Nepal's famous historian Sangye Tenzin believes in the Tibetan book "Sacred Cow Snow Light" that the Sherpas are a branch of descendants of the Xixia people.
However, Tang Rongyao, a well-known domestic scholar, denies this statement. Tang Rongyao is the master who wrote the yellow book Biography of Xixia. He is also a special consultant for CCTV’s mysterious Xixia documentary. I have contacted the Sherpa people and I think Tang’s view is right.
History will always leave traces, and you can always find these traces by looking at relevant historical materials.
After the Mongolian people perished in Xixia, a branch of the Dangxiang Qiang people moved to today's Muya area. Later, Kublai Khan planned to conquer Muya southward and kill them all. This group of people fled Muya and moved to Tibet. Some of them crossed over. It is said that the Nangba Pass in the Himalayas leads to today's Lukhumbu (also known as Shirkhumbu).
These people back then were the ancestors of the Sherpa people.
Why is there an independent Sherpa tribe deep in the Kemi Medicine Mountain?
I think it is very likely that some of the people who fled to Lukunbu did not leave, but chose to stay here to reproduce.
I would love to write about this part of the historical secrets.
But many people say: "I don't want to watch it, it's boring, I can't understand it. I want to watch something exciting," so I won't go into details.
Although this group of Sherpas live in the mountains, they do not eat fish or dog meat. Beef, Lao Fu said they eat human flesh. I have never seen this before, so it’s hard to say. Anyway, we were not eaten.
They only have first names, but no surnames. King Zami is called "Ji Tigawa", and his sister, the woman with few clothes, is called "Seerba."
I still remember their house.
There are rows of wooden houses, about five meters high, with sloping herringbone roofs. The roofs are covered with several layers of fish scale boards to protect them from heavy rain. The fish scale boards are long wooden boards cut out with an axe. And their sheepfolds are all made of rocks from the mountains.
We were locked in one of the wooden houses, and there were several big men watching at the door to prevent us from escaping.
At about 4 o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Biao came to see us.
He came in and said, "You are in trouble, you are in big trouble!"
I said what's wrong, Brother Biao, we all listen to you, including coming here, and we are all fellow villagers, you see...
He turned to me and said, "I'm a fellow countryman, that's why I want to save you. You don't know, but they are debating which pot to use, whether to dip it in salt or pepper noodles, and prepare to eat you all."
I could tell that he was exaggerating to scare us.
Seeing that I was indifferent, Zhang Biao pulled over and sat down on the broken chair and said, "Stupid! You don't understand any rules at all. Please show your respect to me."
I understand, can I give you some money?
He glared at me and said, "Money is useless in this mountain! It's not as useful as wiping paper. Give me two cigarettes."
"I haven't smelled cigarette smoke for months. Leave some good stuff for me. We Northeastern men speak directly. Give me what you want and I'll save your lives."
Fortunately, our things were not confiscated. Douyazai and I got together and gave him one and a half cigarettes, while we only kept two boxes for ourselves.
Zhang Biao couldn't wait to light one, took a sip and said, "Is there anything else good? Ham drink, or chocolate or something, are there any?"
I said a little, and went to dig through the bag again.
He was afraid that we would run over to take a look, so he suddenly said: "Fuck! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a good thing!"
I was stunned and asked what good thing? I thought he might be interested in the antiques in my bag, right?
"this one!"
With sharp eyes, he took out a box of stuff directly from the compartment of my bag.
It's a box of famous-brand James Bond sets.
This thing was still in Xianyang. I went to the family planning supplies store to buy it when I was eating eggs to relieve poison. At that time, Xiaomi and I bought six boxes in total, leaving one box unused and stuffed it in the middle of my bag.
Xiaoxuan didn't know, but she saw this thing and looked at me with a "weird" look.
I couldn’t explain it clearly, so I quickly said, brother, if you like it, take it away.
"I like it! I like it so much!"
"This is the only box you have? Do you have any more?"
"No more, just this box."
He held a cigarette under his arm, carefully put Jieshibon in his pocket, patted it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow, we are destined to meet each other in this deep mountain and forest. I have already thought of a plan. No. If something happens, you can leave the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow? Not tomorrow?"
"No," he glanced at the door first, then turned back and pointed at Xiaoxuan, whispering: "You girl killed the leader's brother-in-law. I have to explain to them. Tomorrow, I will do a ceremony. After the ceremony is over, I will tell her that she is the reincarnation of Vajra Haimu, and please cooperate with her."
"You say Xiaoxuan is Vajra Haimu? What do you mean?"
He said, "You don't understand even if I tell you. They all believe this. Just cooperate as I say."
"How can Xiaoxuan cooperate?" I asked.
"Come here."
I leaned over and he whispered the details we needed to cooperate with.
It's not easy to reason here. The people here have been isolated from the world for many years, and the religious beliefs in Tibetan areas have a great influence on them.
It was by grasping this that Zhang Biao was able to get along like a fish in the tribe. He married four Sherpa wives. It is said that he plans to marry three more good-looking ones. Then he will change one every week and do it every night. bridegroom.
Did I ask him, did I say you don’t plan to go out? Do you plan to stay in this mountain for the rest of your life?
He asked me what I was going to do? I'm still a fugitive outside, and it's great to stay here. I won't change my job as a provincial governor, unless one day the tribe knows that he is a liar, and then he will have to run away.
Its daybreak.
8am.
We were taken out to participate in their "Catching Chaga" ceremony.
This is a ritual similar to gambling. The Sherpas have no laws. Once there is a conflict between them, they sometimes use this ritual of catching Chaga to decide life and death.
The host of the ceremony was Zhang Biao. It was very simple. There was a black jar made of clay on the table. What was in the jar could not be seen from the outside.
There were dozens of dried walnuts in the jar. Only one of the walnuts had a mark on the bottom and a small hole drilled into it.
This walnut with small eyes is called "Chaga."
Three chances. If Chaga can be caught, then this person will be innocent and will not be punished. We will send Xiaoxuan to catch her because she killed a man in the tribe.
In the middle of the night last night, Zhang Biao told us that he had secretly tampered with Chaga and put a layer of gum on the surface. It would feel sticky when touched.
"Hukka! Hukka! Hukka!"
A group of men in the clan slapped the blades and shouted "Hu Ka".
King Zemi looked gloomy and waved his hand. Zhang Biao nodded and signaled Xiaoxuan to start grabbing.
Xiaoxuan stepped forward and took a deep breath, then slowly put her hand into the jar.
The first time, Xiaoxuan caught ordinary walnuts.
The second time, what she caught was ordinary walnuts.
last chance.
According to the plan, she must catch "Chaga".
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxuan's hands were stuck in the jar for a long time, but she still refused to take it out.
Amidst the continuous clucking noises from everyone, Xiaoxuan sweated on her forehead and seemed to be hesitant.
I looked at Zhang Biao anxiously and asked him with my eyes what was going on? Didn’t I say that I made a mark last night?
Zhang Biao looked back at me with the same puzzled expression.
At this time, he turned to look at Sister Zami Wang.
The woman crossed her arms and looked at Xiaoxuan in front of the table with an expressionless face.
I looked at Xiaoxuan, and after a few hesitations, she suddenly seemed to have made a discovery.
With joy on her face, Xiaoxuan took out a walnut from the jar.
