Lousang, Tahiti, Nanxiqu.

Ma Chao's backyard. Ma Chao held the cold light dagger in his hand, and walked step by step to the head sheep that was leisurely gnawing on the grass.

The day before yesterday, Aung passed away in his sleep. ended his life destined to be extraordinary, and also took away all the secrets he carried.

Walk very peacefully.

According to the Qiang customs, the cremation should be done after sunset on the third day. Ma Chao needs to use a sheepskin to sew a sheepskin drum. And with the head of the head of the goat, make sacrificial ritual vessels.

"There are three rituals for the funeral: one is cremation, and the salary is burned; The second is called water burial, and the sinking stream is scattered; The third is wild burial, abandoning the forest to feed animals. ”

"When the Qiang people die, they burn and raise their ashes." "The captives of Diqiang are not worried about their burden, but they are worried about their death and do not burn."

Ancient Qiang is mainly cremated. It is usually held after sunset. At the time of cremation, relatives sat around and wept and sang mourning songs to express their sorrows. It is also necessary to use the ancient Qiang dance of "holding hands and pausing feet" to pray to the gods to bless the deceased to enter another world. The singing and dancing continued until the next morning. The ashes are then buried in the ground. In the crown ceremony and funeral ceremony, the Qiang people should tie a wool rope around their necks to show that they are in the same body as the sheep. At the time of the funeral, a sheep needs to be slaughtered to guide the way for the deceased, which is called "guiding sheep".

The Qiang people use sheep as a totem. The word "Qiang" in ancient Chinese is the word "sheep" and "person", which are combined up and down. There is also a saying in the "Sayings" that Qiang "follows the sheep from the people".

It shows that in ancient times, the Qiang nationality had developed animal husbandry and was already known to the world. Legend has it that the earliest domesticated domestic animal of the Qiang people was the "argali" that inhabited the plateau grasslands. Later, after the domestication of the Qiang people, the ancient wild sheep were improved into today's sheep.

As a result, "the sheep is beautiful". This may be the original meaning of "beauty".

The word "beauty", another origin, is derived from the "crown sheep" custom of the Qiang people's "sheep's head and human body".

The so-called "crown sheep" is to make the sheep's head, horns, etc. into original ornaments and wear them on the head.

The "crowned sheep" is often a symbol of status and power. Wearing sheep-like ornaments on the head to show mystery and authority, in ancient times was mostly reserved for tribal leaders or chiefs.

In later generations, all the people who worshiped the sheep totem would hold celebrations or witchcraft ceremonies every year, such as sowing seeds, praying for the year, hunting, birth, etc. During these ceremonies, they put their horns on their heads, put their skins on their heads, or put their heads on their heads, or even tie the whole sheep to their bodies, singing and dancing.

The custom of crowning sheep gradually evolved into "sheep people are beautiful". It is also called "sheep are beautiful".

Therefore. The original meaning of beauty may also mean "a person who wears a sheep-shaped crown or a sheep's head ornament". "The sheep is beautiful", and "big" can also indicate a person standing head-on; "Sheep" is an ornament worn by totem playing, totem music and dance, and totem witchcraft.

However, no matter what the meaning, "beauty" is closely related to the Qiang people.

A glimpse of the whole leopard.

Just like the Han rites and the Qiang rites, they both originate from the Zhou rites. Chinese characters are not only owned by the Han people. The "beauty" of the Chinese character comes from the "sheep" of the Qiang people.

The "head sheep" is often the largest of the flock. Ma Chao was raised since he was a child and slaughtered with his own hands.

The leather below the neck of the lamb is divided into two. The soft belly skin is used to make the sheepskin drum. A whole back skin, along with the scalp with the horns. Draped on Ma Chao's body.

The whole sheep that have been skinned will be buried with Aweng's ashes after the sacrifice ceremony. Become a "guiding sheep".

It is different from the ancient Qiang, "burning and raising ashes". After the cremation of Dongqiang, the ashes will be picked up and placed in the altar and buried in the ground.

When Ma Chao peeled off the sheepskin, dipped the ashes in the blood, and was about to put it on his body. Suddenly, someone behind me said, "Come for the father." ”

Ma Chao trembled when he heard the sound. Holding back the tears that came out of his eyes, he turned to his father and knelt on the ground to salute. The father, who has always regarded the blood of the Qiang people as a shame, actually gave a sheep to the funeral for Ah Weng, who was not a blood relative. Ma Chao was finally relieved.

With Han and Qiang blood, it is finally reconciliation.

Seeing the nine-foot man, he came out in sheep. Rao is a petite mother, and she can't help but burst into tears.

