Burst Out Laughing! Here Come the Ancient Gods : Mythological Stories from the Classic of Mountains and Seas/爆笑吧!上
Overview
Step into the wellspring of culture and witness the gods in action up close 走进文化的源头,近距离围观神仙打架 Since childhood, we have heard countless stories. Tales like Jingwei Fills the Sea, Kua Fu Chases the Sun, Hou Yi Shoots the Suns, Chang'e Flies to the Moon, the giant Xing Tian, and Yu the Great Tames the Flood-all come from a remarkable book called The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing). This book can be regarded as the origin of Chinese mythology. However, the stories within it are fragmented and, in many places, quite obscure and difficult to understand. If we could string together these scattered tales, what magical things might happen? As it happens, someone has buried themselves in old texts, put in tremendous effort, and tirelessly accomplished just that. That person is Xiao Zhi, known across the internet as a master storyteller of myths. This book can be said to be based on The Classic of Mountains and Seas, yet it is not confined to it. Its predecessor was an audio program titled One Side of the Mountains and Seas: Tales from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which was immensely popular among netizens. Listeners would eagerly binge the episodes, leaving comments exclaiming how satisfying they were, while constantly urging for more updates. When we transform these lively narrations into written words and compile them into this thick volume, it becomes more than just enjoyable listening. As we read between the lines, a sense of pride and confidence naturally arises within us. Our culture has always been profound and rich-something truly worth taking pride in. Each mythological tale is like a brilliant star, scattered and embedded in the deep, thick layers of our cultural heritage. Our civilization gave birth to these myths, and in turn, these myths continue to nourish our civilization, shaping the souls and characters of generations of Chinese people. 从小到大,我们听过的故事不计其数,像精卫填海、夸父逐日、后羿射日、嫦娥奔月、巨人刑天、大禹治水等,都出自一部奇书《山海经》。《山海经》可谓神话故事的鼻祖,然而这部书中的故事却并不连贯,很多地方可以说是晦涩难懂。 如果我们可以把这些零散的故事串联起来,会发生什么神奇的事情呢?恰恰有人就埋首故纸堆,下了大功夫,不辞辛劳地做成了这件事。那就是全网会讲神话的小志。 本书可以说是以《山海经》为蓝本,却又不拘泥于《山海经》。这本书的前身叫《一方山海:山海经中的那些事》,它是一个颇受网友喜爱的音频节目。听众们一边听,一边在评论里只呼过瘾,又一边不断地催更。当我们将动听的讲解变成文字,变成这样一本厚厚的书时,它就不只是好听了。我们在字里行间的阅读中,会油然生出一种自豪感和自信心。我们的文化从来都是深远的丰富的,是值得我们骄傲的。一个个神话故事,犹如一颗颗璀璨的星辰,散落点缀于丰富厚重的文化积层中。我们的文明孕育了神话,而这些神话故事又不断滋养着我们的文明,浸润着一代代中国人的灵魂和品格。
