"The quality of jade and the spirit of the dragon together form the national character of the Chinese nation, which deeply affects each of us and distinguishes us from other civilizations and other nations in the world."
Everyone nodded, feeling that their blood was connected to these treasures in the museum.
"There are more than a hundred Chinese characters about jade, and many of them are next to the character "王", because the early characters for jade did not have that point. Jade represents king. If you look at the character "国", it means a group of people surrounding jade, that is, surrounding
king.
The characters related to jade are all beautiful. Chinese characters are very complex and have various meanings, but only jade is the only one that people love deeply and purely. It can be said that it is the only favorite.
Later, people collectively called all beautiful things treasures. Do you know what treasures are?"
The audience looked at him.
"The eaves above the jade character. We just saw the shape of the houses in Liangzhu in the front exhibition hall. Isn't it like that? The jade surrounded by a city wall is called the country, so the jade under the eaves is the treasure, also
It’s the jade at home.
At this time, it was no longer just a ritual vessel, but began to have a decorative quality. It was not even just a noble item, but began to become something owned by every family, pursued by everyone, privatized, and their own jade, which is a treasure."
He Huan subconsciously took Long Teng into his arms. He continued to talk, but everyone started laughing.
Long Teng's face turned slightly red, but he was also very happy, feeling how precious he was to her.
So the war was about to break out. The war between these two groups was the war between the Yellow River Tribe Alliance and the Yangtze River Tribe Alliance.
The ancestors of Liangzhu settled in the Qiantang Basin and began to fight against nature. Fangfeng was a person who was very good at controlling water.
Therefore, it is most likely that the dual factors of nature and war led to the disappearance of the ancient Liangzhu Kingdom.
Everyone is still not satisfied.
If Dayu really convened a conference of all nations, and many leaders attended the meeting, it means that the Xia clan is very powerful, and Dayu's status is equivalent to that of an emperor.
"Hahaha……"
After viewing the last exhibit in the last exhibition hall, He Huan smiled and looked at the large group of spectators behind him, "Okay, that's it for today."
"Six hundred years have passed, and Jiangnan is still developed. But most of the people in Yunzhou, especially the Han people, have their hometowns in Jiangnan. So don't be geographically black."
The land of China has a clear national system. Jiang Ziya canonized the gods, and the gods also have a system. The Chinese nation has shifted from the primitive worship of animism to the worship of specific gods."
This is cultural penetration. On the one hand, we use force to conquer, and on the other hand, we use cultural influence.
"The records of that era are too few, too vague, and there are many contradictory statements. At present, all can only be speculated. The only thing that is certain is that five thousand years ago, frequent exchanges between various civilizations in China began.
and violent collision.
There is indeed a way. From the prehistoric sites in the Qiantang and Taihu basins, it can be seen that the ancestors of Wu and Yue were in the Jiangnan Water Town, a naturally prosperous place with fertile soil and rich water systems. However, they were also often affected by disasters because of water.
Until Qianlong, emperors of all dynasties loved to travel around the world, and they loved touring the south of the Yangtze River the most, and they would certainly offer sacrifices to Dayu. Of course, offering sacrifices to mountains, rivers and ancient emperors was all to show their orthodox status as entrusted to heaven.
Everyone looked at Long Teng. He Huan took Miss Long into his arms like he was protecting a treasure. The audience laughed, it was indeed a treasure! Long Teng's face was red and his heart was full of sweetness.
The war lasted for a long time. When Yu succeeded to the throne, when Sanmiao suffered an earthquake, he said that they did not respect etiquette and disrespected heaven and earth. This was heaven's punishment. He raised the banner of justice for heaven and went to fight Sanmiao.
This is taking advantage of your illness to kill you.
One of his subordinates encouraged him, saying that Fangfeng didn't respect the king! He lived so close, but he came the latest, and he obviously didn't take you seriously! Dayu was unhappy, so he killed Fangfeng.
Of course, his purpose was to lure the people from Jiangnan to Yunnan and Guizhou. Shun had done this earlier, also against San Miao. Yu said that San Miao was disobedient, so let's beat him.
"In developed places, the process of civilization will always be faster. We have just seen that their production technology is very exquisite and complex, which was very rare in that purely manual era.
"We all know that human ancestors have a common memory of floods. Water is the source of civilization. Liangzhu is a beautiful island in the water, with the Qiantang River and close to the sea. There is a water conservancy project outside the ancient city of Liangzhu, which shows that when the city was built
, with flood prevention in mind.
Everyone laughed.
"Hahahaha..." Some naughty spectators began to call the little piggy next to them.
"Little White Dragon! Where are you going tomorrow?" asked an audience member.
We generally believe that the formation of the national system is the beginning of civilization. Because people have not found any evidence of the Xia Kingdom, historians initially believed that the five thousand years of history was an exaggeration.
Up to now, it’s still the free shipping area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, right?”
Although it was not a centralized power at that time, it already had this meaning, that is, I am a big country and you are a small country, and you have to give me this face.
