Is Dayu's control of floods a myth? Chinese experts have found evidence. Why don't Western scholars

Is Dayu's flood control just a fairy tale? According to the preliminary archaeological evidence of the Chinese History Museum An article on the excavation of Fengdeng Wangchenggang Site Confirmed that Dayu's flood control was not a rumor However, some people are still questioning Dayu's control of floods is a myth Not what really happened Especially some Western scholars they think Chinese history begins with the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Ruins It’s only 3,600 years of history up to today. The great flood occurred more than 4,000 years ago The more important point is that On the oracle bone inscriptions of Yin Ruins There is no mention of Dayu and the Great Flood. Even food that can prove the existence of great water None found Even Western netizens are making loud declarations online China's Dayu controlled floods and was just deceiving people. It is impossible for man to defeat God Dayu's flood control is a fairy tale There are many more comments like this With our experts When studying the geology of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, ancient ruins discovered These foreigners were severely slapped in the face In Chinese people’s own words You foreigners don’t know much about Chinese history. Year 1999 In Guanting Town, Hexian County, Qinghai Province, on the upper reaches of the Yellow River Which village discovered an ancient ruins? In the 1970s When the villagers of which village are working? You can often dig up some cultural relics Some of them are round But the villagers didn't take it seriously. Just wash it and throw it to your children to play with. Over time In which village did cultural relics appear? Naturally, it attracted the attention of the local cultural relics department. Institute of Archeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Qinghai Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology decided to join forces Which village should be excavated? In the process, a large number of remains were unearthed Including Yangshao culture, etc. According to the Hainan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology Home's guess This site has existed for 4,000 years Experts name Lajia ruins One afternoon in 1999 Archaeologists accidentally dug up a porcelain bowl At first I thought it was just an ordinary porcelain bowl But after cleaning up To everyone's surprise There is actually a small amount of gray stuff inside the porcelain bowl Like a white earthworm at this time An experienced expert next to him came over. With many years of archaeological experience, this expert Made a judgment on these gray things What is contained in this porcelain Most likely a bowl of noodles Because when an earthquake occurs The bowl of noodles fell upside down on the ground The vacuum inside allows it to remain incorruptible for 4,000 years. So is this a bowl of noodles from 4,000 years ago? because of the entry of air The appearance of the noodles only lasts for a short while It was oxidized Fortunately, some of the substances remained Found after identification noodle residue There are abundant siliceous bodies of crops and hard-shell plants The content of plant silicon is more than 95% besides Experts also discovered other plant silicon bodies such as starch granules Accounting for about 5% The ingredients are very close to current land and wheat. This is also the earliest known noodle in the history of the world. With the unearthing of noodles Breaking the brick family’s inherent thinking You know, in the Neolithic Age Although compared to the Paleolithic Great progress has been made However, there are still restrictions in many aspects Just like planting crops Neolithic There are still quite a few areas that belong to the savage stage So which site entered the agricultural period? It's already very advanced What's more, experts have always believed that It was already remarkable that the ancients could grow crops. I didn’t expect that they could already make noodles Which ruins should I eat noodles from? Enough to subvert people's cognition What a pity This 4,000-year-old bowl of noodles has not been preserved Just when everyone feels sorry staff discovered There are two kinds of noodles near this bowl Just like Sugli by comparison 99% of the ingredients in this bowl of noodles are wheat Highly stretchable Except for this bowl of noodles from 4,000 years ago Many jade articles were also found By observing the jade artifacts that the villagers have discovered Which site was the jade unearthed from? The shape is older than Qinghai jade Half of a large jade knife found in Excavation Area No. 5 is 35 centimeters long. Thickness is only 4mm It is speculated based on this half jade knife The entire jade sword may have reached 70 centimeters in length Such a huge jade is also rare in the country But it can also be proved Compared with the Paleolithic Age, people's technology at that time Great progress has been made besides Workers on site discovered the site Seems like