(Added 2/4 for the tip from book friend Wu Weiqing)
After drinking the Green Bird wine, these people from the Green Bird Alliance have completely joined the Green Bird tribe.
However, Han Cheng did not immediately lead these people to leave the main tribe and head towards Jinguan City, but stayed in the main tribe for the time being.
Although he really wanted to take these people away immediately, he had to reluctantly choose to stay because of some unfinished things.
The issue is how to accommodate these new members.
This is not the first time that the Qingque tribe has absorbed other tribes, and there are already certain procedures on how to deal with these newly joined tribes.
Generally speaking, there won't be too many problems as long as you follow this process.
However, things are different this time. There are too many people joining the tribe at one time, and many of the previous methods are no longer suitable.
Of course, the most important thing is that Han Cheng also considered another aspect of the problem.
The problem is how to prevent inbreeding.
In the past, the way the tribe prevented inbreeding was to hold regular celebrations with other surrounding tribes every year.
But with the continuous development of the Qingque tribe and the disappearance or merger of surrounding tribes, the primitive method of the Huanxi Club could no longer be used.
After all, apart from the Qingque tribe, there are no other tribes around now. Even if they want to hold the event, no one from other tribes will come to participate.
Moreover, as a person who came from the future, he could understand such things, but deep down, he still had some resistance.
Because some things will be deeply engraved in your bones.
In the past, Han Cheng could have postponed this matter, but now, he can no longer postpone it.
Now that a large number of tribes have joined his tribe, if he does not take this opportunity to resolve the problem, then later on, there will definitely be serious safety hazards.
There were a large number of deformed or mentally retarded children in the tribe, or all kinds of strange diseases, which were not what he wanted to see.
If you don't want this to happen, you need to find a way to resolve this hidden danger, and resolve it in the near future.
The reason for this urgency is, on the one hand, that Han Cheng needs to hurry up and take his men to Jinguan City, and on the other hand, it is because when these new members just joined the tribe, they have not been disrupted and are easier to distinguish.
Otherwise, once they are disrupted, it will be difficult to carry out this task again.
As for the solution to this matter, Han Cheng has already thought of it and is waiting to implement it.
This matter is actually simple. After all, as a time traveler, he has many methods to learn from.
The difficulties that the Qingque tribe is currently facing were also encountered by the ancient people in the era in which he lived before, and they also provided solutions.
The solution is the surname.
A surname is not just a symbol representing a population. It can not only distinguish races, but also effectively prevent inbreeding.
Just remember not to marry someone with the same surname, and you can avoid many cases of close-kin marriages.
Of course, what is said here only refers to the time when the population is small. When the population reaches a certain level, there is no need to strictly abide by the rule of not marrying people with the same surname.
As long as they are not close relatives, people with the same surname can get married and have offspring.
These things have basically become common sense in later generations, but in today's era, they are still extremely novel.
That is why Han Cheng is thinking here about how to explain the truth to the people in the tribe in a simple and easy-to-understand way so that they can understand and implement this matter better.
There is no need to think about the surnames of the people in the Qingque tribe. It is naturally everywhere, the "Qing" in Qingque.
In fact, it would be more appropriate to use "Qingque" as the surname of the Qingque tribe. However, considering the issue of double surnames, Han Cheng thought about it and decided to give up the idea. He just took the character "Qing" as the surname of the Qingque tribe.
This was not only due to the habits he brought from later generations, but also because in future exams, people in the tribe would be able to write fewer characters when writing their names.
For example, some people in later generations who used characters with too many strokes as their names, when they finally wrote their names on the test paper, the rest of the people had already finished two multiple-choice questions...
The surname "Qing" is given to all the people in the Qingque tribe. Having such a common surname can make the people of the Qingque tribe feel more like a whole. After all, everyone has a common surname, so how can they not be a family?
When you meet someone in this era, you will naturally be more friendly to them than to others.
The clan name is what distinguishes people in the tribe.
Because Han Cheng's own surname is Han, the mainstream surname of the Qingque tribe is naturally "Han".
However, after settling this matter, Han Cheng suddenly became worried.
His worry was that if some country in the future that produced a lot of Koreans knew about this, would they immediately jump up from the ground in excitement, and then point at their own Korea with a serious face, and forcibly merge it with their Korea.
Han Cheng didn't want to travel thousands of miles to become the ancestor of a bunch of Koreans.
