Chapter 37 7. The boss is a foreigner

Chinese characters are hieroglyphs, which, to put it bluntly, are like a painting.This has led to a more vivid thinking of the Chinese people. When naming a person, the origin of the person can often be seen from the name.For example, Zhuanxu had a teacher named Boyi. What does the name Boyi mean? What Boyi meant was that the eldest in the family is a foreigner... such a name is really awkward. Boyi's father was born in Xiyue, and Xiyue gave birth to Xianlong. Xianlong was the surname of Shisheng Qiang, and Di Qiang was the surname of Qi. ——"Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing" This record is about the origin of Master Zhuanxu. It said that Boyi's father gave birth to Xiyue, Xiyue gave birth to Xianlong, and the descendants of Xianlong were Diqiang, whose surname was Qi.

This textual record is really strange, because the two ethnic groups Di and Qiang did enter China from the west. Could it be that the imperial system in ancient China has something to do with the big-nosed foreigners? This record says that China's imperial system was first established by a group of foreigners who fled from the West. When this group of foreigners arrived in China, they didn't even have a name at first, but later they used some unlucky names. Chinese characters, as their names. This record is not good, maybe our interpretation is wrong? But such things have indeed happened repeatedly in history. For example, Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty was a Xianbei from outside the Great Wall; another example is the Qing Dynasty, which was also an autocratic regime established by the Sushen people in the northeast who entered China.
