Chapter 0585: The Origin of Civilization on the Snowy Plateau
The ancient elephant male text, as the name suggests, is the ancient elephant male writing!
For the vast majority of people, "Gu Xiangxiong" may be a very unpopular term.
In fact, I'm afraid that even many people in the history department of universities today may not know what the word "Gu Xiangxiong" means!
Because these three words appear too few times in historical and archaeological materials!!
It was also because of the family business and the influence of my family that I was able to read a lot of books since I was a child, read through the history of various countries in the world, and delved into the knowledge of ancient characters and antiquities identification, so that I had a certain understanding of ancient Zhangxiong.
When it comes to Tibet, the Tibetan people, and the history of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the first thought that may come to people's hearts now is - Tubo, Songtsen Gampo!
In the 7th century AD, the Tibetan hero Songtsen Gampo swept across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with iron hooves, unified dozens of tribes, ended the situation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, established the Tubo Empire, and then married with the Tang Empire, Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, and the Tubo people, that is, the Tibetan people, entered the sight of the Han people in the Central Plains......
It was the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during that period that the first historically recorded regime was finally born, and this regime was the Tibetan Empire.
This is probably what the vast majority of people know about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Tibetan people!
Even, therefore, many people believe that the Tibetan Empire is the origin of Tibetan civilization, because it was also during that period that Buddhism crossed eastward and entered Tibet to form Tibetan Buddhism based on Buddhism, and finally evolved into Tibet's unique religious statecraft......
In fact, all these perceptions are wrong!!
The Tibetan Empire is only the first historically recorded regime on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
Instead, the first regime born on the Tibetan Plateau!!
In fact, as early as 18,000 years ago, that is, at the end of the Mesolithic Age, Tibet had already given birth to the first ancient kingdom, an ancient kingdom founded by late Homo sapiens, which lasted until the eighth century AD, when the Tibetan Empire raised troops and completely wiped out.
This ancient country is - the ancient Xiangxiong country!
It's a pity that the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom did not record its own history during its reign, and they did not contact the Han people in the Central Plains, and the Han people could not help them record history, so the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom did not have its own history, which was the first place by the Tubo Empire!!
The ancient Zhangxiong civilization produced by the ancient Xiangxiong country is the real origin of the Tibetan civilization born on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!!
Why?
There are several aspects:
One is religious belief.
Tibetans believe in Buddhism, so did their belief in Buddhism really start after ancient Indian Buddhism was introduced to Tibet?
No, it's not, as early as 18,000 years ago, the shadow of Buddhism was already showing its rudiments in Tibet!
Eighteen thousand years ago, a religion that is inextricably linked to Buddhism was born in the ancient country of Xiangxiong in Tibet.
Yongzhong Buddhism is the Buddhism preached by the Buddha of Xingrao Miwo, also known as the oldest Zhangzhung Buddhism in Tibet, as early as 18,000 years ago, began to be popular near the Gangdis Mountain in the Ali region of Tibet, the doctrine and Buddhism Tantra, Zen Buddhism in the general direction is not much different, is based on the theory of manifestation, tantra and great perfection, and takes refuge in the Three Jewels as the foundation, helping the world to save people, and guiding people to goodness!
Then the question arises, why is Yongzhong Buddhism so similar to later Indian Buddhism?
Because they come from the same origin!
This source is the founder of Yongzhong's religion, the Buddha of Xingrao Miwo, which is often called the "Dongba Patriarch" in the mouth of Tibetans!
Dongba Patriarch is a prince of the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom, and at the same time, he also has a disciple named Bai Zhuangtianzi!
As long as you understand Buddhism, you should know that the white Son of Heaven is the previous life of Shakyamuni Buddha!
Now you get it, right?
Shakyamuni Buddha's scholarship is based on the theory of Dongba Patriarch Xingrao Miwo Buddha, and it is improved to form!
Later, Shakyamuni Buddha founded Indian Buddhism, and their teachings are naturally no different from the Yongzhong Buddhism founded by the Dongba patriarch in the general direction!
