What is "Chiyou"? Why did the Yellow Emperor exterminate them?

Chiyou is not a person at all, but the unified nickname of the Yanhuang tribe for the Jiuli clan who moved out!

The battle of Zhuolu should be a battle between Yanhuang tribe and Jiuli clan for territorial resources.

Jiuli nationality should be a Miao nationality in ancient Sichuan. They live in Chengdu Plain, and Sanxingdui site should be the witness of their life. They took the lead in inventing bronzes and learned to slash and burn. Compared with nomadic tribes in Yanhuang, they have been transformed into farming tribes.

However, emergencies, major earthquakes or mudslides have made them lose the land on which to live. In order to survive, they embarked on a journey away from home.

All the way south, I finally arrived at Zhuolu, where the weather is sunny, the land is flat and people are tired, so I decided to live and work here.

They set fire to grass, reclaimed wasteland, planted hope and waited for happiness.

But the Yellow Emperor quit here!

This place is left by our ancestors, who have been herding horses and sheep here for generations. Now, this rich aquatic plant has been destroyed by your fire!

Is there justice? !

The Yellow Emperor saluted the soldiers first and sent people to negotiate several times. "This place belongs to us and is inviolable. I hope you leave quickly! "

Jiuli people shook their heads and ignored them. "Joke, we worked so hard to find this place, and it took us a lot of effort to sow the seeds, so you came to drive us away. There is no way! "

The messenger came back and told the Yellow Emperor, "These people are so unreasonable!"

The Yellow Emperor approached him and wanted to talk to the leader of Jiuli with reason. However, he told a laundry list of reasons and his tired mouth was dry and dry. People just tilted their necks and shook their heads lovingly, which made the Yellow Emperor unbearable and pointed at his nose and angrily scolded, "You human-god! One day you will pay for it! "

Chiyou cursed by the Yellow Emperor should mean "one track-minded" or "ignorant" at present.

When it comes to literary interpretation, "country" means stupidity and simplicity, "being" means being very, very ignorant.

This is obviously condemning him or insulting him!

However, this swearing word is actually used by people of Huangdi tribe to address Jiuli people!

Just as people in the Central Plains later called southerners "barbarians", it was obviously contemptuous.

However, "Chiyou" is similar to "barbarian", perhaps in later generations, the "barbarian" scolded by the Yellow Emperor was mistakenly written as "Chiyou", thus becoming the exclusive title of the head of Jiuli clan.

So far, who can tell?

Real history, no textual research!
