Chapter 974: Extra punched the cotton

What is the matriline society of island civilization?

To be honest, before coming to Japan, Li Su really didn't understand this issue. The main reason is that he was too lazy to think about it and too lazy to deduce it, it has nothing to do with real life and politics.

But this time after arriving in Japan and landing near Osaka Bay, Li Su felt a lot of inspiration in just over a month. Although it was useless, it also opened his mind and experienced the thinking of an anthropologist.

The conscience of heaven and earth. When Li Su first came, he really didn't plan to conquer it. He just came to test whether the new sea ship was convenient for a stable voyage along the warm current and southwest wind on the east coast of the Japanese archipelago, and opened the map by the way.

After the map was opened, explore the waterway along the Seto Inland Sea and figure out which city-state tribes were there on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. Li Su naturally had to return slowly, pretend to go to the West to find Ishimi Yinshan, and then return to the old place of Xiematai on Zhuzidao. At least the level of civilization is more civilized than that of Osaka Bay here.

During the process of exploring the map, even if you have to use force, it will be against hostile people. I didn’t expect to kill people without reason. Savages are also humans. If they can be assimilated, why do you have to kill them?

However, as soon as the fleet of thousands of people was logged in and after more than a month of opening the map, the situation gradually got out of control and exceeded Li Su's expectations.

Fortunately, the Han navy soldiers were not injured in this out of control. If they were out of control, they would lose control in the direction where the indigenous people were even more miserable. It would be fine.

Li Su understands that if seafarers go to sea for a long time, they will definitely be under great mental pressure. Those who are willing to come out are not allowed to take care of their families, nor do they care about their wives and children. You have to endure it because of your mistakes.

Especially in the past, the Han Dynasty had been in war for more than 20 years, and had just resumed peace and recuperation for only five years. The proportion of male population in the Central Plains reduced due to war was definitely far higher than that of women. The so-called "no singles" in troubled times is said to be the reason.

Of course, among the more women in the Central Plains, the proportion of unmarried people is not high, and many are widows whose husbands have died. However, people in the Han Dynasty did not care about widows remarrying.

In this case, if you can't find a wife in the Central Plains, you either have bad character or have strong demand. You are attracted by the big cake of "as long as you go to sea, you will be given a lot of barbarian women" painted by the court. Otherwise, if someone is sick, he will risk going to sea for a high salary?

Even in the 21st century, seafarers in the most civilized countries will have to spend money as long as they sail to countries with less security or allow various gray industries to get ashore.

Or if some countries along the way are too civilized and do not have those industries, then the ships will not choose to dock and replenish supplies in those countries! They must also support the ports of countries with those industries.

...

So, less than a month after landing in Osaka Bay, thousands of naval troops in Ganning killed no less than 10,000 people, directly controlling the fertile areas along the Osaka Bay coast.

It is not surprising to easily conquer. After all, the enemy does not even have iron weapons and fewer bronze weapons, so it is normal to not be able to defeat them.

But the strange thing is that this killing did not arouse hatred and the business was done. It was located in Osaka Bay and further inland, in the upper reaches of the Yodogawa River, which is the "Yamato Kingdom" in the later Kyoto and Na area, was still harmonious with the Han people. The local queen and female heads of princes at all levels came to communicate with Han generals.

The queen of Yamato Kingdom may be the prototype of the Divine Kung Fu Queen in "The Ancient Times", or it may be the Divine Kung Fu Queen's mother and grandmother, who don't know her generation.

At the beginning, Li Su and Zhuge Liang were shocked by this situation: there is still a woman in this world who can still trade with others after being killed by someone?

Of course, only "killing brothers and nephews" does not exist, because there is no situation of "killing husbands", because there is no marriage in the matriarchal society, and women have no husbands, and the relationship between men and women is random.

But even killing sons and brothers is a serious hatred in the eyes of the Han people.

