Chapter 46 Miao Nationality
People in the world will have some worship mentality more or less!
This comes from the depths of our blood and soul, because of the fear of the unknown, or the yearning for the totem.

The students know fans who are crazy about star chasing, and they have heard of scientists who forget to eat and sleep, but it is the first time they have seen someone like Lu Tu who is obsessed with Miao culture and even does not hesitate to "take root" in the Miao area!

Of course, this will not make them worship Lu Tu, but their curiosity is getting stronger.

"There are cultures such as totem belief, golden silkworm Gu, witchcraft, corpse exorcism in Xiangxi, Miao medicine, Miao medicine, etc., which are very mysterious, right? It just so happened that this culture deeply attracted me, and I kept wanting to go to the Exploration and research. The result..." At this point, Lu Tu held back and kept silent.

Chen Mingzhe answered first: "Fake! It must be all fake!"

"Yeah, where are these things now?"

"Oh, don't be a fool, Director Lu, tell me quickly!"

Seeing the urging of the students, Lu Tu smiled and said, "It's not fake, but it's not that magical! In fact, the so-called magic and witchcraft all use special formulas to create medicines and props to produce special effects. The legendary internal force, spiritual force and so on. Don’t ask me how I know it. If you are interested in this aspect, you can discuss it with Xiaoyao later. He is an authentic Miao man. Know more."

Ma Yaozhong put his hands on his chest and nodded to everyone with a blank expression.

Seeing that the students' attention was completely attracted, Lu Tu stopped going around in circles and entered the topic and said: "It was also during this process that I gradually began to understand the Miao culture. Next, I will start from bitter, spicy, sour, and sweet. In four aspects, I would like to share with you my experience.”

He looked around with a serious expression, "Bitter! Everyone knows that the Miao people are a nation suffering a lot! It can be traced back to the Yanhuang era, five to six thousand years ago. It has a long history! They were the first to master rice farming and Spinning and dyeing technology have long lived in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.”

"Chi You led the Jiuli tribe to defeat the Yandi tribe's invasion in the Dongting Lake area, and led his troops to go north to Hebei, and fought against the Yanhuang Alliance. Unfortunately, he was defeated and died. After Chi You's death, the world was in chaos, and the Yellow Emperor drew a portrait of Chi You to deter him. The world, the world has settled down. After the defeat of Chi You's Jiuli Group, most of them migrated southward, and the migration history of the Miao people began from then on."

Xie Yumeng raised her hand and retorted: "Director Lu, what you said is wrong, right? It's completely different from what I know! We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. You can't just say good things about Miao people just because you like Miao girls. !"

The students clamored and found it difficult to understand.

Just as Lu Tu was about to explain, Professor Liu interrupted and said, "I've heard about this. The Miao people in Guizhou have always had a myth about Chiyou. It is said that in ancient times, the Miao people lived on the banks of the Yangtze River. There were 81 villages in total. Their The leader was Chi You, and the people got rid of the "loose-eared witch" who endangered the Miao people, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. Later, the three witches of the witch invited Lord Chilong and Lord Huanglong to take revenge. Emperor Yan, Huangdi, and Chiyou led the Miao people to fight bravely, and defeated Chilong and Huanglong many times. Chilong and Huanglong joined forces with Lei Laowu, that is, Leigong, flooded the Miao soldiers, captured and killed Chiyou, and burned 81 Village, the remaining Miao people were forced to leave their hometowns. What Xiao Lu just said is folklore, and the historical knowledge you have learned is two different things, so don’t pay too much attention to it, just listen to it.”

Lu Tu nodded in agreement, and continued to explain: "Everyone knows the word Limin, right? The Limin refers to the Miao people of the Jiuli tribe. At that time, their social status was comparable to that of slaves! In the Sanmiao era, Because the Miao people refused to accept the rule of the Central Plains, Dayu launched a brutal war against the "Three Miao". Since then, the books in the Central Plains no longer have the written records of the "Three Miao", but use words such as "Jingman" and "Nanman" as It refers to mixing the Miao people with other ethnic names. This situation lasted for three to four thousand years, and the Miao people had to migrate on a large scale. There are as many as five times recorded in the historical records. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the Miao people were become a single ethnic name."

