Chapter 352 Great Nation

"Buddhism has been introduced to Banna for more than 1000 years, and there are Buddhist temples everywhere in Banna. Why don't the Hani people who also live here don't believe in Buddhism?
I think it's not that they don't believe it, but that they don't have that chance at all.As we said in the morning, the monastery is the school of the Dai nationality, which undertakes the educational function.

Both social regulations and national intentions require boys to become monks.why is that?This guarantees the level of knowledge and culture of a nation.

And do the Ni people have such an opportunity?They are called Kago, and naturally they are not qualified to enter the monastery to receive education.Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others.Whoever holds knowledge and ideas is the ruler.

So up to now, the Zani people still stick to their ancient ancestor worship.Almost no believers in Buddhism.The Dai people celebrate the Water-Splashing Festival, and the Ni people celebrate the Torch Festival. Water and fire are incompatible. Before the 50s, the two ethnic groups did not intermarry. "

"Ah!" The tourists didn't expect the diaphragm to be so deep.

"It's easy to understand when you think about it. It's not possible to intermarry because of different classes. And the Dai people like to be clean. They live by the river, and they have the conditions to be clean. But the Ni people live in the mountains, so they can guarantee drinking water. It's good.

So the name of Nannuo Mountain comes from the Dai language, but the Hani people in Nannuo Mountain don’t like this saying, maybe it’s because of the displeasure of the Dai lords? "

Everyone laughed.

"Although tribute tea and tribute bamboo shoots seem to be very honorable. Even Pu'er tea likes to promote tribute tea. But this is in modern times, and everyone thinks: ah! It's amazing! It's actually the emperor, lord, or noble. It represents quality. !

But in the past, wouldn't it be hard for people to pick tea?Isn't it hard for people to dig bamboo shoots?Backing on the mountains and eating the mountains, I can't get enough to eat, so I can get some food and just provide those nobles for nothing.Do you want this blessing for you? "

Tourists smiled and shook their heads.

He Huan also said with a smile: "So when you arrive at Nannuo Mountain, don't mention this in front of the Ni people. You said it was because of the tribute bamboo shoot sauce, so Zhao Pian received the name, and they were smiling... ..."

He Huan didn't say anything later, but everyone was already laughing.

"Although the name of Menghai is explained in this way, it has only been more than 60 years since it was blindly beautified. People are living in the world. You don't care about national feelings, and people feel uncomfortable."

"Then what do they think they mean?" Everyone asked curiously.

"They agree that Nannuo means the source of mountain spring water. Because Nan is water and Nuo is bamboo, it can also be regarded as a waterside village full of bamboo shoots. Because they also worship water, they also worship forests, and their villages There must be mountain springs nearby.”

"Oh!" The tourists nodded.

He Huan suddenly remembered that there was still Master Chen in the car, and turned to look at Master Chen, "Master Chen, are you a Dai?"

"Yes! My parents were born before the 50s."

The tourists laughed and looked at Xiao Bailong gloatingly, making trouble?
He Huan smiled, "Then what I just said was right?"

Master Chen nodded, "Yes! The Dai people have always ruled Banna, and the feudal lordship system naturally included nobles, commoners, and slaves. Go ahead, I want to know the history of our family too."

Tourists can't help but admire the tour guide and the driver.

He Huan turned his head with a smile and continued: "Why did the Dai people become the rulers of the Banna region? Didn't we talk about the Meng culture yesterday?

We said that Banna is called Mengle.The Dai people call themselves Lai people, Dai Lai.According to the current historical data, the Li people are the aborigines of Yunzhou, who originally lived in the upper reaches of the Lancang River, and were called Ailao Kingdom or Daguang Kingdom in ancient times.

Because he was good at riding elephants, he was discovered by Zhang Qian on his way to the Western Regions and reported to the imperial court. The Han Dynasty called it the Kingdom of Dianyue Riding Elephants.That was more than 100 AD.

Then in 400 AD, the ancestors of the Li people moved to the lower reaches, that is, Banna, and stayed there.This is also easy to understand.

When we talked about the Lancang River, we said that life in the upper reaches of the mountains and valleys is difficult.

