Chapter 141: Hidden and Dangerous Cliffs in Distress(2/2)

Maybe it was because I had seen the depressed layman Mount Tai pressing down on the top of the mountain.

Maybe it was because I had seen the light dance under the moonlight of the Buru Mai.

Maybe it was because I had seen Miss Mochou suddenly burst into spring.

Probably because he had been entangled with the four bodies of Yuan Chuntuo,

Maybe it was because he had been close to Yin Seke,

Probably because I once bathed incense soup with Hu Caiting Pavilion.

With these many beautiful experiences, the hazy figure seems to have many more concrete characteristics.

It seems that it is a real person, with a real warmth.

Gradually entangled with Qingyun's spiritual consciousness, and merged into one.

It seems that this dark and cold space of despair has a little warmth,

Let Qingyun persevere.

》The time to knock on the blackboard

Feitouman, this kind of monster/spell is first recorded in "Su Shen Ji", which is also anecdote for celebrities: I remember that there was a reckless man from the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han Dynasty. This man was named Zhu, Huan, and his courtesy name was Xiumu. He became a general in the Eastern Wu. He said that there was a maid in his family, who was Luotou, who was proficient in flying head art. At night, he was the prime minister. One day, the maid's neck was accidentally covered by a brocade quilt, and Feitou could not fall back to his original position, so he almost died. Zhu Huan happened to see him and saved the maid.

Xuanwu Heiyan, who is good at flying head technique, is actually a visual artist who relies on quick hands to change his outer clothes to draw.

OK, let's continue to talk about the logic of the Columbus exchange.

The Xinjiang cotton incident was a hot topic some time ago. The cotton crop has a history of cultivation in China for thousands of years. If someone now told you that cotton is native to the Americas and is one of the contents of the Columbus exchange, what would you think?

From a certain perspective, this statement is correct. Because 95% of the world's cotton planted now are long-length cotton or fine-length cotton. These two cotton species are "traceable" in the Americas. Asian cotton, which is native to Asia, has been gradually eliminated due to production and other relationships.

Some "experts" say that Asian cotton is native to India. But this may not be the case.

In fact, there were two types of crops called cotton/mulberry in ancient East Asia, one was kapok, woody, and the other was cotton and herbs. This was clearly stated in "Material Herbal Cotton" and "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs". Herbal cotton, originally called "Shea" because the shape of the cotton boa is budding, just like the slightly exposed lilac ("Yanfanlu·Biography of the King of the Tang Dynasty"... Ancient Bei grass is a flower, which is called "Shea" and "Shea" ("Coarse") and "Shea" ("Fine Cotton"). Therefore, cotton is also called "Jiba", which is derived from herbal cotton. However, because the ancient cotton and cotton mixed name are mixed, Jiba is gradually used to refer to the concepts of woody herbs, which are the same as the ancient cotton word...

The one that came from South Asia was Kapok. It was first seen in "Wu Lu": There is a kapok tree in Anding County, Jiaozhi, which is more than 100 meters high. "Shu Liang" also says: Linyi Country comes from Jibei, and agarwood. Jibei is the name of a tree. When it was blooming, it was like a goose sound. It was sprinkled with it and sprinkled it into cloth, which was different from the cloth. It was dyed into five colors and weaved into Banbu. Linyi Country is now in southern Vietnam. We can clearly see that Kapok was a species introduced to South China in the Han Dynasty.

The history of Chinese herbal cotton planting is far earlier than that of kapok. Therefore, the Han Dynasty book "Shuowen" had the word "mian" but not "mian". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the mother of Confucius' disciple Min Ziqian used reed flowers to control cotton clothes because of her family's poverty. "Han Shu·Food and Goods": People sell and buy grains, silk, silk, cotton. Therefore, "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" quotes Qiu Jun's "Gao Yanyi Bu" and says: "The Ministry of State Council's method of adjusting the people, and the people's annual silk and silk are exported to cotton, and cloth and hemp. At that time, there was no kapok. It can be seen that China had herbal cotton first, and then Kapok.

According to the "Yanfanlu", the herbal cotton and ancient shell grass are very long-lasting.

"Shangshu Yu Gong": Birds and flowers are dressed in clothes, and they are weaving shells. This sentence has been mentioned. Many people take it for granted because of the differences between the jibe and kapok in later generations. However, "Er Ya": Flowers are grass. Flowers are dressed in herbs, and shells are dressed in shells, which refer to herbs. According to historical records, kapok was not introduced to China at that time.

Isolation is not shown, we have the "Book of Songs" as evidence. "Xiao Ya·Xian Bo": The lush and flakes are made of beige. The most common mistake here is to translate beige into beige brocade. Isn't this strange? Why specifically specify beige brocade? Does archaeology support this tradition? What's more, lush is the appearance of lush trees, and it is obviously highlighting a certain herb here. Many people don't translate the word "ige" and can only ignore the word "ige". So what is the correct translation of this poem? Combined with the meaning of the poem before and after the poem, this sentence says: If there is a piece of grass, it can be blown into cotton brocade. (The person who accused can really blow. If you open your mouth and exhale, it will be the stars. Who did you learn from?).

Therefore, although the ancients did not distinguish between cotton and kapok, we today still have to distinguish between them. By the way, although South Asia began to grow kapok in large quantities thousands of years ago, the West still traced kapok from the Americas.

What can we see from this? It can be seen that the "Columbus Exchange" is a complete history of species from the perspective of Westerners, with no standards or objectivity at all. We have talked about Asian chickens, longhorns, peppers, pumpkins, potatoes, peanuts, and corn... Because of their own regional species and lack of culture, the West always believes that these "new species" were driven by their brave first-class people. So far, there are still few materials available on the table of ordinary Europeans, and they are even far from reaching the level of Jia Sijie's "Qimin Yaoshu". So they once went to the Americas and felt everything was fresh.

But then again, while criticizing, we must also analyze its scientific nature. Just like when we analyze the concept of Asian culture origin in neighboring cosmic countries, we must also find out the reasonable logic, for example, its essence is a spiritual conversion to pan-Chinese culture.

So where is the rationality of the Columbus exchange? We know that the evolution of many species in different regions will have differences, such as oranges in Huainan, oranges in Huainan and tangerines in Huainan. Ancient millet, American corn, and modern selection of sweet corn are actually not exactly the same. Asian cotton, long-length cotton/modern chili, and Wu pepper, all have similar situations.

The phenomenon of counter-invasion of American species and eliminating old world species exists. There must be scientific reasons for this phenomenon.

1. Survival of the fittest. American species are naturally eliminated and reproduced when humans are involved less and species competition is not fierce, forming a population that is slightly different from other regions. Moreover, because of their vast land and abundant resources, American crops usually have a large yield and have certain competitive advantages compared to old world species. This is a fact.

2. Western conquerors brought European and American species to the world in the Age of Discovery. Except for a very small number of species with overwhelming advantages, Asian crops can only stick to their original place due to cultural weakness. The direction of cultural output is to push from Europe and the United States to the whole world.

3. Modern sciences such as breeding, seed selection, and genetics were first scientifically summarized in the West. Many artificially selected species were improved based on American species. The most representative of these is sweet corn.
