Why are there myths and legends?

All social forms and ideologies are based on a certain material economy, and the origin of ancient myths is neither moaning without illness nor making things up. It has its own social significance.

In my opinion, 1 is a primitive society with low social development level, backward economy and low productivity. People are full of awe and fear of the moody nature, so they begin to construct and imagine some characters or stories that can control these forces, which is similar to the emergence of primitive religion. 2. During the feudal period, for the sake of long-term stability, the emperor whitewashed his myths again and again, and fabricated a lot of stories about ghosts and gods to make himself more justified, which explained the emergence of the emperor's myths. 3. In order to get rid of the real suffering, the working people have to make up or believe some stories of ghosts and gods to comfort their suffering, hoping to make themselves alleviate their pain or become hedonists in these things, which is the fundamental soil for the existence of myths. 3. Nature is related to the modification and creation of those doctors and literati, especially those doctors and magicians who seek immortality and alchemy.
