Where does Zhongzhou in Kyushu mean? Where is Bedigo, the Nanman in Dongyi Xirong?
Shang Gong divided the world into "Kyushu", and Yuzhou ranked among the Kyushu in the world, so it was called Zhongzhou, also known as "Central Plains". It refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River with Luoyang to Kaifeng as the center, and in a narrow sense, it refers to today's Henan Province. The Central Plains, which originally meant "Yuan Ye under heaven", is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the cradle of the Chinese nation, and is regarded as the center of the world. With the great integration of the Chinese nation and the expansion of the Central Plains civilization, the Central Plains region gradually spread outward, expanding the communication between the Han nationality and all ethnic groups with the Central Plains culture as the core. The reason why the Chinese nation with relatively advanced culture is called China is because it is different from overflowing. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "he who wins the Central Plains wins the world", so the idiom "competing for the Central Plains" came into being later. The ethnic groups with low culture near the Central Plains are generally called Siyi, namely Dongyi, Nanman, Beidi and Xirong.
The Central Plains is the region with the most dynasties, the longest history and the most ancient capitals in China. China's 5,000-year history of civilization began with the Yellow Emperor, who defeated Emperor Yan and Chiyou and founded the country in Heluo. The nature of the country is actually a kind of "federalism", which consists of many vassal States. There are many countries in the Central Plains region with Heluo as the center and the land of four barbarians, and the leaders of various countries and tribal alliances respect the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains as the emperor, which is equivalent to the supreme leader of all alliances. After the Yellow Emperor, Zhuan Xu, Yao, Shun and Yu still lived in the Central Plains and became the leaders of the world alliance. Since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there have been more than 20 dynasties, and more than 300 emperors built or moved their capitals here.
Compared with the original statement, the surrounding tribes are relatively backward, collectively known as Siyi. The Book of Rites says: "There are foreigners in the east, Rong in the west, barbarians in the south and Di in the north."
"Yi" is tattooed in the east, and some people don't have to eat it with fire.
In Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Dongyi was regarded as the general name of the residents in the lower reaches of the Yellow River basin. Distributed in Anhui Province, Shandong Province and Jiangsu Province. The Central Plains is relatively backward, so they are too lazy to comb their hair and tie it up. Most of them are long hair, most of them like tattoos, and even some tribes are raw eaters who can't use fire. In the process of hegemony and merger in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the differences between Yi and Xia gradually disappeared. When Qin unified the six countries, "Huai, Si and Yi all dispersed into civilian households", and Dongyi became a part of China. After Qin and Han Dynasties, Dongyi refers to foreigners living in the Korean Peninsula, Japanese Islands and Ryukyu Islands east of China.
In the south, they are called "savages", and others don't eat with fire.
Nanman is a general term for all ethnic groups south of the Yangtze River, not only referring to Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. Most of them have tattoos on their foreheads and like to sit cross-legged on the floor. Some tribes also eat raw food.
The word "Na Man" originally refers to the tribes in the south. The word "people" originally had no meaning of praise or criticism, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties it smelled of ethnic discrimination. "Savage" means savage, and Man Zi represents a savage nation. "Nanman" is the name of Nuzhen, Mongolia and Manchu for Han people, and it is also the name of Junggar people for Manchu.
The west calls it "glory", and some people don't eat it.
Xirong is the collective name of ancient China people for ethnic minorities in the west, that is, Rong is the collective name for all non-China ethnic groups in the west. Without Xirong, there would be no later Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. In the 11th year of Zhou Youwang, Xirong Dog and Empress Shen jointly attacked and killed Zhou Youwang, forcing Zhou to move eastward. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began and lasted for hundreds of years.
Xirong can also refer to a country established by some Xirong people during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They have long hair, mainly hunting, wearing animal skins, and they don't plow or plant, so they don't eat food. Qin Mugong was unable to dominate the Central Plains after repeated wars and defeats with the State of Jin, so he moved the capital to Xirong, which made more than 20 countries in Xirong bow to their knees, laid the foundation for Qin to unify the world after 400 years, and gradually integrated Xirong into the Chinese nation.
The north is called "Di", who lives in caves with clothes and feathers, and people who don't eat grains.
Today, there are many powerful tribes in northern Shaanxi and north-central Shanxi and Hebei provinces, which are a threat to the summer in the Central Plains. These tribes are called Di, and they are also called Beidi because of their geographical location.
The northern emperors wore feathers and lived in caves. Some of their tribes don't cultivate, plant or eat food. Roughly distributed in the present Shaanxi area and southeastern Shanxi area.
