26 The origin of the cloak
Xianbei stepped forward, picked up the Aladdin's lamp-like ornament from Tukia's chest, and asked Tukia, "The first time we did, I noticed this thing of yours, and I was embarrassed to ask at the time, this time, you should tell me what this is and what it is for, right?" β
Tukia took the ornament of Aladdin's magic lamp, and said sadly:
"The Aryans were cruel, they invaded our capital and killed all the men in the palace, even the three-year-old boys. My child, who was more than a year old, threw one of the Aryan generals into the fire......
"The Aryan soldiers wanted to take possession of us, and our national teacher prophesied about it. As early as the Aryans attacked the city, we were ready to face the tiger and wolf soldiers.
"We took the fox from the fox's glandular sac and put it in the box of this little Aladdin's magic lamp, and hung the magic lamp box around our neck with a metal chain, once we found that there was a shameless man with bad intentions towards us, we turned on the switch of the magic lamp box and released the fox cheek, no matter how iron the man was, he couldn't stand the smell, so he had to look away. If you don't believe it, you're here to smell it? β
Xianbei stepped in to stop it, saying, "Excuse me!" They have a leader. Terrible! What are you doing with this stuff? β
Tukia discussed Xianbei, "Keep it, anyway, if you don't open the lid, the fox won't be released." β
Xianbei waved his hand and let this matter go. He pointed around and said, "We're all going to live together tonight?" β
Tukia said, "Afraid of something, haven't we all lived there?" Besides, you offer us moreβnot a palace, even a tent. β
Xianbei smiled and said, "Then I will never build many palaces and provide extra tents." In this way, it will be very harmonious. β

The next day, the women hid in their tents and made clothes for the men. According to Xianbei's requirements, I made small clothes and tight pants, made a set, and asked Xianbei to try on clothes.
Take out the clothes, Xianbei looks, they are white, only the placket and the edge of the hem are trimmed with red or blue fabric, otherwise, it is an authentic filial piety shirt. Xianbei took his clothes and pants and said to Tukia, "How do you use white fabric?" β
Tukia said, "Didn't you ride a barge? β
Xianbei said, "Yes, so what? β
Tukia said, "The barge is white, and if you have to wear clothes and pants of other colors, it will be too conspicuous, and it will be easy to be attacked in battle, so I asked them to make you all white, and blend them with the barge, so that the enemy is white, and you can't tell which is the person and which is the barge, so you can't know where to start." β
Xianbei thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, it's good." However, white clothes and pants are easy to get dirty. β
"Isn't there a woman for every man?" "What do women do, when they are dirty, they wash them?" β
Xianbei said, "Then each person needs at least two sets, and one set of washing." β
Tukia said, "Which of the two sets?" I'll ask them to make three sets for you men, and when we settle down, we'll make two more sets for you, for a total of five. β
"What are you doing so much?"
"Well," said Tukia, "after a fight, there is a lot of blood splashed on the body, how can it be if you don't replace it?" β
Xianbei fought a cold war, he looked at Tukia, and thought to himself: This woman doesn't look at her age, but she has seen many killings. From now on, he will embark on the years of conquest and blood.

After making the clothes and pants, Xianbei asked, "Is there any white cloth for making clothes and pants?" β
"Also, one person can't use up five sets of makesβI wonder why they put in so much white cloth?" β
"It's not about making clothes," Xianbei said, "to make something like this: no sleeves, just a large piece of cloth, leave two cloth straps at the collar, and when you get on the horse, tie it on the collar to cover the legs and feet." β
Everyone knows that the thing Xianbei said is now called a cloak. It was invented by Xianbei in order to cover up the simple "stirrups". In the history of clothing, the cloak was invented very early, 2,441 years ago.
After hearing this, Tukia smiled, and she said, "What are you doing with this thing and putting it on your body?" β
Xianbei said, "Do you have horses in your war with the Aryans?" β
"Yes," said Tukia, "a horse-drawn chariot." β
"It's just a horse-drawn chariot," Xianbei said, "is there a single horse to fight?" β
Tukia shook her head and said, "How do you fight alone?" People only think about how to control the running horse, they can't hold a sword, they can't kill the enemy. β
Xianbei said, "In fact, the people of the future invented the saddle stirrup, which freed people's hands from running horses and allowed them to go to chopping." β
"Huh?!" Stunned, Turkia said, "Really? That's invincible! β
"Yes," Xianbei said, "the current conditions are not enough, wait until we settle down, and then find a way; Now, I've made a simple stirrup and trained like this. However, the principle of saddle stirrups is very simple, we can't let others see it, others see it, and they must learn it, and we won't have the right to patent. Therefore, we have to cover up our 'invention' so that no one else can know that the thing I asked you to do is to cover up our 'invention'. β
Xianbei's words, Tukia generally understood, but there were a few words that she heard for the first time.
Tukia said, "Well, let's do it, but we have to have a name, what is it?" β
Xianbei said, "You can call it whatever you want." β
Tukia said, "How about calling it doupeng?" β
βdoupengοΌ Do you know its name? β
"It's really called 'doupeng'?" However, when I say 'doupeng', which means 'to cover up' in our Turgu language, isn't that what you do to cover up? β
Xianbei muttered, "'doupeng', it turns out that 'cloak' comes from the Tur language? Okay, let's call this thing a 'cloak.'" β
Since then, the word "cloak" and the breed of this costume were born.
The English online translation of "cloak" is "cloak", which means covering, camouflage, disguise and covering, concealment, concealment.

More than forty women, making eleven men's clothes, were quickly ready. What's more, the cloak was originally a very good garment.
In the evening of the same day, Xianbei held a general meeting of all men and said to everyone, "We have been staying here for two days, and tomorrow, we will set off." β
Gao Feng said, "I think it's good here, shouldn't we settle here?" β
Xianbei said, "Not good. So did you join the nationality of Zhao, or did you occupy this part of Zhao? β
Gao Feng was confused and said, "I don't think anyone cares about us?" β
