Why are ancient immortals, such as Nu Wa, Queen Mother of the West and Yu Qiang, all orcs?

Mainly because human beings believed in totems at first, and then added them on the basis of totem belief when making up myths. At first, people generally believed in animals around them. Later, human civilization began to take shape. When making up myths, it is probably inappropriate to think that human ancestors were pure animals, so it is also inappropriate to give these totems they believe in. Personification? Yes After all, the open spirit says that human beings were created by a snake. Doesn't that make you feel bad? So are other immortals. If the totem of pure faith is regarded as a fairy in myth, it is tantamount to asking people to worship and worship these animals that have been eaten by people for many years. It's also hard to accept psychologically.

But if you create a fairy from scratch, it is also very difficult. What's the difficulty? The difficulty lies in the mass base without faith, and strive to create a Nu Wa. In case no one believes it, the myth will become a joke. But the ancients really believed in God and believed that there was a God in this world, so we should create a God that can be accepted and believed by everyone.

These totems have a huge belief foundation and are the best carriers. People who believe in snakes can say that Nu Wa is the ancestor of all snakes, so that people's beliefs will not be affected. Many myths circulated among the people are actually mainly spread by the rulers. They spread the stories of these gods mainly for themselves? Add gas field? Let people think that they can rule the people because of God's will. The people dare not resist the gods, so they dare not resist the rulers. If no one has heard of the gods they created and no one is afraid, then they will lose their deterrent effect.

So in a word, the first immortals in China mythology were all orcs, mainly because these immortals were built on belief totems, and totems were people? Ultimate fairy? .
