[69 Book Bar-www.] Chapter 131: The Passage of Culture
However, the Huang tribe at that time lived in groups mainly based on hunting. As there were more people and less meat, people gradually began to seek food and clothing and integrated into the farming land, thus achieving the integration of clans.
Continuously eroding the territory and land of the Shennong clan. They picked up the cultivated land abandoned by the Shennong clan. The already cooked land made it easier for them to use their backward farming techniques and tools to achieve the best results.
The Chiyou tribe opened up wasteland and cultivated land in the front, while other tribes picked up the cultivated land in the back. This achieved the expansion of land territory.
When it was time to rotate crops, the Shennong family looked back and saw that the land had been occupied by other tribes, so a war over land ownership broke out, and the story of Xuanyuan Huangdi fighting Chiyou and Zhuolu began. This also led to the Yellow Emperor taking over.
The great miracle of the Central Plains.
Although Chi You had advanced technologies such as smelting and weapon making, facing the demand for land, the strength of the carnivorous race, and the physical exhaustion of Chi You as the leader of the farming tribe, the war failed.
Not only did he fail to get his land back, he also lost a large area of territorial sovereignty and his own life. But what he never expected was that because of his death, his group tribe fell apart and instead withdrew from the Central Plains on which he relied for survival.
.so that his descendants have all become bandits.
Victory and defeat changed hands, and the mountain people took over the Central Plains plains. They used Shennong's people to farm for themselves, split them up, and migrate them to their original tribal territories for use. The primitive society of clans evolved into a slave society.
With the rudimentary ruling class in place, this was the first war in which a foreign nation entered the Central Plains among the many foreign nations that the Central Plains experienced. It was just like the relationship between carnivores and herbivores.
Due to the demise of Chi You, the Shennong tribe, which relied too much on Chi You, no longer had a spiritual leader, nor a leader who could order the tribes to unify and communicate with the outside world. The long period of dispersion led to the disintegration of the tribes.
Some of the tribes who were unwilling to be slaves began to migrate to sparsely populated areas to escape the possibility of becoming slaves. They arrived at the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and established the Chu State, which is now the Yangtze River Basin. At that time,
The Yangtze River Basin is still a barren land without large-scale cultivation.
Of course, there are also reasons for climate change. There is also a need for an environment suitable for the growth of crops.
Later, with the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty, a centralized state was established and slavery was abolished. As a result, checks and balances were established and certain privileges were restricted. The most important thing was the unification of weights and measures and the unification of currency. This facilitated trade and emancipation.
A large number of slaves became common people. This is known to everyone, and it is also the part that is praised in official history.
There is another aspect that is not mentioned here, which is their massacre and annihilation of the Central Plains culture. Because that is their crime. It is the regression of culture, and it is an unspeakable historical crime.
The San Miao people who came after Jiuli settled in a large area of land in the Yangtze River Basin.
And a large number of people who did not migrate with them, or captured slaves, also changed their surnames and poured into the Central Plains. After Chi You's defeat, the rulers faced the descendants of the Shennong clan who were prone to violence.
The Huangdi tribe was unable to calm down. In desperation, Chi You was carried out to intimidate and quell the riots in the Central Plains.
They also used the tribes and enslaved tribal people to drive and exile them to the barbaric and barren lands at that time. Today's Goguryeo, Mongolia, Tibet, and Chuankang and other places have become today's major ethnic minorities.
The ancestors were used to weaken the alliance between these unyielding tribal people and achieve the stability of the rule of the Central Plains.
Speaking of which, we must mention what Qin did after unifying the Central Plains.
When Jiang Shuirou said this, he looked at the time and saw that it was already noon. He announced that he would continue the lecture in the afternoon and everyone went to eat.
"Do you think what the military commander said is true? Isn't it a bit alarmist?"
"How can this be false? You haven't seen that they are all quoted from scriptures and have their sources."
"The commander is really good at talking and knows a lot."
"Who is our military commander? He has a lot of knowledge in his chest."
"Xiaoyu, it's a pity that you didn't go to the auditorium to listen to the lecture this morning."
"What are you talking about? Are you so excited? Could it be that you found a treasure?"
"The topics we talked about were quite novel. We talked about the suppression of bandits first, then the causes of bandits, and then the allusions and history about the Miao family. We haven't finished talking yet, and we will talk about it again in the afternoon. Everyone was breathless after listening to it.
Already."
"Then I'll go listen to it this afternoon and see if it's as good as you said."
"Of course, I can explain it more clearly than you, a top student in the history department."
When Jiang Shuirou entered the auditorium in the afternoon, he found that the seats were actually packed. All the empty seats were already filled. He was puzzled. What was this for? This was not a public speech. I would be irresponsible if I made a mistake.
.Ignore it, you still have to finish talking, right? You can’t give up halfway.
"Everyone, be quiet. I will continue my speech in the morning. We talked about Qin Shihuang in the morning. Here, this is the most important stage of the historical period. Not only did he unify the Central Plains and unified weights and measures. There is also the most important thing, that is, everyone
It is well known that burning books and harassing Confucianism will exterminate the culture of a nation. It will definitely last ten thousand years. It is an extremely long period of time that can be photographed."
Are there students or teachers from the History Department of Lake Normal University here? I would like to suggest that you can find out more about this historical stage in depth.
Before the Qin unified the six kingdoms, the Sanmiao tribe settled within the boundaries of the Chu Kingdom. Why did people at that time call the remnants of the Chiyou tribe the Miao? I think, according to historical records, it should be summarized as the tribe led by Chiyou
The tribe belongs to the Shennong tribe, and its main productive labor is farming.
I think the legend about Shen Nong's taste of hundreds of herbs is well known to everyone. However, Shen Nong's taste of hundreds of herbs should not simply be attributed to the fact that he was looking for herbs. In fact, it was to find cereal crops suitable for human beings to survive. Then
Are they also grasses?
Talking about herbal medicine is just a casual side job, discovered occasionally. However, a large number of medicines have been found from this. This is why Miao doctors are good at making medicines.
Miao refers to the seedlings grown from crops, and the ethnic group that is good at doing this work has over time been called the Miao people. This is what the descendants of Shennong were later called.
Therefore, the Miao nationality is actually a branch of the Han nationality. For example, "White Tiger Tongyi" records: "In ancient times, people all ate the meat of animals. As for Shennong, there were many people and not enough animals, so Shennong divided the land according to the time of the sky and the benefits of the land.
He cultivated grass and taught the people to farm. He transformed it into gods and made it suitable for the people, so it was called Shennong. This is a recollection of the history of the people who hunted for meat and turned to farming. It is also a division of them.
