Let's talk about Champa
Champa was Zheng He's first overseas stop on his voyage to the West. The fourth volume of "Sailing the World" tells the story of Wang Hou and his entourage going to the Western Ocean with Zheng He's fleet, from chapter 193 to chapter 206 to leave the city, about 40,000 words, not much space, mainly around the rescue of Nanhai Gong, writing the contradiction between Wang Hou and the Flying Heaven Sect.
The clue of the story is roughly: before arriving in Champ, before arriving in Champa, I heard rumors on the boat that there were "flying barbarians" in Champang, and after arriving in Champang, Wang Hou and Liu Hanyan were attacked while playing Panli Lake, and the reason for the attack was very strange: the Feitian Sect likes to use human gall to soak wine, and human gall must be taken out unexpectedly, otherwise it will be destroyed by surprise, and think that the quality of Chinese gall is the best. In this attack, Wang Hou saw the legendary Flying Head Barbarian, and also heard about the Flying Heaven Sect using human gall to soak in wine, so he decided to explore the main altar of the Flying Heaven Sect at night, not only met Chen Xiong, but also learned that Nanhai Gong was captured by these people, and then rescued Nanhai Gong during the second night exploration, and made an appointment with the Flying Heaven Sect to fight Panli Lake, and finally defeated the Flying Heaven Sect Master.
Overview of the city. Chapter 193 of "Sailing the World" has this introduction: Zhancheng, the earliest is Xianglin County of Rinan County set up in the Han Dynasty, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (192), Gongcao's son took advantage of the weakness of the Eastern Han Dynasty to lead thousands of people to raise troops, killed Xianglin County Order, and established himself as king. Emperor Shun of Han suffered from internal turmoil and was unable to send troops on expeditions, and since then, Champa has become independent from China. From the establishment of the First Dynasty in 192 to the destruction of the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam in 1697, the Champa state existed for 1,500 years and was ruled by 15 dynasties.
The history of the Ming Dynasty records the city of Zhancheng: the city of Zhancheng lives in the South China Sea, from Qiongzhou navigation to the wind for a day and night, from the southwest of Fuzhou for ten days and nights, that is, Zhou Yue Xiangdi. Qin is Linyi, Han is Xianglin County. At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the district was called the king of Linyi. From Jin to Sui. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Zhan Bu Lao, or Zhan Po, and its king lived in Zhancheng. After reaching Germany, the country name was changed to ring. As of the Zhou and Song dynasties, they took the city as the number, and the tribute was not replaced. Yuan Shizu hated his obstruction and raised troops to break it, but he couldn't be determined.
There is no frost and snow in the country, and the four seasons are like summer, and the grass and trees are evergreen. The people take fishing as their business, there are no two wheat, and there are few people who have the strength to harvest, so the harvest is thin. People eat betel nut and never leave their mouths all day long. I don't understand the synodic hope, but the moon is born at the beginning, and the moon is obscure, and there is no leap. Day and night are ten watches, not in the middle of the day, not in the night, not in the night, and when the moon is seen, drinking, singing and dancing are fun...... These customs are described in "Sailing the World".
Wang Hou did not play the role of a defender in this dispute between Champa and the Flying Heaven Sect, but looked at the incident from an ordinary perspective. Chapter 206 When leaving the city, there is such a psychological description: At midnight in the morning, the fleet sailed to the sea in turn to the cheers of everyone. On the main deck, Wang Hou looked at the port that was getting farther and farther away, and a scene appeared: a sturdy old man in his sixties, dressed in golden clothes shining in the light, was sitting upright, drinking wine in a big bowl.
I had nothing to do with him, but because I was playing with Yan'er in Panli Lake and was attacked by someone, those "flying heads" made me curious, so I decided to visit the main altar of the Feitian Sect at night, so I recognized the old man, when he and Chen Xiong were drinking wine made of human gall in the compound, this was the first time I recognized him; The second time was also at the Flying Heaven Sect General Altar, and that night he took the risk and captured Yan Kuiyong, using this as a threat, and successfully rescued Nanhai Gong; The third time was about to fight Panli Lake, and he defeated him with ten water arrows, and because of the Lushan Yingyu, he broke his "flying head barbarian".
I clearly remember that when I caught up with the boat and pointed the torch at the old man in front of me, I knew that he was from a royal family, but he had fallen here after a failure many years ago, and he wanted to capture it, but he heard him sigh, "Providence! Everything is providential, God wants to destroy me, what is the point of living! At that moment, I actually remembered that in Wandong Garden, Fuzhou, the abbot of Zhishan smiled indifferently, "Karma, not at all, Pan Yong, you and I are friends because of martial arts, but we are ruined because of martial arts, karma and karma are ......" slapped a palm on his chest and fell to the ground and died.
Therefore, when the old man raised his palm and was about to take a picture, he did not hesitate to stop it, hoping that he would repent and reform himself. Unexpectedly, the next day he stepped down from the position of sect leader, escaped into the mountains and forests, and served the tiger with his body.
The flying head barbarians and human galls soaking wine in this incident are all documented. There is such a record in the history of the Ming Dynasty: (Zhancheng) king, Zoli people, worship Buddhism. When he was young, he collected people's gall into wine, drank it with his family, and bathed his body, saying that "the whole body is gall". The people of his country took the king as an offering, and washed the elephant with an eye. Every time you serve someone in the way, you will kill them unexpectedly, and take the guts to go. If the person is shocked, the gall has already cracked, and it is not enough. Put the courage of the people in the instrument, and the Chinese are bold, so it is especially valuable. In May and June, when the merchants go out, they must be on guard. When the king reigned for thirty years, he took refuge in the mountains, and took his brother and nephew as his sons, and he fasted and took the precepts, and told the heavens: "I have no way for the king, and may the wolves and tigers eat me, or die of illness." "If you live for a year without harm, you will be reset as before. In the country, it is called "Xi Mahara", and even the most holy name.
At the same time, there is also such a record: there is a corpse-headed barbarian (that is, a flying head barbarian), a corpse to a fish, this woman, but there is no pupil god is different. Sleeping with people at night, flying his head and eating people's filth, he will be resurrected when he comes. If anyone knows about it, and seals her neck, or moves her to another place, her wife dies. The state has set up a strict ban, and those who do not sue will be guilty of a family.
Chapter 193 wrote: Wang Hou said unhurriedly: "Tang Jing told me that Champa was the first stop of the fleet, but there was a barbarian tribe there, and the women were very beautiful, but at night, their necks could be stretched, and then their heads could leave their bodies, fly with their ears, eat insects, and prefer to eat people...... So Tang Jing asked us to be careful, don't be eaten by these flying barbarians. ”
And he said, "Don't believe it, Yan'er, there is such a thing." During the Three Kingdoms, there was a general named Zhu Huan in the state of Wu, and one of his maidservants would fly away every night after falling asleep. One night, the roommate accidentally saw that her quilt was not covered, so he kindly pulled it on, but the maid's head flew back but could not find her neck, and when the day was about to dawn, the flying head fell to the ground and was dying. It happened that Zhu Huan walked in, and was very shocked when he saw it, pulled away the brocade quilt, and flew back to his neck to save his life. ”
Tang Jing, the commander of the ship, also said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I have only heard that there is such a thing." But don't be afraid, during the day, as long as you see a woman with a red thread around her neck, stay away from them; At night, they don't appear in crowded places. ”
Of course, "Sailing the World" is not a strange ambition, but imagines and rationalizes the legend of the flying head man, and writes it as a cute flying fish, and will appear from time to time in the later text.
