About Chapter 65 Story Introduction: After the defeat of the founding monarch of Later Liang, Lü Guang, after the successive defeats in the conquest of Southern Liang and Northern Liang, was already old and sick, coupled with his impatience and soon became bedridden, Lü Guang was dying, and invited his three sons to entrust the funeral, and then died, what Lü Guang did not expect was that soon after his death, the second son Lü Su launched a coup d'état to kill his eldest brother Lü Shao and his younger brother Lü Hong, and ascended to the throne of the former Liang lord, Lü Su wanted to make a big move, but was defeated by Nanliang one after another, and within a few years, Lu Su, who was disheartened by the national government, was killed by the clan Lu Chao because of trivial matters, and the ministers of Houliang supported Lu Long to inherit the position of the lord of Houliang, and the Houliang regime also began to perish in internal and external troubles.

In this story, about the decline of the Houliang regime, we have already talked about it before, that is, after the establishment of the Houliang regime, the Di ethnic group basically completed the sinicization, the national identity disappeared, the national cohesion was lost, and there was bound to be a coup d'état and rebellion within it, but Lu Su's usurpation of the throne was relatively successful, at least to help himself sit in the position of the lord of the Houliang country for a few years, but the final result was to be abandoned by a large number of nobles who were loyal to the monarch and patriotic, after Lu Su was killed, Lu Long, who inherited the position of the lord of the Houliang state, took over a complete mess, and the Nanliang regime continued to press on Guzang, the capital of the Houliang regime, under the leadership of the bald and lily Lu Gu, and the Houliang regime was already in danger.

When the successful usurpation of the Houliang lord Lu Su was angry and led the army to attack the Nanliang regime, the Nanliang army defeated Lu Long under the leadership of the bald brother of the bald Lugu, and in this war, the bald Wei Tan took the Hu bed and sat in the shade of the tree to calm the army's heart, and finally broke the Houliang army, which is of course because the Xianbei bald hair department did not have the Sinicization of the Di people, and the Nanliang regime established by the Xianbei bald hair department has always maintained the military advantage of the Houliang regime established by the Di people. Here we mainly use the Hu bed used by the bald Tan to talk in detail about the influence of the Sixteen Kingdoms period on our living culture.

The Hu bed is our common seat today, Maza, which originated from the nomadic people, because of its small and convenient size, we still use it today. As we said before, the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms is an important period in which the Chinese nation has continuously absorbed the nomadic culture and changed its original way of life in the historical process of ethnic integration. The wide application of Hu beds can also be said to be a sign of a change in the way we live.

In fact, since the Han-Hungarian War as a way of cultural exchanges between the settled peoples and the nomads, the culture of the nomads has been influencing the culture of the settled peoples in our Central Plains from beginning to end, until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the large-scale southward migration of the main body of the Xiongnu ethnic group, our Central Plains Dynasty began to be more deeply influenced by the nomadic culture, as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the living culture of the nomads began to affect the lives of the nobles of our Central Plains Dynasty, according to historical records, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who liked to imitate the living habits of the nomads, but until the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the living habits of the nomads were only prevalent among the nobles of the Central Plains Dynasty at that time, especially in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, because of the frequent wars, the soldiers needed to run around in the field for a long time to fight, and the Hu bed we talked about in the story in this chapter should have become popular among our Han ancestors during this period, and was regarded as a relatively high status seat. Because only the head of the army is qualified to sit on the battlefield and direct the battle.

After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the weakness and defects of the landlord class in the ruling ability, it eventually led to the emergence of the bloody period of ethnic integration in the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, during this period, a large number of nomadic tribes entered the Central Plains, bringing bloody killings at the same time, but also brought the culture of the nomads, so in this historical stage of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the newly formed Han ancestors in the northern region of our country began to learn or follow the living habits of the nomads on the grassland on a large scale. Sitting on the ground is no longer regarded as the etiquette standard of Chinese culture, but the families who moved to the Jiangnan area at that time still regarded themselves as Chinese orthodoxy, so they still retained the habit of sitting on the ground in the south. However, when the northern dynasties gradually tended to be unified, the newly formed Han ancestors completed the cultural integration and the transformation of the ruling class, and completely reintegrated the Chinese land that had been divided for more than 300 years, and the contradictions derived from the cultural differences between the south and the north also gradually eased in the prosperous era after the Sui and Tang dynasties, so after the Tang Dynasty, the way of living of the entire Chinese nation has also completed major changes. You will find that the ancient ancestors of this period are completely different from us in terms of living and lifestyle, while the TV series of the Ming and Qing dynasties are the same as our current way of living.

