(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 to 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.
自己才过来的时候,整个青雀部落,哪怕是加上自己这个从天而降的神子,也不过是只有几十个人,如今十年多的时间过去了,自己部落已经有了三千多人!
再一个十年过后,自己部落的人口,又将会达到什么样的规模呢?
随着其余部落的不断加入,自己部落的不断发展,到时间为韩氏的人,在部落里一定达不到如今的这种将近为总人口一半的规模。
在想通了这个事情之后,韩成一下子就觉得霍然开朗了起来,之前一直在纠结的事情,此时也不觉得纠结了。
他开始动笔,飞速的在纸上写了起来。
熊部落,就为熊氏,狐部落就为胡氏。
之所以会将之改为这个胡,一方面是韩成觉得用这个狐当作姓不太好,总是让人不由自主的与狐狸精这些联系到一起。
另外一方面就是习惯使然了。
至于鼠部落……
恕他才疏学浅,坐在这里咬着笔杆子想了老半天,愣是没有想到后世有姓‘shu’这个音节的姓氏的。
所以想了老半天之后,韩成也就放弃了对鼠部落的治疗,直接大笔一挥,给鼠部落对应的位置上写上了‘鼠’这是氏。
一番有些脑洞大开操作之后,包括青雀部落的老人手在内的人,都有了自己姓氏。
不过,习惯了姓氏合一的韩成,看着纸张上面写的氏,觉得有些不太习惯,很是别扭。
希望到了后来,自己部落也能实现姓氏合一。
韩成拿着纸张这样想着。
因为姓氏合一,是一个族群发展到一定程度之后的产物。
能够做到姓氏合一,说明青雀部落那个时候已经成为了一个大部落。
或许单纯的用大部落来称呼已经不合适,应该称呼为青雀国,或者是大青。
当然,这个青是没有三点水的那个青,而不是那个‘清风不识字,何故乱翻书’的,我大清的清。
将这些事情定下,韩成站在这里使劲的伸了几个懒腰,随后就拿着这纸张去找巫以及大师兄,对他们说这件事情。
等到将此事告知了他们两人,让他们两个没有了什么疑惑,韩成就会进一步将这个会议进行扩大,召集到更多的人,将此事告知。
“神子,为啥不将他们打乱,就跟之前的时候一样?为啥要用这个东西进行区分?”
在听韩成说了这事情之后,大师兄仔细思索了一会儿也没有想出这里面的道理所在,就一脸茫然的开了口,向韩成这个神子寻求答案。
坐在旁边的巫,没有立刻说话,而是面露一些思索之色,在努力的想着韩成这种举措的意义。
对于这些,他有着一些很是模糊的概念,隐隐约约能够感知到一点东西,但具体是什么,又说不清楚。
听到大师兄的问话之后,韩老师立刻上线:“这是因为,两个很亲近的人之间,是不能在一起钻草丛,并生下孩子的。”
大师兄顿时一愣,眼中神情变得更加疑惑,疑惑之中,还带着一些担忧。
因为他不仅仅和他的亲近之人钻了草丛,还生下了孩子,其中有的孩子已经成年,并且也跟其余的一些人生下了孩子。
现在神子却这样说……
他忙将这些话告诉了神子。
听到了大师兄的话之后,韩成忍不住的一愣,大师兄这是德国骨科了?
