Chapter 23 5. The Second Appearance of the Snake

It has become clear that the transformation of the sheep girl into a Qiang is a critical moment of the revolution. We don't know whether it is the woman who takes the initiative to give way to the virtuous, or the man who seizes power forcefully between those delicate and sensitive fingers.If the latter, then the snake must have played a very bad role in it. The snake is a cunning fellow, it has been lurking for a long time. In fact, the snake is also a second appearance.The first time, in the time of Eve, turned reproduction into sex.Back then it was sexy and candid, the unsung hero who took the blame.After success, the snake retired and the frog came to power.Frog or Nuwa turned sex into reproduction and invented reproductive worship.Procreation becomes sex, and animals become people.The reproductive worship was born, and it naturally became a culture.

Both snakes and frogs contributed to the two advancements of human beings. Therefore, according to the principle of taking turns to sit in the manor, the snake will of course appear on the stage again.It's just that no one thought that the sexy and honest snake would become evil, cunning and greedy.Its platform has been sitting for thousands of years.What is even more unexpected is that its purpose this time is not to make women happy, but to make itself happy.It not only monopolizes the stage of history, but also uses the public power in its hands to privately turn Nuwa into a snake. This can be called sinister intentions.

However, the snake pretending to be a doctor wiped off all the fingerprints after the operation, destroyed the crime tools, and quickly evacuated the scene.He also changed his face and turned into a cow, with an innocent face.As a result, the big lie of "Nuwa is a snake" deceived many nerds and honest people. It's a pity that no matter how cunning the snake is, it would never have thought that its accomplice would leave evidence.The accomplice is the bird, and the evidence is a series.This pattern was found on brick carvings until the Ming Dynasty.These clues eloquently prove that snakes swallowing frogs and birds eating fish are not only common in nature, but also an amazing scene in history.

Snake, why can it succeed? The root cause is economics.In the late stage of matrilineal clan society, the ownership of property already exists.Although it was still "husband and wife live together" at that time, if they broke up, the man could leave with his labor tools, livestock and food, while the woman could only keep her pots and pans, sit and guard the empty nest, and recruit and surrender. Rebel.

This matter cannot be passed through the past.There wasn't much real estate in those days, and what men owned was worth a lot more.Livestock, for example, can be eaten or used. They are means of subsistence and labor tools.What's more, later on, men have new "livestock".This is a slave, a prisoner of war captured by men.Moreover, these cheapest labor forces, as Engels said, are as easy to reproduce as livestock.

At this time, men are both capitalists and rulers, with bulging wallets, like wolves and tigers. Wealth is bound to be rough.The man who created the industry can no longer tolerate the blood relationship being calculated according to the matrilineal line.Because that means that the family property he earns has nothing to do with his son, but the mother-in-law and sister-in-law have a share, and it will even be transferred to the account of another man and child.You know, women at that time could have many sexual partners. Therefore, this system must be abolished. In fact it was abolished as well.Although this is one of the most radical revolutions that mankind has ever experienced, it is actually easier to do than the current real estate transfer.However, women have since lost their property rights, including ownership, control and inheritance.At the same time, they also lost their political rights, including the right to participate, discuss, govern, vote and be elected.These rights, even in the democratic period of ancient Greece, women did not have.In old China, they were also deprived of the right to offer sacrifices.This was the most important right in ancient society.

Women who do not have the right to sacrifice will die differently.In the Qin Wei family in Linxia, ​​Gansu, archaeologists discovered an ancient tomb from the patrilineal clan era.In more than a dozen tombs where husbands and wives are buried together, the men are all on their backs, carefree; the women are all bent and sideways, aggrieved.The meaning of men superior to women is clear. This is really unequal.
