Chapter 7 Rouran people return to Europe

Section 1 The Sun God from the East

Chickens are singing, pigs are eating, frogs are making noises in the east, and birds are making hooks in the west. In the distant sky, the wind and sand rise at sunset, and the sound penetrates into people's hearts. For a while, it is noisy and miserable, but the locusts come like rain. The high fields are full of millet.

The wheat in the low fields is completely green as far as the eye can see, and the farmers along the road are dead gray. The old man stands with a stick, and the old woman holds an urn and weeps.

Before the 18th century BC, Abal, a great hero of the nomadic people, was born on the Eurasian grasslands. He was good at driving, archery, medicine and witchcraft, so much so that he later became the prototype of the sun god. Two thousand years later, his

The descendants finally returned to Europe where their ancestors had lived and fought. In 558, a strange mission attracted the attention of the local people in Constantinople. These people were dressed in strange clothes and all had big braids. They were Rouran.

The people were called Avars by Europeans. Even the descendants of Attila were shocked by the arrival of this group of people. The Rouran cavalry advanced very fast, which directly caused the Huns to no longer be able to think about the great cause of restoration.

Pursued by the Avars, they could only migrate westward in a hurry, once again disrupting the political situation in Central Europe.

In the 6th century AD, Europe was torn apart by the wave of the Great Migration. The glory of the Roman Empire had long become a distant memory. Although the regime of Constantinople still regarded itself as the Roman Empire, the core of their rule had long since changed.

The Latin nation became the Greek nation. Greek also replaced Latin as the official language, and the capital of the Byzantine Empire was not in Rome. For more than half of the time, Rome was not under the rule of the Byzantine Empire. However, the Byzantine Empire still often played

The flag of ancient Rome came because many people bought into using this flag, and it was profitable to emphasize the inheritance relationship of history. In fact, at that time, not only the Byzantines called themselves Rome, but even the Turks and other nomadic peoples on the Eurasian grasslands also called themselves Rome.

In 558, when the Turks declared war on Gaida, the end of the year was also the 32nd year of the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. This was the most glorious period of the Byzantine Empire. He had conquered several Germanic states.

The nation-state owned 2/3 of the territory of the original Roman Empire, and the Mediterranean Sea almost became the inner lake of the Byzantine Empire. Generally, a country would only pay attention to the revision of legal codes when it was at its most glorious moment. It was also during this period that Byzantium

The empire promulgated the "Justinian Code" which had a profound impact on later generations. The glory of the Byzantine Empire led to a large number of foreign envoys visiting the city every year.

One day, the people of Constantinople saw a group of envoys coming from a distance on the street. Although they were already well-informed and had seen almost all the envoys from various countries, this group of people was enough.

Attracting their attention, the people of Constantinople stopped to observe. Because the clothes of these people were so strange. Everyone was wearing colorful silk, a wide belt around their waists, and long boots. The most eye-catching thing was that

The long braids on their heads, decorated with colorful strips of cloth, make them even more eye-catching. Their appearance and behavior look like European Huns, but they seem to be more elegant than the Huns. This Byzantine

The nomadic people who have never been seen call themselves the Avars. Although the Avars have never been to the Byzantine Empire before, the Byzantine Empire is not unfamiliar with the name of this nation. As early as 463 AD, that is, Rouranke

When Khan Tohzhen conquered the Sabirs in the west, Byzantine historians talked about this powerful eastern nomadic people in some works. And according to Byzantine historians, the Avars originally lived not far from the Pacific Ocean.

.The reason why they chose to expand westward was because the local climate deteriorated and they were often attacked by the beast Griffin. I believe those of us who have read some fables have an impression of the beast Griffin. It is a long-lasting beast.

The monster with the head of an eagle and the wings of a lion is somewhat similar to the Qiongqi recorded in ancient Chinese books. Most of the ancient mythical beasts seem to be a combination of several current animals. As early as 3000 BC, this monster was

Images, sculptures and legends have been spread all over the Mesopotamia and the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, and are even as famous as the Sphinx. According to ancient Greek records, Griffin guarded endless gold treasures in the mountains and forests of the far north. Later unearthed

Among the Avars artworks, the most common figure is the Griffin. It is estimated that the Avars had regarded the Griffin as their national totem at that time. Some of the Byzantine ones were recorded in the book where the Griffin attacked the Avars.

This statement probably refers to the fact that the Rouran people were attacked by Northeast Asian nomads such as Gaoche and Khitan who also worshiped Griffin.

Originally, Griffin was a well-known mythical beast in the ancient West. However, due to some special reasons, Justinian closed a large number of ancient Greek schools of Athens early in his reign, which led to the decline of classical scholarship. A large number of scholars defected to

Persia, this also caused the Byzantines to forget their ancestors. For them, ancient Greek and Roman legends like Griffin were very unfamiliar. "History" written by Herodotus, the father of Greek historiography, who lived around the fifth century BC

” book, which recorded the areas where Griffin often haunted, and also recorded a magician named Abris who could go without eating for many years. He once traveled around the world carrying a bow and arrow, and he was also a priest of the sun god Apollo.

