Chapter 221: Bai Gao Daxia

Sun Yi had been to Ningxia and couldn't help asking, "Wasn't Western Xia established by the party?" How could it be Donghu? And how can Tubo have anything to do with Donghu? ”

Dahai replied:

"It's true that the Xixia people are party members, and it's not true that they are Donghu, doesn't Staff Officer Sun think these two words are very similar? Most people in the Central Plains think that the party is the Qiang people, but in fact, the royal family of the party is from the Tuoba clan of Donghu Xianbei, although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave the surname Li, in fact, it is in the same vein as the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

"As for Tubo, there is another Xianbei people of the same clan as the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty After establishing Beiliang in Hexi, they entered Gannan in Qinghai and became the leader of the Qiang tribe, and finally became the royal family of Tubo, so Qinghai-Tibet is also called Tangut, and the high mountains there are called Tanggula Mountain."

Geng Xiu is a native of Ningxia, and he confirmed Dahai's statement: "It is true that the Western Xia Emperor Li Yuanhao once claimed that his ancestor was originally the emperor, and when the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he created the foundation of the Later Wei Dynasty. Li Yuanhao also issued a "shaving order", all party men were all shaved on the top of their heads, leaving only a circle around the edges, in order to restore the customs of Donghu. ”

"This Tuoba clan is too powerful!" , Sun Yi said with emotion.

"Staff Officer Sun," Da Hai smiled slightly, "In fact, compared to their ancestors, the Tuoba clan is not powerful at all. ”

"Dare to ask which ancestor of the Tuoba family is?"

Dahai took a deep look at the two of them and said slowly: "They are all Xianbei people. Xianbei is the royal family of the Xia Dynasty in the three generations! ”

Geng Xiucai immediately jumped up: "How can this be reasonable!" No way! ”

Dahai smiled bitterly: "Staff Officer Geng, can you allow me to finish my words and then kill me?" ”

Sun Yi immediately said: "Dr. Dahai, please rest assured, we have the freedom to learn here, how dare we blame you for disagreeing with your views?" ”

Dahai was slightly surprised: "Is this true? Can Staff Officer Sun call the shots? ”

"Yes!" Sun Yi replied firmly, "But since it is a study, you have to pay attention to seeking truth from facts, and ask Dr. Dahai to present facts to justify himself." ”

Although Geng Xiucai was angry, he still said to Da Haiyan: "Don't worry, Staff Officer Sun can definitely do it." This place is different from the Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that it is also different from your love for the new country, otherwise, otherwise I would have died several times! ”

"Good! That's good! Dahai's voice trembled, obviously a little excited, "I usually don't dare to say these words. Spit up today! ”

Dahai stood up and gushed out:

"The grassland desert in the north was dominated by the Xiongnu first, and at that time, the Xianbei people retreated to the Great Xianbei Mountain to protect themselves. The Huns fled eastward, and Xianbei led the way. After that, the Turks came to the west, and Xianbei retreated to Donghu. After the Tang Dynasty, Xianbei became Liao, Jin, Xia, and Tubo to occupy the northern country and even the Central Plains, which were broken by the Mongols one by one, and the population disappeared, and now only one Xibe is left. ”

"Let's talk about this Xianbei Mountain first. Xianbei people are not named after the mountain, but the mountain is named after Xianbei. Wherever the Xianbei people go, they call the mountain Xianbei Mountain. Xianbei Mountain is a Chinese translation, the real pronunciation of the name of Xianbei Mountain should be written as 'Xia En Alin', and people on the grassland know that 'Xia En Alin' is a white mountain. 'Alin' is the meaning of high mountain in Xibe and Manchu, 'Xiaen' is the name of the mountain, 'Xiaen' is the Chinese 'Xian', and 'Xia'en Alin' is read together as 'Xing'anling'. ”

"There are two Khing'an Mountains on the grassland. The mountains on both sides of the Heilongjiang River are the Outer Xing'an Mountains and the Inner Xing'an Mountains, and the Inner Xing'an Mountains are divided into the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Small Xing'an Mountains. These mountains called 'Hung Yen' are all tall snow-capped mountains. Heilongjiang Manchu is called 'Sakhalian Ula', Mongolian is called 'Karamulian', which means 'black river', and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Heilongjiang's Chinese name was 'Heishui'. Therefore, there is a saying that Xianbei originates from white mountains and black water. ”

"Wait", Sun Yi couldn't help but interrupt Dahai, "The Western Xia people worship white, and the Western Xia also has a name called Bai Gao Daxia Kingdom, is it related to this white mountain and black water?" ”

Sun Yi hurriedly visited the Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty, where the imperial sculptures were dressed in white imperial robes. This is a peculiar feature in China's thousands of years of history, and it left a deep impression on Sun Yi.

