After Shen Cong finished speaking, several experts sitting there nodded thoughtfully. From this perspective, interpreting "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" seems to be more convincing.
Of course, there are naturally different opinions.
Cen Geng groaned: "I agree with the tribal migration mentioned by Old Shen, but I think the purpose of migration is mainly to find water.
At first glance, this work seems to have nothing to do with water sources. But if we think about it carefully, we will find that there are many times in the article that Kuafu always feels thirsty during the day-to-day journey, and he is still getting thirsty, even after drinking the water from the Yellow River and Weishui , Still not quenching thirst. In the end, he died on the way to the north of Shuizawa.
It can be said that Kuafu died because of lack of water. This probably means that Kuafu’s tribe was forced to migrate due to severe water shortages and ultimately failed.
Therefore, Kuafu’s goal of chasing the sun is actually for water. "
Cen Geng's interpretation seems very reasonable, and after Cen Geng, some experts put forward different opinions.
For example, another expert believes that Kuafu may be a wizard in ancient times, and that Chasing the Day is just a witchcraft ritual, and this ritual is for praying for rain. It's just a pity that Kuafu finally died in one such witchcraft activity of praying for rain.
So, here comes the question. Since every expert's interpretation is reasonable, whose interpretation is closer to the truth?
Or these interpretations are wrong, or all of them are right?
To answer this question, it may take a long time, or there may never be an answer.
Of course, they can also ask Li Fan or Gu Yong for their views.
However, they think that Li Fan or Gu Yong may not have the answer either.
Because Gu Yong wrote "Quafu Chasing the Sun" based on relevant research and his own reasonable imagination. In other words, the story of Kua Fu Chasing the Sun was formed a long time ago, rather than a subjectively created work by Gu Yong.
Therefore, Gu Yong should also have no answer. Of course, Gu Yong will definitely have his own interpretation, but they can be used as a reference.
In addition, before this, the experts decided to publish all their interpretations on the official website, so that everyone can know the stories behind "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", and everyone can participate in specific discussions.
...
The Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China published several experts' interpretations of "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" on its official website, and it was immediately seen by many netizens, which was naturally a hot discussion.
"Haha! I just said that this myth is not as simple as it seems, and my feeling is really not wrong."
"The Kuafu chasing the sun turned out to be for fire, not bad, it should be that way. However, since Kuafu failed, then in ancient times, who was the first to grasp the source of fire?"
"It may be for fire, but I think Professor Cen’s "search for water" is more appropriate. Without fire, people can also survive, but without water, they can’t survive. Therefore, I support Professor Cen’s interpretation. ."
"How do I feel that Professor Shen's tribal migration is more appropriate. Kuafu's quest for the day is actually Kuafu's migration to the place where the sun sets with his people."
"Actually, I think these statements make sense, so it's better to ask Gu Yong directly."
"I think Gu Yong may not have an answer, because this is not all Gu Yong's subjective work, but he must have his own interpretation."
"..."
The interpretations of several experts have been supported by netizens, and some netizens even gave their own interpretations, such as cherishing time, or not being overpowered and so on.
Regardless, as soon as "Kua Fu Chasing the Sun" came out, discussions and controversies continued. This is the same as Li Fan expected, and it is exactly the effect he needs.
At this time, Gu Yong's Weibo began to appear, asking him what he thought of "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", and even "Li Fan"'s Weibo account also appeared many similar messages.
"My opinion, that's true." Li Fan said secretly after looking at the comments.
Of course, Li Fan also has his own opinions, and it is similar to Cen Geng's interpretation, that is, Kuafu's goal of chasing the sun is for water.
As for the reason, it is related to Kuafu's death, which is also a mythological work that Li Fan will publish next.
After his next work is published, perhaps the current controversy will become smaller.
However, it may also make the controversy worse, which is normal in Li Fan's view.
After all, the controversy about various myths and legends has never stopped.
After thinking about it, Li Fan updated Weibo in the name of Gu Yong: "As some netizens said, I actually don’t have an answer. Of course, I also have my own interpretation. As for what’s the interpretation? I will Use my second mythology to answer it, so stay tuned!"
"The second mythical work?" Gu Yong's Weibo immediately attracted the attention of many people, and it was inevitable to talk about it again.
Moreover, this Weibo has also successfully evoked all curiosity. Everyone is thinking and using the second piece to answer, is it the same as Li Fan’s "Houyi Shooting the Sun" and "Chang'e Flying to the Moon"? "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" also has a follow-up story?
Or maybe Kuafu is not dead yet. In the follow-up work of the next article, Kuafu successfully completed what he was going to do?
"According to Gu Yong's meaning, Kuafu's goal of chasing the sun is really not for the sun. As for what, he will tell us tomorrow with a new fairy tale?"
"This seems to have such a meaning. However, which mythological material is still related to Kuafu?"
"Oh! Don't think about it so much, just wait and see tomorrow."
"Go, let's discuss it, and see who can guess it right. That's interesting, isn't it?"
"Indeed, everyone talked about their own views. Last time Houyi had a wife, will Kuafu also have a wife this time?"
"Hold the fuck! Looks like it makes sense."
"Sister Ni, is there only a wife? Can't it be an elder sister, a younger sister, or a sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law? Hey! You can have this."
"..."
Netizens' conjectures are already crooked.
...
Not only ordinary netizens, Cen Geng, Shen Cong and other experts, after reading Gu Yong’s Weibo, they couldn’t help being curious. Is there really another legend related to Kuafu?
So, which legend will it be?
The experts frowned slightly, carefully sorting out the fragments of the mythological material they knew, hoping to find the answer.
