My Senior Brother is Too Steady

I read book reviews during the coding break, and saw Laifu typing Chang... Well, no, I saw a reader reminding me of the difference between 'Hou Yi', 'Da Yi', and 'Yi'.

This kind of dispute is actually unnecessary.

The author Jun Jun started writing novels in his notebooks when he was in high school. Then he was ashamed to show them to his classmates and watched eagerly as they commented on them;

Later, when I went to college, I started to engage in online literature creation. I was particularly fond of Nordic mythology and Greek mythology system (which was greatly influenced by World of Warcraft), so I wrote a lot of online game novels with Western fantasy backgrounds and World of Warcraft system ( I already made a lot of royalties when I was in college, akimbo).

Later, I officially joined the coding industry full-time and started to get in touch with Chinese mythology...

Year 1: Those mythological systems abroad are my younger brothers!

The second year: Damn it, how could these mythical stories be inconsistent? Damn it, damn it, King Zhou was hacked. The replacement of the advanced bronze civilization Shang Dynasty by the Zhou Dynasty was a small step back from the bronze civilization! The mythical stories reflected have also been distorted by various ancient schools of thought! I want to prove Chinese mythology! This is the mission of our Xianxia authors!

Third year: ...the information I came into contact with was all sorted out step by step by later generations.

The fourth year: ...Why is there such a big difference between the Chu Miao mythology system and folklore? Well, Taoism has also compiled a lot of them in different eras. Damn it, there are so many Taoist legends and stories, and they are not unified... This place is obviously illogical. Ah...why does this god have so many identities...why did the ancient emperors have so many affairs? Why do they have so many titles? Not tired! So many myths and stories are the legacy of our ancestors, but this one obviously doesn’t match up with this one! Ahhhhh!

Year 5: ...The novel should still form its own system and try to respect the mythology accepted by more readers.

Chinese mythology is too complex and cannot be covered by a book called "Sou Shen Lu", nor can it be explained clearly by "The Romance of the Gods - Journey to the West" (the author classified them into one system).

Myths and legends are time-sensitive (different from popular stories in ancient times, the most typical example is that during the Ming Dynasty when Journey to the West was written, the person with the highest martial arts value in the heaven was Wang Lingguan - the brother of the military general who led the gods of the Lei Department to stop the monkeys. Nowadays, many In ancient Taoist temples, people went up the mountain to pay homage to Wang Lingguan first.)

Myths and legends are also regional.

In addition, myths and legends have been continuously modified and extended by literati and poets of all dynasties, or in the fields. Today, they have become a vigorous tree.

For example, Hou Yi's shooting of the sun is first of all a romantic [folklore story] that reflects the ancestors' longing for heroes.

According to the records of "Huainanzi" (a book written in the Western Han Dynasty), as well as the "Fuzi" of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and archaeological excavations (I remember that there are some, there may be some omissions in my memory when I checked this information a few years ago), Yi had ' Xia Quanchen's research was connected with events such as "Shaokang Zhongxing" (Shaokang regained power in the hands of Yi).

Therefore, there is a distinction between 'Hou Yi' and 'Da Yi'.

The story of Hou Yi was originally related to Emperor Jun, who has different meanings (leaving aside the prehistoric novels, Emperor Jun most often refers to the Emperor of Heaven in ancient myths and legends, mostly found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas system;

Most of the folklore in ancient times was based on the concept of "celestial sky". The image of the Jade Emperor became the embodiment of the sky in the Song Dynasty (probably) and was organized by Taoism in ancient times)

In fact, the author feels that although mythological stories are reflections of historical events, many of them cannot be studied.

The background selected for this article is based on the Fengshen Romance (not entirely relying on the Fengshen Yanyi), combined with a system compiled by the mainstream prehistoric literature ("Buddha is the Tao: Meng Ruishenji" - and this is not a complete swallow), and conducts Created many times.

However, we are a mythical novel (emphasis added).

The background serves the story, and the purpose of the story in this article is to allow readers to read happily, have fun reading, and help readers relieve stress. It is not to popularize mythology for everyone, so you don’t need to use various systems and other mythological novel settings. Determined, the background story of this "Senior Brother" is copied.

As long as everyone reads it from beginning to end, the background logic of this book will be self-consistent.

On this basis, the author will choose the setting of the audience communication and make minor adjustments that meet the readers' expectations.

For example, in the previous chapter, the author modified these details.

In addition, Chinese mythology is vast and profound, ranging from Taoist mythology, folk mythology, and Buddhist mythology to legends and stories from different regions. Not one family, one person, or a team can really explain it all.

Under the lenses of history, tracing the fundamental origins of mythological stories is actually a matter without much practical significance, and it is impossible to trace it.

Myth is not history and should not be authoritative.

In any case, myths and stories are the treasures left by our ancestors, the romantic feelings of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and the endless treasure trove that today's creators can explore.

Finally, there is another interesting point that the author has been pondering a few years ago.

"The Romance of the Gods" was written later than "Journey to the West". Could it be that during the Ming Dynasty, "Journey to the West" became popular first, and then the author of "The Romance of the Gods" figured it out and slapped it on the thigh.

‘Hey, I can get a book and explain where the gods in Journey to the West came from! ’

A joke, a joke.

In addition, deleting articles is really not something you just say casually. If you think it’s not fun, you will edit or delete it. Sometimes I delete articles and my wife, who is also an online article author, finds it shocking.

The input method input is often about three times the number of words I update.

[About update time]:

It seems that it is now inexplicably stable in the afternoon and early morning. The author is struggling for a while and trying to see if he can resume adding updates at noon, night, and early morning.

Finally, let’s talk about the achievement of one million words in this book.

Now the average price is 52,000. There are more and more readers who support the genuine version, and I am liked by more and more readers.

I bow and thank you readers for your support of the original version!

The author Jun will continue to steadily ensure quality, work hard to update, and present more interesting and entertaining fairy tales to everyone!

The next million words, the next million words, stick to the light comedy of cultivating immortality to the end. I also hope that readers who watch pirated copies will come and support the original version if they can!

Continue coding.
