Chapter 1: Sunrise in the East

The world is too big, so big that it is boundless, and the world is too small, so small that it can contain an boundless world. The sun, moon, mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and all living things, cycle over and over again. In the end, I may still not be able to figure out who is with me.
In the middle, or am I in you, or do not interfere with each other, but there is something wonderful that fascinates me. Maybe this is not the other's original appearance, but just a human being who "can" think.
After reaching a certain point, the imagination ran wild, and the following long-buried story emerged. "A long time" is not an exaggeration, at least not 33 years, tens of thousands of years? It should be longer than this, longer than imagined!
that year……
"It's that pottery 'Sun and Moon Mountain' symbol again"! Yan Xun woke up from his nap and talked to himself.
"Why do the pottery symbols unearthed from the Lingyang River in Ju County, my hometown, often appear in dreams as long as I can remember?" Yan Xuan thought to himself, slumped on the bed, and frowned again. It was obvious that he was very distressed by this.
Yan Xuan, whose full name is Li Yanxuan, was born in Beijing and is originally from Ju County, Shandong Province. He is about 1.75 meters tall and on the thin side. He is 24 years old and is a second-generation North Piao drifter. Because he did not have a Beijing household registration, he had to return to his hometown of Shandong to prepare for the college entrance examination when he was a sophomore in high school.
However, he took the exam for two consecutive years before he was admitted to the resource exploration engineering major of China University of Petroleum (Beijing), which he had longed for, and successfully obtained the opportunity to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D.
Standing up, Hula put on a white T-shirt and black pants, put on her slippers and walked out. However, before the dormitory door was closed, Yan Xuan turned back to the bed, unplugged the mini fan directly, and then felt relieved.
dormitory.
In early August, the China University of Petroleum in Changping, Beijing, was also very hot and annoying! Especially at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, there were not many people on the campus during the summer. At this time, except for Zhizhi and Yan Xuan, there were no other moving creatures.
Fortunately, the laboratory building of the University of Petroleum and the dormitory for doctoral students were only separated by a road. Yi Xuan ran into the geophysical laboratory on the 12th floor of the centrally air-conditioned South Campus Experimental Building. During the first summer vacation of the Ph.D., Yi Xuan and his supervisor applied for
There is a lot of data to analyze for the research project, and he has no girlfriend to worry about, so this summer, Yan Xun plans to stay in the laboratory and work on the project.
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Xun thought of the "Sun Moon Mountain" Tao text in his dream at noon. He was already very familiar with this Tao text, but the frequency of its appearance in dreams in the past six months was much higher than before. Could this Tao text have something to do with it?
What hint? At this time, Yi Xun recalled a sentence that his grandfather often told him to remember when he was a child: the sun rises in the East House. This is an ancestral saying passed down by our ancestors in Chengdu, Sichuan in the mid-Yuan Dynasty.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the tribesmen migrated eastward according to the ancestral instructions. Because there is a mountain named Wulougu eight kilometers due east of Jucheng, the tribesmen settled at Tumen, west of Jucheng, and have multiplied to this day. However, no one knows the deeper meaning.
It should be remembered from generation to generation! But what is the connection between this ancestral precept and Tao Wen? Yi Xun fell into endless trouble again.
Venus is shining with a thief light, making a last stand against the day. The fish belly in the east is white but does not show its face, constantly devouring the night behind Venus, but the thief light has not weakened at all. Right in front is the extremely symmetrical mountain shadow of House Tower Gu, in the east
Set against the white color of the fish belly and the surrounding low hills, it becomes even more majestic and awe-inspiring.
Suddenly, thousands of rays of rays of light burst out from the black mountain shadow and pierced the dark night. The mountain shadow gradually blurred, and a dawn sun burst out directly above the mountain top. Just when the sun was about to pass over the mountain top, the light gradually faded and merged with the sky and the earth. At this time, the mountain
The perfect combination with the sun, isn't it the Sun and Mountain in Tao Wen's "Sun and Moon Mountain"? But where did the "moon" go?
The more Yu Xun thought about it, the less he understood. Why did our ancestors add a crescent moon between the sun and the mountain? Could it be that the sun and moon rose at the same time? Six thousand years ago, around a certain spring and autumn equinox, there was an astronomical wonder of an eclipse.
