The Relationship between Ancient China Development and Dreams

In the hard life and production, ancient humans struggled with natural phenomena and had the desire to fly. The soaring eagle, the fluttering birds and insects, and even the floating clouds in the sky are enough to arouse people's illusions about flying, and various beautiful ancient flying myths and legends have emerged. These flying myths and legends not only enriched the ancient human society and culture, but also gave birth to the seeds of space technology for future generations. Among the numerous ancient flying myths and legends, China, ancient Greece, Egypt, India and Arabia are the most famous and widely circulated. Some are passed down orally, some are recorded in ancient books, and some are reflected in literary and artistic works.

Tianhe in the fairy tale Cowherd and Weaver Girl circulated among the people in China, and Yinhe in the European Renaissance painting The Origin of the Galaxy are all vivid imagination and artistic processing of the universe by the ancients. China's famous beautiful myth "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon" is the earliest fantasy of landing on the moon (see color map). The Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon's record was first found in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (BC 156 ~ 87). In the early 1970s, the book "Huai Nan Zi Lan Ming Xun" was painted on the silk painting unearthed from the No.1 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha. It can be seen that this fairy tale has been widely circulated among the people at least 200 BC. In ancient Greek mythology, Daedalus and his son spread their wings and flew, and Shaw History, Nong Yu and Lapras in the Spring and Autumn Period of China became immortals, which vividly reflected the desire of human beings to take off, while ancient humans had different ideas and explorations on the methods and ways of taking off.
