Li Qianqian turned her head and looked at Fan Jianming and asked, "Why are you discussing national issues with Mr. Aruga for so long?"
Fan Jianming said to Li Qianqian via voice transmission: "I will talk to you later when I will return to the room."
Li Qianqian also said "Okay" through the airborne sound transmission.
Fan Jianming walked to Leah's side and asked, "What are you stupefying here?"
Leah had already taken a bath, and she exuded a fragrance unique to a girl.
She stared at the dragon on the pillar and asked: "I really don't understand why you Orientals adore dragons so much, and you actually carved nine dragons here?"
Li Qianqian smiled at this time: "Leah, the dragon is an ancient totem in the East. In addition, in the East, nine is the largest number. Like the ancient emperor, it is called the ninety-five supreme, and we describe the lofty sky, which is also beyond the clouds. "
"More importantly, Fan Jianming belongs to the dragon in the zodiac signs of the East. If I am not mistaken, these dragon pillars must have been built at the watershed of his career. He had achieved certain achievements at the beginning, and he wants to achieve greater results in the future. Only the success of the people will build these pillars."
Leah sighed: "The problem is that in our West, the dragon represents evil, and I don't know it in Africa."
Fan Jianming explained: “There are various sects on the African continent, but in S, N, and even W, traditional sects prevail here. They also use various animals as totems. It is estimated that the reason is that they are at the seaside and the desert. Sharks, giant whales, camels and totems of embarrassment."
"For the dragon, neither accept nor reject."
Leah smiled and said, "Fortunately, these pillars of you are standing here. If they were standing in the West, I'm afraid something would have gone wrong long ago."
"Oh?"
Fan Jianming and Li Qianqian turned their eyes to Leah.
Leah said, "Have you never heard of a god named Satan in Western religious legends?"
Fan Jianming didn't know at all, Li Qianqian had heard of it, but she didn't know it very well.
Just as there is a mysterious culture in the East, the West also has its own mysterious culture, which can also be called religious belief.
Leah told Fan Jianming and Li Qianqian that in the mysterious culture of the West, God took seven days to create the world and mankind.
According to Western parlance, in the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
Why it was created, without saying, seems very abstract.
The ancient legends of the East are very vivid and full of humanity.
Pangu slept for a long time, tired, stretched out his muscles and bones, got up and stood, and he would break the ground.
The Western legend is that after God created the world, the earth was empty and chaotic, and the abyss was
It was dark, and the spirit of God was running on the water.
God said: "***!" There is light.
God sees light as good, so he separates the light from the dark.
God called the light day and the darkness night. So there was evening, there was morning.
God said: "There must be a firmament between the waters, separate the water from the water!" So it was done.
God created the firmament and separated the water below the firmament from the water above the firmament.
God calls the firmament heaven.
God said: "The water under the world must gather in one place, so that the dry land will be exposed!" So it was done.
God called the dry land the land, and the water gathering place the sea...
The Western legends are straightforward, while the Eastern legends are particularly immersive.
Pangu stood up and opened up the sky, the sky supported by his hands, the earth standing on his feet, and the sky between the sky and the earth.
The heaven and the earth were originally a whole, and there would be damage after they were separated, so Nuwa repaired the sky...
All in all, the legend of the East is easy for future generations to brainstorm, and can improve the picture at that time.
In Western legends, it seems that things are what they should be, and there is no need to ask why, just like 1+1 must be equal to 2. If you want to ask why, that’s just arguing.
Probably because of this, there were more artists and thinkers from the East, and more physicists from the West.
Leah said: "After creating all the environment for human survival and development, that is, on the seventh day, God chose to rest. This is why the work cycle is seven days a week."
It is also said that God has to rest for seven days at work, let alone human beings?
But what does this have to do with Satan and dragons?
Leah continued: "God planted a garden in Eden in the east and put the man he made there. That garden was called the Garden of Eden, and that man was a man named Adam."
Fan Jianming thought that this coincided with the legends of the East. Even the legends of the West proved that mankind originated in the East. The first man was a man, and Pangu who opened the sky was not a man?
Of course, this does not mean that Pangu of the East is Adam of the West. Some legends are based on the imagination of the ancients, and then passed down for thousands of years. Omissions in the process and the added oil and vinegar of later generations are inevitable, but they will never change. Stay true to its origins.
At least we can know that human civilization originated in the East, and the first person to stand between heaven and earth was a man.
The problem is, as of now, what seems to be no Satan and Dragon?
Leah continued: "God placed the man in the Garden of Eden, told him to cultivate and guard the garden, and he was asleep.
At that time, God took one of his ribs, made a woman and brought it to him. "
Li Qianqian smiled at this moment: "This woman is called Eve?"
Fan Jianming thought that the first goddess in the Eastern legend was Nvwa Niangniang. "Wa" and "baby" have the same sound and different tones. This is another amazing coincidence!
Fan Jianming also smiled and said, "Is the snake coming out next?"
Leah asked back: "You know that too?"
"I don't know everything, but in the Garden of Eden, I have also heard the story of Adam, Eve and the snake."
Leah smiled and said, "Are snakes, pythons, and dragons belong to the same family in your Eastern legend?"
Fan Jianming explained: "According to folk perception, snakes will eventually become pythons after a long period of survival or cultivation, and pythons will eventually become dragons after a period of cultivation."
"Of course, pythons and snakes have existed in our real life. As for dragons," Fan Jianming shook his head: "It has become a kind of myth. Some people say they see themselves when there is lightning and thunder in the sky. As you have seen, as to whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify it."
Leah smiled and said: "What I am discussing with you is not about the evolution of animals. I still want to tell you that in our Western legends, Satan later was a dragon, and before he became a dragon, he was an ancient snake. The ancient snake is the snake that encouraged Adam and Eve to steal the forbidden fruit from the tree in the Garden of Eden."
Fan Jianming was stunned again.
Although the East and the West have different definitions of the dragon, the East regards the dragon as a totem, and the West regards the dragon as a sin, but one thing is the same. It seems that both the East and the West believe that the so-called dragon is evolved from the snake or comes from cultivation. of.
In ancient times, communication was not as developed as it is now. They are separated by the ocean and thousands of miles apart, and their respective cultures are self-contained, but in ancient legends, why are there so many similarities?
If it is not for the power of God, how can human beings do it?
Fan Jianming once again believes that the gods in the world are all one, but different languages and cultural backgrounds. The same gods have different interpretations in different ethnic groups and religions.
For example, when Westerners pray, they will say in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In fact, this is the three holy facts, but it is a god and a complete God.
This is like the Taoist Sanqing, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Moral Tianzun are actually just their different forms and manifestations in different planes. They are just one god.
That's the God that the people of the East admire and worship!
