Why the Chinese didn't write a script like the Genesis?
The Chinese has a different approach to the understanding of the universe and history.
Ancient Chinese wisdom was hidden in many old stories and songs or poems.
Some of the songs were willfully deleted by Confucius, yet there was no writer to complete a lengethy script like the Genesis.
Ancient philosophers like Zhuang Zi did write books and was willfully rewritten by Confucius scholars.
To reach the ancient wisdom is not an easy matter in Chinese literature.
Now you can have only a simple outline of the ancient wisdom, and that was really striking:
There might be no beginning of the universe, and the universe is not balanced.
It needs human effort to the balance.
Yet humans are not balanced also.
It was only until very late that a concept of "rainbow" existence of all creatures were discovered. Humans exist in all forms of life.
Humans came in different colors and sizes and inner- abilities.
However it was a very old concept that Humans came in as a whole, and a whole is more than individuals.
The concept of a whole is the basic of love.
It was really dramatic to see how the wisdom of Jesus had come in to the Western world which is simple and could be understand in one line:
"Love is important" which is completely against the teaching of Abraham:
"Love is not important".
And the not-important idea was more than a script. It was written in every penis of male babies with a scar eight days after the baby was born and he was expected to remember that love is not important every time when he uses his pensis and that is the origin of wars. It was backup in the form of a script but the tradition of circumcision is much stronger a reminder.
note:
When and how was the Genesis written (AI research)
The authorship of the Book of Genesis, as well as the entire Torah (the first five books of the Bible), is traditionally attributed to Moses in Jewish and Christian traditions. However, modern scholarship suggests that Genesis and other parts of the Torah were likely written by multiple authors over a long period of time, with various sources and traditions being woven together.
Abraham is a key figure in Genesis, particularly in the narratives about the patriarchs, but there is no evidence to suggest that he wrote any part of the text. Instead, the stories about Abraham and others were likely passed down through oral traditions before being written down by later authors. The documentary hypothesis is one scholarly approach that proposes that the Torah is a compilation of different sources, often referred to as J (Jawist), E (Elohist), P (Priestly), and D (Deuteronomist).
The Book of Genesis is believed to have been written over a long period, with its final form likely completed during the 6th to 5th centuries BCE. However, the stories and traditions contained within Genesis are much older and may have been passed down orally for generations before being recorded in written form.
The process of compiling and editing the texts that would become the Torah, including Genesis, likely involved multiple authors and editors across centuries. Therefore, while we can estimate the time of its final composition, the origins of the narratives themselves can be traced back to much earlier periods, possibly as far back as the second millennium BCE.
