Chapter 486 Since ancient times, diversity has been one!
The evening's entertainment went by quickly.
Look at it from Li Jinglin’s perspective.
For the Red Yi people, this kind of mass dance activity is similar to the people in the city who go out to stroll in the park after eating.
Very comfortable and natural.
Professor Ma stood up, chatted with Li Jinglin for a few words, and then left leisurely.
Looking at Professor Ma's back, Li Jinglin couldn't help but smile and sigh.
"Professor Ma is really a wonderful person."
"Of course."
Luo Shiyao nodded.
"Professor Ma is very powerful. Even if you think he is a bit out of tune, in fact, he has devoted his whole life to the study of folk culture. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the cornerstones of Chinese civilization."
Hearing such comments, Li Jinglin admired deeply.
"Chinese civilization has been a multi-ethnic civilization of pluralism and unity since ancient times."
Scattered, it is full of stars.
country country, country, and home.
The really great thing about the study of folk culture is that it “consolidates the Chinese nation and the foundation of Chinese civilization.”
But within folklore, it can actually be summarized in one sentence.
It is a cultural community formed by countless ancient peoples.
In the ancient land of China, the fire of civilization spread.
Countless barbarians from the Central Plains and the Western Regions could also enter the Central Plains to do business, or even serve as officials, and obtain the status of Tang people.
And what about attitudes toward ethnic minorities?
[We are all a family, respecting culture, diversity, diversity, support and support, and working together as one. 】
There is some truth to this.
The gathering of diverse ethnic groups formed the concept of the Chinese nation in the true sense.
The Tang Dynasty was a truly multi-ethnic, diversified, and world-oriented country.
This starry sky formed different ethnic cultures, developed and expanded, and then gathered, condensed, fought, and competed in the Central Plains.
Home is diverse and different. The connotation of the word country can never be expressed by the Western "country".
During the Spring and Autumn Period, titles were formed for various princes.
This is quite important.
Folk culture is very easy to be underestimated.
In the Qin Dynasty, through the use of cars on the same track and books on the same text, the prototype of integration began to form, and the culture was once again highly unified.
Yes, the Han people are not a nation at all.
Zhu Hua, Zhu Xia.
But in China, if you are an ethnic minority, you can change your status to Han.
Han people, Han nationality, are so called abroad.
folklore.
But that is a matter of publicity and promotion, and a matter of art workers like Li Jinglin.
Therefore, the Chinese nation treats its compatriots from ethnic minorities completely differently from all other countries in the world.
Sometimes, there are often some more radical young people who think that folk custom is good, but too much emphasis on folk custom can easily make the ancients look bad and regard the dross as a treasure.
And since the Han Dynasty.
Various human races from all over the world communicate and influence.
Among them, the idea of "one family" is very important.
The reason why the West has developed a lot of culture, worked hard for a long time, and spent huge sums of money, but did not destroy China from the foundation of ideology and culture, is precisely because China has roots.
For the general public, it seems that they just feel that this folk culture should be studied and respected, but they have no idea what its specific importance is.
"Yes."
Because it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the Tang people were finally officially called "Han" in laws and regulations, and the ethnic name of the Han people was completely finalized.
Promote good content and avoid content that is not in line with modern values as much as possible, and do not release it with great fanfare and cause rounds of controversy.
What Professor Ma of folklore needs to do is to put aside personal sensibility and comprehensively analyze and study ancient folk culture with an academic attitude.
All kinds of folklore are constantly consolidating, reinforcing, and proving this point of view.
Even in terms of appearance, the "races" in the scientific sense are completely different from the Russians, Hani, etc.
No one will think "that's an outsider".
During the long evolution, these people also gradually integrated with other people in China. After thousands of years, they became members of the "Han culture".
This root may seem to the general public to be very general.
It may be hard for anyone to believe it.
"As long as you are of Chinese nationality, as long as your parents agree and you think you are Han, then you are Han."
He has made great contributions in tracing the origins, proving, and helping ethnic minorities discover their history and culture, as well as making outstanding contributions to the national cause.
It is people like Professor Ma who gather together to support the foundation of civilization and culture, making Chinese civilization stand firm in the wind.
It is the continuous in-depth excavation and research of folklore that proves one thing.
The ethnic integration of the fifty-six ethnic groups in China is not a modern thing.
The Han nationality is not a "race" concept as defined by Western scholars, but a "cultural community" concept.
Unity in diversity.
That's since ancient times.
This is even more important in the political and economic fields.
It is precisely because of unity in diversity that we promote multipolarity around the world.
Economic trade belt and maritime Silk Road.
Isn’t it based on this foundation?
This is simply the basis of everything on this land. As long as the foundation remains, the Chinese nation will never fail.
"Speaking of which, after arriving in southern Yunnan, I really feel that history is a circle."
Li Jinglin sighed.
He couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
Sitting in the house, looking at the night outside the window, it seems that I can see traces of history across the long river of time.
"Speaking of cultural communities, the ability of multiple ethnic groups to unite cannot be achieved in a day. Since ancient times, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has laid the foundation for this and made huge contributions."
"I think the Prime Minister would be very happy if he could see the diversity and unity of the many ethnic groups in China today."
Luo Shiyao blinked and said nothing.
In fact, although friends from all over the country joke about "barbarians" and "barbarians", no one will ever get angry because of it. This is the beauty of a cultural community.
What are barbarians?
Barbarians refer to those outside the Chinese national civilization and cultural system.
Yes, the choice of thousands of years old comrades has always been cultural victory.
"Speaking of which, after I came to southern Yunnan, I found that many people seemed to like Zhuge Liang very much."
Luo Shiyao spoke curiously.
"I even heard Professor Ma say that many ethnic groups even regard Zhuge Liang as their own god and enshrine him. When offering sacrifices, they first honor Kong Ming, then Fire, and then God."
"Haha, the Prime Minister is indeed famous in the southwest."
Li Jinglin smiled.
"Do you know the Jino clan?"
"Ah? That is."
"Legend has it that the Jinuo people were part of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition force, but they overslept because of their inclination to sleep. Although they overtook the team later, the prime minister refused to accept them. However, he arranged for them to settle down properly."
"The circular embroidery on the back of the little boy's clothes of the Jinuo tribe is said to be Zhuge Liang's Eight Diagrams, and the Jinuo tribe's sacrifices will shout Mr. Kong Ming."
At this point, Li Jinglin suddenly laughed.
"There is another way of saying it. Of course, another way of saying it is that the Jinuo people are addicted to sleep."
"Huh? Hahaha, it seems that the Jinuo people have understood the true meaning of life since ancient times."
Luo Shiyao couldn't help laughing.
"It's better to take a nap first and talk about it after you're full."
"The Dai people. The Dai people are even more interesting."
Li Jinglin smacked his lips.
"Legend has it that Zhuge Liang gave the Dai people farming skills during his southern expedition. When the Dai people were troubled by mosquitoes, rats, and ants, Zhuge Liang left behind the strategy of "If you want to live longer, use water to cool down, keep thatched huts short, and live in high houses." , thus, there is the Dai Bamboo House that we are familiar with."
"Even the [water shower] is one of the origins of the Water Splashing Festival, and the lighting of Kongming lanterns has become a traditional custom of the Water Splashing Festival."
"I'll go, I really don't know."
Luo Shiyao was immediately interested.
Good guy.
What on earth has Brother Liang done in the Southwest?
"They also marched south to the Weixi area and taught the local people the technology of growing rice. So, in order to welcome the Han soldiers transporting rice, the Naxi men and women lit torches to drive away mosquitoes and miasma. This is one of the origins of the Torch Festival."
History is a huge link.
The causes of the past produced the results of today.
Just like Dai Ying left a huge mess, the whole world is in constant conflict because of the historical problems left by the shit-maker.
On the other hand, what about Mr. Kong Ming more than 1,700 years ago?
"With the help of Mr. Kong Ming, the De'ang people officially entered the farming society. According to the folk culture of the De'ang people, it is said that Zhuge Liang once fell into the valley when he was developing Southwest China. He was rescued by the De'ang girl Anuo and took good care of him."
"The two fell in love, and Mr. Kong Ming left astronomy, geography, farming, and weaving to Miss Anuo. And, when parting, Zhuge Liang gave his hat to Miss Anuo. It is said that this is what the De'ang people's residence looks like. origin."
"For future generations, the De'ang people have always called Zhuge Liang [Dad Kongming]. Ang, of course, also left behind the Torch Festival and Water Splashing Festival."
Speaking of it.
Li Jinglin couldn't help but complain.
"In other words, the Prime Minister can be said to be the earliest salary king. Good guy, after coming to the south, he never tired of spreading fire. He not only spread fire, but also poured water, lighting fires and putting out fires."
The great fire magician, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
His fire was not just the three fires he used when he took office, which were used to burn Bowangpo, Xinye and Chibi.
He returned the fire of civilization.
The southwest frontier was ignited.
The fire of Chinese civilization can be passed down here.
This fire.
It lasted for more than 1,700 years.
"Of course, it is because of Chuanhuo that he changed the bloody conquest of the past hundreds of years and brought a better life to the local people with culture and civilization. Therefore, everyone is naturally willing to love him, and the surrender of people's hearts has truly established our current diversity. An all-in-one basic board.”
Speaking of it.
Li Jinglin couldn't help but complained again.
Even his expression became very strange.
It seemed like I was remembering some unbearable stories.
"Once this fire started, I'm afraid the prime minister didn't expect that more than a thousand years later, his biggest competitor would actually be a Western missionary, and even became Jesus' brother."
"what?!"
