In western mythology fire was given by God
in Greek mythology it was stolen by Prometheus
and in Chinese mythology it was made by drilling wood to make fire
and it was made by gritty friction
In the face of the Doomsday Flood the West took refuge in Noah’s Ark
but in Chinese mythology their ancestors fought the flood and the disaster
If you read Chinese myths you will find their stories incredible
Throw away the plot find the cultural core of the myth
you will find only two word fight
If a mountain is in front of their house, they move it away
Such a spiritual core western mythology does not
western mythology is to listen to God’s arrangement
Each country has the legend of the Sun God
in tribal times the Sun God has absolute authority
Throughout all the myths of the sun god
you will find that only the Chinese myths have the
courage to challenge the sun god story
There is a person because the sun is too hot to chase the Sun want to pick the sun down
Although, in the end he died of exhaustion and
did not succeed
it was because he dared
to fight what seemed to be an
insurmountable force
another story emerged
Houyi shot the sun
Yes, they shot the sun down
The Chinese ancestors used
this story to tell their descendants
they could lose
but they could not give in
The Chinese people up listening
to such fairy tales
The spirit of courage to
fight had become genetic
and they did not realize it
but as strong as our ancestors
A girl drowned in the sea
she turned into a bird resurrection
want to fill the sea
this is the struggle
A man because of the challenge
of heaven and Earth
was cut off the head
but he did not die
but continue to fight with an axe
this is also a struggle
Every nation’s myth has its own brand
but have you ever seen a natin’s myth
has so many stories of the struggle between earth?
Every civilization was theistic in its early days
but the Chinese were the only ones
that did not fear God
Heaven and earth are inhumane
to all things for the cud dog
said is to survive on their own
can not rely on heaven
Chinese ancestors never put
the hope of survival in the favor of God
As a result many westerners say that
Chinese people have no faith
In fact, the courage to fight
not afraid of losing
not to be convinced
is the Chinese national spirit
but also the faith of the Chinese people
今天看到一个老外的视频,关于讲中国人信仰的问题。我仔细想想,我也的确没有正劲八百的信仰,但是却很深信:我们是中国人,我们生活在世界上最和平的国家,我们爱我们的祖国。我们不信鬼神,我们一直相信人定胜天,我命由我不由天。或许就是这种精神,使得我们的国家一步一步的走向辉煌。
