Return from Prehistoric Times·don't Miss the Mountains and Seas

"What this book wants to tell is not how saints reach for the stars and the moon, but how mortals cultivate, trade, fall in love, and part ways under the light of the stars and the moon, and how they build their own flesh-and-blood history in the cracks of myth. Here are the choices made by small people in the great changes, and the rebirth of civilization on the ruins. Readers who prefer traditional prehistoric and refreshing novels are advised to proceed with caution. I hope we can find resonance here." Concept: "Return from the Wilderness, Don't Think of the Mountains and Seas" Concept Core: Taking the prehistoric lich's calamity as the "absurd stage", using "the humanization of gods" and "the awakening of mortals" to deconstruct the grand narrative of "must fight fate", proving that "living itself is the most stubborn answer to the absurd" - individual choice defines existence, and the ordinary light finally breaks through the cocoon of fate. Layered explanation: 1. Background and conflict: the absurdity of fate. Based on the classic prehistoric tragedy "The Tribulation of the Lich", it is set as a "preset destruction program": Heaven and the Witch Clan have been fighting for "glory" and "responsibility" for six hundred years, but they have forgotten "why they are fighting". The scorched earth battlefield, the silent confrontation between Di Jun and Di Jiang, Tai Yi clutching the Chaos Clock and trembling - these scenes together construct the "absurdity of fate": the so-called "inevitability" is nothing but the kidnapping of the collective unconscious. 2. Actions and Symbols: Three Dimensions of Resistance • "Returning to the Self" from the bottom: The rabbit demon Gray Ear took the lead in breaking away from the army by singing "Song of Wheat Miao", and the young man Yan of the Wu tribe used "barter" instead of fighting - using his identity as "a tool to escape war", he declared "I choose to live". • The leader's "Don't think": Di Jun left the word "Don't think" and disappeared into the East China Sea, while Di Jiang walked into Zhoushan as a traveler - using the escape of "refuse to be defined by responsibility" to break the fateful template of "leaders must die in battle". • The "song" of the soul: A 600-year-old woman, A Yuan, plays the "Song of Wheat Seedlings" ("Spring Comes and Wheat Seedlings Grow") with her arms in her arms. The singing comes from cellars, schools, and battlefields - using "ordinary growth" to symbolize the "meaning of living" is more real than "victory". 3. Philosophical sublimation: existentialism and absurd resistance • Existence precedes essence: Hui Er's "self-return" and Di Jun's "not thinking" prove that individuals are not labeled as "emperors of heaven/ancestral witches/soldiers", but define themselves through free choice – just as Sartre said "human beings are self-shaped beings". • Creation of meaning in absurdity: A Yuan's wheat field (wheat growing in blood) and sunrise (light tearing through clouds) echo Camus' "Myth of Sisyphus"—in a meaningless war, "living well" is the most tenacious resistance. • Ordinary light breaks out of the cocoon: wheat seedlings, singing, black market transactions... These "non-heroic" details constitute the sharp blade of the "anti-grand narrative" - ​​the cocoon of fate is finally pierced by ordinary people's obsession with "living". 4. Modern resonance: Myths illuminate people's confusion and turn "God's stories" into "contemporary people's survival fables": Di Jun's "Six Hundred Years of Exhaustion" = the KPI kidnapping of workers, Hui'er's "Escape from the Army" = self-awakening of rejection of 996, A Yuan's "Wheatfield Singing" = ordinary people's stubbornness to "live a good life" - the prehistoric "to fight or not to fight" is essentially the eternal question of "how to live" by contemporary people. Condensed in one sentence: "The prehistoric calamity reveals the absurdity of fate, and mortals use 'living' as a sword to break out of cocoons - existence precedes essence, freedom of choice defines freedom, and ordinary light finally wins over grand narratives." Conceptual value: Deconstruct myths with myths, return "gods" to "people", and prove that the essence of "anti-routine" is "return to reality" - people have the right to choose their own way of living. This is not only a "new prehistoric" novel, but also a mirror that shows "how to live" by contemporary people.
