"In the Beginning: Jedi Heaven Tong" is the third volume in the four-volume series of novels "In the Beginning". This volume is based on ancient books such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Shang Shu". It tells ancient stories such as the confrontation between Yan and Huang Banquan, the battle with Chi You, the Wizards' Conference, and Zhuan Xu's Jedi Heaven Tong.
At the beginning of Hongmeng, the tribes of Huangdi and Yandi faced off in Banquan, preparing for war. Unexpectedly, heavy snow fell from the sky that lasted for seventy days, and the two tribes had to jointly dig a city under the snow. The melting snow caused floods the following spring, and the Chiyou tribe in the south had to seek refuge north. The three major tribes deepened their understanding and formed an alliance in the process of surviving together.
The flood brought an epidemic, so witch doctors from all over the country gathered in Zhuolu to hold a conference. They started talking about medicine and then discussed Taoism, gradually developed their own philosophical schools, and gradually began to argue and debate. Faced with this chaos, Zhuanxu banned wizards from summoning spirits and cut off the communication channels between gods and humans. At this point, the age of God ends, and the age of man controlling his own destiny begins.
Reader comments
A work that "begins with myth and ends with human words". It may not be easy to read, but it is unique enough, full of jokes but also implicit in respect, deconstructing myths but reshaping human dignity.