Before Indian Buddhism entered Tibet, the Yongzhong religion of the Dongba patriarch had taught the Tibetans almost, and there was not much difference between the two in the general direction of the doctrine, so Tibetan Buddhism could be integrated into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau so quickly!!
To put it bluntly, the current Tibetan Buddhism is actually formed after the combination of Yongzhong Buddhism and Indian Buddhism!!
The spiritual beliefs of the Tibetan people, in the final analysis, are still influenced by the ancient Zhangxiong civilization!!
Second, text.
At present, the Tibetan script is mainly a continuation of the script of the Tibetan period.
And what about the Tibetan people? Before Songtsen Gampo, there was no writing at all!!
The script of the Tubo people was improved on the basis of the Zhangxiong script after the destruction of the Tibetan Empire!!
As for the Elephant Hung group...... This is also created and sorted out by the Dongba patriarch.
Later, the Tibetan and Zhangxiong ethnic groups merged to form the Tibetan people.
To put it bluntly, Tibetan writing still originated from the Zhangxiong people!
Third, the five disciplines.
What is the Five Ming Disciplines?
It's craft, language, medicine, astronomy, and Buddhism!
These are the foundations of Tibetan civilization.
And who taught the Five Ming Disciplines? Or the patriarch of Dongba.
There are these three articles, which are enough to prove that the Tibetan civilization originated from the ancient Zhangxiong, and as for the Tubo Empire established by Songtsen Gampo, it is just the inheritance of the ancient Zhangzhung civilization. Everyone knows that the Tubo tribe was formed by the fusion of the Qiang tribe after the Warring States period moved west and the local people, they basically have no civilization, everything is inherited from the ancient country of Zhangxiong after the Tubo Empire destroyed the ancient country of Zhangxiong!!
Just like the Mongols and Manchus in those days, they defeated the Han people, and the backward civilization defeated the advanced civilization, and finally the two merged, which formed the so-called Chinese civilization.
……
Why do you want to say so much about the ancient elephant male?
Because, this bone book in my hand was written by one of the last princes of the Xiangxiong Kingdom in ancient Xiangxiong script!
It seems that the era when he wrote this book happened to be the time when Tibet destroyed Zhangxiong and the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was in a great ethnic integration, that is, after such a great era, the collision of civilizations between various ancient countries and tribes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was completed, and finally merged, forming a plateau civilization based on the Tibetan people.
These are just the things I came up with after reading some of the text, and they are just the things recorded on the first cow bone.
Back...... I don't think much of it?
"What's going on?"
The fat man was anxious, and when he saw that I was silent, he couldn't hold it back, pushed me, and asked, "Brother Xiaotian, you are talking!" Can you understand why your expression is like eating? ”
I glared at the fat man and didn't speak.
"Xiaotian, can you do it?"
Tsing Yi was also more concerned about this, and said in a deep voice: "Don't have psychological pressure, you do your best, how much you can decipher, I always feel that this bone book contains very important content!" After all, the immortal corpse entered the underground world where we were from that ancient tomb, and I always felt that that ancient tomb might have something to do with the Lock Dragon Cave, like ...... The entrance to the Lock Dragon Cave is the same!! ”
"I'll do my best!!"
I gritted my teeth and nodded.
Tibetan originated from the ancient Xiangxiong script, and the ancient Xiangxiong script was collected and formed by the Dongba patriarch 18,000 years ago combined with some simple syllables.
I have read some books with roots of the Tibetan language before, and now, to decipher this bone book, I can only guess the ancient Xiangxiong script through the roots of the Tibetan people!
In other words, I have to guess what every word in this bone book means!!
It's really too difficult to decipher, and I don't dare to pat my chest and say that it will work.
But since I accepted this work, I was quietly engaged in entering, word by word study, just the first bone book, I read my head sweating profusely, but the harvest is there.
I'm pretty sure that the last prince of Zhangzhung who left this bone book recorded the affairs of the Dongba patriarch on the first bone book!
Because this is a legend in history!!
As if to say...... What does the Ying dragon imprisoned in the Lock Dragon Cave have to do with the Dongba Patriarch!!
