Chapter 157 9. Two-legged primitive beasts

Two hundred and sixty miles west and west, it is called Mount Zhu.There is a beast on it, its shape is like a cow, with hedgehog fur, its name is Qiongqi, its sound is like a howling dog, and it is a man-eating creature.The Mongolian water flows out, and the Nanliu flows into the ocean water, among which there are many yellow shells; the squid has a fish body and bird wings, and its sound is like a mandarin duck. ——"Shan Hai Jing Xi Shan Jing" On the top of Mount Zhu, there is a man-eating beast, while in the Mengshui below the Mount, there is a kind of squid, which has a body of a fish but wings of a bird, and its sound is like that of a mandarin duck. Wherever it appears, there will be flood.Ignoring the man-eating beasts for now, let's take a look at this strange fish in Mengshui. What does this fish symbolize?history

This story says: Men are not good things. Why isn't a man a good thing?Here, the man is an animal whose self-control ability is basically zero. It belongs to the bipedal primitive beast. This kind of animal will be courteous to others as long as it sees the opposite sex. If a woman is not careful, she will be deceived by a man and go bankrupt... … The story says that outsiders are easy to stop, but house thieves are hard to guard against, especially the men in the same tribe, because everyone lives a primitive collective life, and the whole family is all together, so the men in the same tribe are just Became the most dangerous animal in the tribe, be careful, be careful of them... But this kind of words can't be said clearly, once said, the consequences will be serious.

So this "family precept", after alienation, presented itself in front of our descendants again in the form of a strange fish.
