Introduction to barbarians

Shan Hai Jing, the earliest existing geographical work, shows that the one-point square structure came into being more than two thousand years ago. In this book, "The World" is divided into five parts centering on the Central Plains. In Historical Records of Xia Benji, several equidistant grades are carefully depicted, which are centered on the "country of the son of heaven" in the Central Plains, and then extend to the southeast, 300 miles and 200 miles respectively. Starting from this concept, all previous regimes were based on the Han culture in the Central Plains and called the surrounding areas "barbarians". The orthodox geographical identity of China's ancient dynasties began in Xia Dynasty, and the credit goes to Yu, who leveled the land and distinguished Kyushu. In ancient times, "barbarians" generally referred to ethnic minorities other than those in the Central Plains of China.

In the time of the Gao Xin family, an old woman lived in the palace. She had been suffering from ear diseases for some time. The doctor picked out a hard-shelled worm as big as a cocoon for her. After the old woman left, the doctor put it in a ladle and covered it with a plate. Soon, the hard shell worm became a five-color dog, so the doctor named it "Tiger Pan" and raised it.

At that time, the Wu Rong tribe was very powerful and invaded the border many times. The king sent generals to crusade, but they couldn't win. So he recruited people from all over the country. If someone can get the head of General Wu Rong, he will give 1000 kilograms to 10000 cities and give him the king's little daughter. Later, Tiger Pan caught a head and took it to the door of the palace. The king looked at it carefully. It was the head of General Wu Rong. The king asked his ministers, "How to deal with this matter?" Ministers all said, "Tiger Pan is an animal, so he can't be an official or marry him. Although there are merits, don't reward it. " The king's little daughter heard about it and told the king, "Your Majesty has promised me to the whole world. Now Pan Hu has come with his head in his mouth to save the country from evil. This is an angel. It has been such a success. Is it the wisdom and strength of dogs? People who claim to be kings value commitment, while those who dominate value credit. You can't break the public oath in front of the world because of my thin body. This is a national disaster. " The king was afraid, so he listened to her and asked his youngest daughter to follow Tiger Pan.

Pan Hu took the king's daughter to Nanshan, where there were lush vegetation and no one was missing. So the king's daughter took off her luxurious official dress and combed it into a slave's bun; Put on clothes that are convenient for work, follow Tiger Pan to climb the mountain into the deep valley, and finally settle down in the cave. The king was very sad and missed her all the time, so he sent someone to look for her, but it was always windy and rainy, and the mountains shook and the clouds darkened, so no one who went could arrive. About three years later, the king's daughter gave birth to six boys and six girls. After Tiger Pan's death, six pairs of children married each other and became husband and wife. They are woven with bark and dyed with the color of grass seeds. They like to wear five-color clothes like Tiger Pan's fur, and all the clothes they cut have tails.

Later, their mother went back and told the king all this. The king sent messengers to meet the men and women. It didn't rain this time. These people wear colorful clothes, speak vaguely and always squat when eating and drinking. They like Shan Ye and hate the city. The king obeyed their wishes and gave them the famous mountain Ozawa, calling them "barbarians".

This kind of people, called barbarians, look dull on the outside, but they are actually very smart and alert. They are content with local customs and attach importance to old moral habits. Because they were endowed with special temperament by heaven, the king treated them with different laws: whether they are farming or doing business, they don't need to submit silk coupons and Jeff or pay taxes when entering or leaving the pass; All princes who own cities are given seals and ribbons; Their hats are made of otter skin, which means they look for food in the river like otters. Today, the barbarians in Liangzhou, Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, Wuling, Changsha and Lujiang counties are all like this. They mixed rice with fish, knocked on the wooden trough and shouted, offering sacrifices to Tiger Pan in this way. This custom has been passed down to this day. It's Tiger Pan's son. "

