Lousang, Tahiti, Nanxiqu.

In the backyard of Ma Chao's house, Ma Chao held the cold light dagger in his hand and walked step by step towards the head sheep leisurely eating the grass.

The day before yesterday, Ahon passed away in his sleep. He ended his destined extraordinary life and took away all the secrets he had to bear.

Walking incredibly peacefully.

According to the customs of the Qiang people, it is necessary to cremate after sunset on the third day. Ma Chao must use sheepskin skin and sew a sheepskin drum. He also uses the head of the sheepskin to make ritual vessels for sacrifices.

"There are three rituals for the funeral of the end: one is cremation, burning and burning; the second is burial of water, sinking and floating; the third is burial of wild burial, abandoning forests and feeding animals."

"The Qiang people die and burn them and raise them ashes." "The enemy of Di Qiang is not worried about the burden of their ties, but worry about their death but not burning them."

The ancient Qiang was mainly cremation. It was usually held after sunset. During cremation, relatives sat around and cried, chanting funeral songs to express grief. The ancient Qiang dance "holding hands and stamping feet" was also required to pray to the gods to bless the dead into another world. The singing and dancing continued until the morning of the next day. Then the ashes were buried underground. During the crown ceremony and funeral, the Qiang people had to tie a wool rope around their necks to show that they were the same as the sheep. During the funeral, they also needed to slaughter a sheep to guide the dead, which was called the "leading sheep".

The Qiang people regard sheep as the totem. The word "Qiang" in ancient text is "sheep" and "man", which is combined with upper and lower levels. There is also the theory that Qiang "follows people and goats".

It can be seen that in ancient times, the Qiang people had developed animal husbandry and were known to the world. Legend has it that the earliest domestic animal that the Qiang people were domesticated was the "ark sheep" that lived in the grasslands of the plateau. Later, after being domesticated by the Qiang people over the years, the ancient wild sheep was improved into the sheep today.

Therefore, "the sheep is beautiful". This may be the original meaning of "beauty".

Another origin of the word "beauty" is derived from the "crown sheep" custom of the Qiang people's "sheep head and human body".

The so-called "crown sheep" means making sheep heads, sheep horns, etc. into original ornaments and wearing them on the head.

"Crown sheep" is often a symbol of status and power. Wearing sheep-like ornaments to show mysteries and authority. In ancient times, it was mostly exclusively enjoyed by tribal leaders or chiefs.

Later generations of all nations that worship sheep totems would hold ceremonies such as sowing, praying for the good times, hunting, birth, celebration or witchcraft rituals every year. At these rituals, they would put their heads on the horns, wear sheep's clothing, or have sheep's heads on their heads. What's more, they would tie the whole sheep to their bodies and sing and dancing.

The custom of celebrating sheep gradually evolved into "the sheep is beautiful" and is known together with "the sheep is beautiful".

Therefore, the initial meaning of beauty may also refer to "a person who wears a crown and a sheep shape or a sheep head decoration". "The sheep is beautiful", and "big" can also be used as a person standing on the front; "sheep" is a decoration worn when playing totem, music and dance, and totem witchcraft.

However, no matter what the meaning is, "beauty" is closely related to the Qiang people.

A glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen.

Just as the Han rituals and Qiang rituals both originated from the Zhou rituals. Chinese characters are not only owned by the Han people. The "beauty" of Chinese characters comes from the "sheep" of the Qiang people.

The "headed sheep" is often the largest one in the flock. Ma Chao has raised it since he was a child and slaughtered it himself.

The leather below the sheep's neck is divided into two. The soft belly skin is used to make a sheep's skin drum. A whole piece of the back skin will be draped together with the scalp with the sheep's horns on Ma Chao's body.

The skinned sheep will be buried with Ahon's ashes after the sacrifice ceremony and become the "leading sheep".

Unlike the ancient Qiang "burnt and ashes are raised". After the Eastern Qiang is cremated, the ashes will be picked up and put into an altar and buried in the ground.

When Ma Chao stripped off the sheepskin and dipped it with the blood with wood ash, he was about to put it on his body. Suddenly, someone behind him said, "Come for your father."

When Ma Chao heard the sound, his whole body trembled. He endured the tears that were thrusting out of his eyes, turned around and knelt down to give a big gift. His father, who had always regarded his body as a shame in the blood of the Qiang people, actually gave him a sheep to the funeral of Ah Weng, who was not a relative of blood. Ma Chao finally let go.

The blood of Han and Qiang was finally reconciled.

