Explanation of "Overseas Eastern Classics":

The "Overseas Eastern Classics" was explored from south to north along the eastern coast, and its range was from Taiwan to Shandong. The previous version of the Shennong clan might have the Jiuli clan, and since the Xuanyuan clan merged with the Jiuli clan, it was naturally erased.

 𨲠 Hill, there are left jade, green horse, as meat, willow, Ganhua. Born of Ganguo, in the East China Sea. There are two hills and hills with trees on them. The Great People's Kingdom is in the north, and it is the People's Congress that sits and cuts the boat.

"𨲠qiu" means Taiwan, "two mountains" should refer to the Snow Mountains and Alishan Mountains, and "Jiaqiu" refers to the Central Mountains (and Yushan Mountains). In ancient times, there was no mountain range, so "hill" was often used For example, the "Great Wild West Classic" used "Kunlun Hill" to describe the Himalayas.

Both the Great Wilderness Classic and the Overseas Classic are recorded in the same way. Therefore, the Fuxi clan who first discovered and recorded Taiwan should be about 8,000 years ago.

"There are trees on it" is nonsense? of course not! Ancient written records are not easy, and it is unlikely to write nonsense. Perhaps it was the discovery of man-made traces such as planting or piling. In other words, the aborigines in Taiwan either did not meet or did not show their faces; the aborigines in Lanyu still have the skill of canoeing, so the time for cross-strait communication is far longer than expected. earlier.

 The country of Qingqiu is in the north, and its fox has four legs and nine tails.

Isn't "four-legged" nonsense? Isn't "Nine Tails" youkai? This is a matter of understanding. Those who don’t accept it think that the power is crazy, and those who can accept it are regarded as a strange anecdote; however, “four legs and nine tails” only describes the length, not the number of records. Therefore, the length of the tail is one-fourth of the length of the foot. Nine, that is, to describe the "long-tailed fox" or "short-legged fox".

 There is soup valley below. There are hibiscus on the soup valley, bathed on the tenth day, in the north of the black tooth. Dwelling in the water, there is a large tree, the lower branch for nine days, and the upper branch for one day.

"Black tooth country" should be the founder of "Liangzhu Culture", is he of Chinese origin? of course not! Because of the low terrain of the country, it was completely submerged in the sea during the great flood. After hundreds of years of alluvial water, the sea water receded, and people began to live on it. Unfortunately, about 4,000 years ago, there was another flood, so the place became It's been kept for a long time.

"Fusang" refers to the Ryukyu Islands, "Tanggu" refers to the Yangtze River port, arrived nine days after sailing, and sailed along the island in one day; "in the north of the black tooth" is estimated to be caused by encountering ocean currents. The reason why Fuxi's voyage sailed should be heard There are islands overseas, and it is estimated that there are also guides.

 Yu Shi's concubine is in the north. It is black.
The country of Xuangu is in its north. It is clothing for people, food for fish, and two birds are caught between it.

The most obvious difference between humans and animals is the clothes they wear. "It's human black" refers to dark skin and little clothing in hot weather. In ancient times, the Arctic or Canada, so the place south of Yu Shi's concubine should be tropical.

The way of raising birds and fishing should have started in the agricultural period of domesticated animals, and this skill is still passed down to this day.