This is not a joke.
Before knowing what happened to the great poet Qu Yuan, Han Cheng had never known that some people could invent history to such an extent and be so shameless.
Qu Zi, a doctor of the State of Chu and a descendant of the royal family of Chu, traveled thousands of miles to the northeast corner and inexplicably became a member of a group of people who were carrying animal skins and sticks and chasing prey.
Such an extremely incongruous style of painting, but those people could actually appreciate it with a smile on their faces...
With the example of Qu Yuan, Han Cheng was really worried.
Qu Yuan, who lived near the Yangtze River, was forcibly proven to be a native of the northeast corner of the peninsula. As a person living near the Qinling Mountains, it should not be a problem for me to be forcibly proven to be a native of the peninsula.
This is really worrying.
Perhaps, when his tribe is big enough, he might send some descendants over there to completely incorporate that place into the territory of the Qingque tribe.
I heard that ginseng is abundant there, and eating it can prolong one's life...
When Han Cheng turned his mind to this, everything suddenly became clear.
It is basically impossible to take people there and incorporate that area into the territory of my tribe.
On the one hand, the development is a bit slow, and the transportation and other aspects are not good. On the other hand, he is not sure whether there are people in that area in this era...
However, I can leave behind some legends about that place.
For example, the legendary ginseng that can prolong life...
With these magical legends, after the Qingque tribe gradually grows to a certain extent, perhaps some descendants will go to this area because of these legends.
For example, the gold rush that once swept the West.
After all this happens, it will be a wonderful journey...
"Moo!"
A somewhat dull cry came from a distance. Han Cheng, who had already fallen into wonderful reverie, was startled by the cry of a cow and woke up from his thoughts.
Recalling his thoughts just now, Han Cheng shook his head and smiled helplessly. There were too many worries and the future was too far away. He should just do what he needed to do first.
While thinking this in his mind, he picked up a pen and wrote down the idea that had just come to his mind. He planned to perfect this idea when he had free time and start implementing it in the tribe.
After recording this incident, Han Cheng continued with his previous work.
At the beginning, Han Cheng was planning to separate out the tribes that joined his tribe relatively late, except for the Qingque Alliance tribes that had recently joined his tribe, and determine their surnames according to the tribes they originally belonged to.
Such as the One-Eyed Tribe and the Creek Tribe that joined last year, and the Wind and Neighboring Wind Tribes that joined earlier.
The reason why he had this idea was that he felt that if he did not separate these tribes, but instead labeled all these people as "Han", there would be too many people with the Han clan in the tribe, and after a long time, it might be difficult for the boys to find wives.
It can be said that as the son of God of the Qingque tribe, Han the Great God is also worried about death.
But now his idea has changed, because he suddenly realized that the reason he had such an idea before was that he subconsciously set the tribe to no longer develop and absorb other tribes from now on.
In such a situation, the things you worry about are very likely to happen.
However, such a setting is obviously impossible.
When I first came here, the entire Qingque tribe, even including myself, the son of God who descended from the sky, had only a few dozen people. Now, more than ten years have passed, and my tribe already has more than three thousand people!
After another ten years, what will the population of my tribe reach?
With the continuous joining of other tribes and the continuous development of his own tribe, by the time the people of the Han family in the tribe will definitely not reach the current scale of nearly half of the total population.
After figuring this out, Han Cheng suddenly felt cheerful, and the things that had been bothering him before no longer bothered him.
He began to write quickly on the paper.
The Bear tribe was named Xiong, and the Fox tribe was named Hu.
The reason why it was changed to "Hu" was that Han Cheng felt that using "Hu" as a surname was not a good idea, as it always made people involuntarily associate it with fox spirits.
On the other hand, it's just a matter of habit.
As for the Rat Tribe...
Please forgive his lack of knowledge and talent, but he has been sitting here thinking with his pen in his mouth for a long time, but he has not imagined that there will be a surname with the syllable "shu" in later generations.
So after thinking for a long time, Han Cheng gave up on treating the Rat Tribe, and simply wrote "Rat" as the surname in the corresponding position of the Rat Tribe.
After some creative operations, everyone, including the old man Shou from the Qingque tribe, got their own surnames.
However, Han Cheng, who was used to having his surname and last name combined, felt a little uncomfortable and awkward when he saw the clan name written on the paper.
