Chapter 208 I Want to Come to Lijiang Once in My Life

He Huan is not timid, "Mu and He are the two major surnames in Lijiang. It is said that Mu is the surname of the official family, and He is the surname of the common people. The folk saying is that after the Mu Mansion has a Han surname, in order to reflect its authority and facilitate management , Let the people unify their surnames.

He is a wooden character with a slash and a mouth on it, which means that there is a basket on the head.Naxi women are very industrious, and they stand above their heads with a big basket on their backs.The mouth is to give you a mouthful of food.

That is, if you work hard for me, I will give you a bite of food.It is to treat the people as slaves of the Mufu.Many other ethnic groups, including those who migrated from the Han nationality, are required to have the surname He when they are under the jurisdiction of the Mufu.

So the surname and are not all Naxi.In order to unify the management, the people's surnames and this matter do exist.But this word "He" appeared earlier than "Mu" in Lijiang area.It is not that there is peace first and then wood. "

Everyone looked at him curiously, and sat up with the group leader, looking up at him.

"Before the emergence of Han surnames, the Naxi people had a father-son name system. For example, the ancestors of the Naxi chieftains, Azong Aliang, Aliang Ahu, Ahu Alie, Alie Ajia, and then the first Ajia A who was surnamed Mu have to.

Many ethnic minorities in Yunzhou have a father-son name system. Adding the names of their father and grandfather before their own names can clearly show blood relationship and tribe.In fact, this is somewhat similar to the name system in foreign countries!
For example, Russia has a long list of so-and-so. "

Everyone laughed.

"Which territory, which family and whose descendants are all reflected in the name. It is equivalent to a family tree. So the name is very long.

The Dali Nanzhao Kingdom we talked about yesterday is also a father-son naming system, such as the king of Nanzhao, Geluofeng, Fengjiayi, Yimouxun, three generations of grandparents.

Different from the continuous naming system of ethnic minorities in foreign countries and northern my country, the ethnic minorities in southwestern my country generally adopt the consecutive naming system in reverse.

There are not many names for the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. Generally, the last one or two characters of the father's name are used as the first or middle character of the son.Passed down from generation to generation, just like the idiom Solitaire.

People still don't usually call them so long, and it seems disrespectful to call their ancestors by their first names, so they usually only call the last one or two words, which is their own name.

This father-son joint naming system is a product of the transformation from matrilineal clan to patrilineal clan and the emergence of private ownership. This is done to pass on property to sons, and the name must also be passed on.

The concept of clan in our country is relatively strong.Now there are still fights over whose surname is for the child! "

A car of tourists laughed.

"In the environment of the patrilineal clan, girls are more free to choose names, such as flowers and grasses, some very cute and beautiful names, they use materials from anywhere, just like nicknames. Boys bear the responsibility of Guangzong Yaozu to maintain the family. .

As for ethnic minorities, because of their small number, frequent wars between tribes and lack of written records, this kind of oral genealogy has become a bond to maintain blood relatives and distinguish different races.

We can also trace their history and ancestors through these names.

In this way, when the two teams met, they talked about their full names, hey! It was a family 500 years ago!Shake hands, good brother!If you are pleasing to the eye, invite you to drink and eat meat, but if you are not pleasing to the eye, you should still be beaten! "

Everyone in the car laughed.

He Huan continued: "Later, Kublai Khan came to Yunzhou and included Yunzhou in the territory. The name is justified. What leaders and how many people do you have in this place? You need to register and report to the court, which is equivalent to our current account.

Then when the officials of the Yuan Dynasty were doing the household census, they discovered: Oh my God!too difficult!How come there is such a long-winded and awkward name!How much paper will it cost?Paper and ink are expensive! "

Everyone laughed.

"It's like when we read a foreign novel and see that name, ah! Headache! You can't even remember the name even if you know the story by heart!"

Everyone laughed again.

"Then the officials had an idea and named them, just like a novelist, naming the characters in it to be catchy.

Choosing a name is also very brain-intensive, and they are too lazy to choose so many names, and then the word "he" appeared on the heads of Lijiang tribal leaders in large numbers.

But just like the Chinese names we give to foreign stars, he may not even know it himself.Like Dikembe-Mutombo-Muporendo-Mukamba-Jean-Jacques-Wmutombo. "

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Uncle Mu!" A boy shouted excitedly.

"By the way, but you go ask Uncle Mu, who is Uncle Mu? Him: Huh?"

He Huan had a question mark on his face, and everyone laughed.

"Even if you ask him the last long name, he is still confused! Because we translated it! He is actually not like that! So we know what his name is, but he doesn't know what it is name."

The carload of people laughed.

"There are many names of our ethnic minorities, and they are also very awkward and long. The officials of the Yuan Dynasty gave the Lijiang chief the surname He. So at the beginning, He was not a commoner's surname.

This is also the earliest record of the appearance of the Lijiang area and the surname.Then in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang bestowed the Lijiang Chieftain Ajia Ademi with the surname..."

He Huan looked at the slow-moving mountains outside the window, and suddenly said, "Hey! Why do I feel that the car is driving a little slowly?"

The driver said: "In order to listen to you more!"

The tourists all laughed, and He Huan laughed too.

Master Wang also couldn't help laughing, it's quite interesting not to drive and be a tourist this time.

