Chapter 220: Peach Blossom Stone
Sun Yi never told the craftsmen the concept of current and voltage, and to be honest, they were able to make the arc lamp bright, which really surprised Sun Yi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next morning, Sun Yi gathered them together and set up a workshop related to electricity, which was later responsible for the production of batteries and electrical appliances.
If you count the medicine workshop in charge of Ha Laocai, it should be the first "state-owned" enterprise, the caravan is the second, and the electric workshop is the third.
Sun Yi appointed the person in charge of the electricity workshop, and after making an appointment, he regularly explained some basic knowledge of electricity to them, and instructed them to think of various ways to continuously improve the existing products.
While they were busy with their work, the guards came to report that the cross-strait negotiations had come again.
Sun Yi rushed back to the riverbank and found that this time it was good, and the other party came to Dahai alone.
The two sides sat down to exchange pleasantries, and the topic fell to the issue of the title of Jin Guo. Dahai said directly: "I think what you said is reasonable, but I can't help it if the Great Khan disagrees." To tell you the truth, Huang Taiji sent me to waste time with you. ”
Sun Yi, Jia Daoshi, and Geng Xiucai have big eyes and small eyes.
Dahai suggested: "If you don't mind, I would like to use this time to ask some questions about pinyin; If you have something to do, you might as well go busy, and when the time comes, I'll go back by myself and reply to Huang Taiji that nothing has been done. ”
The three of them discussed it a little, leaving Geng Xiucai to accompany Dahai to discuss academic issues, and Sun Yi and Jia Daoshi sued and left.
Jia Daoist said to Sun Yi: "Master, this Dahai is interesting, he is not as respectful of Huang Taiji as Ning Wan me and Fan Wencheng, maybe we can sow seeds for him?" ”
Sun Yi reminded: "Dahai is full of dwarf!" ”
Jia Daoshi replied: "Dahai is full of dwarf. But precisely because Dahai is a full dwarf, he is the only one among the three representatives who does not suffer from the disease of 'dying diaphragm', and perhaps the seeds are easy to germinate. ”
Sun Yi's heart moved.
……
After doing some homework, Sun Yi came to see Dahai at noon.
Dahai and Geng Xiucai were blushing for a few pinyin problems, and when they saw Sun Yi, Geng Xiucai couldn't help but say: "Staff Officer Sun has made great achievements in pinyin, and the entire pinyin idea is provided by Staff Officer Sun, you and I might as well ask him to referee." ”
Sun Yi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." The language of the people has been spoken for thousands of years, and what qualifications do I have to be a judge? One is one, two is two, pinyin is just a faithful record of the pronunciation in the mouths of the people, just seek truth from facts! ”
Dahai sighed: "What a sentence to seek truth from facts! Well said! It's hard to do! ”
Sun and the others pulled a few sentences about pinyin, and directly asked Dahai: "Last time the doctor said that Jurchen and Zhushen are derived from Mongolian, can you talk more carefully about Tunguska, which is derived from Turkic?" ”
Dahai hesitated, "This topic is really hard to say, and if you don't say it well, you will offend people." ”
Sun Yi encouraged: "Seek truth from facts, Dr. Dahai is a person who is truly a scholar, no matter what he offends people!" ”
Geng Xiucai also encouraged: "In the past, in order to truthfully record history, Taishi Gong did not hesitate to be disabled, and he will be remembered for eternity. A role model for my generation! ”
Dahai said: "Since that's the case, I'll talk about it." But I have a word first, if you offend the two of you, please spare me not to die! ”
Sun Yi and Geng Xiucai waved their hands again and again, saying that they would never end up like this.
