In Chinese mythology, the gift given to San'er is a cake.

The story of apotheosis is indeed fabricated out of thin air.

Myths and stories are actually like our current alternate histories**. In alternate history**, it is often the same historical background, taken from a certain dynasty in ancient China, but the characters in it are the author's own originals, and the plot also needs its own thinking, which requires strong literary and historical literacy. And some characters in the deification story have existed, such as the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, but they are not the immortals in our impression, they have no magic power, they are just the leaders of the human race, and they are relatively ancient.

But some of the apotheosis ** is fabricated, but it can't be said to be out of thin air, so what is it? Relying on those stories that have a part of the truth, on the basis of those stories, the human imagination is created. Many of the people in our Chinese myths and stories are related to each other, or the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and by virtue of this relationship, we can make the myths and stories have a good background and make people's imagination more comprehensive.

Moreover, the creation of myths and stories often entrusts people with some truths, such as the story of Jingwei reclamation, which contains the spirit of perseverance and never giving up. Because people are not bored to create these stories, these stories are often thought up by those who have occasional insights, and then slowly added in the process of dissemination, and finally formed a real story with a nose and eyes.

Myths and stories are also a kind of national culture, although they are all fake, but the spirit contained in them is passed down by people, and it is worthy of our descendants to learn and appreciate. The inheritance of culture is like this, learn good things, abandon some backward bad things, look at it rationally and rationally, and don't be blind.

It should be mostly made up, after all, the mythological color of the mythological story is too strong, which makes people feel too illusory and unreal.

These legends are indeed made up out of thin air. These legends are tinged with mystery and religion. It may be an emotion expressed at that time, or it may be a beautiful yearning for yourself.

Some of these legends are made up, some are adapted, and some actually exist, and we can't generalize.

In fact, I think most of the myths and stories are made up by people, and most of them do not exist, but people will be based on real life, in order to reflect people's yearning for a better life.

Because myths and stories are a kind of folk literature, but some of these myths are made up out of thin air, and some are adapted from facts.

I think most of it is based on real events, and then adds a lot of exaggerated mysteries to make up mythological stories.

In ancient times, some myths and stories were to stabilize the imperial power, and in the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that heaven and man sensed, so most of them were imagined to consolidate their own rights.

I don't think it's all made up, there will be some that are real, after all, there is no wind and no waves, and legends must have a basis before they can be created.

A lot of myths and stories are based on some historical figures, and they certainly don't just make things out of thin air, and myths and stories are generally more inspiring.

Nothing can exist completely in the air, although the legends are all divorced from reality, but they are also the best in life, just a spread of ten or hundred, the more it is spread, the more miraculous.

Mythological stories.

It is a work of human fantasy prose.

Myths and stories are a type of folk literature. The collective oral creation of the people of ancient times. Including the stories of gods and ghosts and the heroic legends of gods (ghosts).

It is a kind of spiritual sustenance, human yearning and the embodiment of religion, and has a profound impact on the literature and art of later generations.

As a form of folk literature, mythology is a highly fantastical story created by the people of ancient times that reflects the natural world, the relationship between man and nature, and social forms.

Mythology is a separate subject. Mythology is the earliest literary genre. Literary genres are divided into:

Myths, epics, fables, fairy tales, lyric poems, short stories, novellas, novellas, novels, tragedies, comedies, dramas, lyrical essays, essays, reportage, narratives, discussions, etc.

The background of literary creation is also a historical reference and origin

For example, Journey to the West, Sou Shen and so on

The traditional myths of various ethnic groups will have a profound impact on the literary creation of the language department. The story of the Chinese nation should be based on the story in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

General idiom stories, like Jingwei reclamation and the like.

Basic characteristics of mythology:

1. Myths are all imaginary or fantastical;

2. Myth is the explanation and explanation of natural or social phenomena observed or experienced by ancient human beings, but it has been processed by "fantasy" and has become an imaginary "deified" of real life;

3. Mythology reflects the desire of ancient humans to interpret nature (or society) and to conquer it;

4. Mythology can only arise in prehistoric antiquity, and it is the product of an era when human beings were not yet capable of providing realistic explanations for natural and social phenomena.

