Chapter 14 4. Cruel Youth

It seems that this book is a folklore, out of safety considerations, these historical events have been distorted and packaged to the greatest extent, and thus lack logical basis. For example, there is a story about Kuafu chasing the sun in the front, but later it is said that Kuafu was killed by another god, Yinglong. It stands to reason that a person or a god should not have more than two ways of death. You can only die once, even if the number of times a god can die is not too many, but once a certain god dies in more ways, then this mythological record probably has a meaning: In the northeastern corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named Jili Mound.Yinglong was in the South Pole, killed Chiyou and Kuafu, and could not go up again, so he went down several times.If it is in the shape of a dragon early, it will rain heavily.

——"Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing" According to this story, in the northeast corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain named Jili Tuqiu Mountain.Yinglong lives at the southernmost tip of this mountain. Because he killed Chiyou and Kuafu, he can no longer return to the sky. Because of the absence of Yinglong who made clouds and rain in the sky, the lower realm often suffers from drought. Drought pretended to be Yinglong and asked for rain, and he got heavy rain. The Yinglong mentioned in the story is a legendary winged dragon.And Chi You is the leader of the Jiuli tribe in the east. He uses gold as a weapon and can call clouds and rain.

As we said in Kuafu Chasing the Sun mentioned above, Kuafu was killed by the sun, and here it is said that Kuafu was killed by Yinglong. Of course, there must be more than one Kuafu, and he died twice more. It may not be unreasonable, but when the story is so complicated, it is necessary for us to study the key words of this myth: After such an analysis, we discovered a period of history that was deliberately erased 5,000 years ago. The word "ying" in the story represents the equal communication between the social management and the public, while the "dragon" is a metaphor for the long queue in front of the ballot box when the people express their power over state affairs.Before the Yellow Emperor, the people voted on the country's government affairs. Although the Yellow Emperor was an emperor, he had to listen to the opinions of the people.

However, the elder Huangdi was obviously displeased with this system, so he launched two votes, one to call for a war, and the other to propose a motion to strengthen his old man's authority. Unfortunately, the two proposals of the Yellow Emperor were all voted down by the people. Huang Di was very annoyed, so he issued false news, declared a state of war, and took advantage of this opportunity to engage in a vigorous war.After the war, the people demanded to restore the voting system, but the Yellow Emperor flatly refused, and the people were powerless to resist, so they had to use the Yangko team to express their power claims.

The Yellow Emperor did not express too many objections to these Huagu Yangko teams, and the people vented their excess energy through hip-hop dance, that's all.
