Chapter 83: Two Thoughts on the Classic of Mountains and Seas

  Chapter 83 Two thoughts on Shan Hai Jing

  The vegetarian monk asked me to interpret Kun, I just want to say that there is no Kun in Shan Hai Jing...

   However, some people have verified that Zhuangzi's description of Kunpeng was born out of Yu Qiang, the **** of the north in Shan Hai Jing.

  This name may not be familiar to most people, but he is also called Xuan Ming.

  "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun": "In the north, water is also, its emperor Zhuanxu, and his assistant Xuanming, hold power and rule winter."

  This refers to Yu Qiang, who assists Zhuanxu, which is equivalent to Yinglong to the Yellow Emperor.

  Because Zhuangzi wrote: Yu Qiang in the north, with black body and hands and feet, rides two dragons.

  The ancient characters in black characters are similar to the characters for fish. Some people think that there may be mistakes in copying. In fact, Zhuangzi wanted to say that the body of a fish has two feet and two dragons.

  Yu Qiang, in the Shan Hai Jing, has a human face and a bird body, and is the **** of the sea in the north.

  So some people analyzed that Yu Qiang has two forms of bird body and fish body, and is also the **** of the sea and the **** of wind.

  So, the saying that Kunpeng is actually the God of the North Sea Xuanming came out.

  I personally don't believe in this at all, it's a forced relationship.

  Xuan Ming is mainly described in two places in the Shan Hai Jing.

  "Shan Hai Jing Hai Bei Jing": Yu Qiang in the north, with a human face and a bird body, and two green snakes. Practice two green snakes.

  "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing": There is a country with Dan'er, Ren's surname is Yu Haozi, and he eats valleys. In the Zhu of the North Sea, there is a **** with a human face and a bird body, two green snakes Er and two red snakes named Yu Qiang.

   Oh, this comparison brings out contradictions.

  In general, the two descriptions are similar, but one says that two green snakes were trampled, and the other says that two red snakes were trampled.

  The most embarrassing thing is "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing" and it is written: In the Zhu of the East China Sea, there is a **** with a human face and a bird body, two yellow snakes in Er, and two yellow snakes in Jian, named Yu. The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Yu, and Yu gave birth to Yujing. Yu Jing is located in the North Sea, and Yu is located in the East Sea. He is the only sea god.

  The yellow snake is also here.

   Among them, Yu is Yu Hao, and Yu Jing is Yu Jiang, that is, Yu Qiang.

   This is a problem of variant characters, because the characters are constantly changing, and Shan Hai Jing was written by different people in different periods.

  I agree, but I don’t think it’s Huang Disheng’s Yu name

  Because the Hai Nei Jing wrote: ‘The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Luo Ming, Luo Ming gave birth to a white horse, and the white horse was for Gun. Emperor Jun gave birth to Yuhao, Yuhao gave birth to Yinliang, and Yinliang gave birth to Panyu. This is the beginning of a boat. '

   This contradicts the Da Huang Jing.

  There must be a falsehood between the two, but some people with a heart in order to completely erase the oriental gods of Dijun transferred some existences that originally belonged to Dijun to the Yellow Emperor.

  The domestic classics have been deleted the most, especially the domestic east classic, which is basically deleted. In the remaining versions, the domestic east classic has only about a hundred characters. The shortest in the entire Shan Hai Jing.

  It must have recorded the history that book repairers cannot tolerate, and it is probably the one that Liu Xin targeted most.

  Yellow Emperor is the winner, and future generations will naturally change the book to him, so I tend to say that Emperor Jun Shengyu is the truth.

  Especially in the section in the Great Wilderness Eastern Classic, only the first half of the sentence is meaningful, starting with 'Huangdi Shengyu', the rest is complete nonsense, almost a summary of the two sections of the Overseas Northern Classic and the Great Wilderness Northern Classic.

  The earliest Shan Hai Jing had pictures, and the earliest author wrote notes for it, and that comment was the beginning of Shan Hai Jing.

  Afterwards, some people got the pictures one after another and filled in the notes, which formed the Shan Hai Jing. Until now, there are only words left and no pictures.