Briefly describe the difference between myths and legends in ancient China:

1. Myths predate legends;

2. Myth is the story prototype of the legend, and the legend is the social historicization of the myth;

3. Myths have obvious irrational supernatural overtones, while legends contain principles of human behavior.

On the influence of ancient Chinese mythology on the development of literature in later generations.

1. The artistic rules of mythology suggest the direction for the development of literature in later generations. The theme of life created by mythology has in fact become the mainstream of the development of Chinese literature. The emotional, imagery, and imaginative characteristics of mythology have also greatly influenced the development of literature in later generations.

2. The rich and colorful mythological works have become an inexhaustible source of themes for later generations of literary creation. Such as: Qu Yuan's Chu Ci, Zhuangzi prose, Li Bai's poetry, etc.; Ming and Qing dynasties, such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods" and so on.

Mythology is the ancient people's yearning for a better life.

Greek mythology is the earliest oral folklore story in Europe, reflecting the history of ancient Greece from the 11th century BC to the 9th century BC, commonly known as the "Homeric Age", and celebrating the wisdom and creativity of the ancient Greek people. It brings people to the ancient civilization of the Aegean Sea region surrounded by archipelagos and intertwined land and sea with rich imagination and wonderful and vivid plots.

Greek mythology mainly consists of stories of gods and legends of heroes. The story of God includes the opening of heaven and earth, the creation of God, the genealogy of God, the activities of God, and the origin of mankind. In Greek mythology, the gods are divided into old gods and new gods, the old gods are represented by Gaia and Ouranos, and the new gods are the Olympian gods (twelve main gods, etc.) dominated by Zeus.

Most of the heroes of Greek mythology were demigods born of gods and mortal women. They all have bumpy experiences and extraordinary achievements. The legends of heroes such as Perseus, Hercules, Iason, Orpheus, Theseus, Achilles, etc., form an important part of Greek mythology.

First recommendation: "Greek Myths and Legends": [De] Sweib Written by Chu Tunan Translated by Chu Tunan, People's Literature Publishing House, 2003

Reason: People's Literature is a new edition of an old book, which has been reprinted many times and is widely popular. The book is characterized by a wide range of materials, from a variety of different Greek literature to organize and arrange the messy, complex, contradictory Greek myths and legends, so that the front and back are coherent, forming a relatively complete system of the front and back.

Chu Tunan's translation is clear and clear, and his skills are profound. There are dozens of line drawings by the English painter Philakman, and a large number of biographies of the characters (both Chinese and Chinese) are attached to the back of the book. It can be said that this book is the most classic translation of Greek mythology in China.

Rest: "Greek Myths and Stories": [De] Schwab, Liu Chaozhi, Ai Ying, Translation, Religious Culture Publishing House, 1996

Reason: If you really can't buy the version of the first recommendation above, then this version can also be viewed. The style is not the same as the above version, it is simpler, and the character profile is not rich. It is still helpful for those who are just a briefing.

Greek Mythology: [Russian] Kuhn, translated by Zhu Zhishun, Shanghai Translation Publishing House, 2006

Reason: Compared with Sweeb's work, Kuhn's work is more complete and systematic in the analysis of the entire divine composition. But the vividness of the writing is a little lacking. And there are not many illustrations, and the character introduction is not as rich as the former.

Greek Mythology: [Greek] Apollodorus, Zhou Zuoren, Translation, China International Translation and Publishing Company, 1999

Reason: This book is a translation by Mr. Zhou Zuoren 40 years ago. It is the first Greek Mythology translated from Greek, and it is also the only Greek Mythology written by the Greeks in the world. Mr. Zhou Zuoren has done a lot of research work before and during the translation, and has written annotations on the research results in beautiful prose style and attached them to the back of the volume.

But I haven't read it carefully, so I'm not impressed, and I can't make a more specific review. And compared to the previous ones, this version seems to be a little less common on the market, and I don't know if you can buy it.
