"Pheasant has beautiful hair" in the Naturalist and Greek daffodils
Pictured in the title content of ""Pheasant with Beautiful Hair" and Greek Daffodils" posted in Tianya
This passage in Jin's "Naturalistic History of Materiality": "The pheasant has beautiful hair, loves its colored hair, reflects the water all day long, and drowns in dizziness." "When I saw it, I thought it was so familiar that it was exactly the same as the daffodil story in Greek mythology!" It's just that the name has been changed, and a lot of details have been added, and the similarity of its content is too high.
How can this not be doubted? It's just that there are too many Chinese classics, and after the West casually copied a little remodel, it is difficult to find, if it is not accidentally seen, it cannot be detected at all!

Here's a comparison:
Jin", "Naturalistic History: "The pheasant has beautiful hair, loves its colored hair, reflects the water all day long, and drowns in dizziness." ”
Greek mythology daffodil story:
Version 1: Narkissos (Narkissos) is derived from the ancient Greek myth of the beautiful teenager Naxos, the beautiful teenager Naxos one day found his own shadow in the water, but did not know that it was himself, admired and could not extricate himself, and finally one day he went to the water to seek pleasure and drowned, and after death he turned into a daffodil. Later psychologists called the disease of self-love (narcissism) or (daffodil) (Narcisssis, daffodil, narcissist).
Version 2: Narcissus is a beautiful boy in Greek mythology. His father was a river god and his mother was a fairy. After Narcissus was born, her mother received an oracle: Narcissus would grow up to be the most beautiful man in the world; However, he will end up depressed because he is obsessed with his appearance. In order to escape the fulfillment of the oracle, Narcissus's mother deliberately arranged for her son to grow up in the mountains and forests, away from streams, lakes, and seas, so that Narcissus could never see his face. As his mother had wished, Narcissus grew up peacefully in the mountains and forests, and he was as the oracle had predicted, with a very beautiful appearance, becoming the most beautiful man in the world The girl who met him was deeply in love with him. However, Narcissus had an arrogant personality, and no woman could get his love. He only likes to hunt in the mountains and forests with his friends all day, and he is dismissive of the girls who fall in love with him.
Echo, the goddess of the mountains, fell in love with Narcissus at first sight, but suffered from the inability to express her feelings, and could only simply repeat the voice of others Narcissus ignored her obsession. Narcissus's heart of stone broke her heart. She begged Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to punish him and make him suffer in pain. Melancholy, anticipation, and nothingness led her to leave her former partner and wander aimlessly into the forest. Here her sorrow grew unabated, her face haggard, and she disappeared from the mountains and forests, but her soft voice always lingered in the valley and did not go. If you walk through the silent woods, she will respond to your voice. This is echo, the goddess of the mountains and forests.
Narcissus's cold-faced stone heart broke the girl's heart, and Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, could not see it and decided to teach him a lesson. But Eros took pity on Narcissus and turned him into a daffodil, blooming where there was water, and letting him look at his reflection forever. The strange little flowers, quiet and arrogant, were very beautiful. In honor of Narcissus, the fairies named the flower Narcissus, or Daffodil. This is why Narcissus always grows at the water's edge. It is also because of this story that people use Narcissism to describe people who are extremely fond of their appearance and have narcissistic tendencies.
Version 3: The Swamp Fairy took a fancy to him, and when she befriended him, he saw his own reflection in the Swamp Fairy's eyes, and he wanted to see it again, so the Swamp Fairy lied to her that it was her soul and lured it into her own world. And put him to death in the swamp.
Version 4: Narcissus has a twin sister who has a good relationship, but his sister died at a very young age, Narcissus misses her so much that one day he saw himself in the pond water, thinking it was his sister, and stayed there for so long that he refused to leave so much that he finally died by the pond.
Because of this myth and legend, people refer to narcissism as the Narcissus complex.

Figure Daffodil as a maid
【Add a short story:
Yuan Hongdao of the Ming Dynasty mentioned in the "History of Bottles" that the flowers inserted in the vase have a protagonist and a supporting role when pairing with waiters, such as "Lamei Yi uses daffodils as a maid".
The implication is that Lamei is the main one, and Narcissus is the maid.
"There are envoys in the flowers, there are concubines in the palace of Judah, and there are concubines in the boudoir." (Omitted) Plum blossoms are based on Yingchun, Ruixiang and Camellia; Begonia takes Ping po, Lin Zhen and Lilac as her concubines; Peonies are made of roses, roses, and wood fragrances; Peony is based on poppies and marshmallows; Pomegranates are made of purple weeds and big red thousand-leaf hibiscus; The lotus flower takes the alum and the jade hairpin as the concubine; Mu Xi takes Hibiscus as a concubine; Chrysanthemum takes yellow and white camellia and begonia as her daughters; Wax plums are based on Narcissus. (The Nine Envoys of the Bottle History)
The reason why Narcissus is considered a maid should be related to its flower god. Although some ancients recognized Yao's two daughters, Emperor E and Nüying, as daffodil gods, more ancient scribes thought that this name belonged to Liang Yuqing.
In Greek mythology, the narcissus Narcissus (Narcissus) was associated with the god of the river, the goddess of the mountain forest, the goddess of retribution, and the god of love.
