There is a story in Huai Nan Zi: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lu Yanggong, the grandson of King Chu Ping, was a very famous person in the local area and knew some geomantic omen. Later, the northern territory of Chu was occupied by South Korea. Therefore, King Chu Ping ordered Duke Yang Lu to lead tens of thousands of elite Chu troops to fight against the Korean army. The two sides fought until sunset in the morning, and it was still difficult to tell the winner.
Because there were no convenient lighting tools during the ancient war, Duke Yang Lu was worried when he saw the sun set in the west. In desperation, he shouted, raised his longbow, picked the sun in the sky for 90 miles, and let the time return to noon. In the end, he defeated the North Korean army and returned with great victory.
Of course, because Huainanzi itself is a Taoist work, we can't believe the story recorded in it. If Duke Yang Lu really had that skill, Chu would have unified the world. However, this story also illustrates a problem, that is, in ancient China, the so-called travel stories were very popular with people, which shows the primitive worship of time by the ancients.
Therefore, in fact, the story of "Duke Yang Lu's retreat from Japan" represents the ancestors' desire to control time. But we know that even modern science can't really grasp the passage of time, so we should cherish time at beautiful moments, because human life is like a blink of an eye, and we can't turn back time like Lu Yanggong, so grasping every moment of life is the right way to save time.
