I believe that everyone has eaten knife-cut noodles, which is one of the classic Chinese delicacies. The small blade bends over the thick dough, and with a flick of the wrist, the white and creamy noodles fly into the pot, boil over high heat, fish out and add the marinade, grab a handful of coriander, and order a little sesame oil. Brought to the table, it was called an incense.
Do you know? The real origin of knife cutting noodles is actually invented during the Yuan Dynasty in China, by the oppressed Han people at that time. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was founded by the Mongols, not a Han Chinese regime.
Because the base of Han people at that time was too large, in order to achieve control over the Han people and prevent the Han people from rebelling, they were required to hand over all metal products, especially kitchen knives for cooking.
Later, when people cooked, only a few households or even a dozen households shared a kitchen knife, in order to solve the problem of eating, some smart people, with a piece of bent iron, cut a pot of noodles, which has the origin of knife cutting noodles.
Life in the Yuan Dynasty was difficult
Due to the long-term turmoil of the Yuan Dynasty and the oppression of the Han people, a vigorous uprising broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally in 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops stood out and occupied the Capital of Yuan. Since then, the stage of history has been staged in the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Yuan Dynasty was strong, it was inevitable to perish, politically corrupt, and heavily taxed. The Yuan Dynasty directly escalated internal contradictions, with the Mongols supreme and the Han chinese being the lowest of the four classes.
The reason is only because in the war of annihilation, the Resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty was the most intense.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, on the one hand, they absorbed the advanced culture of the Southern Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, they maintained enough reverence for the Han people in the south, so they tried to suppress the Han people spiritually.
More than that!
The number of people in Sichuan at that time was about 20 million, and after the Mongols swept through the clouds, there were only less than 800,000 left, thousands of miles of red land, and hundreds of miles of no-man's land, not to mention more than the later Japanese army invading China.
In the end, the Mongols seized the Southern Song Dynasty and forced 100,000 people to jump off the cliff and martyr the country after the Battle of Yashan and Hai.
Since the old han areas came under the rule of the Mongols. The people of the Han nationality survive almost all the time in oppression and resistance.
It should be known that the chastity of ancient women was extremely valued, and there was a word of chastity arch to boast of excellent women who kept chastity and filial piety. At that time, the Han Chinese wanted to marry the bride, and the first night of the bride was even handed over to the Baochang Mongols.
It's unheard of!
Secondly, as mentioned above, you must not possess weapons and must not hold iron, and a village may only have a kitchen knife, and it must be placed in the home of the chief of the security guard. The most abominable thing is that in the eyes of the Han people at that time, life was precious, while in the eyes of the Mongols, the life of the Han people was only worth the price of a donkey.
Hearing the speech, are there many people who have sharpened their knives? Don't worry, it's not enough to get here.
The Mongols killed the Han people without paying for their lives, and the Han people were beaten by the Mongols and could not fight back, and once they killed, they had to pay for their lives.
The first time the Chinese nation was conquered by foreign nations, it fell into such a fate, and the tradition of civilization and belief was almost destroyed.
The heavenly path is good reincarnation, and the right path in the world is vicissitudes.
Less than a hundred years after such a dynasty, a massive uprising took place in other dynasties for hundreds of years, and the number of people who revolted and the ability of its leaders were unprecedented.
For Zhu Yuanzhang's introduction, I believe that many people have seen more, it is really not interesting, so today I recommend another person, his story is just as wonderful.
Ming Yuzhen of the Bactrian Dynasty
Speaking of the Bactrian Dynasty, most people are influenced by Jin Yong's novels, and they always have a fondness for the Western Xia Dynasty during the Song Dynasty, because that is where The 3rd man in the book finally fell in love with his wife.
And this Xia Dynasty has nothing to do with that Xia Dynasty's eight rods. This Xia Dynasty, which appeared between the Yuan and Ming dynasties, was founded by a man named Ming Yuzhen. Unable to bear the long-term turmoil and oppression, Mei Yuzhen later led the people to revolt.
The first rebel contingent assembled by Hu Yuzhen consisted mainly of sharecroppers and self-employed farmers who had no land to cultivate. These poor peasants had nowhere to go but to go into the mountains. Over time, a powerful force was formed, which spread to the entire Hunan region of Hubei.
In that year, the Yuan Dynasty's oppression of Hunan was particularly severe, that year the leader of the Red Turban Army, Xu Shouhui, led an uprising, and at the same time, Ming Yuzhen also gathered more than 1,000 soldiers to set up Qingshan. In 1353, Ming Yuzhen raised an army out of the mountains and defeated the Yuan Dynasty army in the first battle.
The First World War was famous all over the world, and as a result, the peasant rebel armies in the entire Two Lakes and sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou regions were all worshipped as kings, and their power was unprecedented.
At that time, the Yuan Dynasty was suffering from wars in the north, and had no time to take care of the south, a thousand good opportunities, where is the reason for not doing big? After several years of conquest, two lakes, Sichuan, southern Shaanxi, Guangxi, Yunnan, Qinghai. Most of the area has been completely in his hands. At the height of its strength, it surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang in the east.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's scope was only the land of three provinces.
In 1362, Ming Yuzhen officially became emperor. The national name Bactria, in line with the original intention of cleaning up the mountains and rivers and reorganizing the orthodoxy of the Han people, set the capital of Chongqing. That is, the unknown Bactrian Dynasty mentioned in the title.
The end of the Bactrian Dynasty, the exiled people
Early years of statehood. He and Chen Youyi zhu yuanzhang were in a state of three kingdoms, and Ming Yuzhen even regarded the relationship between Wei Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period as a strategy, but all this was fundamentally reversed after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youyu. Zhu Yuanzhang devoured Chen Youliang's territory, and overnight, his power suddenly expanded several times.
At this point, the Bactrian Dynasty was no longer inching forward, and the Ming Dynasty was thriving. In the year of Ming Yuzhen's illness and death, Zhu Yuanzhang began a war of annihilation against the Great Xia Kingdom.
In order to prevent the resurgence of its power, the Imperial Court decided to move Ming Yuzhen's descendants out of Sichuan and disperse throughout the country, some of which were favored by the then Goryeo King Gong.
To this day, this clan still learns Chinese characters, speaks Chinese, communicates in Mandarin, and regularly worships their ancestors, and they have become a Chinese ethnic group that does not exist on the land of China.
Although the riddle of the real Bactrian Dynasty is rarely known, its contribution to the Chinese nation in those years and its influence are still preserved today.
Ming Yuzhen at that time seemed to be a shooting star. The brilliant friction showed a brief firework, illuminating the new hope in the hearts of the difficult Han people in the Mongolian Yuan era.
Everything in the world will eventually pass, but the impression he left on the hearts of the people will never be erased, if Ming Yuzhen still exists in the world! Perhaps at this time, he has already seen it in his heart, because he strives to live a wonderful life, which is also a pursuit of life.
