Weights and measures of the West Cow Hezhou
Weights and measures of the West Cow Hezhou
Xiniu Hezhou was not made up by me first, and whether it really exists does not affect my story. According to the reason, the East Shengshen Continent, the West Niu He Continent, the South Ganbu Continent, and the North Julu Continent, which are the four ancient continents of ancient mythology, were separated from each other at the beginning. But it's not that old and dead don't get along.
But I think they should all form their own distinctive cultures, whether in terms of economy, culture, politics, or military.
I wanted to write the story of Sick State in the air, but the pen was full of oriental flavor, and I couldn't write exotic stories with distinctive characteristics and fantasy like Avatar and The Hobbit.
Fortunately, I honestly wrote about Chinese culture in it, and of course there is a reason for this. The five gods of the Wushen Temple came from ancient China, and they were the ancestors of the education of the people of Xiniuhezhou, so the five gods transmitted some of the Chinese cultural system to Xiniuhezhou. The specific story will be answered after the Ming Dynasty scholars appear around the hundredth chapter.
I already have the outline and specific story of the book in mind. It's only a matter of time before it's finished. Today, I am writing this article just to explain the whole picture of Xiniu Hezhou and the weights and measures used in Xiniu Hezhou and our conversion method living in the 21st century today, so that you can imagine the life of people in Xiniuhezhou.
The following story is purely my imagination and fabrication, if you have seen other people's fabrications in that book. I don't want to compare it, I'm afraid it will hurt my self-esteem.
Xiniu Hezhou is also from Pangu to open the sky, and it is formed by Pangu's left leg when he was dying. At the beginning of the formation of heaven and earth, the mountains and lands were connected together, and the wind formed by Pangu's sigh, the sweat, tears, and blood left behind made the earth, which looked like a human body, disappear many of the characteristics of the human body and gradually form a flat land, but in this evolutionary process, a torrential rain suddenly fell from the sky, and it could not last for more than a hundred years. The accumulation of water submerged the low depressions of the earth, and the high vultures of the mountains were revealed. Eventually, four ancient continents were formed.
It is said that it is the four ancient continents, but in fact, there are many scattered islands in this vast ocean, such as the fourteen islands around Xiniuhe Island, sometimes submerged in the sea, and sometimes revealed. Although they all have their own names, the people of Xiniuhe Island call them Fushen Island. Write here in detail.
When the heavy rain did not fall, there were already creatures on the land, they were all the same ancestors, when the water flooded the land, they each ran to different heights and finally fell to the four ancient continents, after the changes of the years, the blood between them also came farther and farther. It may be the same in appearance, but it may be completely different in temperament, and we think that a mouse who is afraid of cats may eat a dog. In this place of Xiniu Hezhou, I hope not to bring conventional thinking into it. So far, the stupidest thing in Xiniu Hezhou is humans.
The ancients who lived in the four directions began their own different development processes. When the people of Dongsheng Shenzhou were already able to spin and make iron, the people of Xiniu Hezhou still lived in caves, and when the people of Xiniu Hezhou began to learn spells and psychic, the humans of Nanchan Buzhou were a different scene.
In the book "Strange Stories of the Sick State", I set these four worlds as independent of each other and isolated from the ordinary world. If they interact with each other, they will lose a lot of their character. There were no ghosts and spirits in Xiniu Hezhou, and although the people at that time were in awe of the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, they did not have the concept of God. Until there was a forest fire, the forest area in ancient times was huge, a forest was burned, the wind used the fire to help the wind, and half of the land in Xiniuhe Island was immersed in the sea of fire. I only heard the crackling sound overlapping and staggering in my ears, and I couldn't tell whether it was the sound of bean-sized rain hitting the ground or the sound of red-hot branches popping.
This scene only makes people feel that the fire is monstrous, the heat wave is monstrous, the smoke is monstrous, the heat wave chats about people's skin and hurts, the sweat has not flowed out and has been evaporated, and the rain has not been able to wet the clothes.
In the end, the rain disappeared before it touched the ground, and after a slightly larger rain touched the ground, the rain turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared!
At this time, people were surrounded by wildfires on all sides, and although there was still some distance, everyone buried their heads in their knees. Don't dare to face death.
At that time, when human beings saw the fire, they did not know the truth that water could extinguish the fire, so they could only wait for death.
The one who wanted to escape suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly fell in the middle of the crowd, they were either others or the five gods of the witch gods, which was what the people of Xiniu Hezhou called them later. The word "witch" of the witch god was later created by the people of Xiniu Hezhou: the upper and lower two horizontal represent heaven and earth, the middle one represents the strong light when the five gods come, and the two characters next to the vertical stand represent the people to be saved, and the latter is the disaster flame of the crisis.
In Xiniu Hezhou, the word "witch" has the spirit of miracles, gods, and chivalry.
After experiencing the salvation of the witch god, Xiniu Hezhou left many species, and they began to worship the witch god. Whether it is the twenty-nine tribes in the early stage of Xiniu Hezhou, or the six kingdoms now, they are all re-adding to the Wushen Sect. Both have established the Witch God Cult as the state religion, although there is no state religion, but not everyone is qualified to learn the magic power of the witch god. Only the brightest people selected from the tribe each year can learn mana. Ordinary people can only worship the five gods of the Witch God Cult.
Due to the relationship between the five gods, Xiniu Hezhou has a cultural connection with Dongsheng Shenzhou in the East, but there are also differences, Xiniu Hezhou only has the culture of the gods, and there are few legends about ghosts and zombies. This is not the result of natural development, but an intentional act of the five gods. The origin of the five gods of the Wushen Sect is actually related to the struggle between the elves, ghosts, immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas of the seven realms of heaven and earth, and the history of this war can not be seen until after two hundred chapters, that is, half a year later. I won't say it here.
Many of the weights and measures in Xiniuhezhou are ancient Chinese standards, but I have changed some of them to facilitate conversion. Below I list the specific standards for the conversion of weights and measures in Xiniu Hezhou.
Xiniu Hezhou:
1 zhang = 10 feet = 3.3 meters
1 catty = 10 taels = 500 grams
1 tael of silver = 1000 Wen Qian = 1000 yuan
I mostly use bowls, cups, jars, and these containers to measure, and I don't use liters and cubes.
I don't have any specific minutes, seconds, and hours about the time. It is all used with a cup of tea, a stick of incense, a moment of time, and the approximate time of the hour, and the people of Xiniu Hezhou look at the time by looking at the sun and the sky, and listening to the rooster crow, and the time is not accurate.
