Mr. Goyanagi once created an isolated peach blossom garden in his articles. In Taohuayuan, people live in an orderly manner, both materially self-sufficient and have a rich spirit. It may have been out of dissatisfaction with the chaotic social environment of the time that allowed him to create such a small world far away from the world.
Tao Yuanming wrote in the article that the reason why they came to Taohuayuan was to avoid war. This reason sounds a little poignant, but there are some fictional elements in literature, and such things tend to be more cruel when things like this happen in real life. On the distant western continent, it also happened, in order to escape the chaos of war into the mountains. A man hid in the mountains with 17 women, and after generations of reproduction, he founded a country 100 years later.
First, to escape the chaos of war
As Chinese, we know the history of our country very well, and there is the rise and fall of civilization. In the long course of history, wars have existed for a long time. In fact, human history is the same, and war is the main theme of human society. As one of the creatures on earth, human beings have an unavoidable inferiority, that is, fighting.
From ancient times to the present, human beings have been constantly competing, in order to survive, in order to enjoy, everything must be grabbed, scrambled. War has brought great suffering to humanity, both in the East and in the West. In the face of war, different people make different choices. Some people want to escape to a quiet and peaceful place where there is no war, where they spend the rest of their lives, and the death or death of others and the change of dynasties have nothing to do with him.
But there are also people who escape in order to "stay in the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood", and only when people live can they have the hope of restoring the country. Herritos is such a small man on the Western continent. Herritos is a Bulgarian. How did the Bulgarians come about? In the sixth century AD, the Slavs came to the Danube Delta, "Slavic" means glorious and glorious in the Slavic languages, but the Slavs were known as one of the three barbarians in Europe during the Roman Empire.
The Slavs were small in number, but they were brave and warlike and liked to expand their territories. Soon he divided his group into three branches, one to the east, one to the west, and one to the south. The Yugoslavs included the later Bulgarians. After arriving in the Danube Delta, the Slavs used their bravery to defeat the army led by the Byzantine Emperor who had ruled the area.
The Byzantine Empire was not unable to lose, so it gave the Territory south of the Danube to the Bulgarians. In this beautiful land of the Danube Delta, the Bulgarians established their own country, the First Bulgarian Empire. But the good times were short-lived, and no country could prosper for a long time, and so did the Bulgarian Empire. The reason why the First Bulgarian Empire was able to defeat Byzantium, which was a foreign power at that time, was related to the then ruling Simeon Emperor.
What a wise monarch was Simeon? When playing poker, the emperor of the Red Peach K is Charlemagne, who founded the French Empire and is hailed as one of the greatest monarchs in Europe. Simeon is known as Charlemagne of Bulgaria. Under simeon's leadership, the First Bulgarian Empire achieved significant improvements in political, economic, cultural and other fields.
But just as after Charlemagne's death divided the French Empire into three parts to his three sons, causing a split in the country, Simeon failed to hand over Bulgaria to a good heir, and Bulgaria's development came to a standstill. While the First Bulgarian Empire was in decline, the Byzantine Empire welcomed a good monarch, Basil II.
Soon Byzantium and Bulgaria began another confrontation, this time undoubtedly tragic, the Bulgarians were almost overwhelmed, defeated, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In this war, there has been a folk legend about the preservation of "tinder". Legend has it that Herritos was a small soldier on this battlefield, and the clouds of death hung over his head from time to time.
But he remained determined to fight for the First Bulgarian Empire until Bulgaria's decline was irreversible. In order to escape the war, but also to leave the "fire" of revival for the Bulgarian Empire, Heritos wanted to find an isolated place to recuperate.
2. Reproduction and reproduction
When Herritos had the idea of backing down, he decided to implement his plan. But leaving the fire is not something he can do alone, and he needs more like-minded partners to help him. Therefore, he began to lobby some people with whom he usually had a good relationship, and at first people thought that what he said was nothing more than nonsense, but gradually as the situation on the battlefield became more and more severe, people began to waver.
Several soldiers who had befriended him entrusted their wives to his care. There are also some women who are encountered on the way to escape. After clarifying the stakes, Herritos took 17 women on the road.
After many twists and turns, they finally came to a place isolated from the outside world and established their home here. Since then, these eighteen people have lived here with the belief of restoration, and after a long time, they still have a good feeling for each other, so they began a long period of reproduction here.
Three, a hundred years later, a new country was established?
In this way, it was multiplied from generation to generation, and a hundred years later, a country was founded! Later, under the struggle of the new state, the Byzantine Empire was defeated again. The Bulgarians had a new empire of their own. But the rumors of one man and seventeen women still don't stand up to scrutiny. If only they were to reproduce, wouldn't the offspring always be married in close proximity?
That will have a great impact on the physique of future generations, perhaps on life expectancy and intelligence, not to mention the restoration of the country. Historically, the Bulgarians did eventually create the Second Bulgarian Empire, but had little to do with the petty soldier Herritos. The Second Bulgarian Empire was established by two brothers, Peter IV and Ivan Asen I, who forced the Byzantine Empire to recognize their independence by leading a Bulgarian revolt.
Historically famous, Helitos was a Bulgarian patriotic poet, and finally for his country, he abandoned his literature and went to the battlefield, fighting until the end of his life, and never picked up a quill to write poetry.
4. Summary
In ancient times, the level of science and technology was not developed, and people usually fought with cold weapons such as knives, swords, spears, and crossbows, and cold weapons were limited in large-scale lethality. After entering the modern society, with the development of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, people have become more and more cautious about war and more and more eager for peace. I hope that there will be few wars in the world, and I hope that peace can become the eternal main theme of the times.
