Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan... These three regions are often considered far apart, but if you look at the map carefully, you will find that Jiangxi crosses the Yangtze River and is Hubei, and Hubei crosses the Huaihe River and is Henan.
After crossing the Yellow River from Henan, you will reach Shanxi.
Of course, in ancient times, the division of territory was different from that of later generations. It was the same whether it was the mythical age or the godless age. Of course, there is one place that has not changed for thousands of years, and that is Tongbai Mountain where the Huai River originates. .
Tongbai Mountain is a 5a-level tourist attraction in the ancient Five Emperors period and a famous cultural attraction. One: the place where Pangu opened the sky, and two: the place where the water monkey was tied up.
As for others, such as the God of Dongdu and Dahuai, the Dragon King of Sidu, the 41st blessed place in the world, the place where Han Xiangzi practiced Taoism... these are all "little gods and immortals" of later generations, and Compared with the two mentioned above, they are far behind.
Among these two bosses, Water Monkey is more famous. Wuzhiqi is the prototype of Sun Monkey. Dayu locks the dragon and suppresses the water monkey in Guishan = Tathagata Buddha suppresses Sun Monkey in Wuzhi Mountain. Even the plots are similar:
Wuzhiqi: I remember back then, in Tongbai Mountain, I was the local local bully.
Sun Wukong: I remember back then, in Huaguo Mountain, I was the local bully.
Wuzhiqi: I built the Dragon Palace in Hongze Lake and it is known as the Water God of Huaihe River.
Sun Wukong: I have a water curtain cave in Huaguo Mountain, known as the Monkey King.
Wuzhi Qi: From the place where the Huai River reaches Tongbai Mountain, within a thousand miles, all the monsters and monsters in Mu Mei Shui Ling Mountain are under my control.
Sun Wukong: From the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, within a thousand miles, all the monkeys and grandsons in the land of mountain gods obey my orders.
Wuzhi Qi: I have a white head and green body, snow teeth and golden claws, my eyes suddenly open and shine like lightning, I am five feet tall, surprisingly big, and my strength exceeds that of nine elephants.
Sun Wukong: I, the Thunder God, have a crooked mouth and a crooked face, yellow hair and golden hoops, and a golden light from my eyes that shoots into the Dou Mansion. I am four feet tall, surprisingly small, and carry three mountains on my back.
Wuzhi Qi: Dayu passed through Tongbai Mountain three times.
Sun Wukong: The Jade Emperor invites me to go to heaven.
Wuzhi Qi: Dayu didn't like me, so he brought a group of gods to beat me. I overturned Tong Lu, Wu Mu You, and was captured by Ying Long.
Sun Wukong: The Jade Emperor disliked me and ordered a group of gods to beat me. I defeated the giant spirit god Nezha and was captured by Yang Jian.
Wuzhi Qi: Later I lost to Dayu and Yinglong, and was suppressed by Dayu under the Turtle Mountain.
Sun Wukong: Later I lost to the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, and was suppressed by Tathagata under the Five Elements Mountain.
Wuzhiqi: If there are any similarities.
Sun Wukong: Ask Wu Chengen.
The Water Monkey and the Stone Monkey, even in the relationship between the Five Elements, are Gold (Golden Gong) and Water (Jellyfish), which directly suppress the Water Monkey to death. This is why the later setting overwhelms the previous setting (Dog Head).
In addition to the water monkey, Pangu, the great god, first appeared in the "San Wu Li Ji". This is temporarily recognized. However, this character image comes from the "San Wu Li Ji", but it does not mean that the myth of Kaitian also comes from this era. with this book.
As early as before the "Three and Five Calendars", there was a "giant" born from an "eggshell" in Tongbai Mountain. There was a myth and legend about "creating the world", but this giant had no name, nor was it called Pangu. It was also said that Pangu had the dragon head and died. The blood of the future is Huaidu. These words in "Three Fives" all come from the ancient myths of Tongbai.
In the "Five Yun Calendar Years", it is said that "The king of Pangu has the head of a dragon and the body of a snake. His hush is wind and rain, blowing is thunder and lightning, opening his eyes is day, closing his eyes is night..." This is obviously a reference to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The setting of Zhulong.
In today's ancient times, the giant here is not yet called Pangu, but there is a legend that "nine changes occur in one day, the gods are in the sky and the saints are in the earth", and what they hold in their hands is not an ax but a wooden staff... ...
From this point of view, Pangu was still a mage before he changed his profession to a berserker with an axe... Sure enough, mages have their limits.
From here, it can be seen that the folk customs in the Tongbai Mountain area are still very simple. They are not overly exaggerated. They are just nine changes. They are still considered individuals. For example, Nuwa has seventy changes in one day. This is a bit too much... And now the water monkey rules here. In order to show his "magic tension", he boasts that he has seventy-two changes in a day...!
Even the Yellow Emperor has a place among these big guys who are good at "change". It is said that the Yellow Emperor has twenty-four changes in a day, neither above nor below, and he is a middle-class student.
The legend of a giant opening the sky has been handed down in the form of rock paintings in the Tongbai Mountain area. The earliest ones appeared about 10,000 years ago, and in this era, these rock paintings have appeared 6,000 years ago. Years old, and the Sun God of the Western Wilderness is a picture of the same era.
Ten thousand years ago, in the middle and late Paleolithic Age, a large number of rock cliff paintings were left in various places in the world, and countless sacrifices were made in that era. Therefore, perhaps those are the years that should really be called the "Age of the Gods" Bar......
Gods appeared and descended to earth.

Tongbai Mountain, the source of Huai River.
Hongzhou's logistics team has approached Tongbai Mountain. It can be clearly felt that the rainfall has increased, the water vapor is abundant, the climate is getting cooler, the wind is strong, the water is high, and the monkeys are roaring.
"Autumn has only just begun. If we were in the south, there would be a flood period after autumn, so we staggered that time to avoid being flooded by the river. There were also the hot days after autumn. As a result, when we got here, the climate was actually better than in the Central Plains in the north. Even cooler.”
Di Fangxun held a wall calendar and a compass in his hand. He looked in the direction of Tongbai Mountain and muttered something to his concubine:
"Azai, you said that leader Benyun and his father are inside. Didn't you say before that this water monkey caused a lot of trouble for the local people?"
Ruanzai responded: "Indeed, when I came here last time, people were migrating. It was said that they were unwilling to sacrifice to Wuzhiqi, so they had no choice but to escape to avoid flooding. At that time, Xiu and I were still discussing whether the flood was The monkey is more powerful than his father Gonggong..."
Di Fangxun thought for a moment: "I think Gonggong is more powerful. I wonder if this monkey likes to bang his head against the mountain?"
Yu Zai: "I also think Gonggong is more powerful. At least most people really don't dare to hit the mountain."
The two men looked at each other and immediately felt that they were indeed close friends. They could talk about each other when setting up the fighting power. As long as you talk about Gong Gong, we will be good friends.
Of course, after boasting about Gonggong, we still need to criticize Gonggong. Let’s talk about it one by one and evaluate it objectively.
"Unlike leader Benyun, Wuzhiqi is said to have no benevolence and morality, but acts in a standard domineering style."
Di Fangxun: "What is standard domineering?"
Yu Zai: "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine too."
Di Fangxun (thought for a moment again): "Is there still a high-level domineering? What is a high-level domineering?"
Yu Zai: "What's yours? It's only mine here. By the way, you're mine too."
