 Ou in the sea. Fujian is in the sea, and there are mountains in its northwest.

The country of Ou should have been submerged, and the country of Min was submerged in the sea; "Min" is about in the area of present-day Fujian, how much water did the great flood bring, so that the hills could be submerged in water? As for "Ou", where is it, it was actually submerged in the sea?

 "Historical Records" Fu Jian issued a tattoo, and the left side of his arm was wrong, the people of Ou and Yue. Black teeth, carved inscriptions, but the crown is craggy, the country of Great Wu.

The above is from the argument of Hufu riding and archery during the Warring States Period. Among them, Ou and Yue should be located in Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas, while Heitooth and carved inscriptions should be located in Jiangsu and Anhui areas. However, the ages of the four countries are different, the earliest black tooth, Ou and carved inscriptions are second In other words, Yue appeared the latest; in other words, it can only be said that Ou is near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to say that it must be in Zhejiang.

If the Ou State was completely submerged, the most likely place might be the Yangtze River Delta, which is near the Liangzhu site. The word "Ou" may reflect its craftsmanship. Revisiting the history of Liangzhu: Before the Xuanyuan era, here It belonged to Black Teeth. Later, the Black Teeth perished and the Ou Kingdom occupied this place.

These four countries should be located in the southeastern hills. After the great flood, the water system may be very different from today, but with the mountain tombs, it can be judged that "the Yushui flows out of the Xiangling and the South China Sea." It can be imagined that Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi are already a vast expanse of ocean.

How much does sea level rise need to make the two lakes look like the "South China Sea"? Dozens of meters may work, if it is two or three hundred meters, it is more like, but how much water? Where does all this water go? For the earth, even the earth's ecology is a thin layer of skin, not to mention that it is only a few hundred meters of liquid, but it takes time to absorb and adjust. According to archaeological inferences, it is estimated that it is at least one or two hundred years.

"Insufficient greed for a snake to swallow an elephant" Can a snake really swallow an elephant? A boa constrictor is big enough to swallow a baby elephant; a horse may be similar to a ox, and both the snake and the horse are found in the mountains of Sichuan, and they should have been discovered by accident during flood control.

 The Xiongnu, the country of opening the question, the country of the people, and in the northwest.

It is a bit abrupt that the Xiongnu and other countries are connected to the "Southern Classic of the Sea". Perhaps later generations confused "Cangwu Mountain" with the "Cangwu Kingdom" in the northwest.

 "Historical Records" The Huns, the descendants of their ancestors, the Xiahou clan, were also called Chunwei.

The Xiongnu was to the Xia Dynasty what the Khitan was to the Tang Dynasty. Civilization, cultural exchange, marriage and kinship have always been the method of unity and integration of the Chinese nation. However, it was not easy for Taishi Gong to write such explosive historical materials after the Zhou and Qin locked the country and when the Han and Hungarians were hostile.