One of the great skills of tourist bus drivers is to cooperate with the tour guide's explanation.For example, the tour guide is laying the groundwork for shopping, and the driver shakes slower than the tricycle.The groundwork is done, the driver is faster than a rocket!

Of course, the driver was indeed attracted by his explanation. No tour guide has ever explained it in the car!And so much fun!Slow down before you know it.

Embarrassed, he said, "I'm a Naxi from Lijiang, and I don't know the origin of my surname! But my surname is Ye, can you tell me about it?"

"Okay!" He Huan said, "Dongba Scripture records that the ancestor of the Naxi nationality, Ge Laiqiu, had four sons, Shu, Ye, Mai, and He.

The Naxi tribe along the Jinsha River is the Hebu, and this He is the He of the He Miao.Therefore, it is also said that the surname given to them by the officials of the Yuan Dynasty should be the homonym of He, and the surname was the tribe.

The Dongba Scripture says: Meihe will not be separated, and will be moved to the riverside..."

Passing by the Blue Moon Valley, many tourists had to get off the bus.

After all, there are few people going to Maoniuping in the afternoon.

There were also a few individual travelers who decided to follow Xiao Bailong.

After passing by Yunshanping, He Huan finished talking about the origin of the Naxi people's surnames.The driver said happily: "I have to go back and brag with them!"

Everyone laughed.

A car of laughter swayed on the [-]th bend mountain road, and there were patches of hillside grass on the side of the road, and several goats and yaks were grazing leisurely on the side of the road.

"Wow!" Everyone looked at the scenery outside the window.

He Huan said: "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is close to the snow area, and the Naxi, Yi, and Tibetans live together, and many of them live by grazing. The Maoniuping we are going to is a large alpine pasture. There are more yaks there."

"Wow!"

"In the evening we eat yak hotpot at the Ouro Hotel!"

"Wow!" Everyone's saliva flowed out.

He laughed and said, "Do you want to eat yaks when you see them?"

He Huan said with a smile: "The little white dragon group is like this."

The people in the car laughed again, and a few individual travelers were very envious.

Arriving at the entrance of the Maoniuping cableway, everyone took the cableway up, and a stretch of alpine meadows spread out, with the Yulong Thirteen Peaks soaring on it, so close at hand.

The white clouds flew close to the ground, and the blue sky was black and white, bright and shocking.

On the slightly yellowed meadow, a group of yaks graze leisurely.It's like an oil painting.

Maoniuping is the farthest scenic spot in the scenic area, and there are not many people in the afternoon.A group of people enjoyed the bright and peaceful scenery in front of them, silently.Faced with such beautiful scenery, I can't help but feel admiration.

After admiring the Jade Dragon Thirteen Peaks and the alpine meadow for a while, He Huan led the tourists up the meadow plank road, "Yakuniuping is the best place to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the Jade Dragon Thirteen Peaks are unobstructed."

"En!" Everyone nodded, and Xiao Bailong always took them to miss the crowd and enjoy the beautiful scenery alone.

"Maoniuping is called Panongguo in the Naxi language, and is considered by the ethnic minorities here as a place where gods live."

"It's really a place where gods live!" Everyone looked at the snow-capped meadow, feeling relaxed and happy.

"Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is called Oulu in the Naxi language, which means Tianshan. It is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. It is said that it is the incarnation of Sanduo, the protector of the Naxi people.

It is the snow-capped mountain with the lowest latitude in the northern hemisphere, that is, the snow-capped mountain closest to the equator.There are thirteen snow peaks in a row, like a jade dragon soaring and flying, so it is also called Yulong.

The mountains of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are mainly limestone and basalt, black and white, so it is also called Black and White Snow Mountain.There are two rivers flowing down the mountain, one black and one white.

The one on the side of Maoniuping is called the Black Water River, and the one on the other side of the Blue Moon Valley is called the White Water River. "

Everyone walked in the meadow with He Huan, listening to him talk about the place where the gods live, feeling peaceful and happy in their hearts.

After talking about the same, He Huan took pictures of them.At the request of other individual travelers, I also took a few photos for them.Then hand the camera to the tourists, take photos with the team leader, and take photos with the tourists.

Other individual travelers couldn't wait, "Little Bailong! Aren't you still going to Yunshanping?"

"Don't worry. We'll stay in the scenic area, and it's okay to be late."

A few individual tourists are sour, they want to go back to the ancient city!Late and no car!I can only go first.

The little white dragon group was so happy that they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Maoniuping all by themselves.

After taking many beautiful photos for everyone, He Huan took them down the cableway to Yunshanping.

After getting in the car, He Huan began to explain again: "Lijiang is known as the capital of romantic encounters, and Yunshanping is known as the place of death in love."

"what!"

"So Lijiang is suitable for romantic and extreme love! Couples should come to Lijiang once in their life!"

"Hmm, um." The lovers leaned on each other, feeling very happy.

The light bulb looked out the window sadly, "I don't deserve it."

Everyone laughed, and a few single tourists also said: "Then let's wait for an affair!"

He Huan looked at them, "I know Aventure! Aventure! I'm not single yet? Everyone should come to Lijiang once in their life!"

The little white dragon group all smiled.

And the team leader also looked at him with a smile.
