South China Sea Myth

Li Ping slapped Huang Mei: Be quiet, embarrassed to listen. Yang Yang raised his voice and said: Doctor of Mythology, you are a mythology scholar and an editor of "Love" magazine, I would like to ask you to guide my master's thesis, in addition, can you briefly tell us what is the aesthetics of mythology?

Huang Mei said impatiently: Let's talk, in order to do the decoration company's affairs, several shareholders asked me to go. After speaking, Huang Mei left. The generous doctor of mythology didn't care about Huang Mei's attitude, and said: Let me talk about mythology.

--Mythology believes that myths and legends are stories made up by the concepts of gods, devils, gods, angels, dragons, phoenixes, etc., or some people call them superstition, and some people call them religion and belief. Mythology believes that people have differences, things change, and special people can become immortals. The eight immortals in the eight immortals, which are the most popular among the people, are the stories of people becoming immortals. The legendary Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang have legendary stories. Referring to their stories, it is found that the officials in the myth have a close relationship with the immortals, and there are congenital officials and immortals. In ancient times, the emperor was called a saint, and the ministers who assisted the emperor were called sages, and Taoism named them all immortals. In the human world, it is called human immortals in heaven and heavenly immortals, in the underground, it is called earth immortals, and in water, it is called narcissus. After cultivating, demons and spirits can also become immortals and Buddhas. The immortal system in the earliest Taoist classic, the Taiping Sutra, is divided into six categories: one is a god, two is a real person, three is an immortal, four is a Taoist, five is a saint, and six sages, all of which help Tianzhi also. The gods and men are the main heavens, the true people are the main earth, the immortals are the main wind and rain, the Taoist bishops are good and evil, the saints are the rulers of the people, the virtuous are the auxiliary saints, the people are also the people, and the deficiencies of the Liuhe are also helped.

Doctor Mythology also said that Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi" in the Jin Dynasty divided the immortals into three classes: the sergeant held the promotion of the void, called the heavenly immortals, the sergeant traveled to the famous mountain, called the land immortals, and the corporal died first and then shed, called the autopsy immortals. There are three types of gods, one is high, is the supreme god with personality, and this kind of god is generally the object of worship, often appearing in the form of celestial realm and immortal administrators. They are the transmitters of the important Taoist classics, and they are also the guarantors of the authority of the classics. Such gods include the Origin Heavenly Venerable and so on, and they are the true rulers of heaven and earth.

The other type is the inner god. This kind of god guards the joints of all parts of the human body, opens the door of life, stuffs the dead household, regulates the qi and rejuvenates the body, and solidifies the essence and calms the nerves. There are names, images, colors, residences, functions, subordinates, etc., mainly as the object of inner contemplation and chanting, in order to achieve the purpose of returning to the gods, going to illness and even becoming immortals. Such as the god Canghua word Taiyuan, the brain god essence root word mud pill, the eyes are bright on the word Yingxuan, the nose god jade ridge word Jian, the ear god idle word Youtian, the tongue god is the word Zhenglun, the tooth god is the peak word Luo Qian, the god of the god of the mud pill, the mud pill nine really have a room, a circle of one inch in this, the same service purple clothes fly Luo Shang, but the thought of a longevity is endless. The heart god Dan Yuan word Shou Ling, the lung god Haohua word is void, the liver god smoke word contains Ming, the kidney god Xuan Ming word nursery, the spleen god grows in the word soul stop, the gall god dragon Yao word Weiming, the six intestines and five viscera gods and body essence, all in the heart of the cloud and the heavenly scriptures, day and night of self-immortality. The third category is the secular gods inherited from the ancient religion of nature worship and ghost worship by Taoism. Such deities are often thought to be able to bestow on others in their own jurisdiction. For example, the god of the sun, the god of the moon, the god of the stars, the god of the mountain, the god of the river, the god of the wind, the god of thunder, the god of the household, the god of the stove, etc., are usually sacrificed together. Immortals are cultivated by the gods in the body, and the folk revere historical and cultural celebrities, either as immortals descending to earth, or as ascending to immortals, and do not want to see cultural celebrities end up like mortals into a pile of rotten bones. For example, because of the greatness of Dujiangyan, the temple built by Li Bing and his son has become a Taoist holy place.

Dr. Mythology flipped through Yang Yang's paper and said: Your paper has a novel perspective: "A Comparative Study of Ancient Love Mythology and Modern Marriage Love", which is very good. I thought that "Deer Turns Back", "Xingniang", "Nuoshi and Yudan", and "Hanging Gong Mountain" are all very wonderful love myths, which have an enlightening effect on our modern love marriage.

Dr. Myth said: Our discussion should be divided into two parts. First of all, let's talk about the first part, what is love? Although my own love is not perfect, when I was working at Love magazine, I have been researching what is the true meaning of love, and I think that love is the most wonderful experience of human emotions. In today's ever-changing world, love is facing unprecedented challenges: celibacy, online dating, extramarital affairs, one-night stands, premarital sex, abortion, divorce, single-parent families. How should we deal with these challenges? Is there real love in this world? Love needs to be tasted, love needs to think, and love needs to use wisdom. How does intimacy begin, what drives friendship and romance? Obviously, the specific situation needs to be analysed on a case-by-case basis. Love relationships happen in a variety of situations, whether in the movie theater, or in the grocery store, or on a blind date, or at work, online, or on the phone. However, from a psychological point of view, the first big step at the beginning of a love relationship is always the same: mutual attraction between people makes you want to get close to someone. The feeling of attraction is not the same as love, and there is no guarantee that attraction will necessarily develop into love. However, without attraction, there is no possibility of opening love.

Yang Yang said with feeling: If a person has all the qualities you expect, but you don't love him or her, will you marry him or her? At the end of the 20th century, the vast majority of American men and women believed that romantic love was necessary for marriage. However, throughout human history, we will find that the choice of a mate has rarely been associated with romantic love, and that marriage may be motivated by political, economic, practical, and family purposes, but not by mutual love. Even in North America, people have only recently begun to feel that marriage needs love. In 1967, 76% of women and 35% of men would marry a partner they didn't love but were perfect in every way. Now, most people would reject such a marriage. In order to write this paper, I researched everywhere and found that many Chinese myths are related to love, such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's "Tianxian Pei", etc. are the myths of love, take the myths of Hainan as an example, "The Deer Turns Back", "The Myth of the Volcano", "Furu East China Sea" and so on are also myths of love. These myths celebrate true love, the truth, goodness and beauty of love, and the spirit of hard work, bravery, selfless dedication, and helping others. In modern marriage, love has changed its taste, and people look forward to the mythical pursuit of love.

Yang Yang also said: I interviewed 100 couples, including elderly couples in their eighties, young couples who have just gotten married, and middle-aged couples who have been married for many years. I asked, what do you think is the purpose of marriage? Almost 90 percent of people are saying that marriage is for love, for the sake of continuing offspring. In this case, why do more and more people choose divorce? I went to the court to investigate, and the judge told me many examples, and asked me to go through some files, and I found that there are many reasons for divorce, and some people are