I hope that in the future, my tribe will be able to achieve a unified surname.
Han Cheng thought so while holding the paper.
Because the unification of surnames is the product of an ethnic group developing to a certain level.
The fact that the surnames were unified shows that the Qingque tribe had already become a large tribe at that time.
Perhaps simply calling it a big tribe is no longer appropriate. It should be called the Qingque Kingdom, or the Daqing.
Of course, this Qing is the Qing without three water drops, not the Qing that means "The breeze is illiterate, why is it flipping through books?" I mean the Qing of the Qing Dynasty.
After settling these things, Han Cheng stood here and stretched a few times. Then he took the paper to find Wu and his senior brother and told them about this matter.
After informing both of them of this matter and making them no longer have any doubts, Han Cheng will further expand the meeting, summon more people, and inform them of this matter.
"Son of God, why don't you just shuffle them around like you did before? Why do you need to use this thing to distinguish them?"
After listening to Han Cheng's story, the eldest senior brother thought about it carefully for a while but couldn't figure out the reason behind it. So he opened his mouth with a confused look on his face and sought answers from Han Cheng, the Son of God.
The witch sitting next to him did not speak immediately, but looked thoughtful, trying to think about the significance of Han Cheng's move.
He had some very vague concepts about these. He could vaguely sense something, but he couldn't tell what it was exactly.
After hearing the question from the senior brother, Teacher Han immediately responded: "This is because two close people cannot hide in the bushes together and give birth to a child."
The eldest senior brother was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became more confused, with some worry in his confusion.
For he not only hid in the bushes with those who were near him, but also had children, some of whom had grown up, and he also had children with some others.
Now the Son of God says this...
He hurriedly told these words to the Son of God.
After hearing what the senior brother said, Han Cheng couldn't help but be stunned. Senior brother, is this a German orthopedic doctor?
After suppressing some of the surprise in his heart, Han Cheng began to ask his senior brother some questions.
After a while and after learning more about the situation, Han Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After a long time, I realized that it was not the German orthopedics that I was worried about, but that my senior brother had misunderstood what I meant.
The close relationships he mentioned were brothers and sisters, but the eldest brother felt that the close person was his spouse.
That's why this misunderstanding occurred.
Han Cheng smiled and shook his head at the senior brother, signaling him not to be nervous: "The close people I'm talking about are different from the close people you think of. For example, you and your spouse have eleven children in total, and these children have your blood flowing in their bodies. These children of yours are close to each other, and they can't have children in the bushes.
Your children gave birth to children, and these children have your children's blood in their bodies. Your children's children are just like your children themselves, and they cannot hide in the grass or have children.
Although the children born to your eldest child and the children born to your second child have different fathers, they have the blood you passed down through your children flowing in their bodies. Part of the blood flowing in their bodies is the same, which is the blood you passed down, so they cannot hide in the bushes and have children together.
Some of the children born to your eldest child's children and some of the children born to your second child's children also have some blood inherited from you. They also cannot hide in the grass or have children.
Your oldest child’s child’s child, and your middle child’s child…”
Han Cheng spoke seriously to the eldest senior brother, and gave examples to explain to him what a close person is.
The eldest senior brother sat on the side and listened attentively. At the beginning, he nodded while listening, expressing his understanding of what Han Cheng said.
But later on, the eldest brother was completely confused, his mind was full of "children's children's children", and he was completely dizzy.
Not only him, but the witch next to him was also confused.
Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff slightly when he saw this scene. It seemed that what he said was a little complicated. After thinking about it for a while, he continued to speak, ready to explain the relationship here clearly to the two of them as soon as possible.
"Son of God, don't say anything yet. Let me think about it."
Wu spoke up, fearing that Han Cheng would become even more confused after he spoke.
Han Cheng then closed his mouth and waited quietly for the two of them to comprehend what he had said, which sounded like a tongue twister.
Although Wu is old and his brain works a little slowly, he is still faster than the eldest brother in these matters.
After a while, a look of enlightenment gradually appeared in his eyes. He smiled and nodded to Han Cheng, obviously having figured out the relationship.
As for the eldest brother, he was much slower. He sat there, counting his fingers with his hand, and occasionally stretching out his hand to scratch his head.
After a while, I finally understood what Han Cheng was talking about.
"Son of God, that is to say, anyone with my bloodline is considered a close relative. They cannot hide in the bushes, become spouses, or have children..."
