readx;? Years ago, the temperature in North China dropped further, and the climate cooled more frequently during the ice age. This was the last cold period of the Quaternary Ice Age www.biquge.info, and the tribes of the Yellow River basin were in a period of contraction. Within the warm Yangtze River basin, the Chaohu tribe flourished in the Chaohu Lake Basin.

The leader of the Youchao clan (let's name Youchao) was born in Cangwu, south of Jiuzhi Mountain in Hunan, and has been a wandering orphan in various places until adulthood. When he wandered to Lingjiatan in the Chaohu Lake Basin, he was recruited into the local tribe (at that time, due to the requirements of Pangu, the marriage at that time had been implemented by the matrilineal clan outside the marriage system, and no longer the internal marriage system of the primitive people).

As I said before, it is difficult to dig holes in the Yangtze River basin, so the population development is slow. You can only live in a few caves. Because the people in the tribe are often harassed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, they have begun to find ways to solve these problems that plague humans. Because in the process of wandering, inspired by the nesting of birds in the trees, he studied the method of weaving the branches of the bird's nest and the method of thinning the mud, which is the earliest carpenter in China, and all the carpenter skills today come from this method of branch weaving.

Youchao wondered if it was possible to use this method to build a "human nest" similar to a bird's nest on a tree? Youchao began experiments, and after many years of hard work, it finally succeeded. The Nest instructed the people to build their houses on tall trunks with branches and rattan, and the walls and roofs of the houses were covered with branches and made of mud. It is not only sheltered from the wind and rain, but also can prevent the attack of birds and beasts, and people will no longer live that kind of frightened life.

Later, people carried it forward, using wooden piles as the foundation, and putting up the slabs, which were overhead on the ground. The pillars on the platform were made into walls, and the roof was covered to become thatched huts. The thatched hut perched on a wooden stake is also known as a "nest of wood". On it, you can hide from the beasts. Don't underestimate this nest, the most amazing thing about it is that the wooden stakes are connected by a mortise and tenon structure (like the chairs of today, where the two wooden bars are snapped together with square holes and bolts). In the Stone Age, before the advent of metal tools, the nest that made this mortise and tenon structure was undoubtedly an unprecedented miracle.

People live on the top of the nest, sundries are piled up below, pigs and dogs are raised, the ventilation is good, moisture-proof, and there are few mosquitoes flying up, which is the ideal residence of the ancestors in the south. This is also the ancestor of the "stilted building".

The reason why there are no traces of the Chao clan can be found today is that the wooden houses are difficult to preserve. However, his descendants left the ruins of Lingjiatan (year).

The people were very grateful to the person who invented the nest, so they elected him as the patriarch (the CEO of the dual system), and called him Youchao, at that time people did not have a name, only those who made significant contributions would have a recognized number, and this number was often related to the content of their contributions, and Youchao also became the name of other tribes to identify the tribe. After Youchao was elected as the chief of the tribe, he did many good things for everyone, and his reputation soon spread throughout the land of China.

In the north, due to various inconveniences in the south, the human clans who had to migrate to the Yellow River valley heard that the Chao clan had solved the settlement problem in the south, and they moved from the cold north to the Chaohu Lake basin where the Chao clan lived. I hope to learn the technique of Youchao. The Youchao clan also worked tirelessly to guide the clans to build nests on trees.

The people of all tribes considered him to be highly respected and had the talents of a holy king, and unanimously elected him as the chief leader, and honored him as the "Chaohuang", that is, the great chief of the tribal alliance. Lidu Shilou Mountain. The Han Dynasty Weishu "Dunjia Mountain Opening Map" said: "Shilou Mountain is in Langyu, and there was a Chao clan to govern the south of this mountain in the past", that is, Langya Mountain (Langye Mountain) in Chuzhou, Anhui Province.

In the same year, the people of China abandoned the rule of the Yellow River basin and instead followed the guidance of the Chao clan in the Yangtze River basin (Chaohu Lake basin). For the first time, the political center shifted to the Yangtze River basin.

