Chapter 336 Prophecy Comes True (Please vote and subscribe)
If the first four paintings are the associations of the primitive people based on what they saw, then the fifth painting seems a bit metaphysical, because it does predict things that have not happened yet. How did those more ancient ancestors know that those tribes would gather together in the future?
Of course, this may also be the idea of some smart person. After they were persecuted by the cannibals, they were powerless to resist, so they thought they should gather with other tribes. The more people there are, the stronger they are. This may be their expectation, but it was not realized in their time.
Luo Chong tried his best to find reasons for the appearance of these paintings and refute the inexplicable metaphysical elements in them, but when he continued to look at the next painting, the worldview he had cultivated for more than 20 years in his previous life finally collapsed.
The sixth painting was so metaphysical that Luo Chong could not accept it. He knew how serious the pantheism of the primitive era was. Because of human ignorance, they could not explain many things with science. For these things they did not understand, they naturally attributed it to theology.
The sixth painting describes a totem of a god. The image of this god is not a common beast, but a man, a man riding a one-tusked elephant. Moreover, the god wears a crown on his head and a hairpin. This is so weird. Isn't this Luo Chong himself?
What makes Luo Chong even more incredible is the image of this totem. The painting skills of primitive people are very low. They don't know how to draw multi-perspective polyhedrons. They usually use flat lines to outline. Therefore, this male totem with a crown on his head and a hairpin in his head looks very much like the "Han" of the Han tribe when drawn with simple strokes.
The word "Han" is broken down. Isn't it just a crown on the top, and a hairpin inserted horizontally? The square below is divided from the middle, which looks like the human pectoralis major muscle. The two horizontal and one vertical below are exactly divided into six pieces, which can obviously be regarded as abdominal muscles. There are also two legs at the bottom.
So in summary, this is a totem of a male image with a crown on his head and well-developed pectoral and abdominal muscles.
Hiss -
Luo Chong took a breath of cold air. How to interpret this?
Of course, he knew that Chinese characters evolved from pictures. Primitive people saw something, and then drew what they saw with lines, and finally it became words. But there is a condition here, that is, what they saw. It is not impossible for them to draw abstract things, but they have never seen it. It takes a very imaginative person to create something by themselves.
Then the question is, if this totem only has chest muscles, abdominal muscles and two legs, it can be understood, but where did the crown and hairpin on the totem's head come from? They have never seen it. You know, this was promoted after Luo Chong came to this world. And it seems that the first person in the world who tied his hair with a hairpin should be Luo Chong himself.
If this male totem image can be explained by the evolution of words, then the most inexplicable thing is the one-tusked elephant. If it is not Huishan, even Huishan himself does not believe it. What is even more bizarre is that Huishan became a one-tusked
elephant after following Luo Chong. Luo Chong even hypothesized that the painter had seen a one-tusked elephant and imagined a man wearing a hair crown. If these two images were taken out and painted separately, Luo Chong could understand them, but if they were combined together, it must be Luo Chong and Huishan. Otherwise, where can you find such a coincidental combination?
After confirming that the person in the painting was himself, Luo Chong continued to read on with mixed feelings. He couldn't help but feel mixed, because these paintings were really a prophecy, or a prophecy that had already been fulfilled. Luo Chong and Huishan appeared in the painting, and that totem was still printed on the flag of the Han tribe. Isn't it the "Han"?
The seventh painting, well, how to say it, is about the man riding a one-tusked elephant, uniting many tribes, or tribal alliances, in short, more and more people.
Why do I say that? Because the content of the painting is that Luo Chong is standing in one place riding Huishan, and there are many people behind him. These people are all different, and there are also some wild beasts or strange things around them.
This is actually very easy to understand. Luo Chong and Huishan represent the Han tribe, and the people behind them with wild beasts can be seen as a person and a totem. One person and one totem, doesn't this represent a tribe?
Moreover, in addition to this small group led by Luo Chong, there are many other people with totems walking towards Luo Chong. Doesn't this mean that other tribes are gradually joining Luo Chong's army?
Accepting the previous content, the content of the eighth painting is easier to understand. It shows Luo Chong leading many tribes. Of course, it can also be seen as the Han tribe members after many tribes have joined. These people are all very strong, just like the totem statue, everyone has well-developed muscles and is strong.
These people came to the snow-capped mountains where the giant apes lived along the river, and then there was the battlefield where the two sides fought. Luo Chong, riding an elephant, held the head of a giant ape in his hand, and Huishan's two front legs stepped on a headless giant ape corpse. It seemed that the war should have been won, and then, there was no more.
The painting ended here, and Luo Chong also confirmed one thing, that this painting was really a prophecy, and it was slowly being realized. Except that he had not yet led people to the snow-capped mountains for a decisive battle, everything else had been realized, or was being realized.
Then the question came again. The tribes that owned these paintings could easily see the meaning of the paintings. These paintings combined actually expressed an idea that unity is greater strength, and unity can defeat any enemy.
Since they knew this meaning, why didn't they unite more tribes themselves? They had to wait for Luo Chong to unite everyone. If you think about it carefully, no one else can do this except Luo Chong.
Why do you say that? Because the way of survival of primitive people is there. They need to hunt and collect fruits to obtain food for survival, but this also limits them from gathering together.
Because the game and fruits in a place are limited and can only feed so many people, so there is no room for a second tribe in the territory of a tribe, because there is not enough food for two tribes to survive together. If they gather together, they will starve to death. How can they get along?
But Luo Chong can do it. He promoted the cultivation of crops and the breeding of livestock, which solved the problem of insufficient food for multiple tribes to gather together. So he can become the leader of all tribes. If you say so, it is indeed the case.
