About This Novel

Ancient myths are the most profound codes of Chinese civilization, carrying our ancestors' inquiries about the universe and their praise of life. The creation of this book stems from an almost obsessive sense of cultural mission - to reconstruct the fragments of myths scattered in classics into a systematic spiritual epic, allowing modern people to touch the most primitive vitality of the Chinese nation. ?1. Ten Years' Search: Academic Reconstruction of Myth? ? Literature research?: From the strange beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to the chants of shamans in "Chu Ci", the cross-comparison of more than a thousand ancient books reveals the evolution of mythology. ? Interdisciplinary dialogue?: Combining astronomy and archeology to interpret the celestial background of "Yi shoots nine days", and analyzing the relationship between "Dayu's flood control" and the history of the Yellow River through geological analysis, allowing mythological fantasy to take root in the soil of civilization. ?2. Systematic narrative: the modern significance of myth? ? Timeline?: From Pangu's founding of heaven to Xia Yu's founding of the country, sort out how myths transformed into history. ? Spiritual core?: Refining the sacrificial spirit of "Nu Wa mending the sky" and the persistent will of "Kuafu chasing the sun", revealing the shaping of national character by myths. ? Contemporary Echoes?: Reflect on the ecological crisis with "Gonggong Touching the Mountain", and pay tribute to perseverance in adversity with "Jingwei Reclamation".
