A geographical survey of ancient Dayu's world
You can find an ancient book that is inextricably linked with Sanxingdui, namely Shan Hai Jing. At present, it is probably known that Sanxingdui civilization period is the five emperors period of Central Plains culture, which belongs to ancient times. There are not many records in ancient history books. For example, the heroic life of the Yellow Emperor is only a dozen lines in the history books, and the famous battle between two deer is only a few words in Tai Shigong's pen: fighting human-god, birds killing human-god. ?
It is normal that the style like Sanxingdui is extremely exaggerated, and the civilization different from today's human beings is not recorded in the history books of later generations. The statement that Sanxingdui's historical records are completely unrecorded does not hold water. The old blacksmith might as well boldly verify it. ?
Shan Hai Jing is an amazing book, which is said to have been written when Dayu was in charge of water conservancy. According to this historical timeline, Dayu flood control and Sanxingdui civilization are roughly in the same historical period. ?
The Classic of Mountains and Seas is said to be some contents recorded by Dayu in the Biography of Dayu, but there is no way to verify the original ancient books. Let's imagine boldly that perhaps the original manuscript "Shan Hai Jing" was a geographical investigation report made by Dayu in order to control floods in those years, and now it looks like a mythical ancient world geography. ?
It is said in the Biography of Dayu's Water Control that there was a Biography of Dayu's Water Control in ancient times, which involved a lot of contents about Dayu, and was often accompanied by magical and absurd stories. It is not easy to get first-hand information in ancient books, most of which are oral records. It is impossible to verify the truth of this history, so we can only extract and organize it into articles and modify the writing slightly to keep the original appearance of ancient prose. Because the biography of Dayu has not been handed down for a long time, this book compiled by later generations is called the biography of Dayu. ?
It is also recorded in the Chronicle of Dayu that after controlling the water, Dayu traveled all over the five mountains and the world. Everywhere he went, he summoned the local gods, asked about the direction of the local mountains, what minerals were there, the species of birds, animals and insects, the folk customs of the four fields and eight wastes, and the distance between different countries and regions and the land, and recorded them in Shan Hai Jing. This is the origin of the eighteen classics we are seeing now. ?
What is the origin of Shan Hai Jing and Sanxingdui? Might as well use the most stupid method, according to the map, contrast, and then make relevant speculation, find a reasonable place, and form a new bold guess. ?
Birds in Sanxingdui and Ba People in Shan Hai Jing
According to Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing, there is Pakistan in the southwest. The tree gave birth to salty birds, and the salty birds gave birth to plums. Li Sheng took the post, and the post-photo was the beginning of the Ba people. Most people can understand the meaning of this passage. ?
If understood literally, that is to say, Dayu in the ancient Shu kingdom in southwest China is the ancestor leader of Ba people. Literally translated into vernacular Chinese, there is a Pakistan country in the southwest. Dayu gave birth to a salty bird, and the salty bird gave birth to Li Cheng, who was the ancestor of Pakistanis. ?
According to "Poem Merchants' Poem on Xuanniao", Dalu was Fuxi, the emperor, the salty bird was the son of Dalu, and the salty bird was Xuanniao, also known as the title bird. Anyway, it's definitely a bird. According to his father's request, Xuanniao opened up territory in Shangqiu and became the ancestor of Yin Shang people. ?
According to this record, it is speculated that the grandson of Xuanniao is the ancestor of Ba people, and the descendants of Ba people are descendants of Xuanniao. Perhaps, as the third generation of blackbirds, the human beings bred will have great changes in genes. According to the current science, if it is genetic mutation or genetic modification, it is also very likely that there will be huge differences in appearance. ?
As the grandson of Xuanniao, how did Hou Zhao run to Pakistan from the grandfather's land of Shang Dynasty and become the ancestor of ancient Shu? There is no literature record in the middle, so let's leave it alone. In short, it can be tested that the descendants of Pakistanis are descendants of black birds and belong to birds. ?
Birds can be seen everywhere in the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, which is the connection between Shan Hai Jing and Sanxingdui, and it is speculated that birds should also come from. ?
Let's look at the bronze bird head of Sanxingdui first. This posture is so powerful and imposing that it is as familiar as the bird bully in today's real life. Look at this Sanxingdui bronze chicken with fire pattern. The old irons compare their cute chickens and guess what kind of chicken it is. By the way, they also studied the Sanxingdui bronze bird with exquisite workmanship and realistic shape. ?
