Chapter 287: Western Jin Dynasty

In Tianzhu, people would regard rhesus monkeys as incarnations of the monkey god Hanuman, venerate them, and make offerings to them.

But local ecological researchers believe that monkey behavior problems are all caused by this habit.

"In the beginning, it was people who fed the monkeys, and now it's the monkeys who expect people to feed them, so once people don't feed the monkeys, they get grumpy. ”

The increase in monkey threats is also related to populations.

With the expansion of urbanization, monkeys who have lost their forests are forced to move into towns to work.

In the wild, monkeys used to spend 10-14 hours a day looking for food, but now it only takes 10 minutes, because the city is full of food at your fingertips, and a random garbage dump can solve the day's food rations.

The time and effort saved in searching for food is used by the monkeys for breeding.

Tianzhu officials were soberly aware that it was unlikely to persuade the monkeys to have fewer eugenics, so they decided to use monkeys to make monkeys.

In 2022, officials hired larger langurs to expel weaker monkeys with strong monkeys around the Capitol.

But the plan was soon halted by the country's environment authorities, as the langurs were listed as endangered.

Later, the authorities changed their minds and hired 40 young people to disguise themselves as langurs and imitate langur sounds, so that the rhesus monkeys around the parliament building thought that the langurs were still there.

Himachal Pradesh, for its part, has learned from successful monkey sterilization programmes in other regions and invested heavily in eight monkey sterilization centres in the state, each with an average of 45 monkeys per day.

In order to ensure that the supply of monkeys is sufficient, the official also issued a reward of 500 rubles for each monkey to attract monkeys in the slums of the city, which not only solves the problem of employment but also solves the problem of monkey trouble.

However, the sterilization measures are not useful, and the number of monkey violence has not decreased, because it is the energetic and bold male monkeys who can wreak havoc in the city, and the female monkeys are hiding in the shadows, although many eunuch monkeys are created, but as long as there is a male monkey, a population can still be created.

In order to solve this problem, the Tianzhu Wildlife Research Institute is working to provide oral contraceptives to female monkeys through food, which will ensure that female monkeys will not conceive for three years, but the effect is still not obvious.

"Maybe opening up the ban on medical research, or exporting monkeys to other countries, would be a good option. ”

A Tianzhu official in charge of resolving the matter said.

Li Lan was completely convinced, "So crossing the team, just the three of us plus a monkey?"

Yang Pingfan said: "There has to be a special soldier, this is called complete, Lao Guo and Lao Wu are busy, I plan to bring Donglai with me." ”

The Western Jin Dynasty (265 A.D. - 316 A.D.) was a dynasty established by the Sima clan of the Wei State, which unified the land of China that was still divided at that time with its powerful military power, but due to the internal contradictions of the ruling class and various operations that destroyed the foundation, in a short period of time, the Western Jin Dynasty collapsed, so that China returned to the original state of division.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi fought with Wu and Shu as Cao Cao's military advisor, because of his outstanding military and political command skills, he continuously assisted Cao Pi, Cao Ei, and Cao Fang, and his unique forbearance and ambition became the real power of Wei after getting rid of the Wei clan and entrusting the lonely minister Cao Shuang in the Gaopingling coup.

Wei Jiaping died in the third year of Sima Yi, and his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao took power successively, completely emptying the Cao family.

Sima Zhao was extremely powerful, and after taking over the throne, he proclaimed himself the king of Jin, and his son Sima Yan was named the prince, and began to prepare to replace Wei.

In 265 AD, Sima Zhao died, and his son Sima Yan abolished Emperor Cao Huan of Wei, changed the name of the country to Jin, all in Luoyang, which is the Western Jin Dynasty in Chinese history, and Sima Yan was Emperor Wu of Jin.

When Sima Yan ascended the throne, the state of Wu among the three kingdoms had not yet been pacified, so the first major event after Emperor Wu ascended the throne was to pacify Eastern Wu and unify the whole country.

In 280 AD, the Jin army went south to attack Jianye, and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, went out of the city to ask for surrender, so far, Wei, Shu, and Wu perished one after another, and China appeared temporarily unified.

After the completion of the great cause of unification, Emperor Wu divided more than ten meritorious people with the same surname as the king, and adjusted a series of political systems such as the official system, military system, and legal system of the Jin Dynasty, but because most of the Jin ministers were famous families of the previous dynasty, the political reform measures they proposed were mainly to protect their own interests, and most of them did not adapt to the actual social conditions of the Jin Dynasty at that time, so the economy of the early years of the Jin Dynasty did not develop much.

In the first year of Taixi, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan died of illness and was succeeded by his second son, Emperor Hui Sima Zhen.

Emperor Hui of Jin was originally a fool and could not govern the country, so that the power of the court fell into the hands of Empress Jia Nanfeng.

The kings of the Sima clan were dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Jia clan in the court, and they all wanted to kill the Jia clan and take power alone, so the famous "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the history of the Jin Dynasty occurred.

Among them, the eight kings are all relatives of the Jin royal family, they are: Wang Liang of Runan, Wang Wei of Chu, Wang Jian of Qi, Wang Lun of Zhao, Wang Ying of Chengdu, Wang Yi of Changsha, Wang Wei of Hejian, and Wang Yue of the East China Sea.

In 299 AD, Zhao Wanglun killed Empress Jia and his henchmen and seized power.

Subsequently, in the first year of Yongning, Emperor Hui was abolished and established himself as the emperor, which was the beginning of the "Eight Kings Rebellion".

