When tscritgt Ajuan was looking at everyone suspiciously, an old voice sounded inside, and Jin Zhu captured it for a long time, but he didn't understand a word.Immediately afterwards, an old woman dressed as a foreigner came out of the room, her hair split in half in the middle, and her head hung down at the ears with two brooms, which was somewhat similar to the man's hairstyle.In addition, the old woman was also wearing a black robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves on her left side, and a pair of black pants on the lower body, with fat legs and tied up.This outfit is somewhat similar to the Khitans or Mongols that Jin Zhu had seen in the atlas in the previous life, and at the same time, it is also a bit similar to the Jurchen people.However, Jin Zhu is more inclined to the Khitans, because she did some homework before she came, went to the exhibition hall of the Liao Dynasty, and found from the unearthed murals that the Khitan women were almost like this.Not only Jinzhu, Xie Jinhua and a few people saw this old woman's eyes lit up, and when they were about to say hello, Ajuan spoke to Jinzhu, "I'm sorry, everyone in the family has gone to the field to do things, only me and grandma are at home, let's go into the house and rest for a while." ”Since the people have brought them, she can't turn them away.Jin Zhu stepped forward, was about to raise his feet to enter the door, at a glance saw a wolf head carved on both sides of the door, into the house, the ground in the house is inlaid with bricks, but inlaid with the kind of big green bricks in the past, from the degree of wear and tear of the green bricks, this house should have been built for many years.The first thing that catches everyone's eye is the two paintings hanging on both sides of the hall, the men in the paintings are all combed with hair, wearing long robes, left side, round neck, narrow sleeves, belt around the waist, and trousers under the body, trousers tucked into boots, or riding horses or holding bows and arrows, and there are ancient carriages in the paintings; The women in the painting are dressed very similarly to Ajuan and the old grandmother, but the quality of the costumes is obviously several grades higher."
Come, have some tea."
Ajuan saw that everyone's eyes were staring at the paintings on the wall, and beckoned everyone to sit down.Several people had to withdraw their eyes from the painting on the wall and sit on the table of the Eight Immortals, at this time, Jin Zhu's eyes were attracted by the tea set on the table.This is a very simple set of bean green teacups, the tire quality is not delicate at all, and even a little rough, without any carved patterns, and the shape is very simple, that is, a straight up and straight down cylindrical shape, but it is similar to the teacup used by Jin Zhu last time when he ate kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto, Japan, but the tire quality is obviously different, and it should be fired by themselves.Because she was a little thirsty, Jin Zhu made an exception and drank the tea dry, and when she was playing with the teacup, she suddenly saw two words at the bottom of the cup, which were a little similar to Chinese characters, but they were not Chinese characters, and the strokes were also horizontal and vertical hooks, which were indeed very similar to the Khitan characters she had seen in her previous life, and also very similar to the Khitan characters she saw in the Liao Dynasty exhibition hall.She glanced at the bottom of the cup at Kang Xin beside her, a glimmer of light flashed in Kang Xin's eyes, and she motioned to Zou Heng, Xie Jinhua and others to take a look, and this discovery quickly made everyone excited.Because they all studied history, although they had not studied Khitan script, they had seen the unearthed Khitan script in the exhibition hall of the Liao Dynasty, and knew that Khitan script was similar to Chinese characters, and it was very different from Manchu and Mongolian.But the problem is that you can't conclude that this is a Khitan script just based on two words, so Jin Zhu and a few people talked to Ajuan while drinking tea."
Our school is recently conducting an intangible cultural heritage survey, and several of our tasks are to come to your province to collect the language, writing, clothing, architecture, customs and other characteristics of some ethnic minorities in remote mountainous areas, and form words and photos for easy preservation."
Xie Jinhua dispelled Ajuan's doubts and found a relatively lofty reason."
Yes, we have been to many places here, and found that your people generally only have their own language and do not have their own writing, but I didn't expect to see your writing here today, can you tell us what kind of writing this is" Jin Zhu asked."
I don't know about this, I've just been married for a few years, by the way, you all sit down, I'll go prepare Chinese food for you."
