Urgently ask for an appreciation paper about 2000 words about Nordic mythology classics, or briefly introduce how to write it at the beginning or end.
Nordic myth is a unique myth system in Scandinavia, and its formation time is later than other major myth systems in the world. The oral spread history of Nordic mythology can be traced back to the 2nd century1-AD, which was first popular in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, and spread to Iceland and other places with a group of immigrants going north around the 7th century. In the Middle Ages, Christianity prevailed throughout Europe. Due to the strong political blow, most of the works recording Nordic myths were regarded as heresies and burned. So far, the Icelandic epic Eda and the Germanic epic Song of Nibelungen have been well preserved.

Creation myth

At the beginning of the world, there was no sky and no land. In the dense fog, there is only one Ginza Gorge, and in the north of the Gorge is Nifheim, a "foggy city", in which the spring water named Hvergelmir is the source of all rivers. It is said that the water in one of the rivers is poisonous. To the south of gap is Muspelheim, the "country of fire". In the interweaving of heat and ice, Ymir, the father of the frost giant, and a giant cow named Odhambra were born. Ymir eats the milk secreted by Odem Bula for a living, while Odem Bula licks the salt grains on the ice. Later, Ymir was transformed into Mí mir, a wise giant, and Bestla, a female giant, belonging to the family of Frost Giant. In addition, under the licking of the cow, Buli, the father of the gods, appeared on the ice. Bligh gave birth to Bohr, Bohr and Bestla gave birth to Odin, Willy and Vi. The giant and the god are quite at odds, and the two sides go to war. Later, Ymir was killed by the gods and the giant was defeated. The remaining giants fled to Jotuheim and continued to hate the gods. The gods decorated the earth and the sky with Ymir's body. Ymir's head turned into the sky, his brain into clouds, his body into the earth, his blood into the sea, his bones into mountains and his hair into trees. When Ymir's corpse rotted and maggots grew, these maggots became elves and dwarfs. Odin ordered the four dwarfs to support the four corners of the sky with Machamp. Ymir's eyebrows were used to build a wall around Midgard. Then Odin captured the flames of Musbelheim, turned them into stars, the moon and the sun, and set the operation of the four seasons. The gods made men from gray branches and women from elm branches. The man's name is "Askell" and the woman's name is "Embra". Odin gave them life and soul, Willie gave them reason and action, and gave them emotion, appearance and language. This is the ancestor of mankind.

Eschatological myth

One of the characteristics of Nordic mythology is that the world will eventually be destroyed, which is the dusk of the gods. This battle is inevitable, and the gods are doomed to fail, but even so, the Nordic gods still face the final outcome calmly. After the world dies, the remaining gods will rebuild a new world. In Norse mythology, the world supported by the Yggdrasil is divided into three layers and nine countries. The following is a rough classification, but in fact, because the correct information has been lost, there is more than one statement about the nine realms. ? Asgard: The Kingdom of God. The place where assas people live. One of the biggest castles is Odin's Golden Palace. Varhala is also located here. ? Wanahem: The home of the Warner Protoss. The reproduction of everything between heaven and earth, the ocean and the wind are all controlled by Warner Protoss. This protoss knows many mysterious spells that Odin doesn't know. ? Alfheim: Land of the Elves. Where the elves live. Elves are particularly beautiful and have great power. They take care of flowers and plants, love light most, and are kind-hearted goblins. ? Middle boundary/atrium /Midgard: the place where human beings live. There are three-color Hongqiao composed of ice, fire and air, which can lead to the kingdom of God. ? Jotuheim: The place where giants live. The signpost from the human world to the "giant country" is a horrible "Jarnvid"; There is also legend that the other side of the sea is a "giant country". ? Svartalfheim: the place where dwarfs live. Dwarfs are skilled craftsmen with all kinds of mysterious powers and profound knowledge. They created a lot of wealth. ? Hel: a country with the same name as the queen of the underworld, also translated as "hell" This is a cold and foggy place, a place that lasts all night, and only the dead can arrive. ? Neverheim: The Land of Mist. There is no obvious difference between the world of ice and snow and the country of death. ? Muspelheim: the land of fire. South of the Kinlunga watershed, a hot country guarded by giant Steyr.
