What are the special laws and customs of lilliputian countries?

Yunnan Lilliputian is actually a gathering place for dwarf patients. They work in a tourist area called Lilliput and perform for tourists.

Their living quarters and so on are specially made for them, and the state subsidizes them a little.

Dance on a rope to choose an official, or whoever jumps high to choose an official.

Detailed:

Dancing on the rope is used to select officials. The version I read has no comments. I wonder how British scholars interpret what "dancing on a rope" implies? Perhaps it implied that the western European countries, represented by Britain and France at that time, often appointed people who could please the king, but they did not necessarily have the talent to govern the world. At that time, the British county magistrate, the French governor and other important officials were often such political clowns who could please the court, but it was difficult to have real talents and practical knowledge.

The blue, red and green silk thread is actually an allusion to the ribbons and medals distributed indiscriminately by the British government at that time. In Britain and France, the government awards ribbons and medals to some meritorious personnel every year, with the blue ribbon being the highest, followed by the red ribbon and the green ribbon. In Britain, since Henry VIII in the 6th century, no more than 10 people have been awarded blue ribbons every year according to the Honor Act, but only 15 people are red and only 20 people are green.

In the author's time, the British two parties strongly canvassed non-bipartisan members. At that time, walpole added a clause that "the number of grantors can be appropriately increased under special circumstances" to canvass votes, and then promised that supporters would receive ribbons. It was announced in June 165438+ 10 after being elected as the cabinet finance minister for the second time (this position was later the British prime minister).

After he stepped down, the opposition party (Tories) came to power, and it did the same thing or even intensified, making the blue ribbon awarded to more than 20 people almost every year at that time, and the green ribbon once reached the "glory" of 50 people.

The purpose of awarding prizes is only to canvass votes, which has greatly changed the original intention of setting up a ribbon system to reward outstanding meritorious personnel.

Lilliputian countries use skipping rope to select officials, implying the corruption and incompetence of British monarchs and the incompetence and speculation of ruling officials. The struggle between the high heel party and the low heel party is used to imply the struggle between the Tories and Whigs, the two major ruling parties in Britain. King Brobnege, who is knowledgeable, rational and kind, and King Hui, who is rational, wise, kind and just, are all incarnations of enlightened and virtuous monarchs.

This is a little more detailed information I found, hoping to help you.
