Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 50

The sky is blue and white clouds are like snow.

The mountains are rolling up and down, like a giant dragon coiled under the blue sky. Against the backdrop of the green mountains, the blue sky looks extraordinarily clear.

Standing on the high mountain and looking down, the forests are like a piece of jasper inlaid on the ground.

Beautiful, mysterious, spectacular, fresh...

Zoom in.

But it's another scene.

The waves are magnificent and surging, accepting thousands of streams and rivers along the way, mighty, twists and turns, rushing to the edge of the Yellow Sea with huge waves, like a golden steel dragon, appearing in a recumbent posture with amazing courage In front of the world.

The live camera zoomed in again.

A group of ancient human shadows appeared.

"Which one is the Great Yu who saved the world?" Someone asked on the Internet.

No one answered.

Because everyone's eyes are carefully focused on the camera, the behavior and clothing of the group of ancient people and the people of this Chinese ethnic group make people curious.

Humans 4000 years ago.

What exactly are you wearing?For a long time, it has been a mystery to future generations, and it is difficult for even the most powerful experts to verify it.

I'm afraid it will hit many people's eyes.

people at that time.

Wearing animal skins, wearing grass blades, bare feet, disheveled hair...

In fact?

It's not the same thing at all.

At this moment, Lin Feng led everyone to witness this historical moment.

these ancients.

Most of them are dressed in sackcloth, although it looks like sackcloth, but it has a fashionable effect of "playing the tide".

Because they use tattoos, makeup, jewelry, jade and other colorful decorations to decorate their bodies.

In addition, their hairstyles are not disheveled. Some have short-cut hair, braided hair that hangs back, headbands made of pig fangs, hair tied with bone sticks, or buns on top of their heads...

His image, from a certain aspect, is not inferior to modern people.

a time.

The network barrage immediately skyrocketed.

"My eyes are right, right? Those few seem to be wearing ancient silk and satin? Did such exquisite costumes exist in the Dayu era?"

"It should be an ancient costume, and the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated."

"What is Zhonghua? Zhong means the Central Plains and refers to the birthplace of our oriental civilization; Hua means luxurious and beautiful. It means that the costumes of our Huaxia people are beautiful and pretend to be "hua"."

"The ancestors are sincere and don't deceive me!"

"Who would have thought that thousands of years ago, there were such exquisite costumes."

"I'll go, who just said that in the era of Dayu, you were still drinking blood? Get out, I won't kill you."

"What are these people gathered on the water's edge, armed with wooden spears, what are they going to do?"

"I guess you're going to go fishing?"

"But, who is Dayu who doesn't enter the family of the Three Kingdoms?"

……

Guangtai Building.

I was also shocked by the scene in the live broadcast.

Where did Lin Feng capture such a dreamlike magnificent mountain and river scene?
How was it edited?
It looks like there is no sense of disobedience, and there is no trace of post-production synthesis or cutout?

Isn't this a live broadcast?

"I really don't know, does the filming team behind Lin Feng have supernatural abilities?" Deputy Director Zhang Minmin said.

in the lens.

Lin Feng was walking around and came to a tall, dark-skinned man. Compared with other people, the man looked different.

Apart from the vicissitudes of history, his face is also filled with an inexplicable wisdom.

Especially his eyes, like the eyes of wisdom, make people unable to look away.

"Junior Lin Feng, who came from a descendant more than 4000 years later, pays homage to Dayu." Lin Feng seemed respectful and sincere.

That's right.

This is Dayu, the hero who governed the Yellow River and saved the common people.

However?Facing Lin Feng's greetings, Dayu didn't even look at them. He carried a bundle of rough guide wires, carried a pair of measuring rules, and held a sharp wooden spear in his right hand. He strode towards the distance and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, back up quickly, there are dragons in the depths of the water."

Evil dragon?

Lin Feng was stunned for a while. Thousands of years ago, there really was a kind of dragon?

Not a mythical illusory thing?

Not only was he confused, but the audience watching the live broadcast also looked astonished, shocked by Dayu's words.

At the same time, all the audience stretched their necks, wanting to see if there is really an ancient creature in this river... a dragon!

Dayu just finished speaking.

The flowing water below suddenly became extremely turbid, with a lot of bubbles gushing out. People shouted and rushed ashore.

A huge and ferocious head protruded from the bottom of the water.

The waves are surging and the momentum is astonishing. Even standing on the shore at a height of more than 20 meters, I can feel the ground under my feet shaking.

Lin Feng gasped, this is a dragon.

The half-snake, half-dragon head is particularly fierce. It has four sharp claws and its body is covered with scales.

Legend has it that the snake turned into a jiao, named Jiao snake; the jiao snake evolved into a jiaolong, and finally degenerated into a real dragon.

And a real dragon can call wind and rain.

