Subverting the Classics: from Journey to the West

　　I think the other party came because he was beaten in the face several times in a row, and he had no face to continue in this Quhai University. Otherwise, how embarrassing would he and Qin Yu look up and not look down?

　　Qin Yu smiled and said: "Okay, then, we will continue to follow Dayu's water control and start talking. First of all, in everyone's perception, Dayu's water control is just a myth and legend, but I want to say that this It is a true story, because of the cultural fault, it has been mythed by human beings, and it is only used as a legend.

　　First of all, this story is also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. We have already talked about it in the previous lesson, which confirms that what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a real thing.

　　To this end, I also specially bought a book of Shanhaijing, and friends who are interested can also buy it and read it. The descriptions in it are very interesting. Come and let us read the original text together. "

　　Qin (bgaa) Yu opened the Sutra of Mountains and Seas, then projected it on the big screen, and said: "The flood is terrifying, and Gun stole the emperor's breath and flooded the soil without waiting for the emperor's order. The emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill Gun in Yujiao. Gun. After reviving Yu, the emperor ordered Yu's soldiers to distribute soil to settle the Kyushu.

　　Yu married the daughter of the Tushan clan, and did not harm the public for personal gain. From Xin to Jia on the fourth day, he went back and forth to control the water.

　　Yu controlled the flood, passed the Luyuan Mountain, and turned into a bear.He told the Tushan clan: "If you want to pay, you will come when you hear the sound of the drums." Yu jumped on the stone and hit the drum by mistake.At the foot of Song Gaoshan, it turned into stone, and Fang Shengqi was born.Yu said: Belong to my son!

　　The stone broke the north and started life. "

　　After speaking the original text, Qin Yu turned to look at the classmates in the audience, and said with a smile, "These are all classical Chinese, some students may not understand, so I'll translate it for you.

　　The original text of this Classic of Mountains and Seas says, "The waters flooded the sky, and Gun stole the soil of the Emperor of Heaven to block the flood and disobeyed the order of the Emperor of Heaven."

　　The Emperor asked Zhu Rong to kill Gun in the suburbs of Yushan.Yu was born in Gun's belly, and the Emperor ordered Yu to lead his subordinates to fill the soil and control the flood to stabilize Kyushu.

　　After Dayu married a woman from the Tushan clan, he did not delay his work because of family affairs. He only stayed for four days at home each time, and went back to control the water.

　　As a huge black bear, one claw drills, the other holds an axe, jumps on the waves in the river, and concentrates on digging Xuanyuan Mountain. It turned out that his husband turned out to be a big bear with a ferocious face, and ran away in panic and panic.

　　Nujiao ran to the foot of Songshan Mountain and finally turned into a big rock after exhausting her strength.

　　Yu said, "Return my son."

　　The belly of the stone statue opened, and a baby boy came into the world.Because he was born from Qi Shi and has a unique talent, his name is "Qi". "

　　After saying this, Qin Yu smiled, looked at the students, and said, "Do you think this is too mythical, and it was the emperor who turned into a bear?"

　　"Yes, it sounds like a fairy tale."

　　"A typical fairy tale of the Celestial Dynasty, the emperor is also a monster, and the stone statue can give birth to a child. Could it be Sun Wukong?"

　　"This is too fake, are you sure it's a true story?"

　　Many students have questioned, this sounds like a fairy tale, what does it have to do with facts?

　　Qin Yu smiled slightly and said, "I said before that the ancients liked to turn some things into myths or into some beautiful legends, and legends are all based on facts.

　　For example, the West is also flooded to the sky, the same legend is that God informed ordinary people, and the Celestial Dynasty has a mythological legend of the Celestial Dynasty, the Emperor of Heaven!

　　Although they are all myths and legends, there is one thing that has not changed, that is, these myths and legends all evolved from the prehistoric flood, which is almost an established fact. "

　　Speaking of this, everyone nodded, which is not bad. Although they are all myths, they all evolved based on the same disaster.

　　"At that time, Atlantis left the earth and hit the earth's continent, causing the plates to break up and flooding to the sky, but the East did not choose to escape. They chose to stay behind to save mankind and save the energy-depleted earth.