There is a square plaque on the position of the entrance door in the Xixia King Mausoleum Scenic Area, which looks like a Chinese character, and does not recognize a word when you look closely. The tour guide said that it was the Xixia language, engraved in the stone tablet unearthed from the tomb of the Xixia king, how to pronounce it has been unknown to anyone, the experts deciphered the four words according to the upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left meaning respectively "white", "upper", "country", "big", because the unearthed Xixia Han Buddhist scriptures have the words "white high Xia country", later generations think that according to the Xixia grammar should be "white high Xia".

As for why Western Xia is called Bai Gao Daxia, the tour guide joked that maybe it was because Western Xia was a country founded by Caucasians, or maybe because the Yellow River flowing through Western Xia originated from the snow-capped mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It's a mystery for the ages, anyway.

In addition, the tour guide introduced that the first three sentences of the Western Xia book "Hymn to Xia Shenggen" are: "The black head stone city is by the desert water, the red face is on the white river, and the Gao Mi medicine country is on the other side", which is said to indicate the origin of the Western Xia. There is also a record in the Western Xia text: "The origin of the Baihe River: the source of the Baigao River is the source of the Baipo, and the roots of the people are also." ”

Another Tangut couplet collected and sorted out by the Tangut script, the most famous sentence is "Baigaohe, should not be named, the ground is gray; The tenth-level mausoleum should have no head, and the peak is missing. ”

The tour guide said that if anyone could decipher these few words, they could reveal the mysterious origin of Western Xia. Sun Yi firmly remembered these words, but he couldn't figure it out. Now that Dahai mentioned it, he suddenly opened Sun Yi's memory.

Dahai was surprised: "Staff Officer Sun actually knows this!" ”

Sun Yi said nonsense: "Well, it's all about listening to others when chatting." ”

Dahai pondered for a moment and said:

"The ancient books of the Central Plains: Xia, Daya. Therefore, the ancient book cloud is said to be summer. Xia Yu is Dayu. That's just one thing! Shane, is fresh, fresh is summer, white also; The inferior, Boye, the honorific title of the ancients, is still called Baylor in Manchu, and Buick is still called in Turkic, which means high and high; Xianbei, transliterated Bai Gao, transliterated Xia Boye, later known as Xia Hou, the royal family of the Xia Dynasty! ”

"Nonsense!" , Geng Xiucai really couldn't bear it, "Huaxia is China!" There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. China has great etiquette, so it is called summer! ”

"Counselor Geng", Da Haidao, "You have been deceived, since Qin Shi Huang, the Central Plains people have only seen the Great Wall, and they think that they have their own lineage in the world. Before the Zhou Dynasty, where was Huaxia for China! Clothes can be called beautiful and ugly, but etiquette is not about size? There is a saying in "Shangshu", "Barbarian and cunning Xia, thieves and traitors". Qianxia and barbarian are called together, how can it refer to China? In "The Legend of the Ram", Confucius regards Lu as China, Zhuxia outside China, and Yidi outside Zhuxia. ”

"Ancient Chinese history, from my perspective as an outsider, is that the Xia and Hua tribes were intertwined and entangled along the Yellow River, after which the Xia people were forced to move north. Why is pre-Qin writing difficult to understand? It's because it's mixed in with a lot of words other than Chinese! Why are pre-Qin names obscure? It's because those are interracial names! Why does China have couplets? It is because the Chinese language has two origins, and each meaning has two words against each other! ”

Sun Yi thought of the four-character plaque at the entrance of the tomb of the Western Xia king. According to Dahai's explanation, the two characters on the right of the four words are "Baigao" from top to bottom, and the column on the left is "Xia Da" from top to bottom; White vs. Xia, high vs. big, it's really a neat couplet!

