Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The tall trapezoidal earthen platform was built, surrounded by a circle of stones, and in the center of the earthen platform, a huge stone pillar was erected by Yan Zai himself, and the brass ax engraved the words that Yan Zai had said on the stone tablet, so every day  A member of the Chigata clan, when they pass by here, they will stop for a while.

    This is crude, but will make it better in the future.

    It will be taller and bigger.

    The teenagers stared at the stele, and they would recite involuntarily, igniting a raging fire in their hearts.

    Ancestors, you will protect us.

    Friend, you will help us.

    The reason why Yan Zai built this simple earthen platform was not just to organize the funeral.

    In fact, this is erecting a monument of hope. Future generations must continue to live instead of the predecessors who passed away.  It is the memory and monument of the tribe.

    This is a noble belief.

    When you have faith, you have motivation and hope, but you don’t entrust your faith to the gods. It’s funny to say that after Emperor Zhuanxu split the relationship between God and man, after Chong and Li opened up the sky and the earth  Many people suddenly remembered that they finally remembered that a long, long time ago, Fuxi, Nuwa, Yandi, Huangdi, Chiyou, and many other, earlier tribal leaders, they did not  Depend on God.

    It was they who first stood still in this mountain and sea, and then God followed.

    Fire is not bestowed by the gods, it is drilled by Suiren himself.

    The house was not made by gods, it was built by Youchao himself.

    The sword is not a gift from the gods, it was forged when the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought against each other.

    Including Yan Zai himself, he was also shocked when he looked at the monument erected by himself.

    Huang Huang is ancient, how magnificent it is.

    ? Even though it is wild and unrefined, people all have a powerful spirit of fighting against the heaven and the earth.

    That is the power called "Strength".

    "Yu, do you understand why we always know how to use fire and utensils? Do you know why the rites, music and virtues of the Central Plains, the North and the East surpass those of the South and the West?"

    Yu Yu scratched her head.

    妘 Zai smiled, pointing to the monument: "It means that if you are poor for salary, the fire will spread, and you don't know its end."

    "The body is exhausted but the spirit is immortal. The front firewood has just been burned, and the last firewood has been burned In this way, the fire will never be extinguished. The memory of the ancestors has become a means for us to fight against heaven and earth.  live forever."

    Yu Zai led them away, and the teenagers paid the most sincere respect to the monument. Among the clansmen behind, the old patriarch looked at the monument, his eyes reflected blood and fire.  Familiar faces who died in the war seemed to be revived at this time. They came to this field and buried in that mausoleum.

    "The torch is passed on from generation to generation, and there is no end to it."

    The old patriarch's originally clear eyes began to become cloudy, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away.

    There are still many things to do, just like Wu said, not only to live for the tribe and oneself, but also to live for the dead pioneers. If the tribe is destroyed, what face do they have to go after death?  What about those pioneers?

    The sun was setting and it was another busy day. Yu Yu saw Yu Shu on the way back from land reclamation. He followed Yu Tu and carried a medicine basket on his back. The basket was almost at the same time as the fishing net and was a product of the Fuxi era.  After people knew how to use rattan to weave into a net, baskets naturally came into being.

    When Yan Shu saw Yan Yu, he lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and hurriedly followed Yan Tu away.

    Yan Yu stood there looking at it for a long time, he didn't speak, while beside him, a tall Yan Fou came over, carrying a stone axe, looked at Yan Shu, where the two of them were going back, and patted Yan Yu's shoulder.

    "It's not a bad thing. I heard what Wu said. It was because I saw you found the taro that I wanted to compete for power. I also wanted to get some food for the tribe, but failed."

    "He has a good heart, but he is too impatient. This time, he will understand a lot of things by following Yan Tu to collect herbs."

    Yu Yu nodded half-understood, and Yu Fou suddenly became happy: "Yu, you are much younger than me, there are some things you still don't understand, you need to learn more!"

    As he spoke, he held his head high and held his chest high, with great air.

    But Yu Yu said strangely: "Wu is also about my age."

    妘弶 suffocated, beeped twice, and scolded: "That's a witch, can it be the same, since I was a child, Zai has followedThe old witch learns all kinds of knowledge. If the witch is not wise, then we are all finished.  "

    Yan Zai's ears moved, he turned his head to look at the two people who were behind, and waved to them.

    The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the field ahead, and the temporary settlement of the Akakata clan could already be seen, and a temporary circle had been built outside with the wood felled in the past few days, and these wooden walls could be dismantled.

    In the Central Plains, painting the ground as a wall to represent one's own living area has already begun in the Shennong era, so never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

    "Hanshu Shihuozhi": "The teaching of Shennong said: There is a stone city with ten feet, and a soup pond with a hundred steps."

    The complete city wall appeared in the period of Emperor Shun. "Wuyue Spring and Autumn" stated: "Gun built the city to defend the emperor, and built the country to guard the people. This is the beginning of this city." "Huainanzi" also has Gun as the city of Sanren  statement.

    However, the rammed earth technology has not yet been mastered, but there is the predecessor of the rammed earth technology, that is, the raw soil technology, and the rammed earth technology began to mature, and it was also in the era of Emperor Shun, but it has not yet spread to Henan.

    Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that all laws in the world began in the time of Shun.

    The barking of the dog is to welcome the people returning from the wasteland, squatting next to the wagging tail is the dolphin, and the lamb has gone out to find game for a day, but unfortunately, it seems that wild vegetables are not everywhere.

    The old patriarch put down the stone hammer and chisel in his hand, and stood at the threshold, touching the temporary walls. The front of the wood was sharpened and uneven, which could effectively resist wolf-like beasts.

    "That's it for the time being, we still don't have enough manpower to build walls that are too high, and we can't mine stones"

    The old patriarch sighed, and Yan Zai said: "Walls are necessary to resist beasts. Although wooden walls are filled with sharp wood, they can only resist small animals such as wolves and leopards. The clansmen did not open the totem.  Once you encounter a strange beast like a tortoiseno, the tortoise is close to a ground beast. It should be said that even the one that has just undergone changes, it is only higher than ordinary beasts, and the most inferior original beast can kill these beasts.  Wooden walls toppled."

    "Tomorrow, separate out some people, and use this wooden wall as a benchmark to at least ram up the earthen wall."

    "Only when the tribe is safe, can everyone search for food, cut down trees, and collect herbs with vigor. Without a safe gathering place, everything is in vain. Now that we know that there are extremely powerful beasts around us, we have to make preparations in advance  .”

    What I mentioned here is naturally the tortoise. The plan needs to be changed. The wooden walls are not enough, so the earth must be rammed.

    The old patriarch said: "Yes, Wu, what you said makes sense. I will ask Yan Fou and the others to shovel the soil and build up the ground tomorrow."

    妘 Zai corrected: "It's tampingno, version building."

    "Taming? Plate building?"

    The old patriarch was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

    Concubine Zai said: "You will know tomorrow. By the way, patriarch, let people prepare some stone tools, which are round and can be lifted. They should not be too fine, nor too heavy, but not too light."
