Shen Nong Annals

"The Chronicles of Shennong" is divided into three volumes: Controlling Beasts, Controlling Millets, and Controlling Weapons. With the ancient Shennong tribe as the background and the tea ancestor Shennong (Kui) as the protagonist, it unfolds the magnificent journey of ancient mankind from ignorance to civilization. Kui Ben was an orphan who was rescued by the riverside. He was seriously injured by taming animals and became the laughing stock of the tribe. However, he became nirvana after being struck by lightning. He set traps with wisdom and fought bravely against wolves. He won respect with his strength. He was regarded as the man of destiny by the great priest and inherited the secret treasure of the Xi people's river map. In order to avoid Kui's misfortune, Kui followed the tribe on a migration journey. After experiencing life and death, and tribal integration, he learned the art of medicinal herbs and the wisdom of hunting in the wild jungle. In the life-and-death confrontation with the wolf king, Kui broke through the shackles of the weak and the strong, and achieved reconciliation between man and beast. From the survival game of controlling beasts and wolves, to the budding civilization of controlling millet farming, and then to the technological awakening of using weapons to create things, the novel uses Kui's growth as a context to restore the survival dilemma and struggle of ancient humans, depicting the advancement of civilization from the domestication of beasts, plant cultivation to the creation of artifacts. In the wilderness and wildness, it outlines the original picture of the Chinese ancestors' blueprints and the beginning of civilization.
