one can even inquire about the time of these myths. However, it is precisely because these mythological stories are very classic and very interesting that they can be passed down by word of mouth, from a very early period to the present, and still let many people know about this story. However, it is precisely because of the existence of these myths and stories that they can reflect how rich the imagination of ancient people was.

Myths and stories are unique in China. And these myths and stories only exist in China, and they are a very important special treasure that has been handed down from a very early time. There are mythological stories in China, and Greek myths abroad.

Every country has its own culture, and mythology is a special form of culture that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and it is also worthy of being passed on to future generations.

The so-called myths and stories are all handed down from the people, and most of them are some beautiful stories made by the people to resist the dark forces.

The so-called myths and stories are actually stories that have not been studied and fabricated to meet the needs of production.

In fact, it should be the ancients who said it to coax children, and then slowly spread it into a mythical story.

Myths and stories include: Kuafu chasing the sun, Nuwa mending the sky, Pangu opening the world, Chang'e running to the moon, Houyi shooting the sun, Jingwei reclamation, Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, Dayu controlling the water, Nezha making the sea, the cowherd and the weaver girl, Meng Jiangnu crying the Great Wall, etc. Myths and stories are a type of folk literature that, depending on the nature of the society at the time, was created orally collectively by the people of ancient times.

1. Praise the father and chase the sun.

Legend has it that in the time of the Yellow Emperor, there was a leader of the Kuafu clan. He is also like us when we were children, he is a very curious baby, looking at the sun, he always thinks** where does this sun come from? To give an answer to this question, he walked towards the sun, but no matter how much he chased and chased him, he could not catch up, until at last he drank the water of the Yellow River and the Wei River, and died of thirst on the edge of Daze.

2. Jingwei reclamation.

Legend has it that Jingwei was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, and one day, when she was traveling to the East China Sea, she accidentally drowned in the East China Sea. Because of his innocent death, Jingwei had a deep resentment in his heart, so he often took wood and stones from the West Mountain and threw them in the East China Sea, wanting to fill in the East China Sea to avenge his innocent death.

3. Hou Yi shoots the sun.

In ancient times, there was a severe drought in the land. The heat scorched the forest, dried the earth, and dried the seedlings and trees. It turned out that Dijun and Xihe had 10 children, all of whom were the sun, and they lived in the OOC, and there was a big tree in the sea called Fuso.

The 10 suns slept under the branches, and took turns running out to be on duty in the sky, shining on the earth. But sometimes, they come out together and bring disaster to humanity. In order to save mankind, Hou Yi stretched his bow and arrows and shot at the 9 suns.

I saw a burst of fireball in the sky, and a three-legged crow fell. In the end, only one sun was left in the sky.

Myths and stories include Kuafu's chasing the sun, Nuwa mending the sky, Pangu opening the world, Chang'e running to the moon, Houyi shooting the sun, Jingwei reclamation, and Shennong tasting a hundred herbs.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas was written by the Chu people from the early Warring States period to the early Han Dynasty, and was collated and collated by Liu Xiang and Liu Xin father and son in the Han Dynasty. The book records the relatively ancient myth of Nuwa, which is called "Nuwa's intestines". "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West" clouds:

There are ten gods, named Nuwa's intestines, turned into gods, in the vast wilderness, and everywhere. Guo Pu commented that Nuwa's intestines are the gods incarnated by Nuwa's belly. "Nuwa's Intestines" depicts the myth of Nuwa's incarnation, and Nuwa's godhead is the creator god.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the two yang numbers overlap each other, so it is called "Chongyang", because nine is a very auspicious number in ancient times, so the day of the Double Ninth Festival is naturally a very good day. Therefore, in ancient times, the folk had the customs of climbing high to pray for blessings during the Double Ninth Festival, appreciating chrysanthemums in autumn, wearing dogwoods, worshipping gods and ancestors, and drinking feasts and praying for longevity. As a relatively old traditional festival in China, the Double Ninth Festival originated in ancient times, mainly because of people's worship of celestial phenomena at that time.

The Double Ninth Festival officially began to be known to everyone in the Western Han Dynasty.

It's people's exploration of the unknown. If you were uneducated, and it rained and thundered, what would you think...

There are two kinds of explanatory myths and institutional myths.

1How did the heavens and the earth come about, Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, and Nuwa created people. This is the explanatory myth.

2. Why do you eat zongzi and row dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival in May? Why you can't dry the clothes of small children at night, this is the institutional myth.

Myths were created to explain some natural phenomena and social custom systems.

"Where does the myth end? And where did history begin? This is the conundrum that Claude Lévi-Strauss, a master of structural anthropology, has set for himself.

Mythology begins in itself, and the history that derives from it is precisely the end of itself. When the Son of Heaven declared himself the "Son of Heaven", he both ended the myth of Heaven and opened the door from clan society to political society. Presumably, in the myth of the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", the concept of heroes is often the basis for the legitimacy of "heaven", while in oral folk narratives, the legends of the people continue to express various memories of the "beginning of chaos" (especially the constant reaffirmation of the decisiveness of fertility and gender relations).

Then, the relationship between the two is expressed through the "ceremonial order" of ancient Chinese history. In order for legitimacy to have content and therefore acceptance, early civilizations had to make their own myths based on the legends of the people, so that the idea of "heaven" rose from the legend of the people and overrode the legend of the people. In this way, ancient Chinese mythology has formed a kind of "difference between upper and lower".

I think that Chinese myths and legends are the crystallization of human imagination, and they are myths and legends that have been accumulated and passed down by human beings through countless generations of unexplained phenomena in nature, and finally formed a certain system. Chinese mythology has the simple style of the working people, and the romantic atmosphere of the literati, which originates from the best wishes of the people at the bottom, such as the Jade Emperor is the positive fruit of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues.

The working people of ancient times came up with it based on certain phenomena.

Some fantastical phenomena - like chatting

The working people of ancient times came up with it based on certain phenomena.

compiled, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but it has a little bit to do with actual life. By extension.

Myths were adapted by ancient peoples based on ancient customs and legends.

It is an explanation of the mysterious power of nature, or an imaginary of ancient people to commemorate something meaningful or some great person.

Thus the myth was born!

Scholars and writers of all dynasties and generations in Chinese history imagined!

It has been handed down from the working life of the vast number of ordinary people.

Can you tell which myth it is? Generally, Chinese myths and stories are beautiful legends with good meanings, and most of the myths and stories are passed down from each other, and no one knows its beginning.

In ancient times, science and technology were very underdeveloped, and the people had no reasonable scientific explanation for some phenomena, and could only construct the generation of this phenomenon through some associations.

The ancients placed their emotions on them and turned the oppression in their hearts into imagination.
