Engine ~ Background guide of the work
The engine has only one purpose, which is to guide the reader to a rough understanding of the background of the alternate era of the book. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the Fuxi regime, the Chinese civilization roughly went through several large or clan ruling stages such as the Pangu clan, the Tianhuang clan, the Dihuang clan, the Renhuang (Thai Emperor) clan, the Titing clan, the Tongtian clan, the Youchao clan and the Suiren clan.
The previous rule of the Fuxi clan cannot be called a regime, but can only be called a rule, and this time node began in 7724 BC, that is, the establishment of the Fuxi regime by Fuxi.
The power of the Dafuxi clan is in the middle of the period of great development of ancient humanities, and plays the role of connecting the upper and lower levels.
In the process of research, it is not difficult for us to see that human ideology, ideological thinking and moral concepts have gradually undergone earth-shaking changes through the form of political organization and social division in the Fuxi period.
During this period, human beings gradually formed a sense of social dwelling from primitive barbarism and ignorance, and also formed tribal settlements.
The settlement of tribes led to the division of territory, which was different from the previous model of dividing territory by beasts, and at this time humans began to declare sovereignty to each other in a civilized way.
With the generation of ideology and ideology, people have a deep understanding of their tribe and race.
During this period, people had a preliminary understanding of bloodline, which got rid of the simple cognition of beasts.
The formation of totems is the best explanation for the division of race and blood.
Some social humans, after a long period of development, not only compete for territory, but also declare to each other that they are a sign of social dwelling.
The appearance of totems increases the cohesion of social groups, and in the process of slow development later, they are more inclined to form an organization.
This organization was the primitive commune, and after the primitive commune developed to a certain level, the clan commune was formed.
With the improvement of people's ideological consciousness and the generation of private desires, the clan commune gradually evolved into a clan regime.
The birth of the clan regime indicates that mankind has completely moved from primitive barbarism and ignorance to humanistic prosperity.
During this period, mankind staged the greatest struggle in history.
Not only do they have to fight for heaven and earth, but more importantly, they have to fight against other clans who are also human beings, and the result of the struggle is the exchange and integration between the clans.
The process of communication and integration was extremely painful, and wars broke out constantly between the clans.
The wars of this period are called wars in the formal name, not petty fights that were not organized and commanded before.
The purpose of the war is to seize territory and to obtain resources and manpower.
There is no need to explain the occupation of the territory, the main reason is to have room for survival.
During this period, the role of territory was not as great as that of the later slave society and feudal society.
Resources, to put it mildly, are to have enough places to hunt and fish, and places where you can pick more melons, fruits and grains.
To put it bluntly, it's just to fill your stomach and be able to live.
Human beings in that period were so simple to survive.
When it comes to the last manpower, it's a bit more complicated.
After a clan captures people from other clans, there must be a lot to do.
If it was placed in the primitive wilderness period, perhaps the captives would be slaughtered as prey and then divided and eaten.
However, during the period of the clan regime, in that era of food scarcity, the people of each clan, although they could not eat enough, did not have too much leftover food, they could not afford to raise prisoners, with the improvement of human consciousness and ideological understanding, they no longer massacre prisoners on a large scale, and continued to slaughter only a few captives.
They can't afford to raise captives, and they just kill, not eat.
There were no slaves in this period, so after they captured each other's people, another thing they had to do was to merge by blood.
Blood fusion is divided into three stages, namely kinship, exogamy, and couples.
Parental marriage is what we call intra-clan marriage, which refers to the intercourse of blood relatives to have offspring.
This pattern of marriage of the same blood led to stunted development of the offspring, and gradually they began to demand a distinction between clans of different bloodlines.
We modern people are quite aware of and reject the harm of close marriage, but in that era, human beings did not have this understanding.
It was not until the period of the formation of clans and tribes, after a long period of civilization development, that people drew experiences and lessons in this area from long-term observation.
After humans learned that blood relatives could not intermarry, they began to experiment with extramaritation.
In this case, the person who was captured in a fight or so-called war is used as a human race.
The human race also conformed to the rules of marriage between men and women in the matrilineal society of the time, and men at that time were not the dominant in society in the first place.
Men have only three main roles, except for fighting and laboring, which are used as human races.
Of these three roles, the role of the human race is the largest.
In the matriarchal society at that time, the main force of war and labor was not men but women, otherwise it could not be called a matriarchal society.
This is difficult to understand and imagine in today's society.
However, at that time, the transition from beasts to intelligent life had not yet been completed, and it was logical to establish a clan and establish a clan government centered on motherhood.
The captured men are of the human race, and some of the captured women are also used for mating, and many more are killed.
This is the true portrayal of the matriarchal society, women are the main human resources of the society at that time, since they cannot be used as a human race, they may also leave a disaster, only to kill.
Most of the women left for mating are patrilineal clans, which sounds like a fantasy, but it's not.
Matrilineal societies are not all matrilineal clans, and there are a small number of male-centered patrilineal clans.
The originally generated paternal clan cannot be called a clan, but only a group.
Most of the men who enter these groups are not liked and reused by their matrilineal clans, and some are unable to endure the oppression or torture of matrilineal authorities.
The special situation is that during this period, some men began to have a rebellious mentality, which led them to want to break away from the matrilineal clan, and thus join the male group from the original matrilineal clan.
Whether it is their struggle to survive within the clan or the male genes in their body, in short, with the emergence of a small number of male groups, the balance of matrilineal society is gradually broken.
Especially in the later stage of matrilineal society, the generation of patrilineal clans is increasing, and the evolution of this situation has led to the formation of a dual marriage model with men as the main body.
The formation of male couples is a great challenge to the single marriage model of matrilineal society, and it is also a challenge from patrilineal society to matrilineal society.
The final establishment of male couples also announced the success of the transition from a matrilineal society to a patrilineal society.
The real establishment of this marriage model also indicates that the patrilineal society has been perfected and consolidated, and the political power model of "family and world" has been officially formed.