Zhuge Liang studied this issue in depth and investigated the context clearly from an anthropological perspective:

First of all, in the process of landing and occupying land, trading, and establishing its own rule, this matter itself did not pose a threat to the queen rule of "Yamatopoeia".

In 207, the Japanese did not have the concept of "land ownership". At least the population is small enough and there is enough wasteland. Anyone wants to reclaim a land without a barren land or build a large amount of construction, and no one comes back to take care of you. Throughout June, the large number of killings had nothing to do with land occupation and invasion.

Resistance and killing mainly occur in the process of fighting for women.

Before Ganning's army arrived, there was no marriage system in the local area, so men and women were very casual. Whoever threw it down would be happy once. I don't know if there was a seed left after the fun, and there would be no indigenous men who wanted to monopolize women.

However, the naval sailors in Ganning were all Han people. The Han people had already entered a patriarchal society and had the intention to possess women. Therefore, in the process of random land expansion, thousands of Han sailors also used force to get tens of thousands of indigenous women along the Osaka Bay coast and began to take private exclusives.

The key is: during this process, the looted indigenous women did not resist because they felt that it was nothing. The Han sailors agreed to raise them and did give them a full meal every day. What's wrong with this?

Originally, when she was matriarchal, she was beaten by a man while walking on the road. The Han people actually gave her food and clothes, but after she pounced on her several times, she wanted to raise them. She was simply a sucker!

The first time a woman in Yamato discovered that there was a man in the world who had no blood relationship with you would raise you. What a big deal to resist, who would resist others giving you food and clothing?

In their original civilized form, it is necessary for men to raise women only by sons and mothers. Before the family is separated, younger brothers sometimes have to raise sisters, but there is absolutely no obligation for men and women to raise women because of that kind of relationship.

So everything started out in harmony.

The reason for the killing later was that the contradiction developed to the second stage - to be precise, those women still had no conflicts with the Han people, and the local men had conflicts.

After the Han people raised some women, local men still lived in the original customs. When they walked on the road, they would still throw themselves down casually. If they were physically stronger than women and had no sons or brothers around them to resist, they would admit that they would lose.

Because of the emergence of Han people, fewer women working in the wild gradually, and indigenous men could not pounce, and gradually they developed to a higher proportion of house-entry swooping. This situation was originally there, but it was relatively few, so they didn't care, and there was no loss anyway.

But the Han sailors felt that the women they raised belonged to them, and when they encountered this situation, they started killing them. To put it bluntly, it was just like catching and killing adulterers, but this cultural concept does not exist on the side that was killed.

During this process, the indigenous women who were raised still didn't think there was any problem, because in the original custom, it was normal for men to fight with each other in order to fight for the right to kill people.

Those who were killed have no blood relationship with women, so she does not need to stand up for the deceased, and biological instincts make them happy to see such things. Because after men kill each other, the ones that are definitely left behind are the relatively strong. Of course, the quality of the offspring left by relatively strong men will be better.

So after all, the only thing that is possible to hold on to the slaughtered indigenous men is their own mother and brothers and sisters.

But at this time, a third anthropological problem appeared again: in the eyes of the mother and sister of the deceased, these deceased were going out to play jungle and were killed by others. This is not a hatred between city-states and city-states, tribes and tribes, but just a fight for personal struggles.

There is a grudge, but it cannot rise to national grudges, which is a private act. To deal with this kind of private grudge, at most, the next time you encounter a murderer coming to jungle, don’t let him succeed and wait for an opportunity to fight back, as it will not rise to a general counterattack against the colonial Han army.

Gradually, the locals in Yamato also discovered that the Han people were actually very easy to get along with, and brought advanced productivity and tools. Under the same conditions, women had to support themselves much easier.

As for the indigenous men, as long as they do not try to get involved in those women who have been occupied by the Han people, they can continue to live peacefully.

