A comet crashes into the Earth causing a solar eclipse
Under the mica screen, the candlelight flickered and reflected a deep shadow, quietly sinking like a hyosung falling from a long river. The vast and complex mythological system in Chinese history is like a stroke of color, leaving endless thoughts.
On second thought, why have myths survived to this day? Perhaps, a story can only exist and be passed on if it can provoke people's thinking.
Whether it is derived from reality or beyond nature, competition between human beings cannot be avoided, which has inspired us countless wonderful ideas, such as Nuwa to mend the sky, Jingwei reclamation, etc.
How did humans come about? Most people believe that it was through the evolution of Australopithecus, but it is not known what preceded it, or even further. What science cannot explain can only be attributed to theology. "
Nuwa made people"The myth of the story becomes the best explanation. At the same time, we can't ignore either"Virtual"These labels, because we can't** they may one day be confirmed by scientists, Hou Yi Shooting Sun is an example.
A news released by NASA has aroused strong doubts among netizens. Chinese pay attention to "seeing is believing", not skeptical of everything, but need solid evidence.
In the face of the doubts of many netizens, the professor of NASA gave a detailed explanation of this. For the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, we need to correct some misunderstandings, and the correct way to say it is "the big game shooting the sun".
Hou Yi was a figure from the Taikang period of the Xia Dynasty, and as he grew older and his family members dwindled, he became the leader of a tribe in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Despite having such a position in the Cold Weapon Age, he was clearly not satisfied with that. He had a greater ambition in his heart, and that was to become the ruler of the Xia Dynasty.
This kind of dream may seem a little ridiculous in the context of a particular era, but the dream still has to be there, what if it comes true? When Taikang was addicted to pleasure after ascending the throne and did not care about the government affairs, this undoubtedly provided an excellent opportunity for Hou Yi.
With Hou Yi's efforts, he successfully occupied the river bank to which Taikang belonged, and because the scientific and technological strength at that time was compared with now, once the strategic place was occupied, it was difficult to recapture, so Hou Yi became the "winner" of this battle.
However, although his archery skills were excellent, he was obsessed with hunting and left all state affairs to Han Xun to take care of. Gradually, Han Xun became the de facto ruler, and Houyi's position as monarch became more and more empty.
Eventually, he was killed.
The legendary hero is famous for his superb archery skills. Because of his outstanding talents, he was appreciated by the Emperor of Heaven and sent down to save the people.
After gaining a deeper understanding of the plight of the people, Dayi decided to take action to solve the problem, including the difficult "sun-shooting mission". Thanks to his efforts, nine blazing suns were shot down by him one by one, and everything was brought back to life, which is the origin of the "Great Game Shooting Sun".
In addition, Da Yi also has a special background, he is Chang'e's husband. This is not the same person as the legendary "Hou Yi".
The connection between them does not originate from blood, but only because their names contain "Yi", and they are both masters of archery. Over time and the evolution of perceptions, their stories are gradually confused.
According to the scientific and technological analysis of Professor Zhao Feng of NASA, the "shooting of the sun" is not fiction, but may be an event of a comet hitting the earth, and people at that time could not understand it because of the limitations of the times.
This view is not groundless, just like during the Song Dynasty, if you said that humans would live in space in the future, it would probably be regarded as whimsical. However, in the 21st century, this vision has become a reality, and China has successfully completed several space residency missions, and it is likely to be longer.
I've heard about comets hitting the Earth, but what about this "9"? First of all, we need to know that it is not easy for a comet to hit the Earth. On the way to Earth, the comet will experience a lot of resistance, such as due to tidal factors.
After the influence of an external force, it may be split into nine pieces, hence this number. This is not unfounded, partly because we have a strong knowledge base, and on the other hand, we have historical documents to back it up.
In ancient texts, there is a record of the sun, which states that "nine days" refers to nine suns, does this mean that the comet is splitting as mentioned above? While there isn't enough evidence to prove this, does that mean it doesn't necessarily exist?
In the case of whether there is other life on another planet, we have not found out now, but that does not mean that we will not be able to confirm it in the future. This is just one example, and there are many unsolved mysteries waiting to be explored, such as the story of the Nine Days of Yi Shooting in Zhuangzi Qiushui, should we rethink its meaning?
Throughout the ages, stories that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood have always led to endless reverie, such as the shooting of the sun by Houyi, perhaps as the NASA professor said, is just the hypothesis of a comet hitting the Earth.
In fact, behind every mythical story is people's yearning and expectation for a better life. Due to historical constraints, some natural phenomena that seem simple today could not be reasonably explained at that time.
So, while retaining hope for the future, we may be able to anthropomorphize some of the forces of nature to see if a comet really hit Earth.
At the end of the article, I would like to share a sentence: "Singing about wine is suspected to be in a dream." Flowers bloom and fall, like autumn gloom. "Doubt is the seed of wisdom, the sign of progress, the respect and responsibility for the truth.
Both ordinary people and scholars should have this trait. "Hou Yi shoots the sun"Just a symbol, we can't give up the pursuit and change because of the temporary comfort and comfort.