Among the lofty mountains, the lights of the Miao Village can be seen faintly.With high beams on, the minibus slowly walked on the winding mountain road.

The students all fell silent, and only the voice of Lu Lu's explanation was left in the car, accompanied by the slight roar of the engine, and a needle could be heard.

"During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were even seven or eight thousand shi chieftain landlords in the Miao area, and the miserable life of the Miao people reached its peak! I would like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that none of those chieftain landlords were Miao people! And in order to prevent the Miao people in the Laer Mountain area from rebelling, the imperial court also specially built the Great Wall in the South, and the Zhengan City at that time was a large barracks!"

"After the founding of New China, the fate of the Miao people has been fundamentally changed! The 56 ethnic groups belong to one family, no matter the Han or the Miao, everyone is their own people and compatriots! Not long ago, the country officially confirmed that Chi You and Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are called the Three Patriarchs of China together! It can be said that the five to six thousand years of misery of the Miao people has come to an end! From then on, they will be rewarded with all their hardships!"

The students applauded desperately!Some people's eyes were red, and some people just felt their blood boil!

After entering the new society, they are actually more than just Miao people!How many unfair and unequal things in the old society have all undergone fundamental changes? !
This is our country!Great motherland!Great Chinese nation!
Professor Liu never thought that he would be able to take his classmates to receive such a patriotic education during the trip!
At this moment, his evaluation of Lu Tu in his heart couldn't help but be a little higher!

After Lu Tu and other students calmed down, he continued: "After talking about bitterness, let's talk about spicy food. Miao people love spicy food, and they usually eat spicy food! Not only in terms of diet, but also in terms of personality, Miao people are also very special. 'Spicy'! Because they have been oppressed too much in the past, they are like hot peppers in their daily lives, and they burn at one point!"

Some students couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Huai whispered to Chen Mingzhe: "No wonder, I always think they look at people so fiercely."

Chen Mingzhe said with a smile: "Why don't I feel this way? Maybe you are too timid!"

Lu Tu glanced at them and smiled slightly, "The first time I came to Fenghuang was in 2003. At that time, the tourism industry here was not yet developed, and walking on the street was full of quaint tastes. With the continuous development of the ancient city of Fenghuang into a tourist attraction, some local Miao people do not like to deal with outsiders. There have been several conflicts, and they even did not hesitate to fight to hinder this process. I have to say that this is the character of the Miao people. The hottest side."

"Huh? Really?"

"Wow! Terrible!"

"I suddenly feel that this place is so unsafe!"

The students were amazed!
Lu Tu waved his hand and explained: "Don't worry, everyone, what I said was in the past! Now, the Miao people have realized that the development of the local tourism industry is helpful to improve their living standards! So, as long as you have a reason , even if they yell at the Miao people, they will just turn around and leave without any friction with you. Unless we are wronged, then the result will be another story!"

Jiang Huai felt relieved when he heard the words, glanced at Chen Mingzhe, and quickly lowered his head again.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yumeng couldn't help rolling her eyes, and then turned her head to listen to Lu Tu's explanation.

"Sour, everyone knows the meaning of this word, right? It can refer to sour food, and it can also describe shabby or bitter. Miao people like to eat sour things, such as sauerkraut, sour bamboo shoots, sour beans, sour peppers, sour fish, sour Vinegar and so on. Regarding this point, everyone has already experienced it when tasting Miao cuisine. And their character is also full of sourness. This sourness refers to shabby and bitter! Miao people are very poor, unless They will dress up to go out on grand festivals, and in normal times, their clothes are more shabby."

Having said that, he asked a question, "Just now, everyone heard the authentic Miao song in the show, how did you feel?"

"Nice!"

"It's okay, I don't remember!"

"No impression!"

Lu Tu nodded and said: "I have listened to Miao songs many times, even though I don't understand them, if I have to describe them in one word, that would be bitterness!" He looked at Ma Yaozhong again, "Xiao Yao , sing a Miao song for everyone!"

