Chapter 85: The collision of Patriarchal and Matriarchal
One woman was sneering
This woman gave him a very deep impression. Other Awu Tribe women saw him, and generally showed a look of awe, gratitude or love, but only this woman saw him and she was faceless every time, the last time she gave her a diagnosis, confirmed her there was a parasite, and she was given a drug to fight insects. She did not say anything to thank him.
As a result, the woman did not find him afterwards, and he could not determine whether the parasite in her stomach was cleared.
In addition to this woman, The Awu Tribe has more or less parasites, especially children, which of course has a lot to do with their eating habits.
Yan Mo doesn't mean that he wants the woman to thank him, but the cold and so-called even ironic face of the other person makes him feel very uncomfortable.
The age of women is the oldest among all women, but Yan Mo knows that the other party is at least thirty and a half.
Thirty and a half... This is almost the age of death in the primitive society.
But the woman is different from other Awu Tribe women. She cleans herself up very well, and her hair is as dull as she is, but she tied it behind her head with a rope. The two sides of her face are also specially left with two hairs. She was very clean, the animal skin looks very neat.
The woman is very tall. The visual observation you can see she is about one meter and seventy-five. The curve is hidden under the animal skin, but the two slender legs are still very eye-catching.
Although the woman is older, there are still many men who are interested in her and want to live with her, but the woman has not promised anyone. She seems to have no fixed relationship with her male partner, even the children she had are raising themselves. But those men and tribes are helping her raise her children.
"Sha Lang, what are your plans?" The woman even gave herself such a masculine name.
Her original name was "WOLF KILLER". He heard that when she was a woman and he hanged her to "SANDY GEM" directly, but the woman later ran to find him for this purpose, saying that she would be called "WOLF KILLER." She did not want to be called "SAND GEM".
1].... “杀 狼”=Sha Lang
“沙琅”=Sha Lang.... Both these characters are spelled the same but are written differently in the first group Sha means kill that's why you hear a lot of Chinese drama emperors screaming Wo Sha la ni..... I kill you...lovely huh...the Lang means wolf so Sha Lang means Kill Wolf or Wolf Killer..... The second group Sha means gem and the Lang means sand....so gem sand or sandy gem.....I'm not #Chinese
Yan Mo advised her that it is not good to use "kill" in her name, and it will have an impact on the child's future name.
He doesn't know if it was about the child. The woman finally reluctantly agreed to replace the "kill" with "sand", but the "wolf" she refused to change.
1]....So she exchanged the Sha form the one meaning kill to the one meaning sand....so she ended up being called Sand Wolf or Sandy wolf ....wolf sand doesn't have any taste.....
So there was a female Sha Lang in the tribe.
Sha Lang lifted her eyelids, and spoke with a dry language simple and cold: "Priest Da Ren, you decided for all."
Ah? Listening to this tone is not like someone who was letting him decide everything. It is similar to the irony and resentful meaning of "XX, have you decided to help others?"
Yan Mo gently tapped the table to think, where did he offend the woman, or did his approach arouse the disgust of the individual The Awu Tribe?
Sure enough, no one can win everyone's love, even if he pays more attention to them.
But he can't therefore blame Sha Lang for this. Instead he has to figure out the crux.
"Do you really want me to help you decide? If you really think so, I will decided." Yan Mo showed a warm smile on the signboard. He didn't argue with the woman whether he had completely controlled the Awu Tribe in disguise and even controlled their thoughts are because of the facts.
Sha Lang took a deep breath, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to express it correctly. She suddenly pushed the person around her and walked around the wooden table until she walked to Yan Mo.
Her behavior made the two guards wary, and one of the guards reached out and pushed her away.
Yan Mo raised his hand and stopped looking at the woman.
Sha Lang pointed to his forehead and stiffly said: "Touch me, listen to me."
Yan Mo shook his head. "No, you said, I will understand what you mean, not to mention Jiu Yuan."
But the woman mastered Awu language there are not many words from Jiu Yuan language, or the Awu Tribe language itself is not rich. One sentence is often used to make the connection of the necessary vocabulary, which makes the woman speak very stiff.
Sha Lang saw that Yan Mo did not have to touch her forehead, she stepped back, back to the front of the crowd, spoke with mingled Jiu Yuan language and Awu Tribe and whispered: "Why, women should follow man?"
1].....why patrilineal and not matrilineal
This question is to say that Sha Lang thinks men should also follow a woman?
Yan Mo also found that The Awu Tribe is in the process of maternal and patriarchal alternation. The small tribes have both fathers and mothers, and mothers are mostly monogamous with family of husbands.
