How did the blind editors of the Shang Dynasty "Shan Hai Jing" rationalize their "authority"? Are the brainless annotations of the Shanhaijing in the past dynasties all done by the "erudite Hongru"? Why are there a large number of Western human bones found in the Yin-Shang ruins and the first emperor's mausoleum?
"Overseas Southern Classic" states that between the six and the four seas, the sun and the moon are used to illuminate it, the stars to pass through it, and the four seasons to be recorded. , only the sages can pass the way.

"What is contained in the earth... What is required is Taisui" at first glance like a statement from the Yin-Yang family, "Born by the gods, the things are alien" is an endorsement of the rationality of its annotations, and he has not forgotten to put gold on his face "Only the saints can pass the way," enough to imagine that at that time, these scholars of ghosts and spirits should have the same status as the popes and priests in the Middle Ages of the West.

In addition to the countless "appreciation seals" stamped by ghost scholars in the Shang Dynasty, a lot of them were stamped in the Han Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, and even the Qing Dynasty. Usually, there are redundant names and explanations, and a lot of useless information is not only covered up. After reading the original work, it makes future generations confused who the actual author is.

 "The Great Wilderness Classic" has the country of Zhongrong. Di Junsheng Zhongrong.... There is a country of white people. Di Junsheng…. A country with black teeth. Di Junsheng…. There is a country of people. Emperor Shun was born without sexual immorality, and he descended to the place where he was called. There is the country of Beidi. The grandson of the Yellow Emperor is called Shi Jun, Shi Jun gave birth to Bei Di...

There are a bunch of explanations of country names, but all of them have nothing to do with the content of "The Great Wilderness Classic". Zhongrong, Baimin, Heiji, Yumin, Beidi... are all temporary names given by Fuxi. , Use the features for those with features, or use the names of the team members for those without features, but the Confucians insist on annotating them in the text.

 In "The Great Wilderness Classic", there are people who are trapped in the Republic of China, and they eat by hooking their surnames. Someone called Wang Hai, who manipulates a bird with both hands and eats its head. Wang Hai entrusted Yu Youyi and Hebo to serve cattle. There are those who are easy to sneak out, serve the country to the beasts, and eat them, and they are called shaking people. Emperor Shun gave birth to drama, and drama gave birth to shaking people.

Not only did the original author not let it go, but even the nonsense content of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was also annotated. Among them, the letter "You are in trouble in the Republic of China" is the original work, and it is called a great country in the north, the Gulf of Mexico in the west, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Caribbean Sea in the south. For "the impoverished people"; "hook the surname and eat...the name is shake people" is the later graffiti, "the emperor Shun produces opera, and the drama produces shake people" is a Confucian commentary.

In fact, the "erudite Hongru" who only know the Confucian classics are also very helpless. This is the task explained above. It is not as profitable as the Shang Dynasty ghost scholars, and they have to annotate these strange novels, which is really a great grievance. But the "Shan Hai Jing" is too important, even if one of the ten sentences is correct, it can also benefit a lot from it.

A large number of Western human remains have been unearthed in the Yin and Shang ruins, and many Western craftsmen have also been excavated in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which is enough to show that the communication between the East and the West was not so closed before the Han Dynasty. They were all regarded as barbarians and Rong Di, so that the lords of the Central Plains began to restrict themselves, but why was Qin not restricted?

Because Qin was also regarded as a Rong Di, the princes of the Central Plains even built the Great Wall to isolate them from Qin, which led to Duke Qin's shame and anger, and finally, Qin conquered the princes of the Central Plains in a brutal way. The construction of the Great Wall made China completely cut off from the world.

Qin Shihuang is not a real Qin person, not that he is the son of Lu Buwei, but that he was born and raised in the state of Zhao, and his ideology has long been planted with pedantic seeds. After 500 years of Jinling, there is a saying that the emperor's spirit has destroyed the feng shui of the place, not to mention the prevention of its demise. Of course, the Great Wall must be built to close the country!
