Chapter 47 postscript

The matter of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors is a matter of ancient times. Exactly how far away it is, it may be thousands of years ago, or it may be tens of thousands of years ago.According to today's archaeological evidence, the Yangshao Culture and Miaodigou Culture sites corresponding to Emperor Yan and Huangdi date from about 4500 BC to 3000 BC.In other words, the two emperors Yan and Huang have a history of five or six thousand years.The period of Fuxi and Nuwa's three emperors corresponding to the Dadiwan site in Tianshui, Gansu has a history of 8,000 to 10,000 years.Therefore, the time passed by the Three Emperors and Five Emperors must be at least five thousand years.

We don't have much memory about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Some ancient classics have left us with scattered records such as Pangu's creation of the world, Nuwa's smelting stones to mend the sky, kneading soil to make people, Suiren's drilling wood to make fire, and Fuxi's eight trigrams opening up the sky. , Knotting Ropes and Recording Events, Youchao’s learning how birds build nests, Shennong’s selling herbs, offering grain, Xuanyuan’s making carts and boats, hanging clothes to rule the world, Leizu raising silkworms and drawing yarn, Kuafu chasing the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, Chi You Metallurgy, Yandi Huangdi Banquan Battle, Huangdi Chiyou Zhuolu Battle, Zhuanxu Jedi Tiantong, Gonggong Anger Touching Buzhou Mountain, Houyi Shooting the Sun, Chang'e Flying to the Moon, Yaotian Shunri, Dayu Controlling Water, etc. More than 30 can Fascinating myths and legends.It is these myths and legends that have brought me a strong interest. Through deep thinking and pursuit of them, I found that these myths and legends seem to be independent, but they are inextricably linked with each other.It is they that reveal the arduous process of our ancestors' creation step by step, and at the same time reflect the spirit of our ancestors' continuous struggle in the face of earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, droughts and other arduous natural environments.

In addition, there are also some classics that presented us with the Queen Mother of the West, the Pyramid, the Kingdom of the Lord Longbo, the Jade Emperor, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the Goddess of Drought, Black and White Impermanence, the Witch and the Manjushahua, etc. or gods. Or records of immortals.These records are interspersed implicitly or explicitly in the middle of the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, adding a lot of mystery to that era. Writing this novel is, first of all, a process of extensive research.Because, only when you know enough information can you understand the true meaning and find the connection.For this reason, I once spent three years driving 30,000 kilometers by myself to investigate the historical sites that are connected with the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns.I am not an archaeologist, but I try to follow the path that the ancients walked.There are too many books and things I bought on the way, but this novel basically reflects my views on the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but what I dedicate to you here can only be a clue and not all.Because fiction is not history.Only in the form of novels can I express the main deeds created by human beings in the tens of thousands of years with a relatively coherent storyline.Only novels can make people who are impossible to meet meet, only novels can make those who have no relationship have a relationship, and only novels can make those ancient people have the same life and death, joy, anger, sorrow and joy as modern people.In fact, the ancients were the same as modern people, their concepts, characters, and emotions determined their lives.

Writing this novel is another process of removing the dross and extracting the essence.Regarding the myths and legends of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors era, there are basically two different views.One view is that there are too many mysteries in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.The Zhuolu War is a mystery. It is said that it was a battle between humans from an alien planet who came to the earth and fought against the people on the earth.Because these people discovered through the study of Chi You's myth that the weapon used by Chi You's side was impossible for humans to create in that era, and it was basically a spaceship.With the deepening of archaeology and the breakthroughs of archaeological achievements, this view has gradually gained the upper hand.Another point of view is that the myths of the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are "human words".It's just that classic myths like Pangu opened up the world and Nuwa smelted stones to mend the sky are a bit too incredible.But with the step-by-step development of archaeological excavations, sooner or later there will be a day when these mysteries are solved.I want to say that that day is indeed approaching step by step.Because today's archeology is no longer an independent archeology of a country, there were no countries in ancient times, and the archeology of a single country may never be close to the historical truth. Step into the confusing ancient society.When we entered those countries with ancient civilizations, people have discovered a major natural event that affected ancient humans, that is, a great flood that exterminated human beings in the "Bible", "Buddhist Scriptures" and in the Chinese mythology of Fuxi and Nuwa , It was this great flood that happened all over the world that made us realize that our current people may not be the first batch of human beings, but may be the second batch or the third or fourth batch of people.And those mysteries that humans can't solve now are the miracles created by humans before the flood.

I believe in the saying: Mythology is ancient science.And the legend is the history of ancient times!The process of removing the dross and extracting the essential and extracting the cocoon is to use my own thinking and modern science to analyze what happened in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to restore myths and legends, and how our ancestors created history step by step. of. It is worth mentioning that the myths and legends given to us by ancient books are all in ancient Chinese, and now fewer and fewer people can understand ancient Chinese, so this book adopts the form of vernacular. Since it is vernacular, there are naturally many ancient people missing breath.In addition, most of the ancients used body language to communicate, but there are not many people who understand body language, and the original intention of writing this book was to write it as a script, so the writing method of a script novel was adopted.Then, modern languages ​​are used a little more.I hope readers are not surprised!

This is my first time writing. Although I have a kind of courage as a beginner, I am not very confident in my literary level.So I can persevere because I have received a lot of encouragement and support.First of all, I would like to thank Sina for giving me a cultural platform, so that I can often face readers and get a lot of reminders and corrections.Mr. Zhenshi Shuliu (Qin Jian) ​​and I wrote two prefaces to me without masking our faces.Mr. Zhefu (the first Chinese environmental protection writer), Ms. Wang Fuzhi (author of "Loess Girl"), Mr. Lu Suning (member of China Writers Association, best-selling author in China), Mr. Xu Hongru (member of China Artists Association), Yang Zezhu Mr. (Reporter of China Radio Station), Mr. Yang Aijun (Reporter of Beiguo.com), Mr. Wang Zhenyu (Vice President of China Wine Culture), Mr. Wang Xiangdong (Author of "Beside Mao Zedong"), Park Wencheng, Zang Zhihua, Wang Jun, Meng Jun, etc. Encouragement and support from my friends and classmates.I am also grateful to my parents and wife Wang Hua, who have always stood behind me and encouraged me to keep moving forward.What is particularly worth mentioning here is: my father Batu (Mongolian name) was the first person to support my writing, but he was unable to see the publication of this book in the end, which also became my motivation for writing this book. What a pity!

Finally, thanks to Xi'an Jiaotong University Press for making this book available! (End of the book)
