As we all know, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, also known as the Classic of Mountains and Treasures and Tastes of the Sea (this is false), has 18 extant chapters in the whole book, and the rest of the chapters have been written earlier. The original total of 22 articles is about 32650 words. There are 5 Tibetan Mountain Classics, 4 Overseas Classics, 5 Hainei Classics, and 4 Great Wilderness Classics.
The content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is mainly the geographical knowledge of folklore, including mountains and rivers, Daoli, ethnic groups, products, medicines, sacrifices, witch doctors, etc. As well as many ancient myths, legends and fables such as The Father of Kwa, Nuwa Patching The Heavens, Jingwei Reclamation, and Dayu Zhishui.
The present life of the Classic of Mountains and Seas is now more commonly believed to be written by Dayu and Boyi, and after a series of collations by Liu Xiang's father and son during the Han Dynasty, by the way, this Boyi is the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang.e. In today's article, the second egg will talk to you about some interesting things in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
First: The Undead
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is recorded in the Overseas Southern Classics: "The undead people are in its east, and they are black, long," and they do not die."
These few words are certainly not difficult to understand for all the officials and masters who are only high in eight buckets and five cars, which means that this group of people are all dark-skinned and live an immortal life. But I don't know why, the Classic of Mountains and Seas does not say why they did not die, nor does it say what they taste like when they eat.
In fact, there are more than one place of immortality recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, for example, the Great Wilderness South Classic has: "There is a country of immortality, A surname, ganmu is food" This means that the people of this country do not die because they often eat ganmu. There are also the Elder Wizards and the Queen Mother of the West, who will not die because of the Immortal Medicine.
However, why this so-called immortal is not dead, there is no mention in the whole book, perhaps the answer is in the above sentence. "The undead are in their east, and they are black."
Think about it. When will people turn black? It must be when the body decays after death, right? In ancient times, the so-called "shou" and "immortality" were actually two different concepts. Simply put, longevity is life, life span. But not to die is to be invincible, and water and fire are not invaded.
If it is understood in this way, is this so-called undead country not human at all? It is a group of zombies, so that this country is really thinking about it, this group of people can not survive and can not die, every day do not eat or drink, live like a walking dead life, day after day, year after year, how sad should such a life be?
Perhaps this group of people were all experiments of the ancient wizards, and finally exiled here for some reason, if you look at it this way, is there a great mystery hidden in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? Who are these wizards? Who's behind it? Of course, maybe it's just two eggs thinking too much, maybe this place is the black brothers of the year.
Second: Where is the Guixu Mansion?
Eighteen heavy in the netherworld, heavily imprisoned and iniquity, all things in the world, experiencing the cycle of life and death, and later, it is just a pile of dry bones. In our traditional culture, after death is not the final destination, after death there are ghosts, and finally go to the underground government.
So where is this so-called prefectural government? Some people have to say that the heavenly court is in heaven, and the underground mansion is of course underground, but in fact, it is more than that, for example, the ghost city of Fengdu is not underground. There is also in the "Liezi. The Tang Question records that "the east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know hundreds of millions of miles, there are big ravines, it is actually a bottomless bone, there is no bottom under it, the name is Gui Ruins, the water of the eight strings and nine wildernesses, the flow of heaven and Han, there is no increase, no decrease." ”
This sentence may not be well understood by some friends, and the second egg will first translate it: "In the far east of the Bohai Sea, there is a super large deep ditch, its name is called Gui Ruins, all the water in the world will flow into here, even the Heavenly Yao Pond is no exception, but no matter how much water flows into it, the water in this deep ditch will never be more or less." ”
Now we are influenced by film and television works, and we all believe that the ruins are the land of the dead, the bottomless place, the return of all waters, and the ultimate of Haotian.
There is also a record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "In the midst of the vicissitudes of the sea, there is the mountain of Dushuo, there is a large peach tree, and its three thousand miles are bent, and the northeast of its branches is called the ghost gate, and all the ghosts come and go." ”
The entrance to the underworld here is under the east branch of the peach tree in the sea, and this so-called peach wood east branch is the Bohai Return Ruins, and the last place to arrive after the death of a person may be in this tomb. There are also legends that people who died at sea are difficult to find the remains, perhaps to the ruins.
Now many friends think that the ruins are the current Mariana Trench, the Mariana Trench is 2550 kilometers long, and most of the water depth is more than 8000 meters, which is enough to swallow the entire Mount Everest.
According to scientific reports, the Formation of the Mariana Trench is estimated to be 60 million years old. It is located at the junction of the oceanic plate and the continental plate, so the geological activity is particularly strong, mainly manifested in volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, so scientists think that this place is simply a real-life version of "hell".
In addition to this, the Mariana Trench has an even more terrifying thing, that is, with today's scientific and technological technology, it is still impossible to detect the deepest part of the trench by any means, there is no sound inside, and the silence is frightening.
The pressure of the Mariana Trench is strong enough to turn people into powder in an instant, and perhaps the large creatures on the seabed that have suddenly disappeared live here.
Third: Where are the beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas now?
Did you find out? Since Qin Shi Huang unified the world, there have been no large-scale evil beasts on the earth, and occasionally there are beasts such as Bai Ze Nine Tails, which are also major mountain gods, and more are after the animal cultivation has been successful, I don't know if everyone has paid attention to an experiment in the former Soviet Union, the reason is also funny.
At that time, the United States had just announced the success of the moon landing, the Soviet Union was not convinced, you can go to heaven, then we will enter the ground, and as a result, when we dig more than 12,000 meters, we will no longer have to enter, but instead rush out of this hole some terrible cries similar to the roar of the beast.
Legend has it that the Emperor of The Great Kyushu turned the largest fragment of the Great Kyushu Continent into the Naka-Kyushu Continent, and the Earth is one of the Naka-Kyushu Continents.
After the unification of Qin Shi Huang, he used the mountain whip refined by Lao Tzu to change the geography of the world and the distribution of the oceans, and drove some destructive beasts left by emperor Huan on the earth into the ground (or second space).
