Chapter 14: Intentions (Part II)
Li Zheng's plan to sinicize the Yeli Department of the plan to spread to Li Zheng's father-in-law Ye Likang and several elders of the Yeli Department, when he learned that Li Zheng was willing to teach them, got their full support, the reason for this situation, this is related to the Yeli Department and the fine seal department of the two departments bordering the Great Sui, deeply influenced by the Han people, especially the current chief Ye Likang when he was young once went to the imperial capital of the Great Sui Daxing City, he stayed there for more than a year, and he knew the power of the Han people very yearning for the prosperity and wealth of the Han land, Now his righteous son and future "son-in-law" wants to promote sinicization, and he naturally supports it vigorously.....
In order to promote Chinese characters, but also for the sinicization of the Yeli Department, Li Zheng took out a big killer in the education world, chalk and blackboard and Hanyu Pinyin, so in a short time, there were the following scenes:
Li Zheng took the whip, pointed to the blackboard and said, "Ah, I, hungry...... Also, no, the language ....."
Below, Yeli Heizhi, Yeli Dulan, and some other Yeli tribesmen who are willing to learn are also there and chant "Ah, I, hungry...... Also, no, the language ....."
..........
For Li Zheng, the Yeli Department thinks that he is the chosen person gifted to them by the gods and the ancestor Emperor Yu, otherwise there is no way to explain that Li Zheng has so many and so great abilities but he is in his own Yeli Ministry, with Li Zheng, the survival rate of livestock in the Yeli Department is much higher than that of the other seven.
The more livestock there is, the more wealth there is, isn't it? The more wealth you have, the faster your mouth increases, isn't it? It is also Li Zhengzai, the Yeli Department was the first to learn to settle in the eight departments of the party and have a preliminary city, the original party people built the house with stone foundation, with loess ramming as the wall, and with soil to cover the roof, or with oxtail and wool weaving to cover the roof, once a year, without bricks and tiles to build the house.
But now under the guidance of Li Zheng, they began to build houses with bricks and tiles, and the Yeli Department lived a stable life of semi-nomadic and semi-settled,....... it can be said that it was Li Zheng who took the lead in stepping into the threshold of civilization, and in a short period of time, Li Zheng's prestige could even be compared with Ye Likang.........
"Alain, Abba and Big Brother what are they doing??" When he watched Norikang and Nori Kuroyuki doing a strange dance where they were holding a sheepskin drum, Li Zheng Sparta, what was this limp doing?
"Poof......" Ye Lidulan smiled, "I thought you knew everything, brother, this is Yu Bu......"
Yu Bu?? Li Zheng really didn't know, but there was a little secretary of Ye Lidulan, and after some explanation, he finally knew that the party was the descendants of the ancient Qiang people and the Xianbei people, among which the Qiang people were the main ones, and Dayu was considered their ancestor by the Qiang people......
As for the relationship between Dayu and the Qiang people, Li Zheng knows, many ancient Chinese historical books record the relationship between Dayu, the Chinese tribe and the ancient Qiang people, as early as the Warring States Period, there is a saying that Dayu was born in Shiniu in the west; In the Han Dynasty, orthodox documents mostly say "Yusheng Xiqiang" or "Yuxing Xiqiang", and there are such records in the inscriptions at that time.
There is a noteworthy phenomenon, that is, there are many legends of Dayu and the birthplace of the legendary Dayu in the Qiang area today. For example, Mianchi Town, Wenchuan County, Tonghua Town, Lixian County, Lianping and other places have the existence of "Shiniu Mountain" and "Yuxue". This is because the people of the Han Dynasty said "Yusheng Guangrou Shiniu".
At that time, Guangrou County had a wide area, including almost all of the above-mentioned places, and this area has always been a Qiang people's settlement area, and the Qiang people worship Dayu, so his legends and relics are naturally all over the Qiang area in this area, and the Dangxiang people are a branch of the ancient Qiang people, and it is not surprising that they worship Emperor Yu.......
Thinking of this, Li Zheng remembered the famous assertion that the two major ethnic groups of Han and Tibet in later generations came from the ancient Qiang people. Support. Dry. The cloth has not yet been born, and the future Tubo is still a small tribe, so doesn't it mean that he can use this theory to gain benefits for himself?
There is a basis for saying that the ancient Qiang people are the main source of the Han nationality, and it is recorded in the "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" that "the Yellow Emperor taught Xiong, Zhen, Pi, Pi, and Tiger to fight with Emperor Yan in the wilderness of Hanquan", in fact, the Yellow Emperor led some clans or tribes with bears, 罴, Pi, Pi, Xiu, and Tiger as totems to fight against Emperor Yan. Morgan, a famous American anthropologist, said: There was a totem system popular in ancient China, and the surnames of later generations evolved from the totemic beliefs of primitive societies, such as cows, sheep, horses, and so on. This is generally recognized in the field of Chinese historiography.
From the above, it can be known that the surname Jiang of Emperor Yan contained in ancient documents actually reflects that Emperor Yan was originally a clan or tribal leader with "sheep" as a totem in ancient times in China. So, what is the meaning of the word "ginger"? We believe that Jiang Zheqiang also. The ancient text of the word "ginger" is from sheep and women, which symbolizes the meaning of women managing the flock; The ancient text of the word "Qiang" is from sheep and people, that is, it seems that people are kneeling with one foot milking goats for food. Mr. Gao Ming, a famous Chinese ancient writer, believes that "there is often no difference between the character of the woman and the character of the person in ancient writing."
From the phonetic point of view, Jiang and Qiang are slightly different from the current sound, and the ancient sound is no different, both belong to the Yang Department, roughly read (kan), which shows that Jiang and Qiang are indeed isomeric of the same word. From the perspective of the relationship between Emperor Yan and the Qiang people, it is generally believed that the Yandi clan is a branch of the Qiang people in the Ganqing area, "the sect god of the ancient Qiang clan tribe". Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The Biography of Xiqiang said: "The origin of Xiqiang is the surname of Jiang." Mr. Zhang Taiyan explained: "The surname Jiang comes from Xiqiang, and the non-Xiqiang comes from the surname Jiang". Jin Tuyan was killed by Jiang Cong, the chief of Qiang, and thought that he knew Qiang and Jiang's surname". However, there are also different opinions, which believe that "Qiang" comes from "ginger", "ginger" reflects the matrilineal clan society, and "qiang" reflects the patrilineal clan society. This further shows that Jiang and Qiang are the same word in ancient times, and there is a slight ambiguity in later generations.
The ancient Qiang people were born in the western region of China, and legend has it that the leader of the Qiang people was Emperor Yan. 5,000 years ago, the ancient Qiang led by Emperor Yan had a tribal war with the Yellow Emperor. After the defeat of Emperor Yan, the two tribes merged to form the prototype of the Huaxia tribe. After the defeat of the ancient Qiang people, a small number of ancient Qiang migrated westward and southward to Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and Chongqing. In the process of migration, the ancient Qiang people merged with the local aborigines to form the Tibetan, Yi, Qiang and other ethnic groups in later generations. It can be said that some ethnic groups such as Tibet, Yi, Qiang, and Han have a continuous blood relationship and are fraternal peoples.
Since the Dangxiang people are a branch of the ancient Qiang people, since they are a fraternal nation with the Han people, Li Zheng feels that he has sinicized them, and then he can use this as the foundation and starting point of his career.
