First of all, I want to say that no matter which dynasty or generation, as long as it is a rebellion, it is equivalent to pinning your head to the waistband of your trousers, and your half destiny has been handed over to the king of Hades.

People who live with half their lives every day, if they don't have some strength in their hearts, they can't bear this kind of pressure at all.

And the way to alleviate this pressure is to create a pure faith that in the present war is the honor of the soldier and the country.

But in ancient times there was no honor to speak of, and their faith was religion.

Speaking of religion, many people now think that it is superstition and heresy.

I don't think that's entirely true.

For today's science, religion does have its false side, it has excessive propaganda, giving demons myths, brainwashing myths to sink people, and people who have not been systematically educated at all to believe in it.

But for the politics and current situation at that time, it was a kind of spiritual support.

Under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the common people were not allowed to hold knives alone, even kitchen knives for chopping vegetables were not allowed to be held, and the government of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that only ten households could share a kitchen knife, not to mention other knives.

I still can't figure out how people cooked in that era, ten families could have a kitchen knife, and it was estimated that the days of the day had passed when I sat down for that meal.

You don't need to do anything else!

Even in this case, the highest-ranking Mongol kills the lowest-level southerner, and the only punishment is to lose a donkey, and if he encounters a horizontal Yuan person, even the donkey may be spared.

On the contrary, if a Nanren kills a Mongol (what did he kill a Mongol), it would be like piercing the sky, even if he didn't exterminate the nine tribes, he would have to kill all three tribes!

I believe that many people's understanding of Mingjiao comes from TV series, and this is also the deepest, that is, we are well-known: "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". It was later remade into a movie and adapted into a game, and that's true. But what we should know more is that his source, author: Jin Yong (formerly known as Zha Liangyong. ）

Mr. Zha is also based on historical facts, and on this basis, he has added some martial arts atmosphere. That's why I think everything that is divorced from the facts is fantasy and unrealistic. We should also have a correct understanding of history, because it can tell us a lot of truths and teach us a lot of lessons, and I think this is the fundamental reason why we should record history.

It is in this extreme situation that if you want to rebel, it is almost impossible to gather tens of thousands of horses to organize a vote without any psychological support.

That's why religion spread throughout the ages!

The main reason why I want to tell the origin of Mingjiao is that in my opinion, reading history is not only for interest, but also for understanding it, so that we can help us understand history and people.

The establishment of a dynasty must have its subjective factors, but more because of his objective reasons, why he will update from an old dynasty to a new dynasty, why he wants to break the old and establish a new, the reason for this should be understood and understood from a deep level.

Although there is only one word difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Sect, I think the reason why our starling uses him as a name is more because of the opportunities and good luck it brings him.

Okay, that's a bit biased, so let's talk about Mingjiao.

Mingjiao's original name was not Mingjiao, his real name was Manichaeism, and he was also called Muniism.

The original birthplace was the ancient Persian Sassanid Dynasty, founded by the Persian Mānī (216-277 AD) in the middle of the 3rd century AD, which is why our beautiful Xiao Zhao beauty has a unique temperament that is not a Central Plains beauty, because she is not a Central Plains person at all, and even said that she is not Chinese.

She is from Persia.

A true Persian saint!

In the eyes of many people, Mingjiao should be a simple sect, just like Buddhism, but with a different name.

In fact, the real Mingjiao is not as simple as we think.

The most famous of them are Christianity, Buddhism, and a religion that is not very well known, which is called the Sho Religion, which spreads the Mazda teachings, and has a great spread and influence in Iran and other regions today.

The doctrine of Mingjiao is "the theory of two sects and three worlds". It is also called "two sects and three worlds".

The so-called two sects are the two sects of light and dark.

Ming represents light, justice, goodness, reason, and peace.

The so-called darkness is darkness, evil, and desire.

The light and shade mentioned here are of the same nature as the yin and yang in our thoughts.

These two forces are in opposition to each other, they exist against each other, and they are constantly fighting.

The struggle needs to go through three processes, namely: the primary, middle, and posterior, which are the three worlds.

In the initial stage here, there is no heaven and earth, it is a chaotic time (some like our ancient chaotic period), all matter no longer exists, but in it there have gradually appeared two forces, light and dark, bright and wise, dark but dull, and the two are already in opposition at this time. (If you don't understand, just think more about the environment when Pangu opened the sky, and you can roughly understand the truth.) ）

History often teaches us a truth, that is, justice often comes very late, if it is not for the arrogance of the dark side to a certain terrible degree, justice will generally not appear, which is why it is said that the devil is a foot taller and the devil is a foot taller.

In the intermediate stage, the power of darkness began to expand, oppressing the power of the light on one side, and the originally flat scale began to gradually favor the dark side, and at this time, the power of the light began to gradually weaken. It is in this situation that the power of darkness becomes more and more rampant. And the power of light began to absorb energy to prepare for a counterattack when there was no way to retreat, and at this time, the "Ming King" was born, leading the light to fight against the darkness, and finally driving the darkness away (remember, it is to drive away and not to eliminate. ）

In the end, the light and shade return to the position, this is the future, the light and dark reset, and the near future.

Having said all this, the main thing I want to tell you is a process of evolution, which has a lot in common with the fall of a dynasty and the creation of a new dynasty in some respects.

In Mingjiao, there is no real God, I checked a lot of information, and I didn't find his exact leader, if I have to say that there is, I think it is "King Ming" himself, that is, Mani.

But Mani only called himself a prophet of God, a being for the benefit of the people.

Under the "King of Ming", it is the Ming Envoy, also called Ming Zun (everyone should know one person here, that is Yang Xiao, he is the Left Envoy of Light).

His mission was to spread the teachings of the Enlightened Pope.

Mingjiao first came to Xinjiang in China in the sixth and seventh centuries and began to flourish. Then it spread to the Central Plains little by little, and it was popular in China many times, but it was suppressed many times because of his rebellion, which seriously threatened political rule, so it was also called a cult.

Because the god they worship, that is, Mani himself, does not look like a Central Plains person, but completely looks like a Westerner, with a high nose, big eyes, white hair, etc., people who have never seen the market naturally associate with the devil.

Therefore, it is also called the Demon Sect, which is the origin of the Demon Sect.
