Chapter 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhaotong

In this way, we are almost to Zhaotong, after transferring the car from Kunming, we passed through Qujing, almost close to Huize when we saw the boundary card of Zhaotong, one leads to Ludian, one is directly to Zhaotong, and it seems that there are already dozens of kilometers to enter the city.

I tossed and turned in the car and couldn't sleep, probably because I slept too much before, so I simply sat up and chatted with Abu, I first looked for Abu and said: "Abu, do you think there will really be such a building in Dashanbao?" ”

Abu looked confused, as if he hadn't heard what I was saying, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

I glanced at him, and it seemed that Abu's IQ and hearing were completely lost, so I had to say again: "I mean, do you think that Zhaotong can afford any big tombs in this place?" ”

"Oooh! There should be, I don't know these things, I'm a rough man, so I'll leave the matter of the tomb to you, and I'm only responsible for the rough work! Abu replied helplessly, Abu thought about it, seemed to find something wrong, and asked me: "Hey, isn't this Yunnan your hometown, it should be the most familiar to you, don't come to ask me, you can tell us all, what is the history of this Zhaotong, aren't you interested in these things!" ”

"Well, let me think about it, I know a little, just a little!" I pretended to be modest and replied, in fact, I am still quite confident in my heart, even if I am not very proficient in this kind of thing, I know a little bit.

At this time, even the crow and Wang Dashan also came over, this seat was already very crowded, they came over, I directly wanted to lean back over, the crow was also interested, and hurriedly asked: "Then tell me, what is the history of Yunnan and Zhaotong?" ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, speaking of which, you also know that the purpose of our visit this time is for the matter of the dust beads, so this dust beads in Yunnan has something to do with the king of Xian!" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Li Sanyuan got up, did it immediately, and said, "Let's talk about the king!" ”

"Well, don't panic!" I went on to explain: "Xianwang, the people who believe in evil gods left the ancient Dian Kingdom in order to avoid chaos, and they helped the old and the young to migrate to live in the deep mountains on the banks of the Lancang River, and the leader of this part of the people called himself Xianwang. The ancient Yunnan Kingdom was once three counties under the Qin period, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was turbulent, this region implemented a closed country, established itself as a king, and broke away from the central power, and was not re-pacified until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

Speaking of which, it is no wonder that the doudu that we poured in the tombs of Kunlun Mountain and Loulan before is related to the Han Dynasty, and even the sacrifice of the king in Yunnan is the most famous during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because the dust beads at that time came out of here, and finally passed to the court of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that I was thinking about something after I finished speaking, Abu hurriedly urged: "Ji Ming, you should continue to talk!" ”

I nodded and continued: "Speaking of the king, there are many in Chinese history, but it is not the same era, except for the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the rest of the kings are not in Yunnan, and even the peasant rebels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have been crowned a king after the founding of Tianjing, and they have the title of king in the Warring States and the Five Dynasties. Just like the title of Zhongshan in history, it has also appeared in history as a national name and a king name, and those who sacrifice to the king are not related to each other, especially the dedication of the king here, at that time can be related to some strange witchcraft or evil arts, otherwise there will be no dust beads can make people become enlightened. ”

I saw that they were listening with interest, so I simply told me a lot of what I knew: "And do you know Meng Huo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that he is also from Zhaotong!" ”

When my father heard me say this, he hurriedly turned his head from the seat in front of him and asked me, "Meng Huo, what is the matter with Meng Shuguan going to the Dian Kingdom Lousha this time?" ”

"Hey, you don't know, this Meng Huo is a Yi tribe, and a tomb of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was found here in Zhaotong at that time, so the question asked by Brother Abu just now is not unreasonable, Zhaotong is indeed a place with a big tomb!" I pretended to be humble and said, in fact, my heart was already a little inflated.

Seeing that I was still screaming, Abu directly spewed saliva and said to me: "You stinky boy, you can't talk about it in the end, exhaust our appetites, hurry up, don't ink!" After speaking, he looked at me with a dissatisfied face.

I was a little helpless, so I had to say: "First of all, I have to talk about the Yi people, some people will say, 'Yi is a generic name for ethnic minorities, can not be considered Yi is Yi', we can lead to another historical ironclad evidence, in 1963 in Zhaotong Houhaizi Zhongzhai found an Eastern Jin Dynasty tomb, the tomb chief Huo Chenghe, the west mural has a Yi Han Dynasty map, among which there are a few people for the head comb 'Tian Bodhisattva' wearing a big felt, barefoot image, and today's Liangshan Yi compatriots dress exactly the same, you can know that the Yi here is Yi, of course, needless to say, There can be no doubt that Meng was the ancestor of the Yi people. ”

I also said: "In addition, there are many places in the Yi villages, there is still a legend of "Zu Menghu", which is also a strong evidence, we have to say two more words about the murals of the Jin tomb, one is that the central government at that time implemented the flow of officials, that is, the local officials were transferred by the central government, and the soldiers were mostly recruited locally, the master in the painting was the Han costume, and a few soldiers were dressed by the Yi nationality, which shows that the ancestors of the Zhaotong aborigines were undoubtedly Yi at that time! The second is that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not far from the Three Kingdoms era, and the costumes of the indigenous people reflected in its murals must be the same as those of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Didn't some Miao say that Meng Shu was Miao?" My dad knew this and asked puzzled.

"It depends on what they think in their hearts, after all, this is all history, and there are different theories! The beliefs and historical understanding of these ethnic groups are different, anyway, each has its own statement, you can believe it or not, the culture of each ethnic group is different, and you should respect it! I explained in a serious way.

"Okay, that's what a Miao friend of mine told me, just ask!" My dad explained why he asked this question.

"But I can say for sure that Meng Shu should be the ancestors of the Yi nationality who have lived in ancient Zhaotong for generations, so this Dian State Mansion may really be in Zhaotong!" My eyes became firm as I spoke, and they looked at us in a daze.

While we were still talking, the car had already pulled into the station.
