"Fables" Day and Night Brotherhood

Wen | Wang Cunliang

Day and Night are a pair of brothers, and neither of them can be separated from anyone. Since Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, they have performed their respective duties, dividing the day into two equal parts in a balanced way, and everything on the earth is made at sunrise, and the sun is in and rest, and there is no trouble with each other.

However, just like people, the night also has a greedy heart, always want to possess a little more, just today secretly move the ruler to their own side a little, tomorrow to see the day did not find, just move a little more...

Ri sensed it, so he began to fight back, and as long as he was on duty, he tried his best to lengthen the day. The night of doing whatever he wanted was accustomed to sweetening, and suddenly his opponent was going to fight with him for territory, and he wanted to do everything he could to keep the time in hand, and to expand. So the brothers did not give in to each other, and no one in the world could tell which day was long or short, and the biological clock was disrupted. People's spirits collapsed, the common work was angry and could not crash into the mountain, the pillar of heaven was broken, the earth was destroyed, and the earth suffered a catastrophe. Thanks to Nuwa refining the stone to make up for the heavens and support this situation, the world has calmed down.

Due to the recklessness of the joint work, the sky is tilted to the northwest, the earth is not satisfied with the southeast, the day and night must be in accordance with the new rules, starting from the summer solstice, the longest day and night are the shortest, and then every day is reduced by a moment, and the longest day is the shortest day at the winter solstice night, and then it is changed, and the day and night are gradually increased and reduced.

Increase the length of the night day by day, and the night is naturally happy. However, as the winter solstice approached, the night was still pretending to be unknown, and I went my own way and continued to extend his time. Nuwa really couldn't bear to look at it, afraid that the brothers would quarrel again and cause trouble, so she sent xiao han and big han sisters to the side of the night one after another, reminding: "The winter solstice has arrived!" The winter solstice is here! ”
