Single Chapter: Q&A about the background of the story of "Senior Brother".

Reading book reviews between code words, I saw that Laifu was playing a regular ...... Ahem, no, I saw that some readers reminded the difference between 'Houyi', 'Dayi', and 'Yi'.

This kind of dispute is actually unnecessary.

When the author was in high school, he began to write in his own book, and then he was ashamed to show it to his classmates, and he looked at his classmates for comments;

Later, when I went to college and began to engage in Dianniang (I began to engage in online literary creation), I particularly liked the Norse mythology and Greek mythology system (greatly influenced by the World of Warcraft), so I wrote a lot of online games with Western fantasy backgrounds and Warcraft systems (I have earned a lot of manuscript fees in college, and I said that I have crossed my waist).

Later, he officially entered the full-time codeword industry and began to get in touch with Chinese mythology......

Year 1: Those mythological systems abroad are younger brothers!

The second year: Wo Groove, how can these myths and stories be inconsistent, Wo Groove, Wo Groove, the King of Zhou is hacked, the advanced bronze civilization Shang Dynasty was replaced by Zhou, which is a small regression of the bronze civilization! The myths and stories mapped out have also been distorted by various schools of ancient times! I want to prove to Chinese mythology! This is the mission of our Xianxia author!

Year 3: ...... The information I have come into contact with has been sorted out step by step by future generations.

Year 4: ...... Why is there such a big difference between the Chu Miao mythological system and folklore, uh, Taoism has also sorted out a lot in different eras, it's over, there are so many legends and stories in Taoism, how can they not be unified...... This place obviously doesn't make sense...... How can this god have so many identities...... Why did the ancient emperors do so much and seal so much! Not tired! So many myths and stories are the inheritance of the ancestors, but this obviously does not match this!

Year 5: ...... It is still necessary to be self-contained and try to respect the myths accepted by more readers.

Chinese mythology is too complex to be covered by a book of Sou Shen Lu, nor can it be explained clearly by the Romance of the Gods - Journey to the West system (the author has divided them into a system).

Myths and legends, with timeliness (the difference in popular stories in ancient times, the most typical example is the Ming Dynasty Journey to the West when the book was written, the highest force value of the heavenly court was Wang Lingguan - the military general brother who led the gods of the thunder department to stop the monkey, and now many ancient Taoist temples are to go up the mountain to worship Wang Lingguan first. )

Myths and legends are also regional.

In addition, myths and legends have been constantly modified and extended by literati and writers in successive dynasties, or in the fields, and have grown to this day, and it is already a vigorous tree.

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

According to the records of "Huainanzi" (written in the Western Han Dynasty), as well as the "Fuzi" of the former Qin, as well as archaeological excavations (I remember that there is, there may be memory omissions in this area of information consulted a few years ago), Yi has the sophistication of "Xia Quanchen", and is connected with events such as "Shaokang Zhongxing" (Shaokang regained power in the hands of Yi).

As a result, there is a distinction between 'Houyi' and 'Dayi'.

The story of Hou Yi was related to Di Jun at the beginning, and Di Jun has different meanings, (putting aside the flood and famine, most of the time, Di Jun refers to the Emperor of Heaven in ancient myths and legends, which is mostly seen in the system of mountains and seas;

Folklore in ancient times was mostly based on the concept of 'Cangtian', and the image of the Jade Emperor became the embodiment of Cangtian in the Song Dynasty (probably), and was sorted out by Taoism in ancient times)

In fact, the author feels that although myths and stories are a reflection of historical events, many of them are beyond the scope of research.

The background selected in this article is based on the Romance of the Fengshen (not completely relying on the Romance of the Fengshen), and blends the mainstream Honghuang text (a set of systems sorted out from "Buddha is the Tao and Dreams into the Divine Machine" - it is not a swallowing date), and has been created many times.

But, we are a myth (emphasis added).

The background is to serve the story, and the story of this article is intended to allow readers to read happily, read books for fun, and help readers relieve pressure, not to do mythological science popularization for everyone, so you don't have to use various systems and other mythological settings to set the background story of this "Senior Brother".

As long as everyone sees the end from the beginning, the background logic of the book can be self-consistent.

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

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

In addition, Chinese mythology is huge and profound, from Taoist mythology, folk mythology, Buddhist mythology, to legends and stories in different regions, not a family, a person or a team can really explain.

Under the lens of history, it is actually a matter of little practical significance to investigate the fundamental origin of mythological stories, and it is impossible to trace them.

Myths are not history and should not be authoritative.

In any case, these myths and stories are the treasures left by the ancestors, the sustenance of the romantic feelings of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and the treasure trove that the creators can not dig up today.

Finally, there is another interesting point, which the author has been pondering for several years.

"The Romance of the Gods" was written later than "Journey to the West", could it be that in the Ming Dynasty, Journey to the West became popular first, and then the author of the Romance of the Gods was elusive and slapped his thigh.

"Eh, I can get a book and explain where the immortals in Journey to the West came from!"

Jokes, jokes.

In addition, deleting the manuscript is really not just a casual talk, I think it's not fun, I will fix and delete it, sometimes I delete the manuscript, and my wife, who is also an online author, feels shocked.

Input method input, often I update about three times the number of words.

【About update time】:

It seems that now it is inexplicably stable in the afternoon and early morning, and the author struggles to see if he can recover at noon, at night, and in the early morning.

Finally, the million-word score of the next book.

Now that the average is set at 52,000, there are more and more readers who support the genuine version, and the senior brother is liked by more and more readers.

Bow and thank the readers for their support of the genuine version!

The author will continue to ensure the quality steadily, strive to update, and present you with a more interesting and fun Xianxia story!

The next million words, the next million words, stick to the Xiuxian light comedy to the end, and I also hope that readers who watch pirated copies will support the genuine version if they have the spare energy!

Continue with the codeword.
