Seeing Qin Zhen say this, the old man simply said, "Okay! That's how young people should be. What I'm saying to you is that there are some things that you already know, and you can't help but be in them. ”

Qin Zhen still didn't quite understand the old man, not understanding what the situation of "being in it" he was talking about.

The old man's expression was stern, as if the state just now was just to lower Qin Zhen's defense, so that he could tell him the truth.

However, Qin Zhen secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he felt that this old man really didn't need to be like this at all. Qin Zhen has always been frank and open-minded, and he is what he is. Besides, this is not a back-the-back business, what can't be said?

The old man sat back beside Qin Zhen again, and then said to Qin Zhen with a kind expression: "Child, I want to tell you a story before I tell you something." ”

"The younger generation listens to you." Qin Zhen also returned to his normal appearance. As long as he is not blown up by Yudong, in fact, Qin Zhen has always been a polite image.

Anyway, now Lao Gu and they haven't woken up yet, they can't walk and leave, and it's impossible to find Yudong to continue settling accounts, so it's better to listen to the story that this old man has to tell here. It seems likely that it has something to do with what Yuto is going to do next. Qin Zhen wanted to know too much, so now he couldn't wait to listen to the story that the old man was going to tell.

The old man nodded and asked, "You already know the identities of Yudong and Yebei, right?" ”

"Hmm. Yes. I know. Qin Zhen said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll ask you a few questions." A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, like an old gentleman in a private school in ancient times, and now he is beginning to test the students' grades.

"It's okay for you to ask." Qin Zhen said humbly.

"I heard that Ling Zun has a deep study of geography and history, and you are also young and successful, you like to study antiquities, and you are very interested in China's ancient culture." The old man said politely.

Qin Zhen shook his head implicitly, and thought to himself: Old man, did you hear it or check it? is still young...... I don't know if this is praising me or being hungry for me.

Then, the old man began to ask questions in earnest.

"Kids. Why is China also called China? ”

Qin Zhen smiled slightly and said, "The word Huaxia comes from the Xia Dynasty, China's first slave dynasty. It was established by Dayu's son Qi. Xia means vast; Huatong flowers, related to the worship of beauty. Huaxia is a beautiful and vast place.

But at that time, the Chinese people's feelings for the nation were not too deep. Until the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou people not only had an advanced material civilization. Moreover, the ritual music system formulated by the Duke of Zhou is also culturally distinct from the Siyi. In this way, the Chinese people gradually have a sense of racial superiority and national identity.

In the Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography, it is very clear that 'China has great etiquette, so it is called summer; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. This is probably the origin of the word Huaxia to refer to China. Qin Zhen spoke calmly and calmly. I was secretly glad that the old man's test questions were quite simple. At least I didn't stop asking myself. On these issues, Qin Zhen used them to educate Lao Gu on weekdays.

As Qin Zhen spoke, the old man had been looking at him with an appreciative eye. It wasn't until Qin Zhen answered completely like a stream of water that the old man spoke: "Very good." In addition to Huaxia, there is also the term Shenzhou to refer to China. Usually we say the land of China, so what is Chixian Shenzhou? ”

Qin Zhen smiled confidently again, and continued to reply to the old man in a clear manner: "Chixian and Shenzhou are generally called separately. Originating from the Yellow River Basin, the Chinese people owned the fertile land of the Central Plains and developed a prosperous economy.

They use the dragon as a totem and call themselves dragons. So we call ourselves the descendants of the dragon. Dragons, gods too. Therefore, China, the land of dragons, is called Shenzhou. In addition, in ancient Chinese, Huatong flower also has the meaning of red. The Chinese nation, which has a yellow vein, has always been respected for its red and yellow colors. Therefore, on the basis of further understanding the living environment, the ancients called the whole of China Chixian Shenzhou. ”

Listening to Qin Zhen tell the origin of this period of history and civilization, the old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Qin Zhen, you deserve to let that kid Xia Yudong lie for you." I am afraid that there are not many children who can completely and clearly answer the origin of their country's name. The reason why I ask you these two questions is to test how much you know about the basic Chinese studies of your country. If you can't answer these two simple questions, then there is no need to talk about them at all. ”

Qin Zhen nodded in understanding and said, "I understand, you can continue to talk." ”

The old man leaned his body against the back of the sofa, his eyes suddenly became profound, and he slowly asked, "Since we have talked about Huaxia and Shenzhou, we have to talk about Kyushu." As you know, the nine of them were divided into different borders in China, which means to guard Kyushu. How much do you know about Kyushu? ”

When he asked this, the old man never looked at Qin Zhen. His gaze drifted away, as if he was thinking about something very far away.

