In the ancient books of the mainland dynasties, many bizarre stories have been recorded, which cannot be explained scientifically. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were suspected flying saucers, and Liu Bowen mentioned UFOs in a poem. Even in the local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty, the legendary experience of Hubei people arriving in Guizhou overnight is recorded. Below, let's take a look at these 3 stories in ancient books.
"Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks" is a Tang Dynasty Zhiwei novel. Mr. Lu Xun believes that this ancient book is more bizarre than "Liaozhai Zhiyi" and can be compared with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The book records that during the reign of Emperor Muzong of Tang, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 823 AD, someone in the capital saw a strong light emitting from the forest on the outskirts of the city while admiring the moon. Several people took a closer look and found a golden unknown object, shaped like a toad. People talk about it, thinking that it is a monster on the moon that landed on earth.
This story not only appears in the "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks", but also in ancient books such as "Xuejin" and "Barnyard Sea". Among the many witnesses was Li Shangyin's friend Zhang Zhoufeng. This person is a member of the Imperial Court, so the credibility of the story is extremely high.
Modern scholars believe that from the content recorded in the "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks", the UFOs that appeared in this Mid-Autumn Festival have three characteristics: luminous, metallic, and resembling toads. This has exceeded the level of technology of the Tang Dynasty, and may only be explained as an alien flying saucer.
The second story is related to Liu Bowen, a strange man of the Ming Dynasty. As we all know, Liu Bowen, like Zhuge Liang, is proficient in Qi men and yin and yang gossip, and likes to explore the mysterious world. Liu Bowen left a Ming Dynasty UFO incident in a "Lunar Eclipse Poem".
...... Flaunting the kun moon strong day, the big moon like a pan out of the sea, do not know where the monster comes from, trance at the beginning of the shocking eye contact, children go to the newspaper to open an account to see, the city corner chirping sound has not died ...
The poem writes that in July 1360 AD, a lunar eclipse occurred in the Jiangsu region. A UFO suddenly jumped out of the East China Sea, shaped like the moon in the sky. People thought it was a monster coming, and they went out of their houses to watch, and the city was full of noisy sounds. Many people believe that this disc-shaped, luminous UFO is very much in line with the shape of modern flying saucers and cannot be an artificial object of the Ming Dynasty.
The third story takes place more recently and has more credibility than the first two. Because it is not a literary work that records this event, but the "Songzi County Chronicle" of Hubei Province in the Qing Dynasty. This local chronicle records that in 1880 AD, that is, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, someone in Hubei Province walked in the woods. Suddenly, a UFO appeared in the morning fog, emitting multicolored light. He ran over and pounced, but was carried by the object and flew up, and then began to trance.
I don't know how long it took for this person to wake up and find himself thrown on a strange mountain. He hurried to ask a woodcutter for directions, and the woodcutter told him, "This is the boundary of Guizhou." So it took him 18 days to return to Songzi County, Hubei Province, thousands of miles away.
This story is recorded in the local chronicles of the Qing Dynasty, which shows that it was a well-known event at that time, and the possibility of fabrication is very low. In fact, in modern times, there are often such legends of "traveling thousands of miles at night", which even modern science cannot explain. Were there really aliens who had been to ancient China? Or is what the ancients saw?
