written account about "wood men" in ancient China

[micathia]

Hi,

While I am surfing a chinese version "yowie hunter" forum, I saw an interesting account about "wood men" written in a record about 1000 years ago.

This woodmen is a different name referring different location from "yeren". It is recorded to locate:

https://goo.gl/PtoAxg

No way they exist today in that location.

The "woodmen" are said to be giant, long face, red eyes, long arms, human face, black to yellow hair covering body, backward feet [heard that before right?] and can't help laughing when seeing humans, very fast walking and climbing, bipedal, no tail. the height are said to be 2 "zhang", a unit changed from dynasty to dynasty, i checked, around 4 metres.

as for what are they? an explanation i never heard before: they were lumber slaves of "kingdom of Yue [existed 2000 years ago]", once being freed, they were scared to be slave again and hide in the wood and never came out. I started wondering, are they mere slave? or a slave race?

and woodmen used to TRADE with humans. they will collect/chop woods for human in exchange for sword/axe. They way they do it is also weird. if you want wood, you leave an axe/sword under a tree, and hide; then at some time, the woodmen will leave wood and take the axe/sword. the woodmen won some credit for doing honest business and never rip off.

the reference of this account are from three books. one of them is:

the other two are not famous enough to be included in English wikipedia though.

That is fascinating thanks! This as an idea did occur to me about the idea of woodsman slaves or labourers in the prehistorical forest industries in the ancient SE Asian archipelago. And thuss the Yowie was brought over that way (?), ending up in the Australian forests. Perhaps early on this occured <35,000yrs and then later aboriginal arrivals surmised that they were the earliest occupants. ALSO - i wondered whether they might have been 'employed' as giant paddlers to cross the myriad of small sea gaps across to Sahul/Australia-New Guinea. There's one account i think in the Healy/Cropper book of a cave-living yowie in early Sydney area who looked after aboriginal fishermen's gear in return for fish.

Prehistorical forest industry, yes, but yowie/bigfoot were not slave to human, slave to something else. I strongly believe in "Ancient Astronaut Theory", so gods/creators are aliens, aliens are gods. Yowie (so called giants) are just a earlier round of creation, served creators.

Even today, there are witness in US claiming some bigfoots are standing next to aliens and doing things what aliens direct them to.

Hi

I just found this photo if I have uploaded correctly. It may make people laugh. The chinese farmer is trying to mimic what kind of a face he saw in the forest in front of a journalist.

The letter "CCTV" in the pic is not "Closed-circuit television", instead "China Central Television".

Thx! it's a big theory, heaps of books/documentaries about it.

Yes its an interesting concept. I have grown up reading about aliens/ufos,ancient egypt, pagan/ ancient religion, ancient history etc. Lots of the stuff i read then (1970s -90s)is so out of date and some proved to be frauds these days so not really up to date with it all.

One thing i always remember is the stories of humans and other beings " created" ( genetically engineered or cloned? ) by " gods" ( aliens?) to mine gold or slavery etc and then left to their own desires.

Theres the mayans with their kings and gods, the Australian Aboriginal and the Wandjinas and other cultures with similar stories.

With my experience with the yowie and some of the more open minded theories i have read on the yowie and bigfoot, i cant help but try fit the yowie in there somewhere. Of course its just a theory though and i have others as well but sure is fun to think about and in my opinion, more plausible than some undiscovered ape thats real fast and good at hiding etc .

Im not saying thats out of the question and had similar theories myself of a barbaric apeman .im more open minded about the subject now.

There are plenty of 'myths' around the world of 'giants' building monolithic structures... just as many as there are of 'visitors' or 'gods' with amazing technology.

How true these myths are will probably never be known. What is certain however, is that our history is far more complex and interesting than what we are taught in school.

I have a very good German friend who escaped east Germany after the war, losing most of his family in the process (his dad was shot down over Stalingrad) and he told me something I will never forget... "Always remember, Wolf," he said, "history is written by the winners".
