Baidu Xilang: From the metaverse to the Classic of Mountains and Seas to the Nine-tailed Fox

This year is known as the first year of the meta-universe, and Facebook preemptively changed the brand name to meta-universe, which has formed a huge impact in the world Internet field. In China, the major giants have a layout. Recently, Baidu released the meta-universe product "Xi'an", which caused a huge sensation in the Internet field. As the first company to eat crabs, it is not easy to make products at such a speed.

As far as the product name is concerned, "Xi'an" comes from The Soil and has a heritage. So many media that have taken the fare of cars and horses have competed to tout, believing that Baidu, as an advertising company, has stood at the height of traditional culture to look at the Internet. Of course, there are also people who think that this is picking up Hua Yahui. Huawei has registered almost the entire "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as a trademark, and when Hongmeng was released, it also caused a great sensation. Baidu is learning from Huawei.

After watching so many rainbow farts, I really want to laugh. Since Huawei trademarked many keywords of the Classic of Mountains and Seas many years ago, why did it miss the word "resting soil"? You know, "resting soil" is a very important keyword in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Do Huawei people lack the guidance of high people, or do they not have this awareness? Why can Baidu Robin Li pick up this leak? The next analysis may make Baidu's friends unhappy, hope to understand, but also hope to give Baidu friends some inspiration.

We Chinese descendants have taken Yao Shun as the sage king since ancient times, and some people even believe that the Yao Shun era is the most democratic and fair era, choosing the wise to rule the country, the world is greatly governed, and the sea is salty and clean. In fact, this is just a beautiful fantasy. The Yao Shun era was not a peaceful and prosperous era, nor was there a so-called democracy and fairness, but a bloody tribal scuffle.

The Yellow Emperor's unification of the Central Plains was not absolute unification, but the formation of a tribal alliance system. Different tribes and clans are grouped together to keep warm, to deal with foreign enemies together, to overcome natural disasters, and to survive. The permanent office of the tribal confederation is equivalent to the secretariat, and there will be a person who is very concerned, similar to the secretary-general, who must come from the largest family.

The so-called Yao Shun is actually equivalent to the secretary general of the tribal alliance, because the largest family will consolidate the power of the tribal alliance through marriage and other means, so the system of selection is becoming more and more difficult. Once the first two clans were united, they could basically control all the power of the entire tribal alliance, so the political rule of the Yao Shun era was an iron-backed aristocratic system.

In fact, after the Yellow Emperor, the core power of the entire tribal alliance was all controlled by the Yellow Emperor family, but because the families controlled by different branches were different, the power positions were different. It seems that the internal harmony is actually heavy, and from the beginning of Emperor Yao, it is not possible to roll inside.

Yao's father was Emperor Zhao , and his tribal alliance leadership was inherited from his uncle , Emperor Huan. His father was Changyi, who was the emperor's second son. Emperor Zhao's grandfather was Shao Hao, the eldest son of the emperor. From the beginning of the emperor, the leader of the tribal alliance was transferred from the second son of the Yellow Emperor to the eldest son of the Yellow Emperor. At that time, He gave up his position to his nephew Emperor Zhao, was it because he had no one to support himself?

Of course not, after the death of the Yellow Emperor, the position of the tribal alliance was ceded to the eldest son, Shao Hao, and after Shao Hao's death, the shao hao family's power was not enough to resist the forces of the gonggong, so that the Shao Hao family had to unite with the patriarch of the Changyi family, that is, The Emperor. The combined forces of the two clans naturally defeated the Gonggong. And the condition for his willingness to fight is that he wants to be the leader of the tribal alliance, and the Shaohao family is not stupid and agrees to let him be the leader, but after that, he must return the power to the Shaohao family. This is the ins and outs of Yao's father, Emperor Zhao, who inherited the tribal alliance leader from Emperor Huan.

After the death of Huan Huan, the power returned to the Shao Hao family, could the son of Huan Hao agree? The most famous of the sons of the carp is the carp, perhaps the reader does not know who the carp is, but you must know who his son and grandson are. His son was King Yu of Dingding Zhongyuan, the legendary Dayu; his grandson was The Founding Emperor Qi of the Xia Dynasty.

Due to the strong ability of the emperor and the strong family power, it is more difficult for him to surpass him. However, after Emperor Zhao's death, the position of the tribal alliance passed to his son Yao, which made Cang very dissatisfied. He believes that he has enough strength and ability to support the tribal alliance, but Yao uses a wealth of political skills to thwart the challenge to him.

After Yao defeated Cang, he began to lay out his heir, the first candidate was the eldest son Danzhu, and the second was the son-in-law Shun. Danju was chosen because he was his own son. Shun is used as an alternative because Shun's family power is also strong, in case the challengers are powerful, take a step back to let Shun ascend to the throne, and the fertile water does not flow to the outsider's field.

After Yao Shun's alliance, Cang lost the opportunity to replace Yao, so Yao wanted to eliminate Cang for his family, after all, Cang's ability was super strong, in case he was a hundred years old, Cang would definitely challenge again. At that time, the flood was terrible, and Yao gave the Cang family an important task to cure the flood within the specified time. However, the most important strategic material for water control has not been opened to carp.

The so-called soil is just dug up, the soil that has been loosened, and the sacks can be taken to pile up the embankment. The temporary reclamation of land without soil was simply impossible as far as the means of production at that time were concerned. Seeing that the people are better off alive than dead, Cang is a charitable person, and his heart is extremely anxious. For the sake of the people of the world, the carp had to arrange for people to steal a part of the soil to control the imminent flood. This is exactly in Yao's heart. Yao arranged for Zhu Rong to capture The Carp and beheaded it in front of Yu's son Yu. The young Yu inherited the leader of the Chong clan, but Yu was just a Mao child and posed no threat to the Tang Yao family. In order to show himself as a renjun, Yao also deliberately took special care of Yu and gave him some power and status.

