After thousands of years of development, the Chinese nation has integrated with each other and finally formed 56 ethnic groups with their own characteristics. The 56 nationalities are indispensable and together form a big family of prosperity and prosperity of the motherland. And there is one ethnic group, they do not belong to the 56 ethnic groups, the ethnic options in the ID card system are dedicated to them, they are wearing green people.
The history of the wearing of green people has been 700 to 800 years, starting from the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were not completely eliminated. The Yungui region was controlled by the Yuan Dynasty's Liang king Valmi, and Zhu Yuanzhang initially wanted to negotiate with him, but Valmi refused to surrender and killed the Ming emissaries. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and sent an army of 300,000 to conquer the Yungui region. Soon Valmi was defeated, and in order to prevent the war from resuming, Zhu Yuanzhang left Mu Ying and 200,000 troops to guard the Yungui area. Many of these soldiers have not returned to their hometowns in their lifetimes, and most of the soldiers have chosen to have offspring with the locals, and the descendants of the soldiers who marry the Tu people in Guizhou are called "natives". These descendants combine the ethnic characteristics of both parents, retaining some of the habits of the Han nationality and some of the customs of the local Turks, and wearing green clothes is one of the local traditional customs, so they are slowly renamed as wearing green people.
The fifth census shows that the population of Qingqing has approached 700,000, which is widely distributed in more than 20 counties in six cities in Guizhou, and more than 200,000 in Zhijin and Nayong counties in Bijie City. The origin of the title of wearing green people has been controversial in history. One theory is that after the founding of New China, the local landlords discussed together, demanded that they be treated as ethnic minorities, and personally proposed the concept of wearing green. The widely accepted theory is that the descendants of Ming Dynasty soldiers and locals slowly evolved into wearing green people. The concept of wearing green has a long history, and evidence can be found in various records. The "Governance of Weining Prefecture" in the Qianlong period, the "Continuation Of Pingxuan Prefecture" in the Guangxu period, and the "Chronicle of Zhenning County" in the Republic of China all recorded the saying of wearing qingqing. The widely circulated "Tale of Shui Xi" put forward the theory of nine kinds of barbarians, that is, nine ethnic minorities such as bai, Miao, and Yi, and the wearing green people are also among them.
Many people think that the people who wear green clothes are Han Chinese, and some of their unique customs make this argument untenable. Historically, the Qing people are indeed related to the Han Chinese, but we cannot ignore his own development process. There is a saying in the green people: the family has a thousand consecutive, half of the male palm, half the female palm. In the wearing of the green people, men and women are completely equal, and the master of the family can be either male or female. Women also had to take on the responsibility of their labor, so they didn't have to suffer the pain of foot binding. For a long time, there has been a strange phenomenon, women are diligent and male children are happy, not that women have no status, because they are treated equally, the status of women wearing green people is very high.
The green-clad people have a unique custom called jumping bodhisattvas. The main purpose of this kind of activity is to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and every year from the ninth month of the lunar calendar to the waxing moon, which brothers and sisters are separated, or make a wish to the bodhisattva, or if there is a disease in the family, the green-clad people in these situations have to participate in the bodhisattva jumping activity. This kind of activity is similar to the ancestor worship of the Han People during the New Year, and reflects the people's wishes and pursuits for a better life. In addition, the green wearer also believes in totems. The green-clad people use the mountain fish as a totem, this creature is a kind of monster in Our mythology and legend, in fact, it is a kind of monkey. Therefore, the green wearers have great respect for the monkey as an animal, and cannot mention the monkey at will in the clan, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful to their beliefs.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Wearing Green People applied to become an independent nation, but due to the complex historical origins and consideration of various factors, this matter has not been conclusive. The green wearers apply to the state, and the state replies to them: Because of the complicated situation, you don't have to worry about not having a belonging and a name, the government will treat the green people as the 57th ethnic group, and directly register the green people on the issue of ID card registration. The people who wear green understand the attitude and intentions of the state, and they do as the state says, as they do not recognize the existence of the nation, and they are no longer entangled in having to list a separate nation.
We often hear the lyrics of 56 ethnic groups, 56 flowers, and it turns out that the wearing green people are our 57th ethnic group. They are also a flower of our Chinese nation, and not becoming the 57th nation does not affect their love of the country and the pursuit of unity at all. In the new era, any nation is a boost to make the motherland more prosperous and strong, as long as all the people have ideals in their hearts, exchanges and unity between nations, and the rise of China is unstoppable.
