Honghuangliu is completely different from the games developed by Qingyu Company in the past. After all, it has to refer to many traditional cultural things, so a team was specially recruited to provide cultural consultation to the game development team.
According to Dai Wenguan's request, except for a few special consultants from university professors, the rest are master's and even doctoral students who come to make extra money. After all, those old professors are not like research monks who are always free. Keep an eye on the company.
The leader of the consulting group is a doctoral student named Suning. He happened to take providing cultural consultation to Honghuangliu as his graduation project. In his own words, it was strange that no one had ever done it before.
The first task assigned to the Suning team was also an experimental running-in task. It only took one afternoon to successfully complete the goal.
The first work in the Prehistoric Series is currently expected to tell the story of Pangu and Hongjun. In the general background of the story of the two "people", there are three major tribes in the Prehistoric Dynasty - Dragon, Phoenix and Kirin. According to the timeline, these three The tribe will finally lead the collective dog with a Longhan first tribulation.
The first task Qingyu Company gave to the Suning team was to find a suitable title for the beast kings of the three major clans: dragon, phoenix and unicorn.
According to the setting that Mu Jijian has worked out so far, among the three major clans, the dragon clan is the first to rise, the phoenix clan is second, and the unicorn is last. Therefore, the beast king is tentatively composed of four dragons, three phoenixes and two kilins.
Of course Dai Wenquan remembered the names of the beast kings of the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn in his mind, but the problem was that the name Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin sounded a bit low no matter how he heard it, so he left the work to the consulting group. Ask them to find the origin of the names of the three clans of beast kings from Chinese classical books.
For the Suning team, the origin of the name Dragon and Phoenix Beast King is very simple, because there are many names for these two creatures in ancient history.
The four dragon beast kings were finalized in less than half an hour, namely Biao Jing, Chua Ting, Xuan Jing and Huang Ting. The origin of their names was also noted later.
Both Biaojing and Jianting come from the ancient book "Qionglin Jing of Shangqing Immortal Mansion". The original text is "The dragon on the left is named Biaojing, and the dragon on the right is named Jianting. The two dragons are left and spit out white smoke. They are not the gods who stop themselves. , can leap into the mysterious sky."
Xuanjing comes from the ancient book "Dongxuan Lingbao Natural Nine Heavenly Divine Chapters Annotations". The original text is "Xuanjing, the name of the dragon. The real person rides the dragon to the sky, shines on the clouds, and traces beyond the divine side. He transforms his body, so Able to adapt to random situations.”
The last dragon king, Huang Ting, comes from the ancient book "Jinsuo Liuzhu Yin". The original text is "Huang Ting, the ancestor of Huanglong in the middle palace, is about the caste of General Huang Ting."
The three beast kings of the Feng clan took a little longer. In fact, one version was finalized at the earliest, namely Lingfeng, Shangjin Changkai and Changli.
Among the origins of the names of the three Phoenix beast kings, Lingfeng comes from "The Seven Treasures of the West, the Golden Gate Haolinghuang Laojun, is originally the son of Lingfeng" in "Yunji Seven Lots". "The Emperor Haoling of the West, whose surname is Shangjin, whose taboo is Changkai, whose courtesy name is Yaopo Bao" in "Miao Jing Tong Yi", Changli comes from "Zuo Xuan Ming is in Qian Lei Xi" in "Han Shu·Sima Xiangru Biography" , the front is long and then the back is the emperor."
But this plan was rejected by Dai Wenguan. You see, the four dragon kings are Biaojing, Jianting, Xuanjing and Huangting. How come they become Lingfeng, Shangjinchangkai and Changli when they come to the Feng clan?
Lingfeng's name seems inferior if he has the phoenix in it, and the name Shangjin Changkai doesn't look like an orc at all, but more like a later immortal cultivator.
After the first plan was rejected, the second plan came out an hour later. Miraculously, the Suning team did not look for knowledge from Taoist classics, but read the "Old Book of Tang".
"(Yuan Jing) Shao was as famous as Sui and his elder brother Deyin, and people at that time called them the 'Three Phoenixes of Hedong'. Sui was named Changli, Deyin was 鸑鷷, and Yuanjing took the youngest one as the 铓 chick." - " Old Tang Book: Biography of Xue Yuanjing
You see, the three phoenixes of Hedong are naturally of the Phoenix tribe, so they meet the standards. Their names coincide with the dragon formation, so the plan was approved by Dai Wenquan. The three beast kings of the Phoenix tribe are Changli and Yuezhuo. And Yuan chicks.
The names of the beast kings of the dragon and phoenix tribes were relatively simple, but when they started thinking about the beast king of the Qilin tribe, the whole group almost turned gray with worry.
It is true that Qilin is a very famous auspicious beast in Chinese history, but it is famous for its image and ethnic group, but you have to ask what specific names Qilin has, such as Zhu Jiuyin and Dragon Clan? this……
"In fact, it is also mentioned in "Shuowen Jiezi" that Qilin is 'male is called Qilin, and female is called Qilin'. The male beast and the female beast together are collectively called Qilin, so if we want to talk about Qilin's famous name, That’s really not true.”
In the end, there was no other choice, and Dai Wenquan had no choice but to relax the limit, so the trick came out immediately: Qilin looks very much like a deer, and "Poetry·Xiaoya·Jiri" once said, "The beasts are the same, deer and deer." , so the two beast kings of the Qilin tribe are called Yu (you) and Yu (yu).
In short, this is the answer presented in the end. The nine beast kings in the era of great beasts are Biaojing, Chuating, Xuanjing, Huangting, Changli, Yuezhuo, and Yuanxiao. , 麀(you) and 麌(yu).
The nine beast kings have been identified, but if the nine beast kings are used as the final boss, it will inevitably make people feel a bit straightforward. Dai Wenguan's opinion is that a black hand hidden behind the scenes should be set up as the final boss.
After thinking about it for a while, a familiar name emerged in my mind. In the Honghuangliu novel, the being who competes with Hongjun for the Tao Fruit before he joins the Tao - Luo Hu.
So in the final battle, Hongjun faced Luo Hu, so he had to arrange a final boss to fight Pangu. Since there are two protagonists, there should be two bosses.
Suning expressed his inability to deal with this problem, because Rahu is just a star in the sky and has become the mastermind behind the competition with Hongjun for the Tao Fruit. This development actually has nothing to do with the country's traditional culture.
In fact, not only Luo Hui, but Suning also had strong opinions on Hongjun. Although Chai Gu came out later, it was only in the Han Dynasty. Pangu had already officially appeared in the "San Wu Li Ji" compiled by Sun Wu, so Many literary and artistic works of later generations will mention this giant who created the world. In modern times, he has become a great god who created the world. But who is Hongjun?
It's no wonder that Hongjun is unknown in this world, because "The Romance of the Gods" is a literary and artistic work that will not affect the development of civilization, but it was eliminated by Zhong Shanze before time travel.
Now that "Fengshen Yanyi" is gone, Hongjun, the original character of "Fengshen Yanyi", has disappeared. Even if this world has developed its own fairy novels, the character similar to Daozu is not called Hongjun.
So Suning suggested that it would be better to change the name of the protagonist Hongjun to Hongmeng. The concept of Hongmeng comes from "Zhuangzi", which is both ancient and B-style.
However, Zhong Shanze rejected this proposal for a very simple reason. If Hongjun does not appear in a Honghuang-liu work, does it deserve to be called Honghuang?
