Chapter 831

According to the records of the last generation, more than 30 of the 55 ethnic minorities occupied this area.

Even in today's Tang Dynasty, when the land of the six imperial edicts is calculated, in the continuous extension of the Cuan people with the development of history, in addition to the six imperial edicts, there is still a more group of people: Yi.

It's just that there is not so detailed distinction nowadays. In daily life, or in the situation of social life, whether it is the six imperial edicts classified by the Cuan nationality, or some other weak ethnic groups, are summarized in the Yi nationality, which is a huge ethnic group.

Just as every nation has its own totem, the ethnic group derived from the ancient Qiang people also believes in the existence of spirits in all things, and believes that there is a mysterious relationship between human beings and animals, even plants, and even blood relationship.

Lao She Long's name means the worship of the tiger. If we continue to let the fine Nu Lu and Sheng Luo Yan develop and develop, then the tiger will naturally become the totem of the mengshe imperial edict.

Langqiongzhao regarded the plant golden bamboo as its own totem, as its own ancestor god, or other strange species such as gourd as totem.

However, among all the totems, only the tiger represented by Lao shelong has thrived in the long history and become the real totem of Yi people after the appearance of Yi language.

The sacrificial rites and elders, known as Bimo, are the spiritual beliefs in people's hearts in the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau area, or places away from the Central Plains.

This is in addition to the imperial edict king, who has actual control over the land, the people and the economy, who has the most influence on the people.

Even when they ruled and ruled their own land, they still relied on sacrifice and elders to help them manage their own land in a specific and detailed way.

Therefore, sacrificial rites or elders enjoy the highest status in the hearts of the people in the area of Yunnan Guizhou Plateau, just as the great Confucians of the great Tang Dynasty and the five surnamed and seven Wangs enjoyed the same high reputation and status in the minds of the Chinese scholars and the common people.

The common people in Yunnan Guizhou Plateau still call the prosperous Tang Dynasty the Han state. In their hearts, the prosperous central plains, the developed civilization of Chang'an and Luoyang are as far away as dreams.

In the same way, the binding force on them is no longer so effective. Naturally, it gives sacrificial rites, elders and other magic arts to show their rights and reach the destiny, and gives them the destiny composed of personal willpower to ordinary people.

Witchcraft also plays an absolutely key role in it. Some parts of the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau are dry in winter and wet in summer. Offering sacrifices to heaven for rain and expelling ghosts and treating diseases have become the only way for the people to alleviate their pain and receive spiritual comfort.

In order to launch a civilized "war" in primitive society and carry out a real revolution like Tubo, the six imperial edicts were far more difficult than Tubo.

The existence of witchcraft, sacrifice, elders, gold magic tools, primary religion, and the historical accumulation engraved in the blood after being sung by scriptures can not be banned and eliminated in a very short period of time.

Langqiong, mengkai and shilangzhao did not meet the expectations of xinulu. They were sent to the mountains and forests together with the soldiers who died in the turmoil of Taihe city.

Three days later, the female sacrificial women with their hair reaching to the ground and naked, the elders in black robes painted with gold and colored faces, and the mysterious and gloomy wizard, with the whimpering of ox horns, performed a ceremony of blessing to the four imperial edict kings who entered the mountains full of thorns and prayed for the people's destiny.

Under the black helmets and iron armour flapping with banners and flags of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial edicts of xinulu, laoshelong and Yuexi stepped slowly into the solemn ceremony to pray for the safety of the people.

Li Hong stood far away, watching a group of people solemnly and solemnly perform a religious ceremony to gourd, golden bamboo, and other stuffed tiger and bear skins.

Looking at the topless priestess, she took out a rusty iron knife and cut her wrist, dripping dark red blood into the wine bowl on the table.

Looking at the elder with black robes and colorful faces, he recited the scriptures with reverence, and waved his golden crutches slowly in the air.

The mysterious wizard is just like a epileptic in the previous life. In a circle drawn by himself, he dances and dances to pray for gods such as God, Mountain God, water god, fire god, wood God and so on.

However, no matter which one of the three, or the people around these "God messengers", are dancing in a neat and uniform way with the rhythm of horns and drums.

It's like a Tubo in the white wall and golden tile Potala Palace, turning the Sutra chanting with one hand and chanting the blessing words, their feet are dancing with flexibility.

