Liu Zheng looked at Pei Yanran's appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly and clasped his fists.
Pei Yanran felt quite proud now.
It’s so difficult!
It is really difficult to find some sense of presence in front of the young master Qin Changfeng! I am the most talented woman in Shu, and for the first time I feel that my IQ has been ruthlessly crushed. At this time, I can finally find some ground.
She deliberately coughed, drank a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Master, do you know that since the last Zimo was expelled from Liangshan, these black Yi family members have supported a big Bimo?"
Liu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and made a gesture that he was willing to hear the details.
Pei Yanran then slowly said.
Liangshan, in Liu Zheng's perception, is basically full of Yi people. It can be said that even after liberation in later generations, Liangshan was basically the same. In Liangshan, a very representative place, Meigu and Zhaojue, the Yi people
Accounting for 97% of the population. Here, among the Han people in the township, only village cadres...
You can imagine.
In this era, the Yi people almost occupied Liangshan - of course, there were many other ethnic minorities, but we will ignore them here.
The religious beliefs in Liangshan do not have a specific religious name. This is because they have been an "ancestor worship type" belief since ancient times.
The ancestor worship of the Yi ancestors is based on the animistic view of all things, the three soul view and the ancestral world view of the Yi ancestors. The Yi ancestors believe that all natural objects and everything existing in natural phenomena have a mysterious attribute, that is, the existence of gods
.
We will not go into details about this.
Let’s talk about religious beliefs first.
When Liu Zheng came to this world, he rarely had contact with or understood this aspect. Except when he was in Loulan in the Western Regions, he had contact with Zoroastrianism and Islam.
But in ancient times, when scientific knowledge was not developed enough, religious belief was actually a topic that was difficult to get around.
So.
If you have religious beliefs, there must always be a carrier to carry your beliefs.
The Liangshan Yi people refer to the Yi people who call themselves "Nuosu" and have a population of nearly three million. The Liangshan Yi people have a strong concept of ghosts and gods and a complete belief system.
At this time, the carrier will come out.
Regarding faith, the Yi people have two types of full-time clergy.
They are Bimo and Suni respectively.
Suni "cures diseases and saves people" by driving away ghosts and ghosts through the possessed Asa god. Bimo uses scriptures and rituals to drive away ghosts, gods and filth that make people sick.
From this we can see that Suni is a type of goddess and wizard.
The level of Bimo should be higher, similar to the messengers of God, that is, priests.
Among the five levels of Yi society: "Zi", "Mo", "Bi", "Ge" and "Zhuo", Bimo's status is also in the third place.
This time.
Here comes the point.
To what extent can Bimo's status in the Yi people reach what level with historical changes? In real history, during the Tang and Song Dynasties and before, Bimo served as a chief and a priest in the Yi people, and he was in a ruling position.
During the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Bimo became the chief's think tank and assistant, occupying the position of assisting the government.
And at this time.
According to the approximate time of the wheel of history.
Bimo should be the one assisting Zmo.
Volume 12 of the Yi classic "The Origin of the Yi Nationality" "Bu Mogen Yuan" says: "Bu Mo has three types of collars: the first specimen collar is to control the soldiers in the sky, hold the spear and halberd in the air, and unload the saddle from the sky; the second specimen collar is to Tuo.
Large tracts of land can be opened without Bumou in person; thirdly, in the palace, Bumo accompanies the emperor and his ministers, during sacrifices, he accompanies the god Bumo, and at funerals and outside, he accompanies filial sons."
This "Bumo" is "Bimo", the transliteration is just different.
It can be seen from this.
Bimo's social status in Liangshan is extraordinary.
At least.
In terms of religious belief, he is more recognized by the people of Liangshan than the generals who expelled the Zimo family.
After these family generals and warriors expelled Zmo, they quickly promoted a Teemo who they thought was "qualified" and "obedient".