?So the ancestors used pottery to record the wonders and passed them on to future generations?
Searching the eclipse table, it is difficult to match the time and location.
"What secret does the "Sun Moon Mountain" Tao Wen hide? What is it trying to express?" Yi Xun raised his head buried in his arms and looked north towards the huge steel ball in the library. The last ray of sunlight slowly passed by.
Night finally came. He decided to put Tao Wen aside and have dinner first.
"Junior brothers, who is going to the Sunshine Restaurant to eat braised beef ramen?" Yi Xun finally raised his voice all afternoon...
After dinner, Yan Xun simply returned to the dormitory, turned on the power of the mini fan and lay down directly.
It might be better to go on a field trip to the Ming Tombs Reservoir tomorrow, enjoy the mountains, play in the water and relax. Tour, tour guide, explanation!
Volunteer docent of the National Museum! Yan Xun's thoughts jumped too fast. He suddenly thought that in the autumn of his fourth year of college, he went to the National Museum of China with his classmates to visit the ancient China exhibition area. Next to the pottery statues with pottery inscriptions from the Dawenkou Culture period, Judi was displayed.
Among the 17 pottery inscriptions created by our ancestors, there is the "Sun and Moon Mountain" that haunts Yan Xuan.
After explaining the archaeological value of Longshan culture to the tourists, the volunteer guide specifically pointed to the "Riyue Mountain" pottery inscription and proudly said: "I am very destined to this unique pottery inscription, because this 'Riyue Mountain' often appears in
In my subconscious, although I currently cannot understand the deeper meaning, I will not deliberately search for the answer. I believe in fate and that the answer will come to me.
Just like now, aren't you from all over the country? This is fate!..." After saying this, the volunteer guide took the tourists to the Sanxingdui Bronze Exhibition Area. At that time, Yi Huanquan thought that the Beijing accent man was making fun of him and did not take it seriously.
.I didn’t pay attention to the appearance. But now everything became so clear: slightly fat, with a Chinese character face, and a standard Beijing accent. Although I couldn’t describe the specific appearance, the impression of the commentator’s temperament was as if I had just seen him!
Going to the National Museum of China tomorrow! Yan Xun changed his plan. Before going to bed, I checked the official website of the National Museum and found that there will be three volunteer docents tomorrow. I hope he can come!
It takes at least one and a half hours to get from Changping City to Tiananmen. Although he didn't sleep well last night, Yi Xuan got up early and arrived at the north gate of the National Museum before it opened. After strict ID identification and security inspection, Yi Xun
Xuan went straight to the ancient China exhibition area to wait for this destined person. The crowd was bustling with people visiting one after another, but there was no explainer.
Yan Xun waited anxiously at the entrance of the exhibition area, mumbling something, probably preparing his opening remarks to prevent him from being mistaken for saying: This person has a problem with his head. Near 10 o'clock in the morning, a group of middle school students came to the entrance of the exhibition area surrounded by a fat commentator.
.Yin Xuan immediately recognized him as the commentator who "had a relationship with Tao Wen" three years ago, but he was too uneasy. Firstly, he was afraid of admitting the wrong person, and secondly, he was not ready to speak. It would be better to wait until he saw the display of Tao Wen.
Will this fat lecturer still give lectures as he did four years ago?
The pottery exhibition area is right at the entrance of the ancient China exhibition area. The instructor led the students step by step to visit the skulls of ancient people and the remains of Paleolithic tools. They arrived at the pottery exhibition area without even having to smoke a cigarette. The instructor first took a deep breath and raised his voice, fearing that he was afraid of those around him.
Students cannot hear: "The gray-brown cone-shaped pottery you see now, as well as the surrounding eggshell pottery cups, especially these 17 pottery inscriptions, date back to 6,000 years ago..."
It seems that Fatty has added more materials to Tao Wen in the past three years. He is eloquent, from writing to religion, from agriculture to sacrifices and funerals. To sum up in Fatty's words: This is the dawn of human civilization!
