Volume 1 The Siege of the Castle Chapter 22 The Eve of the Siege
The following sacrifices and the celebrations after the harvest do not need to be detailed. After a big meal, because of the metal axe, two wild boars and four sika deer were killed by the violent brother of Jin Gang, and the limbs were completed in an instant.
A straight bonfire was lit at the cave/doorway, and on two platforms tied up with rattan, there were two long bamboo poles, which were hung with pork legs and deer legs, and pork venison, which were cut into strips by sharp axes at will, and hung on wooden hooks with rattan sticks, and rabbits and pheasants were directly smoked and roasted on the shelves.
A gust of wind blew, the fragrance was overflowing, although the children were eaten tonight and their bellies were round, but they still drooled when they smelled the meat, and the little children kept sucking their fingers.
Everyone looked at the various kinds of meat roasted on the fire, and the fish hanging at the mouth of the cave like dry wood. I have never felt so calm and at ease, and there are three uncaught fish in the creek, which can be turned into dried fish and hung in the burrow at any time if needed.
And their Son of Heaven told them that there were more fish in the river opposite than in the stream, and there was something called a net, as long as the fish in the river could be turned into dried fish at any time after making it. (That's a twist.)
They knew that in this snowy winter, for the first time, the tribe would no longer have to worry about food, and they would no longer need to be afraid of the cold, because their emperor said that they could cut out fur that fit the shape of their bodies with an axe, and sew out animal skins called clothes that fit their bodies with needles, and when it was not snowing, they could also go out hunting without fear of frostbite.
Their Son of Heaven told them that they would also make hats, gloves, masks, shoes, socks, etc., so that they could wrap their whole bodies in fur and no longer be afraid of the biting cold wind.
And what the Son of Heaven has told, some they have seen, and some have not, but what does it matter? Everyone in the tribe is convinced of this, and they are convinced that their Celestial Dragon tribe will get better and better, because they have witches, leaders, and the wise and wise Son of Heaven, and all they need to do is to follow the Son of Heaven with their own hands to achieve all this.
The eyes of the people who looked at the Son of Heaven became even more adoring, admiring and convinced.
Wang Tian faced everyone's eyes like first love, and he was already beginning to regret saying so much to everyone, there were thousands of things to do, and he was only one person, and he was too full of words, was it really good?
The entire Shenzhou has been saying that people are people-oriented from ancient times to later generations, and in fact, in any era in history, there is no period that can be more needed than the present era. This sentence originally said that in this era, getting more food to let individual human beings live is people-oriented, giving up hunting and gathering wild fruits that rely on the sky for food, instead planting grain and storing food, and choosing to rely on the land to settle is people-oriented, in the past, in order to survive, even choosing people to eat people, in fact, it is also people-oriented, but it is too ......
With the population, tribes, alliances, and countries can survive, and at the beginning of people-oriented, it has never had anything to do with what the world is the same, and what is the king is light, and the society has nothing to do with it, the king is the first person, and the second is the king.
People-oriented was first clearly put forward by Guan Zi, he said: "The beginning of the husband overlord is also people-oriented; This principle will be solid for the country, and chaos will be in danger. However, the idea of putting people first can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, which is a kind of rejection of the dominant theology of the Mandate of Heaven in the Yin Shang era.
In the Yin Shang era, human beings had just come out of the state of barbarism, and they were deeply in awe and fear of the great power of heaven and earth, and people believed in ghosts and gods, and obeyed the "mandate of heaven". Everything is judged by the "Mandate of Heaven" and everything is subject to the arrangement of the "Mandate of Heaven," and the "Mandate of Heaven" becomes the supreme master, completely dominating all the lives of the state and society.
Wang Tian, a god, never wanted this,
He hoped that people would recognize the mandate of heaven as knowledge, that knowledge could be mastered by people, and that divine power would not be superior to human rights if it was suppressed by human rights.
In fact, our ancestors did the same, when almost all parts of the world were higher than imperial power, or higher than human rights, our ancestors had already put forward the concept of putting people first.
Since then, China has become probably the only country in the world where theocracy has never surpassed human rights.
Chinese only believe in ancestors, not ghosts and gods, which makes foreigners puzzled, thinking that Chinese have no faith, but what they don't know is that Chinese believe in ancestors, that is, they are believing in themselves. Believing in one's own hands is much more reliable than believing in the ethereal immortals.
In ancient times, people-oriented was to let human beings multiply and survive, in the slave era was to let human beings become the masters of the earth, and in the feudal era, it was to start from people, take the people as the precious, and let human beings go further.
Wang Tian suddenly felt that he had the potential to become a thinker, and he ran in such a big circle in his mind, in fact, he was uneasy, development can be slow, civilization may regress, but as long as human beings can survive, the dawn of civilization will always point out the way forward for mankind.
After streamlining and tempering, in fact, there is a sentence: "A small life matters." "People-oriented, in order to be the family and the country, first there are people, then there are tribes, alliances, and then the country. The establishment of civilization depends on the existence of tribes, and the existence of tribes depends on a wall at the moment.
A wall that separates threats from civilization, and is human-oriented, is to put oneself in a safe siege, to confine oneself, but at the same time to limit all dangers outside the siege. If you can't put all the dangers of the outside world in a cage, then it is a wise choice to choose to lock yourself in a cage to isolate yourself from external threats.
When people can't change external causes, what they can do is change themselves.
Wang Tian is now deciding to do this, and it's just about a wall, a wall that protects the tribe. But this is not the protection of civilization, and it is not the beginning of an epoch-making.
Human beings will begin to use their own hands to drastically change the natural landscape, human beings start from the first artificial structure from the tree, just like everything is people-oriented, even in later generations, human beings have not stopped exploring.
Then let's start with a glimpse of the walls of the Celestial Dragon Tribe! The increase of civilization brick by brick, there must be a beginning, and it doesn't matter if the end is never-ending!