When he saw a nine-foot man, he came out wearing a sheep. Even his petite mother couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Qiang neighbors who came to the funeral of Tahiti, Nanxi and Beixi also nodded and frequently wiped their tears.

Today's horse foal is the unparalleled horse chao tomorrow.

There is no hatred in my heart, only great love remains.

The world has no boundaries, let it gallop.

I think that Ahn will also rest in peace in the spirit of heaven.

Saying Ah Weng away and saying goodbye to Ah's father. Ma Chao entrusted the flock to his mother. He entered the martial arts field alone and learned skills. He practiced martial arts during the day and literature at night. The stars changed, the cold and the heat went on. Every day was not to be filled with.

When I was three years old, Wang Fuyan said that this son should be the leader of the new generation of Ji Kingdom.

Longyou, Xihai County.

The Xihai is the land in the Qiang area. It was originally a pasture for Beihe Qiang. The county city, Longqi, has a small city. It is one and a half miles across and one and a half miles away. It is slightly longer in the east and west, and is slightly shorter in the north and south. This city guards the source of the Huangshui River. It is surrounded by natural and excellent pastoral areas.

Previously, Liu Bei ordered his brother Guan Yu to lead troops to Longqi. He captured all the people of Beihe Qiang and built cities. Later, he moved tens of thousands of Za Qiang. Longqi was the county seat and also a prison city. The ancient city of the former Han Dynasty, which was one and a half miles apart, has been renovated. According to the plan, the Zhongguo was steadily built. Since it was a county seat, it should be five miles apart, and three circles of city walls were built inside, middle and outside.

The lakeside is lush and suitable for grazing, but not over-cultivation. After the craftsman conducts on-site inspection, he reports to Liu Bei and sets the lakeside as "Muyi". Unlike the "Mayi" used by Ji State to shed horses, Muyi mostly produces cattle, sheep and poultry. He is vigorously supervising the construction of livestock greenhouses, fences and pastures, hardened roads, etc., which are all in one go.

The craftsman also reported that there was "Nine Eyes Spring" 150 miles northwest of Longqi City. Later, it was commonly known as "the first divine spring in the West Sea" and was located in the Ganzi River prairie. There are nine hot springs, the source of the spring is dark, the water color is clear, and it is constantly gushing in all seasons. The water temperature is half boiling (60°), and the water volume is sufficient.

There is clean energy nearby, which is awesome.

This place was originally under the jurisdiction of Jianqiang County. The two words "Jianqiang" were not conducive to the coexistence of Han and Qiang. Therefore, Liu Bei changed Jianqiang County to Jiuquan County. Jiuyan hot springs were used, and the remaining six eyes were sent to Longqi. It can be filled with daily drinking water. It can also be put into the boiler room for heating and heating, which can be used for heating, and it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Bei also ordered craftsmen to build a hot spring soup restaurant on site for recuperation. It was named "Jiuquan Pavilion".

This time, the first stop of the inspection of Xihai, Longqi, and the second stop were Jiuquan Tangguan. Concubine Hui, the third wife, Luo Xu, Lu Xu, the Queen of Amazon, the Holy Sacrifice, the Ten Imperial Guards and others, all of whom were looking forward to it.

By the way, King Ji wanted to give birth to a hundred sons, and even heroes emerged. The Great Zhenguan had already spread all over the place. Even if half men and half women were each, two hundred sons were needed. Although everyone had a share, the so-called preconceptions were preconceived, and the old was orderly. It was better to give birth to early.

Have you seen that in order to transform Xiwoyi into the second princess Tang Muyi, King Ji specially made a statement. It can be seen that the children of King Ji are equal. The concubines should be completely stressed and wait for pregnancy with peace of mind.

"I, please pay homage to the king." Hao Zhao, the prefect of Xihai, led his civil and military officials and went out of the city to greet him.

"Everyone is not a gift." Liu Bei opened the window and smiled: "Let the way forward."

"Here!"

Everyone got on the horse and boarded the car, led the shogunate car to roar into the city.

Hao Zhao was young and old, and he could not tell his age. When he was writing his official book, he realized that he was only sixteen years old. He was already the governor of a county.

When the news came out, even though he had prepared, the official house in Shengping was also exclaimed. Hao Zhao was personally appointed by Guan Yu, the former military captain of King Ji. The troops were sent to Longqi City before, and Hao Zhao rushed to the front line as the vanguard. The attack was the first to climb the city. He was brave and scheming, and he made many military achievements. Guan Yu then promoted it to his brother Liu Bei, allowing him to show his talents.

King Ji knew that people were good at using it, and everyone in the world knew it.

A Chinese man becomes a motto.
