First, we refute the statement that the demonic Cangyue is the ancient name of the earth.

Well, I refute myself, because I finally want to refute the excessive echoing of some self-proclaimed archaeologists about Liangzhu and other methods used to take things out of context.

I often use this method of scheming text and fooling readers, so I have to refute myself first and popularize the more mainstream and official ideas I have opened to everyone.

There is no way that one must be right or which one must be wrong. Many interpretations of ancient history only have the difference between rigor and inappropriate intention.

All my remarks are thought-provoking and are only used in novels. It is understandable, but since I want to refute some intellectuals, of course I have to start my own attacks first.

In order to avoid some people saying, "Ah, at least they are academic remarks, they are serious guesses. You are all aliens, right?"

Of course, it is not right, so you can directly exclude aliens when talking about this matter seriously.

Novels are novels, academics are academics. Many of my brains are free extras and have little influence, but I mentioned the statement that Kunlun is the earth first in the novel, so I refute it first.

Kunlun, of course, will not be the name of the earth. The world view of the ancients is very simple. The entire earth, like a chessboard, is square. The sky is like a cover, covering this chessboard.

This is the perfect place.

Some people may be surprised that the upper and lower parts are rounded, and the edges cannot be completely covered. Isn’t there any blank area on all sides?

Yes, those blank areas are the sea...the southeast, west and northwest are just around the world.

So this land is called "under the world and within the world".

The whole world view is very harmonious and simple and direct. This is how the sayings of "the world" and "the country" have come from since ancient times.

Of course, the ancient people were not stupid. As civilization grew and expanded, they soon discovered that there were people in the ‘overseas’ and regions.

The Mountain and Sea Classic are divided into the Mountain Classic, the Sea Classic, the Sea Classic, and the Great Wilderness Classic.

Therefore, the ancients were not completely superstitious about this worldview, but they were used to using such words in China. Then even if the word "overseas" seriously violated the worldview of "the world is under the world", they didn't care, because this was already "culture".

It was as if the Xia Dynasty had fallen, and the Zhou Dynasty countries also claimed to be "Xia" and collectively called the countries "Zhuxia" to distinguish the barbarians.

In short, on this basis, the world is the world, and the four seas are the four seas. The word Kunlun has nothing to do with the concept of "the whole world", and then it will not be the name of the earth. That is what I have purely attached to based on the needs of the novel.

So, what is Kunlun?

Since ancient times, more than modern people want to know this problem. Countless literati have searched for Kunlun, each with their own conjectures. There are more than a dozen types of dynasties and dynasties!

During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han appointed a mountain range in the Western Regions, which is the current Kunlun Mountains, but Emperor Wu of Han himself knew it was not... It can be said that for thousands of years, there has been no accurate answer.

There were only two earliest documentary records that mentioned Kunlun, namely "Shan Hai Jing" and "Shang Shu", which were both pre-Qin documents.

At best, add a very authoritative "Records of the Grand Historian".

Taking these three as a description of the original appearance of Kunlun, the subsequent "Kunlun" such as the New Book of Tang, don't mention it. It is becoming more and more complex, with full details, and has a strong legend. It is mostly accompanied by connotations and has low credibility.

I think everyone knows how to write about Kunlun’s Sutra, mostly the Kunlun Hill and Kunlun Xu. It is the place name Jiaqiu, Xu, and Shan.

Kunlun Hill should refer to a special building, important place or wonder in a certain place.

I always hold this point of view, and what I refute myself is just the meaning of the word "Kunlun".

On the mainstream, if you want to study what Kunlunqiu is and trace the root of it, you still have to "Shan Hai Jing".

This is the view of our country's historian Gu Jiegang. He believes that "Kunlun is the first recorded among many ancient Chinese books, "Shan Hai Jing"".

Kunlun in the Shanhai Jing is the most original and clear appearance. The further you go, the more records you imagine and fabricate out of thin air.

So I will post another original text here, and you can compare it with me later.

"The Kunlun Ruins in the Sea are in the northwest and under the Emperor."