"Is it right or wrong to do so?" Li Hong felt a sense of sadness in his heart and murmured between Yang Sijian and Lin Shiling.He didn't feel ridiculous because of their reverence for nature. Instead, he saw in their devout, sacred and solemn rituals whether this culture, which was different from the Central Plains, would disappear completely in the dust of history or be banned by Han culture after many years.

After the arrival of the great unification, will the extinction and singleness of culture make the flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty disappear faster? Or can the Chinese nation really go to another peak under the establishment of the Great China circle?

The choice of history is in his hands. Every action of his will represent the disappearance of a kind of multi culture and the expansion of Chinese national culture. Is this really right?

"It's not difficult to seek common ground while reserving differences." Lin Shiling could understand Li Hong's mind very well. Looking at Li Hong, who looked gloomy, he said in a low voice: "Tubo is not without this kind of sacrifice, but it does not mean that the Chinese culture promoted by the old antiques has lost its function in Tubo."

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Sijian looked at Lin Shiling and asked.

He paid more attention to Lin Shiling's words than Li Hong. After all, after all, when the prince's highness left, he would begin to really manage the soil and water in this area. At this time, he would seize the opportunity to become a pedantic Confucian hammer if he did not consult Lin Shiling.

Lin took a look at the sacrificial ceremony that was still going on, and then looked at Li Hong's intention that he did not stop him. So he continued to say in a low voice: "there is no conflict or contradiction between the inheritance of culture and the entry of Central Plains culture. Dai Zhide strongly opposes the Tubo script, but records and praises their ancestral gods with our own words The Tubo people have nothing but gratitude. But in some rituals, Dai Zhide gave up the strategy of overthrowing the prince's highness and changed to pass on the rites and teach the virtues step by step. "

When he said this, Lin Shiling also looked at Li Hong in awe, because he accidentally poked out the matter of Dai Zhide's Yin worship of Yang.

But looking at Li Hong, there was no expression. After licking his lips, he continued: "the following officials have learned about Tubo and Liuzhao in the past two years. What they value most is the etiquette after the death of their relatives. Because they believe that there will be a soul after death. Of course, I also believe in the existence of soul

Lin Shiling looked at Li Hong in awe again. What's wrong with him today? What's wrong with him? After all, the prince never believes in the existence of soul.

"Go on." Li Hong looked at Lin Shiling, who was silent, and Yang Sijian, who was very interested in listening, and indicated that Lin Shiling would continue.

"Yes, your highness." Lin Shiling's little heart pounded for several times, and then went on to say: "they believe that the soul of a person after death can bring blessing to those who live, so they should worship more solemnly after death, and carry out more complex and solemn praying and lowering ceremony in the ceremony of tranquilizing and sending spirits. Even if they spend a lot of money, the whole family has to carry out debt raising, and these are those If you come across a little wealthy family, it will not be worse than today's show. "

"But how can we seek common ground while reserving differences? How can we integrate our rites and virtues, so that they can allow us to enter these foreign rituals from their traditional sacrifices? " The more Yang Sijian listened, the more puzzled he felt. After talking about the traditional sacrifice, you only talked about other people's traditional sacrifice.

What's more, it's so lively to hear you say, and the people of Tubo and Liuzhao are so devout. How can we integrate the Chinese culture into it?

"This is the strength of Dai Zhide's antiques. At first, he personally lobbied, and he often ran into obstacles everywhere. Later, I didn't know whether he was enlightened or what Quan Yi said to him. In short It's all gods that deserve respect... "

"Is it that you have used some Yin tricks to make them believe that we can use our written records and our etiquette to be compatible with their traditions, so as to get a real spiritual decline?" Li Hong pulled out a sneer from the corner of his mouth, and his heart suddenly became more cheerful.

The Chinese culture can accept the foreign culture, at the same time, it can integrate useful things. Naturally, these ignorant and backward nations, while accepting the advanced culture, must also be able to integrate a new set of traditional culture with the passage of time.

Just like the previous life, grand funeral is also considered as the best time to remember an ancestor. But in the change of the times, with the introduction of more and more concise funeral forms, the complex forms are reduced, and the cumbersome etiquette and so on are simplified.

Burials can be changed to cremation, even if there are so many different voices, has not it become a trend and become the mainstream consciousness of people?

However, it's better for the elders and ancestors before death than to express filial piety with grand funeral that the dead can't feel after death.