  For example, the "Overseas South Classic" wrote: Dishan, Emperor Yao was buried in Yang, and Emperor Ku was buried in Yin. There are Xiong, 罴, Wenhu, Qu, Leopard, Lizhu, and Shirou; Yuyan and King Wen are all buried there. One is Tangshan. One is called Yuanyouxiong, 罴, Wenhu, 蜼, Leopard, Lizhu, 鸱久, Shirou, and 虖交.

   This is obvious, after all, King Wen was already from the late Shang and early Zhou Dynasties.

  The earliest people who can tell that King Wen was buried here can only be people from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

  So some people say that the Book of Mountains and Seas was written by people in the Zhou Dynasty, or even in the Warring States Period during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

  I want to say that the first one to start writing is definitely earlier than this, and much earlier, why say it later.

  Speaking of this paragraph alone, it is obvious that 'Yuyan and King Wen were buried in their places...' were all added later.

  It was originally a map of mountains and seas, and people before the Xia Dynasty had already written some text on the map. In the place of Dishan, only the words "Li Zhu, Shi Rou" disappeared.

  Wen Wang, the early authors did not know him at all.

  But because the map of mountains and seas and the classic of mountains and seas are handed down one after another, and there are always new generations to fill in and understand according to the map.

  That's why there are texts that obviously feel repetitive and discussed later, even in the same format.

  A nobleman from the Western Zhou Dynasty looked at Di Shan on the picture, researched it and said: Eh? Isn't this Tangshan?

  So I wrote my own note: King Wen was also buried here, and now it is called Tangshan...

  Then the animals in the mountains are also listed. Among them, most of the animals listed are repeated, and there are only two more animals than the first half.

  This is a typical description of two different eras written by people of two different eras on the same mountain.

  The same situation has appeared in several scriptures, for example, there is a place where it is written that Cheng Tang defeated Xia Jie.

  The people who wrote these words are definitely not the first batch of authors.

  I call it the second generation of authors. The second generation of these people is not bad. They are at least imitating the writing style of the early authors of Shan Hai Jing.

   Unlike the third-generation authors, who were probably from the Warring States Period and Qin and Han Dynasties, they directly added their own imaginations, artistically processed some things, and imposed subjective conjectures.

  The phrase "Kuafu does not know what one can do" was added by the third generation of authors.

  Thanks to the existing Shan Hai Jing, there are still such calm words written by the first batch of authors as "Kua Fu and Ri Zhu Zou".

   At this point, some people may say that the earliest Shan Hai Jing only had pictures and no words, which were added later.

  I want to say, if there are only pictures, who can write the Classic of Mountains and Seas?

   The appearance can be written on the picture, but what about the voice? How did later generations know the call? What's the name of another mountain? Can this be known just by looking at the picture?

  So the person who drew the picture, at least at the same time, someone wrote the text with the picture.

  In short, in ancient times, someone drew pictures and annotated a few words, maybe very few, but there must be.

   That batch of text is the most calm and concise.

  Afterwards, people from the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties summed it up, and people from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States summed it up again. In addition, many deleted and lost pictures, so the Shan Hai Jing is now mixed with truth and falsehood.

  Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the group of Liezi and Zhuangzi were romantic literati with particularly magnificent imagination.

  Their existence has added a lot of subjective and artistically processed texts to Shan Hai Jing.

  Back to Xuanming.

  In fact, it is easy to explain. Yu, a descendant of Emperor Jun, is the **** of the East Sea, and there is a country of Daner in the north of the Great Wilderness. They are all descendants of Yu, surnamed Ren, and eat millet.

  Yu's descendant, Yu Qiang, also known as Xuanming, became the God of the North Sea.

   Among them, Yu rides two yellow snakes. Xuanming rode two red snakes...and also rode green snakes.

  Maybe the first generation of authors wrote the red snake, and the second generation of authors looked at the picture and wondered if the color is cyan, right? So I wrote Green Snake.

  It's that simple, the paint in the picture is blackened.

