200 miles to the north is Fawu Mountain, where dense Zheshu trees grow. There is a bird in the mountain, which looks like a crow, but it has a flower-like head, a white mouth and red claws. Its name is Jingwei.
Jingwei bird was once the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, named Nuwa. The girl went to the East China Sea to play. Drowning in the East China Sea instead of returning, it becomes a bird of fine guard, and often fills the East China Sea with branches and stones from the Western Hills. Zhangshui originates from this mountain and flows eastward into the Yellow River.
The myth of Jingwei's reclamation shows the most essential and eternal thing of human beings: the fear of survival, and the eternal and unique spiritual temperament of human beings on this basis.
These archetypal themes show the cultural consciousness of our ancestors because of their most basic existence. Living here is just a fortune in life. Because of this initial instinct to save life, this sense of crisis in later generations was gradually postponed to a deeper and wider extent.
Reconstruct the "Great Unity" system of China myth by expanding the data of "Jingwei Reclamation"
After years of letting western magic and fairy tales attack the city and plunder the land, China's book industry is expected to usher in an upsurge of promoting local fairy tales. Following the local fantasy "Jiuzhou" series of books sold well in the south of the Yangtze River, recently, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House grandly launched fantasy novel's "The First Song of Tianweimen: Jingwei Reclaiming the Sea".
Tianwei Jingwei's Gate of Reclamation adopted a dual attitude of conversion and transcendence to China's mythological resources.
The story of daily shooting at the sun in China and Kuafu, and the story of jingwei reclaiming wasteland are skillfully integrated, and a "unified" story system with Yan Di Sun God as the supreme ruler is established for many scattered and unrelated China myths, which accurately restores the positive significance and connotation of China's local myths, which is refreshing and cordial.
According to the press, the mysterious author Zi is a famous historical novelist in Hubei Province, whose long historical novels have won many historical novel awards in Taiwan Province.
The reason for changing its name to write fairy tales this time lies not only in its special liking for China traditional culture, but also in the author's long-term and in-depth study of fairy tales at home and abroad.
He found out? Western mythology has a complete system. Take Greek mythology as an example. Although there are many fairy tales, the name and responsibility of God are clear. The stories between gods are interdependent and complementary, forming a complete social system of gods.
China's fairy tales are different. The relationship between God and God is divided, and so are their stories. Even the name of the most high god is not unified? . "Because of this, he decided to write fairy tales and establish a unified system for the gods in China.
After the first song of Tianmen, Jingwei fills the sea, Tianmen travels to the sky and Tianmen flies to the moon are also under intense creation. These two works will also write the story of the goddess mending the sky and the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, which will be combined with Jingwei's reclamation to form a complete Tianmen series, thus realizing the dream of reconstructing the "great unification" system of ancient China mythology.
As soon as the novel was finished, it aroused strong interest from film and television companies. After being adapted into a TV series by Hao He, those who are good at large-scale production have a strong interest in adapting it into a movie, and said that "the scenes created by the novel are as vivid as the movie pictures, which will unconsciously bring me into that fantastic world ..."
