Chapter 152: Determined to Run Forward
Liu Ru was quite incredulous: "How does he know? How come I never read it? β
"There is no such thing as a record. Because Cangjie made characters in the period of the Yellow Emperor, all records started from that time, of course, there are no relevant records. β
Liu Ru thought about it, and this also made sense. There are no written texts, and certainly no written books.
"Isn't that unfounded?"
"Yes, of course. Sister, do you know what the Yellow Emperor's surname is? β
"Gongsun."
"Another one."
"Hime."
"Well, what about Emperor Yan?"
"Ginger."
"Where's Dayu?"
"Summer, uh...... You mean, hey. You mean, these surnames have a female character next to them? Isn't this reason too naΓ―ve? β
"The three generations of Xia Shang and Zhou in the pre-Qin Dynasty are all surnames next to female characters, can't it explain the problem? The surname next to the female character obviously had a very high status at that time. I can't think of any other explanation for the root cause than that there was an earlier era when women were exalted. β
Liu Ru felt that she was almost convinced, but she immediately discovered the flaw in Chen Yuan's words: "The Shang Dynasty has a clear surname, where is there a female character?" β
Chen Yuan smiled, she asked this question: "Does my sister know about Mu Xin?" β
Although Liu Ru was full of poetry and books, she didn't know everything, so she thought for a while before asking: "But how is Wu Ding's wife?" β
"What does my sister think of her last name?"
"Of course, the surname is 'good', ah? Are you saying that the word 'good' is actually the word 'Zi' in the Shang Dynasty's national surname? The surname of the Shang Dynasty was actually written as 'good'? β
Liu Ru finally accepted this explanation.
"Well, even if there was such a period before ancient times, so what? It can't change the current situation! β
"It brings us to how men took over the position of tribal leader from women."
Liu Ru recalled Chen Yuan's previous words: "Is it because of what you just said, Emperor Xi knotted ropes into nets and used them for fishing and hunting?" β
"Not bad. This is one of them, and it is quite a major reason. Men gradually catch more fish than women, and fish is obviously more filling than fruit. The position of men in the tribe is naturally more important. β
Liu Ru thought: "There is some truth, but if it's just like this, it's not enough, right?" Throughout the ages, what power struggle has not been fought in a river of blood? β
Xue'er said that if it is an era when people's hearts are not ancient, for the sake of rights, they will definitely fight for it, and if they can't say it, they will have to clash with force. But at that time, the responsibility of the tribal leader was far greater than the power, and only whoever could lead the tribe to survive was the tribal leader. β
"Huh?" Liu Ru's mind was racing, "What happened?" Haven't women always led the tribe to live well? β
"Sister, when she knows that Nuwa is mending the sky, can't she think of something from it?"
"Nuwa mends the sky?" Liu Ru realized, "A huge natural disaster has come, whether it is a flood or an earthquake, or even fighting with wild beasts, it is obvious that Kong Wu's powerful men are more able to protect the tribe, and even if they escape, they can carry one or two more children." β
Thinking about what Chen Yuan meant by this, Liu Ru continued to guess: "The way out you told me is that women can also have the ability to support their families, so they can not rely on men, and they can have a higher status in the family." However, this does not contribute significantly to the advancement of women in society.
However, it happened that another natural disaster struck, and this time, according to the boy's prediction, the weather gradually became colder. This is the root of the disaster, and the drought and flood brought about at the same time are only incidental. When it's cold, you naturally need to keep out the cold, and what you need to keep out the cold is naturally clothing. From sericulture to weaving, these are the main occupations that women are engaged in. Playboy invented a more advanced loom, and he thought it was for this reason. β
The more Liu Ru talked, the more excited she became, and she only felt that this was the cause she should work hard for.
As for what to marry a certain talent, let him carry a sedan chair to marry him, compared with the noble ideal of improving the social status of women, he should completely throw it away, step on a few more feet, and let himself forget about it completely.
Chen Yuan has never pursued as much as Liu Ru. In this plane, her life has changed because of the projection of Hua Xue, and she has not been tortured, nor has she been displaced from Liu Ru as she was a child. So when Hua Xue told her this, although she agreed with Hua Xue's reasons and methods for self-preservation, she was not fooled by the words that Hua Xue taught her to encourage other women to join.
If Hua Xue hadn't told her that she could protect herself in this way, she might have preferred to live in seclusion in the mountains with Hua Xue and live a happy life for two people. It's just that Hua Xue analyzed with her that such a day is too unstable, once something unexpected happens, a beautiful life will collapse in an instant, and at that time, it will be too late to seek self-preservation.
When Liu Ru was inspired by Chen Yuan and full of fighting spirit, in Songjiang, there were many people who were as enthusiastic as him.
After Chen Zilong and his entourage left Songjiang, in addition to taking care of his mother at home and going to his uncle's house every morning to greet his grandmother, he wrote to his fellow disciples and summoned them to meet in the South Building.
Chen Zilong prefaced the same family in the letter. Besides, after I was in high school, I was ordered to return to my hometown, which was a business trip, not a private matter. However, when I went home, I realized that Gao Tang was seriously ill at home and did not dare to leave. I was supposed to pay a visit, but that would have to happen later. In order to apologize, on the afternoon of the second day of the first month of April, a banquet was held in the south building of his house to entertain the sages. At that time, there are other important matters to discuss, so please be sure to come.
Chen Zilong returned from high school, and when he was proud, his friends naturally would not play at this time. What's more, Chen Zilong first said that he returned to his hometown because of official business, and finally said that he had other important matters to discuss, so he almost made it clear that it was official business to invite everyone to discuss. Those who are not experts in fiddling with words, the implication of this point is naturally understood in each second.
So at noon on this day, the south building was naturally full of friends and seats.
After everyone was full of wine and food, and all the idle people who came to eat were dispersed, Chen Zilong said aloud to everyone: "Zilong invited you to come, it is indeed because of official business. If you don't come to the door, don't blame the faux pas. β
Everyone said that there was no mustard.
"After Zilong's name is on the gold list, he has to enter the eyes of the Holy Dharma, but he knows that Zilong has the manuscript of the "Book of Agriculture" of the ancestor Xu Gong in his hand, which has yet to be sorted out. Your Majesty regards this as the great cause of 'using it in the present and merit in the future', and it cannot be delayed. He ordered Zilong to return to his hometown, convened his fellow disciples, and compiled and sorted it out together. In order to pay Zizi as soon as possible and benefit the people. As for the day of success, the reward that you should have in the same family, Zilong will not hide it, and should report it according to the amount of contribution. β
