"We are born weak, but we can compete with the gods of heaven and earth, and the only thing that can determine our fate is ourselves. ”
A while ago, I saw a sentence, "The land of China does not raise idle gods", and coincidentally, I happened to turn to a storybook about the ancient gods in my hand.
Speaking of, what exactly is a myth?
According to the encyclopedia, myths are stories created orally by the people collectively, expressing the worship of superpowers, struggles, and the understanding and imagination of the pursuit of ideals and cultural phenomena. Myths are not a scientific reflection of real life, but are the result of ancient times when human beings began to think and explore nature and combine it with their own imagination.
As a reader, it is a fresh and interesting story, because the magical world contained in the myth makes people can't help but enjoy it.
And recently turned this one.,It's not the same as the previous one.,At least its content is a bit subversive of the impression of the ancient gods.,It's a little reasonable.。
To put it simply, "Let's Laugh!".Here Comes the Ancient Gods: A Mythical Story in a Mountain and Sea" book personally summarizes it as a hilarious tale of the gods.
In this story, the gods are a little different from what they imagined.
The Queen Mother of the West turned out to be a very simple person, easy to be deceived, and she became irritable when she was deceived too much.
Gonggong, although it is called the god of water, but it turned out to be a demolition, and when it was demolished, it offended the Queen Mother of the West and made a melee of the gods, which can be said to be a super bear child.
Zhu Rong, although he is called the god of fire, he can travel clouds and rain, and he is more worthy of the title of water god than Gonggong.
Houtu, although he is called Houtu Niangniang, he is a man.
Shennong, who turned out to be the manager of all the beasts in the world, knew the language of all beasts, but he was not very good at curing diseases and saving people, and he was fooled by the candle dragon.
Nuwa, it turns out that when she was young, there were times when she was unreliable, and what she created at the beginning was not a person, but the first life she created was a ball.
The candle dragon, who turned out to be the publisher of the quest of the ancient gods and an alarm clock, ended up with five sons and almost ruined the world.
After a simple flip, I feel that it is not easy for the ancient gods, each of them has their own tribe to support their own tribe, and fight for their own tribe, and finally fully explain what it means to "gods fight, mortals suffer", but at the same time, immortals are also easy to be fooled by the human race.
This story is not the same as the fairy stories of the past, integrating a lot of fragmented small stories together, although there are some second creations, but it can also be regarded as looking at mythology from another perspective, and it is also interesting to see the gossip of the gods that is not the same as imagined.
