It is also because the content of this paper is too exaggerated, so Zhou Zhi is not busy publishing it. This time he went to Beijing to ask for the opinions of the big guys. After getting their approval, he has just submitted it to the editorial department of "Literature and History" , the outside world doesn’t know yet.
So Zhou Zhi knows the calendar of the Yi people very well. In addition to this ten-month calendar, the Yi people also have two more ancient calendars, which are not based on observing astronomy, but based on two methods invented based on the human body. A "body experience".
One is based on the menstrual cycle of the female tribal leader as the calendar, with twenty-eight days as one month and thirteen months as one year. It has been used in the ancient society of the Yi people for a long time and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Nowadays, some Yi villages in the mountains still arrange their own festivals according to this calendar.
There is also a calendar that is arranged according to the hands and toes. The 20th day is a month, and the 18 months in a year are added to the "New Year's Day" to form a year, which is called the 18-month calendar.
Of course, as a calendar, it must be consistent with the solar return year. These two physical calendars must also follow this rule, but compared with the ten-month calendar, it is a bit rougher, but it is better than the ten-month calendar. The monthly calendar may be even further back.
In other words, the time for Chinese ancestors to master the calendar may even exceed tens of thousands of years.
However, there are no historical records like "Xia Xiaozheng" to refer to, and there are no old and new stone talismans to prove it. Zhou Zhi can only attribute it to his own "reasonable guess".
Zhou Zhi felt that these things were very important to the Yi people, so he was ready to spread the word to Erxia when he got the chance.
But Erxia obviously didn’t think so. Before Zhou Zhi could say a few words, he jumped towards the waterside: "The fish is on! Brother Xiuzi, hurry up and reel in the line!"
" Why are you panicking? I just uploaded one, wait a little longer!”
Lifting the fish in the river is a little troublesome. After the fishing sign is shaken back, one needs to be removed before it can be shaken back for a while, otherwise the fishing line will get tangled on the wheel.
Therefore, after the first fish is hooked, there is no need to panic and take the fish off. You can completely let the fish struggle freely, and it will drive the shaking of the lower line, and the shaking of the lower line will drive other fish signs. In this way The entire fishing line on the lower line becomes "live bait", increasing the enthusiasm of the fish for food.
As the fishing line shook more and more violently, indicating that fish were constantly biting each sub-line, Zhou Zhi felt that his hand was quite heavy, so he shook the lower line back towards himself.
Erxia was waiting by the water. When the first fish sign was shaken in front of him, he took it off, quickly wrapped the fishing line around the sign, and put it in front of him. .
Then the second fish sign appears, continue to do so.
Soon a fish sign showing fish was waved in front of her. Erxia also took off the fish sign and wrapped it up. Without removing the fish hook from her mouth, she threw them into the bucket together.
Then the process continued like this. Three or five fish of various sizes were quickly collected. Zhou Zhi began to shake the lower line back, and Er Xia began to replace the fish tags between each clip.
After the fishing group was restored, Erxia went to the bucket to remove the hook from the fish mouth, separated the fish from the fish tag, and put the fish in the fish protector.
“Don’t be busy! Look carefully before releasing the fish. If it is a protective fish, it is illegal to enter it for protection!” Zhou Zhi, who lives by the Yangtze River, certainly knows that “the weirder the fish is caught, the faster the sentence will be.” " principle.
This is also a lesson. I didn’t know there were fish in the Meigu River before, but later I discovered that there are many kinds of fish, so Zhou Zhi went to the Autonomous Prefecture Agricultural Science Institute and found a Liangshan Prefecture Fish Survey Manual , and found that there were more than fifty kinds of fish in the Meigu River, which looked extremely desolate.
In addition to the common carp, crucian carp, horsemouth, broad-finned bream, and the like, there are also a large number of species that are characteristic of plateau rivers, including one type of naked carp, five kinds of schizothorax, more than ten kinds of loaches, and eight kinds of scorpionfish. .
These specialty varieties are very delicious, but many of them are protected varieties, and you can be punished if you are caught poaching.
Although Zhou Zhi also knows that no one in Lianhe Township can check these things now, and the only one who can check them is himself, he must do a good job in popularizing science.
“Recognize it, Yayu! This is Yayu!” Yayu is a fish named after Yazhou as a geographical indication. Its scientific name is actually “Schizothorax”. It is found in Jinsha River and Anning River. They are distributed in Meigu River.
This fish is a rare aquatic product in Yazhou. It is shaped like a carp and has fine scales like a trout. It has a smooth taste, tender meat, rich nutrition, and will not get greasy after being eaten for a long time.
Its biggest feature is that there is a small bone hidden in the forehead of its head, shaped like a sword.
According to legend, this sword was transformed when Nuwa accidentally dropped the sword into the water when she was patching up the sky. Therefore, this sword has become the biggest sign of identifying the authenticity of Yayu.
This fish has been very famous since ancient times. Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty wrote: "The fish knows the origin of the Bing point, and the wine does not need to be intoxicated to remember the Pi tube." Song Qi's poem in the Song Dynasty said: "Er Bing's cave produces fine fish. Carp's trout scales are rich in flavor." It's all said.
However, this kind of aquatic product is sold at a sky-high price in Jiazhou and Yazhou, and now costs 78 to 81 kilograms. However, no one cares about it in Lianhe Township. They are also very greedy for hooks. Every time they fish, they catch the fish first. The basics are it.
And they were all pretty big, weighing about a pound each. Zhou Zhi wouldn't even want one less than half a pound.
The Yayu in Erxia's hand is very beautiful, with a big tail and a thin body. This kind of fish is found in Yazhou and Jiazhou. Because the color of the river water is green and black, the fish is also black.
But in the Meigu River, the fish is very light in color, brownish-yellow, and even has a little iridescence in the sun, which is very beautiful.
This fish has very high requirements for oxygen. Zhou Zhi quickly stopped Er Xia from showing off: "I'm going to protect you, hey, these fish are not small. I'm going to have a good harvest today!"
"That's why I called you Man early in the morning. I knew it was a nice day today, but you still weren't happy about it!" Erxia complained while taking the fish to protect.
"Does your family grind rice?" Zhou Zhi suddenly thought of a question and asked while shaking the pole: "Don't you just come to me to hide from the work at home, right? If you get slapped by your Ada then, don't take it from me. Be a shield!"
"No - no!" Er shouted: "Ah! Da'amo has already prepared it! He will come to the grain station soon to deliver the bait. A'mo said that you are the best to us, and I will give you a five-pound piece!"
"Oh my God! Everyone thinks the same as you Amo, I don’t need to eat anything else this year..." Zhou Zhi was startled.
"Amo said that you definitely can't eat, but you can stay in school and cook for us. He said that it's not good and he can't do anything about school."
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but It's funny, the villagers just haven't been out to see the world much, or they are relatively simple in nature, but they are not stupid, and sometimes they are more understanding of the world than the people in the city.
However, these words must have been overheard by Erxia when the couple was discussing, so he laughed and scolded: "You should be more careful about being whipped if you overhear what the adults are saying!"
"Erxia! Elbow! You guys!" What are you doing?”
“Is this fishing?”
"This equipment is so strange!"
Zhou Zhi turned around, but it was Li Lu, Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao who came over. Li Lu was holding the two little girls Ziqi Aguo and Qiu Molili, followed behind Muxia Laha, Amulano brothers, as well as Chi'er, Rimu, Sezi, Lazi and other children.
"We're fishing. It's New Rice Festival today, so we'll add vegetables!" Zhou Zhi looked a little proud. (End of this chapter)
