Chapter 1251 relief
Chinese civilization originated from Fuxi. During the time of Fuxi, humans were all humans and snakes, and they coexisted with spiritual animals and could live for thousands of years. Later, this civilization gradually declined, and immortality would be eliminated from the Central Plains forever. [For more exciting novels, please visit]
"So, in ancient times, humans were all humans and snakes?" Zhang Tianyou looked at Chu Chunting with disbelief and asked.
"This is just a legend. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know." Chu Chunting looked at the stone statue and continued: "In ancient Chinese legends, snakes are usually a symbol of supernatural magic. In ancient Chinese mythology, the arms, ears or other parts of the gods often coil in a certain snake shape, which is probably a common feature of Eastern culture."
The Book of Changes records: "The bend of a squat is to seek faith, and the hibernation of a dragon and a snake is to maintain its body." For our ancestors, snakes were a kind of awe-inspiring mysterious talisman. Ancient documents, such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Book of Songs", "The Year of Bamboo Books", etc., all accounts of snakes are recorded.
According to the description of "Shan Hai Jing": Jiang Liang holds a snake in his mouth, Ru Shu's left ear is dew snake, Yu Shi's concubine is charming snake in her hand, Shen Yu'er's body is wrapped in two snakes, Dongting monster gods are on their heads, etc.
Many famous gods in ancient legends are mixed with humans and snakes, such as Fu Xi and Nuwa, who are humans and snakes, Gonggong has red human faces and snakes, and his subordinates also have nine human faces and snakes.
"The Western Classic of Overseas" records: "The country of Xuanyuan is faced with a snake." Huangdi, who educated all people to unify China, came from the country of Xuanyuan, which faced with a snake.
Snakes usually give people a feeling of coldness and ruthlessness. The strange eyes and the tongue that frequently spits out the letters, most people think that it is only ugly and terrible, but there is no cute and beautiful place. However, once the snake becomes a spirit, it becomes a beauty like a fairy descending to earth, which makes all the men in the mortal world bow down to each other. This also reflects a great irony of different worldly expressions. As the saying goes, "femme fatale", is to tell men in the world not to look at the appearance of a woman, but to look at her heart.
When he said the last sentence, Chu Chunting's eyes fell on Zhang Tianyou and said with a little deeper meaning: "Tianyou, what do you think?"
Zhang Tianyou had heard what he meant, smiled awkwardly, patted his nose and said, "Well, we naturally know this, but beautiful women are not all femme fatales?"
Chu Chunting gave her a blank look: "I hope you will take care of yourself. If you really want to meet a femme fatale who is infected with snake venom, there is no serum here."
"Sister Chu, what did you mean just now? Could it be that the people living in the ancient country of Queen Mother of the West are all snakes?" Ye Xiaoluan interrupted her and asked softly.
"I'm not sure about this yet, but there are so many statues of snakes here. People living here must have a close relationship with snakes. In ancient times, people would worship an animal as a totem. I think the people from the ancient kingdom of Queen Mother of the West used snakes as totems."
After hearing this, Ye Xiaoluan also felt it was reasonable. Not only are there snakes here, but also snake statues. It is not an exaggeration to say that this country worships snakes.
"Senior brother, senior brother, come and see, what is this?" At this moment, Song Yikuan's voice came from afar. Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they hurried over.
When I got closer, I saw him looking at the wall, "Senior Brother, look at the wall, there are all carved portraits." Song Yikuan said hurriedly.
When Zhang Tianyou saw it, it seemed to be a relief. He saw that there were many people holding spears carved on it, fighting with some people dressed in animal skins. Many of the ancestors were pierced by spears, which seemed to be a war.
Judging from the clothes of these people, the ones holding the spear must be outsiders, and the ancestors wearing animal skins were from the ancient country of Queen Mother of the West. Judging from the relief, the battle situation was very unfavorable to the Queen Mother of the West, because the people from the ancient country of Queen Mother of the West were obviously much less than the other, and the ancient country of Queen Mother of the West were all soldiers and infantry, and there were also horses in the opponent's army. One of the reliefs came into Zhang Tianyou's eyes, which was a carriage led by eight horses. On this carriage was seated by the enemy's commander, and he was behind the team.
However, the figure of Queen Mother of the West was not seen in the relief. All the reliefs were very delicate in shape, and even the facial features were carefully pondered, vivid and vivid, obviously from the hands of skilled craftsmen.
"This, this seems to be a war." Ye Xiaoluan murmured to himself.
"Yes, this is a record of a war. It seems that Queen Mother of the West was invaded, and the other side was a relatively powerful civilization." Chu Chunting looked carefully and analyzed.
"What country will it be?" Ye Xiaoluan asked.
Chu Chunting shook her head slightly and said, "From the recorded text analysis, they started from Huangdi until the era of King Mu of Zhou; it has a history of nearly 2 ooo years. Of course, the early days were not necessarily a country, but it may only be some ethnic minority tribes, but in the Xia and Shang dynasties, they have indeed become a Western power.
There is a record about the Queen Mother of the West in "Yar": When Huangdi was in power, he ordered the envoy to help the emperor overcome the violence of Chiyou. When Emperor Shun was in power, he ordered the envoy to offer white jade rings and Xia offered white jade, and gave the map to the Ming and Ming borders and the country were divided into harmony. Later, the emperor was poor in virtue, gradually stopped interacting, and stopped peace, and threatened them with force. This means that during the period of Huangdi and Emperor Shun, the Queen Mother of the West had a good relationship with them. By the Xia Dynasty, the Queen Mother of the West had already dared to fight against the force of the Xia Dynasty.
"So, these armies are the army of Xia State." Song Yikuan couldn't help but interrupt.
Chu Chunting shook her head slightly: "It's not like, in the Xia Dynasty, you first used maps to divide boundaries with the Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains and live with Xia peacefully, which means she has become a politically independent slave kingdom. Later, she was able to cut off contact with Xia, which means she already has a relatively powerful army that can protect the country. This clearly means that the army of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West was defeated, so it cannot be the army of the Xia Kingdom."
If it is not Xia State, what kind of country would it be? In fact, no one knows history, and only Chu Chunting knows the most, so they can only think about it.
At this time, Chu Chunting's eyes suddenly stared at the carriage pulled by eight horses. However, he was not staring at the carriage, but the people who were on the horse suddenly heard her say, "Tianyou, I understand."
"What do you know?" Zhang Tianyou asked hurriedly.
"I know who invaded the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West, it was him, the man on the carriage."
Zhang Tianyou looked at the man in the carriage and thought to himself, aren’t you talking nonsense? Everyone can tell that the man in the carriage led his troops to attack the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West.
