Hearing this, Chi Long's back chilled for a while, and the tone was understated, and the implication was obvious, I had tried it with human blood many times before, and I knew that I had killed a lot of people for this matter without asking carefully.

Although I was frightened, I also knew that this was people's own business after all, and besides, this was just the period when the primitive tribe was getting rid of Ru Mao and drinking blood, and as an outsider, it was inconvenient for me to intervene.

It was determined to start the highest level of sacrifice ceremony of the Dongyi tribe, and the next step was the question of choosing the right person.

The brothers whispered, but I already knew the outcome.

When the two brothers were chatting, Chi You glanced at me from time to time, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, I always felt that Chi You's eyes were also weird. Next, I kept thinking about finding time to persuade Chilong not to take the initiative to be a "human sacrifice", and even thought about it, if he didn't listen to the persuasion, just tell him directly, as for the result, it doesn't matter.

It's a pity that Chiyou has always stayed with Chilong, and I don't have a chance at all.

According to the rules of the clan, all the people in the village cannot stay in the area where the leader lives after dark, so before dark, we must leave and follow Tu Laosan back to their village.

This was similar to that of the imperial cities of later dynasties.

Whether it is the Qin and Han dynasties, or the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there is a rule, that is, in the palace at night, in addition to the emperor, there can be no second man.

Didn't Princess Jianning ask Wei Xiaobao in "The Legend of Deer and Ding": "Who is the only man in the palace?" ”

The answer, of course, is the emperor.

It can be seen that their women cannot tolerate others, which can be regarded as the common psychology of men in power.

The matter has come to this point, and I can only follow Tu Laosan back to the village first.

Because I taught Tulaosan's village how to take the initiative to make fire, it can be said that it brought a qualitative change to their lives thereafter, and everyone in the village cheered.

I was even more regarded by them as the hero of the whole village.

Tu Laosan told me that there are two main ways to celebrate the Dongyi people, one is to set up a banquet, which is commonly said to be "eat and drink well", and the other is to bathe in the Yellow River collectively to express their awe and gratitude to the river god.

At that time, the Yellow River was not called the Yellow River, but directly called it the Mother River, at first I didn't understand why it was called that, but after experiencing some things, I finally understood.

Hearing the process of bathing in the Yellow River, I couldn't help but blush.

On the second day after returning to the village, the sky was clear and cloudless, and all the men, women and children of the whole village gathered on the edge of the Yellow River.

Seeing the sparkling surface of the river, I couldn't help but sigh again. 120

The water of the river is crystal clear, completely different from the Yellow River today.

More than 6,000 years ago, agricultural activities began in the basin. About 4,000 years ago, a number of blood-related clans and tribes were formed in the basin, among which the two major tribes of Yandi and Huangdi were the most powerful.

Later, the Yellow Emperor achieved the status of the leader of the alliance and merged with other tribes to form the "Huaxia Clan".

Later generations regard the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of the Chinese nation, there is the Yellow Emperor's Palace in Xinzheng City, Henan Province, the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province.

Starting from the Xia Dynasty in the 21st century BC, in the historical period of more than 4,000 years, the successive dynasties have built their capitals in the Yellow River Valley for more than 3,000 years. The "Seven Ancient Capitals" in Chinese history include Anyang, Xi'an, Luoyang and Kaifeng in the Yellow River Basin and neighboring areas. A large number of oracle bone inscriptions left in Yindu (then part of the Yellow River Valley) created a precedent for Chinese written records.

Xi'an (including Xianyang), from the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin, Han Dynasty to Sui and Tang Dynasty, has 13 dynasties to build the capital, the history is as long as 1,000 years, is the famous "Eight Water Imperial Capital". After the Eastern Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Sui, Tang, Later Liang, Later Zhou and other dynasties all built their capitals in Luoyang, which lasted for more than 900 years and was known as the "ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties".

Located in Kaifeng, on the south bank of the Yellow River, it was called Bianliang in ancient times, King Wei Hui moved the capital to Daliang in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Northern Song Dynasty built the capital here, which lasted for about 200 years. For a long period of time, China's economic and cultural center has been in the Yellow River Valley. The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are the earliest areas in the country to develop science and technology, literature and art.

Around 2000 B.C., bronze ware had appeared in the basin, and by the Shang Dynasty, bronze smelting technology had reached a fairly high level, and iron smelting began to appear at the same time, marking a new stage in the development of productive forces.

The serially treated adzes and axes unearthed in Luoyang show that China developed cast iron softening technology more than 2,000 years earlier than European countries. The "Four Great Inventions" of ancient China - papermaking, movable type printing, compass, and gunpowder - were all produced in the Yellow River Valley.

After the Northern Song Dynasty, the country's economic center of gravity gradually shifted to the south, but in the process of China's economic and cultural development, the Yellow River basin and the lower Yellow River plain still played an important role.

The long history of the Yellow River Basin has left a very precious heritage for the Chinese nation, leaving countless places of interest and historic sites, which is the pride of our nation.

I think most Chinese people will naturally think of the Yellow River first when they think of the mother river of our country.

The history books are generally written like this: the ancients lived by the water, the earliest Chinese civilization originated from the Yellow River Basin, so the Yellow River was called the mother river, after today's events, I suddenly had a new idea: the original name of the Yellow River was called the mother river, because of the Qin and Han dynasties, the Loess Plateau soil erosion was serious, the mother river became the "Yellow River", and then even the name was changed.

The reason why I blushed was because I heard Tu Laosan say that according to the customs of the Dongyi people, the Yellow River bathing is a combination of men and women, and in order to express the respect of the river god, during the bathing process, there can be no thing on the body.

When Tu Laosan said this, his tone was very natural, which showed that they were not embarrassed by it.

Or the so-called "men and women do not kiss" has become a deep-rooted thought of the Chinese people with the rise of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius!

I had no choice but to follow the local customs.

The river where the villagers bathed was not deep, everyone was very happy, at first I was embarrassed to look at it, but I was gradually infected by the cheerful atmosphere of the scene, and I felt that it didn't matter.

The Dongyi people are in the stage of matrilineal society, and my previous understanding of matrilineal society was that it was dominated by primitive ways of obtaining food such as picking, and because women could have children, but now it may not be the case.

In the whole bathing scene, more than two-thirds of the women, and most of them are under the age of 30 in terms of appearance and figure, in fact, when I first came to the village, I was very puzzled.
