In Sichuan, Yunnan, the mountains at the junction, there is a mysterious "lake." In the local dialect, the "Lu" as the ravine, "put" as, the "lake" also means "valley where the lake." That
this land known as the "daughter of the mysterious oriental country",
"human matrilineal clan territories living fossil", where the most
famous is the Lugu Lake River's Mosuo people "walking marriage" custom.
Into the modern society, there is still a large number of Mosuo men and women, the implementation of "walking marriage." Take marriage what is it? Do not marry men and women do not marry men and women were detained for life in their own matrilineal families. "Matrilineal," Alone, in modern eyes, of course, is unusual.
Different versions of the "daughter of country"
In
fact, "lake" area, is not a history book in the "female country", as
"Oriental daughter of country" the title, but also future generations
from the "Journey to the West," where "borrowing" to vocabulary. Although
"Journey to the West" is just a myth of Wu Cheng-en's novels, many of
the characters and place names, but it is written there are eyes nose. The so-called "Western Liang female country" is one example. "Journey
to the West" 54th back "method to every woman of the West Country, the
heart ape set off fireworks into account," wrote: "where the people are
long skirt Duanao, Noodles oil head, regardless of age, is full of
women are
two on the street doing business to find that his four public (Tang
Seng apprentice) arrived, together applauded Oh, cosmetic laughter
Road: 'race coming! race come!' "
As
early as the first one back, picture-the river, a local old woman
warned that: "or you have good fortune, came to my house! If the second
home, you also can not wholeness. I have a 45, are a few year-old
age, and put the 'Temptress Moon things' are to divorce. So, unwilling
to hurt you. if it also went to a second home, have families to large
masses, that the younger the person, which client was incensed over you
go!
Necessary intercourse with you. If not from on the crux of your life. Have
cut the meat into your body has to do Sachet few miles ... ... "From
the description of where Wu Cheng-en, it is easy to see," Journey to
the West "in the" daughter of country "is abstinence, nutmeg, and women
are no Fu Xiaoshou" Temptress Moon thing. "era on behalf of the World" sexual hunger "to haunt the whole society.
According
to "Old Tang Shu-dong female biography" reads: "East and Mau state, the
party's key then, the South East and Nga state Then, every other
sector, and the White Wolf Man Yi Lo women." Inferred from the Tang
period, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibetan convergence of
the Yalong and Dadu River tributary - large and small Jinchuan area,
there have been a "daughter of country", when the so-called "East
female country", it should be the ancestors of the Mosuo people. It is difficult to say "Lugu Lake" in Mosuo people, and Wu Cheng-en's "Western Liang female country", which qualified older. Thin
elegant up, Masashi there are "female country" record, the earliest
documentation appears in the "Northern History" or "Sui Dynasty" Lane. Whether it is "female country", or "East female country", are legendary in the "daughter of country." It seems that this ancient and mysterious country, the scale is not too large. Congling, that is today's Pamirs. "Congling of the South", it should be in Xinjiang. Tang Seng prototype - Master Xuan Zang went to Tianzhu seek law, it is precisely through this road to the West. The exact point that "female country" a specific location, should be in today's Kuqa County of Xinjiang. Kuqa ancient times known as "Kucha", that "prosperous city-state" means. Wu Cheng-en, "Journey to the West," where the placement of a romantic, "Yan Yu", how many also have a little historical basis.
"Sui
Shu" detailed account of the "female country" situation: "the mountains
for the city, square 56 years, people have 10000." Natural condition is
not good - the weather is cold, to Shooters as a career. Here the most famous product is nothing but a cinnabar, musk, yak, horses or something. Be
able to earn large "foreign exchange" of mineral salt, female country
from top to bottom, we mean that it is something to survive it. "Heng Zhu Xing salt traders to the days of its benefits several times."
Reflects
environment Everyday, relying on water, drinking water, will do
business, "daughter of country", times were still relatively well-off. Unfortunately, there is not the streets cheese natural beauty, 冰清玉洁 beauty; hand, is frightened. "Sui
book" Lane said, "Female country" people, strange expression: "Men and
women begin with color painted face, day or a few changes among the.
Everybody Phi hair, with leather for shoes, taxation impermanence."
These bells and whistles , misshapen face, how to give people more or less sense of beauty, how many do sexy? Even small country, when the family is also very impressive. "The
Queen" natural difference: "King of the nine-story home floor, maid
hundreds of people, a North Korea on the 5th. Resumption of a small
Queen, known to national policy. The customs lady, light her husband,
and sexual jealousy is not." If the queen dies, how the new-jun returned? "The
queen died, the country in the thick grabbing money, find the dead
woman two-yin of the tribe, one for the Queen, times for Amy." This is
similar to loose some of the hereditary system. The so-called "The Queen", "Xiao Wang", which is a positive one.
"Daughter"
of the burial customs and is also very strange: "elegant death,
stripping leather, gold dust, and placed in bottles and buried in the
flesh. After a year, but also buried in its skin in the iron." Seems
the only way so, rich person can be the soul is immortal, eternal flesh.
Since
the "Sui Shu" where there was an "daughter of country", this
woman-headed the regime actually come from afar, Hajj Turkey. Kai-Huang
six years, that is, 586 years, the "daughter of country" emissary
tribute, Emperor Wen Yang Jian, received their high-spirited manner. History
books, where there is no detailed disclosure of specific details, only
illegible account of a sum of: "to open Emperor six years, Lazarists
tribute, followed by gradually absolutely." "Old Tang," where there's
"East female country", when the soup is more than changing no dressing, or the side of land and water that Darfoner. In
fact, women headed is difficult, and lining up the male neighbors live
in harmony, their morals, is bound by the original circle of threats. Want to survive, only to change yourself. Li Tang after the official texts, no longer heard of any "daughter of country." Today, the "lake" walking marriage, when a "daughter of country", "Dream Dream", "beyond the flesh body," the bar.