Moreover, after all, it is impossible for the Han people to occupy all the indigenous women. The burden on the remaining indigenous women who have not been occupied will be heavier. They have to deal with all indigenous men. As soon as the ratio of men and women is increased, indigenous men still have the opportunity to vent their vents, but the winning rate is greatly reduced. Perhaps only dozens of indigenous men will stay, and the others will be squirted in vain.

But compared to the massacre, the subsequent deduction is already very peaceful. There is no need to kill people, just reduce the number of Y chromosomes from the indigenous people on the island by about ten times.

Twenty years later, in the areas fully penetrated by the Han people, only one-tenth of the newborn population was indigenous parents, and only 90% of the mothers were indigenous. After forty years, one percent...and then basically assimilated.

Although the long-term results are quite easy, the process deduction still makes Li Su feel powerless as if he "hits the cotton with one punch".

Before coming, he had imagined many strategies for how to completely assimilate and absorb Japanese people. Finally, he opened the map completely. After field research, he found that this was the result, and many preparations were useless.

It just happened to catch up with the trend of transformation from matriarchal society to patriarchal society! Nothing needs to be done!

Forget it, it’s better to send someone to find Shi Jian Yinshan on the way back. All of this is just an excuse to take a detour to find Jin Yinshan!

...

During the more than a month of supervising the establishment of the city in Ganning, Zhuge Liang did more meticulous research. His curiosity was even more serious than Li Su. He liked to dig into the bottom line. Of course, he would not miss this precious case of social evolution.

Zhuge Liang even wrote tens of thousands of words of research notes for this, which later became precious sociological and historical materials.

For example, Zhuge Liang discovered a social phenomenon similar to the Japanese and the Huns and some Xianbei people: they are all young children/female inheritance system, and their mother's family business is left for the youngest children.

In human nature, there was an instinct of "loving the youngest son more than the eldest son". In contrast, the Han people's inheritance system of eldest sons since the Zhou Dynasty was actually a kind of rigorous legal system but very unfamiliar instinct.

However, the Huns and Xianbei people have been influenced by the Han people for a long time and are not matriarchal society anymore, so their transitional state of inheritance seems difficult to understand.

In Yamato in the early 3rd century AD, the Japanese inherited life state was still like this:

Everyone does not know who their father is, but who their mother is, so they must raise their mother when they grow up. Whether sisters want to raise them depends on whether the sisters are separated.

So, when will the sisters be separated? The answer is that when the sister has her own daughter, and her daughter has grown up to have a basic labor force. This sign is that when her daughter also gives birth to a daughter.

In other words, if she still has her mother alive, she has to separate from her mother and go out for a single life.

There is only one exception here, that is, if this woman who has become a grandmother has no sister and is the youngest among sisters, then she cannot be separated. She has to be responsible for raising her mother forever, including raising her uncles for raising her old age and seeing off for the end of her life.

It is precisely because of this system of "if you become a grandmother, you can't divide it even if you become a grandmother", which has formed a system of inheritance for young children. Because the youngest cannot be divided, it will take care of the mother and all the uncles' retirement. If the old man has something left after his death, of course it will belong to her.

The Huns, Xianbei people and other nomadic peoples who inherited the youngest son obviously came from here, but they learned half of the evolution of the Han people on the issue of patriarchy and maternal lines, but the inheritance system did not evolve, so it is a semi-evolved four-dimensional phenomenon.

Of course, this is also related to the natural danger degree of island civilization and mainland civilization. In history, any island civilization with species isolation and lack of beasts is more likely to maintain a matriarchal society for a long time.

Because there are fewer tigers, leopards and bears that threaten human safety, women can rely less on men. For example, even in modern times, there are many European anthropologists who have discovered matriarchal tribes in Southeast Asia and Oceania, and there are no beasts on those islands that can kill people.

Gender equality is inversely proportional to the risk of "external forces that can kill humans". The more productive the more developed the humans are, the less natural enemies the killing filter of natural selection comes to humans, the more equal it is. Anyway, no man can live safely.