  In short, all of the above is what I want to say: Shan Hai Jing has one or a group of ancient super authors. Some contradictions or repetitions were written by ordinary authors in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

  Why do I say one super and one ordinary?

  Because one is written after looking at the real thing, and the other is written after looking at the picture.

   There is an essential difference between the two.

  It's hard to imagine how the mountains and seas maps and scriptures were written.

  The earliest author seems to have traveled around the world...

  Because Shan Hai Jing is a global geography and customs.

   Regarding this point, the original text of Shan Hai Jing actually mentioned it slightly.

  "Shan Hai Jing Overseas East Classic": The emperor ordered the vertical steps, from the East Pole to the West Pole, five hundred and ninety-nine thousand eight hundred steps. Shu Hai counts with his right hand, while his left points to the north of Qingqiu. One is called Yu Ling Shuhai. One said five hundred and ninety-nine thousand eight hundred steps.

Same as above, after "Yiyue", we can regard it as written by the second generation of ordinary authors of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. They didn't know who this "Emperor" was from looking at the pictures, but according to their legends at that time, they thought it should be Dayu , so I added the latter sentence.

  I said earlier: I don’t listen to what you two-generation ordinary authors wrote.

  I don't care if the first half is the original version or not, but at least after "One Day", it is definitely not the original version, but at least after the Xia Dynasty.

   I have to say, the phrase "Di Ming Shu Haibu" is awesome. From the East Pole to the West Pole, measuring the distance, is this something done in ancient times?

  Some experts said that the emperor refers to Emperor Shun, who ordered Shuhai to measure the whole country with steps, from east to west.

   But I want to say that his pace is definitely not only the whole country, but the entire wilderness at home and abroad.

  It is measured from the extreme east of America, across Asia and Europe, to the extreme west of Africa.

  It's very simple, everyone has written the number of steps, so let's do the math.

  500,000,000,800 steps, which is an astronomical figure for the era when the Classic of Mountains and Seas was written.

  Because assuming that Shuhai's step is 40 centimeters, he has walked at least 200,000 kilometers.

  Some people say that maybe he took a short step, but he didn't actually walk so many miles.

  OK, let’s weaken him a bit. Assuming that Shu Hai only strides ten centimeters in one step, he has traveled 50,000 kilometers.

  The circumference of the earth's equator is only 40,000 kilometers.

  What is he measuring?

  If he took a detour, which is a tortuous route, then it probably just crossed all the land... the journey from America to Asia and then to Africa, that is, it circled the earth almost once.

  It can’t be cut anymore, what is the concept of ten centimeters? An ordinary cigarette has twelve centimeters...

  Even if Shu Hai is a dwarf, his step is not only ten centimeters.

  Forty centimeters is not enough, so I tend to think he walked at least 200,000 kilometers.

  Whether he travels the world or not, he's definitely not just measuring the country.

  No matter how he detours, walking 200,000 kilometers is already very outrageous.

  Because most modern people can’t walk such a long distance in a lifetime.

  If a person starts at the age of 20 and insists on walking 12 kilometers every day, he can finish the walk at the age of 70.

   Then how does he measure his steps? Is it really counting step by step?

   No, the ancients were much better than we imagined: 'Shuhai counts with his right hand, and his left finger with Qingqiu Bei'.

The original text has already told readers how Shu Hai walked. He first walked over one mountain, then looked at the other mountain with his eyes, stretched out his finger, and calculated the approximate distance between the two mountains by measuring the distance of similar triangles. .

  This also explains why Shu Hai was able to complete this task—mathematics helped him.

   However, even with this method.

First of all, he must be able to see another nearby mountain...Unless he has satellite eyes, he still has to go from the extreme east to the extreme west honestly, at best, take a few detours, so that some visible mountains do not have to I went through it myself. At most, it will take 20% less of the way.

   Besides, even though mathematical tools can help him, the journey from the extreme east to the extreme west, passing through all the mountains, remains the same! It is still 200,000 kilometers...so this record is measuring the whole world anyway.

  Because, even if it is calculated by the territory of our country in the 21st century, the circumference of the whole country is only 40,000 kilometers.