a disaster scene Just like Pompeii Skeletons excavated underground Still maintaining the last posture of his life But that's all It is not enough to prove the authenticity of Dayu's flood control. During the excavations in 2000 Experts have discovered one after another Human remains of abnormal death Most of them are women and young children The Raiga site as a Neolithic settlement Rarely preserved traces of prehistoric earthquakes and ancient floods This is also the first time that our country has revealed The existence of prehistoric floods In the Lajia ruins No. 4 prevents 14 remains of pork belly Shows everyone's reaction when disaster strikes a mother holding a baby Squatting in the southeast corner His head and body tightly protect the child Above the firepit in the middle of the house There is also a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old He used his body to hold up the collapsed house But such a move is very energy-consuming In the end he was crushed on the fire pit And on the right front A big boy was hit by a falling clod of earth in the northwest corner Three children threw themselves at the adult woman in the corner On top of them there is a young man Experts found through DNA comparison The young man is the elder brother of these three children When the entire ruins of Room 4 were discovered There is such a strange posture in the house But what surprised experts the most was that mother holding child After DNA comparison There is no blood relationship between the two But we can get a message from this picture That was the horror of the disaster at that time and human helplessness The ruins of House No. 4 can indicate that a disaster occurred here So how to get there? It must be a prehistoric flood. in 2001 Experts are at the ruins of House No. 10 Remains of the Great Flood Discovered Prevent a lot of red clay layer from accumulating in the upper part This is the silt invaded by the great flood Underneath the flood soil is a yellow soil layer Overall uneven This base soil layer can illustrate a problem That's after the floods came in The house is filled with mud besides Experts also discovered that mud was pouring downwards There is only one possibility for this situation to happen: an earthquake The ground cracked due to violent movements of the earth That's why the mud is poured down It also further explains To prevent it from being destroyed by an earthquake Although this site cannot prove that Dayu controlled floods, But it can be proven that more than 4,000 years ago Big floods did happen During the excavation process, experts Which ruins caused the disaster? made a judgment Because the earthquake caused a mudslide As a result, the Yellow River was blocked flooded the nearby ruins of Laga Eventually caused a great flood Because of the huge amount of water leading to subsequent catastrophic floods So the remains excavated at the Laga site All showed abnormal death postures besides There are three pieces of evidence in the Classic of Mountains and Seas Points to the prehistoric floods and Dayu's flood control And these evidences All point to the same place, the Yellow River Basin Yao regained his surname Abandoning the people and mourning the honors It was a tribal alliance in ancient times In the period of Yao and Shun Floods occur frequently in the Yellow River Basin To control floods Yao called a meeting of tribal leaders The tribesmen return to the game 丨Responsible for controlling floods 丨He is Xia Yu’s father According to legend, he is the son of Ruixu Also known as Hongbo He was an expert in water control in ancient times. For the stability of the people 丨Accepted the task resolutely He took the method of forcing the palace to block water Enclose the living area with a simple embankment But this method can only stop it for a while. The moment the flood breaks through the barrier It will still flood nearby fields and houses. So this approach is not advisable 丨Also because water control has no results Banished to the wilderness Now when some old farmers are controlling minor floods, A trail will be dug near the flood Let the stagnant river water flow from the channel to other places This method can prevent flooding of fields Can also irrigate nearby crops The so-called water blockage control Compare the two The latter will be more practical But in ancient times Can you think of using obstacles to stop the flood? It’s already very powerful After trying to treat water with no results People are suffering from floods Until after Shun succeeded to the throne He appointed Dayu to control floods Dayu summarized his father’s experience Unblock the blocked area Create a waterway Let the flood flow down the river This place is today’s Longmen Located in Hancheng, Shanxi and Hejin, Shanxi There are cliffs on both sides Because Dayu led his men to dig it. So it was also called Yumenkou Almost everyone knows this story But many people feel that there is no credibility So let's take a look Mencius' Tengwen Palace records that when Yao was floods Flooding all over the world In the time of Yao Mercury