The current queen of Yamato is just the grandmother of all the "princes". The next queen will be her youngest daughter, perhaps the divine queen in "The Ancient Times".

Further down, "Emperor Ekshen" or Hachiman God should be a real story. He should have been the first real male emperor (of course, he definitely did not have the title of "Emperor" when he was alive, and it should have been summarized by later generations).

From an archaeological perspective, the Japanese entered the "Ancient Tomb Age" around 250 AD and began to appear large tombs that ruled the nobles for the first time. It is estimated that Emperor Ying Shen should have been born by his mother in 240 to 250 years.

Moreover, according to the turning point of the transition from matriarchal society to patriarchal society, Emperor Ying Shen is most likely to be the youngest son of the Divine Kung Fu Queen, because they were still the youngest son inherited before.

In this way, the Emperor Yingshen Emperor was about 40 years old, which was very consistent with biology. When the Emperor Yingshen Queen died at the age of 70, the Emperor Yingshen, who was only 20 or 30 years old, inherited his mother's city.

According to Japanese archaeology, Emperor Yingshen was the first to formally introduce Chinese characters from the Korean Peninsula, so everything is very reasonable.

However, the descendants of later generations could not understand the matriarchal society, or the early Japanese historians and rulers could not accept this history.

In order to force Emperor Ying Shen to "her mother and the first man, the offspring of the previous emperor", and to reconnect with the previous fabrication, he could only make him from a 20-30-year-old prince to a 70-year-old prince.

Under Zhuge Liang's research, the fabrication of later generations of Japanese people was basically clear:

First of all, the so-called "8 generations of history" from the 600th century BC, that is, the early years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains, to the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, around 100 BC, the history of these five hundred years was "deserved by eight generations" and was completely fabricated. At that time, no country existed.

(This is also recognized by later generations of Japanese archaeologists. Their excavations proved that the earliest countries appeared around 100 BC, with only savages before)

According to Zhuge Liang's current field research, the "eight generations of history" that Japan himself admitted was not enough. They had at least the "six generations of pseudo-historical history", which did not exist until the so-called fourteenth generation Emperor Zhong Ai. During this period, six emperors were compiled.

But there is still a difference between "no history" and "fake history". No history is completely without historical materials and no archaeological unearthed. Pseudo history has real objects unearthed in archaeological unearthed, but what people do in this era and who are completely inconsistent with what is said in "Ancient Times".

Similar to "The Erlitou site exists, but the people living in the Erlitou site may not be mythical figures such as Dayu and Xia Qi."

From 100 BC to 270 BC, there was a stage in which "there was a country, but it was actually a matriarchal civilization, which was originally a country". Later generations wanted to pretend to be a patriarchal society.

The Emperor of Divine Kung Fu and Emperor Ying were really the same person at the beginning, but they may not be the same person. The Emperor of Divine Kung Fu may be a symbol and representative of the end of the maternal society, and Emperor Ying was the representative of the opening of the patriarchal country.

As for why it was the key nodes of "100 BC" and "200 BC", the civilizational steps in Japan were caused, and at the same time, "introduction of bronzes"/"introduction of irons, Chinese characters" appeared respectively.

According to Zhuge Liang's research, it is obviously related to the political fluctuations in the Central Plains. In 107 BC, according to the records of the "Book of Han", it was the time node when Emperor Wu of Han set up four counties on the Korean Peninsula and eliminated Weiman Korea.

The Japanese appeared in a few years after this. It was very likely that Wei Man and North Korea fled from the Han Dynasty and crossed the Tsushima Strait. After they arrived in Japan, they of course reduced the dimensionality of the local primitive natives and completely conquered them.

The founders of Weiman Korea are well known to be established by generals who were unwilling to surrender to Qin when Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. This also explains why the earliest bronze archaeological relics of Japan had the style of the pre-Qin period and were attached by many people as "Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the east."
