Moth to the fire: In a poor town, missionaries tried their best to save the suffering soul, but they were ridiculed and reviled by the townspeople. Egged on by bad friends, the young people in the town are gradually on the verge of crime, and their girlfriends who believe in God are also in despair. Missionaries stopped young people from committing crimes in time and slowly exposed their absurd past. In fact, moths just keep their flying direction at a certain angle with the light source. It kept flying, while constantly changing angles, and its trajectory gradually approached the light source, just like the shape of mosquito-repellent incense, flying around the light source, the radius gradually narrowed, and finally touched the light source, if unfortunate.

This is one of the earliest famous myths in China. It tells the story of Kuafu struggling to catch up with the sun and sleeping in Yu Garden. Kuafu, a giant in ancient myths and legends, is a descendant of Hou Di, the Pluto who lives in the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. He has two yellow snakes in his ear and two yellow snakes in his hand, chasing the sun. When he arrived in Yugu, the sun was about to set, and he felt thirsty, so he went to drink water from the Yellow River and Weihe River. After he drained the river, his thirst still didn't stop. He wanted to drink the water from the Great Lakes in the north, but he died of thirst before he got there. Kuafu threw away his walking stick when he died, and it suddenly turned into a peach grove full of fresh fruits to quench his thirst for those who later pursued the light.

Edit this legend

Kuafu's sculpture grows day by day.

In ancient times, in the Great Northern Wilderness, there was a towering mountain. Deep in the mountains, there lived a group of giants with infinite power. Their leader is Kuafu, the son of Xin and the grandson of Hades. Therefore, this group of people is called Kuafu. They are strong, tall and burly, with strong willpower and extraordinary spirit. And kind-hearted, hardworking and brave, living a peaceful and free life. At that time, the land was desolate, poisonous animals were rampant, and people's lives were miserable. In order to make the people of this tribe survive, Kuafu leads people to fight against natural disasters every day. Kuafu often hangs the vicious yellow snake he caught on his ear as decoration, and holds it in his hand and waves it proudly. One year, the weather was very hot, and the burning sun shone directly on the earth, baking crops, scorching trees and drying rivers. People can't stand the heat. People in Kuafu are dying. Seeing this, Kuafu was very sad. He looked up at the sun and told his people, "The sun is really hateful. I want to catch up with it and let it listen to people. " After hearing this, everyone dissuaded them. Someone said, "Don't go. The sun is so far away from us that you will be exhausted. " Someone said, "The sun is so hot, you will be roasted to death." Kuafu made up his mind and vowed to catch the sun, make it obey people's orders and serve everyone. He looked at the poor people and said, "I must go for everyone's happy life!" " "The sun has just risen from the sea, and Kuafu said goodbye to his people. With great ambition, he strode upward from the East China Sea and began his daily journey. The sun is moving fast in the air, and Kuafu is chasing it like a high wind on the ground. He climbed mountains and mountains, and the earth was shaken by his footsteps. Kuafu was tired from running, so he took a nap and shook the soil off the ground, forming a big dirt mountain. When he is hungry, he picks wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and sometimes Kuafu cooks. He built a pot with three stones, and these three stones became three high mountains standing at their feet, several thousand meters high. Kuafu ran after the sun and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the sun. His confidence grew stronger and stronger. The closer you get to the sun, the thirstier you get. Holding the river can't quench your thirst. However, he is not afraid and has been encouraging himself. "Soon, we will catch up with the sun and people's lives will be happy. After nine days at sunset in Kuya, Kuafu finally caught up. Red, burning fireball, right in front of Kuafu, his head, thousands of golden light, bathed in him. Kuafu was ecstatic with open arms, trying to embrace the sunshine. But the sun was unusually hot, and Kuafu felt thirsty and tired. He ran to the Yellow River and drank all the water in one breath, but he still didn't quench his thirst. So he ran to the Weihe River and drank all the water from the Weihe River, but he still didn't quench his thirst. Kuafu went to the north, where there was osawa, and there was enough water in osawa to quench Kuafu's thirst. However, before Kuafu arrived in osawa, he died of thirst on the way. When Kuafu died, his heart was filled with regret. He was still worried about his own people, so he threw out the stick in his hand. Where the wooden staff landed, a large lush peach forest suddenly appeared. This peach forest is lush all the year round, providing shade for passers-by and producing fresh peaches, quenching thirst for hardworking people, and making people get rid of fatigue and embark on a journey energetically.

cause

Stamps praise the Father every day.

