One of the myths and legends of ancient Chinese times, there are four records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas; one, two or three of them record the geographical location of Father Kwa and the story that Father Kwa is familiar with. Three or four of them tell the cause of his father's death.
First, in the Zhongshan Sutra, it is recorded that the geographical location of the father of the kwa is "ninety miles to the west, known as the mountain of the kwa father." Its wood is more brown, more nan, more bamboo arrows. Its beasts are many [cattle] cattle and sheep, and its birds are many birds. Its yang is more jade, its yin is more iron. To its north there is Lin Yan, known as Tao Lin, which is three hundred miles away, of which many horses. The lake flows out, while the north stream flows into the river, which is full of jade. ”
The second is that in the "Overseas Northern Classics" that we are familiar with, "the father and the sun are expelled and entered the day." Thirsty to drink, drink in the river Wei, the river Wei is insufficient, the north drink Daze. Before he arrived, he died of thirst. Discard its staff. Transform into Dunlin. ”
It is also recorded that "Bo's father country is in Nie Erdong, and he is a big man, and he exercises a green snake in his right hand and a yellow snake in his left hand." Dunlin is to its east, two trees. A Bo father. ”
Third, in the "Great Wilderness North Classic", the origin and cause of death of The Father of The Great Wilderness are recorded: "In the great wilderness, there is a mountain named Chengdu, which carries the heavens. Someone, two yellow snakes, two yellow snakes, called the father of the Quaker. After the native letter, the letter is born to praise the father. Father Kwa did not measure up to his strength, wanted to chase the sun, and arrested him in YuGu. Will drink the river and not enough also, will go Osawa, did not arrive, died here. Ying Long had already killed Yu You, and killed his father, but he went to the south, so it was rainy in the south. ”
Fourth, in the "Great Wilderness East Classic", "In the northeast corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called the Fierce Plough Mound. Ying Long is at the south pole, killing the clams you and the father of the quack, can not return to the upper, so the lower number of drought. Drought is like a dragon, but heavy rain. ”
In the Bo Father Country east of the Nie Er Kingdom, the chinese people are very tall and good at handling snakes; here there is a Mountain called Chengdu, where Father Kua is the grandson of Hou Tu. And Father Kwa did not measure his physical strength, and wanted to catch up with the light and shadow of the sun, and he was already catching up. At this time, Father Kwa was very thirsty, so he drank the water from the Yellow River and the Wei River, drank the two rivers and still did not quench his thirst, and then went north to drink the water in Daze, and before he could get there, he died of thirst in the middle of the road. The crutch he threw away when he died became Dunlin.
There is something strange in front of here, one of which is said to be day by day, but there are also "after death into Dunlin in its east" to know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Or is Osawa in the east?
The second is to say, "The father does not measure up and wants to chase the sun," if it is to chase the shadow of the sun, then there is an explanation above. Later, why did he say that Ying Long had killed Yu You and killed his father? Then it must not be reinstated.
There is a theory that Kwapa was a clan who was later killed by Ying Long while helping Xuan You fight the Yellow Emperor.
Later, he also found the record of Ying Long in the Xia Shan Hai Jing, which is also in the "Great Wilderness North Classic": "Those who are related to the Kun Mountain, there are the platforms of common work, and the shooters do not dare to shoot north." There are people dressed in green clothes, known as the Yellow Emperor's female rays. Xuan You made a military campaign against the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor was the field of Jizhou that Ying Long attacked. Ying Dragon Livestock Water. Xuan You asked the wind and rain to master the wind and rain, and let the wind and rain prevail. The Yellow Emperor was the daughter of the heavens, and the rain stopped, so she killed You. The stingray cannot be restored, and the dwelling is not rainy. Shu Junyan is the emperor, and the north of chishui is placed behind. Shu Jun is Tian Zu. When the time comes, the one who wants to drive away, lingers: "God goes north!" "Remove the waterways first, and break through the ditches."
There is a big case here. In the east, the Yellow Emperor fought with Xuan You, and because the Heavenly Daughter and Ying Long stored water, the heavens and the earth were in drought, and the red land was thousands of miles; only then did the Father of Quao in the west chase the sunscape, resulting in the death of Father Quao. Later, there was "the ray must not return to the south pole" "The dragon should be in the south pole, and the killing of the clams is especially with the father of the kwa, and it must not be restored, so the number of droughts, the drought is the shape of the dragon, but the heavy rain is obtained." ”