Dahai fingered a circle of green mountains and wolf mountain roads:
These two mountains were called Yang Mountain and Yin Mountain in ancient times, just like the Taiji diagram, dividing the world into two parts. In the south of the mountain, the people cultivate and farm, and in the north of the mountain, the people are nomadic in fishing and hunting. There is a rotation of dynasties in Shannan, called Han, Tang, Song and Ming; The same is true for Shanbei, which is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, and Mongolian. I say so, the two of you may agree? ”
Geng Xiucai frowned slightly, "Since ancient times, the world has been traced back to the Central Plains, and the barbarians outside the four countries have not been civilized, and they are wandering erratically on weekdays, and it seems inappropriate to call the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, and Mongolian dynasties." ”
Da Haidao: "Staff Officer Geng's words are wrong. The population of the Central Plains is fixed, and the land is the country, and the conquest of a place is the destruction of a country; The people of the steppe are nomadic and take people as the country, and to conquer a clan is to destroy a country. The Xiongnu and Xianbei have conquered the grassland tribes, which can naturally be regarded as a change of dynasty. ”
Sun nodded in agreement.
Dahai went on to say:
"Just as the Central Plains is divided and combined, it must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. The same is true of the Northland. The most recent unification of the northern kingdom was the Mongol Yuan, so the Mongolian dialect prevailed in the steppe. The last time it was unified was Turkic, so at that time the Turks were talking a lot. Between Mongolia and the Turks, it was a period of chaos, which was equivalent to the period from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty in the Central Plains. At that time, the rise of Donghu and the forced relocation of the Turks, the Turks called Donghu Tunguska, which means people from the east. ”
"The people of the Central Plains have never cared about the affairs of the northern country, and it is surprising to me that Staff Officer Sun knows that the word 'Tunguska' is honest. In fact, the pronunciation of 'Tunguska' is not very accurate, and the Turkic dialect calls the east 'Tangu', and it is better to do 'Tangus' in the pronunciation. ”
"To the north of the steppe, the people of the capital east of the North Sea are called Tangus. Beihai is the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Su Wu as an envoy and was detained by the Xiongnu to shepherd sheep. ”
Sun nodded a little, the North Sea was called Baikal in later generations, and the east of Lake Baikal was indeed the Tunguska region. It is said that when Russian explorers asked the locals, the locals replied that the region east of Edong was called Tunguska, hence the name.
Dahai continued: "To the south of the steppe, the Turkic language says that all the land of the Liao kingdom of Yelu is called Tangus. ”
Sun Yi was taken aback this time, the territory of the Liao State covered from the northeast to Xinjiang. Sun Yi couldn't help asking, "Isn't Tangus very big?" ”
Dahai replied, "That's true. Quanzhen taught Changchun Zhenren Qiu to meet in the Western Regions at the request of Genghis Khan, and wrote the scenery and people along the way into "Changchun Zhenren Journey to the West", which was recorded in Alima City, where the locals took water with a bottle and then put it on their heads, and saw the water objects of the Central Plains, and happily praised the peach blossom stone as exquisite. Note in the book: Peach blossom stone, said to be Han also. Staff Officer Sun, you are proficient in pinyin, when you know that many places on the grassland are not divided into Goko, Tangus can also be pronounced as Tanghas, Changchun Zhenren's peach blossom stone translation is much more elegant than your Tonguska. ”
Geng Xiucai couldn't bear it, "Peach Blossom Stone is Donghu at most, how can it be Han!" ”
Da Haidao: "Peach Blossom Stone is indeed Donghu. Ted is not divided, Tang is turned to Dong, Ge is not divided, Gu is Hu, Tang Gu is Donghu, Donghu is Tanggu. ”
"As for the peach blossom stone is the Han people, don't forget that when the Liao Jinxia and the Song Dynasty confronted the north and south, the people in the north were called Han people, and the people in the south were called Nanban. This name has been the same until Meng Yuan. ”
Geng Xiucai was about to attack immediately, "Donghu Yan dares to steal the name of my Han!" ”
Sun Yi hurriedly stopped him: "The people of the northern country think that the Han people mean that they yearn for it in their hearts, don't get excited, don't get excited, things have passed for hundreds of years." To do learning, we must seek truth from facts and seek truth from facts. ”
Geng Xiucai took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his chest.
