In the southern Xinjiang of the motherland, on the border between China and Vietnam, Napo County is like a mani bead hidden in the dragon's jaw under the nine-fold abyss, although the mani bead is a wishful treasure, can eliminate disasters and solve problems, and bless all beings, but it has been secret for a long time, and it is rarely known.
Unearthed under the Ganda Rock, the ancient stone axe is now displayed in the Guangxi Frontier Ethnic Museum, Stone knives, etc., show that in the barbaric era, the land of Napo County has been inhabited by human beings, at that time they lived in the cave, no clothing, no food, in order to survive every day to leave the safe cave, into the deep mountains and Daze hinterland for fishing and hunting, presumably there were people unfortunately buried in the tiger's mouth, and some people unfortunately became the unjust soul in the crocodile pool, too much misfortune made them have to pray for the protection of their ancestors and gods, so the wizards who can communicate with the ghosts and gods have become the necessary reliance for their production and life. When the thunderstorm comes, the night falls, and the wolves howl in the dense forest, we can think that they must be tired and gather around the fire, listening to the holy sorcerer interpret the divination results, the burning lines on the tortoise shell, will guide future actions, everything is ** God, so they must obey God's will, they prostrate on the ground, thanking God for the gift.
After a long period of association with beasts in the deep mountains and dense forests, the ancient Napo people learned to store food, raise animals, and use medicine and sew animal furs, and the improvement of survival wisdom eventually led them to a life of slash-and-burn farmingWhen will the fruit ripen?So the wise men rose up, observed the alternation of the sun and the moon, the change of the seasons, formulated the solar terms and rhythms, and the depth of knowledge and mastery of time, so that they could stand out from the ranks of animals, become the spirits of all things, and henceforth become the masters of the land of Napo, even the most ferocious vipers and beasts, when they heard their whistling footsteps, they had to quickly retreat. At this time, they can also extract metal from the sand and make steel plows and iron hoesYou can also ride a horse and drive an eagle to gallop through the valley to chase bears and eagle eaglesYou can also paddle to the depths of the deep pool and catch the giant python ......The strength of their abilities made them rich to some extent, which inevitably attracted the covetousness of the robbers, or at one time they also wanted to step out of their own territory and go to plunder the property of other tribes, so the war began, and the blood-stained kapok tree, which still blooms every year, seems to warn the people who live and work in peace and contentment to never forget the cruelty of war.
Regardless of war and peace, with the broadening of their horizons, the ancestors of Napo gradually realized their own shortcomings, so commerce quietly rose, in order to be able to better trade the goods they needed from others, they needed to continuously improve the quality of their products, so someone made a sugar press, so that large slices of sugar cane could be condensed into a square sugar cube;Someone made an oil press, so that the tea fruits all over the mountains can flow into mellow and golden tea oil;Looms were made, and housewives were able to express their feminine feelings and weave beautiful patterns and ...... on the cloth
The Po people, out of the cave, built a unique style of hanging railing house, the lower layer of livestock, the middle layer of human settlements, the upper layer of the grain, the house behind the mountain, the front of the pastoral, the left and right sides of the green dragon and white tiger with the **, Baohe Taihe. Now the Napo people not only walked out of the caves, ran out of the mountains, but also flew to the four lakes and the four seas, and the world's human beings converged into a rushing historical torrent, but no matter how to go to the **, in the most ** of the Napo people's family, forever for the gods and ancestors, the shrine is full of cigarette smoke, thousands of years of oil lamps are not extinguished, that is the grace and reliance that Napo people will never forget.
