A Primitive Man's Diary

More than 90% of Qidian's original novels are of the fantasy genre, and less than 10% of the original historical novels are of the historical genre. Good-looking historical novels are worth less than gold. This historical novel is by far the best-looking one for me. Unlike other similar types, there are not some strange powers, but also some totem gods, or some strange plants and animals. I still like this kind of pure original writing.

There is a place in this book that I would like to share with you. The end of the matrilineal clan is related to the emergence of early farming. In fact, the truth is very simple. Whoever controls production and distribution is the leader. Blood relationship is only a subsidiary state. It is even said that tribes do not consider blood relationship to be distant at all. It is not as simple as the story in primary school history books about blood being the foundation of a clan, only knowing one's mother but not knowing one's father. I think this statement demeans the status and dignity of women. Animals all know that they choose strong mates, but after you enter civilization, women are not as smart as animals? The core of the right to speak is the control of the means of production and the ownership of the right to distribute materials. In the early days when fishing, hunting and gathering were the main focus, males mainly hunted and females mainly gathered. The income from hunting is unstable, meaning you will be hungry for two days and you will be full for two days, while gathering is relatively stable. Although it is not guaranteed to be half full, it is still guaranteed. The overall society is biased toward a matrilineal society. The clan will have an elder who will be the imparter of knowledge and distributor of materials, and will also be the leader of the clan. Usually this elder is a female. The first reason is that females have more gathering knowledge. The second reason is that the males who are mainly responsible for hunting in primitive societies do not live to be old. But things changed after humans domesticated cereals. People found that cereals were becoming more and more productive, and hunting was not as profitable as farming. Eating more will stimulate fertility, and a larger population will in turn require more farmland. Relying solely on females could not cultivate so much arable land, so males had to be introduced to participate in agricultural production, thus officially transitioning to farming civilization. Males are more advantageous in physical labor and play a huge role in expanding the scale of agricultural production. In terms of protecting farmland, males have more prominent fighting capabilities. Gradually, the right to speak began to shift. At this time, during the transition from tribe to civilization, wars and exchanges of interests continued to occur during the merger and integration of various tribes. At this stage, the female right to speak is gradually lost. Looking for relevant records from legends, it should belong to the Central Plains of Yanhuang. After the integration of the Central Plains tribes, due to annual battles, males basically dominated the society with force and productive labor, forming a father-in-law inherited by blood. According to legend, the abdication system was transformed into a blood system, the public world was transformed into a family world, and patriarchy was gradually consolidated, eventually leading to the oppression of women in later generations. Among them, the first large-scale oppression that was even engraved in the culture was during the Song Dynasty, and the second large-scale oppression was during the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, it's very fragmentary. The transfer of voice is also related to production redundancy, the emergence of private rights, and even early transactions and commercial prototypes. The author has a great heart when writing about this subject, but I wonder how much he knows about it?

A matriarchal society is not a female-headed society. It is a large family with women as blood ties. The head of the family is still a man. For the specific social form, you can refer to the lion group. Bows and arrows are useless, and slings and spears are more practical.

The protagonist's logical thinking does not conform to reality, and some of it is too confusing. Let me give the author a rundown of the development direction of normal people after traveling to primitive tribes: 1. First, solve basic survival problems (food + weapons), and cleanliness and hygiene (clean water, haircuts and nail clippings, bathing, clean clothes, lice elimination); 2. Develop urgently needed and easy-to-operate light industries ~ pottery making (partly for personal use, The excess can be exchanged with other wealthy materials for the population of other tribes), salt production (tracking sheep, deer and other animals, collecting rock salt to melt), fishing (building embankments to leave holes, weaving bamboo cages, weaving nets for fishing, openings on the ice in winter), digging ponds and raising fish; 3. With surplus food, you can continue to exchange and absorb the population, forming a positive cycle Ring; 4. With a continuously surplus population, it is possible to mine and make furnaces and make metal tools to improve and develop productivity, and then use the surplus metal to make arrowheads, spear points, and spear points; combined with wooden shields and rattan armor, it not only improves combat effectiveness, but also helps hunting and self-protection of tribes; 5. With the ability to protect yourself, you can In order to speed up transactions, absorb more people and materials, and then increase productivity, develop livestock breeding, planting, building houses, and city construction. With sufficient security and sufficient survival material foundation, we can further improve the quality of life (weaving, clothing making, shoemaking...), And then form a virtuous circle and continue to develop...

