What is the main content of Romance of Gods?

Mainly based on the story of cutting Zhou. Because Jiang Ziya assisted at that time, Jiang Ziya was later named King of Qi. Because people at that time were superstitious, there were inevitably many superstitious things in the process of conquest. After these things have been handed down from generation to generation, it is generally believed that Jiang Ziya has divine power. Coupled with the late rise of Taoism, the story of deity appeared.

The novel mainly focuses on the discussion of the lack of effective management in the fairy world under the leadership of the chief boss. Therefore, according to fortune-telling, the relevant personnel of these three religions should be counted as people who should experience disasters and then be regarded as gods. So that's all. Some people helped King Wu and some people helped Zhou Wang. Most people on the list had to die, and after they died, they experienced a disaster.

There is a story about how the gods hit and cut.

China's Classical Literature: The Main Content of the Romance of Ghosts and Ghosts

The Romance of the Gods, also known as the List of Gods, has a total of 100 chapters. The prototype of "Romance of Gods" can be traced back to "King Wu Attacks Pinghua" in the Southern Song Dynasty, and may also refer to "Romance of Shang and Zhou Dynasties" and "Journey to the East of Eight Immortals in Kunlun". Based on the history of King Wu's attack on the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the book describes that the immortals in heaven were divided into two factions to participate in this struggle, supporting King Wu's explanation and helping Zhou Wang intercept religion. After several contests, Zhou Wang failed in self-immolation, and Jiang Ziya deified the dead dignitaries of both sides.

Under the guidance of the mythical world outlook, The Romance of the Gods tells people about the ancient national war-the Shang and Zhou Wars. Many important cultural phenomena involved are not independently completed by a certain scholar, but belong to national consciousness and psychology. In this sense, it has the nature of epic, from Pinghua to characters and then to drum words in the form of folk circulation. The Romance of the Gods mythologized the King of Wu, an important historical event in the history books, in order to reshape the image of ancient gods, restore the reputation of mythical heroes, rebuild the genealogy of gods, and make the chaotic immortal Taoism form a complete system: the upper level is immortal Taoism, the middle level is immortal Taoism, and the lower level is humanistic Taoism. It can be said that "Love of the Gods" is a mythical epic that was born in human adulthood under the background of cultural rumination.

This book is famous for its huge content and strange fantasy. Its content is based on the historical background of the destruction of Zhou Xing in Shang Dynasty and the attack of King Wu as a clue of time and space, starting with the opening of Nu Wa's book and ending with the sealing of vassals in Ji Fa, Zhou Wuwang. In these plots, Ina went into the sea to make trouble, Jiang Ziya went down the mountain, Wang Wen visited Xian, grabbed the title of God for three times, and the gods fought, which showed the rich imagination of the ancients: walking on clouds, calling for rain, moving mountains and moving seas, scattering beans to become soldiers, escaping from water, escaping from earth, hot wheels, shooting sharp guns. During the Edo period, the whole book had been translated, and Lu Xun also introduced it in A Brief History of China's Novels.

The Romance of Gods is divided into Fairy Mountain, Cave House and Three Realms. Fairy Mountain Cave House is composed of immortal Taoism, and Kunlun Mountain's "Buddhism interpretation" and "Buddhism interception" are composed of overseas immortals, foreign magicians or animals with Taoism. These three fields are the paradise ruled by the Jade Emperor, the human world ruled by Zhou Wang in Shang Dynasty and the demon world ruled by Nuwa. At a sacrificial ceremony, Zhou Wang made a rude gesture (wrote an obscene poem) to the beautiful Mother Earth. Nu Wa was very angry at Zhou Wang's blasphemy, and ordered the three demons in Xuanyuan Tomb-Millennium Fox, Jade Qin Essence and Nine-headed Pheasant Essence to confuse Zhou Wang and destroy Shang Dynasty. The fox used the body of Su Daji, the daughter of Hou Su in Jizhou, to enter the harem, confusing Zhou Wang. From then on, the nine-headed pheasant claimed to be da ji's righteous sister "Hu" and entered the DPRK. Jade pipa essence was first seen by Jiang Ziya and forced back to its original shape by Samadhi, and then resurrected into a noble king, which brought disaster to Chaogang together with two other demons.

Because the immortal Taoist in Kunlun Mountain committed the evil of the world of mortals, he was killed and punished (roughly speaking, he encountered a fork in the road during his practice, and the fire of Yin and Yang was committed in his body, so he could only be put back into the right path by cutting off the three corpses), and because the Jade Emperor ordered the twelve immortals to be his vassals, the immortal naturally refused, so he signed a list of gods for the three religions of elucidation, interception and humanity, and compiled 365 orthodox gods, which were divided into eight parts, and the last four were thunder and fire. The next four parts: stars, three mountains and five mountains, rain clouds and gods of good and evil. Those with low morals are all on the list. Zhou Wang and King Wu are opposites, that is, the struggle between the country and the world and the argument between immortals and Taoists.

Romance of the Gods can be divided into four parts:

1. Zhou Wang is in chaos. From Nu Wa's first pilgrimage to Huang's anti-business.

2. Yin merchants attacked Xiqiao. From Zhang Guifang's invasion of Xiqiao to Yin Jiao's death, the climax belongs to Master Wen.

3. King Wu attacked. Self-immolation from Kong Xuan to Zhou Wang.

4. Return to China to worship the gods and enfeoffment the princes.
