"Even if you are far away in China, you should seek it. ”This ancient Arabic proverb in the Middle East has been widely circulated and is familiar to many Chinese people.
ButLebanonAnd a group of people,Recognize China as an ancestor's hometown, I'm afraid not many people know about it. How did this group of people come about? We have to start from the turn of the last millennium.
After the pro-government, Hakim's character painting style was completely out of shape. At first, he inexplicably ordered the killing of all cats and dogs in Egypt, and also forbade all his subjects to eat grapes; Then he demanded that everyone do the same"Day and night".ordered the closure of markets, shops and handicraft workshops during the day, and banned women's leather shoes, a variety of vegetables and shellfish; After a short time, he issued an edict strictly prohibiting banquets, drinking, ** and entertainment. may have been insecure since childhood, and these tosses of Hakim belong to all his subjects in a sense"Authoritative obedience test".category.
Hakim left a lasting impact on future generations, but he tried to do something that caused anger and turmoil throughout the dynasty at the timeFounding a sect in the field of religion
Originally, according to the teachings of the Heavenly Side, whoever served as caliph was the best person of Allah in the world, that is, he had the supreme power of theocracy. It's just that this supreme power is, after all, phased, and its power and influence will disappear with the death of people and politics. Hakim would have preferred to have oneThe highest religious position will always exist in the memory of the subjects.
The overly deviant heretical words and deeds aroused the anger of the entire Orthodox Christians at the time, and the opposition believers began to riot at the instigation of the official preaching elders. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Drazi and Hamza were separated1018 yearFlee to the weak forces of the OrthodoxLebanonand began to preach his own teachings in the local area.
A.DFebruary 13, 1021In the evening, Mansur al-Hakim, who was fond of private visits to micro-services, left the palace again alone on a donkey and wandered around the wilderness near Cairo, where his subjects found his donkey and bloody clothes a few days later, and found nothing else. The ministers supported his youngest son, Zahir, to the throne of the seventh caliph, and al-Hakim was never heard from again...
Hakim'sMysterious "missing"., which is believed by many to be the absence of bones after the assassination, but the funeral of Derazi and Hamza was joyful, and he took the opportunity to promote that Hakim was"Hidden"., the day of his disappearance is a day of remembrance, and it is honored"Hidden Imam".Hakim will return like a king at the right time, and let the sect dominate the world.
The Druze, who believed in Hakim, violated the taboo of the Celestial Sect and was rejected by both orthodox Sunnis and mainstream Shiites, and was not even considered part of the Celestial Sect. And the Arabic-speaking Druzeites don't really call themselves Muslins, they call themselves up"Unitarians"., advocating the exemption from the obligations of prayer, Hajj, zakat, jihad, etc. The Druze did not have a mosque, did not require a form of worship, did not force their followers to fast and make the pilgrimage to Mecca, and did not abstain from eating pork.
WhenWhite HardingAfter taking over the Druze, he chose the strategy of full-blown lewd development,announced"Stop proselytizing".。The Druze sect even refused the conversion of ordinary people, and also stipulated that the sect's canon could only be made by a small number of high-ranking elite clerics (ie"The Knower".can be read, just like a peerless martial arts cheats that cannot be easily passed on; He who has no chance of knowing the mysteries of the doctrine"The Ignorant".Ordinary believers, on the other hand, obey orders and practice concealing their identities in their daily lives"Takia".principles to protect yourself.
White Harding's operation made the Druze factionDevelopment has almost come to a standstillIt can only be spread in successive families, and after a thousand years of development, there are not many believers who have become a complete secret small society. To this day, the total population of the Druze faction is only about 1 million, mainly distributed inLebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel, among others
But the Druze faction has been able to survive in the face of marginalization, and it has also benefited from their internal unity. The Druze faction who huddled together to keep warm and survive,The interior is basically monolithic. Relying on their closed religion and tribal culture, they are regarded as heretics by everyone, and they lack foreign aid, and for the purpose of self-preservation, they attach great importance to improving the combat effectiveness of their members. The Druze people who have survived the brutal competition to this day,The overall military literacy is also higher than that of other ethnic groups.
In countries where Druze is currently distributed, soldiers from Druze are playing a disproportionate role in the military. This is also due to the special and important teachings of the Druzeites that distinguish them, namelyAdhere to the religious principle of "loyalty to the country".。That is, regardless of the nature of the rulers of the country, regardless of the Druze dispersion, the doctrine requires that they must be loyal to the country in which they are located. The strong martial spirit, coupled with the special importance of canons compared to other religious sects, allowed the Druze faction to exert more influence in the Middle East politics than it did in the case of a small number of people.
In the Syrian army, the Druze are seen by the Alawites as partners they can rely on, with access to the inner circle of the army, as well as mastery of high technology and heavy **. In Israel, the Druze of Israeli origin, with a total population of only a few tens of thousands, are also known in the army as excellent soldiers and have a high level of loyalty. WhileLebanese Druze, in addition to martial loyalty,There is also a special kind of complex for China
The Druze faction believed"Soul reincarnation".It is generally believed that the death of a Van Druze believer coincides with the birth of a baby in the Vander order, and that the soul of the deceased is quickly transferred to the baby in the mother's womb. Lebanese DruzeIt has been passed down from generation to generationTheir souls in their previous lives came from China, and their souls will be reincarnated in China again after their deathsTherefore, there is a natural sense of closeness to the Chinese.
Teach"Country".Recognize, recognize the ancestors"Medium".。The expectation of the Lebanese Druze people can't help but make people sighThe poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.