Like a broom, when the Lancang River reaches Banna, it suddenly spreads out, flattening and widening, forming many dams.The Li people migrated to this dam along the Lancang River.

But at that time, there were people on this land. The most glorious dynasty in the history of Southeast Asia, the Cambodian Angkor Dynasty, also began to be established during this period. One of the ethnic groups, Xichenmanma, occupied Banna.

However, the Li people were still scattered small tribes with weak strength.Then the 12 Li people tribes who moved in successively formed a tribal alliance - Lixi Shuangbang in order to compete with other ethnic groups for Pingba. "

"what!"

"You know? The Dai people just like to live in Pingba at the foot of the mountain, and they have been fighting for Pingba from the very beginning. But will they win if they fight for Pingba?
Hundreds of years later, with the decline of the Angkor Dynasty, Xiqianmanma also fell apart.

We know that the Angkor dynasty, which was very powerful in history and now only leaves the cultural heritage of Angkor Wat, was defeated by Thailand. "

"We don't know!" exclaimed the tourists.

"Then do you know now?"

"understood!"

Master Chen also laughed, and He Huan turned his head, "Master Chen, are you driving a bit slowly? Isn't it half an hour?"

"I'm afraid you won't finish."

He Huan was speechless. The driver of the tour bus drove slowly because he was afraid that the tour guide would not finish talking about emeralds and silverware.Now the master is slowly driving, and he is actually afraid that he will not be able to finish the history.

"I really want to hear it! Tell me!" Master Chen said again.

The tourists also laughed and said, "Talk, talk! Drive slowly! It's still early before dark!"

He Huan laughed, and continued: "Thailand was enslaved by Cambodia before the [-]th century, why did it become an independent country? There are also people who are responsible for it.

At the same time when the Angkor Dynasty was strong, there was also a powerful kingdom in the southwest, that is, the Dali Kingdom.The Dali Kingdom set up a Yinsheng Jiedu envoy in Banna.

When the Angkor Dynasty declined and its forces retreated southward, the Gao clan of Dali Kingdom took power, and the Dali monarch became a puppet, and the separatism of the princes of Dali Kingdom became more and more serious.

The two powerful dynasties around Banna are both declining, and a power vacuum has emerged.

Jiedushi's control over Banna was already very weak.The tribes in Banna fought for jewels, land and people.There were many bones and the plague was rampant. Banna sent envoys many times to ask the king of Dali to send troops to quell the turmoil.

But the monarch of Dali was too busy to take care of himself and couldn't control it at all.At this time, Ba Zhen, the leader of the Li people, appeared, pacified the tribes, established the country of the Li people, and became the founding king of the country.It was known as Jinglong Jindian Kingdom in history.

Although it is called so, historians have never recognized it as a country, because it paid tribute to Dali and the Southern Song Dynasty at the same time. It really has a tiger-head gold seal issued by the king of Dali and the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But in fact, its operating system is completely independent.Then Jinglong Jindian Kingdom expanded southward along the Lancang River, and the Li people continued to go southward, from Banna to the Indochina Peninsula.

Before that, the Li people had already traveled down the Lancang River.Because there are dams in Banna, there are more dams below.Therefore, many Li tribes have been established in the Mekong River Basin.

The same ethnic group allowed Jinglong Jindian Kingdom to expand very smoothly.By the twelfth century, the territory of Jinglong Jindian Kingdom stretched from Pu'er in the south of Dali Kingdom in the north, Chiang Rai in Thailand in the south, Shanluo in Vietnam in the east, and Shan State in Myanmar in the west. "

"Wow!"

"It's very big!" He Huan continued, "In our cognition, we always think that Dali is the only one in Yunzhou's history. That's because Dali has a deep relationship with the Central Plains culture and the promotion of Mr. Jin Yong.

In fact, neither the Southern Song Dynasty nor Dali in the same period could control the country of Liren, and it took advantage of the trend to become a large Southeast Asian country with a vast territory. "

The tourists nodded, knowing for the first time that such a powerful kingdom once existed in Banna.

