World Tibet Bureau

It turned out that I was fooled by the weird things along the way.

Jedi Tiantong!

As soon as these four words appeared.

Everything is connected!

This is an ancient and fascinating legend.

"The Book of Mountains and Seas" records: "In the great wilderness, there is a mountain named Riyue Mountain, which is also called Tianshu. Wu Jiao's Tianmen, where the sun and moon enter. There is a god with a human face and no arms, but his two feet belong to the head mountain, and his name is Hush. . Zhuanxu gave birth to an old boy, and the old boy gave birth to Zhong and Li. The emperor ordered Zhong to be offered to heaven and Li to Qiong to come down to the earth."

The general meaning of Jedi Tiantong is.

In the ancient tribal period, heaven and earth were connected, and gods and some psychic people could communicate with each other.

These psychic people are witches.

In the word witch, the upper horizontal line represents heaven and the lower horizontal line represents earth. Those people who can travel freely between heaven and earth are called witches. What does the vertical line in the middle represent?

A sacred tree with a horizontal stem between heaven and earth: Jianmu.

But because of this, some great witches used their psychic powers to cause chaos between heaven and earth, instigating monsters and beasts to descend to the world, and instigating rogues to disrupt the order of heaven. The so-called "Jiuli chaos of morality, chaos of people and gods" occurred, and the entire world There began to be no order, and the people were in dire straits.

In troubled times, great men emerge.

A fierce man appears.

He was Zhuanxu, the leader of the ancient tribe and later named one of the Five Emperors.

Zhuanxu thought that this was not going to work, so he led his people to cut down the sacred tree Jianmu, and ordered one of his descendants named Chong to govern the sky, and one of his descendants named Li to govern the earth (we now have two words "Nine Heavens") , "people of the common people", some studies believe that it is derived from this).

From then on, "it is said that the heavens and gods do not descend to the earth, the earth only does not reach the sky, and the light is irrelevant."

In other words.

Heaven and earth can no longer interact with each other at will, everyone has their own responsibilities, and social order can be restored.

This is the epoch-making Jedi Tiantong.

Many modern historical studies believe that although Jedi Heaven is a mythical story, as a cultural and historical event in ancient times, it should have happened before.

In the ancient tribal period, productivity was extremely low and they relied entirely on the sky. However, those who could master the astronomical calendar, star movement, the laws of the four seasons, herbal and mulberry planting and other technologies undoubtedly controlled the lifeblood of the tribal people.

At the very beginning, everyone could learn this knowledge under the guidance of wizards. The evidence is the unearthed painted pottery patterns, oracle bone calendar talismans, Yinxu dragon horn talismans, etc.

But while learning, two big problems have arisen. One is that everyone learns in a messy and confusing way. Some people even learn from evil wizards, causing fools and harming people, leading to a situation where people are unable to make a living. Second, if everyone learns these things, worships wizards, wants to become wizards, wants to explore the sky, and fights for division, who will unite to resist wild beasts and foreigners, develop powerful productivity, and condense tribal culture?

The wise ancient tribal leaders began to prohibit the disorderly spread of witchcraft, and only allowed the knowledge of astronomy and calendar to be passed on and learned among a few core members of the tribe. They also took major actions to eliminate those crooked witches who disrupted social order.

This approach initially completed the transformation from the worship of witches (gods) to the worship of humans in ancient times. It also gathered the centripetal force of ancient tribes and laid a solid foundation for the integration of civilizations. Its historical significance is no different from a cultural event. Pangu opened the world.

Jianmu may have belonged to a certain "sacred tree" where wizards gathered at that time. It had magical natural phenomena that were difficult for ancient people to understand. It has always been worshiped and worshiped by all wizards. During this witch-killing operation , the ancient tribal leader cut off this symbolic "sacred tree" and completely completed the "Jedi Tiantong".

Ancient myths and legends are very psychedelic.

Scholars are very scientific in their research. Which one is true?

I looked at the strange tree trunk in front of me and couldn't control myself at all.

Everyone was speechless for a long time.

the end.

I asked Lu Cenyin: "So you saw the birdman, the red-skinned snake and other things, and already had a premonition that this would be a tree?"

Lu Cenyin replied: "Sister Fu and I have been studying "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" for a long time, and can almost memorize many of the contents in it. There is wood, with green leaves and purple stems, Xuanhua and yellow solids, and it is called Jianmu , a hundred feet without branches, with nine vines on top and nine walnuts on the bottom..."

"There are two most significant features near it. One is a country where salt grows, and there is a person with a bird's head, named Bird. The other is a kind of creeping snake with a docile nature. It feeds on the branches and leaves of trees and never harms birds. Beast, these are all here!"

I'm really confused.

The relics of previous witch culture, wizard skulls, huge sarcophagi, lightning media, petrified wood... No matter how magical they are, they are all artificial, or they belong to the magnificent scenes created by ancient tribesmen using nature with astonishing wisdom. , it makes sense for scholars to study Jedi Heaven Tong as a phenomenon of ancient tribal culture, and these all fall within the scope of science.

But along the way, the salt springs, birdmen, creeping snakes, bones of strange ancient creatures, and nine large dragon-like whiskers... They are all exactly consistent with the description of the sacred tree in the "Shan Hai Jing", but these are All belong to the category of mythology.

Which one is true?

My scalp was numb, and I said to President Liu and Xia Xi, "Stop getting excited! Let's all have a chat!"

They struggled to extract themselves from their respective states.

President Liu asked: "Brother Su, what are you talking about?"

I replied: "I'm confused!"

Followed by.

I expressed my big doubts.

After Xia Xi heard this, she remained silent.

President Liu said: "Brother Su, I heard that Brother Xia took you to baptize Taiyin Qingxin Technique in Wuyi Mountain. It seems that the effect is not good!"

I:"……"

President Liu's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and his fan suddenly closed.

"Why should we think about which one is true? I have said before that no matter history or mythology, we can only get infinitely close to the truth, but we can never restore the truth. No matter which statement is true, once it is verified here, it will They will all be shocking existences!”

"Moreover, what Liu knows now is that the tree in front of him is a culturally shocking tree that has undergone a major transformation from relying on heaven and God to relying on people. Isn't it the root of our culture? , the source of cultural context?”

I rely on!

Let Lao Liu pretend to be here again!

Xia Xi said: "So...how should we get to the top?" (End of Chapter)