During the period of Chao's "King of the World", he paid attention to the people's livelihood, kept the people in mind, benefited the people, and made high achievements.

During the primitive period, people had to settle next to rivers because of the ease of access to water. Youchao invented the method of sinking wells for drinking water, which greatly expanded the living space of Chinese human beings.

Youchao invented the weaving technique, and then the carpenter's technique, as well as the construction technique, which was used to build a house (weaving and mud sewing) technology. Dry grass is woven into bedding using weaving techniques. The ancients were able to live in one place, and the dream of a homeland finally became a reality. The earliest nest dwellings, also known as "tree dwellings", were built on trees as the name suggests, and only later extended to flat land. The word nest itself is a wooden shelf with three people on the lattice, which vividly illustrates the life of the nest dwelling on the tree.

During the Chao period, the Pangu clan continued to implement the extra-clan marriage, and implemented the extra-clan group marriage and walking marriage system. Intermarriage between siblings was excluded, and intermarriage between men and women of the same generation within the same clan was also prohibited. A man can only choose a woman from another clan as his "wife", and a woman can only choose a man from another clan as his "husband". That is to say, a group of men (or women) of clan A and a group of women (or men) of clan B can be married to each other, which is an extra-clan group marriage in a matrilineal clan society. Extra-clan group marriages are only allowed for a group of men from clan A (B) to go to clan B (A) at night and have sex with a group of women there, and the men have to return to their clan the next morning and are not allowed to stay in the woman's clan. And a woman is not allowed to leave her clan for the rest of her life. This kind of extra-ethnic group marriage has obviously made great progress compared to blood group marriage. The merits of the Chao clan reflect the civilization process from cave dwelling to nest dwelling in China's primitive era.

The Yuchao clan actually represents a stage in the development of human beings at that time, from the primitive cave dwelling to the stage of building houses, which is a sign of progress. The Chaohu Lake Basin is recognized as one of the earliest birthplaces of ancient humans. There is a nest to open up the primitive era, from the cave dwelling to the era of nest civilization.

"On the top of the wood, the wind is dry, bumpy, and dry. Therefore, there are saints who teach the compilation of hibiscus, and Lu is smeared, so as to violate the danger of their high and lowly, and to violate the wind and rain to turn into a nest. Therefore, it is also called Chao's. Driving six dragons, from the sun and the moon, is called the ancient emperor. The turtle dragon effect, the book is good, so the text becomes the rule of the world.

It is also a government, giving and blessing evil, giving and taking, so the people of the world are benevolent. At the end of it, there are courtesies and nobles, and the officials do not enjoy it. The power that wants to be cut, fear and change, and the Chao clan dies. Dwelling in the jar and the collar. 》

"Yi Zhou Shu Historical Notes": "In the past, there were Chao clans, there were chaotic ministers and nobles, the country was fake, the power was arbitrary and the country was decided, and the king has taken it. The ministers are angry and change, and there is a nest to die. ”

During the time of the last leader of the Alliance, the patriarch had a special trust in a minister, who had no name at the time, so he did not leave a name. This minister was given the power to manage the affairs of the state (i.e., the prime minister), so the minister spread the party and decided the general policy of the tribal alliance without informing the patriarch, and issued orders to the tribes without authorization.

The patriarch sensed that something was wrong with the minister and publicly announced the abolition of his powers. This caused a strong displeasure from the minister. The minister led his close subordinates and relatives to a mutiny and killed the patriarch.

The minister considered himself to be a relative of the patriarch, so he also had the right to inherit the position of the patriarch and even the head of the tribal alliance. However, because of the haste of his mutiny, he did not receive the support of the tribes. Therefore, all the tribes refused to recognize his status, and then refused to recognize the central position of the alliance of the Chao tribe. As a result, although the Chao tribe exists, it can no longer be "the king of the world".