Focus on Sanxingdui Face Bird, which looks like Ju Mang, the spring god in Shan Hai Jing, and may be a statue of Ju Mang. Shan Hai Jing records: Ju Mang in the East, a bird with a face, riding two dragons. It means that the God of Ju Mang in the East is a bird with a human face, riding two dragons.
It is said that the original edition of Shan Hai Jing is equipped with a large number of illustrations. Unfortunately, it was later dropped. The portrait of Ju Mang that can be found now was made in the late Ming Dynasty. Although it is not the original, it is still faithful to the text description. ?
Ju Mang is the assistant god of Fuxi, in charge of spring, the germination of trees and the growth of all things. Ju Mang's skin is white, his face is square, he is wearing Tsing Yi, and he has a pair of wings behind him. This shape is really beautiful, and the color and shape give people a vibrant spring beauty. In ancient times, when people went to the beginning of spring, they would wear tsing yi and blue headscarves on their heads to offer sacrifices to Ju Mang, the goddess of spring. ?
Comparing the modeling characteristics of the face bird, and then looking at Ju Mang, the spring god in Shan Hai Jing, Sanxingdui face bird may be a statue offered by the ancient Shu people when they sacrificed to the spring god. ?
It is difficult to be alone, and there is also the possibility of coincidence. Of course, we can't draw a conclusion. We need to look again. Sanxingdui has a greater relationship with Shanhaijing. ?
Sanxingdui bronze sacred tree? The residence of ten suns
This exquisite bronze sacred tree of Sanxingdui is related to the hibiscus tree in Shan Hai Jing. They are similar in form and spirit, maybe they are really the same giant Titan tree.
According to Shan Hai Jing Overseas East longitude, there are hibiscus on the Tang Valley, which bathes on the 10th, north of Blackpool. Living in the water, there is a big tree, which lives in the lower branch for nine days and in the upper branch for one day. It means that in ancient times, somewhere far from the East China Sea, there was a huge sacred tree-Fusang, which was the home of ten suns. Nine suns live on the branch below and one sun lives on the branch above.
Ten suns have a clear division of labor. According to the Classic Wild East longitude of Mountains and Seas, there are supporting trees on the Tang Valley, which arrive at the first day and come out at the second day, all in Ukraine. This passage will be a bit confusing to understand, but the old irons can definitely straighten it out. It means that there is a hibiscus where the sun rises outside the East China Sea, that is, ten trees where the sun lives. Every time a sun returns to the hibiscus tree, another sun will come out of the hibiscus tree, and these suns are all carried by sunbirds. ?
Whose children are these ten suns? They are clever and have to travel with birds on their backs. I feel that life is really comfortable and luxurious, which makes people have infinite association and yearning. Who doesn't want to be carried by a bird to play or go to work? Taiping Yu Lan records that there was a woman named He in China, who was the wife of Di Jun and was born only ten days ago. Do the old irons know the origin of the ten suns, which were born by He and Di Junsheng?
At this time, everyone will think of Houyi shooting day, and everything will naturally be understandable. A sun can only come out in shifts every ten days, and the sunbird is the driver, so for the remaining nine days, you have to play mahjong, throw darts or bungee jump on the hibiscus tree. There is no written record anyway. The sun can brush his mobile phone. If there are mobile phones and games, there may be no later shooting day. For the remaining nine days, you can live in a hibiscus tree and entertain yourself. ?
There is a bird driver in the sun, who has nine days of leisure time, no mobile phone to refresh the screen, and no games. It is estimated that one day, I finally can't help being bored. On the rest day, the nine suns wanted to walk in the street together, and as a result, Hou Yi killed all nine of them. Now it seems easier to understand the previous story. ?
Now, let's look at Sanxingdui bronze sacred tree, which is four meters high and has nine branches. Branches hang down in a beautiful arc. At the top of the arc stood a beautiful bird, holding its head high and spreading its wings, ready to take off, just like the driver of the golden finch waiting for the sun on the hibiscus tree, ready to set off in a dedicated way at any time. Why is a bird at the top of the tree missing? It should go out to work with the sun behind its back. ?
