A large number of jade people were dug up at the foot of the mountain in Zhejiang, and there were already prophecies in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and experts had no solution
In ancient times, in the field of historiography, it is generally referred to as the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" legend to the Xia Dynasty, a long historical era. Because it is too far away from us, the ancient books and historical materials that record that period are mixed with too many myths and legends. For example, the well-known and famous book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which we are familiar with, tells the situation of that era, and the magic color of the whole book is too strong, so it has not been used by historians as a reference for the study of new history. What people did not expect was that with the vigorous development of modern archaeology, many excavated sites and ancient cultural relics were actually recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Written in the pre-Qin period, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is believed not to have been written by one person, but was compiled and compiled by different people over a period of hundreds of years. This book not only describes the many gods and beasts in ancient mythology and strange strange countries, but also mentions the famous mountains and rivers scattered over the land of China, so the Classic of Mountains and Seas can be regarded as a masterpiece of geography.
According to scholars' statistics, a total of 500 mountains are mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, one of which is a sacred mountain called "Huiji Mountain", which is depicted in the book as a "golden jade mountain" full of golden jade.
It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of Nanshan, "Five hundred miles to the east, huiji mountain, four squares, more gold and jade on it, and more stones under it." Spoons of water come out of the stream, while the south stream flows into the stream. "Because the book was written prematurely, the text description in the book has a strong local tone, and the geographical location of the famous mountains and rivers has confused many scholars. Therefore, people did not seriously study the golden jade sacred mountains mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. However, in the 1960s, a mainland archaeological team excavated the world-famous Liangzhu cultural site near Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, inadvertently unveiling the "Golden Jade Mountain" in the book.
The Liangzhu cultural site is roughly located in the three towns of Liangzhu, Bottle Kiln and Anxi in Hangzhou, and the remnants of Tianmu Mountain run through it. At the foot of Tianmu Mountain, archaeologists dug up a large number of jade, jade and jade people, as if excavating a jade kingdom from the Liangzhu site.
At this time, people suddenly remembered the golden jade god mountain "Huiji Mountain" recorded in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", according to its description, is not the Tianmu Mountain where the Liangzhu cultural site where a large number of jade artifacts have been excavated?
According to archaeologists, the jade and jade excavated at the Liangzhu site are about 5300 to 6000 years old, and this period coincides with the ancient times described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Some historians speculate that the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" collects many folk rumors in ancient times, and when the Liangzhu culture disappeared, the descendants of its site passed on the historical materials of Tianmu Mountain's "production of jade people and jade Qun" to later generations, and they were eventually included in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" by the author of the book.
The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is so accurate in its prediction of the Liangzhu Jade Cultural Site that experts have not been able to give a convincing answer. In the editor's view, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not so much a work of demonic absurd geography as it is an ancient "folk rumor collection", because many of the strange objects recorded in the book have been discovered by later archaeology, such as the sun god bird and the Fuso sacred tree in Sanxingdui, but the authors have been processed and sorted out by themselves when collecting these stories, which seem absurd.
It is undeniable that the majestic and magnificent "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is indeed the "first strange book" in ancient China.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas is the first large-scale geographical work on the mainland, with a total of 31,000 words, but a few strokes but records the contents of astronomy, geography, mythology, witchcraft, religion, property, folklore, medicine, foreign countries and many other aspects of ancient times in ancient times, which can be described as an encyclopedia of ancient Chinese history.
It is the first treasure book of Chinese civilization, with the magic power to crack the history of ancient civilization, and has a profound impact on the mainland and even the world.
What the Classic of Mountains and Seas outlines to us is not only a vast and bizarre history of ancient mythology, but also a history of civilization in the Yanhuang era that dates back more than 4,000 years, which is of incomparable value to our understanding of ancestors and prehistoric civilizations.
