Chapter 0608: Assimilation

Ran Min adopted Xu Zhiqing's advice, and the next day he discussed with the ministers in the court, and then issued a new decree.

In the original strategy of targeting the Hu people in Liangzhou and Heshuo, the Great Wei Empire basically recruited its warriors as soldiers, set up official schools in the local area, recruited the children of the Hu people to enroll, and at the same time introduced the children of the Hu nobles to study in the Central Plains or to study in Daliang, and then canonized some chieftains of the Hu tribes as officials to appease them.

However, the following three articles have now been added.

First, to encourage intermarriage between the Hu and Han ethnic groups, and if the Hu girl marries the Han, the government can give three silk horses and five pieces of money. When a Han girl marries Hu'er, the government can give a silk horse and two cattle and sheep.

Second, Hu people are encouraged to change their surnames to Han and become Han nationals, which has certain rewards. Moreover, the imperial court also made it clear that the sons born to men and women of the Hu and Han clans must be Han children unless there are special circumstances.

Third, the Hu people in the northwest migrated into the Central Plains year by year, transforming the attached minority ethnic groups into household Qi people, paying taxes to the imperial court, and undertaking labor to make up for the shortage of labor after years of war.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers all shouted a tsunami and agreed very much with Ran Min's measures.

In fact, Ran Min was still very uncomfortable in his heart.

Since ancient times, the "root" of the Han people is in Yanhuang, and the Han people are known as the "descendants of Yanhuang" and the descendants of the dragon, and the Han family was called "Huaxia" in ancient times, so there is a saying that the Chinese civilization has been up and down for 5,000 years.

However, China has always agreed with the "cultural theory", not the "bloodline theory", so in this era, there is basically no Yanhuang bloodline with the roots of Miao Hong, but everyone agrees with it, so they are all one race.

Thinking of the future generations, Ran Min couldn't help but feel related.

Assimilation is a nice thing to say, but I don't know who assimilated whom!

Did the Han assimilate the Hu people, or did the Hu people assimilate the Han people? Or is it radical national integration?

In Ran Min's view, in later generations of China, the Han people were actually assimilated by the Hu people!

There is no noble bloodline in the world, but there is a noble culture.

The current northern Han people, from the perspective of blood, are mostly a mixture of Hu and Han, or father and mother Hu, or father and mother Hu, and they can no longer distinguish between them.

And the Han people in the south are mostly fathers and mothers, but there should be many fathers and mothers. The current Han nationality is far from being the Han nationality in the Western Han Dynasty, and has undergone various changes in the middle.

The Han culture is an agrarian culture, and the Hu culture is a nomadic culture. The economic base determines the difference between the two.

The Han people worked hard in a fixed area, and after thousands of years established a complete set of order and operation models, until later generations, modern people still admired the wisdom of the ancients.

The ancient Han society was an advanced civilization and efficient, but its disadvantage was that they would be lazy and unenterprising after living a comfortable life without pressure. The Hu people live in pursuit of water and grass, survive in the harsh natural environment, must be industrious and brave, they are free and free, uninhibited, and worship nature.

They never think about business, they go to another place when they finish eating this meadow, and they don't think about the next meal. When you can't feed yourself, go and grab it. In terms of people, they believe that birth, old age, sickness and death are regular, so they don't care about the elderly.

They observed the hunting of beasts and summed up their own art of war. They despise weakness.

When they went south to see the Han people of Wenzou, they were surprised by the prosperity created by the Han people, and envied the comfortable life of the Han people, snatching was the only way. This determines its brutality.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Hu people moved south to live. Because of backwardness, they are often ridiculed and teased by the Han people, and the Hu people live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs.

After the Jin Dynasty, the world was unified, living and working in peace and contentment for decades, and the Han people lived comfortably again.

After the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, taking advantage of the civil strife of the Han people, the Hu people invaded the Central Plains, and the Five Hu Rebellion occurred. The Han people in the north were almost wiped out!

From that time to the unification of the Sui Dynasty, the north has always been the world of the Hu people, the Hu culture has been vigorously developed, although the Hu people have been learning the political system of the Han people and many other aspects, but it can only be called imitation, the Hu people can never understand the Han culture of the unity of heaven and man and many other concepts.