Qin Zhen hesitated a little and said: "Old man, from ancient times to the present, the division of Kyushu has been changed several times, and there is no really correct statement until now. If you are talking about ancient times, it is also the Dayu period.

The vast Yu trail is divided into Kyushu.

Legend has it that Dayu chiseled open the dragon gate and opened nine ditches to introduce the flood into the sea. When Dayu controlled the flood, he divided the world into Kyushu. They are Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou.

Before the Western Han Dynasty, people firmly believed that Kyushu was drawn by Dayu. After arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kyushu was regarded as the Yin and Zhou system, which was left over from the Xia and Shang periods. Even if it's our administrative division today.

Of course, there are quite a few people who have based on the "Interpretation of History. According to the records in the Yellow Emperor's Chronicle, Kyushu was divided by Yan and Huang.

'From Shennong and above, there are Great Kyushu, Zhuzhou, Yingzhou, Shenzhou, etc. Since the Yellow Emperor, virtue is not far away, but it is divided into Kyushu within Shenzhou, and the Yellow Emperor was ordered, and after the wind, he was mapped, cut the land and cloth Kyushu, and placed twelve countries. ’

But no matter who divided Kyushu, in the historical books, the division of this Kyushu has never been very certain. There are many discrepancies in the records of "Shangshu", "Zhou Li", "Erya", etc., and the famous masters have their own basis, and there is no clear conclusion. Although no one has been able to say the division of Kyushu so far, as a Chinese nation that originated in the Yellow River Valley and inherited Yaoshun, this statement is still widely respected. ”

The old man smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Qin Zhen with great interest: "The Kyushu you listed is the statement in the Book of Shang. Generally speaking, only the Kyushu in the "Book of Shang" and "Yu Gong" is the same as most of the historical records, and it also fully supports the fact that Yu divided Kyushu. Do you know which state Yudong is in? ”

Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yebei had told him that after the tragic mission of the nine of their brothers, there were only four of the nine people who originally guarded Kyushu, and Yudong began to guard North China, the heart of the national capital.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhen asked tentatively, "Jizhou? ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, it's Jizhou, the head of Kyushu." ”

Qin Zhen's patience with this "Chinese Studies Q&A" began to gradually decrease, and he looked at this mysterious old man in puzzlement, completely unable to understand what this old man wanted to say, so that he would spread the topic so far-reaching?

The first few questions were barely answered, but if he continued to take the test like this, maybe Qin Zhen would soon be "timid".

Besides, from China, Huaxia, China, and Kyushu, the questions asked in turn seem to be for a reason. As the old man said, if you don't know anything about the front, then you don't need to talk about the rest of the story. But now that he suddenly mentioned Yudong and Jizhou, what was the reason? Could it be that the next mission location of Yudong is Hebei Province?

Qin Zhen almost didn't laugh out loud when he thought of this...... I think they have seen a lot of magnificent scenery that is enough to shock the world along the way. In the end, if a fierce son pierced Baoding, Langfang, and Zhangjiakou...... That's a lot of fun.

And Qin Zhen really can't think of anything that Hengshui, Handan, and Shijiazhuang can have anything to do with the Himalayas......

It's just a joke...... Even if he didn't pick out the two cities of Beijing and Tianjin, and put them all in, Qin Zhen couldn't find the slightest intersection point where this region could be related to the Himalayas......

In Qin Zhen's eyes, the reason why Yudong will stay in North China or Jizhou should be related to the country. It can't be for him to go to Cangzhou to herd sheep......

So at this time, Qin Zhen couldn't figure out what was the purpose of this old man deliberately mentioning Jizhou?

The old man looked at Qin Zhen's almost "ever-changing" expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Qin Zhen." The reason why I mention Yudong and Jizhou to you is that the focus is on the first of Kyushu.

Do you know that after Dayu divided Kyushu, he immediately began to make Kyushu Prefecture contribute bronze and cast Jiuding. And the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, strange things, engraved in the body of Jiuding. With a tripod symbolizing a state, Kyushu has completely become synonymous with China. And the nine tripods symbolize the supremacy of royal power, the prosperity of the country, and the profound significance of sweeping the eight wildernesses and returning the world to the heart.

Everyone in the world says that Nahe Shibi is the jade seal of the country, but if you want to talk about the artifacts that can really represent the roots of China, it is definitely the nine tripods of Yuwang's Zhenguo! When the old man said this, the brilliance in his eyes and the speed of his speech all proved that he was a little excited. (To be continued......)