  Go around the whole of China five times to complete 200,000 kilometers.

  'Emperor' asked him to measure the distance from the extreme east to the extreme west. Not just at home.

  Perhaps we should admit that what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is all facts, which our ancestors have seen with our own eyes as they traveled all over the world, taking one step at a time.

  In academia, because the eastern part of my country is all alluvial plains and there are no mountains, the entire "Dongshan Jing" is considered to be a forgery.

However, I heard that some American scholars followed the Shan Hai Jing step by step in the United States, and finally found that the "Dong Shan Jing" accurately recorded the four major mountain ranges in America, a total of forty-six famous mountains, and accurately described these mountains. The direction of the river in the mountains, the distance between the mountains, the flora and fauna... are basically the same.

  Of course, I haven’t been there, and I don’t know if it’s true, so let’s just believe half of it.

   But unless we completely deny Shan Hai Jing and think it is all edited, otherwise we can only believe that Shan Hai Jing records global geographical customs.

  So why did the ancients have this ability to travel around the world? Who is that emperor?

  I have an idea about who the 'Emperor' is, but I can't write it down here...so I won't talk about it.

  So much nonsense, write something with a big brain hole.

  I said that The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a real record rather than a fiction, so what about those completely unscientific beasts and their abilities?

   This point has been interpreted by many, many people. It is nothing more than a problem of expression, lack of vocabulary, and misunderstandings by some bystanders.

To say the most typical, "Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing": "The mountain of Qiao Ming, Qiao water flows out, and the west flows into the river. There are many fish in it, one head and ten bodies, and its sound is like a barking dog. It's gone."

  He Luoyu has one head and ten bodies, but it is actually an octopus. The head of the octopus is too big, and the rest are all tentacles. Because the author of Shan Hai Jing has no concept of tentacles, he said ten bodies.

   This is the best explanation.

  There is also Kui, this is incredible, "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Jing" records: In the East China Sea there is Liubo Mountain, which enters the sea for seven thousand miles. There is a beast on it, shaped like a bull, with a pale body and no horns, with one leg, and when it enters and exits the water, there will be wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and moon, and its sound is like thunder. Its name is Kui. The Yellow Emperor got it, used its skin as a drum, and used the bone of a thunder beast as a prong. It was heard for five hundred miles, and it was powerful in the world.

   This is a hippopotamus. It looks like a cow, with a dark body and no horns. Soaking in the water every day, plus my body is obese, I can't see my feet, so I think it is one foot from the shore, that is, a cylindrical body.

  Hippos will come out of the water on rainy days.

  Including all kinds of strange beasts such as "seeing floods" and "seeing severe droughts", they all have the same reason, that is, because of wind and rain, severe drought, and floods, strange beasts appear. But the author of Shan Hai Jing let the strange beast take the blame.

   The above are some very scientific things.

  Since it is so scientific, I am too lazy to come up with some purely brain-opening explanations, please Baidu yourself.

  If you want to talk, just talk about some strange beasts that cannot be explained by animals.

"Hainei Beijing": "The dog's feudal country is called the dog Rong country, and it looks like a dog. There is a woman who kneels and eats food. There are Wenma, with red hyenas on their bodies, and their eyes are like gold. .”

  Translate: The state of Quanfeng is also called the state of Quanrong, and all the people there look like dogs. In the country of Quanfeng, there is a woman who is kneeling on the ground, holding a glass of wine and food, offering to others. There is also Wenma, which is snow-white all over, with red mane and eyes shining like gold. Its name is Jiliang, and riding on it can make people live a thousand years.

  The first half is nothing more than a strange country. According to the vocabulary of Shan Hai Jing, it is estimated that the people there wear dog-headed masks. The woman kneels down to offer food, which roughly describes the situation of offering sacrifices or making offerings.

  It’s no problem here, it’s nothing more than going to the Dog Rong Kingdom and seeing the sacrificial ceremony of the local dog-head wizard.

   But there is also a kind of Wenma, which can have a lifespan of a thousand years.

   This stuff can't be explained by the previous method at all. It is by no means an animal of any kind in existence.