　　It was a scene of a century of extinction. Dayu chose to dredge the flood, rather than block it, to divert the flood, so as to achieve the purpose of water control. "

　　However, just at this time, a voice came from below the classroom:

　　"Mr. Qin Yu, what you said is very good, but how did Dayu control the water? Those mountains and other places with dangerous terrain can completely block the flood. In the ancient times when technology had not yet reached, how did Dayu divide it? It's totally unscientific to deal with floods in Kyushu."

　　The person who spoke was a geography teacher from Quhai University, and the prudent teacher who used to talk about Qin Yu in class before. He also came to Qin Yu's class this time.

　　From the last time he spoke for Qin Yu, he knew that this person was not deliberately making things difficult for Qin Yu, but he was taking matters into account with a rigorous scientific attitude.

　　Qin Yu looked at this teacher and smiled slightly. Of course he knew this teacher. This person was called Zhang Tianping.

　　"Mr. Zhang is a good question. In ancient times, science and technology were not developed. How did Dayu and the others control the water? This is obviously unscientific. There are too many loopholes in it. Makes sense.

　　However, the fact is that since the prehistoric flood is an established fact, the rest of the legends that have evolved will not be false, but at most exaggerated on the basis of facts. ".

Chapter 123

　　Qin Yu smiled at the moment and said, "Also, Teacher Zhang seems to have fallen into limited thinking. I don't know if everyone heard it."

　　After saying this, Zhang Tianping was slightly puzzled, why did he fall into limited thinking?

　　Not only him, but also the other students and the audience were all puzzled. They didn't quite understand what Qin Yu meant. There was nothing wrong with them listening. Why did they think limitedly?

　　Zhang Tianping looked a little puzzled at the moment, and asked, "I don't know what Teacher Qin Yu means, please ask Mr. Qin Yu to answer my doubts."

　　Qin Yu nodded and said: "I mean, your thinking is inherent, and you think that the ancients are the age of cold weapons and rough clothes, this is a preconceived expression, have you forgotten what I said, Atlanta The thing about the Teess using horrific nuclear energy to leave Earth?"

　　After saying this sentence, everyone suddenly realized it!

　　"Yeah, damn, Atlantis can have the technology to escape the earth, why can't the East have high civilization technology?"

　　"Yes, Mr. Qin Yu's thinking is amazing!"

　　"Beyond the limitations, this is the greatest strength of Teacher Qin Yu. Whether it is interpretation of famous books or this, it is this kind of thinking that plays a major role.~"

　　"Envy, this kind of thinking development ability-, is it innate?"

　　Many people sighed with emotion that Teacher Qin Yu is too good, and he cannot be compared by ordinary people.

　　At this moment, Zhang Tianping frowned slightly and said, "You mean, when Dayu controlled the flood, he didn't use manpower, but high technology?"

　　"Yes, that's what I'm talking about. When Dayu and the others opened up mountains and mountains, they couldn't just use an axe or a chisel to open up a little bit, but they used explosives, missiles, directional blasting, etc. ."

　　After the words came out, everyone was stunned.

　　Explosives, missiles, directional blasting? !

　　These words are all modern scientific and technological civilization, but now Qin Yu is using it on the body of Dayu in ancient times, saying that when he controlled the water, he used high technology!

　　I have to say, this is just ridiculous, this is what everyone thinks.

　　Zhang Tianping shook his head at this moment and said, "Mr. Qin Yu, everything you say must be presented with evidence. You guessing like this is like making up a true story, and it is difficult to be convincing."

　　"This question is a good question. Let's look at the original text of Shanhaijing first: the river flows out of the northeast corner to travel north, and in the southwest it enters the Bohai Sea, and then goes overseas, that is, from west to north, into the stone mountain guided by Yu...

　　This passage is taken from the middle point of Dayu's water control, and there are many more before and after. Let's look at this point separately.

　　First of all, the approximate meaning of this sentence is that these drinking river water originally flowed to the north, but Dayu wanted to control the water. He did not let the water flow to the north, but forced the water to be introduced into the south. Therefore, he cleared the accumulation of water. Barriers in the middle of the stone mountains, used to dredge the river. "

　　Having said this, Qin Yu paused and said, "As we all know, if we think about things according to our limited and inherent thinking, in Dayu's time, everyone should know that it was pottery, bronze, and explosives. impossible.