Yan Mo knocked on his knees. How would he answer? Is it said that he is only doing things according to the inertia of the patriarchal society? Did he unconsciously meant that the matriarchal clan is not suitable for the world development process? Is it inevitable that the patrilineal clan with muscles is in a dominant position?
The problem with Sha Lang and the troubles that have occurred today have also alerted Yan Mo. His starting point may be good, but the leap is too big and is likely to make the primitives of this era unacceptable.
There is also his understanding and arrangement of women. He seems to have made them think that he despised these primitive women from the bottom of his heart. Only when they are weak, they forget that they may not have enough force, but the nature has not been poisoned by feudal ideas such as "female virtues". Nor did they psychologically place themselves in the position of a man. On the contrary, many primitive women were even more tough in their attitudes and personalities than men because of their motherhood experiences
His approach is wrong.
Although he has already paid attention not to let the male power appear very heavy in the system, whether it is a member of the adjudication group or monogamy, in fact, the status of men has been increased in disguise, so that women are more in the auxiliary and subsidiary status.
Although he did not intend to do so. What's more, who says patriarchal society must be the right direction for development? The historical process of the original world can be used for reference, but it is not absolutely correct.
Maybe he can consciously make both parent and patriarchy equal, so that the two can develop in balance?
His purpose is not to dominate the world, he is not a masculine mania Otherwise, The Nine Rules would not be formed. He just wants to subtract SCUM VALUE and create a good living environment for his future children and him.
In this case, will consciously improve the status of women will reduce SCUM VALUE more? Will the social composition of both parental and patriarchal rights and complement each other be better for his children? After all, he doesn't know whether his child is a man or a woman when he comes to the world. If it is a girl, if the woman's status is not high, then Dudu will not suffer a big loss?
And it seems to be more interesting to do this, isn't it?
Yan Mo suddenly had a sense of excitement, so it seems to be an experiment, and the subject is more than one person, but the entire tribe, the whole country, and even the whole world!
“Quiet...” Yan Mo exhaled and looked at Sha Lang with a sincere smile. “Thank you, you make me awake, and let me realize what I did wrong. You are very good!”
Sha Lang face suddenly went from cold and ironic turned into blushing red. She did not expect Priest Da Ren to thank her. Even when Priest Da Ren refused to touch her forehead, she already had a terrible expectation that she would be expelled from the tribe.
But why should Priest Da Ren thank her? What did she say? Didn't she just ask a question?
Sha Lang's confusion is also the confusion of all the presence of The Awu Tribe. No one knows why Priest Da Ren suddenly thanked Sha Lang, who thought that Priest Da Ren would punish her.
Duo Fei hid behind the crowd and watched the developments. Sha Lang questions made her heart secretly happy. The tribe did not listen to the words of Little Priest.
"Tell me, what problems do you have, I will explain them later." Yan Mo is gentle and authentic.
Sha Lang was determined to look at the young white hair and vicissitudes of Priest Da Ren. She suddenly felt ashamed. Priest Da Ren has been helping them, even giving his life to bless them, but she is because The outsider is always full of rejection. Maybe she did something wrong?
Shame was shy, but the question she had was clearly asked, Sha Lang clenched his hands and threw out a second question: "Women can also go hunting, Meng Da Ren teaches men, does not teach women, women listen to you, Spinning, cooking, taking children, why?” The
third question: “Children, women born them children follow father’s surname, why?”
Duo Fei grinned, Sha Lang asked these questions in a simple and funny way, women did not follow their father’s surname Who is the surname are they gonna follow then? Women don't cook or make clothes, do you want men to do it?
Sha Lang's three fundamental questions about The Awu Tribe and the aggressiveness of Priest made The Awu Tribe feel a mess.
The Old Tribe Priest whispered low tp Sha Lang and intended on shutting her up.
Sha Lang wasn't so polite to Yan Mo or The Old Tribe Priest. He looked at The Old Tribe Priest on the spot and said, "You don't threatened me, you shut up!"
The Old Tribe Priest was trembling. Since everyone started to follow The Little Priest to learn the language, there are many more vocabulary words that people can usually use, especially if they are speaking fast. Priest doesn't say that The First Chief and Meng are picking up people but there are no taboos.
Sha Lang’s attitude towards The Old Tribe Priest did not make Yan Mo wonder. After Sha Lang impressed him, he also inquired about something about her. Sha Lang is said to be the woman who has the most children and lived the longest time in Awu Tribe, but most of her children were taken by The Old Tribe Priest to sacrifice to the gods or Jiu Feng, and some are eaten by... The Awu Tribe's esteemed Old Tribe Priest. So he can not so dare to lean on the old age in front of her, she hates him and whi can blame her.
From this point of view, her status in the Awu Tribe women may indeed be a little higher than men, almost the same as Tribe Chief, witch, woman, man, child, old man.