"The Kunlun Ruins are 800 miles in radius and 10,000 feet high. There are wood and 5 long and five circumferences on it. There are nine wells on the surface, with jade as the threshold. There are nine gates on the surface, and the gate is guarded by the open beasts, and the hundreds of gods are located. In the rocks in the eight corners and the Chishui River, no one can climb the rocks in the hills without Ren Yi."

"The Chishui River goes out of the southeast corner to travel to its northeast corner. The river goes out of the northeast corner to travel to its north. It goes southwest to the Bohai Sea, and then goes overseas, that is, to the west to the north, and into Jishi Mountain guided by Yu."

"The black water comes out of the northwest corner, goes east, goes east, and goes northeast, and goes south into the sea, and the Yumins south."

"WuShui, Qingshui goes out of the southwest corner, east, north, southwest, and east of Bifang."

"The southern abyss of Kunlun is three hundred feet deep, and the enlightened beast body is a large type of tiger, and nine heads are all faced by humans, standing on Kunlun eastward."

The above is a part of the description of Kunlun Ruins in the Shanhai Sutra. Its nature, image, and geographical location are all clearly described.

Putting aside Kunlun Ruins is an immortal mountain, this kind of setting for cultivating immortals is just judging from the text description, this is not a mountain at all!

There are nine wells on the surface, these wells are surrounded by jade railings, and the doors are guarded by enlightened beasts. These obvious stone statues in front of the door all reveal that they are a building.

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be a natural landscape, and the traces of artificial axes are extremely clear.

The architectural characteristics of Kunlun have been passed down by the Chinese civilization. No matter which dynasty, the wells are surrounded by wooden sills, and at most they are not jade. No matter which dynasty, there are "gate-gate beasts" outside the gate of the large building, and at most they are not nine enlightened beasts.

In short, we are in line with this cultural habit.

The Overseas South Sutra also wrote: "Kunlun Ruins are in the east, and the ruins are in all directions." This shows that this building is a square structure, and this is how our buildings have been since ancient times.

After all, the sky is round and the place is everywhere. When we lay the foundation in civilization, we always pursue the "central" style.

This is not just my point of view. Since ancient times, many literati have believed that Kunlun is not a mountain, but an artificial building. Until now, the mainstream academic community also thinks so.

After the major discovery of the Liangzhu civilization, some scholars forced themselves to look for Kunlun everywhere in the Anti-Shan and Yaoshan ruins group, saying that this might be Kunlun, and that that might be Kunlun.

I don't like this kind of behavior, but there is no doubt that mainstream academics believe that Kunlun is an architecture.

So, what kind of building is it?

The Mountains and Seas Sutra say it very clearly, "The Emperor's Under the Emperor". This emperor usually refers to God in ancient times, that is, "God", which is the supreme god of our civilization.

Of course, people later named it, such as Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, Emperor Yi and Emperor Xin, etc., and added names, which are the treatment of emperors on earth after their death. I will explain the difference between "Human Emperor" and "Heaven Emperor" in the future, which is actually very particular.

But the emperor here must refer to the "Emperor of Heaven" and "God".

After all, the "Under the Emperor" has already shown its extremely noble status and correspondence between the upper and lower levels.

It is the "God" in heaven and the "lower capital" in human beings.

In other words... this is a "sacred temple" with a status equivalent to the "Temple of Heaven".

Therefore, the exaggerated description of "800 miles in a radius, tens of thousands of miles high" can be easily understood. It is because of its sacred and transcendent status, which highlights the majestic and grand exaggerated words of Kunlun.

Such a sacred place would be unsatisfactory without recording how many meters it grows and how many meters it is high... Therefore, there is a saying that it is ten thousand liters.

Moreover, the Shanhai Jing is a picture of pictures, and the text descriptions are all based on the pictures by the ancients. The words are often described by words, and they are often frozen static actions. For example, "There is a woman who kneels in a cup to eat", such as "There is a god, the human face has no arms, and the two feet belong to the head"... These are all typical words when you look at the picture.

Some are front view and some are side view, so there are strange descriptions such as "one foot", "one eye", and "punching the chest".

In addition, special and important things are drawn in the picture, such as "The Country of Adults". It does not mean that the country is full of giants, but that the scale of the person being drawn in the picture is much larger than that of other people to highlight its importance.