Dahai used his advantages to interpret history from the perspective of the languages of various ethnic groups in the north, and jumped out of the circle of Central Plains writers, which made Sun Yi refreshed.

Sun Yizao forgot the idea of sowing seeds for Dahai, and couldn't wait to ask:

There are also two couplets in Western Xia. The first one talks about the origin of Western Xia, which when translated into Chinese roughly means 'the black head stone city is desert on the water's edge, and the red face is on the white river'. The second is a proverb, which translates into Chinese as 'Bai Gao River, should not be named, the ground is gray; The tenth-level mausoleum should have no head, and the peak is missing'. What does Dr. Dahai think? ”

Da Hai stood up with a sigh of relief, "The Western Xia language is like the Khitan language, the Jurchen language has been lost, I didn't expect that there are still people who can translate it now!" Can Staff Officer Sun introduce this master to Dahai? ”

Sun Yi hurriedly rambled: "I met him by chance, and I don't know where he is now." ”

Dahai expressed deep disappointment, as if a child had been robbed of his beloved toy by his life and sat down lonely.

Sun Yi prompted: "Dr. Dahai, what do these two couplets mean...... There is also a saying that the origin of the Baihe River is the Baigao River, the source of the water comes out, the origin of the Baipo, and the roots of the people. ”

Dahai fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Dahai raised his head.

"Since these two sentences are Chinese translations, to interpret these two sentences, we have to start with the Donghu language." On the edge of the desert water in the black-headed stone city, on the white river of the red-faced father's mound, it should be the source of the two ethnic groups in Western Xia. The first sentence speaks of commoners, and the second refers to the royal family. ”

"Black-headed Stone City Desert Water'. 'Blackhead' is converted back to the Donghu language, which can be the Mongolian word 'Hara', which means 'black', which means the lower Mongolian people. 'Heitou' can also be used as Mongolian 'Karaqin', the name of a Mongolian tribe, and the Ming people translated it as 'Heilangzhong'. The Karaqin are not a golden family, but have been under the orders of the Mongol Great Khan tribe Chahar for generations. Chahar means white. Xianbei respects white and black is the bottom, and the black head should be the Qiang tribe in Western Xia, obeying the orders of the Xianbei royal family. The black-headed stone city desert waterside can be interpreted as the stone city walled by the Yellow River in the desert originating from the Qiang people in the Western Xia. ”

"On the white river of the red-faced father's mound, the red-faced corresponding blackhead, it is said that it is the Tuoba royal family of Western Xia, and the ancestral tombs of their ancestors are in the upper reaches of the White River."

"The origin of the Baihe River is the Baigao River, the source of the water comes out, the origin of the Baipo, and the roots of the people. To put it in more detail, the upper reaches of the Baihe River are called the Baigao River, and the Baigao River originates from the Baishan Mountains and is the root of the nation. This sentence can be readjusted to say that the upper reaches of the Xia River are the Xianbei River, which originated in the Xing'an Mountains and is the source of the tribe. ”

"Bai Gaohe, you should not call your name, and the ground is gray. Speaking of the location of the Xianbei River! Baigao River, should not be named. That is to say, the White High River is not its real name. The three words of the gray lips give a riddle, the appearance of the Baigao River is stone, gray, and sandwiched in the middle, this is the black water, which is now called the black water of Heilongjiang River and is sandwiched between the two Xing'an Mountains! The tenth-level mausoleum should have no head, and the peak is missing. It is said that there is no end to the ancestors buried in the ancestral tombs of the Xianbei people, and the location is in the missing place of the mountain peak. ”

Dahai suddenly stood up, looking extremely excited, and shouted: "I understand! ”

Sun Yi and Geng Xiucai looked at Dahai who was dancing, eagerly awaiting his explanation.

