The joining ceremony of the new clan members has been completed, but the difference in status has not yet been completed.
First-class citizens and second-class citizens must be clearly distinguished. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for Yang Cheng to differentiate between classes.
This clear distinction is first manifested in appearance.
It's not that Yang Cheng asked the new tribesmen to cut their hair and braid their hair. That was something the backward and ignorant Qing Empire did. The advanced and civilized Qingque tribal society disdained to do this.
Yang Cheng's solution to this problem is very simple.
He asked Yanhu and Cangshi to chop some bamboo, and then asked Lulu and other beast-eared girls to find some pottery pieces.
Yan Lin and Xing raised their hands to express that they also wanted to go. Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the two of them who were still alive and kicking.
After sighing with emotion that the primitive people's physique was good, Yang Cheng also asked them to help.
Bamboo is easy to find. There is a bamboo forest near the Qingque tribe.
It stands to reason that bamboo forests grow in the hot, humid and rainy mountains of the south and should not grow in this forest full of virgin trees.
But who said this is a different world?
At first, Yang Cheng was confused about the growing environment of animals and plants here, but now he is no longer surprised.
And pottery shards are even easier to find.
The Qingque tribe has been burning pottery for almost two months, and Lulu burned a lot of pottery under Yang Cheng's instructions.
In primitive society, no matter how carefully the pottery was fired, there would always be a few that were damaged.
Yang Cheng doesn't like these pottery, but the people of the Qingque tribe are different. They think the pottery is a divine artifact given by the grandmother of the earth, even if it is a broken pottery.
The good pottery was put aside preciously, and the broken pottery was not thrown away and piled together.
So, less than ten minutes.
With the speed of the totem warrior, all the bamboos and pottery pieces were brought over.
Yang Cheng first found a few skilled tribesmen and asked them to divide the bamboo and pottery pieces into evenly sized and almost equal pieces.
In the end, an almost equal number of pottery and bamboo fragments were obtained, a total of one hundred and twenty pieces.
The bamboo pieces are larger, about half the size of a palm.
The pottery pieces are slightly smaller, but well-made, and the ones chosen are still glazed.
Compared with bamboo slices, at a glance, the grade of pottery slices is on a higher level.
The next thing can only be left to Yang Cheng himself.
He wanted to carve the corresponding clan name on each pottery and bamboo piece.
Some of these are words that Yang Cheng has taught everyone before. For example, the word "Yan" in "Yanhu", which Yang Cheng has taught, is two fires piled together.
But Yang Cheng has not taught the word "tiger" in "Yanhu" yet.
So, Yang Cheng asked for advice on the spot.
He drew a picture of a tiger-shaped ferocious beast that he had eaten last night, and then determined that it had the character "tiger".
Anyway, this pictographic character was created by him. He said that the ferocious beast looked like "tiger", so that's what the character "tiger" looked like.
Naturally, everyone had no objection to this.
On the contrary, I studied very seriously.
However, when Yang Cheng was carving names for everyone, he discovered a problem.
The specific words are better, such as "big stone" and "cang stone", these are simple.
Needless to say "stone", just follow the drawing, "big" just draw a big circle, "cang", Yang Cheng randomly found a ferocious beast, drew it like it, and called it a "cang", this No one has an opinion either.
But two like "long horns" and "short teeth" are a bit hard to think of.
Because Yang Cheng couldn't deal with the two words "long" and "short" as perfunctorily as "cang". After all, these two words related to the nouns of weights and measures.
Moreover, the words "long" and "short" belong to the scope of abstract concepts.
But for primitive people who only know concrete things and don't understand abstract thinking, this is a bit troublesome.
Yang Cheng first drew a long line on the ground, and then drew a short line.
Explain to everyone that the long line is called "long" and the short line is called "short".
But the primitive people looked confused. To them, the two lines on the ground were just lines. What was "long" and what was "short" were all the same.
Yang Cheng was defeated by them.
I had to explain to them in another way, and then...
Then he was stuck here for a long time without thinking about it, and was looked at expectantly by a bunch of primitive people. Yang Cheng was even more worried, and his head felt like two explosions.
No wonder there are rumors that Cangjie created characters that shocked the world and moved ghosts and gods.
Writing, this is really not something that ordinary people can create!
But in the end Yang Cheng thought of a way, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Mu Qing's long hair.
Except for the totem warriors who went back to cut their hair for the convenience of hunting, ordinary primitive people did not have the habit of cutting their hair, so Mu Qing's hair was extremely long, exceeding his waist.
And saw Mu Qing's appearance.
Suddenly, Yang Cheng felt confident.
He first wrote the character "人", which everyone recognized.
Standing on two legs is the most recognizable.
However, after seeing Yang Cheng write this character, everyone was very confused and didn't understand why Yang Cheng wrote the character "人".
Then I saw Yang Cheng draw an oval on top of the character "人".
Everyone can understand that this oval represents the human head, but they still don't understand the difference between this and "person".
But soon, Yang Cheng added a few long lines behind the oval, then pointed at the green wood and said: "This character is called 'long'!"
Everyone looked at the word "long" that Yang Cheng drew on the ground, and then at Mu Qing, who had long hair reaching her waist.
In an instant, they seemed to have opened up a new world, suddenly enlightened and bursting with inspiration.
"So this is called growing up!"
"So right, so right."
"The character Wu is written very well!"
…
Everyone was very excited. Yang Cheng's "word" made them see the world from a different angle and slightly opened their abstract thinking.
The pictographic character "长" created by Yang Cheng looks like a person with long hair.
At the beginning, he was also very confused and insisted on explaining the specific lengths and lengths to everyone.
Later, I thought about it, and the original meaning of "long" can not only mean the large distance between two points, that is, the length of the length.
"Chang" can also mean being invisible, meaning a long time, a long journey, etc. It can also mean growing up and growing up, describing older people.
The pictogram for "long" comes out, and there is no need to mention the "short" one.
Without Yang Cheng having to do anything, the excited people directly created it for Yang Cheng. They just made the "hair" shorter, and it became the word "short".
As for the remaining "red teeth", the "red" character, and the "green" character of "green hair".
This one is even simpler. Yang Cheng directly drew a circle and painted it with bright red blood and green juice squeezed out of the grass blades, which became "red" and "green".
…
Yang Cheng is here to carve words and teach everyone how to read them.
All of a sudden, the new tribesmen over there were stunned. They didn't expect that their shamans could actually know another kind of writing besides witchcraft.
They had vaguely heard of this kind of thing only among those very large tribes.
Could it be that my shaman came from a very large tribe...