  A similar description, "Overseas Western Classics" also has: "There is Cheng Huang, which looks like a fox, with horns on its back, and the life span of Cheng is two thousand years old."

  I won’t translate it, anyway, it’s almost the same, that is, I live longer, and the life expectancy can be two thousand years.

  A long-lived mount, how can this be explained?

  Basically, it can only be considered as a myth, a fictional conjecture.

   But as I said, the Book of Mountains and Seas is a documentary and cannot be understood, just because the people who saw those things back then had limited thinking and described them in a different way from us.

  I also said, to interpret directly on the premise that everything has really existed.

   Well, I have only one explanation for this. It is also the only reasonable explanation in my opinion.

   It's a spaceship...

   And it’s a lightspeed spaceship!

  According to general relativity, the closer to the speed of light, the slower the time. I have talked about this in the novel, and you should all understand.

   It’s not a conjecture, it’s a proven theory. The time on the space station is faster than ours on the surface, because the closer to the massive celestial body, the slower the time. This is all because time and space are distorted. Time and space have never been separated. They are originally one. When space is distorted, time is distorted.

   These two things, which are always separated in various starting point fantasy novels, were unified as early as the last century.

  Wen Ma and Cheng Huang are spaceships at the speed of light, or spaceships at sublight speed. The passenger travels away from the earth at sub-light speed. For him, a few days or months may have passed, but when he returns, he finds that the earth has passed one or two thousand years...

  Because the speed is too fast, there is no description of the speed of the two in the article. How to describe it? As fast as lightning? Sorry, Lightning is so slow.

   That thing is too fast to react at all, and the people riding in it will not realize that they are sailing at the speed of light at all, and they may even enter it, and the people riding in it will directly hibernate.

  Of course, it may be a hibernation cabin, but this is not in line with the term "taking advantage of it". The author said that it is something that can be ridden.

  So the speed of light spaceship is the most appropriate.

  At that time, people didn’t understand at all, why did this person drive away after going in, and come back after a thousand years, still so young? And the riders are just ordinary people in our village, it is absolutely impossible to live a long life, my God, that thing can live for a thousand years while riding it!

  The recorder of Shan Hai Jing can only describe one phenomenon: the life span of the people riding on it seems to have increased by a thousand years.

  In fact, it is not the increase in the lifespan of the passengers, but the passage of thousands of years in other places.

  Compared to others, the rider has entered the Wenma for two thousand years, and the rider is still the same as when he entered...

  The recorder doesn’t understand the speed of light spacecraft, so he can only write like this: The life of the ride is a thousand years.

  What can he do? He has exhausted his vocabulary within the scope of his cognition...

  Maybe some barbarians will say, how could there be a light-speed spaceship in ancient times? This is too ridiculous!

  The ancients just fantasized about an animal, a mythical beast, why think of it on a light-speed spaceship.

  Yes, I also feel ridiculous, I also want to know why there are light speed spaceships in ancient times...

  For this reason, I searched through Shan Hai Jing and thought of several explanations, but if I want to make it clear, the space is too large to write here, so I won’t say it for now.

  For the time being, I will only give a very simple proof.

   That is the original text of this passage of Shan Hai Jing. The recorder has already told us that Wen Ma and Cheng Huang are not animals! Not animals! Not animals! Say important things three times!

  Why I say that, because I discovered the description law of Shan Hai Jing.

  If it is an animal, the recorder will definitely write 'there is a beast', or 'a certain beast'.

  So I say that Xuan Ming must not be Kunpeng, because the original text of Shan Hai Jing tells us, "There is God", "There is God", "There is God"!

  This is a classification, and the entire Shan Hai Jing implements this classification of the original author everywhere.

  As for the classification of God and what it refers to, the space is too large to write here, so I won’t talk about it for now.

  In short, Xuanming is a god, and the recorder did not say "there is a fish" or "there is a bird".

  When writing about octopuses, the Book of Mountains and Seas directly wrote "the fish of He Luo". Although octopus is not a fish, the recorders of the year classified it in this way, and they did not have any classification of invertebrates.