retrograde floods China Under normal circumstances, cross flow does not occur But there is one exception That is, the seawater pours in from east to west. There are also relevant records in historical records Dayu dredged a total of 9 rivers If this is the case Then this big flood It doesn’t just refer to the flooding of the Yellow River. It is caused by rivers and lakes Finally, let’s take a look at what is described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas Shan Hai Jing Overseas Beijing Zhong said When Dayu controlled the floods Encountered a poisonous elephant willow He killed Xiang Liu and cover it with soil this place Later it was called the important platform It is also recorded in Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Beijing The location of the heavy platform is north of Kunlun The famous scholar Gong Yuhai once proposed Kunlun Mountains may be the Kenya of Africa Because of the English pronunciation of Kunlun and Kenya Very similar There are hard rock volcanoes around Kenya This volcano is most likely Mount Kilimanjaro And there is the East African Rift Valley Then could it be the abyss of weak water? Near here is Egypt Then the heavy mountain might be the pyramids of Egypt But the professor thinks The place where Dayu controlled floods was in Africa However, this conjecture can be regarded as a guess. Whether this is actually the case still needs to be demonstrated. at the same time We can also get a lesson from these history books That is, there was a high probability of a major flood occurring in prehistory. So did Dayu ever control floods? Famous Chinese meteorologist Zhu Kezhen wrote an academic paper Preliminary study of climate change in China over the past 5,000 years The paper writes China's climate over thousands of years There have been four warm periods and four cold periods in total. The second warm period was around 7,000 years ago This period is relatively long From 5,000 BC to 1,500 BC Lasted 3500 years The climate during this period is relatively warm and humid This point is found in the Banpo ruins River ridge unearthed from Heyin Ruins and bamboo rats and other tropical animal remains can be used as evidence Also in 2000 Experts from Beijing Poly Art Museum Occasionally at an overseas antique market A bronze artifact from the Western Zhou Dynasty was discovered Sin Gongxu There is a small line of text engraved on it: "Destiny and Husband and Disciple" Along with the steep mountains and rivers, there is a poor land Controversy, amnesty and both benefits The word is for sharing famous parents Translated, it means Dayu controlled the floods. Perform sacrifices in person people call them parents This artifact is about 2,900 years old It is the earliest record about the Xia Dynasty and Dayu It also strongly proves the existence of Dayu's flood control Later this cultural relic It has been preserved in Beijing Poly Art Museum In addition to the above In Bafang Village, Gaocheng Town, Dengfeng City, Henan Province The Wangchenggang ruins discovered The occurrence of floods has also been confirmed The Wangchenggang ruins existed in 2,469 BC By 1,543 B.C. About 3,500 years ago The period happened to be during the Yao and Shun period In addition, the ancient river channels in the Xinchai site Flood sediments were also found This period was also the period when Dayu controlled floods. Therefore, based on the findings of various ancient sites and experts, can be sure There was a great flood more than 4,000 years ago Archaeologist Yu Weichao believes that The greatest flood in the world occurred in the Yellow River Basin It is also true that Dayu controlled the floods But there is a question that confuses many people There are relevant records in Chinese history So why do Westerners think Dayu's control of floods only exists in myths and stories In American history textbooks The history of China's Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties Territory marked Can be found on the map Summer 4,100 years ago in the lower reaches of the Yellow River Basin The area ruled is very limited The Shang Dynasty only expanded on the basis of Xia The Western Zhou Dynasty expanded on the basis of Shang Western view Xia and Shang in China mainly originated from both sides of the Yellow River And in the eyes of Westerners they feel The Great Flood in Christianity or Judaism It is different from this test So they doubted the authenticity of Dayu's flood control In addition, it is recorded in the Western Bible When a big flood occurs The West chose Noah’s Ark To preserve the fire of mankind But China chose to fight against God God is everything in the West they believe in god But Chinese people overcome difficulties through hard work So to a certain extent Westerners don’t want to believe it The Chinese around 4,000 years ago You can conquer the great flood by relying on your own abilities but Although there are many documents recording Dayu's flood control, But regarding this issue More strong evidence is needed to prove So Everyone thinks Dayu’s flood control is a fairy tale. Does it still exist?