　　So the question is, how did Dayu clear the obstacles in the middle of Jishi Mountain?

　　To say that he relied on manpower to dig together and dig through a mountain range, everyone thinks how difficult it is, even if it is possible, but don't forget, this is just one of the mountains.

　　So, if it wasn't for explosives, if it wasn't for blasting, it's hard for me to imagine what else they could do. "

　　After those words came out, everyone fell silent. According to what Qin Yu said, it really made sense.

　　At this moment, seeing everyone's doubts, Qin Yu opened his backpack, took out a few photos, and put them on the big screen.

　　"Have you seen it? These are some photos of Jishi Mountain that I specially found on the Internet. Just from the photos, you can feel how thick and majestic this Jishi Mountain is. The river in the middle rushes past. From the perspective of pioneering thinking, this terrain looks exactly like it was blown up with a bomb."

　　"Fuck, it really is."

　　"It makes sense, it does look like it was bombed with dynamite."

　　Many people looked at the photo and commented one after another. It has to be said that Qin Yu was very well prepared and many were unable to refute it.

　　At this moment, Zhang Tianping said: "Mr. Qin Yu, what you said seems to be reasonable, but if you want to blow up this Jishi Mountain, you need a huge project. already?"

· · · · Flowers 0 0

　　After Qin Yu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "I already guessed that Teacher Zhang would ask this.

　　Shanhaijing Nei said that Dayu wanted to let the big river that originally flowed to the north forcibly blow up the Jishi Mountain and lead it into the south. Then, he needed to make two decisions.

　　The first is to blast the Jishi Mountain, so that the river can be drained, and the second is to block the direction of the river's flow to the north.

　　Only by accomplishing these two points, can the river water flow continuously to the south, which is the real water control. "

　　Having said that, Qin Yu took out a photo again and put it on the projector for everyone to watch.

........ 0

　　In the photo, it looks like a dry riverbed, and there is a huge rocky mountain in front of it, which looks a bit shocking.

　　"What is this?" Someone asked in a low voice.

　　Qin Yu Assassin smiled and said: "First of all, Dayu wants to change the flow of water from the north to the south, which means that the water used to flow to the north, and after the diversion, there should be a dry riverbed.

　　Therefore, this photo is the dry riverbed in the north of Jishi Mountain. As for the piled up giant mountain, it is the rocks blasted from Jishi Mountain. It was placed here by Dayu, blocking the river going to the north! "

　　After talking about this, everyone was surprised, is this true?

　　Qin Yu smiled slightly at the moment, and continued: "In this way, the whole process of Dayu's flood control can be completely explained. This is not a myth or legend at all, but what really happened."

　　"This……"

　　"Awesome!"

　　"It can come back, Mr. Qin Yu is really scary!"

　　"Let's see if the teacher has anything to say."

　　……

　　Everyone looked at Zhang Tianping at the moment, wanting to know what else he could refute.

　　At this moment, Zhang Tianping frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "It sounds like this is the case, but..."

　　"But I can't accept it in my heart, right?" Qin Yu took his words and said.zero.

Chapter 124

　　After Qin Yuci said what he said, many people nodded, it was true.

　　It sounds reasonable, but it is really difficult to accept psychologically, because everyone's cognition has long been ingrained, and it is impossible to completely overthrow their previous cognition in just a few words.

　　This point can be seen from Qin Yu's interpretation of Journey to the West and A Dream of Red Mansions. Some stubborn old antique professors can't even accept Qin Yu's point of view. Although there is plenty of evidence, they just can't accept it.

　　Qin Yu smiled slightly at the moment and said, "This is normal. I have seen a survey data. When the United States put forward scientific arguments to overturn the superstition of God, the data showed that [-]% of the people still believed in superstition of God. , only over [-] percent of people believe in science, which is a very normal thing."

　　After talking about this, everyone in [-] was in an uproar. Is there such a thing?

　　"I laughed. They all said that our Chinese people are superstitious and can't accept science. Are foreigners more superstitious than us?"

　　"Hahaha, does anyone still brag about foreigners?"