It seems that some ancient myths are not fabricated, because everyone can clearly see the dragons appearing in the water.

"Smash..."

Dayu gave orders, and the men on the shore threw stones and logs into the water, and soon the dragon disappeared into the water.

"Ascension to the altar, adhering to the heavens, told me that Dayu wanted to slay the evil dragon, dredge the waterways, and benefit the people."

People got busy again, a stone altar was raised, and all kinds of things were placed on the altar.

When the bonfire is lit.

There are special wizards who are presiding over the ceremony.

On the other side, Dayu was supervising several "chefs" who were cooking and slaughtering river fish. Lin Feng walked over curiously, and the camera followed.

not far away.

Some old men are repairing broken wooden spear weapons and tanning ropes.

The strongest men guard the river to prevent the dragon from coming ashore.

There were many people, but they were in order. Under Dayu's command and dispatch, everyone had a clear division of labor, and no one was lazy.

"No wonder some people are destined to be famous through the ages, they are born, destined to be kings!" Someone said with emotion on the Internet.

"Today, with Dayu's ability, at least he can be a senior manager of a company." You said humanely.

An area where livestock are slaughtered.

There are many ancient utensils, earthen pots, pottery bowls, pottery, wooden chopsticks, sickle leaves, bamboo baskets, stone knives...

Don't look at it as a primitive society, everything for life is available.

A group of women also appeared in the distance, returning from picking berries.

Life is not easy, and people's faces are filled with smiles.

until this time.

Only then did Dayu notice Lin Feng who was wearing a strange outfit. He looked alert and asked with calm eyes:

"Who are you?"

Lin Feng repeated the first sentence before, "The junior Lin Feng came from 4000 years later and traveled through history."

Dayu stood there horizontally, motionless, but his whole body was bursting with murderous aura.

He heard him say quietly, "After 4000 years?"

This is an age of ignorance that walks with wild beasts and wild beasts are rampant.

In Dayu's eyes.

Turned the weird Lin Feng into a monster.

I thought that Lin Feng was a big mountain monster who came to confuse people's hearts.

Lin Feng said respectfully, "The younger generation is indeed from the later generations. It is a descendant of China, not transformed by monsters."

Dayu naturally didn't believe it.

"Roar……"

Suddenly, there was a roar from around, and in an instant, more than a dozen wooden spears attacked Lin Feng from the air.

Lin Feng didn't move. At this time, he used the system authority.

The whole person condenses into reality.

All the long hairs passed through his body, pierced into the surrounding ground, and the mud splashed everywhere.

Lin Feng himself was safe and sound, like a phantom.

Dayu crossed his arms and issued an order, and immediately someone ran to pick up the spear, and retreated, no longer approaching this place.

Dayu made a questioning voice and said, "Prove that you are a descendant, not a demon, answer me a question!"

Hear this.

The audience was overjoyed.

Host, you have today too!

To be treated by Dayu as a monster that came out of the mountain to kill people, and had to prove his identity.

"The biggest problem in the world, how to prove that you are human?"

"The second problem is how to prove that you are a man?"

"The third problem, who are you? Where did you come from, and where are you going?"

"Hahaha, you guys are so skinny!"

……

"Speaking!"

Dayu thought for a while, then stared at the clansmen around him, and asked, "Is it suffering for the people of later generations in China?"

Lin Feng didn't answer in a hurry, but asked instead, "Is the Huaxia ethnic group suffering very much now?"

Lin Feng could see that although the life of this ethnic group was difficult, everyone cooperated and lived together, and the clan members still had smiles on their faces!
It doesn't look that hard and difficult, does it?

"How is it not bitter?"

"Among the ethnic groups, due to illness, wild animals, and natural disasters, the average life expectancy is less than [-], and there are many people who die in their prime."

"The things to eat are extremely scarce in the cold winter, and they often have nothing to eat."

"The house and nest of the building can't resist the heavy rain, and the clothes on the body can't resist the snow in the east."

"Every step the people take, they have to pay the price of their lives."

"Since Dayu became the leader, seven or eight out of ten people in the clan have died, how can they not suffer?"

……

Every word and note of Dayu reveals sadness and contains helplessness towards life.

Yes!

In the era he lived in, there were no tall buildings to keep out the wind and rain, no rich food, no medical conditions...

The average life expectancy is in the early thirties, not even below.

I often have to face the death of my clansmen, so Dayu made a special trip to ask... Are the descendants of Huaxia suffering?

His greatest wish is to hope that his people can live a good life and get rid of hardships.

to this end.

He led the people of the tribe to govern the Yellow River regardless of life and death.

in front of the TV.

People looked at the camera, this man who lived in the world but experienced countless hardships in life, they all empathized with him and were deeply infected by his words.

The hot tea and coffee in his hand suddenly tasted bad.
