Chapter 12 2. Underage girls

Jingwei's reclamation is the second famous myth that we are familiar with. This story has the same tragic color as Kuafu chasing the sun. A fragile bird drowned by the vast sea, from generation to generation, unswervingly Engaged in the great work of reclamation, this spirit has been admired by generations of people. Two hundred miles to the north, it is called Fajiu Mountain, and there are many Zheshui on it.There is Niaoyan, its shape is like a crow, Wenshou, white beak, and bare feet, the name is Jingwei, and its name is Ziji.It is the daughter of Emperor Yan named Nvwa. Once, Nvwa went swimming in the Eastern Sea, where she drowned and never returned, so she became the Jingwei.He often holds wood and stones from the western mountains in his mouth, and uses them to fill the eastern sea.

—— "Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing" There is a kind of bird in Fajiu Mountain, which looks like a common crow, but with a colorful head, white beak, and red feet. It is called Jingwei, and its cry is the pronunciation of its own name.The Jingwei bird was originally the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, her name was Nvwa.Nvwa went to the East China Sea to play.After drowning in the Eastern Sea and not returning, it became the Jingwei bird. It often fills up the Eastern Sea with sticks and stones from the Western Mountains in its mouth. This story sounds shocking, but like Kuafu chasing the sun, the story itself obviously lacks logic. It sounds like the same thing, but it is wrong everywhere when you think about it carefully. Although myths have an illogical feature, But for the reductive interpretation of the myth itself, everything that violates logic is precisely the result of historical facts being encrypted and distorted.

With such an analysis, our story has a clue.Emperor Yan is the emperor of fire, and he was in a confrontation with the sea water, but his daughter happened to run into the sphere of influence of the opposing side, and the tragedy was naturally unavoidable. The story is about a young girl whose father is on the side of the war and faces a relentless attack from his opponent.And this young girl is either credulous, or more convinced of the best in the human heart. She made her own way and ran to her father's opponent, trying to persuade everyone to put down their arms, but her father's opponent ignored her advice. Instead, he killed the young girl with vicious means.

The girl was killed, which was a heavy blow to her father, and also led to his defeat on the battlefield.That tyrannical rival eventually seized power, and the populace told one another the story to express their loathing for the tyrant.However, tyrants have their own laws. Confusing black and white has always been a common practice of violent kings. Those who report and hear about this matter will suffer cruel persecution.As a last resort, the people had to use lingo to put the sacrificed The young girl transformed into a bird with a colorful head, white beak, and red feet. In history, Emperor Yan was the sworn enemy of the Yellow Emperor, and in the end Yan Emperor was defeated by the Yellow Emperor.All the men in the tribe were killed, and the women were taken into captivity, so we now call ourselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor.This story is probably about what happened during the war between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. The Yellow Emperor killed a girl for no reason. Of course, this was a very bad thing for him, so he tried to put this matter in history. permanently erased.And the people were forced to communicate in lingo, and finally we got such an exciting fairy tale.