Tahiti, the Qiang neighbors of Nanxi and Beixi who came to the funeral also nodded their heads. Wipe away tears frequently.

Today's foal is tomorrow's unparalleled gold and horse super.

There is no hatred in the heart, only great love is boundless.

Heaven and earth are boundless, let them gallop.

Want. Ah Weng's spirit in heaven will also rest in peace.

Send off Ah Weng and bid farewell to his father. Ma Chao gave the sheep ** to his mother. Entered the martial arts arena alone and learned from his teacher. He practiced martial arts during the day and studied literature at night. The stars are moving, and the cold comes and the summer comes. Day after day.

Three-year-old looks old. Wang Fuyan said that this son should be the leader of the new generation of Ji Kingdom.

Longyou, Xihai County.

The West Sea is the land of Qiang. It was originally a pasture of Beiheqiang. The county town is Longqi, and the city is not big. One and a half miles horizontally and vertically. It is slightly longer from east to west and slightly shorter from north to south. This city guards the source of the water. It is surrounded by natural and excellent pastoral areas.

Previously. Liu Bei ordered his righteous brother Guan Yu to lead the troops according to Long Qi. Capture all the Beiheqiang people and build a city. Later, tens of thousands of miscellaneous Qiang were moved. Longqi is both a county and a prison city. The ancient city of the former Han Dynasty, which is one and a half miles long, has been renovated. And according to the plan, steadily build Zhongguo. It is a county seat, when it is five miles horizontally and vertically, and it is built with three circles of cities inside and outside.

The water and grass around the lake are abundant, suitable for grazing, but not over-cultivation. After the craftsman's field investigation, he reported to Liu Bei and set the place around the lake as "Muyi". Different from the "Mayi" used to graze horses in the country of thistle, Muyi produces more cattle, sheep and poultry. Vigorous efforts are being made to build livestock greenhouses, fenced pastures, hardened roads, and so on.

The craftsman also reported that one hundred and fifty miles northwest of Longqi City, there was a "nine-eyed spring". Later, it was called "the first sacred spring in the West Sea" and was located in the Ganzi River prairie. There are nine springs in the hot springs, the spring source is dark, the water color is clear, and the spring gushes inexhaustibly in all seasons. The water temperature is semi-boiling (60°), and the amount of water is sufficient.

There's clean energy nearby, and that's worth it.

This place was originally under the jurisdiction of Jianqiang County. The word Jian Qiang is not conducive to the coexistence of Han and Qiang. So Liu Bei changed the prison Qiang County to Jiuquan County. Nine-eyed hot spring, three-eyed for your own use. The remaining six eyes are lost to Long Qi. It can be used for daily drinking water. It can also be used in the boiler room to heat up and be used for heating, which also gets twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Bei also ordered craftsmen to build a hot spring soup hall on the spot for recuperation. It was named "Nine Springs Pavilion".

This visit to the West Sea. The first stop is Longqi, and the second stop is Jiuquan Soup House. Concubine Hui, the Third Lady, Luo Xu, Lu Xuan, the Amazon Queen, the Holy Sacrifice, the Ten Imperial Guards and others are all looking forward to it.

It is said that the king of thistles wants to give birth to hundreds of sons, and even heroes. The first day of the earthquake has already spread. Even if there is half male and half female, 200 children need to be born. Although everyone has a share, the so-called preconceived and orderly. It's better to be born early.

You don't see it, in order to classify Xiwoyi into the second princess Tang Muyi, King Ji specially put it on the table. It shows that the children of the Thistle King are the same. Concubines should be stress-free and feel at ease to get pregnant.

"Ministers, meet the king." Xihai guarded Hao Zhao too much, led the subordinate martial arts, and went out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

"Excuse me." Liu Bei opened the window and said with a smile: "Lead the way ahead." ”

"Whoa!"

The people got on the horses and boarded the car, led the shogunate to drive, and roared into the city.

Hao Zhao is young and old, and he can't see his age. When the official register was written, it was only sixteen. The sixteenth year has been the guardian of a county.

When the news came out, although it had been prepared, the official residence in Shengpingli also exclaimed. Hao Zhao was personally raised by Guan Yu, the former military captain of the younger brother of King Ji. Previously, the troops were sent to Longqi City, and Hao Zhao rushed into battle as the vanguard. The siege is the first to arrive. Courageous and strategic, he has repeatedly made military exploits. Guan Yu then gave it to his brother Liu Bei and let him show his talents.

The king of thistles knows how to make good use of it, and the world knows it.

The Chinese people have a proverb.

The sound is still in my ears. Hao Zhao has taken the lead, "two thousand and crown".