Dahai sat down excitedly and couldn't help but explain his new discovery to the two:

"Xianbei is divided into three parts, called Xibo, Xi, and Khitan. Tin, Xi, and Qi are actually all transliterations of 'Xian' or 'Xia', which means white. Xibo is white high, Xi is white, and Khitan is white. 'Lower' is pronounced 'Dan' or 'Duan' in Turkic! These three Xianbei may be distributed in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, or in the high places, slopes, and lower reaches of the Xing'an Mountains, or they may have high or low status within the Xia people, or a combination of the three. These three all think that they are derived from Xianbei, but Xi and Khitan dare not call Xianbei, and only Xibo dares to say that he is a descendant of Xianbei! ”

Xianbei founded the Tuoba clan in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into the Northern Zhou of the Xianbei Yuwen clan and the Northern Qi of the Xianbei Gao clan, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Dynasties, and the Sui inherited the Northern Zhou Dynasty to rule the world, and since then the Tang Dynasty has been opened. Tang originated in Taiyuan, Shanxi, which is the foundation of Xianbei. The Tang of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang of Tangut may both originate from the East of Donghu. Tang Taizong single-handedly persuaded the Turkic soldiers to retreat, how could he say that Li Shimin did not understand nonsense? Tang Taizong was revered as the 'Heavenly Khan' by the grassland tribes, which stemmed from his royal status as a Xia clan! There is the Tang generation, which can be said to be the Xia tribe turned over and became the master, so the grassland tribes have obeyed the orders of the Tang Dynasty! ”

After the Tang Dynasty, the Xia people did not accept the control of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Baigao tribe of the Xia people established the Xia Dynasty, the Baixia tribe Khitan established the Liao Dynasty, and the rest of the Xia tribe who stayed in Baishan and Heishui established the Jin Dynasty. Each of these three dynasties had its own script, which was similar to Chinese characters. It can be described as the second Northern and Southern Dynasties. ”

"It's a pity that the population of these three dynasties continued to move south, and finally they were driven and slaughtered by Meng Yuan, and only a weak Xibe was left on the foundation of the Xia clan between the white mountains and black waters, and it became a subsidiary of Horqin."

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

At the end, Dahai sang by the river and burst into tears.

Sun Yi whispered a few words to Geng Xiucai, and Geng Xiucai sang the song card immediately after Dahai's words.

"The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road.

Looking at the western capital, he hesitated.

Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”

Sun Yi stepped forward to relieve Dahai: "The confluence of China is not necessarily a bad thing. Isn't it more important for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the literati to concentrate on their studies, than which royal family ascends the throne? ”

Dahai asked rhetorically: "What Counselor Sun said is a paradise, how can it exist in reality?" First Mengyuan Genghis Khan, then Zhu Yuanzhang, and now there is the old Han king Nurhachi, which one in this world is not divided and united? ”

Jia Daoshi didn't know when he came, he shook the feather fan and said in the foreword:

"Dr. Dahai's words are wrong! We just want to wholeheartedly build a paradise royal paradise and revive the rule of three generations! ”

Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Jian, also known as Yunmeng Qin Jian, is a Qin Dynasty bamboo slip unearthed in December 1975 in the No. 11 tomb of Sleeping Tiger Land in Chengguan, Yunmeng County, Hubei Province, China. These bamboo slips are precious historical materials for studying politics, economy, culture, law and military from the late Warring States period to the Qin Shi Huang period, and are also the basis for checking ancient books.

"What is Natsuko? The father of the minister, the mother of Qin is also. ”

The Book of Jin was supervised by Fang Xuanling, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, and others, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once issued an "edict to repair the Book of Jin" and personally participated. In the Book of Jin, there is such a written record of the origin of the Murong family: "Murong, the word Yi Luozhu, the Xianbei people of Changli Thorn City, the first of which were the Miao descendants of the Xiong family, lived in Beiyi, and lived in the field of Zimeng, called Donghu". "Youxiong" is another name for the Yellow Emperor tribe, one of the important totems of the Yellow Emperor tribe is the bear, so the Yellow Emperor tribe is also called "Youxiong".

The "Northern History" of the Twenty-Four Histories was written by the famous historian Li Yanshou of the Tang Dynasty, and "The First History of the Northern History of Wei Benji" said: "Wei Zhixian came from the Xuanyuan clan of the Yellow Emperor, and the son of the Yellow Emperor was called Changyi, and the young son of Changyi was enshrined in the northern country, and there was a great Xianbei Mountain, because it was called."

After that, various documents pointed out that the Tuoba clan of Western Xia was the same clan as the Tuoba clan of Northern Wei. The Khitan Yelu clan and Wanyan Jin all claimed to be descendants of Emperor Yan and Miao.

Whatever the facts may be, they themselves and their descendants believe this statement anyway.
