Chapter 1627 Trinity
Li Qianqian turned around and looked at Fan Jianming and asked, "Why are you discussing national affairs with Mr. Aruga for so long?"
Fan Jianming sent a voice transmission from the air and said to Li Qianqian: "I will talk to you in detail when I get back to my room later."
Li Qianqian also said "Okay" by using voice transmission from the air.
Fan Jianming walked to Leah and asked, "Why are you stunned here?"
Leah had already taken a shower and her whole body exuded a unique fragrance of a girl.
She stared at the dragon on the pillar and asked, "I really can't understand why you orientals admire dragons so much, and you, you actually carved nine dragons here?"
Li Qianqian smiled and said, "Leya, 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 Supreme Nine Five. When we describe the lofty sky, it is also beyond the sky."
"More importantly, Fan Jianming is a dragon in the zodiac sign of the East. If I guess correctly, these dragon pillars must have been built in the watershed of his career. He has achieved certain achievements at the beginning and wanted to achieve greater success in the future, so that people can build these pillars."
Lea sighed: "The problem is in our West, dragons represent evil, and I don't know it in Africa."
Fan Jianming explained: "There are various sects on the African continent, but traditional sects are prevalent in S, N and even W countries. They also use various animals as totems, probably because they are located on the seaside and deserts. Most of them are sharks, giant whales, camels and wrinkles totems."
"Neither accept nor reject the dragon."
Lea smiled and said, "Fortunately, these pillars are standing here. If they were standing in the West, there would have been a problem."
"oh?"
Fan Jianming and Li Qianqian both turned their attention to Leah.
Leah said, "Have you ever heard of a god named Satan in Western religious legends?"
Fan Jianming had no idea at all. Li Qianqian had heard of it, but she didn't know it very well.
Just like the East has a mysterious culture, the West also has its own mysterious culture, which can also be called religious beliefs.
Lea told Fan Jianming and Li Qianqian that in the mysterious Western culture, God spent seven days creating the world and humanity.
According to the Western saying, at first, God created the heaven and earth.
Why creation, without saying it, seems very abstract.
Ancient legends in the East are very vivid and full of humanistic atmosphere.
Pangu has been sleeping for a long time and is tired. He has to stretch his muscles and bones, get up and stand, and he will be able to create the world.
The legend in the West is that after God created the heaven and earth, the earth was empty and chaotic, and there was darkness in the abyss, and the spirit of God was running on the water.
God said, "There must be light!" Then there will be light.
God saw that light was good, so he separated the light and darkness.
God calls light day and dark night. So there is night and morning.
God said, "There must be a sky among all the waters, separate the water from the water!" That's how it was done.
God created the sky, separating the water below the sky from the water above the sky.
God calls the sky the sky.
God said, "The water of the world should be gathered together to expose the dry land!" That's how it was done.
God calls dry land the land, and the gathering of water the sea...
Western legends are straightforward, while Eastern legends make people feel particularly immersive.
Pangu stood up and created the world. The one who supported the sky with his hands, the earth standing with his feet, and the sky between the sky is the sky.
The world was originally a whole, and there would definitely be damage after separation, so Nuwa repaired the sky...
In short, the legend of the East is easy for future generations to make up for imagination and can perfect the pictures of the time.
Western legends seem to be like that, so there is no need to ask why, just like 11 must be equal to 2. If you ask why, it is arguing.
Perhaps because of this, there were more artists and thinkers in the ancient East, while there were more physicists in the West.
Leah said: “After creating all environments for human survival and development, on the seventh day, God chose to rest, which is why he worked seven days a week.”
That's right, God has to rest for seven days, let alone humans?
But what does this have to do with Satan and the dragon?
Leah continued, “God planted a garden in Eden in the east and placed the people he made. That garden was called the Garden of Eden, and that man was a man named Adam.”
Fan Jianming thought that this was a coincidence of the legends of the East. Even the legends of the West proved that human beings originated in the East. The original people were men, and Pangu, who opened the sky, wasn’t it a man?
Of course, this does not mean that Pangu in the East is Adam in the West. Some legends are based on the imagination of the ancients and then passed down for thousands of years. The omissions in the process and the addition of fuel to the fire in later generations are inevitable, but they will never leave their roots.
At least we can know that human civilization originated in the East, and the first person standing between heaven and earth was a man.
The problem is, to now, it seems that there is nothing to do with Satan or the dragon?
Leah continued, “God placed the man in the Garden of Eden, and told him to farm and guard the garden. When he was sleeping, God took one of his ribs and made a woman to bring before him.”
Li Qianqian smiled and said, "This woman is Eve?"
Fan Jianming thought that the first goddess in the legend of the East was called Nuwa Niangniang, and "Wa" and "Wa" were homophones and different tones, which was another amazing coincidence!
Fan Jianming also smiled and said, "Will that snake come out next?"
Lea asked back, “You know, too?”
"I don't know it all, but I've heard of the stories of Adam, Eve and the Snake in the Garden of Eden."
Lea smiled and said, "In your Eastern legend, are snakes, pythons, and dragons a family animal?"
Fan Jianming explained: "According to folk perception, after a long period of survival or cultivation, snakes will eventually become pythons, and after a period of cultivation, pythons will eventually become dragons."
"Of course, pythons and snakes have existed in real life until now. As for dragons," Fan Jianming shook his head: "It has become a myth. Some people say that they saw it with their own eyes when lightning and thunder in the sky. As for whether it is a fact, it is impossible to verify."
Leah smiled and said, "What I am discussing with you now is not the evolution of animals, but I still want to tell you that in our Western legend, Satan was the dragon. Before he became a dragon, he was an ancient snake. This ancient snake was the snake that encouraged Adam and Eve to steal the forbidden fruit on the tree in the Garden of Eden."
Fan Jianming was stunned again.
Although the East and the West have different definitions of dragons. The East regards dragons as totems and the West regard dragons as sins, one thing is the same. It seems that both the East and the West believe that the so-called dragons evolved from snakes or practiced.
In ancient times, it was not as well-developed as it is now. It was thousands of miles apart from the ocean, and its own cultures were integrated. But why did there be so many similarities in ancient legends?
If it weren't for the power of God, how could humans do it?
Fan Jianming once again believed that the gods in the world are one, but they have different languages and cultural backgrounds. The same gods have different interpretations in different ethnic groups and religions.
For example, when Westerners pray, they say that in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In fact, these three saints are actually a God and a perfect God.
This is like the Taoist Three Pure Land, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun is actually the different forms they show in different planes, and they are a god.