Dahai couldn't help but glance at Sun Yi again, and then said: "Actually, Peach Blossom Stone and Han people are all called by others. At that time, the Liao State called itself Khitan and called itself Great Liao. Liao is originally a Khitan dialect, which originally means 'iron', and the Khitan is derived from Liaoshui. The pronunciation is 'Liao country', and the paraphrase is 'iron country'. Your country is also known as the 'Iron Country', not only where does it come from? ”
Sun Yigang wanted to reply that it comes from 'team', pronounced as Tiemu, and was falsely rumored by you to be 'Tieguo'. But when I think about it, most of the Turkic and Slavic languages of later generations still refer to China as "Khitan". In Europe, because "Marco Polo's Travels" called the Yuan Dynasty Khitan, at one time many European languages also called China Khitan. In English, "Cathay", which is derived from "Khitan", is a Chinese nickname, and is sometimes translated as "Cathay" in Chinese, as in Cathay Pacific. So the name "Iron Country" is not bad.
So Sun Yi replied indiscriminately: "We are good at smelting iron, so we are called the Iron Country, and it happens to have the same name as the Khitan Liao State." ”
Dahai nodded, actually recognized Sun Yi's nonsense, and then said:
"Further south of the steppe is the land under our feet, which at that time belonged to a country called Western Xia. Western Xia is the name of the Chinese language, if it is changed to Turkic or Mongolian, it should be called Tangut, and Tangut is actually Tangut. ”
"I wonder if you two know the origin of the word Tumut in Mongolian? The Mongolian language Tumut is derived from Tumen, 10,000 is called one Tumen, and 12 Tumen are called 12 Tumut. In Mongolian, adding 'ute' at the end of a word means many. The Turkic Tangus was infected with the Mongolian language here, and it became the Tangut. ”
Sun Yi asked: "It is true that the Western Xia is in the east of the Turkic language group, but there are many tribes that speak other languages in the middle, why do the Turkic language groups call the Western Xia the east?" ”
Dahai praised: "Good question! In fact, it is not only the Western Xia, after the fall of the Western Xia, the Turkic and Mongolian languages changed the name of Qinghai and Tubo to Tangut, and there is also a high mountain called Tanggu-Wula Mountain, which is connected to Tanggula Mountain. It is precisely because these countries are all Donghu countries. ”

"Changchun Zhenren's Journey to the West" is an opening travelogue written by Li Zhichang, a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen School of Taoism in China, which mainly describes the experiences of his teacher Qiu Chuji and his disciples on the way to Central Asia at the invitation of Genghis Khan, and also recounts the life of Qiu Chuji, which is an important classic for the study of the history of Central Asia, Mongolia and Taoism in China in the 13th century.
The book is divided into two volumes, with a preface by Sun Xi at the front and an appendix to the holy decree of Genghis Khan and other relevant textual materials at the back of the volume.
At the beginning of the first volume, it is recorded that Qiu Chuji refused the invitation of Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty, and told his disciples that he would go if he could not stay. Later, Temujin sent Liu Zhonglu to ask Qiu to take the opportunity, and he led 19 of his disciples to set out from Shandong in 1220, passing through present-day Beijing, Xuanhua, Dalainuoer, Hulunbuir, Ulaanbaatar, Hangaishan, Kobdo, Altai Mountain, Junggar Basin, Luntai, Tianshan, Samarkand, Tiemenguan and other places, and arrived in the Hindu Kush Mountains in present-day Afghanistan to meet Genghis Khan in 1222.
The second volume records that Qiu Chuji preached to Genghis Khan three times, and followed him back to Mongolia, during which Qiu Chuji repeatedly advised Genghis Khan to quit killing, and in 1223, Qiu Chuji resigned and returned to his hometown, and arrived in Yanjing in 1224 to preside over Tianchangguan (now Baiyun Temple).
It is recorded in "Journey to the West in Changchun" that "the natives of Alima City only take water with bottles and return with them." And see the Central Plains drawer, happy to say: Peach blossom stone everything is clever. Peach blossom stone, called the Han people. ”
Almalik (also translated as Almalik), an ancient city in Central Asia, was called Alimali, Alima City, Alima and so on in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Chinese historical books called Alimalik in the Ming Dynasty, which was once the capital of the Chagatai Khanate. Some scholars believe that it may be in the Ili region. In 1219, Genghis Khan went west and crossed the Tianshan Mountains to the city of Alima, where he said that the city was full of wild apples, and the local people spoke Turkic and called the wild apples "Alima". Arima City means Wild Apple City.
