An important philosophical or scientific question in our search for the self is "Where do I come from?" My personal view is that human beings are the "ark" gene pool, in the process of transforming the earth, combined with the environment of the planet Earth, and produced a genetically modified product similar to our mother.
In later stories or speculations, I will try to put forward my views as a basis for thinking about some of the facts and legends that are generally accepted in the history of the subject.
The source of humanity?
One of them is: Darwin's theory of evolution, trying to show that human beings are derived from primates, up 10,000 years, 1 million years, 1 billion years, 10 billion years, human beings are the evolution of ape-man organisms, and ape-man organisms, from land organisms, and so on, the origin of human beings is a combination of many accidental development factors produced by the inevitability of biology, that is from cell organisms; The source of cellular organisms is the development of organic biological cells due to changes in the earth's environment and numerous chemical reasons that have no mechanism.
At the same time, in our legends, there are different accounts of the origin of man. In China, which has four ancient civilizations, the source of human beings is a god named "Nuwa".
Ancient books, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Ci of Chu in the pre-Qin period (although the Shuowen Jie Zi records the Wa character in the late Western Zhou Dynasty's Taishi of King Xuan ).
As for the record in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas - The Great Wilderness West Classic" :" There are ten gods, called Nuwa's intestines, transformed into gods, in the wide fields of Li, and across the road ", Yuan Ke takes Guo Pu's note as the explanation :" or as the belly of Nuwa." Another cloud said :" Nuwa, the ancient goddess and emperor, human face snake body, seventy changes in a day, her belly into this god." And take the words of Han Chinese Xu Shen and Liu An as reference.
In the ancient books, the earliest story of Nuwa's creation of human beings is "Custom Tongyi". Although this story describes the deeds of Nuwa's creation of human beings on the face of ZhengNwa's creation of human beings, showing the status of the goddess goddess, there is no doubt that it has already been marked with the shadow of human social changes. "Kneading loess as man" is considered to be a mythological projection of the invention of pottery technology in the history of human culture.
Generally speaking, in ancient Chinese culture, "Nuwa" is the divine place where human beings were born, and Nuwa also made human beings into men and women, so that the mating of men and women can produce the next generation of human beings, so that people can reproduce themselves.
