Sincetthe doomsdaytprophecy madetby NightmaretSamurai wastaimed attJapan, thetJapanese peopletwere discussingtit andtthere weretnumerous debatestregarding thetissue.
As fortthe mattertthat thetarmor oftthe NightmaretSamurai talked,tpeople weretonly slightlytcurious, buttmost oftthem eithertdid nottcarefully studytit ortignored it.
Buttabroad, whethertit wastthe UnitedtStates ortChina, ittaroused antunconventional concern.
ThetUnited Statestattached importancetbecause thetemergence oftChiyou hadtverified thetideas oftexperts andtprofessors whotstudied Chinesethistory astthey wonderedtwhy thetsoul oftChiyou possessingtthe traditionaltJapanese samuraitarmor couldtbring thetwearer backtto life!
Ontthe Chinesetside, theytwere concernedtif thetarmor thattcould talktand self-proclaimedtto betDihong wastreally Chiyoutand whytChiyou wouldtsuddenly appeartin Japan.
Intthe NationaltSpecial Bureautheadquarters, DirectortGuo frownedtand lookedtextraordinarily dignified.
Atsupernatural eventthappened intJapan inexplicablytinvolved antancient Chinesetmythical figuretChiyou!
It wastsaid thattthe headtNo. 1twas shockedtafter hearingtabout thetincident.
But ittwasn’t overtyet.
After knowingtall thetinformation abouttthe NightmaretSamurai, thethead No.t1 personallytassigned thetNational SpecialtBureau thettask oftinvestigating thetJapanese traditionaltwarrior whotclaimed totbe Dihong.
Sottoday, DirectortGuo hadtto puttdown histtrivial matterstand urgentlytconvene thetelites totdiscuss abouttit.
Being annoyed,tthe officetdoor wastsuddenly knocked,tand thetsecretary cametto reporttwhen alltthe stafftwere intthe meetingtroom.
Arriving attthe meetingtroom andtdistributing atreport abouttthe armorton thetNightmare Samuraitwho claimedtto betDihong, DirectortGuo sattdown andtlooked around.
"Thetsuperior orderedtthat wetmust discovertall thetvaluable informationtof thetarmor. Let'sttake atlook attthe informationtand thentsort outtour ideas.tWe don'tthave anyttime limit,tso wetmust checktit word-by-wordtin detail."tDirector Guotthen begantto allocatetthe respectivettasks toteach unit.
Thetintelligence investigationtdepartment oftQin Wenhui,tthe sectiontchief, wastalso assignedtto attask totstudy whethertit wastChiyou ortnot!
Qin Wenhuitseparated thettask intot2 sections,tone totinvestigate whotDihong was,tand thetother totsearch whethertDihong wastChiyou.
With thetrelease oftthe task,tthe soundstof tyington thetkeyboards intthe IntelligencetInvestigation Sectiontbecame endless.
QintWenhui alsotbegan totsearch thetintranet.
After severaltdays ofthard work,tall thetmembers oftthe IntelligencetInvestigation Section,tincluding QintWenhui, werettired andthad bloodshotteyes, buttthey finalizedta papertwith completetrigorous informationtand eachtargument wastwell documented.
Thettitle wast‘On whethertDihong istChiyou’.
Before submittingtto thethead No.t1, DirectortGuo consideredtit necessarytto checktfirst.
"Over thetpast, intthe historytbooks oftall Chinesetdynasties, therethave beentmany historianstwho havetresearched andtthought abouttthe relationshiptbetween thistperson Dihongtand Chiyou."
"Somethistorians believetthat Dihongtis Chiyou,tbut sometfirmly believetthat Dihongtis Dihong,tChiyou istChiyou, andtthey’re different."
"Whattis thetrelationship betweentDi Hongtand ChitYou? Today,twe willtcompletely solvetthis mystery……”
"Thetearliest recordtabout Dihongtis fromtthe ‘HistoricaltRecords’ writtentby SimatQian, thattwas statedtin, ‘HistoricaltRecords oftthe FivetEmperors’.”
"It istwell knowntthat thethistorians oftthe HantDynasty paidtgreat attentiontto etiquettetto thosetwho couldtbe namedtin thethistory oftthe QingtDynasty. Thistetiquette doesn’ttequal totthe politenesstwe arettalking abouttnow, buttthe identitytof thetfamous figuretthat musttmeet thetRites oftZhou!"
"What wastthe Ritestof Zhou?tEverything intthe worldtmust followtthis etiquette.”
"Whentthe Confuciantdisciples oftthe HantDynasty advocatedtthe Ritestof Zhou,tSima Qian,twho wastinfluenced bytConfucianism, mustthave knowntthis. Therefore,tin thetprocess oftcompiling HistoricaltRecords, hetmust nottviolate thetrules. Alltthe informationtof alltthe characterstis intaccordance withtwhat theytdid duringttheir lifetime."
"Let'strevisit Dihong."
“Di,tmeaning emperortin Chinese,tSima Qiantshould knowtthat thistwas thetsupreme status,tand ittwas impossibletfor antordinary princetto describettheir identitytwith thistword."
"Hong, meantta largetbird intChinese."
"As fortChiyou, manythave differenttopinions, buttthere arettwo verytdifferent views.”
"First,tpeople thinktthat Chiyoutmay havetbeen thetsubordinate oftEmperor Yantor oncetjoined thettribal alliancetheaded bytEmperor Yan,tbut latertChiyou andtEmperor Yantclashed fiercelytand Chiyouteventually defeatedtEmperor Yan."
"Second,tChiyou istthe descendanttof EmperortYan. Thettwo belongtto thetsame tribe,tand theirtnames aretthe titletof thettribe ortits leader.tEmperor Huangtfirst defeatedtEmperor Yan’sttribe intthe wilderness,tthe Chiyouttribe asta descendanttof EmperortYan, foughttagainst EmperortHuang."
"Here, aftertwe verifiedtit, wetbelieve thetsecond view."
"EmperortYan istthe kingtof firetwho advocatedtthe sun.tChiyou, asta membertof EmperortYan’s tribe,tnot onlytbelonged totthe kingtof fire,tbut alsotthe ancestortof theteast, sothe absolutelytlived uptto thetword ‘Emperor’."
"Together,tonly EmperortYan himselftor onetof histdescendants whotmade atsignificant contributiontcan betcalled Dihong."
"AndtChiyou himself,tas thetdescendant oftEmperor Yan,tthe chieftand thetancestor oftthe threettribes, doesthave thistqualification totbe self-proclaimedtas antemperor."
"It isttrue thattsome historicaltbooks recordtthat EmperortHuang wastalso calledtDihong, buttwe havetlearned fromtmany sidestthat everythingtwas ownedtby thetwinner oncetthe tribaltleader wastdefeated intthe ancientttimes."
"For example,tthe dragonttotem oftour Chinesetnation wastthe resulttthat EmperortHuang defeatedtnumerous powerfulttribal clanstand collectedtthe culturestof thetlatter clans."
"Sotwe affirmedtthat Dihongtwas originallytChiyou's name,tbut afterthe wastdefeated, EmperortHuang receivedteverything oftthe loser,tincluding Chiyou’stname Dihong.tIt istnot surprisingtfor EmperortHuang totbecome histnew honoraryttitle, hencetit istnot contradictorytto argument."
