Chapter 5555 The ghosts invade and destroy Tang Yao
The black robe frowned: "We have discussed this before. What the ancestor means is that these so-called descendants of the Five Emperors, the Yan and Huang descendants, are actually just the descendants of the Yan Emperor tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe, and are not necessarily the leaders of the tribes.
The same is true for the descendants of Emperor Yan or Huang Emperor himself, including Zhuan Xu, Emperor Ku and others. They are just tribesmen and may not be descendants of Huang Emperor himself. The same is true for Yao and Shun."
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, from the Yellow Emperor to Dayu, for more than two thousand years, the development of various princes and tribes in the world was also inconsistent. Some of them were still dominated by matriarchal tribes during the Dayu period. However,
Having said that, there are only patrilineal tribes, and not
It is not only the patriarchal tribe, but also a small family. The family is also a male-dominated family. This can clarify the inheritance of blood. Otherwise, if it is just a large tribe and the leader is a patriarchal, the exclusive right to women still cannot be guaranteed.
This is very important.”
Black Robe murmured to himself: "Women's exclusivity, well, the ancestor said it well. The core of the formation of a small family is that the man, as the head of the family, is the only one who owns the female members of the family.
, instead of letting the female member have sex with other men and have children, in this way, we can keep
Only by maintaining the purity of the bloodline can we ensure that the women in these families give birth to the descendants of the head of the family and not someone else. In this way, the differentiation process from the tribe to the individual family is the real patriarchal tribe.
No wonder the process of establishing it took at least two to three thousand years."
The ancestor sighed: "Yes, this process is not easy. It is a complete change of customs. We have discussed so much before. The so-called selfishness and greed of people are actually changed from the communal system of this large tribe.
The private system of small families developed step by step. After having a small family, women were monopolized to ensure that future generations were their own and not those of other men in the tribe. On this basis,
On this basis, people will gradually put their own small family above the tribe's big family, and then they will think about taking more and more public property from the tribe, in order to obtain more resources for their own small family,
So all kinds of selfishness and greed come out. The first is to get more women. If there are more women, you will have more sons and grandsons, and your small family will become bigger and bigger, and your position in the tribe will also increase.
The higher.”
Doupeng said solemnly: "Yes, I believe that when the earliest tribes began to divide into small families, they should allocate various resources to the small families according to the number of people in these small families. In fact, it is like many people now.
Just like the nomadic tribes on the grassland, they divide food, cattle and sheep, and even divide the spoils after the battle, and divide the meat and skins after the hunt. They are also divided according to each account.
The same is true for the Chinese people in the Central Plains, or the Han people. When the country allocates land to ordinary people, it also distributes it according to the number of heads, men, women, old and young. The more
The more people in the family, the more land they are allocated, which is why most ordinary people's families work hard to give birth to boys."
The black robe sneered: "Men are easy to work, and the amount of land they are allocated is more than twice as much as that of women. Therefore, many families drown or abandon their babies as soon as they see that they are giving birth to a girl. This is a common practice in the world.
My dear, people's hearts are not ancient. Even in the ancient times of the Five Emperors, I believe that the people in the tribe would not have the heart to abandon their biological children, and would definitely find a way to raise them."
The ancestor laughed: "Because the ancient tribes did not have to pay taxes. According to Liu Yu, everyone is basically equal. The so-called leader only has a say in making official decisions. It does not mean that he is better than others.
Others have too many privileges, this
It is the so-called virtue. Why do we say that the ancient sage kings convinced the public with their virtue? It is that they must have a public mind. However, after having a small family, people will become more and more selfish and greedy. When women are
It is not shared, but after exclusive use, everyone in the tribe
The clan begins to divide and disintegrate, and the establishment of a small family will make the people in the tribe increasingly put the small family above the big tribal family. As a result, various divisions of labor will be different in the entire tribe, and there will be differences in the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors.
It will slowly come out until the tribal leader, or the leader of the tribal alliance, passes the leader's power to his son instead of to a recognized sage, then the king and the emperor will officially appear, and at this time
Tribes began to transform into city-states and even countries."
Doupeng said solemnly: "So, Emperor Ku is the first person to pass the throne of emperor directly to his biological son. Is he, not Xia Qi, the first to break the rules?"
The ancestor curled up his lips and said: "Whether Yao or Zhi is the biological son of Emperor Ku? It's hard to say. Maybe the Gaoxin tribe at that time had not completely transitioned to the era when small families replaced large tribes. Yao
Or Zhi, maybe he was born to the same clan, but only his mother is known, but his father is not sure, so there was no such big objection, but one thing is clear, that is, Yao's era has completely transitioned to Xiaojia
It’s time.”
"Yao's son Danzhu can no longer be born to his clan, but must be born to Emperor Yao himself. Both parents are very clear about this. Therefore, the destruction of Tao Temple must be caused by people who do not want Danzhu to succeed to the throne and attract ghosts."
The tribe invaded and finally destroyed Taosi City.
The poor woman with the horn inserted into her lower body was probably Danzhu's biological mother. Emperor Yao and Danzhu escaped from the Tao Temple. There is also a theory that Emperor Yao did not run away, but was imprisoned. The so-called decline of Yao's virtue
, refers to the destruction of Tao Temple, which also means the end of the Tang Dynasty."
The black-robed man frowned: "So, Emperor Shun won the world in the end. Could it be said that the one who lured ghosts to attack the Tao Temple and destroy the Yao Emperor's dynasty was the Emperor Shun who had a reputation for benevolence?"
The ancestor shook his head: "It seems that it was not Shun who led the ghosts to invade, but the princes who were stationed at Shimao Fortress to defend the Di tribe in the north from the grassland, or that tribe, who led the ghosts to invade. As for that,
I'm afraid we can only know who this person is after we ascend to immortality and become gods, ascend to nine heavens, and have stronger magic power.
, but these are not important. After all, it is history that has happened. What is important is that the Guifang tribe successfully invaded the Central Plains for the first time and eliminated the dynasty that ruled the Central Plains. This proved their strong strength and made them become
A powerful enemy after the Central Plains for thousands of years. However, the great flood delayed this progress." (End of Chapter)
