Chapter 59: Chapter 11: The Autumn River (6)

"I have lost both of my parents since I was a child, and I have never had a surname, a given name, a given name, or a name, or a character as you say. The nerd replied.

"It's pathetic, I don't even know what I'm called. Miao Yu sighed.

"When I was at the outside of Xinzhuang, everyone called me to do 'hey'. Later, I met the third brother, and the third brother called me to be a 'nerd'. The nerd said.

"You're such an idiot. Miao Yu said with a smile.

"Why?" the nerd asked.

"You're not Han. Miao Yu said.

"How do you know?" the nerd exclaimed.

"Since you are Han, why don't you know your name?" said Miao Yu with a smile.

"My parents died young, and they never told me about it. The nerd said.

"Hahaha, Han people cherish their surnames and names very much. As you just said, it is not to be believed. After Miao Yu laughed, he looked at the stunned nerd, and said, "The 'surname' is the left and right structure, the left 'female' and the right 'sheng', which means 'born' from 'female'." It's very vivid, isn't it? Therefore, the 'surname' respects the mother, focuses on blood relatives, and is the identity of the family, indicating that there is a blood relationship with a certain large family.

'Clan' is the glory of the father. In order to commemorate the great achievements he created, his son mostly took the name of his father's title and fief, and his descendants passed it on from generation to generation. Therefore, the 'clan' commemorates the father, and it is also the reason why the children take their father's surname. For example, my father and I have the same surname Mi, he is Bai, and I am Miao.

'Name' refers to the symbol of an individual. After the baby was born, on the morning of the '100th day', the mother and the nanny came to the hall with the baby in their arms to see his father, who solemnly held the child's hand and named him. After the name was decided, the mother and the nanny carried the child back to the inner room. The mother then tells the child's 'name' to her in-laws, who inform her relatives, and the father tells her friends, reports to the magistrate, and registers her naturalization. In the evening, a '100-year-old' feast will be held at home.

When the Han people sacrificed to the gods and ancestors, in order to show respect, they did not dare to directly call the gods and ancestors by their names, so the 'character' was produced. Therefore, the 'character' is actually the name of a person who denotes respect. There is a certain sense of connection between 'name' and 'character', which complement each other and complement each other. Han people think it is very rude to call them by their first names, for example, I am surnamed Mi, Miao, Mingrun, and Ziyu. Therefore, my father called me to be Miao Yu, not Miao Run.

Surnames are so important to the Han Chinese that even if your parents died when you were young, when you are 12 years old, the person who adopted you will definitely tell you your name and recount the merits of your ancestors. So, how can you not know your name?"

Seeing through by Miao Yu, the nerd simply ignored it, followed behind Miao Yu, and hurried silently with his head down.

"It's not your fault that you have barbarian blood," Miao Yu said silently when he saw the nerd, "The so-called barbarians and the so-called Han people are all family." The so-called dog Rong and the Xiongnu have the same ancestor, both from the Yellow Emperor. The emperor bestowed on the barbarian Han clan and Ke Niang who returned to the obedience, not to give these barbarians a favor, but to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. ”

"I don't know why it's only given by name and name?" the nerd asked.

"Wait for the concubine to come out. Miao Yu said with a smile. After finishing speaking, seeing that the nerd was a little angry, he said softly: "You are here, there are nothing more than three endings, death, leaving to be assimilated by us, otherwise you can only escape." ”

"You!" said the nerd angrily.

"Don't be angry," Miao Yu said with a smile, "If this trip is successful, the emperor will definitely reward you, and with the title and fief, your descendants can get a surname according to your merits." ”

"I was meritorious because of the Phoenix Mountain case, and the emperor awarded me the 'Pingyi Gongcheng' and was named the 'Pingyi General'. The nerd said.

"In this way, if you marry a wife and have children, then the child's surname is 'Ping'?" Miao Yu said with a smile.

