Single Chapter: Q&A on the story background of "Senior Brother"
When I read the book reviews between typing, I saw Lai Fu beating Chang... Cough, no, I saw some readers reminding me of the difference between "Houyi", "Dayi", and "Yi".
This kind of dispute is actually unnecessary.
When the author was in high school, he started writing on his own notebook, and then showed it to his classmates with shame and looked at his classmates with comments;
Later, I started to play Dianniang in college (I started to create online literature at Dianniang). At that time, I particularly liked Nordic myths and Greek mythology systems (I was greatly influenced by World of Warcraft), so I wrote a lot of Western fantasy backgrounds and online games of the Warcraft system (I had already earned a lot of royalties in college, saying that I had to say that I had to give it a hip).
Later, he officially entered the industry to write full-time and began to come into contact with Chinese myth...
The first year: Those mythological systems abroad are younger brother!
The second year: Damn, how can these myths be inconsistent? Damn, Damn, King Zhou was hacked, and the replacement of the Shang Dynasty by Zhou was a small step back in the bronze civilization! The reflected myths were also distorted by various ancient schools! I want to prove to Chinese myths! This is the mission of our fairy tale authors!
Year 3:...The information I have come into contact with has been sorted out step by step by step by later generations.
The fourth year:... Why is the Chu Miao myth system so different from folk legends? Well, Taoism has also sorted out a lot in different eras. It's over, so many legends and stories in Taoism, so why is it not unified... This place is obviously not logical? Why is there so many identities in this god... Why are there so many things in ancient emperors? Why are there so many things to seal so many? It's not tired! So many myths are the legacy of the ancestors, but this obviously doesn't match this! Ahhhhhhh!
Year 5:...you should still form your own system and try to respect the myths that more readers accept.
Chinese myths are too complicated and cannot be included in a book of the God Search, nor can they be explained clearly by the Romance of the Gods - Journey to the West (the author Jun classified them into a system).
Myths and legends are time-sensitive (the most typical example is that during the Ming Dynasty Journey to the West was written by Wang Lingguan, the most powerful military power of the Heavenly Court was Wang Lingguan, the elder brother who led the gods of the Lei tribe to stop the monkey. Nowadays, many ancient Taoist temples go up the mountain to worship Wang Lingguan first.)
Myths and legends are also regional.
In addition, myths and legends have been constantly modified and extended by literati and poets from all dynasties, or in the fields, and have grown to this day, and have become a prosperous tree.
Like Houyi shooting the sun, he is first of all a romantic [folk legend] that reflects the ancestors' longing for heroes.
According to the records of "Huainanzi" (written by the Western Han Dynasty), as well as "Fuzi" in the Former Qin Dynasty, as well as archaeological excavations (I remember there are some, and there may be memory omissions in this information I reviewed a few years ago), Yi has the research of "Xia powerful ministers" and has been linked to events such as "Shaokang's revival" (Shaokang regained power in Yi's hands).
Therefore, there is a distinction between "Houyi" and "Dayi".
Houyi's story was originally related to Di Jun, and Di Jun has a different meaning (put aside the prehistoric times, Di Jun refers to the Emperor of Heaven in ancient myths and legends, which is more common in the Shanhai Jing system;
In ancient times, folk legends mostly used the concept of "Cangtian". The image of the Jade Emperor became the concrete manifestation of the Cangtian in the Song Dynasty (probably), and was sorted out by Taoism in ancient times)
In fact, the author Jun thinks that although myths and stories are a reflection of historical events, many of them are no longer able to be investigated.
The background selected in this article is based on the Romance of the Gods (not entirely based on the Romance of the Gods), and combines the mainstream prehistoric texts (a system compiled by "Buddha is the Tao, Dreaming of the Gods" - not a waste of time), and has been created many times.
But we are a myth (point of focus).
The background serves the story, and the story of this article is to allow readers to read happily, read books and relieve the pressure of the readers. It is not to do popular mythology for everyone, so everyone does not have to use various systems and other myth settings to force the background story of this book "Senior Brother".
As long as you see from the beginning, the background logic of this book can be self-consistent.
On this basis, the author will choose the settings that audiences are widely shared and will make minor adjustments that meet the readers' expectations.
For example, in the previous chapter, the author Jun modified these details.
In addition, Chinese myths are huge and profound. From Taoist myths, folk myths, Buddhist myths, to legends and stories with different regions, they are not just one person or one team.
Under the layers of lenses of history, pursuing the fundamental origin of myths is actually a matter of no practical significance and cannot be traced.
Myths are not history and should not be authoritative.
In any case, myths and stories are treasures left by our ancestors, the sustenance of the romantic feelings of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and the treasure house that creators have endless excavated.
Finally, there is another interesting point that the author Jun was thinking about it a few years ago.
"The Romance of the Gods" was written later than "Journey to the West". Could it be that Journey to the West became popular in the Ming Dynasty, and then the author of "The Romance of the Gods" was able to figure it out and slapped his thigh.
‘Hey, I can make this book and explain how the gods in Journey to the West came from!’
Joke, joke.
In addition, deleting manuscripts is really not a casual talk. If you think it is not fun, you will edit it. Sometimes I delete the manuscripts, and my wife, who are also online writers, finds it shocking.
Input method, it is often about three times the number of words I updated.
【About update time】:
It seems that it is inexplicably stable in the afternoon and early morning. The author struggles to try to see if he can recover from noon and updates in the evening and early morning.
Finally, let’s talk about the million words of this book.
Now the average price is 52,000, and more and more readers support genuine versions, and the senior brother is loved by more and more readers.
Bow and thank the readers for their support for the genuine version!
The author's fungus will continue to ensure the quality steadily and strive to update, presenting everyone with more interesting and fun fairy tales!
The next one million words, the next one million words, and the light comedy of cultivation will be held to the end. I also hope that readers who have the pirated version will have the spare time to support the original version!
Continue to code.
Chapter completed!
