South China Sea Myth

Dr. Mythology took over the topic again: because the myths circulating in civilized areas are relatively well-known, many people think that the so-called myths refer to the stories of these gods, Buddhas and heroes. However, it is a pity that such myths, which have a large number of gods, Buddhas and heroes, actually account for a very small part of the world's mythology. In other words, such myths are a special case in world mythology, not the norm. From the perspective of religious studies, the myth of gods and Buddhas is actually a stage product of intellectuals in civilized areas who lost interest in the history of creation and began to believe in gods. In this transitional phase, what is known as heroic narrative poetry ensues. Because, then the intellectuals gradually lost interest in the gods, so they turned to worship the heroes around them, and heroic myths and heroic narrative poems began to prevail.

Li Ping has a master's degree in tourism from the university, and she studies myths and legends from the perspective of tourism culture, mainly the myths and legends of the South China Sea, including a large number of Li myths. She believes that the development of Li society, like other ethnic groups, has gone through a rather long historical process. The oral literature of the Li people in the Honghuang era has myths and legends about ancient times. These myths and legends, with their distinctive themes, simple styles, and vivid images, constitute unique national artistic characteristics, narrating all things in the universe and the origin of human beings, explaining the magical world in the era of flood and famine, and shaping idealized heroes who overcome nature. In terms of its content, Li mythology can be divided into two categories: one is the origin of human beings, the origin of the ethnic group and its explanation of some natural phenomena, and the other is to praise the miraculous heroes who founded the world and reflect the struggle between man and nature.

Yang Yang seems to have thought about the mythology of the Li people. She said: In the period of human ignorance, the ancestors of the Li nationality were dominated by the concept of animism and made a romantic explanation of the generation of the world through naïve and fantastical imagination. I personify all the forces of nature, and I hope that there will be an extraordinary hero in the world who will drive away disasters and create a natural environment suitable for human beings in accordance with people's ideals. The image of Hercules shines with the ideological brilliance of labor to create the world, and is the embodiment of the bravery and wisdom of the Li people.

Li Ping said: The myth of "Tengu" tells the story of the origin of human beings. This myth of animals as the ancestors reflects a simple and simple evolutionary concept: man was not created by the Emperor of Heaven, but was transformed by animals. Man is the primate of all things, the core of the world system. How did human beings originate? This mysterious question about human beings themselves has caused the ancestors of the Li nationality to gallop rich in fantasy and imagination, and created many intoxicating and fascinating myths.

"Long Worker Fishing Dragon" tells the story of a long-term worker who works long for the landlord, after experiencing the cruel exploitation of himself and his fellow villagers by the landlord, he takes various methods to punish the landlord, and finally makes the landlord die slowly, but the landlord does not know it at all. "Smart Little Changgong" tells the story of an orphan who works as a long-term worker in the landlord's house, herding cattle for the landlord's family all day long, but he can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing. One day, the orphan went to ask the landlord why he didn't give him good food and clothing. The landlord said that he was young and had a long life, so he could eat slowly in the future, while the landlord was old and his days were not long, so of course he had to eat better. The next day, the landlord got up and saw a few calves in the cattle pen, he was very angry, and accused the little chief worker of not letting the calf go to graze, and the little chief worker replied that the calf was still small, and it didn't matter if he ate less, and he would eat it slowly in the future, because the old cow was old and was dying, and he should eat more. The clever little long-term worker was speechless.

Speaking of this, Dr. Myth glanced at Li Ping and also at Yang Yang. He said: According to your professional needs and research needs, it is necessary for you to study what the myth of love is.

Li Ping and Yang Yang both listened with great interest to the knowledge of mythology from the doctor of mythology, and interjected from time to time to discuss. Dr. Li Ping said: We are interested in the myth of love, can Dr. Shi talk about it? Dr. Myth said: I hope we can discuss it together through the love myth tourism activities.

Yang Yang said: If marriage is one of the major events in life, then divorce is one of the major changes in life. Therefore, it is not surprising that some people are depressed after marriage, suffer from mental illness, or cancer. Because mental illness is a mental disease, although there are environmental influences, dietary influences, the most important thing is the adverse effects of the mind.

After they came out of the hotel, they drove to Luhuitou Scenic Spot to improve their travel planning. Yang Yang said: I am writing my master's thesis, please don't forget to revise my thesis. Li Ping retaliated: You simply call Dr. Shi your uncle and let him write it for you.

Yang Yang said: You are embarrassed by what I said just now, and you are here to take revenge on me now. Besides, Dr. Shi is 20 years older than me, so you can call him uncle. Dr. Myth said: In response to your actions to save me, not to mention the two talented women, I can revise the paper for Yang Yang. Tour guide Li Ping: I didn't expect that Dr. Myth still has a humorous and chivalrous side.

Dr. Myth said: No problem, it's just a revision, not to mention that I have also helped people write doctoral dissertations before, and there is a director of the authority. The director was not angry and was dismissed from his post because he was a corrupt official. Li Ping said: This is called academic corruption.

Dr. Myth said: yes, I'm ashamed to think about it. In addition, I would like to ask you, have you ever heard of the treasure sword, the treasure hoe, or the magic clothes? Li Ping replied: I have heard a lot about the legends of the treasure knife and the treasure hoe, but I have not seen it by fate. The magic suit has just been developed, and let's let the South China Sea Travel Agency test it, but we haven't seen it yet.

Yang Yang said: Now many Chinese and foreign tourists come to Hainan to look for treasure knives, treasure hoes, and magic clothes. Doctor Myth said: I am the same, but each has its own purpose.