The eldest brother, who had realized the truth, looked at Han Cheng and said with some uncertainty.
Han Cheng thought about it and nodded. What the senior brother said was not bad. In short, that’s it.
But after he nodded, the eldest brother picked up a branch and started writing and drawing on the ground.
Han Cheng stretched his head to take a look. What his second senior brother wrote was not something else, but a series of formulas, a long list of eleven plus eleven.
After calculating for a while, I still couldn't come up with any result.
"Son of God, with so many descendants, how can you tell who has my blood in their bodies in the end?
Especially the descendants who were born after I was gone..."
The witch standing by, inspired by the eldest brother, also thought of a question. That is, according to what Han Cheng said, wouldn't it mean that in the future, many people in the tribe would not be able to have children in the bushes?
He thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he expressed his doubts.
What the eldest brother and the witch said were indeed problems, but such problems did not confuse Han Cheng, because his ancestors, who were his descendants, had also encountered these problems and had provided solutions.
This method is "The kindness of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations."
The more official explanation for this sentence is that a gentleman with noble character and outstanding ability has worked hard to achieve success, and the blessings and fortune he leaves to his descendants will disappear after being consumed by several generations.
However, this sentence can not only be applied to this, but also to clan system, human relations, and marriage between close relatives.
After five generations, the blood of their common ancestor flowing in the bodies of these descendants has become very weak. In this case, even if they get married, there is basically no relationship between them.
It will not violate human ethics.
Things that affect the health of future generations will basically not happen.
In the place where Han Cheng's descendants lived, this kind of relationship was called "out of the five mourning clothes."
People within five generations can basically understand each other because the time intervals are relatively close, and there are long-lived people in the family to tell the stories. Therefore, the things that the eldest brother worries about can be generally avoided.
Of course, it doesn’t matter even if it cannot be completely avoided, because Han Cheng has another way to solve this problem.
To put it simply, this method is very simple, and it is the common seniority ranking method in later generations.
People of the same generation have the same character in the middle of their names, so it is easy to tell who is of the same generation and there will be no mistake.
"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and flowing. Below it is the rivers and mountains, and above it is the sun and stars. In people, it is called Haoran..."
Han Cheng picked up his pen and began to write down Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" on the paper.
From now on, this song of righteousness will belong to their Qingqueluo generation.
The reason why "Song of Righteousness" was chosen as the poem for ranking generations in the tribe was, on the one hand, because Han Ben himself liked this poem very much. When reciting it, he always felt that there was something flowing through his heart, which made him straighten his back involuntarily.
As for the other side...
That is, it is long enough!
There is a song called "Song of Righteousness" with a total of 300 words in the main text. One word represents one generation, so that makes 300 generations.
Nowadays, people in the tribe reach early adulthood and have early children.
But even if we calculate that the average person in Chengdu has children at the age of fifteen, this would add up to a total of four thousand five hundred years over three hundred generations!
It will be enough for the descendants to use for a very long time, so that they don't have to worry about running out of generations and having to continue to pass the generations.
I am really smart to be able to come up with such a good idea.
I really am a role model of considering future generations.
A certain Son of God sat here, looking at the "Song of Righteousness" that he had memorized in front of him, full of admiration, and kept giving thumbs up to his own ideas.
After reciting the "Song of Righteousness" by heart, Han Cheng began to discuss the matter of seniority with Wu and his eldest senior brother.
After a lot of effort, the two finally understood what Han Cheng meant through his explanation.
After figuring out what Han Cheng was talking about, Wu and the eldest senior brother's eyes lit up one after another.
It is indeed a very good idea to include the generation in the name to distinguish them, just as the Son of God said.
As long as you can remember these things that the Son of God called "Song of Righteousness", you can easily tell who belongs to which generation!
After Han Cheng spoke this out and got the unanimous approval of the two, Han Dashenzi began to determine the seniority.
If calculated by age, Han Cheng can be ranked almost in the third generation. Adding the word "you" in the middle of his name, his name becomes the gorgeous Han Youcheng.
However, seniority has never been arranged according to age. Otherwise, in later generations, there wouldn't be a scene where a white-haired old man calls a little kid who has just spoken "grandfather".
In addition, Han Cheng has a unique status in the tribe, so his seniority naturally cannot be ranked too low.