In traditional Chinese mythology, Narcissus is associated with a lonely and world-weary fairy, and Liang Yuqing is the embodiment. According to the Taiping Guangji, Liang Yuqing was the maid of the Weaver Girl, who was once eloped to the Nether realm by Taibaixing, and the two gave birth to a fat boy. Later, Taibai returned to the throne, and Liang Yuqing was placed under the Beidou.
The status of Narcissus in China is not low, and its endless aliases and nicknames can be confirmed: "Lingbo Fairy", "Flower of the Neck Festival", "Flower and Grass Four Ya" (the rest are orchid, chrysanthemum, calamus, see Qing Suling's "Bonsai Even Record"), "Marigold Yintai" or "Jade Linglong", Huazhong Yake, Nian Hanyou ("Xuepu Miscellaneous" said that "Narcissus should be placed in the bottle, front of the wax plum, followed by Jiang Mei, True Age Han Youye"), one of the four friends in the snow (the "Reading Chronicle" lists it alongside Yumei, wax plum and camellia).
The heavy-petaled Ruogong flower in Chinese daffodils is called "Jade Linglong" and is also a variant of marigold silver table.
There are generally two kinds of Chinese daffodils, one is a single petal, with yellow flower buds, called marigold silver table; A kind of heavy petal, the petals are folded and stacked, and the palace flower is generally called Yu Linglong.
Jade Linglong is a variant of Marigold Silver Terrace, with more petals, but the flower buds have degenerated, so there is almost no fragrance. This is the text is invincible, not as if the single petal daffodil, the fragrance is pleasant, it seems that the flowers are more so, the compound petals are gorgeous and less fragrant, the single petals are rich and the color is not enough, it is difficult to have both, and it cannot be forced.
It may be argued that the reason why Greek mythology used the story of the Chinese "pheasant has beautiful hair" to make up the Greek daffodil god, as for why did it use Narcissus? Probably for the above reasons. 】
Compare the main contents:
Cause: Pheasant has beautiful hair; Narcissus has beauty
Jin": "Pheasant has beautiful hair"
Greek Mythology Daffodil Story: Narcissus is a beautiful boy in Greek mythology. His father was a river god and his mother was a fairy. After Narcissus was born, her mother received an oracle that Narcissus would grow up to be the most beautiful man in the world.
Passing: Pheasant "loves its colored hair and reflects the water all day long"; Narcissus looked at the reflection in the water
Jin "Natural history": The pheasant "loves its color hair and reflects the water all day long"
Greek mythology: 1, after the birth of Narcissus, the mother received the oracle: Narcissus will be the most beautiful man in the world when he grows up; However, he will end up depressed because he is obsessed with his appearance. In order to escape the fulfillment of the oracle, Narcissus's mother deliberately arranged for her son to grow up in the mountains and forests, away from streams, lakes, and seas, so that Narcissus could never see his face.
2, the swamp fairy looked at him, and when he befriended him, he saw his own reflection in the eyes of the swamp fairy, and he wanted to see it again.
3, Narcissus has a twin sister, the two have a good relationship, but his sister died very young, Narcissus missed her very much, one day, he saw himself in the pond water, thinking it was his sister.
The result: the pheasant "reflects the water all day long, and the dizziness drowns"; Narcissus fell in love with the reflection in the water and drowned
Jin "Naturalist": Pheasant "reflects the water all day long, and the dizziness drowns"
Greek mythology: 1, Narkissos (Narkissos) is derived from the ancient Greek mythology of the beautiful young Naxos story, the beautiful teenager Naxos one day found his own shadow in the water, but did not know that it was himself, admired himself, difficult to extricate himself, and finally one day he went to the water to seek pleasure and drowned.
2. The god of eros took pity on Narcissus, turned him into a daffodil, and bloomed in a place where there was water, so that he could always look at his reflection.
3 He saw his own reflection in the eyes of the swamp fairy, and he wanted to see it again, so the swamp fairy lied to her that it was her soul and lured it into his own world. And put him to death in the swamp.
4 He saw himself in the pond water, thought it was his sister, and stayed there for a long time and refused to leave, so that he finally died by the pond.
After the comparison of the two, it is shown that the content of this "pheasant has beautiful hair" in the Chinese Jin "Naturalist" is almost exactly the same as the story of the daffodil in Greek mythology, and the main story cause, process and result are almost exactly the same, the difference is that the Greek myth has become a daffodil after death.
Too many coincidences are not coincidences, this is plagiarism! I don't know if the story has evolved in China, but it does resemble the Greek daffodil story.
It is impossible to convince people with the reason of coincidence, and now some of the problems are similar to China and the West, do not study the reasons, trace the origin, and directly say that China is "influenced" by the West.
Even if we really study it, in the face of all kinds of doubts about Western pseudohistory, we are unwilling to doubt it, preferring to believe in Western pseudohistory, preferring to doubt China's history of faith, and also believing in the history recorded in the West without writing, writing materials, and calendars.
If China and XX countries have any similarities, they will make a lot of noise today, anyway, today China has a "copycat" hat, except for China, other countries pay special attention to their intellectual property rights, especially to safeguard China's interests, and to safeguard China's similarities with them.
However, when they copied China and stole China's intellectual property rights, they were silent, and it is estimated that they will also hit a rake and say that China "copied" them, anyway, in today's "Chinese civilization in the West" is still incessant and has not dissipated!
This is just another example of Western theft and plagiarism against China!
Do you believe that the West did not plagiarize? I don't believe it!