  When writing about Phoenix, the Book of Mountains and Seas directly wrote 'There is a bird Yan'.

  The various beasts you know are clearly classified.

  But in Wenma and Chenghuang, the original author did not give a classification, he did not write 'there is a beast named Chenghuang'.

   Instead, directly write 'You Wen Ma' and 'You Cheng Huang'.

   That is to say, the original author knows that this is not an animal! Not a beast, not a god, not a man, not something that his little vocabulary can classify.

   Beyond the author's category, beyond his cultural concept.

  You have to be awesome, but you can also speak with wisdom, not a dead thing, then I can say you are a god. If you live in water, even if you don't look like a fish at all, I can still classify you as a fish. If you can't move, and you are dead and human, then I will call you 'corpse'.

   However, the light speed spacecraft...emmm.

  In short, we can understand things that the original author did not classify as 'unknown objects'.

  He does not classify, but directly writes "You Wen Ma" and "You Cheng Huang", which are actually his intuitive descriptions without any speculation. His writing is calm and unintentionally subjective. Although many descriptions are metaphors, they are unintentional. He has no choice but to describe them in this way, which belongs to intuitive feelings. Accept this, and you will find that the original recorder is a truly rational sage.

  A horse is a means of transportation, and a ride is a vehicle, which is also a means of transportation.

  Wenma is an unknown object covered with patterns that can travel far like a horse...

  Chenghuang is a yellow unknown object that can travel far like a car...

  From the details of 'there is no beast written about', I can feel that he tried his best. He uses the most concise words to express his most intuitive feelings.

   So far, to sum up, the original author could not understand, did not classify things, and thought that they were not gods, people, beasts, or corpses.

  He knows not any means of transportation known to him, but knows it is available. And after the ride, a thousand years have passed, and the rider is still as young as a thousand years ago...

   This thing is reasonable. I think a spaceship close to the speed of light is the most reasonable answer.

  I think that an answer, no matter how bizarre it is, I don't care. As long as it is the only reasonable explanation, then I think it is the truth.

  The most reasonable inference is based only on the hidden clues of Shan Hai Jing itself, without mixing the ideas of later generations Liezi, Zhuangzi, and Huainanzi.

  I won’t just quote from other books. That kind of behavior is like using the settings in Feng Shen Yan Yi to solve the puzzles in Journey to the West.

  Liezi and Zhuangzi, like us, are far away from that era, and even the clues are not as good as ours.

  Because in addition to the conditions of Shan Hai Jing, we still have a universal argument that can be used, and that is science.

  So I don't like to use Liezi, Zhuangzi, Huainanzi and others with emotional factors. Believe in them, it is better to believe in yourself.

  The most reasonable explanation in my mind is always based on the Shan Hai Jing itself and the eternal and unchanging objective laws of the universe.

  Where did the light-speed spacecraft come from? This question is like why the speed of light does not change.

  It is an observational fact, scientists are forced to, and finally they can only establish a system of general relativity to accommodate it.

  The collapse of the quantum wave function is also an observational fact. Scientists are forced to overthrow the building of classical physics and rebuild a set of quantum mechanics.

For me, when I think that Wenma and Chenghuang are light-speed spaceships, which is the only possibility I can reasonably infer, I can only be forced to use this as a fact before interpreting other relevant Shanhaijing Recorded...

  The space is too large, and it is too small to write here.

   Tut, above.

  …

   p.s: Sorry. These ideas written in "Blue and White Society" are explained by the containment and the lizard man Anunnaki (ancient god). But our universe, after all, has no containment. As for whether there are lizard people, or human heads and snake bodies, I think there is... In short, these thoughts about Shan Hai Jing are the current interface, the current dimension, and the current universe. , the current Earth perspective, and its interpretation. It is a brain hole created when our universe is so natural and scientific. It's a pity that there are only a few dozen readers who really want to read these things, and there are really few comments. If I stuff it into the text, it will be a mess. The thoughts about Shan Hai Jing are too much to write. The update has been affected last time, so I probably won’t write any more.
