<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Zodiac: Skilled Anda, Ze was eight wild</h1>
In the 1980s, when the philatelic business had not yet resumed, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a set of four "Ancient Scientist" stamps, the first three of which were 8 points in denomination, and the last one was a high value of 60 points, which was very difficult to collect.
The new ticket is very good to collect, there is money on the line, and I am collecting letter sales tickets, actually used, and good quality zodiac stamps are difficult to see, or after the network, only to get what you want, so the impression is very deep.
Huang Daobo can be said to be the lowest born ancient scientist, in our education, she is a child bride, because of domestic violence and drifted alone to Hainan, where she learned textile skills from the indigenous Li sisters, and vigorously promoted them after returning to her hometown, so that productivity was greatly improved, so she was also pushed as "Cotton Ancestor", which is the textile goddess in people's minds.
She is a goddess similar to "Mazu", because in Chinese history, science and technology has not been valued, not to mention ordinary women from the bottom of society, the history of Zhengshi is naturally not a word recorded, all the relevant texts of the zodiac, all from folklore, plus the imagination of posterity, especially modern people, making her name shine at home and abroad.
Huang Daobo was a native of the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, born in a poor family in Wunijing, Songjiang Province, according to the modern region, is an authentic Shanghai native, very young is a child bridesmaid, because of the cruel persecution and exiled to Yazhou, which is now Hainan Island, she has no home, boarding Taoist temple, is very sad.
In the exchange of labor and life, she learned to use cotton-making tools and weaving yazhou quilts with the Li sisters, and after living there for about 30 years, she returned to her hometown and passed on the skills learned to the people in her hometown, greatly improving the traditional textile technology.
Under her teaching and promotion, Songjiang Province became the largest cotton textile center in the country. Songjiang cloth has the reputation of "clothes are under the world", especially the technique of "wrong yarn color matching, comprehensive thread and flowering" created by her, making "WuNijing quilt" famous and famous far and wide, and the north and south of the river have followed suit.
Huang Daobo probably lived to be 85 years old, and after her death, the people once erected a shrine to Ji, and the textile industry respected her as the "ancestor".
Although the zodiac is the existence of the "ancestor" level of the cloth industry, there is still a big difference between her and the existence of the "god" level of Mazu, the zodiac is only worshiped in an occasional situation, and is a ceremonial god, while Mazu is closely related to the lives of every person who goes to sea, so the probability of worship is far from a channel.
There is almost no word record of the zodiac in the official texts before the establishment of the Republic of China, and although Mazu is also a god based on folklore, in the Song Dynasty alone, the number of times he was worshipped in an official capacity reached more than twenty times, and it was recorded again and again, and other functions were attached, gradually forming a faith.
The history of Zodiac Po was excavated and sorted out after the establishment of the Republic of China, and was constantly added to the imaginary component, which belongs to the "ancient history caused by layers", so the phenomenon of distortion is very serious, although her truth is a fault, which has long been lost in the depths of history.
The first time Huang Daobo was officially introduced to the Chinese people was in 1937, because in that year, in the primary school students' "Chinese" textbook, her name appeared for the first time, which included a poem that reads:
In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a zodiac po, who grew up in Huangpu, Jiangnan;
Knowing the usefulness of kapok, he traveled a long way to Fujian.
The information revealed in this is that she heard that the cotton production or production technology in Fujian was advanced, and she took the initiative to go there to study, and there was no dime relationship with what modern people call Hainan.
In Hainan, there is no time to exceed the remnants of the pre-Republic of China, even in the memory of the time period, it is also a bit of education received in modern times, in the local area, if it is an uneducated person, there will be no zodiac memory.
I have a few questions about the zodiac, first of all, I think this name is invented by later generations, because no one will give their newborn daughter such a name called "Po", just like the Sun Bearded Man who wrote the world's first long union, who gave birth to a "bearded old man"?
This should be either her own later renamed, or the original name is lost, posterity does not know and according to her life and make up the name, and as a woman, whether her surname is Huang is not certain, because in ancient times, it is rare for poor women to have their own family name, even if there is, once there is a mother-in-law, the family name will also be ignored, such as Zhang Wangshi, Zhao Chen's name on the line.
As for the "Tao" in the zodiac's name, it can be inferred that it was derived from the Taoist temple where she drifted outside, so it can be said with certainty that her real name, if any, has long been unknown, and this is just a recognition symbol given by later generations according to legends.
In my impression, at least before the founding of New China, this Hainan was a barren land, and the past generations were like the Ninggu Pagoda in the Qing Dynasty, a place for the exile of criminals, such as Su Dongpo, Li Gang and other people who were hated by the imperial court to the bone.
To say that the zodiac went there to learn technology, I do not believe this, because at the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the mountain people there were afraid of slash-and-burn cultivation and knotted rope, not far away, and the overall living conditions and the development of productive forces were not at the same level as inland, how could they go there to learn many improved skills.
Besides, Hainan is not a cotton-producing area, and those Li compatriots are even difficult to meet the warmth, just like when we were in the mountains and the countryside, the only bit of mountainous land, the first choice is to grow corn, sweet potatoes and other crops that can fill the stomach, as for planting rapeseed or cotton, I don't want to think about it.
When the fame of the zodiac was really loud, it was after the founding of New China, she was the representative of the most oppressed group living at the bottom of society, and the pioneer of women's resistance and awakening, and then in order to meet the proposition that "the noble are the most stupid, the lowly are the wisest", she was promoted to the leader of "liberation as a woman" and "benefiting the people".
First of all, I believe that The Zodiac is indeed a person, she is like the inventor of "movable type printing" Bi Sheng, from the lowest level of society, they rely on the improvement of skills, and the technology in their respective fields to raise to an epoch-making level, so as to benefit the people's livelihood, but also lost the progress of society.
Based on this, our descendants must have a sense of reverence for these people who have made outstanding contributions to the nation and to mankind, but I am very opposed to making things up, speculating and imagining, and superimposing too many utilitarian benefits to cater to the times.
Zodiac, history actually left us with the names of these three words, and all other stories, if they are empty and excessive, at least lack historical basis, because all the arguments now will not exceed the time before the Republic of China.
From very few folklore, to the conclusions of historians, and then into textbooks, and then into national memory, this is actually an imprecise scientific attitude, and many of the missions later carried by the zodiac, such as "messengers of national exchange", are even more ridiculous.
What's more, in order to render the long-term theme of class struggle, Huang Daobo was also portrayed as a hero who fought against tribal leaders in his days in Hainan, which made people even more bizarre.
With the establishment of Hainan Province, in order to establish a brand and expand tourism resources, the current Zodiac Po has been certified as a Li ethnic group who lived in Hainan since childhood, and it was Songjiang who only went with her husband later; and there is another theory that she herself is a Han Chinese living in Hainan, and after fighting against local bullies, she went to live in the interior and so on.
Looking at the flowers in the fog, everything is hazy, in fact, around the zodiac, it used to be a political need, and now it is a commercial value, in a widely circulated phrase, "History is a little girl who can be dressed up." ”
In fact, I think, if more accurately, the zodiac phenomenon proves a famous saying in the field of historiography, that is, "What is important is not the era of history writing, but the era of history." ”