Just like modern people eat Western steak, it's just fresh, and no one will think about the cumbersome etiquette behind the table.

At that time, the Hu people were a kind of cultural worship of the Han people!

During this period, one of the things that made Ran Min most unhappy was the Sinicization reform of Emperor Xiaowen, which messed up the Han people.

A large number of Hu and Han intermarriages led to the Han people being mixed with Hu genes. The royal families of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Sui and Tang dynasties all had Hu genes. Mass intermarriage also began. Hu culture successfully invaded Han culture.

The Tang and Song dynasties were able to appear because Hu culture had not yet dominated at that time. Han culture is still ahead of Hu culture, but the gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller.

The most interesting thing about this period is that the descendants of the Hu people and the Han people who were hybridized seem to have lost the courage and tenacity of the Hu people. The destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty by Jin is an example. A large number of Hu-Han mixtures in the north were massacred by the Jin.

After the Mongols destroyed the Jin, they slaughtered 80% of the Hu-Han mixture.

After the Battle of Yashan, the Southern Song Dynasty perished, and almost all Han elites were martyred. Coupled with the massacre of the Mongol army, the Han people decreased dramatically, and the Hu culture probably surpassed the Han culture at this moment.

Since then, Han culture has declined and declined, until modern times it has almost disappeared. China has never risen again!

The Hu people were able to seize land by force, but they did not know how to govern this agrarian society.

In this respect, the Hu people are inferior to the Germanic peoples. After the Germanic occupation of Rome, the people were self-aware, and the society was governed by the Romans, who only kept their arms.

And the Hu people manage according to their own set. They just saw the Han people as sheep on the grassland. When they could not manage so many Han Chinese, they slaughtered the city and reduced the number of Han Chinese. This was true of the Mongols, and so was the Manchus.

At this time, the Han people were almost all Hu-Han mixtures or Han barbarian mixtures!

The Han people are civilized, wise, polite, filial, although weak but virtuous, and because of the origin of agricultural culture, they are often more frugal, they understand how people get along with each other, and how people and nature get along. They attach great importance to self-cultivation.

The Han people are noble, so they look down on the Hu barbarians. Han people value the reputation of faith and righteousness, so they love face.

The Hu people are industrious, brave and tenacious, barbaric and rude, aggressive and brave, but they are only the courage of the horseman, they believe in the victory of the king and the defeat of the king, the overlord when the power is gained, and the slave after the loss of power.

They are extravagant, untemperate, greedy, and indulgent.

They have low IQ, short-sightedness, they don't know philosophy, let alone study it, they only value interests, and interests determine how they behave and do things. They are obsessed with success and hegemony.

The high-pressure political environment of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties was not suitable for the Han people with integrity, and those who dared to resist were all dead, leaving only some servile Hu and Han mixtures, and derived the culture of self-preservation of Mingzhe. The only bravery of Hu culture has also been exhausted.

The whole Chinese culture has been made dead by high-pressure politics, and it can no longer be slowed down!

At the beginning of man, nature is evil.

People's behavior and thinking are changed by education. The culture of the Hu people is developed on the basis of satisfying human nature, and it is a culture of selfishness. Compared with the Han culture, which strictly imprisons personal desires, it is easier to be accepted and disseminated.

When a Han man marries a Hu wife, his children grow up with a mind that depends on the influence of their parents and the society at the time. The Han husband asks the child to be filial to his grandmother, while the Hu wife does not ask for it or even objects to it in private, and the child is obviously more inclined to be unfilial, because then he can devote less time, energy and affection.

If there are more Hu people around their homes, people are accustomed to it, and they will not be condemned and punished if they are not filial, which will increase the probability of being unfilial.

The Hu people educate their children in laissez-faire and are not as strict as the Han people.

Slowly, although the child is still called Han Chinese, it is becoming more and more deviant from Han culture. The process is slow and varies from family to family. The so-called free society of modern Westerners is a selfish society, but the law maintains order.

Han culture is to maintain order through self-cultivation and etiquette, the so-called self-denial and revenge, is a high-quality civilization and advanced culture.

The culture formed by the ancient Han people for thousands of years was destroyed by the Hu people for thousands of years.

This makes Ran Min not know whether to be sad or celebrate!
