As the saying goes, the sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great.

How could Qingji not know this truth?

For dialects, characters, customs, etc., Qingji can be allowed to be retained by the local Baiyue people.

However, the language and writing of the state of Wu must be implemented in the land of Baiyue.

This is an imperative, Mother Doubt.

Accompanied by the ministers and guards, Qingji boarded the boat and enjoyed some of the scenery of the mountains, rivers and rivers of Longchuan, and then came to a tuntian district in Longchuan County for inspection.

Where the Yue people live in the south, the buildings are very different from those in the Central Plains.

It is well known that the form of residence is closely related to the natural and economic conditions in which each ethnic group lives.

For example, the nomads in northern Cyprus often live in tents that facilitate migration.

As in ancient times, the Zhuxia tribes of the Central Plains mostly lived in caves, semi-crypts or bungalows built on the ground.

The Guyue tribes in the south, on the other hand, live in "ganlan" houses that resemble nest dwellings, that is, two-story buildings with wooden (bamboo) structures.

Cattle and pigs are kept in the lower layers, and people are housed in the upper layers, so as to prevent the humidity of the southern climate and avoid all kinds of vicious beasts, insects and snakes.

Is it reasonable to exist?

Not necessarily.

It's just that the law of existence and development of things must have some truth.

In the area of Panyu and Longchuan, there are not a few Wu people who have settled.

Since Wu conquered the land of Lingnan and set up counties to rule, he began to spare no effort to develop the six counties of Lingnan.

In addition to encouraging Li Shu to settle in Lingnan, Wu also sent many prisoners to settle in Lingnan and multiply there.

Therefore, here in Longchuan County, Qingji can see some buildings with the style of the Central Plains.

"Dawang, including Panyu and Longchuan, most places in Nanhai County have produced rice that can already be self-sufficient."

Sun Li saw Qingji looking at the farmer who was plowing, and he could see it, so he knew what he was thinking, so he said.

Because, it's really a great thing.

The Yue people, like the Chinese people, belong to the agricultural civilization.

It's just that for thousands of years, the farming technology of the Chinese people has continued to develop, and it has long been out of the form of ignorance.

The Yue people are still in the most primitive stage, living on farming, fishing and hunting.

Because simple farming cannot satisfy the appetite of the Vietnamese people at all.

If they can't even fill their stomachs, how can they concentrate on farming and development?

After Wu entered the Lingnan land, he brought advanced farming technology, which is an important reason why most places in Nanhai County can achieve self-sufficiency in agriculture.

"Good."

Qingji immediately walked to the ridge of the field, looked around, and looked at the farmers who were working on the farmland, and his heart was full of emotion.

What is the difference between today's Lingnan and the barbaric land when Taibo went to Wu?

It was spring ploughing, and in the sweltering heat, the farmers were wearing short clothes, wielding hoes and plowing the fields, or driving oxen to plow the fields, or opening a canal to irrigate the fields......

Like the Wu mainland, the main crop in Lingnan is rice.

Rice was first domesticated by the ancient Yue people in the south.

The Hemudu culture thousands of years ago proves that the ancestors of the Wuyue people were already cultivating rice.

The historical birthplace of rice is in Lingnan.

About 12,000 years ago, the Niulandong in Yingde was probably the birthplace of rice cultivation in the world......

"The King."

Driven by curiosity, Qingji slowly walked in the direction of the farmland.

The farmer, who was still working in the farmland, hurriedly stepped forward to salute Qingji.

The prisoners who were assigned to Lingnan were to a certain extent different from the local Yue people.

For example, Baiyue people have darker complexions, more sturdy, and even bare upper bodies.

The most striking feature of this Baiyue people is the "chiseled tooth and lacquered teeth".

This is another custom of the Yue people, which is "chiseling" (tooth extraction).

This custom is called chiseling and beating.

It is a conscious manual method of extracting (or punching, knocking) certain healthy anterior teeth.

In addition to chiseling teeth and lacquered teeth, the biggest feature of the Yue people is "broken hair tattoos".

The tattoo method of the Yue people is to "carve their muscles and use them to green Danni".

Tattooing the hair, that is, cutting the hair short and tattooing (tattooing).

It is similar to "vertebral bun" and "draped hair", which are popular hairstyles of the ancient Yue people.

"Tattooing" is a way of self-protection because the ancient Yue people "learned water" and avoided the dragon.

It is a multi-functional cultural practice that encompasses multi-faceted cultural meanings such as tribal symbols, totem worship and coming-of-age ceremonies, and is an ancient custom with mysterious overtones.

The Wu people, like the Yue people, belong to the group of people with broken hair tattoos.

In the past, Taibo and Zhongyong lived in Juwu, "the tattoo is broken, and it is not available".

However, after hundreds of years of continuous intermingling between ethnic groups, the nobility of the Wu State, including most of the Chinese people, has been biased towards the Central Plains in terms of cultural customs, rather than "broken hair tattoos".

Compared with the Wu people who "de-Baiyue", the Baiyue people still retain the most primitive cultural customs.

In addition to chiseling teeth and lacquered teeth, broken hair tattoos, there are also different customs and habits such as eating clams, chicken bone divination, arm-to-arm alliance, and taking advantage of the market on the day of the market.

Among them, the customs and habits of taking advantage of the market make Qingji particularly cordial.

Because of Qingji's previous life, he was originally from Guangxi.

The custom of taking advantage of the market has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and some places in the south still circulate the custom of taking advantage of the market day until modern times.

"Old man, can you show the widow the hat on your head and the shovel in your hand?"

Qingji came to the crowd and looked at an old farmer who was nearly fifty years old and had gray temples, and asked with an amiable look.

Gentle and courteous!

This is the attitude of Qingji.

Because, Qingji does not dare to guarantee whether these Yue people may be their ancestors......

Of course, after thousands of years of continuous blending, all ethnic groups in China have long been indistinguishable from each other, and they all have the same kind of blood flowing in their bones.

It's a cultural identity.

"Please, my lord."

The old farmer couldn't understand what Qingji said, but with Sun Li on the side interpreting, he could communicate.

Qingji immediately took the old farmer's hat and stone shovel and looked at it carefully.

"King, the style of the hat in this Lingnan land is different from that of the Central Plains, and even the native of my Wu country."

Sun Li, who followed alongside, introduced: "The southwest barbarian hat, with bamboo as its body, and fish felt. Its apex is round, more than a foot high, and its circumference is quite drooping. ”

"There is a hat like a snail, and the top is biased, like the tun of a snail, which is called a snail."

When Qing Ji heard this, he couldn't help but bow slightly.

The snail hat is a kind of hat, but it is not the same as the hat, just like "a white horse is not a horse".