将心里的一些诧异压下去之后,韩成开始向大师兄询问了一些事情。
这样过了一会儿、了解了更多的一些情况之后,韩成忍不住的长长了出了一口气。
弄了半天,原来不是自己所担心的德国骨科这些,而是大师兄理解错了自己的意思。
自己所说的亲密关系,指的是兄弟姐妹这些,而大师兄觉得,亲近之人就是他的配偶。
所以才闹出来了这样的误会。
韩成笑着对大师兄摇头,示意他不要紧张:“我说的亲近之人,跟你想的亲近之人不一样,就比如你和你的配偶一共生出来了十一个孩子,这些孩子身体里都流淌有你的血脉,你的这些孩子之间就是属于亲近之人,他们之间就是不能钻草丛生孩子。
你的孩子生下了孩子,这些孩子的身子里面,有你孩子的血脉,你孩子的孩子之间,如同你的孩子他们之间一样,同样不能钻草丛,也不能生孩子。
你大孩子所生的孩子,和你二孩子所生的孩子之间,虽然父亲不一样,但是他们的身体里流淌有你通过你的孩子而传承下去的血脉,他们身体里流淌的一部分血脉是相同的,都是你流传下去的血脉,所以他们之间也是不能钻草丛和生孩子的。
你大孩子的孩子所生的一些孩子,与你二孩子的孩子所生的一些孩子之间,同样有从你这里继承下去的一些血脉,他们之间也一样不能钻草丛,不能生孩子。
你大孩子的孩子的孩子的孩子,与你二孩子的孩子……”
韩成一本正经的对大师兄说道,并进行举例说明,告诉他什么是亲近之人。
大师兄坐在一边认认真真的听着,一开始的时候,还一边听一边点头,对韩成所说的这些事情表示理解。
但是,到了后来,大师兄直接就是一脸的懵圈了,满脑子都是‘孩子的孩子的孩子’,整个人都被绕晕了。
不仅仅是他,一旁的巫也一样被绕的晕乎乎的。
韩成见到这一幕,不由的微微吸吸鼻子,看起来是自己说的是有些复杂了,稍微想了想之后,就接着开口,准备尽快能清楚的给他们两个说清楚这里面的关系。
“神子,先、先别说,让我想想。”
巫出声说道,怕韩成开口之后,将他绕的更晕。
韩成也就顺势闭上了嘴,静静的等待着两人参悟透自己所说的这一番如同绕口令一般的话。
巫虽然年纪大了,脑子转的有些慢,但是在这些事情上,还是要比大师兄转的快。
这样过了一阵儿,他眼中渐渐的露出了明悟之色,笑的对韩成点了点头,显然是已经捋清楚了这其中的关系。
至于大师兄,就慢多了,他坐在这里,伸手不住的数着自己手指头,不时还伸出手,在自己的脑袋上挠挠。
这样又过了一阵儿,才大约的明白韩成所说的这些东西。
“神子,就,就是说只要有我血脉的人,都算是亲近的人,他们之间都不能钻草丛,成为配偶和生孩子……”
明悟了的大师兄看着韩成,带着一些不太确定的说道。
韩成想了想,便点了点头,大师兄说的并不差,简而言之就是这样。
却不想他点头之后,大师兄拿起一根树枝开始在地上写写画画起来。
韩成伸头看了看,二师兄写的不是别的东西,而是一系列的算式,一长串的十一加十一。
这样算了一阵儿,也没有算出结果来。
“神子,这、这么多的后代,到了后来,咋能分清谁的身体里留有我的血脉?
特别是我不在了之后,出生的那些后代……”
一旁的巫,受到大师兄的启发,也想到了一个问题,那就是按照韩成这样的说道,那岂不是等到了之后,部落里的许多人之间都没有办法钻草丛生孩子了?
他想了想没有想明白,就也将自己的这个疑惑说了出来。
大师兄和巫说的,确实是问题,不过,这样的问题并难为不住韩成,因为针对这些问题,相对于他的后世而言的先人们,同样遇到过,并且给出了解决的办法。
这个办法就是‘君子之泽,五世而斩。’
对于这句话,比较官方的解释就是,一个品行高尚、能力出众的君子,辛辛苦苦成就了事业,留给后代的恩惠福禄,经过几代人的消耗,就已经尽数消失了。
不过这句话,不仅仅可以用到这个上面,还可以用到宗法,或者是人伦、近亲结婚上面。
经过五世之后,这些后人身体里所流淌的共同先祖的血脉已经很淡很淡了,在这样的情况下,彼此之间就算是成亲,基本上也没有什么关系了。
不会违背人伦。
影响后代健康的事情,基本也不会发生。
在韩成后世所生活的地方,这种关系被称为‘出五服’。
五世之内的人,因为时间间隔的比较近,再加上家中有着长寿的人进行诉说,基本上是能够知道彼此的,所以大师兄说担忧的事情,大致上是能够避免的。
当然,就算是不能完全避免也没有关系,因为韩成还有一个办法,来解决这个问题。
这个办法说白了很简单,就是后世常见的排辈。
同辈人名字的中间,有着一个相同的字,这样以来,谁跟谁是一辈的,就能够变得一目了然,不会弄错了。
“天地有正气,杂然赋流形。下则为河岳,上则为日星。于人曰浩然……”
韩成执笔在纸张之上开始默写文天祥的《正气歌》。
从今之后,这正气歌就是他们青雀落的辈分了。
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 adulthood early and have children early.
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 close 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...