Mayaozhong was not humble either. He cleared his throat and sang in Miao dialect: "Hey! In the ancient world, the heaven and the earth are in chaos! The mountains are rolling and the abyss is dark! The vast wasteland, listen to Pangu's lament!"

Everyone couldn't understand what the lyrics were singing, but they could only feel a desolate breath from the rhythm and tone.

When he finished singing, the students couldn't help applauding.

Lu Tu went on to say: "To be honest, I've never heard any other songs like them, and they just cry out in mourning, as if they want to integrate all the bitter tears and sorrows into the singing tune! And this, It is the bitterness brought about by the suffering history of the Miao people!"

The students couldn't help but nodded. Hearing what he said, they felt that it was really the case.

Lu Tu smiled, "Finally, let's talk about the sweetness of the Miao people! I don't know what others are like, but if you want me to say it, my personal experience is that the Miao people may be the most romantic nation in the world! I remember 05 In 1000, when we were the poorest, my wife was reluctant to eat and wear, but she was willing to spend more than [-] yuan to buy me a brand-name suit!"

The eyes of Xie Yumeng and Jiang Huai lit up.

"You must have thought that I would be happy at the time, right? Wrong, I was almost mad at the time! Why? Because I have no money! You prodigal bitch! You know your family is poor, but you still have to spend so much money, go to Buy me a damn suit! Do you know what housekeeping is? This was my real thought at the time." Lu Tu made a helpless expression.

"Then why did she buy you clothes?" Xie Yumeng asked puzzled.

Lu Tu replied: "Because some of our classmates organized a class reunion and called me to attend! Just for such a trivial matter, do you think it is worth it for her to do this?"

"It's not worth it!" a classmate said loudly.

"I think it's a bit of a disregard for the sake of face, it's really not worth it!"

Xie Yumeng bit her lip and thought for a while, then said: "I think it's worth it! A man represents a woman's face. If you lose money, you can earn it again. If you lose face, you can never get it back!"

Lu Tu nodded, then shook his head and said, "You are all right! But do you know what my wife told me? She said, I don't want you to be wronged outside, not at all!"

He showed a bright smile, his eyes flushed, "We all make choices more or less out of the question of whether it's worth it or not, for the sake of face."

"But the Miao people don't! They only express their inner thoughts with practical actions - love is love! There are no excuses!"

"Since then, I really love her, and I never said a single word of complaint to her because of spending money!"

"This is the sweetness of the Miao people, their unique romance! Only those who truly understand feelings can truly win her heart!"

"That's all for my explanation, thank you everyone!"

The students applauded desperately, whistles and cheers sounded, and the car was extremely lively!

"Why do I think listening to Director Lu's explanation is even more exciting than watching the party?"

"Fuck, Director Lu's eloquence is really awesome!"

"Indeed! I'm so moved that I want to cry now!"

Chen Mingzhe rarely spoke, as if he was lost in confusion.

Jiang Huai and Xie Yumeng looked at each other, and then both turned their heads, neither of them had the intention of speaking.

The corner where the three of them were was unexpectedly silent. Compared with the hot scene in the carriage, it seemed so out of place.

Professor Liu secretly sighed in his heart.

He vaguely guessed some of Lu Tu's intentions, but at this time, there was no need to do sinner's things.After all, people are also forced by life. After working so hard to lead the group for two days, they can't have to pay for the head fee, right?
He occasionally heard of the "sense" inside the tour guide.Having been to Phoenix so many times, I have a clear understanding of the inside story of the tourism industry.

I just hope that these students will be able to do what they can when the time comes!Otherwise, with Lu Tu's eloquence, he might even help count the money if they are sold!
The minibus drove directly to the head of Nanhua Bridge, and Lu Tu and Mayaozhong sent the team to the entrance of the inn by the river, then said goodbye and left.

From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned a word about the task of entering the store with his classmates.

His sales preparation work has been completed, waiting for the brewing and fermentation tonight, and everything will be discussed tomorrow!