This is a fierce tribal group, with witchcraft and punishment, created myths, and its level of civilization may even surpass the Huaxia Group. Sanmiao thinks that the Yellow River Plain is good and can expand its territory. The Huaxia Group said, I think your place is also good.
You can go south to expand your territory.
In that flood, the Liangzhu ancestors may have lost their homes and moved and integrated into other civilizations. They may also have disappeared during tribal conflicts. The story of Xia Yu killing Fangfeng is still circulated in the Qiantang Basin.
Therefore, Yunzhou preserves many Jiangnan-style places. When people miss their hometown in a different place, traditions are often passed down better in a different place, which is nostalgia. Tengchong is called Little Jiangnan.
This is actually a meeting of the princes. When you convene a meeting to summon the leaders from all over the country, the meaning is very clear: you are the common ruler of the world.
The citizens became proud.
He Huan held Longlong in his arms and felt happy. After all, what he had was a treasure, and it didn't matter if he didn't have a home.
Within this kingdom, in addition to farmers who could make and use advanced tools such as stone plows, handicrafts and textile industries also emerged. They polished jade and weaved cloth.
"I won't tell you." He Huan said after thinking carefully.
He Huan said: "The reason why the Liangzhu culture is called the Liangzhu Kingdom by some scholars is that it has city walls, palaces, and a square shape. This is the style of a capital city.
There are also traces of seawater erosion in the ruins. In the cultural ruins of the same period, traces of floods have been found throughout China. This shows that in the late Neolithic Age, humans experienced a major flood.
"Holding the banner of justice for heaven, with the help of Dongyi, another wave of war was launched against Sanmiao, which had just suffered a natural disaster, and was directly driven from the Yangtze River Basin to the wilderness of the northwest and southwest. Huaxia Group achieved the final victory
.
However, as for Fangfeng, he knew Dayu well and often went to control floods in person. Kuaiji was nearby. At that time, he was outside to control floods. He only arrived covered in mud on the third day of the conference. Dayu felt that he had been slighted.
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did the same thing at the beginning. He sent Lu Jia, a descendant of Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Nanyue Kingdom, to Baoshan, the center of the Ailao Kingdom."
For each exhibit, He Huan explained its origin, meaning, contemporary level, and connection with other cultures in a clear and interesting way. Although he stayed for a long time, everyone was not in a hurry.
In the last three expeditions to Luchuan, although the main battlefield was at the border of Yunzhou, it had to pass through Guizhou, with Guizhou as the rear. The expedition was excessive and encountered resistance from the Miao people. War broke out and accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
Is Chongqing one family? Or is it the Yangtze River Group?"
In the frequent exchanges and wars between people and nature and tribes, they finally converged into the first dynasty with specific records, which is also regarded as the beginning of Chinese civilization, Shang.
"Another possibility is war. The common people in the world cannot just rely on meetings and reasoning. They have to take action in the end.
In the Ming Dynasty, people from the south of the Yangtze River immigrated to Yunzhou. Liu Bowen said that there are thousands of rivers in the south of the Yangtze River and thousands of mountains in Yunnan and Guizhou. Five hundred years later, Yunnan and Guizhou will be better than the south of the Yangtze River.
If Dayu was the leader of the tribes in the Central Plains and set out to visit Jiuzhou and toured the south of the Yangtze River, then he was the first emperor to tour the south of the Yangtze River. He started the tour, and the emperors who followed him followed him to the south of the Yangtze River."
Everyone knows that Dayu controlled floods. This story was born during the great flood. There are many stories about Dayu circulating in the Qiantang Basin. One of them is that Dayu heard that the Fangfeng family in Jiangnan had a good way of controlling floods.
According to records, he was not like ordinary humans. He was a giant with long arms and legs, and his abilities were as high as the sky. Dayu learned a lot of experience in water control from Fangfeng.
Everyone laughed.
"If there is a pig in the house, it is called home; if there is jade in the house, it is called treasure."
Of course, the whole country is called Little Jiangnan, and there are a lot of Jiangnan. Because everyone loves Jiangnan so much."
We have just seen textile utensils and silk products. The Silk Road began in the north, but the origin of silk should be in the south of the Yangtze River. From 10,000 to 5,000 years ago, the ancestors of Wu Yue laid the foundation for the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. Silk
the status of the capital.
In fact, it may be that our own people fought against our own people, if it was all formed by the dispersion of the ancestors of Wu and Yue. Anyway, human beings migrated and fought, and they became a family long ago.
Shun said he was tired and stopped fighting. He moved our people among them, spread our culture and changed their customs.
Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty discovered Yunzhou, which was a mysterious ethnic group unknown to the south anyway, also known as Yue and Dianyue. The Qin Emperor conquered Baiyue, and the Han Dynasty conquered Dianyue, not too long apart.
Everyone laughed, feeling helpless.
Some people moved north to the Central Plains and integrated into Central Plains culture and northern culture such as Longshan Culture. Therefore, the reflection and continuation of Liangzhu Culture can be seen in Longshan Culture.