The daily stories that Mr. Yang thinks have profound implications. Explain that "only those who pay attention to time and race against the sun can walk fast;" The faster you walk, the more empty you feel in your stomach, so you can need and accept more water (think of water as a symbol of knowledge); Only by getting more water can we race against time and not lag behind it. "Mr. Yang's point of view has been included in the book China Literature, which has won the approval of many comrades. In addition, the writer Xiao Bing said in his book "Fire Stealing Heroes: Kuafu and Prometheus": Kuafu collects kindling for human beings day after day, making the earth bright and warm. Kuafu is a "fire thief hero" and Prometheus of China. Mr. Xiao's views are quite romantic. Others regard Kuafu as a struggle of nature day after day, with Kuafu representing "water" and the sun representing "fire". The water god and the fire god contend, and water and fire are incompatible. Kuafu's daily stories give people rich imagination and profound enlightenment. How to understand this story is not only a concern of academic circles, but its positive significance lies in that people understand the world with their own different understandings and realize their own beautiful pursuit.

purpose

Kuafu's "Day by Day" is actually a long-distance tribal migration in the history of the Chinese nation and a brave adventure. However, because their understanding of the sun's movement and the geographical situation in northwest China is completely wrong, they finally failed miserably. In ancient times, any tribe settled in a place for a long time, and its primitive and destructive labor would inevitably destroy the resources there and tend to dry up. The decline or salinization of land fertility, the narrowing of hunting and fishing areas and so on are inevitable, and the available food and other materials will only become less and less. In this case, there is only one choice, and the tribe must move to a new and better place. When Kuafu encountered this problem, he decided to go west to Yugu at sunset. This decision is incredible to modern people, because we know that the earth is spherical and revolves around the sun. The sun will not fall into the earth at all, let alone move westward, or be blocked by mountains or enter the desert. There are not many places suitable for human habitation. Now that science and technology are developed, it is still difficult for people to live well in oases. As for the ancient intruders, it is almost impossible to survive. But for an inland tribe like Kuafu, it is normal to make this decision. The earth is spherical, and it revolves around the sun. They know nothing about the geography of northwest China. They may know at most from the tribes near the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea that the east is the sea and the sun rises from there. As for the west, the end is the Jade Valley, and the sun sets. The astronomical article in Huainanzi is an example: the sun rises from Yigu and bathes in a salty pool ... As for Kunwu, it means the middle, ... As for Yuyuan Garden, it means dusk, ... And the most commonly used words in modern Chinese still leave traces of ancient understanding of the movement of the sun. Such as The Sun Rises and Sets in the West, Sunrise, Sunset and so on. These words all imply the old idea that the sun rises and sets from the earth. Tribes in Kuafu should focus on agricultural production. They must have realized that sunshine determines seasons, agriculture and other production activities. Then, at sunset in Yugu Valley, the sunshine is the most abundant. For Kuafu people who are facing difficulties due to lack of resources, moving there is the best choice. Unfortunately, they walked into the desert. In the desert, there are yellow sand dunes everywhere. It is very hot during the day, very short of water, and thirsty. According to the records, they found a river in the desert, and called its trunk (Yellow River) and source (Weihe River) tributaries. This kind of river is a seasonal river, which is formed by the melting and gathering of snow and ice in the distant heights in summer. As time goes on, from summer to autumn, the temperature drops, the ice and snow melt less, and it will become shallow and dry up. When Kuafu people found that the river suddenly became shallower, the water surface became narrower and the water volume decreased, they knew that their water source would disappear. Do you insist on going forward or backward? Kuafu decided to leave some people in the oasis, while others, led by Kuafu, went north to look for Osawa. It is very likely that they saw a mirage, but whatever the reason, the result is the same: go north or desert. The desert is harsh and boundless. During the long journey, physical strength dropped rapidly and there was not enough water. Finally, Kuafu and his people collapsed in the desert. This is the actual situation in Kuafu's daily legends. In ancient times, human beings could survive at the expense of destroying the natural environment. Living in one place will destroy another. Therefore, migration and development are more frequent. And Kuafu's "Day by Day", because of his extraordinary courage, became the first time in the history of the Chinese nation that entrepreneurial failure caused by insufficient water resources was remembered. Kuafu is a tribal activity, not a struggle between gods. The evidence is obvious: the previous record is derogatory, "Kuafu overreached", which is the comments of other tribes on their plans and results. Then a hero Ganyun narrative was handed down by Kuafu people. In addition, if the rivers and Wei mentioned in these two documents are understood as seasonal rivers in the desert, rather than the Yellow River and Weihe River, then these two documents are all about people's life in the desert. Kuafu's failure made the ancient people realize that it was extremely difficult to conquer the northwest. Since then, it is water, not war, that determines that the Chinese nation can only develop southward. For thousands of years, the south has been developed by immigrants, and virgin forests and barren land have become prosperous towns, while the northwest is still sparsely populated. Can Kuafu Site be Excavated? Perhaps only Sheriman can do it in China. At that time, German Sheriman, with his love, financial resources and perseverance for Homer's epic, finally turned something that almost everyone thought was just a myth into the most exciting discovery in the history of archaeological excavation.