Many people are very concerned about getting salt quickly, but I feel that it is boring to get salt easily. This article becomes a cool article. This will soon cause other tribes to have nothing valuable to trade with you, and many of the things invented by you are not so interesting. The reason is that salt is too valuable. Many novels that occupy salt-producing areas in the early stage are like cheating. It is more reasonable to depict the salt-producing area as a rich ally or a big boss that can be annexed.

The author assumes that the diameter of a half-day journey for an average primitive person is the tribe's activity range, which can also be regarded as territory. It should not overlap with the territory of neighboring tribes. This setting is basically logical. A modern healthy adult man can walk 5 kilometers in one hour and 25 kilometers in 5 hours. The walking ability of primitive people will not be lower than this number. Therefore, if it is a plain, with 10 hours of activity time, the activity range of primitive people should be a circle with a diameter of 50 kilometers, totaling 1963 square kilometers. This is a very huge piece of land, which can be compared with the total area of ​​Shenzhen City of 1997 square kilometers. Imagine that a group of people like the Ba tribe live in such a large area of ​​Shenzhen. Isn't it a bit too spacious? ! A casual check revealed that the area of ​​Jiangsu Province is 107,200, and that of Hubei is 185,900. If the Ba tribe has a population of 100 people (in fact, the U tribe's setting of more than 500 people is a bit too large. It is difficult to imagine the scale of 500 people for a primitive tribe in a mountainous area, where they grow like hair and drink blood). In such a large area, Hubei Province can only have a population of 95 Ba tribes, less than 10,000 people. A country as big as Hubei Province is considered a big country outside of China. I don't know if it was that big during the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties. So I think the territory of a tribe should be greatly reduced, otherwise the population density will be horribly low. The entire territory of China is equivalent to the Qin Dynasty, which has a population of less than 200,000, and the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty can be called the emperor of the ages. The population is too small. In addition to the tribe's own technological advancement and farming, the plot of external exploration and conquest will be greatly restricted. Therefore, we should find ways to reduce the area of ​​each tribe, or increase the population of a single tribe, which can increase the overall population density. On the one hand, due to the influence of mountains and rivers, the territory of mountain tribes will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, they will definitely reach plain areas in the future. Then increase the population of each tribe, and there can be more large tribes with 500 people. No matter how large the tribe is, they must master planting, otherwise it is unimaginable.

I have read more than sixty chapters, and it is a similar plot again. The weak protagonist goes to the strong man with a good thing, but the strong man refuses to take it away, allowing the protagonist to lose his temper, and the strong man keeps smiling. It's unreasonable for this kind of protagonist to live!

Every time I see Saga, I feel like the author is writing an original diary of a Japanese island. Your book will definitely be popular in Japan.

The rest of the book is pretty good. Why do I keep thinking about those mushrooms and sashimi? One of these two things can lead to death. The survival of primitive people is the most important thing. Even if the risk is only 10%, they would not dare to touch it. As a result, not only did you eat a lot, but you also pushed it to other tribes to eat together. If you don't have anything to write in the future, will you have to use mud to cover a table of mahjong?

In Chapter 20, people ran away all of a sudden, and they couldn't even find any salt, so they had to make paper! We still have to worry about weaving, and they are all naked! The original steps include normal food, salt, clay pots, weapons, etc., And then collecting them into tribes, so that food can be stably maintained and circulated, and the safety of the living environment can be improved! As soon as you pass through, you need paper and cloth. The author is really a delicate person. He would rather use stones to scrape in the wild than use leaves! No wonder there were many people before Chapter 20, but after Chapter 20, they were just like Leng Muqiuqiu!