If this comparison is used to infer that so many contents are coincidences and the scenes are so similar, is it true that there were ten suns in the ancient sky? If all the stories in Shan Hai Jing were invented by later generations, how could the ancient Shu state, which had no words, know about Ju Mang, the spring god, and Fusang, the holy tree? ?
Candle dragon, a mountain and sea beast
Experts even found Candle dragon, a kind of god beast described in Shan Hai Jing, in Sanxingdui cultural relics. There are several versions of the vertical surface of Sanxingdui. Some experts believe that it should be Candle dragon, the god beast in Shan Hai Jing. Candle dragon is the dragon and Wan Li. It is daytime when he opens his eyes, night when he closes his eyes, summer when he exhales, and winter when he inhales. He doesn't eat, sleep or rest, and he can call the shots. ?
The appearance and characteristics of Candle dragon, a god beast, are described in Shan Hai Jing Bei Ye: human face is snake face, red face, straight eyes, gloomy eyes, bright eyes and endless rain. It's Candle dragon.
Experts believe that Candle dragon should be the Sanxingdui on the vertical mask. In fact, when the non-professional old iron saw the Sanxingdui vertical mask, his first reaction was clairvoyance. Eyes are so long that they seem to see through like binoculars. Clairvoyance is a magical power, not the original ontology modeling. I still believe that the expert's analysis is more objective. The vertical mask of Sanxingdui should actually be the image of Candle dragon, a god beast, rather than a magical function. ?
Judging from Sanxingdui cultural relics, a large number of myths and various rare birds and animals described in Shan Hai Jing may have really existed. Shan Hai Jing, in turn, proves the inextricable connection between Sanxingdui culture and ancient civilization. Later generations regarded Shan Hai Jing as a god, because the things recorded in the book can't be found in the real world, and being regarded as a myth is the best explanation. ?
Shan Hai Jing also records many mountains, and the species may change with time, but the mountains should not change much for thousands of years. Even if mountains are moved into the sea on a large scale, or Gong Yu has moved mountains for thousands of years, there is no way to achieve earth-shaking landform changes in a short time. However, many of the mountains described in Shan Hai Jing can't be found in today's China, which also makes people feel that they are mythical geographical features. ?
As the saying goes, when thinking changes, if we look at the whole situation, we will find that Shan Hai Jing is like a world geography, and the five series mountains in the southeast, northwest and central parts are all described in Shan Hai Jing. When we look at it, some places are just like Sanxingdui, so we can compare them more or less. ?
An almost faded record? Measure Dongshan Jing on foot
In the book who wrote the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the connection between ancient civilizations, and how many great gods guessed the correct answer, which was published earlier, it was mentioned that a woman named Henry Eteme published the monograph Almost Faded Records-Two Ancient Documents of China's Exploration to America.
The first part of "Almost Faded Records" is about the spread of foreign cultures, which is different from what we generally understand as hibiscus. She is talking about Mexico and corn. The other part is the related contents in the three chapters of Shan Hai Jing: Dongshan Jing, overseas east longitude and wild east longitude.
Ms. Mace thinks Shan Hai Jing is an investigation report of Yu period, with a very long history. However, she has not read the complete Shan Hai Jing, because no one has done a complete English translation of Shan Hai Jing. Maybe she loves to study the crooked nuts in Shan Hai Jing, so she should make more efforts in this respect and at least pay a translation fee. It is estimated that there are still many young students who are willing to complete full-text translation in their spare time.
Just reading the Chinese version of Shan Hai Jing can make people feel like reading an ancient encyclopedia. If all the ten famous works are translated into English, it is estimated that many people will open their minds and produce more relevant research, and maybe there will be more reference materials for literary works. But most of the above records are geography, products, animals and plants, and even human beings that have not been discovered on the earth at present.
Ms. Mace strictly followed the guide in Shan Hai Jing, and made a down-to-earth measurement in the most stupid way. According to the book, walking 300 miles east means walking 300 miles east, and then seeing if there is anything that matches the description in the book, and finally getting a set of highly close data. ?
Among the four mountain ranges recorded in Shan Hai Jing Dong Shan Jing, Ms. Mace found all twelve mountains in the first column, seventeen mountains in the second column, nine mountains in the third column and eight mountains in the fourth column. All the way down, a * * * more than six thousand miles, the overall error is less than two percent. ?
No one knows how the legendary Dayu was measured, whether it was an avatar or an artifact. Anyway, the error recorded by Ms. Metz is only 1%, which seems too close. Not only that, mountains and rivers echo with the records in Shan Hai Jing, and even animals can compare numbers. ?
