What the! The discovery of Sanxingdui can prove that the content of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is true!!!
There is such a book on the mainland, which has been surrounded by various legends since its inception.
The literary hero Lu Xun thought it was a witch book; The mythologist Yuan Ke said that it was "the power of the land of bandits, and it is also the abyss of mythology"; Henriet Mertz, a well-known American lawyer, wrote a book calling it "an inspection report during the Diyu period."
At present, there are historical sites to prove this book, Sanxingdui has been sleeping for 3,000 years, and it shocked the world when it woke up!
Mysterious 30° north latitude
Hello everyone, I am IQ and EQ are online, everything is understood - so a little bit of Mr. Bubble~
In this issue, I will talk to you about the story behind this strange book - "Classic of Mountains and Seas", don't go away from the back is very exciting.
The Earth is divided by physicists into north and south poles, with 360 meridians and 180 parallels, one of which is north latitude: 30° north latitude, which explorers call the "latitude of death". The four ancient civilizations, the Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx are all on this magical 30th parallel north.
When it comes to history at 30 degrees north latitude, it's hard to write. At the same latitude in the Middle East is the Sumerian King's Table , an ancient Mesopotamian document written in cuneiform script that lists a series of cities in Mesopotamia's vicinity, as well as rulers and reigns.
In the Chinese civilization at the same latitude, it is worth mentioning the "lost book of heaven" - "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is also known as one of the four strange books of the Chinese pre-Qin classics because it reveals too many unsolved mysteries that make people think between the lines.
If you want to say why this book can be considered to reveal the secret of 30° north latitude, we must first talk about the ancient Shu cultural site found on the mainland: Sanxingdui. One of the major archaeological discoveries of the 20th century on the Sanxingdui continent, it is about 3,000 to 5,000 years old, also located at 30° north latitude.
The ancient state of Shu generally refers to the state of Shu. The ancient Shu civilization arose from the upper reaches of the Min River, starting from the primitive clans and tribes, and later after a long period of development and integration, it became the Shu people and transformed into a feudal state. Legend has it that the Shu people originated from the Shushan clan, starting from the title of king of the silkworm clan, and went through the rule of the five clans of silkworm bush, cypress bush, Yu Jian, Du Yu and Kaiming .
The Shu tribe was a tribe different from the Central Plains culture in the pre-Qin period. Regarding the history of the Shu Kingdom, although no written record has been found so far. But its existence has been passed down by word of mouth, such as Li Bai wrote in "The Difficulty of Shu": "Silkworms and fish chicks, how dazed is the founding of the country!" ”
Come, let's take a look together, what strange things have been dug up in the three-star pile of the ancient Shu civilization?
Sanxingdui supports the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"
The first is that the bronze sacred tree is divided into 3 layers in total, and there are 9 sacred birds inhabited on the branches, a portrayal of the "nine days living under the branch", although the top was broken when it was excavated, it is still the largest single bronze in the world.
As the bronze sacred tree was constantly restored, it was discovered that it was related to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Overseas Eastern Longitude": "Yutani has Fuso, the bath of the ten days, in the north of the black tooth. Is it just a wonderful coincidence that there are big trees, nine days on the lower branches, and one day on the upper branches"?
Coincidentally, the second example is the bronze longitudinal wood mask: this bronze mask reaches a height of 66 centimeters, a width of 138 centimeters, and a huge instrument. The biggest feature of the mask is a pair of two bulging eyeballs, connected to two cylindrical bronze "extension rods", as if looking at thousands of miles!
In the Shu Zhi of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it was recorded, "There are Shuhou silkworms, whose eyes are long, and they are always kings." The second king is a cypress irrigation. The second king is Yu Jian. Among them, it mentions the ancestor of the Shu people, "silkworm bush", with a pair of clairvoyants protruding forward like crabs, living in a cave at the foot of Min Mountain, and is a "god of sericulture" who has lived for hundreds of years.
The third strong evidence is the bronze head: this bronze head was unearthed in 1986 in Sanxingdui, Guanghan, Sichuan, with a square face, wide ears, garlic nose, and a strange smile at the corner of the mouth, as if mocking the ignorance of the world.
For this portrait, some scholars use the candle shade of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to explain: "Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain. There is a god, the face of the man is naked, the eyes are straight, his eyes are obscure, his vision is clear, he does not eat or sleep, and the wind and rain are curses. It is a candle nine yin, it is a candle dragon." The so-called "straight eyes" here are explained by Guo Pu, a famous literary scholar in the Two Jin Dynasty, in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and Overseas Western Classics".
Moreover, in "Chu Ci Dazhao" also talks about the Western longitudinal god, in the ancient religious concept of longitudinal god 'Beihui' is also known as the god of gold, autumn, west, and heaven in ancient mythology on the mainland, and one of the five element gods is the god of the west, which coincides with the position of Sanxingdui relative to Chudi.
Traveling to the mainland to prove the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"
Mr. Pao also thought that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was a mythical story, after all, no one had really seen what was written in it. It wasn't until 1993 that Ocean Press published a translation, A Nearly Faded Record, written by American lawyer Henriet Mertz.
The author is a long-time researcher of difficult issues in human cultural history and is obsessed with the relationship between Native American culture and ancient Chinese culture. The second part of the book discusses that 4,200 years ago, Dayu sent people to investigate the mountains and rivers of the American continent, and the author used the English translation of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as a map. As a result, various mountains and rivers are consistent with the English version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
So Mertz declared: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, which has been regarded by Chinese as a myth for more than 2,000 years, is not a myth, but a true written record. This document in the Chinese library provides ample evidence that it reached the Americas as early as 2,000 years BC more than Chinese expeditions, and that these materials have so far been scarce. ”
However, in addition to those who agree, some people feel that Mertz is not authoritative enough, maybe he wrote it blindly in order to be famous; Some people also say that Mertz's practice of the spirit of true knowledge is worthy of recognition, but the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was not fully translated at that time, and there were only a few chapters such as chapters for reference, which must have errors.
At present, they are still arguing, which point of view do you agree with in front of the screen?