At present, Sha Lang has only one child. He is not smart when he is in class, but he is very courageous and very aggressive. He only dares to fight with the older children when he is five or six years old.
Yan Mo understands her mood. If Dudu is sacrificed someone in thus life, he will probably dissect the person who took his child for a hundred years!
So he didn't stop and blame her for being disrespectful to The Old Tribe Priest, just to see her and giving The Old Tribe Priest's expression a dry shoulder before pulling her attention back.
“Only these three questions?”
Sha Lang’s attention immediately retracted. “Yes, Da Ren.”
Yan Mo laughed, rare, and she could call him Da Ren.
"So, let me explain your problem one by one. First of all, about the child's following to the father's surname, I think you and some of the tribes may have misunderstood. No rules issued by the tribe require the child to follow the father's surname. For example, Does Sa Yu not follow his mother Sa Yun's surname?"
Sa Yun came and said: "Actually, I am following my child's last name."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the field became a lot easier.
"Da Ren, then, let the child follow the mother's surname!" Sha Lang said immediately.
Oh, this is a smart woman, Yan Mo laughed. She may not understand the long-term effects and consequences of the child following the father's surname, but her sensitivity is enough to make her discover what is best for women.
So is there a need to enact this rule?
But once the child follows the mother's surname, then does the man have to take the form of "into the twilight"? Is the inheritance of the family also handed over to women?
If you do not respect the patriarchal power, then do you have to respect the matriarchal power?
In the distance, Yuan Zhan and a few warriors walked quickly, is there something? Or did this person hear the news coming here specially? Yan Mo waved his hand to Yuan Zhan, indicating that he was okay here.
Yuan Zhan did not stop, but walked faster.
Someone discovered Yuan Zhan, and soon The Awu Tribe saluted Yuan Zhan and gave way.
Yan Mo was a bit embarrassed, these people seem to be more afraid of Yuan Zhan, not afraid of him. Should he be a little colder?
Forget it, in order to reduce SCUM VALUE, he thinks that appealing cold is also a problem.
Yuan Zhan walked to Yan Mo and noticed that he didn't touch him. Instead, he stood next to him like he was supporting him.
The appearance of Yuan Zhan also really made everyone a lot more calmer, even Sha Lang's face was a bit whitish. Priest Da Ren won't kill her, what about Chief Da Ren?
Yan Mo didn't let Yuan Zhan leave, and what he said would let the other party listen.
"It’s good to have a mother’s surname or a father’s surname. The ancestors want us to remember that we are all Jiu Yuan tribes, Jiu Yuan is our first surname. For example, I am Jiu Yuan Yan Mo, and you are Sha Lang of Jiu Yuan.” Yan Mo took the opportunity to deepen their sense of belonging to the tribe and pull them out of the tribes of the tribe and family, so that they began to have the concept of “state”.
"If you want your child to be surnamed, you can discuss it with your husband and wife. If there are more children, I think this is not a problem. The tribe will not impose a strict rule. Can you accept this?" As for the issue of inheritance rights, later the tribal private property will change more, then use the examples to slowly explain and instill better for them.
Sha Lang and the tribes looked at each other. One person began to nod and everyone nodded.
Yan Mo erected two fingers. "A second question, why don't I let the warrior Meng teach women hunting skills, but only make women spin the linen, make food and raise children? Sha Lang, do you think doing that for the tribe? Is such a decision unfair, and it makes you feel that the status of men and women is unequal?”
Sha Lang seized the keyword, “equality? Status?”
“Yes, equality and status.” Yan Mo patiently explained to her that the contents of these explanations were not only said to her, and also to other The Awu Tribe.
"Equality, just like what you ask, what a man does, a woman can do it and vice versa. But have you ever thought that a man like Da Ze can carry a hundred pounds of stone at a time, a woman can't? If I asked Da Ze to move the stones. Does the woman have to go do that too?” many women were shaking their heads.
"Similarly, a woman who conceives a child and a child will take care of her. She will not let her do heavy work during pregnancy and after childbirth. Then, in order to be equal, should we let women go out to work?"
Sha Lang licked her lips. Then, feeling the injustice she said: "Men can not bear children this is not..."
"Is it not fair? So equality sometimes does not mean fairness for all" Yan Mo left time for everyone to understand this sentence.
Duo Fei's face changed slightly. Why did this Little Priest speak differently from her childhood education? Her father, Her Priest, her instructor, everyone will only tell her what the woman, the Princess should do, and not tell her why.