A small animal recorded in Dongshan Jing: it looks like a bird's beak and an owl, and it sleeps when it sees people. It is called an armadillo. This animal looks like a rabbit, its mouth is like a bird, its eyes are like an owl, its tail is like a snake, and it plays dead when it sees people. Sounds so cute. Play dead to protect yourself. ?
The armadillo recorded in Shan Hai Jing is strikingly similar to an endangered species in North America. It has rabbit ears, a pointed mouth, small round eyes, a long tail and even the same habits. This North American armadillo will curl up and play dead when it meets the enemy. These details are clearly recorded in the book. ?
In reality, the small animal armadillos live in Central and South America and the southern United States, while Dayu, who wrote The Classic of Mountains and Seas, is thousands of miles away. If Dayu has never been to America, how did he know about this little thing? Is it a coincidence of species, or did armadillos cross the ocean and come to America to thrive? ?
Look at the map of the world again and see the internal organs.
There are indications that Dayu, who wrote The Classic of Mountains and Seas, or his earlier ancestors probably made field trips in America, and the places they visited were probably not just North America, but more distant places and wider areas. Because there is a summary at the end of Shan Jing in Shan Hai Jing. ?
Yu said: The world's famous mountains, passing through 5,370 mountains and 64,556 miles, all live in this land. Therefore, these five mountain classics, namely Nanshan Classic, Xishan Classic, Beishan Classic, Dongshan Classic and Zhongshan Classic, are also called Wuzang Mountain Classic. Recently, more and more scholars believe that the five treasures explored by Dayu are probably the five treasures of the earth. Five zang-organs of the earth? Like people, does the earth have internal organs? Look at the map and compare it. ?
First look at the map of the South Pole and compare it with the human brain. Did the old irons find that the South Pole looks like a brain? The five internal organs of human body are heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, and the heart is closest to the brain. Looking for the nearest continent to the South Pole, Australia. Is the map of Australia like a heart? Let's study it ourselves. It is said that people with different IQs see similar shapes differently. Now it is up to the old irons to judge whether it is like a heart. ?
With a brain and a heart, there are lungs on both sides of the heart, and then find out where the lungs are, Africa and South America. The scientific community has always wondered why South America and Africa, which are far apart, have never been connected. We can try to explain why they are so similar. These two continents may be the same organ, namely bilateral symmetrical lungs. ?
Below the lungs is the liver, and to the north of Africa is Eurasia, the Eurasian plate. Is it really similar to the liver? Come and see for yourself, old irons, if it really looks like a liver. Like it or not, people who live here really take care of each other, which makes people think twice. ?
Continue to look at the map, South Asia subcontinent, is it the gallbladder below the liver? The Ural Mountains in the middle are a ligament that separates the left and right trunk Ye Er and fixes the position of the liver together. Across the sea from Eurasia is North America, and on the other side of the liver is the spleen, so the North American continent corresponds to the spleen, and Greenland next to North America is the kidney of the earth. ?
It is amazing that the map of the world is actually a map of the internal organs of the earth. If the four mountains described in the Dongshan Classic were really discovered by Ms. Maze in North America, can you find other places in other parts of the earth? If the whole world can find it, it can be confirmed that Shan Hai Jing is not a myth, but a real ancient history book. ?
If we speculate on this, the story of ancient times recorded in the book, Nu Wa created man, praised her father every day, and Jingwei reclaimed the sea, may not be a myth, but a true history. When Dayu was in charge of water control, he probably visited the whole earth, and it is estimated that he has been to five continents and four oceans. ?
Some old irons may ask, how did Dayu do it? Nobody knows the answer. Let's study and speculate together. There are many things in the world, you can't guess the process, but you can see some results and some clues left.
The mountain range corresponding to the Dongshan meridian was discovered by Ms. Metz in North America. Maybe one day, a scholar in Europe can also find a mountain range on the western meridian, or maybe in a corner of the world, there will be a species that has been sleeping for a long time, and one day it will see the light of day and solve the mystery, just like the bronze sacred tree in Sanxingdui, which can sleep for thousands of years and wake up surprisingly. ?
Old irons, if you have more bizarre speculations, remember to share them in the comments section. Next time you write an article, you may focus on your point of view.
