The sun shines down, and after passing through the barrier of the straw shed, it becomes less scorching.
The wind blowing along the river makes this place much cooler than elsewhere.
Under the thatched hut, Heiwa, the first potter of the Qingque tribe, was holding a small jar in one hand and a brush made of animal fur, gum, and wood in the other hand, gently giving a piece of water about four centimeters long.
Brush plant ash on small pieces of mud two centimeters wide.
His movements were gentle and his expression was focused. He was more careful and conscientious than when he was painting other pottery before.
This rectangular piece of mud, which is less than one centimeter thick, is not a flat piece. There are carved marks on it.
The piece that Hei Wa is currently painting has four characters engraved on the front, the top two are "青鸟" and the bottom one is "Hei Wa".
There are many such small clay tablets, more than a hundred in total, which corresponds to the population of the tribe over three years old.
After brushing the fronts of all the small clay tablets, the front ones are already dry.
Hei Wa came over and shoveled it slightly with a thin bone piece, and carefully turned the clay tablet over.
The back of the clay tablet depicts a blue bird spreading its wings and about to fly.
This green bird is very expressive.
He turned over five clay tablets in a row, and on the back of them all was a green bird spreading its wings and about to fly.
Hei Wa's eyes wandered over these green birds, and the love and respect in his eyes were unmistakable.
Not only are these green birds painted vividly, but more importantly, each one is exactly the same!
When the Son of God made this request, even the best people in the tribe did not dare to agree.
It is not difficult to draw a blue bird, but what is difficult is to make every blue bird exactly the same!
One or two is fine, but the Son of God's request is more than a hundred.
More than a hundred identical green birds?
Anyone who knows a little bit about this aspect will know how difficult it is. It can even be said that this is simply an impossible task.
Not only did he think so, but even the shamans in the tribe and Stone, who were the most proficient in calligraphy and other things, also believed that such a thing was completely impossible to accomplish and happen.
However, this mood did not last long. Three days after Shenzi sniffed and returned to the house carrying a piece of wood, their inherent understanding was broken.
What they thought was impossible was solved by the Son of God in a not too difficult way.
The solution was the small piece of wood that the Son of God held in his hand.
He pressed the piece of wood against the newly shaped and not yet dry clay slab, and a green bird immediately appeared on the clay slab.
After seeing the solution, Hei Wa's heart suddenly became enlightened and he kept slapping himself on the head.
You shouldn't have thought of such a method.
When making pottery, I sometimes use fish bones, wooden sticks and other things to press out some marks on it. The principle is the same.
Why can't you remember to get a green bird to print on it?
After looking at the identical green bird on the back of the clay tablet for a while, Heiwa, who was still a little annoyed, couldn't help but slapped his head twice more, and then continued to paint the gray water on it.
He did this work extremely carefully, because the Son of God had made a very solemn statement before, saying that after these clay tablets were fired, they would become their tribe's...?
Identity card?
Hei Wa scratched his head, feeling a little unsure.
Well, that seems to be what it is called.
According to Shenzi, these things called ID cards correspond to each of them, one for each person, and are used to prove that they are members of the Qingque tribe.
There is an explanation for Shen Zi's behavior, which Hei Wa is a little hard to understand.
Aren’t you, and other people in the tribe, just members of the tribe?
Why do you still need to use such a pottery fragment to prove it?
Heiwa, who had brushed all the clay tablets, looked at them and thought about the God's intention in doing these things, and scratched his head in confusion again.
After living like this for a while, I can only attribute it to the fact that my level is too low and I cannot understand the idea of the Son of God being superior to others.
Two days later, this carefully crafted 'identity card' was freshly baked.
Han Cheng picked up an ID card and looked at it carefully for a while, then nodded with satisfaction.
Although this ID card is a bit rudimentary, it still has all the necessary things. There is no problem in serving as the tribe's first-generation ID card.
It won’t be too late to upgrade it when time and technology mature.
Getting ID cards for people in the tribe seems like a bit of a joke at this time.
After all, the Qingque tribe only has such a large population now. They all live in the same compound, eat, live and work together, and are very familiar with each other.
Not to mention showing half of your face, even if you show half of your butt, you can recognize who it is.
Just as the people in the tribe think, they can confirm that the other person is a member of their tribe without the need for an ID card, which seems a bit redundant.
Han Cheng naturally understands this, but the ID card is not just for proving identity. If something else is added to it, the meaning of it will be different.
In addition to this batch of ID cards carefully made of pottery, Han Cheng is also preparing to make another batch of ID cards made of small wooden plaques.
This second batch of ID cards is of course not for the Qingque tribe members who already have ceramic ID cards, but for those who later join the Qingque tribe.
Those with ceramic ID cards are first-class citizens of the Qingque tribe, and those with wooden ID cards are second-class citizens.
First-class citizens can enjoy many conveniences, just like the Qingque tribe lives now.
Second-level citizens are subject to some restrictions in terms of the rights they enjoy, such as their daily food and living quarters. Compared with the elders of the Qingque tribe, there are certain differences.
Such differential treatment is not unfair.
Treating everyone equally without distinction is the greatest injustice.
After all, the old hands of the Qingque Tribe have put in so much effort for this tribe to have the situation where they have no worries about food and clothing today.
Those latecomers, as soon as they come in, enjoy the same treatment as the old people. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Before, the Qingque Tribe had a small number of people and was still very weak. In order to develop the tribe rapidly, Han Chengdu did not take such measures to deal with the Pig Tribe and Bone Tribe.
Now that the Qingque tribe is not too weak here, it can start to carry out this matter.
Of course, people with second-level status are not always second-level. After living in the Qingque tribe for a certain period of time, their ID cards will be replaced by wooden plates.
If there are people with outstanding performance and great contributions to the tribe, this time can be greatly shortened.
Han Cheng has not set the specific standards yet. It will not be too late to wait until there are new people joining the Qingque tribe, and then it depends on the situation.
This can, on the one hand, win over the hearts of the elders of the tribe and prevent them from feeling resentful because of the injustice. On the other hand, it can point out the path to promotion for those who are latecomers, which will help them integrate into Qingque as soon as possible.
Within the tribe, let them contribute more to their tribe.
With these additional things, the seemingly useless ID card at this time becomes of great significance.
