Before I was ten years old, I read several Bible stories printed by different publishing houses with strong curiosity and pain. I was too young to call out a few names after reading it. For Chinese children, reading the Bible The story not only has to overcome the need to remember names (there are a lot of duplicate names, and the literal translation is also very long), but also to understand the way Westerners speak and compare Western history and maps. Mystery is always curious, so he urged himself to read the storybook several times, but it was still lonely.
In the passage of Moses in the biblical story, the Jewish nation is a resolute nation, hardworking and able to endure hardships (although forced), a nation where the whole nation was reduced to low-level slaves when working in Egypt, without human rights and without freedom, until God had mercy on Moses. Guided by God, he aimed at the site of Jerusalem, and seemed to have a new home - Israel. But aren't there any natives in Jerusalem? How did the Jews compete with the natives? This is not elaborated on in the play Bible Stories.
The stories of Jews have been incessant in the development of modern human civilization. There are many Jewish scientists, who have mastered American technology, many businessmen, and many politicians, who have grasped the political lifeblood. No name, but they silently control everything behind their backs like invisibility. There are many Chaoshan people around me. They are smart and can do business. They don't go to school but they can make a lot of money.
I know that Chaoshan people have a good name, that is, the Jewish people of China. In this way, the Jewish nation should be more powerful, otherwise, how to dominate the United States and the world is also regarded as a thorn in Hitler's eyes, and the global inhumane kills Jews. The Jews recovered in one fell swoop after World War II, fought a life-and-death fight with Pakistan in Jerusalem, and used high-tech to reduce dimensionality to attack backward Islamic countries, triggering Islamic countries' revenge against Israelis, including the Black Widow bomb that I often heard on the news when I was a child. Appalling. Are Jews so hateful? The Jews are so pitiful, the nomadic people can only plunder if they want to settle down, but the Jews are so smart and united.
Since too many events in history are related to Jews, I have a strong curiosity about this nation, and try to understand the wisdom of Jews, Jewish history and three views from the perspective of a writer. .
The biblical story is probably the story of human beings (Jews) who were both ignorant and depraved, but assiduously aspiring to be favored and saved by God. In addition, the biblical story is also a mythical story book similar to a historical work that the Jews themselves recorded their own national history. You can say that he is a novel or you can say that he is a real history, but it cannot be forgotten that it was written by the Jews.
So how, as the Jews themselves, did they describe a historical story of their own in the time between the Old and New Testaments?
I try to sum it up in one sentence using my poor grammar and rhetoric
This story is mainly to say that the Israelites were originally a tragic nomadic people who were favored by God. Because the Israelis who had been favored for many times were willing to degenerate and failed to pass on their own territory and culture well, they did a lot of crazy things. The relationship between God and the Israelites became more and more estranged. First, Moses led the Israelites to find a place to live. Israel, after a period of time, the people fell again. Later, he arranged for Jesus to come to the world to save mankind and use his own death to replace them. Human (Israel) atonement. Three days after Jesus was killed, he was resurrected again, and he summoned the disciples and apostles to let them preach well, (Christianity was born). The apostles are some of Jesus' close disciples.
However, these simple, nonsensical, complicated and seemingly boring stories are actually quite meaningful enough to mobilize the power of a nation to make it a country.
The most powerful person is the one who makes the rules. This book itself is actually similar to a rule, such as the Ten Commandments of Moses, but this rule is not promulgated under the power, but is wrapped in an oversized story, and there are a lot of stories in the story. Permeated with the color of religious belief, it is like an ingenious conscious embedding. When reading this story, the reader's three views are constructed and sorted out.
I have to think that if novels like The Lord of the Rings are circulated long enough, he may also allow people to form gangs and nations in the book, fight each other and lead the prosperity of the tribe. To put it bluntly, there is such a cultural product. It is the weapon of the ruling class.
In the long historical era, the Jews have repeatedly recorded and refined the details of these stories. Such a masterpiece, a cultural product, not only satisfies human nature's pursuit of freedom and beauty, but also formulates rules that make them convince, and builds a reasonable three-dimensional framework for people with incomplete knowledge structures at that time that they cannot find flaws. view, so that their minds maintain the essence of piety, obedience to faith, beauty and pure diligence and hard work.
This is probably the greatest reward of writing a near-chronological novel.
But with regard to the economic operation under the leadership of the ruling class, the origin and specific development of the political game are not mentioned at all. The story told from the perspective and language of the most simple and simple civilians is the biblical story. Of course, this may be closely related to the author.
An example worth mentioning is Game of Thrones, another chronicle-like masterpiece.
Although Martin is a modern person, his thinking, vision and writing angle cannot be compared with those of the ancient Bible writers, but the two works have many similarities. They are long masterpieces, similar to a chronicle, full of magic and fantasy myths. Colors are also interspersed with many real historical stories, reflecting the understanding and three views of many Westerners on life, but the focus of Game of Thrones is more on the political and military thinking game and confrontation and coordination in human society. For propositions like this, the dimension of this play is one section higher, at least the interpretation of things will be more dimensional, and more open and free. In Martin's POV perspective, villains also have a history of villains, they have their own emotions and desires, and like good people, they have the good side of human nature. Good people also have their own shortcomings. . Although morality and interests are unified in spirit, they can be completely separated in practice.
Therefore, the biblical stories reflect that people's understanding of life was simple at that time. This simplicity gave the Jews in that era of ghosts and gods a kind of stimulant like chicken blood, so that their nation was able to survive every day and night that did not see the dawn. Dominate the world now.
