Stepping on the path paved with bluestone slabs, Yang Xiuwen and others came to the entrance of the village.

A huge wooden archway stands at the entrance of the village, the eaves arch wood, the arch is written in the middle of several big characters [Li Bai Nationality] around the engraved stone hammer, stove, rice ear, long knife, iron fork.

Wang Sheng asked, "Professor Bai, do these patterns have any meaning?" ”

Bai Yusheng smiled, looked at Yang Xiuwen and said, "Xiuwen, you are a major in the Department of Archaeology, can you explain it to the big guy?" ”

Yang Xiuwen looked at him and said helplessly: "Professor Bai, let's call you Patriarch Bai, why do I think you are a little weird today." “

Bai Yusheng was shocked, such a keen guy, he discovered the abnormality so quickly.

But he said: "Don't worry about anything else, let's solve your doubts first, is it feasible?" “

Yang Xiuwen nodded and said, "Okay, let me tell you my understanding, whether it's right or not, it's up to you to judge." “

After speaking, he pointed to the pattern on the archway, "Stone hammer, furnace, long knife, iron fork, is smelting, forging weapons, and the Emperor Chiyou was known as the king of soldiers in ancient times, the god of the main soldiers."

According to legend, together with the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, he was the leader of the Jiuli tribe in the East, with eighty-one brothers, and established Jiuli City to recover the barbarians in the east.

After the Great War, the Yan and Huang Emperors.

Emperor Chiyou was not only good at making weapons, but also let the clansmen learn to farm and sow seeds, cultivate rice and grain, and the clansmen benefited a lot.

Therefore, the pattern on the archway should be to commemorate the merits of the emperor.

But the Li Bai clan, I don't know what it means.

THE MAIN SURNAMES OF THE JIULI TRIBE ARE JI, FEI (GUI), YAO, XIAO (SI), JIANG, WIN, YAO (JI), YU (YUN), AND LATER EVOLVED INTO CHI, TU, LI, ZOU (ZOU), AND OTHER SURNAMES, BUT HOW TO SOLVE THE WHITE SURNAME? “

Bai Yusheng said appreciatively: "Yes, Xiuwen, it seems that you have a deep research attainment in the history of China!" Your understanding of the pattern on the torii is completely correct.

As for the Li Bai clan, it is to distinguish another ethnic group, the black clan, the Li clan black clan.

In fact, the original two ethnic groups were surnamed Li, because of some disputes, it was changed to, white, black, there are also Li surnames in the two ethnic groups, and there are also water surnames, haven't you seen it? “

At this time, Shui Maosheng was dressed in white clothes and had a white bun wrapped around his head and walked out of the village.

Seeing Yang Xiuwen and them, he said happily: "Professor Wen, Yang Xiuwen, Wang Sheng, Feng Min, you are here." “

Turned around and saluted Bai Yusheng: "Patriarch." “

Bai Yusheng smiled and asked, "Mao Sheng, are you back, is Li Li back?" “

Shui Maosheng shook his head: "He was recuperating in the army hospital and couldn't come back, so his sister Shaya went to take care of him." “

After speaking, he stopped talking, and finally sighed, "Hey! “

Bai Yusheng said in his ear: "There may be a turnaround!" The key lies in Yang Xiuwen. “

His eyes lit up, "Patriarch, you invited him over... “

Bai Yusheng nodded.

Yang Xiuwen felt a chill behind him, feeling as if something bad had happened, and it was aimed at himself.

Seeing the water, the two of Bai exchanged heads, glanced at themselves from time to time, and guessed in their hearts that it might be related to the Bai clan.

As they entered the village, they stopped in front of a two-story wooden building near the center of the village, and an old man in his seventies walked out of the wooden building.

The years left a heavy mark on his face, and the furrow-like wrinkles were written on his forehead, and on his face, a white bun was wrapped around his head, and his beard was frosted.

But his eyes seem to be able to see through everything, sharp and sharp.

The body is slightly bent, and the hand covered with green tendons and dry hands holds a cane made of rattan.

The cane may be used for a long time, and the place where it is held is slightly darker, smooth and oily, and the top of the cane is curved and forked, looking like a dragon's head with a slightly open mouth.

The old man came to him, looked around at the group, stayed on Yang Xiuwen for a while, and then said to Bai Yusheng: "Yu Sheng, are these the guests you invited?" “

Bai Yusheng, crossed his hands on his chest, bent down and saluted, and said, "Grandpa, yes, I'll introduce you... “

The old man waved his hand: "Since you are a guest, please come into the house and serve tea, don't be lazy." “

After speaking, he glanced at Yang Xiuwen again, turned around and went back to the house.

Wen Dexing was a little stunned at this time, and asked, "Lao Bai, was your grandfather just now?" “

Bai Yusheng nodded, "Yes, my grandfather has always been like this, I was afraid of him since I was a child, and then my dad had an accident, and he cherished words like gold, it's okay, let's go into the house, I'll make you some good tea." “

The layout of all the wooden buildings in Nanyun Village is similar, the first floor is not built close to the ground, but is high above the ground, and the bottom is empty, which is said to prevent snakes and insects, and can also ventilate and cool down.

In the middle of the house there is a wooden tripod, or an iron hook hanging directly from the roof, on which an iron pot or kettle is hung, and below it is not a wooden plank, but a concave stone slab one meter square.

This is a place where the fire is lit and cooked, and there are small stools around it.

Yang Xiuwen looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the clansmen here.

The whole small building is ventilated everywhere, and the smoke burning in the house will be quickly discharged, and in winter, the hot air from the burning on the first floor will be conducted on the floor of the second floor, which has the effect of floor heating in the future.

Bai Yusheng beckoned everyone to sit around the fire, picked up the kettle and filled it with water from the water tank next to it, hung it on the iron hook above the fire, added a few sticks of firewood, and the flames began to lick the bottom of the kettle, and the smoke rose faintly and dispersed on the roof.

After doing this, Bai Yusheng said mysteriously: "Wait a minute, I'll go get the good tea I treasured." ”

After saying that, he walked into the next room.

Wen Dexing looked around and said with emotion: "In this environment, I am in a trance, as if I have traveled through time and space, and come to the era of ancient men and women weaving, simple, simple, and thick of fireworks. ”

Wang Sheng sniffed and said, "Professor, the smell of smoke is indeed very strong, why don't we go and sit in the courtyard." ”

Wen Dexing glared at him, "Your Chinese is taught by the physical education teacher, it's really a chicken and a duck, it doesn't matter." ”

Feng Min giggled, pointed at Wang Sheng and said, "If the poet is with you, he will be angry to death, hahaha!" ”

Wang Sheng touched his head, "What do you mean, am I wrong?" The smell of smoke is really strong! Xiuwen, what do you say?"

Yang Xiuwen couldn't help but smile and nodded, "You're right, the smell of smoke, the smell of stupidity is really big!" ”