The change in the way of life of our ancient ancestors is from the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, because from that period, the overall culture of our Chinese nation is also undergoing subtle changes, not only in terms of daily life, but also in terms of religious beliefs, changes in the funeral system, etc., this history of national integration is the most epoch-making historical period in the history of our Chinese civilization, but now when people look at this history, It's just that they stay on the narrow national complex, and can't really understand and tolerate this history, but they are constantly complaining and complaining that this history has brought too much suffering to our Han ancestors, and it is of course incorrect to look at this history with this attitude.

When we are able to sit down today and enjoy the physical growth brought about by the stretching of our muscles and bones, we do not know that this fine living habit is what we learned from the nomads. In fact, since the beginning of the Han-Hungarian War after the Qin and Han dynasties. Under the political situation of constant wars and peace between the nomadic peoples in the north and our Central Plains Dynasty, the culture of the entire Chinese nation has been continuously developed and made breakthroughs around national integration. The change in daily life and lifestyle is only a breakthrough in the culture of the Chinese nation brought about by the great integration of nationalities. But this is only a breakthrough in this area. It has brought a lot of benefits to the people we have today. For example, the inheritance of China's furniture culture is unique in the world. Hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties has always been a window for us to show Chinese culture to the outside world. This excellent furniture culture is also formed because of the change in the way we live and live. Therefore, to this day, we people today all sigh at the broad spirit of Chinese culture, but we do not know that behind our profound culture is actually how much nomadic culture has been integrated, which at least has to be opened, and a considerable part of it is a valuable legacy left by the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

In fact, the Nanliang regime was just a small regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Its national strength is completely at the bottom, and its reputation in later generations is extremely low. However, the development of the Xining region of Qinghai by the Nanliang regime caused our later dynasties to gradually attach importance to the control of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it was not until the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties that our Central Plains Dynasty completed its complete control of the Tibetan region. Therefore, for more than 700 years, Tibet has become an inalienable part of China's territory. There is also the Northern Liang regime that competed for hegemony in the Liangzhou region with the Southern Liang regime, and a part of its main ethnic group, after the fall of the Northern Liang regime, fled north to the Mongolian steppe, and took refuge in the overlord of the grassland at that time, the Rouran Khanate, when the Rouran Khanate went into decline, the remnants of this part of the Northern Liang regime built the famous Turkic Khanate in the middle and west, and many ethnic minorities in the northwest of our country still regard themselves as descendants of the Turks. But what they don't know is that their direct ancestors are from the Beiliang regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and most of the main tribes of the Beiliang regime have merged into the Han ancestors, so we are brothers with the ethnic minorities in the northwest region. Although many of these countries in the Sixteen Kingdoms period are not well known to us today, and even the Sixteen Kingdoms period, because of frequent wars and frequent regime changes, so the remnants of this historical period are very rare, but this does not affect us to explore and understand the significance of this history.

The period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, starting from 304 A.D., until the end of 439 A.D., and the great integration of ethnic groups in this period to the Sinicization reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was basically completed, so calculated, the nomads basically completed the sinicization, a total of about 150 years of time, if this history is said to be regressive, barbaric, it is impossible to exist for such a long time, so, I think this history is progressive, is able to represent the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups at that time, although people are tired of war, But at the same time, they were more eager for cultural progress, but the shortcomings of the ruling class at that time made the great national integration that could have been carried out in a peaceful way synonymous with war and bloodshed, and this period of history during the Sixteen Kingdoms period was deliberately "forgotten".

It can be seen that this period of history in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms is progressive, positive, we should not look at this history with colored eyes, just a change in the way of life, so that people today benefit a lot, and the two-legged stirrup we talked about before has played a vital role in the history of world civilization, which is of course also the result of the collision of nomadic culture and our settled culture during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, anyway, This period of history during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms is of indispensable significance to the development and progress of the people of our country and the world.
