Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

Chaotic and complicated.

This is precisely a characteristic of our country's mythology system.

Not like some of the myths told by foreigners.

Has a very complete pedigree.

So over the years, there have been many experts in mythology.

Everyone wants to find the mythological system that is unique to our country.

Some viewers thought of it.

"Isn't that the prehistoric times?"

"Don't talk about the ancient times, that's just something from the novel."

"That's right. No one would take this novel seriously."

Why are prehistoric novels so popular?

Even in some parts of Southeast Asia.

Just treat it as a real religion.

That's because it can be said that it sorts out and combines some of China's myths and legends.

Ye Zhen said in a calm voice.

“If I have to say there is one.

That is what Taoists call the Atlas of Immortals.

But that was all very late.

As for the later ones, they have been integrated with elements of Buddhism.

It can be considered as created by later generations.

For example, the most familiar and famous "Diagram of the True Spirit's Position".

This was created by Tao Hongjing during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Later than the Three Kingdoms period.

And this is just Taoist.

If we talk about the native religion of our country, it must be Taoism.

However, Taoism, a native religion, is not very popular in our country.

It’s just that there is a very significant difference between our country’s religion and some foreign religions.

As long as you understand one point, you will know the specialness of the religion born in our country. "

Many people are hearing about the so-called "Diagram of the True Spirit's Position" for the first time.

Just some Taoist friends.

This aspect is very clear.

After all, these are some things they have to do every day.

Taoism was born after the Han Dynasty.

What about before the Han Dynasty?

Taoist Zhang Tianshi admitted, "If we talk about true myths and legends, it must be the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

“This is the most original thing.”

"Many of the things in our sect are just like what Daoist Fellow Ye said."

"These were all put together by some practitioners at the back."

For example, in the later period, someone cultivated and became an immortal.

You can be included in the immortal class.

There are also stories like Guan Erye, who went from being a human to being a god.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people who believe in Guan Erye.

And many of them belong to the gray area and are unconventional ways of making money.

Moreover, Guan Erye actually has an immortal status in Taoism.

Not only the Taoist sect, but also those canonized by emperors of all dynasties.

But if you say that these are part of the Chinese mythology system, that would be very far-fetched.

Monk Fayuan certainly knew what Ye Zhen said.

In the later period, the Western Paradise appeared.

You have to say that this is the traditional mythology system of China.

That's not impossible.

But just as Fayuan thought.

"Only those from the pre-Qin period should be considered as such, right?"

Fayuan suddenly discovered something.

Ye Zhen’s program is about popular science.

But it seems that it was unintentional that the myths and legends in everyone's minds were changed.

It has been sorted out in some form.

"Is this what Donor Ye is thinking?" Monk Fayuan said with a smile, "Reorganize our country's mythology system."

But what Monk Fayuan didn’t understand was.

What Ye Zhen said was more like archaeology.

Dig out some of our country's secrets bit by bit.

So it was Ye Zhen’s show at that time.

That’s why many historians and archaeologists came out to oppose and respond. After all, just like in every industry, there will be disputes among schools of thought.

Who doesn’t want the faction they have worked so hard to support to be completely denied?

“Let’s talk about the particularity of our country’s religion.

This has to start with our bloodline.

I mentioned this a little bit before.

That is from Yanhuang to Dayu.

The story of "Yu the Great Controlling the Flood".

It fully reflects the uniqueness of the blood of our people.

A global flood.

I've mentioned it many times on my show.

The global flood is recorded in the legends of various countries.

In particular, the myths of various countries always mention the great flood that destroyed the world.

But people in myths all over the world faced the great flood.

How to deal with it?
They need the guidance of gods to keep their only good man alive.

Or they would just start to give up and think it was a punishment from God.

There is no way to avoid it.

So I just accepted it.

But it was different when the great flood occurred in our country.

How do people in our country think?
Fight the flood directly.

Fight against the sky and the natural environment.

Not willing to give up, fight the flood directly.

That's why we have this expression in our proverbs.

What kind of prince will Xiangning?

The emperor takes turns to sit and come to my house today.

All this shows that our culture is fundamentally different from many civilizations in the world.

You can look at India now, there is still the so-called caste system.

So this is also reflected differently in our country’s religion.

You can take a look at foreign Buddhism.

Like to talk about the six realms of reincarnation.

You should do good deeds and accumulate virtue in this life, so that you will be rewarded in the next life.

And what about Christianity?
It allows you to atone for your sins in this life, and then go to heaven after death.

But our Taoist sect is completely different.

What do we desire most?" Ye Zhen looked towards the camera, his eyes revealing a questioning look.

What do we desire most?
The Chinese audience was thoughtful.

"What do we desire most? To cultivate immortality?"

"Moving mountains and filling the sea? Turning stones into gold?"

"Or do you want to become the ancestor of the clan?"

Foreigners are very curious and interested in the Chinese cultivation of immortals.

"I have read many immortal cultivation novels on Qidian!"

"They are called cultivators! Of course they want to be able to fly with swords!"

"No, no, no, I think it's to conquer the world!"

Obviously people of different civilizations have different understandings.

Monk Fayuan also knew that Buddhists generally encourage people to be good.

It’s all about having another life.

After death, you will not fall into the animal realm.

Even Zhang Tianshi of Taoism was thinking about it.

What do they desire most?
Ye Zhen smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve said this many times.

In fact, emperors of all dynasties also pursued it.

This is also what makes Taoism in our country different from some other religions.

Our ultimate pursuit is immortality.

Isn’t the purpose of cultivating immortality to live longer?
Didn't Qin Shihuang go to so much trouble just because he wanted to live forever?

So our native religion, Taoism, teaches us to work hard to survive.

To achieve eternal life, not what happens after death.

In our opinion, survival is everything.

So we are everyone from gods to common people and emperors.

They all want to live forever.

Taoism has developed various cultivation paths, whether it is alchemy or the art of sex.

In the end, they all aim to achieve one goal, which is immortality."

After Ye Zhen finished speaking, everyone seemed to have realized something.

But why is it like this only in our country?
Is this true only for our native religions? (End of this chapter)