Since then, there have been constant wars between Qi Wangjian, Zhao Wanglun, Changsha Wangyi, Hejian Wang, and Chengdu Wang Ying in order to seize power.

Until 306 A.D., the king of the East China Sea poisoned Emperor Hui and supported the twenty-fifth son of Emperor Wu Sima Yan to succeed to the throne, and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" that lasted for five years was over.

The "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" that occurred in the late Jin Dynasty further worsened the already weak rule of the Jin Dynasty, and in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, not only the people in China revolted against the tyranny and government, but also the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes outside the territory also eyed the rule of the Western Jin Dynasty.

In 308 A.D., the Xiongnu Dadan proclaimed Liu Yuan the emperor, moved the capital to Pingyang, and began the process of destroying the Jin Dynasty.

After ascending the throne, Liu Yuan immediately sent his son Liu Cong and his general Wang Mi to attack Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Wang Yue, who held great power in Luoyang at that time, led 40,000 horses and a large number of courtiers to withdraw from Luoyang in order to protect himself, and stationed in Xiangcheng in the east, and was repeatedly defeated in the process of fighting against Liu Yuan, and died of depression the following year.

Liu Cong took this opportunity to eliminate the men and horses of the East China Sea King, conquered Luoyang, and plundered Sima Chi, Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty.

After Emperor Huai was captured, Yan Ding, the assassin of Yuzhou, Jia Kai, and Jia Kai, the assassin of Yongzhou, supported Sima Ye, the grandson of Emperor Wu, as the emperor, both in Chang'an.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Chang'an was besieged, and at this time the Jin Dynasty was powerless to resist the enemy; the Jin Emperor Sima Ye surrendered, and the Western Jin Dynasty ended.

Since the establishment of power by Emperor Wu, the Jin Dynasty has gone through three generations and four emperors, only 51 years before and after, it is worth mentioning that the Western Jin Dynasty is the first dynasty in the history of our country to be wiped out by foreign people.

Yang Pingfan reported the list of the crossing foursome, and Liu Yuan approved it without saying a word, and then the specially formed expert team began to give them the historical knowledge of the Western Jin Dynasty, as well as the various customs and customs of that time and space, and at the same time, a group of professional ancient Chinese experts compiled a set of ancient Chinese pronunciation tutorials, which were instilled into the brains of the four through the brain networking education system.

On the day of the crossing, the four gathered in front of the traversal module.

Historians and folklorists have tried to find as much detail as possible about that era in history, which is reflected in the attire of the four men.

In order to restore the costumes of the time as much as possible, they studied Sun Wei's "Gao Yi Tu", Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" and "Nu Shi Zhen Tu", among which the discovery of a tomb group from the ancient Wei and Jin dynasties on the Gobi Desert northeast of Jiayuguan in Gansu Province helped a lot.

Archaeologists have found more than 600 colorful paintings in it, and the content of the brick paintings is almost all a variety of scenes of real livelihood, including mulberry picking, ploughing, hunting, animal husbandry, reclamation, cooking, feasting, etc., among which the images of laborers are depicted, and there are also nobles, so that the reproduction of experts has become a reality.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the scarf of the Han Dynasty was still popular, but it was slightly different from the Han Dynasty in that the curtain was heightened, and the volume was gradually reduced to the top, when it was called "flat on the top" or called "small crown", the small crown was used both up and down, and the north and south passed, such as adding a cage scarf on this crown, that is, it became a "cage crown".

The cage crown is the main crown ornament in the Western Jin Dynasty, both men and women, because it is made of black lacquer yarn, also known as the "lacquer sarong crown", Yang Pingfan wore such a top.

The clothes of the Wei and Jin dynasties inherited the Qin and Han relics, mainly including shirts and robes.

There is a significant difference in style between the shirt and the robe, according to the customs of the Han Dynasty, where it is called a robe, the sleeve end should be converged, and equipped with a mouth.

And the shirt does not need to be removed, the cuffs are spacious, the shirt because it is not subject to the clothes and other parts, gradually become the mainstream, and become more and more broad, and later become a custom, and has been affected to the clothing of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, from the princes and celebrities, and the common people of Li Shu, all with wide shirts and large sleeves, praise clothes and belts, and wear more hakama skirts.

The women's hairstyles of the Western Jin Dynasty were very different from those of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the popular "cover bun" was a kind of wig, Jin Chenggong's "Cover Bun Ming" had made a special description, and its bun was inlaid with gold ornaments, each with a strict track system, and it was not allowed to be used by non-destined women.

In addition to ordinary women pulling their hair into various styles, there are also those who wear wigs, but this kind of wigs are more casual, and the decoration on the bun is not as complicated as the cover bun, which is called "slow sideburns and tilting buns", in addition, it is necessary to add decorations to the hair bun with step hairpins, flower hairpins, hairpin tweezers, or insert flowers.

Li Lan and Yang Pingfan pretended to be nobles and celebrities at that time, so Li Lan combed a wig. As for the clothes, the women's clothing in the Western Jin Dynasty inherited the customs of the Qin and Han dynasties, generally wearing shirts, jackets, and undergarments on the upper body, and skirts on the lower body, the styles are mostly thrifty and rich, the body department is tight-fitting and fitting, the cuffs are hypertrophied, the skirt is a multi-folded pleated skirt, the skirt is long and swaying, and the hem is loose, so as to achieve the effect of handsome and free.

Because of the connivance of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, coupled with the influence of Shi Chongwang Kai Doufu, and the large number of gold, silver and jewelry bought from Jin Liufu, to keep up with the luxurious and beautiful style of the society at that time.

The traditional system of dark clothing is no longer used by men, but it is still worn by women.