The arrows shot are considered to symbolize the sunshine from Apollo. In fact, during the period of Herodotus, the legend about Ablis was already very old. According to Greek, if Abalis removes the suffix, it becomes Abal, Abal.

Baer refers to the Rouran people. Moreover, Ablis is not only the priest of Apollo. In ancient Greek mythology, Apollo always drove a carriage carrying bows, arrows, harps and flutes, so it was also known as the silver bow.

God and long-distance archer, various indications indicate that the prototype of the sun god Apollo should be a chariot warrior of the nomadic people in the Bronze Age. Why do you say this, because bows and arrows and harps are stringed instruments, which should be the same as those of the nomadic people.

It is related to the production of a large number of tendons and keys used to make bow strings and piano strings. Nomads have a large number of hollow animal bones, so they like to play bone flutes. Moreover, there are no wild horses in Greece, and the ancient Greeks have a very short history of raising horses.

They used horse-drawn carriages. Although the ancient Greeks had realized the power of bows and arrows, they rarely shot arrows themselves and often hired foreigners to serve as archers. The city-state of Athens hired 500 Scythian archers for a long time. From all these clues, we can judge

It turns out that the prototype of Apollo should be a chariot warrior of the Bronze Age nomads. Otherwise, the ancient Greeks would not have imagined the sun god as such an image.

Around the 12th century BC, residents on the Eurasian steppes had gradually mastered the art of horseback riding, and cavalry appeared that were more flexible than chariots. Apollo himself could not ride a horse, and he had a student who could ride a horse.

Chiron, this person is an image of a centaur and a half horse in ancient European classics. The centaur Chiron is as good at bow and arrow and harp as Apollo, and he is proficient in medicine. He has many students all over the world, and has taught many famous students, including martial arts.

Achilles was his student, and he played the role of a military doctor in the Trojan War. Before modern Western doctors obtain a medical license, they must solemnly issue a copy of the "Hippocratic Oath". This ancient

The meaning of the oath was to allow these doctors to diagnose patients properly, and it also showed Hippocrates' full respect for his mentor Apollo. When practicing medicine, Hippocrates would bring a snake with him, and the snake became a symbol of medicine.

Apollo also had a very strange nickname called the Rat Exterminator. The rat exterminator that the ancient Greeks called was probably a snake. Therefore, Apollo became associated with snakes.

Apixus, a famous doctor in the legend of ancient Rome, was also a disciple of Apollo. After Aeneas, the ancestor of the Romans, landed in Italy, he was shot by the indigenous people. The arrow pierced the thigh bone and he was in terrible pain. Apixus performed an operation on him.

First, he cut the wound open with a knife, applied Apollo's various herbs on the surface to stop the bleeding, and finally used pliers to pull out the sword, showing superb surgical skills. Ancient and modern scholars agree that the word Apollo is a foreign word. According to

According to research, Apollo's original meaning was the destroyer. Apollo also had a mysterious pet, and his statues and portraits often appeared in his temples. Or they appeared on both sides of ancient Greek coins at the same time as Apollo. This

The so-called pet is Griffin. This image of Apollo driving a carriage probably came from the Altai Mountains where Griffin guarded the treasure. Chiron may be his descendant or relative. The nomadic people where Apollo lived taught ancient Greece

People's knowledge of archery, making and driving carriages, riding horses, playing the piano, and playing the flute, medicine, etc. also gave rise to many Greek myths. Abaris also had a famous disciple, the strongman Hercules. This man lived a lifetime

Traveling around the world, eliminating violence, and being protected by Apollo, it may also be the dual image of Apollos in different spaces.

The original situation of Apollo or Abaris is not accurately reflected in ancient Greek mythology, so we need to look for this hero in older civilizations. The sacrifice of Apollo did not first appear in Europe

, but appeared in what is now Turkey. In "Homer's Epic", Apollo has always protected the mortal enemies of the Greeks, the Trojans who rule what is now western Turkey, indicating that this is an Asian god. At the same time, Apollo also

Appeared in Egyptian documents. In the 18th century BC, an Asian nomad came to the Nile Delta and brought carriages and horses to the Egyptians. Initially, they lived in harmony with the locals, but more than a century later, with this

With more and more immigrants from this nation, they began to turn against the foreigners and overthrew the 14th Dynasty of Egypt. They created the 15th and 16th Dynasties and established a new capital on the Nile Delta. The ancient Egyptians called it Hatwaret.

In fact, the original meaning of this word is Avar.

Although the rule of the Xikesu people in Egypt only lasted for 100 years, they left a lot of cultural heritage to Egypt. By the middle of the 14th century BC, the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, who was of Xikesu descent, suddenly launched a religious revolution.