After Yao got rid of the big trouble in his heart, his Tang Yao family and his son-in-law Shun's Youyu family became two major families, and the two families had no common enemy, and immediately launched a new round of internal rolls. Emperor Yao's son Dan zhu and Emperor Yao's son-in-law Shun rolled up. This struggle is very brutal and manifested in many ways. The fighting on both sides exceeded Yao's expectations, causing unrest in the tribal confederation.

On the one hand, the flood is terrible, the people are not happy, and on the other hand, there is high-level infighting and internal rolling. The entire Chinese civilization is facing tremendous challenges. Yao sided with his son Danju and began to turn his face openly with his son-in-law. Shun was very injured and under great pressure. Shun, unable to help himself, found the young Yu, hoping that he would lead the Chongshi clan and side with him, so as to avenge his father.

Although Yu was young, he knew in his heart that this struggle meant great opportunities. He did not hesitate to stand by Shun's side. Although the Chongshi clan was suppressed and not powerful, it merged into Shun's side, and Shun's power became much larger. Shun fought a decisive battle with Danzhu, who was defeated and fled to the south with his clan. In the south, he cut bamboo and built countless warships, preparing to fight Shun again. However, Shun blockaded The Tao Tang clan's territory and forced Emperor Yao to cede the position of leader of the tribal alliance to him. After Shun came to power, he united with the tribal alliance and became more powerful, and Danju saw that the general trend had gone, and took the fleet to the south, away from the Central Plains.

After cleaning up Danzhu's forces, Shun found that after years of fighting, the water still did not go down, the water was still raging, and if the water was not cured, the world would really be in chaos. At this time, Shun had firmly controlled power, and Yu, who had grown from a teenager to a leader, had become a thorn in his eye. He repeated the same trick, asking Yu to take the tribe to cure the water, if it is not cured, just like his father, he will face death.

Unlike the time of Emperor Yao, by the time of Emperor Shun, the flood was already very large. Shun did not dare to control the soil, so that Yu could not control the water, and then he would not benefit. Shun opened up all the resources of the soil and asked Yu to control the water, but the manpower given was insufficient. Yu had to figure out his own way. Yu found that in the face of such a vast ocean of water, the soil was useless. Instead of congesting the water, it is better to dredge the river channel and go with the flow. Yu did not use the soil, but went to West Kunlun for help, and got the help of the West Queen Mother, the Nine-tailed Fox, the Demon Ji, Ying Long and other gods, so it was quite smooth. In particular, the nine-tailed fox helped Yu a lot, and the two still loved to die and live. Due to the obvious effect of water control, Yu's prestige began to rise, which aroused Shun's vigilance.

Shun prepared to use force to annex the Chongshi clan to prevent Yu from becoming bigger. At this time, Yu and the nine-tailed fox are in love, and neither of them can be separated from the other. The elders of the clan hoped that Yu would abandon the nine-tailed fox and marry the Tushan clan to strengthen his power and fight against Shun. Yu did not agree to give up the Nine-Tailed Fox. When the nine-tailed fox learned of the situation, he told Yu about his origins. It turned out that Shun and Danzhu fought a great war, the Qingqiu Kingdom was almost defeated, and the Nine-tailed Fox Family scattered. If Yu can defeat Shun, become a sage, and restore the country for Qingqiu, she will die or be willing. She wants Yu to abandon her and fight with Shun. Yu did not agree to her leaving, and the Nine-Tailed Fox still secretly left Yu. Yu told the clan that if he didn't see the nine-tailed fox, he would never marry. A few days later, the nine-tailed fox appeared and then disappeared. Yu was dead-hearted and decided to marry the princess of the Tushan tribe, and there was a marriage between the Chongshi and Tushan clans. Yu united the two tribes, defeated Shun, and became the leader of a new generation of tribal alliances.

After Yu came to power, he traveled around Kyushu in search of the nine-tailed fox he once loved. He walked to Qingqiu in Shandong and found that it had experienced war and was already deserted. There are lakes and ravines everywhere, making it difficult to walk. Therefore, Yu ordered that all the soil be transported here, and the hills were piled up and named Qingqiu, and henceforth Qingqiu was the land of the nine-tailed fox, and no nobleman could encroach on an inch of land. From the beginning of Yu, Qingqiu established a state and has been producing nine-tailed foxes until the Qin and Han Dynasties. This is a postscript.

As a strategic material for a country to control water, the soil shouldered the responsibility, but during Yao's reign, for the sake of political struggle, he deliberately did not release the soil, resulting in a terrible flood, so that the carp died tragically. By Yu's time, although the soil could be used, it was of little significance to the control of water. Yuzhi's water does not depend on the soil, but on divine assistance and dredging of the river.

In the ancient system, the soil was an ominous thing, carrying killing on its back, stained with blood, and of little use. The soil does not represent the universe, let alone the future. The soil is nothing more than a pile of wasteland that doesn't work. Baidu's naming of the metacosm by borrowing interest soil is actually very unscientific.

Baidu, from the five elements is water gold, taking the meaning of gold and water. Soil is golden soil, which means native gold. On the surface, native gold, gold and water, are originally in the same vein, in fact, from the analogy point of view, the key to the soil is the soil, for the soil. Baidu is gold water, the key is water. When the soil encounters Baidu, it is equal to the Turk water, which is a big taboo.

The name is not auspicious, does not mean that Baidu's meta-universe products must fail, but the meaning behind it indicates that this product will not be too smooth. From a cultural point of view, it is not auspicious to take this name even in Greek characters. This discussion is a family word, or a blessing to Baidu, I hope that the soil can get better and better.