"Among the seventeen pottery inscriptions, the Riyueshan pottery inscription is the most valuable in my opinion. It integrates aesthetics, writing, sun worship, etc. Most scholars currently interpret it as the word 'Dan', which means sunrise in the morning. Personally speaking
He is like a sacred object to me, and it often appears in my subconscious. I am very eager for someone to help me solve it. Maybe there will be experts in this field among you in the future, who can help me solve this mystery that has troubled me for many years!"
Compared with three years ago, Fatty changed from a fatalist to a more active person. He also wanted to find the answer instead of waiting for the right person.
Yan Xuan's anxious heart finally subsided and he walked towards the commentator.
"Hello, I'm Li Yanxuan. Maybe we can solve this mystery together."
"Who are you?" The fat man looked at the young man, as if he was not yet ready to receive the destined person.
"Look, you just said that you are Li Yixun. I want to ask you, do you mean Tao Wen's 'Riyue Mountain'?" The fat man followed up with a look of limited embarrassment.
"Well, I have the same experience as you, and it has appeared more and more frequently recently. I want to talk to you. If you don't mind, I can wait for you to send this wave of students away."
"No need to wait, we'll talk in a minute. Just a moment, I'll arrange the students." The fat man seemed impatient and led the students to the entrance, handing them over to the lead teacher who was waiting outside, and another teacher who arrived half an hour later.
After the volunteer guide made contact, he gave his contact information to the team leader.
After the arrangements were made, the fat man called Yan Xun over and walked side by side towards the exit of the National Expo.
"My name is Sudi, how did you find this place?"
Yan Xun simply told Su Di the reason.
"There are a lot of people outside, how about we come to my house and chat later?" How could Yi Xuan refuse Su Di's invitation? They were eager to solve the mystery and wanted to exchange brains.
Su Di, a 26-year-old native of Beijing, worked in a state-owned bank after graduating from university. However, he couldn't stand the bank's rules and regulations. He quit his job after less than two months and concentrated on doing things he liked, such as volunteering at the National Expo.
.He is about the same height as Su Di. He is fair and chubby, with thick eyebrows and raised eyebrows at the end of his eyebrows. He has a high nose and a Chinese-shaped face. If it were not for his stature, he would look like a handsome boy.
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam from Tiananmen to Tuanjiehu Community outside the East Third Ring Road.
"This is my own house. I don't live with my parents. You're welcome. You can sit wherever you want." He handed Yan Xuan a bottle of water.
"To be honest, I have collected a lot of information about this pottery inscription. I prefer to understand 'Sun and Moon Mountain' as worshiping nature and praying for protection. I don't think there is a crescent moon in the middle, but it should be worshiped by ancient people.
God." Sudi said.
He pulled out a carton of information from under the table, picked out a few photos, and pointed to the 'crescent' in the middle: "You see, the crescent moon in the middle has two upturned ends, and there is also a sharp corner protruding from the middle that connects to the sun. So in the middle,
It can't be the crescent moon. The 'Riyue Mountain' symbol was not only found in Lingyang River, but also unearthed in Anhui, Jiangsu and other places. They were all engraved on the Dakou pottery statue. The remains of a child who died in infancy were unearthed in the pottery statue. This is enough to show that
This Tao inscription is to pray for the early reincarnation of children who died in infancy and to protect future generations from premature death.”
"I agree with your point of view. The shape of the crescent moon should be a miracle that ancient people believed."
"Where did the ghosts and gods come from? I boldly guess that the miracle is a spaceship!" Su Di was convinced of his guess and looked forward to Yi Xun's approval in his eyes.
"Oh, if you are brave enough, it is not impossible. If it is true as you say, then the mystery between you and me will be solved."
"Yin Xun, you are a professional in exploration. Can we explore Wulougu? I suspect that the mountain is hollow."
"The technology and equipment are feasible, but in a densely populated area like Shandong, there will be no unexplored places. I have also checked some resource census reports before, and there is nothing unusual about the mountains."
"If you want to hide a secret, will you let irrelevant people know it? On the contrary, you will try your best to leak the secret to the people who should know. Make bold assumptions and be careful to verify. As a scientific researcher, you don't have the courage?"
Chapter completed!
