1. Historical facts confirm and explain past events on the basis of continuous research and evidence collection. These facts can be studied through archaeology, history, anthropology and other disciplines based on verifiable evidence. Therefore, historical facts are scientific and objective.
2. Myths and legends are based on people's imagination and understanding of the world, passed down by word of mouth, words and images. They are usually closely related to people's religion, culture, traditions and beliefs, and they are people's explanations and descriptions of natural and human origins, historical events and supernatural phenomena. Because the inheritance methods and contents of myths and legends are often far from real life, their authenticity is often questioned.
Although there are differences between historical facts and myths and legends, they are not completely separated. Some historical events may gradually evolve into myths and legends in the process of inheritance, and some myths and legends may also contain real historical elements. Therefore, when studying and explaining historical facts and myths and legends, we should try our best to use scientific methods and combine multidisciplinary knowledge and evidence to objectively restore the truth of historical events. At the same time, we should also respect the inheritance and cultural value of myths and legends in order to better understand the diversity of human culture and history.