So naturally it should be ranked first, which is the "Tian" generation.
Adding the word "Tian" in the middle of the name, the name becomes the gorgeous Han Tiancheng.
Of course, because this name is a bit too domineering, Han Cheng will rarely use this name in the future. He will still be called Han Cheng on weekdays.
This is equivalent to the fact that in later generations, the name registered in the household registration book is the same as the name commonly used in daily life.
In the entire Qingque tribe, Han Cheng is the only person of the Tian generation.
On the one hand, this is to highlight the uniqueness of his status, and on the other hand, some psychological factors that are difficult to express in words are at work.
As for the names of Wu and the eldest senior brother, they naturally became Handi Wu, Handi Da.
Originally, Han Cheng wanted to change the name of the eldest senior brother to Handi Shi or Handi Xiong, but then he remembered that there was a guy called Second Senior Brother in the tribe, so the eldest senior brother's name became Handi Da, which sounded a bit strange.
As for the second senior brother, it is Han Di Er, and the junior brother Sha is Han Di Sha...
However, like Han Cheng himself, the new names of Wu and Senior Brother are basically not used in daily life. After all, after such a long time, they have become accustomed to calling them by those names.
If he suddenly changed his name and called out, not to mention them, Han Cheng himself would not be used to it.
However, those children who appeared after Han Cheng joined the tribe, those who had not been in the Qingque tribe for a long time, and many people whose presence was not too high, all needed to change their names. Usually, even their daily names needed to be changed...
Of course, Han Cheng classified himself as the Tian generation and Wu and the others as the Di generation, but he had no intention of taking advantage of them.
In the Qingque tribe, he came up with the generational system, the most important purpose of which was to distinguish who belonged to which generation, so that future generations would not be confused.
As for people of lower seniority, they need to call people of higher seniority as uncle, aunt, grandfather, or great-grandfather. He will not tell the people in the tribe about this now, so naturally he does not have to worry that the witch or the eldest senior brother will call him uncle.
"Son of God, why can't people with the same bloodline in their bodies hide in the bushes and have children together?"
After the three of them talked for a while about seniority and certain things that cannot be done between close people, Wu spoke up and asked Han Cheng.
He had been thinking about this for quite some time, and he felt as if he understood something, but he just couldn't figure out what it was.
"Children born to people with the same bloodline are more likely to get sick, and many babies are difficult to raise. Even if many children can be raised, many of them are prone to disabilities.
If a tribe always reproduces among relatives, then after a long time, even if there are no people from other tribes attacking and there is plenty of food, it will still be easy to perish..."
Han Cheng is here to provide scientific knowledge to Wu and his senior brother.
Then he gave an example: "For example, our tribe often held happy gatherings before..."
“Oh~!”
The witch acted as if something suddenly dawned on her.
No wonder he always felt that this matter was very familiar. He seemed to know something about it, but just couldn't remember it.
So that's how it is!
Whenever something is related to illness or the life and death of people in the tribe, the witch will immediately take it seriously, just like when Han Chengcai came to the Qingque tribe and promoted to the witches to drink hot water and wash hands and take baths frequently.
Although he had already paid enough attention to what Han Cheng said about establishing a surname in the tribe, preventing close relatives from hiding in the bushes, and giving birth to children before Han Cheng said these things, after Han Cheng said these things, the witch still secretly raised the matter to a higher level in his heart.
The three of them talked here for a while and finalized some details before these things were finally settled.
After deciding these things, almost a morning had passed.
After lunch, Han Cheng began to call some core and backbone members of the tribe to hold an expanded meeting.
Lame, Heiwa, Tietou, Ruhua, Yuan, Gu, Dou and others are all on the list.
This time it took a long time again.
After all, explaining to many people takes more time than explaining to a few people.
Fortunately, among the people who participated in these events, many of them were the type who believed whatever Han Cheng, the Son of God, said and would never ask more questions. Otherwise, it would probably take even longer.
After finishing these things, Han Cheng held another meeting in the blue brick and tile house at night.
Among those who participated in the meeting this time, twenty-seven were leaders of the former Green Bird Alliance who had just joined the tribe.
Among them, the original leader of the Bear Tribe did not come to his own tribe, so Xiong Er temporarily acted as the leader.
After Han Cheng recruited these people, he first told them about the surname. In his words, he naturally talked about the advantages of the surname...