The Kunlun Ruins should be extremely conspicuous on the picture and are drawn very large to highlight various details, so it is said that it is ten thousand feet high and 800 miles in radius. In fact, it is converted by the speaker who looks at the picture based on the regular scale of the entire mountain and sea chart.

But as a wonder, Kunlun was not drawn according to the conventional scale at all... it was much larger than the mountain next to it.

The reason is that this is the holy land in the minds of the painters and the core of the entire tribe, so it is painted extremely majestic.

I repeat, what I am talking about here is the mainstream interpretation of Kunlun, which is a rebuttal to myself. Don’t say, ‘Hey, didn’t you say that you didn’t believe in God in ancient times? Are the records of Shanhai Sutra very rational?’

First of all, the serious explanation is that the Shanhai Sutra must be a "witch and historical document", and it still has superstition and deification.

Secondly, I did not say that the ancients did not believe in God, but they just did not believe in Wild God, and they were not religious beliefs like the West.

‘Emperor’ is God, the only and supreme existence.

I think that the ancient Chinese people regarded ancestors as gods, and the extra chapter of this article excluded the statements of aliens and electrical appliances, so the serious explanation of God is "ancestors".

The great ancestors became gods after their death. This is the ancient Chinese understanding of God, and the so-called gods you read from various novels are completely different from the same culture.

"Book of Rites": "Those who are happy are harmonious, and follow the gods and follow the heavens. Those who are polite are suitable for different people, and stay in ghosts and follow the earth."

Our culture has "ghosts and gods", but not natural gods, but humans.

People live between heaven and earth, and the dead return to the land and become ghosts, and return to heaven and become gods!

Ghosts are the form of ordinary people's death, and they are directly tributed to the descendants. The word "oracle bone in the field" is written as "buried in the field", which is "returning to the land".

God is a great achiever who is enfeoffed after his death, and is called "Returning to Heaven". For example, the gods of the four seasons and four poles, Zhurong, Rushou, Gumang, Yuqiang... and so on... the stars in the sky, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, are all gods that people turn into after their death, or the manifestation of some totem.

It is often invented and created what benefits the people, or the bloodline of the entire clan.

For example, the earliest sun god should be Xihe. She formulated the solar calendar and invented the ten heavenly stems, that is, the "ten days". After her death, people named her the sun god based on her achievements, saying that Xihe drove a car and whip from Dongfang Tanggu to the west and rushed to the west, falling from Mount Jin and into Yuyuan. Every day, she did it.

This is actually based on merit, and after her death, she gave her a job in heaven...

God is not a person who enjoys lightly, but a person who has a job. God is going to do whatever he wants.

Zhurong's achievements are "casting and melting", and of course they can also be said to be "big and bright". In short, it is fire, mainly to make weapons and burn sacrifices. The burn sacrifice is to ignite a large fire to worship the sky, and it belongs to the great priest.

After his death, he was regarded as a southern god and a fire god came to worship. His duty was to guard the south, take charge of summer, and also to be a kitchen god.

The gods believed by ancient people are completely different from the gods we modern people understand.

All kinds of heavenly orders and things are controlled and operated after the ancestors die.

Those who operate in the celestial phenomena are naturally called "God", those who operate in the water, soil, mountains and rivers are called "Talk", and those who do not have this right to operate are called "Ghost".

The Zhou people believed in Haotian. According to modern people's understanding, they would consider Haotian to be a god, but in fact they were not. Haotian was an emperor and surpassed the god.

The word "hao" does not mean the sun god. It is actually a pictographic "one eye in the sky", that is, the North Star, which was called "Emperor Star" in ancient times. It was the "center of the sky". We are all people of the sky.

The emperor is the supreme will, and God is the dead ancestor who is commemorated by people. The natural gods of mountains and rivers that we modern people talk about were not called gods in ancient times, but ‘only’.

All gods revolve around the emperor.

The five concepts of emperor, god, only, ghost, and man are the ancient witch belief and sacrifice system.

Moreover, there is no distinction between priesthoods, both belong to the "God" class, and they all work for the supreme will. And those with strength are only between tribes and clans.