"One of your daughters' family is so red tape. The nerd muttered, "Names and people are nothing more than marks, which are easy to meet and remember, but you say so many articles, so boring, no wonder the third brother escaped overnight." ”

"You?" Miao Yu was so angry that her face was red, and she said angrily, "You are a yellow-bearded child, and your sister-in-law enlightened you so much, but I never wanted to be so humiliated by you! It's not that my big man is weak and can be bullied, but it's really my big man who is benevolent and generous, and your yellow beard is a witness. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry," the nerd hurriedly said, "I am indeed a descendant of Xianbei, I originally lived in Qian'an, and my grandmother is a guest mother." My parents were both born to a guest mother. After the death of his grandparents, he was ordered to immigrate to Thuan An with his parents in accordance with imperial law. I never thought of going to Xinzhuang, and both parents were sick and died. I was only five years old at the time, and I was adopted by Xin Zhuang to play with the young master. Because of his orc ancestry, his parents died early and there was no one to protect him, so he was often bullied. Everyone called me 'Hey', and after a long time, I forgot my name. When he was fourteen years old, he accompanied the young master to practice riding and archery, was bullied by the coach, beat him to death by mistake, and was left behind. Later, when he met his second brother, he was able to make contributions, and when he met his eldest brother again, he was able to become famous. Now the third brother is dead, the second brother is unknown after being taken captive, and the eldest brother does not know when they will see each other again. Sister-in-law just made a statement about her surname, and my brother really couldn't bear it, so I offended my sister-in-law, please forgive my sister-in-law. ”

When Miao Yu heard this, he didn't feel his heart sour, and shed tears: "If the clan is not right, it will drift around, and if the bloodline is not pure, it will be bullied in all directions." ”

"Isn't my sister-in-law also suffering?" the nerd asked.

"Although you have barbarian blood, you are recognized by the imperial court, and you still have the opportunity to make contributions, but my Miao clan is the queen of the anti-minister. Miao Yu said, "My ancestor Dou Yuejiao, a heavy minister of the king of Chu, has always been ambitious because of his high skills, and he has coveted the throne for a long time. During the Hundred Years of Cruel War, while the King of Chu was away, he launched a rebellion in the capital, and cut off the return route of the King of Chu in an attempt to seize the throne. After learning the news, the king of Chu returned to the division in time, and Dou Yuejiao relied on his infinite strength, pulled a round and hard bow, and almost killed the king of Chu with an arrow. Later, the king of Chu asked Xiang Ji to gamble with Dou Yue Jiao, and Dou Yue Jiao was hit by Xiang Ji's arrow in the center of the nest. The rebellion failed, and the Dou clan was wiped out. However, the son of Dou Yue Jiao, Dou Ben Huang, was spared from disaster, defected to the King of Jin, was courteous by the Jin King, and was sealed in Miaoyi, and his descendants took 'Miao' as his clan. ”

"But will Nakaro be the king?" the nerd asked.

"It's this person. Miao Yu said.

"With the archery technique of Tsugibi, the consequences can be imagined. The nerd shook his head and sighed, "After the end of the Hundred Years of Cruel War, the empire withdrew the state and established counties, ending the era of warlords and opening up the current period of great unification. In the early days of the Great Unification, the emperor carried out a great purge, I wonder if your Miao clan was hit by this?"

"That's when we got there. Miao Yu said.

"I see. The nerd said, "This place is called a fairyland, and you are all immortals! People from outside want to come in, but they can't find the door." ”

"You don't know that this place is full of descendants of those who have fled from calamity. Miao Yu said with a smile, "Life is short for dozens of years, peace and comfort is the right way, why bother asking for that fame? As the song sings: 'The world knows that the gods are good, but only the fame cannot be forgotten; The world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can not forget, and in the end they only hate to gather much, and when they reach a long time, their eyes are closed. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but the wife can't forget it; Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only the children and grandchildren cannot forget;

"I see. The nerd said. The similar background led to a conversation between the two, although they had different backgrounds and many disputes. But with the dispute between the two, thinking of the death of the third brother, the whereabouts of the second brother, and his own pain, the nerd slowly had the idea of settling in the mirror image of Phoenix Mountain, like Uncle Bai and Miao Yu, to avoid the troubled world.
