"The Classic of Mountains and Seas", forOne of the three great books of antiquityIn addition to recording some ancient creatures in ancient times, plants with miraculous effects, there are many myths and stories that have been sung through the ages, all in all, this is oneIt's mysterious, an ancient book worthy of the world's research, the following is an excerpt from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the ten ancient gods:
1. Nuwa, the god of human creation
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West", there is a record of Nuwa: there are ten gods, named Nuwa's intestines, turned into gods, in the vast wilderness, and everywhere. It probably means that there are ten statues of gods related to Nuwa, lying in the wilderness, lying across the road, like long intestines. In the pre-Qin era, there was the legend of Nuwa, a classic image, with a human head and a snake body. To this day, Nuwa has a high status in mythology, and many literary works have its shadow. For example, Nuwa created people, Nuwa mends the sky, etc., and even in "Romance of the Gods", Nuwa also appeared as a saint.
2. The dragon god should be the dragon
Ying Long is the god of clouds, rain and thunder, ditches and rivers, and is also the god of heavenly dragons. Ying Long is the dragon god in ancient mythology and the pinnacle of the dragon family. In ancient mythology, Ying Long's life was a life of selfless dedication, he worked hard and did not seek fame and fortune. When the Yellow Emperor fought with Chi You, Ying Long fought for the Yellow Emperor in the east and west, and made great achievements, and Chi You and Kuafu were both killed by Ying Long. "Ying Long killed Chiyou and Kuafu, and he must not be restored" - The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Ying Long had spent too much divine power to kill Chi You, and he couldn't fly back to Heaven with the Yellow Emperor. So Ying Long stayed in the mortal sea, and later helped Dayu to control the water, he painted the ground with his tail and opened the mountain to build roads. The ancient demons such as Wuzhi Qi and Jiao Demon King that Dayu met when he controlled the water were also defeated by Ying Long. It's a pity that in the end, the Yellow Emperor didn't give Ying Long a genuine god position.
3, the Yellow Emperor
The Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of the Chinese nation and one of the most famous immortals in Chinese mythology. The war with Chiyou lasted for a long time, and the final decisive battle was carried out in the wilderness of Jizhou, and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness of the North" recorded a legend, "There are people dressed in green clothes, and the name is the Yellow Emperor." Chi You made a military attack on the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor was ordered to respond to the dragon's attack on the wilderness of Jizhou. In response to the dragon and animal water, Chi You invite the wind and rain master to indulge in the wind and rain. The Yellow Emperor was the goddess of heaven, and the rain stopped, so he killed Chiyou.
