I smiled and told Zhurong that we might have helped the tribe find a way to deal with Nian beasts.
8.31 million AD, May 9th, Li Yi.
"I understand now. This is how the Chinese New Year tradition comes about!”
"I see. That's how firecrackers were invented!”
"It's rumored that in ancient times, people encountered the Nian beasts 'rampage. Later on, they invented firecrackers to drive away the Nian beasts. I didn't expect our ancestor Li Yi to also invent firecrackers.”
"It's all thanks to Patriarch Li Yi. Otherwise, how could we have received New Year's money when we were young?”
"Haha, now that you say it, it's true. Patriarch Li Yi has unknowingly benefited us children again.”
"A child? Could it be that Ning was a 1-year-old and 300-month-old child?”
Chinese.
The custom of celebrating the New Year had a long history.
However…
No one knew when the custom of celebrating the new year began.
He knew that he had finished reading the diary.
All the Chinese understood.
So…
Eight million years ago.
The outline of the Chinese New Year custom had already been formed.
Academy of Science.
"This can be considered to have solved one of my doubts since I was young.”
Zhong Lu revealed a half-understanding smile.
"Oh?"
"What doubts, Elder Zhong?"
Director Zhang was interested.
"As you know, it was really tough when we were young.”
"All year round, I can only eat meat during the New Year and get some pocket money!”
"So, when I was young, what I wanted the most was to celebrate the new year.”
"One day, I suddenly thought of asking my father.”
"I asked him, Dad, how did the New Year come about?”
"In the end, he told me that it was passed down from our ancestors in Huaxia. As for how it came about, he didn't know.”
"Now, I finally know, and it can be considered to have satisfied my curiosity.”
Zhong Lu spoke as if he was telling a story.
After hearing this.
The academicians at the scene were filled with emotions.
Indeed.
Chinese New Year could be said to be the most important intangible cultural heritage of Chinese civilization.
It had greatly united the families of the Chinese.
It also created the happiest time for the Chinese.
The sound of bamboo cracking was very effective in driving away Nian beasts.
In the following days, as long as the tribes below were attacked by the Nian beasts, they would immediately release the sound of bamboo exploding, and the Nian beasts would be scared out of their wits.
On this day, Zhurong came to me excitedly and said that it wanted to give me a surprise.
I followed him to a bonfire outside. Zhurong smiled and placed a bamboo on it.
Soon, the bamboo exploded with a loud bang, causing many people's eardrums to buzz.
Then, Zhurong said that this was much more terrifying than the sound of breaking bamboo using other methods.
Furthermore, the Nian beasts that were far away from them could hear it and would be intimidated by this voice.
Zhurong asked me like a child who wanted to be praised.
I have to say that Zhurong's understanding of fire is indeed at the genius level. After that, I praised him a few times, and he was as happy as a child.
8.31 million AD, May 16th, Li Yi.
"F * ck, as expected of the Fire God. This Patriarch Zhurong is really f * cking showy!”
"When bamboo is burned, it will produce a huge explosion. Even children in our modern world know this, but at that time, it could be said to be a great invention.”
"What a pity. If this Ancestor Zhurong was born in our modern era, he would definitely be a great scientist!”
"I think if Zhurong was born now, the probability of a fire happening in the country would be reduced by at least 50%.”
"Haha, I agree. After all, he's an expert in playing with fire!”
In the live broadcast room, the netizens were all impressed by Zhurong's genius invention.
After about ten days, Zhurong came to find me again.
However, he seemed very confused at this moment.
I asked him what was wrong.
He said," This is just bamboo. Why would it make a sound when it's crushed?"
Why would there be a huge explosion when it was burned?
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he came to ask me.
Hearing this, I was very surprised.
All along, the apeman's thoughts were very fixed.
For example, they knew that fish would die when they left the water, but they had never thought about why fish would die when they left the water.
For example, they knew that the fruits on the trees would fall to the ground when they were ripe, but they had never thought about why the fruits would fall to the ground when they were ripe.
Why couldn't it fall into the sky?
Even Shennong, Nuwa, and Fuxi followed whatever he taught them. There had never been a case of them drawing inferences.
Only Zhurong now knew how to think about the essence of things.
I call this phenomenon enlightenment!
Enlightened meant that the apeman's thoughts had been upgraded. With an upgraded thought, there would be room for progress towards an advanced civilization.
In order to test Zhurong, I asked him to go back and think about this question carefully. If he still didn't understand, he could ask me again.
8.31 million AD, May 20th, Li Yi.
Once the contents of this diary were out, the entire internet exploded again.