Yan Mo pays attention to everyone's expression and then says: "Sha Lang, I understand your thoughts and grievances, but I arrange for everyone to do things according to their strengths, not do something because you are a woman. Sha Lang, you are very strong, you will become a good warrior after training, but not all women are like you. If I make women train with men and go hunting, it is unfair to women. "
Yan Mo here added." but you reminded me, Jiu Yuan Tribe people are naturally different from other tribes, our women are strong, if not all can become soldiers, but they also must have the ability to protect themselves so starting tomorrow, I will let Wu Chen teach you how to protect yourself and how to exercise properly. I hope that there will be several female warriors in the tribe.”
Awu Tribe’s faces glazed instantly, Priest Da Ren said. They are different from women of other tribes, they are also strong!
Sha Lang is also excited enough to clench her fists. She was wrong. Priest Da Ren is not the same as The Old Tribe Priest. He is totally different!
Duo Fei slowly lowered her head, can the woman be strong? Then why does her father always say he wanted a son?
Yan Mo put up three fingers. "The third question, why do women have to go with men? I think everyone misunderstood this. The rules do not require women to have to go with men, just like the child's surname, this one only depends on the individual, whoever lives in the house is the same.”
Sha Lang thought for a moment and hesitated to force four words: “Rules, are not good.”
Yan Mo asked gently: “Where is it not good?”
“Lowers women compare to man, not enough, not enough." Sha Lang said this, many of The Awu Tribe's faces showed a agreeing expression, but they did not dare to speak out like Sha Lang.
Yuan Zhan also looked at Yan Mo deliberately. In fact, he also had the same problem. Up to now, he has been vague about the concept of private ownership advocated by Mo, and he does not understand its meaning and benefits, although he explained it to him.
Yan Mo understood the meaning from Sha Lang. "You mean that the tribe rights will be privately owned. In the family, if there is only one man in the family, it will not be easy to support a family. But if there are more men, this family will live very well. Ok, is that the case?”
Sha Lang nodded hard.
Yan Mo swept to the other The Awu Tribe. Obviously everyone has the same idea as Sha Lang, and this is the real reason why most women are willing to have a polyandry.
Primitives may be simple in thinking, but they are not stupid. After understanding the rules, for the sake of survival, they first discovered the disadvantages of the rules after they were implemented.
"I used to have the same thoughts with you." Yan Mo first recognized everyone's thoughts and said: "But the ancestors told me that such an idea is wrong."
All The Awu Tribe looked at him together, why did the gods say this? It's wrong? Doesn't the ancestors want to let everyone eat well?
Yan Mo tried to explain to them in the simplest and most understandable language: "A woman can live with a few men at most? Five, six? Five or six adult men can go out and catch the beast, but if they encounter the herd what should they do with the powerful ferocious beast?"
"And other people..." Ye Xing subconsciously spoke.
Yan Mo smiled and nodded. "Yes, in order to be safe, in order to get more food, people must be together, so the tribe appears to favors polyandry or polygamy is because the living environment is bad, in order to seek more survival chance. But if your tribe can make everyone eat and warm, and women don’t need to go out and go hunting to support themselves, then does she need a lot of men?”
Sha Lang and women stayed silent all together, including Duo Fei, they are learning to think, learn to understand more.
"Furthermore, if the tribe allows polyandry when the woman are scarce, then if there will be more women in the future. Is it necessary to permit polygamy? You may wish to ask yourself, after we can all eat and wear warm, do you really want to share your husband or wife with someone else?”
Yuan Zhan first thought, I absolutely do not want to! He automatically substituted his wife's with his Priest Da Ren. When he thinks that his tempting Priest maybe forced to be shared to other men or women, he wants to KILL!
The expressions of Awu Tribe men and women were gradually changing. Yes, who is really willing to share their man or woman with others? Not at all if not forced! Although some they really want a few more husbands or wives, will my husbands or wives be willing?
Duo Fei is more intuitive, his father has so many women, and those women are filled with resentment, scheming faces, she had enough! If a tribe only allows monogamy, will their children be happier? Is it more pleasing to be a wife to a single man?
Yan Mo looked at the fire almost dying and he finally added a piece of firewood: "Why does the tribe exist? Why did I and The First Chief issue tribal rules? Just because the Jiu Yuan tribe is different from other tribes, our system allows everyone to support themselves. Instead of relying on others to live. In the Jiu Yuan tribe, under the care of the ancestors, our women can become warriors, our men can plough the fields, and the elderly and children can do what they can, including the disabled. The Jiu Yuan tribe is not a pitiful disabled tribe! There are no poor people who need others to support them! Each of us can support ourselves, and we will all be strong! mind or body!”
Yuan Zhan slammed his fist and affirmed with a shout: "The tribe is not pitiful! The people of the Jiu Yuan tribe don't need the mercy of others! We are all strong! Every one is a warrior! No matter the men, women and children!"
"Hey!! Strong! We is strong! We are Jiu Yuan people! "