They spent all the Egyptian gods and only believed in the only supreme sun god Aton. This was the earliest monotheistic religion in the world. With the failure of Akhenaten's religious revolution, Moses led the Israelites to escape from Egypt. Moses

He also forced the Israelites to give up polytheism and only allow them to believe in one god, Jehovah. Akhenaten's monotheistic revolution must also be related to the religion believed in by the ancestors of the Hyksos. This religion is the observance of the sun god, regardless of the sun god.

Whether called Aton or Apollo seems to have an inextricable relationship with Avar. It can be seen from this that before the 18th century BC, there should have been a nomadic hero Abal on the Yawu grassland.

He is good at animal husbandry, driving carriages, archery, medicine and witchcraft. He has defeated many enemies. Even the prototype of the sun god Aton is the origin of the name of the Hyksos capital Avares and the earliest source of the title of the Rouran nation. He worships

The sun is revered as the sun god by people all over the world. The chief of Cheluhui named his nation Rouran and worshiped the east where the sun rises. It was also because of this. More than two thousand years later, the descendants of Apollo finally returned

Returning to the Europe where our ancestors once lived and fought, although there were countless twists and turns along the way.

Life insights: Philosopher Russell said: "No matter what you do, you must go all out. There is no secret to success, as long as you do what you should do well." This is essentially advocating a return to "doing well."

own business” concept.

There are three types of things in the world: one is our own affairs; one is other people's affairs; and the other is God's affairs (that is, things we cannot decide and participate in). For ordinary people, if it is not other people's affairs

If we ask for help from you, then you basically don’t have to take care of other people’s affairs, and even if God wants to take care of it, we can’t. Only God has the final say on which day it thunders and which day it rains. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to do well.

Do your own thing well, including private matters. If everyone can take care of their own life and achieve good health, family harmony, and neighborhood peace, then this society will become more harmonious.

A society is a large collective that divides labor and cooperates. Without cooperation, there is no society, and without division of labor, there is no society. Except for emergency periods such as war, if you hope for stability and development, you must respect the division of labor in society. At least most people perform their duties.

Everyone should be in his own way. If you separate the overall concern for society from doing your own thing well, there will be a large number of ambitious people who boast, deceive the world, have high ambitions and low abilities, and harm the country with their talk, and so-called "talented people" who sell dog-skin plasters.

”.

Of course, to do your own thing well, you cannot just stay at the stage of good wishes. You must know how to follow the steps step by step, make overall plans, and be willing to work hard.

In fact, although there are many people who long for success, they have not figured out what they should do after many years of daily life. They still do not know that if they want to achieve the same success as others, they must first do their own things well.

Some people leave things alone for today and insist on doing them later; they leave their own things alone and interfere with other people's affairs. In fact, they waste a lot of time in this process.

and energy are enough to do the job that should be done well.

What we need to be most wary of is not villains, but hypocrites. Why do you say that? This is because hypocrites often hide the deepest. They are either taciturn and appear to have a big-hearted image, or they pretend to be enthusiastic and sincere, as if they are with you.

He is the best friend in the world, and he will go to any lengths to save you. As everyone knows, this is where he deceives you the most. We must stay vigilant and never help count the money after being sold!

For villains, as long as you recognize his face clearly, avoid him at a distance. When you have to interact with him, tolerate him as much as you can, and never offend him.

It is no use blindly "being upright and not afraid of slanted shadows". You must make some changes in your career. For example, whether your inadvertent actions have caused misunderstandings to colleagues, whether you are arrogant because of your outstanding performance, and whether you often like to be in front of others.

Showing off to others in front of others. Of course, the most important thing to think about is that your achievements are outstanding, which makes others jealous.

If some rumors are directly pointed at you, you don’t have to panic. If the rumors will cause great harm to you, of course you must stand up to fight back and defend yourself, otherwise the rumors will quickly multiply. However, you must also pay attention to your counterattacks.

Strategy, and facts are the best counterattacks.

When the truth is temporarily difficult to discern or no convincing evidence can be found, silence is the best counterattack. If it is a trivial matter, you might as well turn a blind eye to it. Some things will become darker and darker with more fanfare.

Failure to refute rumors will intensify the negative impact of rumors.

When appropriate, you can explain. Of course, you can explain to one person, two people, three people, or even ten people, but you can't explain to everyone, as long as you care about the people and the people who care about you

Just believe in you and the rumors will eventually disappear with the passage of time.

In life, if you can be open-minded and tolerant, problems will be easily solved, and you can gradually improve your position in the minds of others. Why are there rumors about yourself? Why do others target you? At least it shows that you

There is a lack of ideological exchange and emotional contact with the spreaders. Therefore, we should communicate more with the people around us and have more contacts and activities.

What needs to be reminded is that you should pay attention to protecting your privacy. When you are dissatisfied with life, it is best not to reveal it to the people around you easily, and do not confuse other people's "friendliness" and "friendship" to avoid causing trouble for yourself. If