"Until the Mongolian iron cavalry stepped into Dali, General Cheli was old and sick, so he asked his son Buluheda to lead the army in his place and continued to go south.

When they arrived in the country of Liren, if they failed to recruit and surrender, they started fighting.A nation on horseback, a nation riding an elephant, and finally the Mongolian iron cavalry won.

The Kingdom of Liren was also revoked its national title and became the Cheli Xuanweisi of the Yuan Dynasty. Cheli originated from General Cheli, the father of the man who conquered it. "

"Oh." Xiao Bailong finally answered the previous question.

"What the hell!" He Huan laughed again, "Actually, historians have been arguing about what the car means. Anyway, it was recorded in the history of the Yuan Dynasty. This name was also used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

But at that time, the Mongols came to Yunzhou and took the names of people and places. I don't know whether he transliterated it or just picked it up by himself.Today's Mongols and Dai people don't understand it.Unless the person named at that time came back to life. "

The tourists laughed.

"Although the Yuan Dynasty established a province in Yunzhou, it implemented the chieftain system in Yunzhou. We know the style of the Yuan Dynasty. The territory depends on fighting, and the territory must be large! I don’t care much about it. As long as I surrender to me in a name, I will continue hit forward.

The country name of the country of Liren was cancelled, and it continued to be managed by those people, and the Yuan army continued to march south.But this time the journey was not so smooth. While Jinglong Jindian Kingdom was in decline, the Le people who moved south had already established the Lanna Kingdom.

In fact, the name Lanna has never been called in the history of the Dai people, but it is called Mengyong.

When the Yuan army wanted to fight, they used Banna as a storehouse of food and fodder for soldiers. The common people fled to the Lanna Kingdom unbearable.People are resources, and now major cities are robbing people, and even more so in ancient times.

King Lanna saw that all the people had fled, he was so happy!Everyone was of the same family, so they used various promises to attract a large number of nobles from Jinglong Jindian Kingdom and the people to join them.

The Lanna Kingdom also grew stronger and annexed the Queen's Kingdom.The history of the Yuan Dynasty called the Lanna Kingdom the Eight Hundred Daughters-in-law Kingdom, and another subsidiary kingdom, the Queen Kingdom.After the daughter-in-law country annexed the queen country, it became the largest country in northern Thailand.

The Yuan Dynasty was very angry when it saw that the vassal state that paid tribute to itself was swallowed up, and sent a large army to the south.As a result, before arriving in Yunzhou, when I arrived in Guizhou, the local chieftains rioted because of burning, killing and looting, and I didn't go to Yunzhou at all.

oops!Don't talk about it. "He Huan drank his saliva.

"Speak, speak!"

"This is already the history of Southeast Asia. The Dai people who went south formed the main ethnic group in Thailand, the Thai. So the northern part of Thailand, which is next to our Banna side, they call themselves Dai-Tai. Do you understand?"

Everyone smiled and nodded.

"They are the Dai people of the Lanna Kingdom, and their religious sites still use the Dai language. They share the same ethnicity, similar language, culture, and living customs, so Thailand and our country have always had a friendly and good-neighborly relationship."

Everyone nodded, "Oh!"

"Including Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, the entire Lancang River Basin, the Li people are everywhere. And they are huge, and they are an important part of the history of Southeast Asia. It's just that they are called by different names in different countries.

It is to illustrate a truth, a nation with a language and culture that can be passed on is remarkable!So cultural heritage is very important! "

Master Chen nodded with a smile.

"Little Bailong, please continue to talk!" the tourists who were still unsatisfied demanded.

"The history and culture of Southeast Asia are inseparable from Yunzhou. Except for the Dai people, many ethnic minorities in Yunzhou are widely distributed in Southeast Asia. Let's talk about it later when we go to Southeast Asia."

"Then let's go!"

He Huan looked at them speechlessly, "Can you go up the mountain first?"

"Hahaha……"

Master Chen finally drove the car slowly to Nannuo Mountain.

A wooden gate is erected at the entrance of the mountain, with the words on both sides - the world's first village of ancient tea, the people of Hani welcome you.
