Bó people who mysteriously disappeared, what did they experience and why did they disappear?
Bo people are an ancient nation in China, and later people call them Bo people. It is a nation that has appeared since the pre-Qin period. We can see from Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals that the people of Bohai once followed Zhou Wuwang, and because of their great achievements, their leader was also named "Hou Bo". It is precisely because of this that the Gelao people have established their own "country": the Gelao people's country in southern Sichuan and northeastern Yunnan.
This is recorded in the county annals of Gongxian County, Sichuan Province: it was conquered by foreigners in the southwest, Qin destroyed the family, and Bo people lived here, otherwise known as Bo country.
It can be seen that the Gelao nationality appeared very early in the history of our country, but such a famous nation later disappeared for no reason. But about their customs and some old things, the information they were left behind, so we can know something about them.
It is said that there is a Gelao nationality in Qiubei County now, and they have a very strange custom, that is, the custom of beating their teeth, that is, knocking them out. Why is this happening? It is also for the convenience of life. Many places where they live have miasma. If they are infected with miasma, they will bite their teeth and it is quite inconvenient to take medicine. But because the tooth was knocked out, it is convenient to fill the medicine. Is it special?
However, neighboring ethnic groups will not call this place Bo, but "Bahai". However, their customs are still very interesting, especially in funerals. People are used to burial.
They have no ancestral graves or wooden coffins, and when the deceased lay dying, they would be covered with busts cut by the patriarch with thin copper sheets.
Their eyes, nose and mouth are called "taking spirits", and the thin copper piece is the "soul piece". The blood of the fingertips of the descendants of the deceased is dripped on the copper piece, which means "flesh and blood are connected". However, this piece of copper will eventually be taken down and handed over to the ancestor during the ancestor worship, thus completing the ceremony of "ancestor".
Moreover, in Bo people's homes, every household has a "ancestral coffin", which is a cylindrical coffin carved from cherry trees, and it has been suspended from cutting down trees to fetching materials. The bronze medal left by the deceased was finally put into this hanging coffin, which was managed by the patriarch.
When the Gelao people worship their ancestors, the whole family, old and young, will get together, and then the patriarch will put the offerings under their ancestors' coffins and count the soul films in the coffins in public to verify whether there are fewer or more people inside. Finally, the patriarch will wash the soul block and put it back in the ancestral coffin after "washing the soul".
This is the mysterious theory of Bo people, but later such a nation disappeared. It is said that there has been no record of bloggers since the Qing Dynasty. As for why, no one ever knows why.
This is a world-famous mysterious nation, but unfortunately it can't be traced back now.
Of course, in addition to our country, other countries also have such a mysterious nation. For example, the Tasmanians in Australia, a tragic nation that was later wiped out by the whole nation, still have some stories to tell.
According to records, Tasmanians came to Tasmania over 40,000 years ago. They lived an aboriginal life on the island until the British came to the island.
Of course, it is nothing special to say that Tasmanians are just an indigenous people wiped out by Britain. But some things about them are very interesting, at least until now no one can solve the secret.
This starts with the autopsy of the last pure Tasmanian after death. At that time, people found an interesting problem, that is, Tasmania effect. What do you mean? In the study of human body, it is found that the technical level in some fields will be locked and retrogressed without external technical input and because the population is too small.
This effect has just appeared in Tasmanians. Tasmanians have been living a quiet and full life, and it is reasonable to say that they should develop a certain scientific and technological life with the passage of time. But the problem is that their civilization is very low and they have almost no ability to make basic tools. So they all use spears or axes tied to wooden sticks with stones that have been used by tens of thousands of predecessors.
Is this curiosity? How can Tasmanians live a life of extinction, a skill that humans have used for tens of thousands of years? Don't worry, it's not that they have no ability to make tools, but that their descendants have gradually forgotten this technology because of the passage of time.
In other words, Tasmanians have the ability to develop skills, but at the same time they also have the ability to forget, or the instinct of mental degradation. For example, archaeologists found traces of sewing on the fur clothes of early Tasmanians. But when the British came to the island, the clothes they wore were only tied with animal skins and even exposed directly.
Not only that, Tasmania is originally bounded by the sea, so it is natural to make a living by fishing. In the earliest days, they fished with harpoons and hooks. But before it disappeared, it completely stopped fishing and only ate shellfish. Has this forgotten the ability to fish or is it no longer used?
Because of this, Tasmanians have always been a mystery. It is true that they are indigenous, but their evolution and extinction all illustrate a problem: instead of making progress, they are in a state of degradation. Probably because of this, they will be wiped out by the British.
In fact, people like Bo and Tasmania. Their mystery is not easy to be solved by future generations. After all, after a long time, the information left is limited and there is nowhere to verify it. However, there are many such peoples in the world. It's just that in our country, too many nationalities have left a brilliant stroke, but later generations can't get close to it and understand it.
This is history, and its secrets make us speechless.
