Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 95

In later dynasties, the people at the bottom were called Li Min people.

Li.

It means the Jiuli nationality.

It can be explained that the later common people are the descendants of the soldier Chi You.

Why is this happening?

Lin Feng didn't know either, he only knew that at the beginning of the feudal era after 2000, many emperors... worshiped the Yellow Emperor, but worshiped Chi You.

There are many written records in ancient books, saying that the sacrifices to Chiyou were carried out during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the Han Dynasty, Chiyou temples were even established in various places. There are few historical books before the Han Dynasty about offering sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor. According to records, it is obvious that people at that time worshiped Chi You even more.

For example, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake Uprising. There is such a passage recorded in "Historical Records":

"Sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor, offering sacrifices to Chiyou in Peiting."

"It is said that the Yellow Emperor fought in Banquan, and the world will be determined. Chiyou is good at five soldiers, so the temple sacrifices are for blessings and auspiciousness."

Chi You is the ancient god of war, the lord of war, a symbol of invincibility. Before a battle, worshiping the God of War is a way to boost morale. With the power of the God of War, the soldiers may be more brave.

Qin Shihuang enshrined Mount Tai to worship Chi You, which is even more puzzling.

"Limin."

"Limin."

Huang Di murmured and repeated, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "Young man, in the later history, did the Xuanyuan, Shennong, Chiyou and other tribes merge? Become a unified ethnic group?"

I have to say that the Yellow Emperor is still very discerning, able to jump out of the pattern, and think about it before starting.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "This ancient oriental land will be unified, and within tens of thousands of territories, it will be ruled by China."

"Thousands of territories?"

The emperor wondered, "After continuous development of the vast land, have they all merged into one ethnic group?"

Lin Feng replied, "Beyond the vast ocean in the east, the land in the north, the islands in the south, and the mountains in the west are all lands managed by our descendants of Chinese descendants. The people living in them have been integrated from generation to generation..."

This great contribution naturally goes to Qin Shihuang first.

The Yellow Emperor asked again, "Why are countless people called Li Min? Is it really related to the Jiuli tribe?"

Originally, Lin Feng said that he mentioned the concept of "descendants of Yan and Huang".

people.

It is also a descendant of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

But he was also called "Li Min", which made the Yellow Emperor very excited. Could it be that the Jiuli tribe revived later, and after Xuanyuan's death, they rose again and became the emperor of this vast world again?
Lin Feng explained:
"Chi You was defeated, and the Jiuli tribe fell apart, but there are a lot of people. They still believe in the leader Chi You, and they will still sacrifice to Chi You and worship their ancestors every solar term."

"Because of the hostile relationship, the tribes in the Central Plains claim to be superior to others, call themselves nobles, and degrade the Jiuli people as Limin."

"In this way, the contradiction is even more irreconcilable."

"So Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, after you and Shennong died, the world was once again in chaos, which lasted for countless years."

……

Is there any record of those chaotic years in history?
not at all.

But Lin Feng has been there, because at that time he had a conversation with the "Sun Shooting Hero" and the great god Houyi.

The Houyi era was the years after Yanhuang's death.

The tribe at that time was a basin of loose sand, without civilization and order, and was trampled and trampled by ferocious beasts in the sky.

The so-called aristocrats are extremely weak. In front of countless terrifying wild beasts, under the stormy and thunderous world, they have no dignity, no status, and it is difficult to survive.

The so-called civilians are still struggling to survive at the bottom.

Both sides suffered losses, there was no winner, and they fell into the abyss of darkness together.

If the three clans of Huang Di, Yan Di and Chi You united, they could have opened up an extremely powerful and prosperous era.

What about the ending?
But it was a mess, and the world returned to darkness.

Later, it was known that Yao, Shunyu and other great sages were born, and the light illuminated the sky of the ancient land of China once again.

The progress of civilization in this land has been delayed for hundreds of years, hundreds of years!

Why the Yellow Emperor era.

Became a myth?
It was this period of chaos that led to the loss of history, and everything became tattered and could not be spliced.

Lin Feng's words resonated enormously in modern society.

Because of this point of view, it is really appalling.

Every paragraph will continue to impact the minds of the audience, leaving everyone dumbfounded and feeling hard to add.

"The history of the ancestors has become a myth. It turned out that there was a chaotic period that separated the ancient and the modern."

"At one end of the inheritance of various civilizations, it is too difficult for people to trace back later."

"Yeah, especially thousands of years ago, in that era of low productivity, there was really nothing that could last for a long time."

"It's a pity. At that time, the iron-making technology of the Jiuli people was already very good. It was defeated."

"You can't blame the Yellow Emperor. From his point of view, the survival of the tribes in the Central Plains must be guaranteed. For the sake of resources, they must continue to conquer and make all the tribes tremble. Only then can the situation be stable."

"Huang Di was right, and Chi You was right, it's just a pity."

"I think if the Yellow Emperor could think of what happened later, he wouldn't have killed Chi You."

"I have a question, can Chi You, the military god, the leader of the Jiuli tribe who is known as the master of war, submit to you?"

"With the appearance of the Yellow Emperor and Shennong Yandi, it may be feasible!"

On the modern Internet, there are heated discussions about Lin Feng's point of view, and there are noisy voices in every household.

Most people are imagining.

If Chiyou survived and the three major clans united, in the early days of ancient times, an unimaginably powerful "tribal age" would rise!
What ancient egyptian pyramids.

What is the hanging garden of ancient Babylon.

What South American Mayan civilization.

What ancient Indian civilization.

In the rise of our oriental ancient glorious civilization, it will definitely be eclipsed and lose its color.

"The union of the three major clans, don't you think anything will be born?"

"The most advanced ironmaking technology, there is no doubt about it."

"With the improvement of smelting technology, various new technologies will definitely usher in an explosive period."

"The gathering of a large number of tribes will definitely give birth to a vast and prosperous city-state, and the ruins will definitely not lose to the Yin Ruins."

"Hey, maybe thousands of years ago, a revived and prosperous city could appear."

"All kinds of wise men wake up, and a large number of civilizations will be born. Maybe we can see the classics of that era today."

……

Thousands of years ago, in the mountains and forests, the bonfire was burning. Staring at the flames, the expression of the Yellow Emperor became more and more dignified.

he is asking himself.

In self-soul torture.

Was Xuanyuan I really wrong?
"Young man, after today's conversation, I will do what you wish, and I, Xuanyuan, will do my best to scare Chi You."

Huang Di got up and left.

He summoned Fenghou, Guiyuqu, Changxiang and other ministers to arrange the final battle that will determine the fate of the tribe.

Lin Feng looked into the distance, he was going to take a trip to the area where the Jiuli people lived.

To talk to Chi You.

Get to know this ancient military god who has a bad reputation in history.