Original: Up to now

Gao Xin's family, an old woman living in the palace, suffered from ear disease for a long time, and the worm at the top was as big as a cocoon. When the woman went, she put a hedge behind her and covered it with a plate. Oedipus became a dog. Its words are rich and colorful. Because of the name Pan Hu, hence the name livestock. When Wu Rong was strong, he invaded the border several times and sent his generals to conquer it, but he could not win. That is to raise the most capable general Wu Rong in the world and give gold to thousands of families and girls. After Tiger Pan won a title, he would build a king's throne. The king was diagnosed, namely Wu Rong. What can we do? All the ministers said, "Tiger Pan is an animal. He can't be an official or a wife. Although there are merits, there is nothing to do. " When the girl heard this, she said to the king, "Your Majesty has promised to own this world with me. Pan Hu came here with the title of "killing pests for the country", which is due to fate, so it is not the cleverness of dogs. The King of Qi added, "A scholar is faithful and can't be a delicate woman, but she bears the responsibility of the world and is also a disaster for the country." The king obeyed in fear. The girl is from Pan Hu and Pan Hu, and the girl is on the Nanshan Mountain, with lush vegetation and no one. So the woman took off her clothes, put on her own clothes, and went up the mountain and into the valley with Tiger Pan until she stopped at the stone house. The king mourned it and sent someone to find it. The weather is stormy, the mountains are shaking and the clouds are gathering, so I can't go. After three years of correction, she gave birth to six men and six women. After Tiger Pan's death, she became a spouse because of husband and wife. Weave veneer and dye it with grass. Good five-color clothes, cut a tail shape, stepmother returned, the king said, the king sent envoys to meet men and women, and the days were no longer the same. Clothing, speech, food, mountains and evil cities. The king obeyed his will, gave him a famous mountain, Guangze, and called it barbarian. Obsessed with appearance and obsessed with inner barbarism, they attach importance to the old, because they are treated differently, so they are treated unusually by law. Tian Zuo, Jia Fan, has nothing to do with burial, biography and taxation. There is a city, and the monarch gives it a seal. Crown otter skin and take it swimming in the water. Today, Han Liang, Bashu, Wuling, Changsha, Lujiang and other counties belong to Yi. It is a custom to offer sacrifices to Pan Hu with Nan, miscellaneous fish and the numbers in the percussion groove. The deceased called it "red moustache, horizontal skirt, descendants of Tiger Pan. "looking for the gods

Nanman

The appellation of Nan Man was first recorded in Zhou Li. Yi Rong, China, was a citizen of five parties, which was both sexual and unchangeable. In the east, there are tattoos of foreigners, and there are people who don't eat with fire. In the south, it looks good, and some people don't eat with fire. The west is called Rong, standing in clothes, and some people don't eat. There are clothes and feathers caves in the north, and there are people who don't eat grains. Refers to the nation with patterns on its forehead in the south, that is, Na Man. I like lettuce, salad and vinegar.

In ancient times, the word "Nanman" generally referred to the area south of the Yangtze River Basin. With the continuous expansion and influence of the politics, economy and culture of the Central Plains, and the continuous integration of the unified political pattern of the Central Plains with the politics, economy and culture of local areas, the geographical area of "Southern Manchuria" has actually covered the whole of Southeast Asia. South of the Yangtze River in China is no longer a barbarian, but a barbarian is a curse.

The ethnic composition of Nanman is relatively complex, which can be roughly divided into three major ethnic groups: Baiyue, Baipu and Bashu. Baiyue nationality is distributed in the vast area south of the Yangtze River, Baipu nationality is distributed in Hunan and Guizhou today, and Bashu nationality is distributed in Sichuan and Chongqing today. In Shang Dynasty, there were: Yong, Pu, Shu, Kuai, Wei and Yue.

The pre-Qin period was called Nanman, Jingyue, Baiyue, Min, Yong, Baipu, Ba, Shu, Hui, Youmiao, Sanmiao, Heyi and Naked Country.