After Ajuan finished speaking, she pushed Ah Hua over to accompany the guest, and handed over the child in her hand to Ah Hua, and said a few words to the old grandmother, and the old woman followed her out to cook.Seeing that there were no of them in the hall, Jin Zhu took out his mobile phone, first took a picture of the cup, then the text at the bottom of the cup, then the painting on the wall, the net bottle on the case slip, and the wolf's head on the door.As soon as a few people put away their mobile phones, three people walked in outside the gate, led by an old man in his sixties, followed by a man in his forties and a young man in his twenties.Seeing that there were many strangers in the family, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three of them, and Xie Jinhua stepped forward a few steps to explain his identity and intention again.Then, Xie Jinhua took out the IAD and showed the three of them the photos and texts he had taken these days, the purpose of which was naturally to get their help."
This is my junior brother, he is a Mongolian, the purpose of this time is to visit the descendants of the Mongols left here in the Yuan Dynasty, we went to the Mongolian township in Yuxi, but he thinks, in comparison, your village seems to be more authentic, your hairstyle and clothes are more similar to their ancestors, but unfortunately the language and writing are too different."
Xie Jinhua didn't dare to ask them directly if they were Khitans, but turned a corner."
We are not Mongols, we are that people."
The old man said.Seeing that the old man was speaking Chinese, Jin Zhu was a little happy, Huang Kaixian couldn't hold his breath, "That person, then your ancestors also came from the north, this hairstyle is almost the same as our Mongolian ancestors, may I ask you are Khitan or Jurchen descendants" "What are you doing with so many questions" The old man was a little unhappy.The young man listened to the two elders and said a few words of their indigenous words, and then smiled at Huang Kai and Xie Jinhua, "Does this have anything to do with it?"
"Of course there is, there are many countries that have died in history, but there are not many people who have died, Xixia is counted as one, there will be no party members after Xixia, Liao is counted as one, there will be no Khitans after Xiliao is destroyed, and there is also Xianbei... ”"Nonsense, we are the descendants of the Khitans."
The young man argued urgently.He went out to work, and knew that society had long been deformed, neither the world of the Mongols nor the world of the Jurchens, and that there was no war in the current society, so there was no need to hide in this mountain depression and not ask about the world.But the problem is that the older generation of people are very stubborn, they have always adhered to the ancestral teachings, and they don't care about the outside world, they will only lead their clansmen to stick to this small land and multiply, and they don't know what has changed outside."
Do you have anything to prove that you are descendants of the Khitans," Xie Jinhua slightly concealed the excitement in his heart.He thought he would have to take some time to convince the two elders, but he didn't expect the young man to surprise him.The young man actually regretted it a little after he finished speaking, but what he regretted was not that he told Xie Jinhua about it, but that he regretted that he had violated the ancestral teachings.But then again, it's not the first time he's violated the ancestral teachings, it's against the ancestral teachings to secretly run out to work when he goes out to buy necessities, and marrying a foreign woman is also against the ancestral teachings, so there aren't many of them.However, when he heard that Xie Jinhua asked for evidence, he did not agree easily, but discussed it with the two elders, only to see that the more the three of them talked, the more excited they became, and the anger on the faces of the two elders became more and more, obviously there was an argument.Fortunately, at this time, Ajuan came out with the dishes and beckoned everyone to sit down, Xie Jinhua looked at the dishes brought out by Ajuan, and suddenly remembered the liquor in his car.On this trip, he found a trick, the local ethnic minorities like to drink, every time they tell him that in ancient times, they always served the wine bowl first, of course, they generally drank home-brewed rice wine or distilled liquor.After one or two times, Xie Jinhua learned to be smart, every time he stayed at someone else's house, in addition to leaving a little money for the other party, he would generally bring a few bottles of liquor, the degree of liquor was high, it was easy to get drunk, and it was easier to open the conversation when drunk.After sending Huang Kai and Kong Ling out to carry wine, Xie Jinhua led Jin Zhu to sit down.Drinking has always been a men's business, Jin Zhu simply ate something and walked out of the hall and chatted with Ajuan, who was sitting at the kitchen door feeding