When people start to settle down, they have to grab territory. Therefore, in the history of our country, it is relatively rare for the south to attack the north. Basically, the north attacks first.
This is caused by climate and geographical factors. There are conditions for settlement in the south, so there is no need to go outside to grab territory. But in the north, it is cold and there are few fields. What should we do? We can only migrate to the south, and there will be fights during the migration.
"Of course, in the end, no matter how dark things are, we are still one family."
Dayu was the leader of the Central Plains tribes in the Yellow River Basin, but his tomb and stories appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. This in itself shows that the Xia Dynasty really existed.
He Huan thought about it seriously, and everyone looked at him expectantly. In fact, the people who came to the museum were basically local citizens, and tourists preferred West Lake, Qiantang River and some Internet celebrity neighborhoods.
"Hahaha……"
After the flood control was successful, Yu the Great settled the nine provinces and convened the Great Conference of All Nations. It is not known whether this was the first or the second time. From those rare records, it can be inferred that one of the conferences should have been in Kuaiji, that is, Shaoxing.
According to another record, Yao, Shun, and Yu all attacked Sanmiao, which is the clan whose leader Chiyou rode the panda in the legend. They were the Jiuli tribe, living in the Hanjiang Plain in the Yangtze River Basin. In the war between Yanhuang and Jiuli, they lost
They dispersed and one of them became three seedlings.
"The home textile industry has flourished for thousands of years. In addition to the development of agriculture and handicrafts, the prosperity of Jiangnan has also given birth to many celebrities. Jiangnan talents have been famous throughout the ages! There are also Jiangnan beauties."
This shows that there is enough food to eat, and some people can engage in handicrafts and exchange their own jade and cloth for food. The barter exchange is very prosperous. This also gave birth to the first business. So Zhejiang merchants are very powerful!
Zhu Yuanzhang did the same thing. If he was not convinced, he would be beaten until he was convinced. If he was still beaten, he would have to work hard for the people of Jiangnan to spread the culture of the Central Plains.
I wasn't able to go to the ruins, but I saw photos of the ruins and imaginary ancient Chinese paintings of Liangzhu.
This is a story. There are many stories about Dayu's flood control and stories about Dayu and Fangfeng circulated in the south of the Yangtze River. This also confirms the existence of Dayu.
But the ancient Liangzhu Kingdom disappeared. The first possibility was that it was swallowed up by floods. When Qin Shihuang visited Kuaiji, there was still water here. Qin Shihuang came to offer sacrifices to Dayu. Of course, this was not the purpose. The purpose was to set up a stone to look at the South China Sea and carve praises for Qin's virtues.
.
The audience laughed.
Everyone listened with great interest, but they never expected that Yunzhou and Jiangnan, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, have such a deep connection from ancient times to the present.
After Dayu killed Fangfeng, he patrolled the south of the Yangtze River and found that people silently offered sacrifices to Fangfeng, missed Fangfeng, ignored him, and were obviously dissatisfied with him. Dayu regretted it and later died in Kuaiji, so people built Dayu in Kuaiji Mountain.
Mausoleum.
However, before the Xia Kingdom, the prototype of a country had already appeared in Liangzhu. The social division of labor was clear, the hierarchy was clear, and a etiquette system was in place. This has also become the evidence of the five thousand years of Chinese history.
There is also a group of people living in luxurious palaces, surrounded by beautiful jade and fine clothes. However, such a prosperous civilization suddenly disappeared. Why?"
Even if you fight, you won't be conquered. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang strengthened his rule over the southwest. Throughout his dynasty, he encountered strong resistance from the Miao people in the process of using troops against Yunnan and Guizhou. The Nanman barbarians were tough, and that was from Yanhuang.
Times are tough.
Based on this, some scholars also proposed that the Liangzhu people moved to the Central Plains and established the Xia Dynasty and became the ruling class of the Xia Dynasty. There is also the theory that Dayu was a native of Jiangnan, the ancestor of Liangzhu, and the Yue people were descendants of Dayu.
Everyone looked at him.
At that time, Dongyi had been conquered by the Huaxia Group in the war, and Yu asked Dongyi to help fight Sanmiao. It was the ethnic group represented by Fangfeng. They used birds as their totems, and they suddenly flew to the battlefield with big wings, like pandas.
Turn around and run into the mountains."
"Returning from the southwest to the southeast, natural disasters and wars caused some Wuyue ancestors to go north and integrate into the culture of the Central Plains, and some entered the southeastern coastal hills, allowing the First Emperor who later truly unified China to conquer Baiyue, and the battle was very hard.
Also, if he said so, there would definitely be a sea of people there tomorrow.
There were still few people in the museum, so Xiao Bailong finished the lecture by himself.
He walked out, but before he reached the door, several people came up to him, smiling and extending their hands, "Xiao Bailong, although you are about to walk out now, I still want to say: Welcome!"
The audience voluntarily dispersed and went out contentedly, looking forward to meeting Little White Dragon again tomorrow.