the children.From Ajuan's mouth, they knew that her husband's surname was Ye, her husband's family was the head of the Ye family, and her grandfather was the patriarch and the gentleman in the school.There are thousands of families living in the whole village, and they basically live a self-sufficient life, they have their own salt mines, their own kilns, their own schools, their own spinning and weaving, and a market every five days, and they can exchange their surplus things for what they need.Ajuan only knows so much, as for where their ancestors came from, what was the purpose of hiding here in the first place, and which ethnic group their language and writing belonged to, etc., Ajuan didn't know anything.Jinzhu has not gained much, but Xie Jinhua has made good progress, mainly because Xie Jinhua first popularized the historical knowledge of nearly a thousand years to them, and the dynasty has changed several times, and now there is no war, no ethnic discrimination, and the country is now a multi-ethnic united and fraternal family.In order to add credibility, Xie Jinhua specially called up the photos he took along the way from the IAD.In fact, they have also heard what Xie Jinhua said from those who went out, but it was not as detailed and thorough as Xie Jinhua's.For this reason, Xie Jinhua made a suggestion, wanting to take a few old people in the village to the city to see how much the outside world has changed.Xiao Ye listened to it and readily agreed, he had always wanted to reform the so-called ancestral training, but the problem was that the power of the patriarch had not yet been handed over to him, so he didn't speak strongly at all.That night they stayed at Ajuan's house, and the next morning, Xie Jinhua and Kong Ling accompanied several old people in the village out of the village and went straight to Dali.After visiting the ancient city of Dali and going to the new city, in order to let a few old people gain knowledge, Xie Jinhua also fought hard, and took the initiative to take them to Kunming by plane with Huang Kai, and then took the train back.After such a delay, another week passed.However, this week was not in vain, after returning from Kunming, Jin Zhu and his party followed a few old men back to the village, this time, they led Jin Zhu and his party to visit their ancestral halls, schools, salt mines, copper mines, kiln factories, porcelain factories, and even cemeteries.Through this series of visits, they can basically determine that these people are indeed the descendants of the Khitans, from their genealogy can know that after the Western Liao was destroyed by the Mongols, some people went north, some people went south, they were escorted to Yunnan by the Mongols, the men were the lowest soldiers, the women were slaves, after the destruction of Dali, they stayed when the Mongols withdrew.At that time, because they hated the Mongols, they had been preparing to flee, and sent people to find such a secret place, there were salt mines and copper mines, so they took advantage of the Ming army to attack Yunnan and secretly ran away, and settled here incognito.This is hundreds of years.In the first few decades, they sealed the mountain pass with explosives, and all the clansmen were not allowed to go out.Later, because an earthquake shook the mountain pass open, they sent a few people out to find out the news, only to learn that the Yuan Dynasty had fallen, and they became the people of the Ming Dynasty.Since then, they have not sealed the mountain pass again, on the contrary, they will send a few people out of the mountain every once in a while, and use the money from their mines to go out to buy some necessities, and by the way, to inquire about the way of the world today.Since most of the clansmen have kept the ancestral teachings and have never been out of the mountains in their lives, they really don't know the changes outside.Even if many of them have read and can read, they have limited knowledge from books, first of all, their teaching materials are not in line with the outside world, the school is divided into male and female, and the boys use bilingual teaching, Chinese and Khitan, that is, the language they speak, and the girls only learn that language.Secondly, their students never participate in the outside high school entrance examination, and generally boys start to work in the field when they are fifteen years old, and girls generally study until they are ten years old, and can only recognize some simple words and some basic arithmetic.Speaking of which, the living pattern of this village is really similar to that of the early Tianjiazhai, where there are thousands of families, and it is also located in a mountain depression surrounded by mountains, and they have lived a self-sufficient and isolated life for hundreds of years, but since it was discovered and famous, their lives have changed dramatically.Jin Zhu had a hunch that if they went back and published their findings, the place would not be as peaceful as it used to be.To be continued.2907201:
