What is the difference between the black Miao and the white Miao?

there are differences. What nationalities do the "black seedlings" and "white seedlings" come from in reality? \ r \ nAlthough these two ethnic groups in the new Xianjian both call themselves "Miao people" and their country is also called "Miao territory", I don't think they have anything to do with the Miao people in reality! Because in reality, there are ethnic minorities who are more in line with the historical background of black and white Miao than Miao. This is the Yi people corresponding to "Black Miao" and the Bai people corresponding to "White Miao". Although there are classifications of "black seedlings", "white seedlings", "flower seedlings" and "green seedlings" in Hundred Miao Pictures in Qing Dynasty (now in Taiwan Province), it is because of the geographical barrier in southwest China that all branches of Miao people advocate different colors. In addition, the ethnic classification in the Qing Dynasty was unscientific. Classifiers classified many ethnic minorities in southwest China into Miao nationality, and only subdivided them by the differences in clothing colors. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that Zhao Linger is from the Miao nationality only by the word "Miao" in the black and white Miao nationality. According to my research, "Black Miao" and "White Miao" should be closely related to the Yi and Bai people in reality, that is, the "Black Miao" in the game comes from the Yi people and the "White Miao" comes from the Bai people. \ r \ nFirst of all, from the perspective of ethnic distribution, in 199, the Miao population was 7,398,4, 52% of which was distributed in Guizhou. Nanzhao and Dali in the story of the New Fairy Sword were both in Yunnan, but only 15% of the Miao people lived in Yunnan. For the Yi people, the population in 199 was 6,572,17, 6% of which were distributed in Yunnan. In 199, the Bai population was 1,594,83, 9% of which were in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan! The eastern part of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture borders weichu. Even in Dali Prefecture, although Bai is the largest minority with 33% of the population, Yi is the second largest minority with 12% of the population. \ r \ nSecondly, from the linguistic point of view, Miao language belongs to Miao language branch of Miao Yao language family of Sino-Tibetan language family. The Yi language belongs to the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman family of the Sino-Tibetan language family, and the Bai language belongs to the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman family of the Sino-Tibetan language family, just like the Yi language. \ r \ nThen judging from the national characteristics such as dress customs, Miao people like silver headdresses, which are exquisitely made. However, the Yi and Bai people obviously do not have this custom. Yi men wrap their heads in black cloth or blue cloth, and tie a prominent slender conical horn at the right front-"hero knot". Women wear colored or black headscarves, trimmed or embroidered right-back tops, and long pleated skirts (this is beautiful). When going out, both men and women wear black cloaks woven with wool. Bai men like to wrap their heads in white cloth or blue cloth and wear white clothes and trousers. Bai people have a saying, "Be handsome and be filial", which shows their preference for white. The woman's headdress is the famous "Phoenix hat" (this is also beautiful). There are four anecdotes in this headdress: Xiaguan Wind (long white spike hanging from the left shoulder), Shangguan Flower (red Du Juanhua embedded in the brim), Cangshan Snow (white spike protruding from the brim last week) and Erhai Moon (the shape of a hat before bangs). In the new fairy sword, when Shenmulin walked with Anu, her initial equipment had a phoenix hat, but from the outside, it was different from the headdress of Bai women now. Women like to wear white coats, wide blue jackets and short waists with embroidered ribbons. From the game, it is obvious that the artist of Daewoo designed his appearance according to the clothes of Yi men, whether it is his dialogue head or the battle picture. And the modeling of "Bai Miao" Geluojiao and others obviously borrowed from the costumes of Bai women. In addition, in the past, both Yi and Bai people used tigers as totems, and now the famous "Torch Festival" is celebrated on June 24th of the lunar calendar for Yi people and June 25th for Bai people. The Miao people have no similar customs. \ r \ nFinally, let's look at the origin and kinship of these ethnic groups. The origin of Miao nationality is very complicated. At present, it is a common view that the ancestors of Miao nationality migrated from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to the southwest of the motherland and assimilated the Guyue nationality and some ethnic groups in the southwest to form Miao nationality. For Yi and Bai people, it is generally believed that they all originated from the Bianqiang people who lived in southwest Gansu and most of Qinghai in ancient times, and their activity centers were in Xichang, Sichuan and Dianchi Lake, Yunnan from pre-Qin to early AD. After the 3rd century (the Three Kingdoms period), it gradually went south to the northeast and south of Yunnan and the northwest of Guizhou. At this time, four families, including the Xian family, ruled the local area. In the 5th and 6th centuries (Southern and Northern Dynasties), cuan clan became the most powerful surname in Yunnan, so people called its commanders' southwest ethnic minorities "Xian". In the Han people's book Man Shu, it is divided into two parts: East and West. In terms of ethnicity, the east is dominated by Wu Man, while the west is dominated by Bai Man. Wuman and Baiman are the same ancestors of Yi, Bai and other ethnic minorities in Southwest China. It should be pointed out that calling "Wu Man" and "Bai Man" at this time is the disrespect of the Han nationality to ethnic minorities. "Black" and "white" mean "raw" and "cooked". Those who have a lot of contacts with the Han nationality and actively accept Chinese culture are called white barbarians, and vice versa. In Man Shu, it takes three turns and five turns (meaning translation) to communicate with Chinese, while Bai Man's pronunciation is the most correct (the "correct" here is compared with Chinese). At present, 5 ~ 6% of the vernacular Chinese uses Chinese characters or Chinese loanwords. The custom of using Chinese characters to record white language can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. This may provide inspiration for the game in which "Black Miao" hates the Han people, while "White Miao" lives in harmony with the Han people. \ r \ nThe historical Wuman and Baiman and the present Yi and Bai nationalities \ r \ nNow that it can be said for sure that the "black Miao" and "Bai Miao" in the new fairy sword correspond to the actual Yi and Bai nationalities respectively, we can't help but mention the historical Wuman and Baiman if we want to continue to understand their historical background. \ r \ nFirst of all, it is pointed out that Wuman and Baiman are not ethnic groups, but the Han people's disparaging names for southwest ethnic minorities at that time. In fact, there was no real concept of nationality at that time. It is generally believed that Wuman and Baiman are the same ancestors of Yi and Bai. On the basis of Wuman, other ethnic minorities in Southwest China were merged to form the later Yi people, and on the basis of Baiman, some Han people and Wuman people were merged to form the later Bai people. \ r \ nAs mentioned earlier, in the 5th century, the southwest was ruled by cuan clan, until the Sui Dynasty actually formed a local separatist regime in the southwest. When Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the Han army made a large-scale conquest of cuan clan. Although it did not destroy it, it dealt a heavy blow to its strength and prepared the conditions for the rise of the barbarian Nanzhao Kingdom in the future. \ r \ nDuring the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty (627 ~ 649), the Central Plains regime successively set up 92 Jimi states in the area ruled by Cuan. In the 26th year of Kaiyuan (738), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made Piluoge, the leader of Wuman, king of Yunnan. After Piluoge unified the ministries of Ukraine and Baiman to establish Nanzhao Kingdom ("imperial edict" means "king"). Nanzhao (649 ~ 92) was a frontier ethnic regime of slavery established by the Wuman and the Baiman in southwest China. Nanzhao's initial foreign policy was originally intended to rely on the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. However, at this time, Xuanzong, under the control of Yang Guozhong, practiced the policy of alienating ethnic minorities, making them conquer each other, and controlling them by barbarians. Nanzhao had to stand on the side of Tubo, which was in fierce conflict with the Tang Dynasty at that time. However, Nanzhao continued to show kindness to the Tang Dynasty. Tens of thousands of troops that Xuanzong later sent to conquer were killed by Nanzhao. Nanzhao also buried the bodies of Tang Jun's dead soldiers, and erected a monument in front of mass graves to show such helplessness. After the Anshi Rebellion, the power contrast between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo was obviously biased towards the Tubo side. Tubo not only occupied the Western Regions and the Northern Court of the Tang Dynasty (equivalent to Gansu, Xinjiang and Mongolia to the west of Shaanxi now), but also entered Chang 'an, forcing the Tang Emperor to flee. Therefore, in order to break Tubo's right arm, the Tang Dynasty changed its policy towards Nanzhao. Nanzhao also suffered from the oppression and exploitation of Tubo. The two sides hit it off, and the relationship was much warmer than at first. Nanzhao quickly became powerful, and its ruling area included southwest Sichuan south of Dadu River, all of Yunnan and vast areas in northwest Guizhou. Even conquered Burma and Cambodia in Indochina Peninsula. In the early days of Nanzhao, Luo Feng, the second generation of Nanzhao Wang Ge, forcibly moved the white man originally distributed in central Yunnan to northwest Yunnan, making Cangshan Erhai area the economic and cultural center of Nanzhao, and it was here that the Bai people grew up as a nation. Nanzhao also raided Chengdu in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, plundering more than 3, craftsmen and residents. These Han people's skills and knowledge promoted Nanzhao's development, made its political system deeply influenced by the Central Plains, and its culture and education imitated the Central Plains. \ r \ nNanzhao's history is basically the same as that of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the period, the regime fell into the hands of Zheng Maisi, a descendant of the Han people who were plundered from Chengdu at that time. At this time, he was assimilated into Bai Man. Zheng Maisi ascended the throne by wrist, but was soon replaced by others. The regime has been in the hands of several big names for more than 3 years. In the second year of Tianfu in the Late Jin Dynasty (937), Duan Siping, the big name of Bai Man, established the Dali Kingdom on the ruins of Nanzhao regime (937 ~ 1253), which was a national regime established by ethnic minorities with Bai ancestors as the main body in Yunnan today. Its ruling area extends to Hengshan of Pu 'an Road in the east (now Pu 'an, Guizhou), Jiangtou City of Myanmar in the west (now Jiesha, Myanmar), Lucang River of Lin 'an Road in the south (now Heihe River in the north of Laizhou, Vietnam) and Dadu River of Rolos in the north. The political system is basically the same as Nanzhao, but the social economy has developed greatly compared with Nanzhao. Many people first learned about Dali from Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts master's masterpiece "Tianlong Babu". In fact, Dali is indeed a tourist attraction with rich ethnic customs. If you have a chance to go, don't forget to take a photo with the Bai girls at the edge of butterfly spring, and then try the famous Bai three tea! It would be even better if we caught up with the Torch Festival. Hehe ~ \ r \ nDali was more friendly to the Han regime in the Central Plains at this time than Nanzhao. The king of Dali kept asking the Song Emperor to add the title. However, in the Song Dynasty, Tang Jun's main force defended Nanzhao in the southwest during the Huang Chao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, which led to the destruction of Chang 'an and accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty, so it was always wary of Dali. Later, I saw that Dali really pursued pacifism, which was very different from Liao, Jin and Xixia in the north. Only then did I seal the king of Dali and open a mutual trade. In the early period of Dali, the royal power was relatively concentrated. By the middle period, local governors were gradually out of control, many of them established their own independent kingdoms, and some even threatened the rule of Dali King by force. At this time, a high-ranking warlord rose up and worked hard, relying on his strength to flatten governors everywhere, and he was also made prime minister for his work. But who knows this gentleman has other plans? Later, he forced King Duan to give way to him. However, after being on the stage for a period of time, this gentleman found that when the king became the target of public criticism, he did not stand behind the king and manipulate it more readily, so he told his son to give way to Duan before he died. So Duan's country was restored to the motherland. After that, the post of Dali Prime Minister was held by Gao's descendants (similar to the hereditary Japanese shogunate), and the later period of Dali was also called the post-management country. At this time, the regime was in Gao's hands, and the Duan's king was just a puppet. By the way, the first king of the post-Li kingdom was named Duan Zhengchun. Hehe, it was not the lover in "Eight Dragons"! Also, the name of his son-the next king-is Duan Heyu (not Duan Yu). It seems that the old man Jin Yong also referred to some historical background of Dali! \r\n) Historical background of "Black Miao" and "White Miao" \ r \ nDali has always been associated with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. In 1253, in order to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia entered Dali to form an encirclement of the Southern Song Dynasty. Prime Minister Gao led troops to resist being killed, and King Duan fled and was captured. Kublai Khan named the last king of Dali as the hereditary general manager of Dali, managing the area near Dali City, and named a son as Liang Wang, who was the hereditary supervisor of Yunnan. Later, Yunnan Province was established. Duan thanked Kublai Khan for not killing him, and recruited Bai Man and Wu Man's children to form an "inch white army" (that is, a white army) to assist the Yuan Army in fighting, and made many achievements in the battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River. \r\n After the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang, he sent troops into Yunnan, and let Mu Ying (the ancestor of Muwangfu Mujianping in The Duke Of Mount Deer) stay in Yunnan forever. At this point, kingdom of dali only withdrew from the historical stage, and Dali became a thing of the past in people's memory. \ r \ n ※ These two ethnic groups were both formed in the Yuan \r\n Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Yi people were called Hei Cuo or Luo Luo, calling themselves "Nuosu" and "Nasu" ("Nuo" means black, "Su" means human), Luo Luo and so on. After liberation, the Yi nationality was officially named after the name of a ritual vessel during its national sacrifice. After liberation, slavery was abolished in Yi areas, enabling 69, slaves to gain personal freedom and equal political status. Yi people take rice, corn, buckwheat and potatoes as their staple foods, and wooden utensils are painted with red, black and yellow paints. Yi people believe in polytheism and worship their ancestors. There is no evidence that they have a special worship of Nu Wa. Yi people practice cremation. There are stories of "Axi jumping on the moon" and "Ashima" circulating among the people. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the Bai people were called Bai Yi, Bai, etc. They called themselves "Bai Zi" and "Bai Ni". After liberation, it was officially named Bai. Bai people are mainly engaged in agriculture. Grow rice and be good at smelting copper. Handicraft industry is developed, and marble processing has been famous at home and abroad since the Tang Dynasty. Lacquer, silver and carpentry are all famous for their exquisite skills. "March Street" in Dali and "Yutanhui" in Deng Chuan are both trade fairs (and now they are also tourism projects). The Bai people's staple food is rice, wheat, corn and buckwheat. Bai people believe in Buddhism and the Lord (village god). The owner is generally not a single one, but the owner, the couple and the descendants of the attendants, ranging from more than 2 to more than 8. There are different villages in different places, including natural gods, historical generals and officials, national heroes and righteous women. I also believe in witches and ghosts. There is also no evidence to prove that he believes in Nu Wa. Bai people do not use coffins for burial, but hang crossbows or weaving tools used by the deceased before their death in front of the grave. Bai people also have many folklores, among which "Five Golden Flowers" is the most famous. \ r \ nTaihe City was abandoned in the Yuan Dynasty, so we don't know much about the layout of palaces, houses and streets in the city today. Today, there are only two ruins of the city wall in the north and south; The western end of the north wall starts from the peak of Cangshan Buddha and extends eastward to the shore of Erhai Lake, with a total length of about 2 kilometers. The western end of the south city wall starts from the northern foot of Wuzhishan and extends eastward to Erhai Village, with a total length of about 1.5 kilometers. The two city walls are made of rammed earth layer by layer, which is very strong, and the well-preserved eastern part of the south city wall is still about 3 meters above the ground. The peak of the Buddha is the commanding height of the whole city. Originally, there was a small town called "King Kong City" or "Nanzhao Summer Palace", which was irregular and round, with a circumference of about 1 km, connected with the northern city wall. There was a earthen platform in the city, which should be the base of the original building, with an area of about 3,6 meters. This small town should be a part of Taihe City. Around today's Taihe Village and on the gentle slope of the peak of the Buddha, there are occasional Nanzhao relics such as thick cloth tiles and orange pottery pieces before and after liberation. \r\n Taihe City is the vault, on which the Nanzhao King also built Longkou City and Longwei City, which were called "Longshouguan" and "Longweiguan" in later records, and were built again and again. The former is in today's Dali Shangguan, while the latter is in Dali Xiaguan, but only sites are preserved. \r\n In the 14th year of Dali (779), Nanzhao and Tubo joined forces to attack Chengdu, and suffered a crushing defeat. Fearing that Tubo would be angry with himself, King Nanzhao moved the capital from Taihe City to Yangmao City (later Dali City) and "built fifteen miles". The ruins of Yangju City are located in the west of the old city of Dali today, and are later called "Zicheng" and "Dali". It has been the capital of local government for more than 47 years from the middle and late Nanzhao to the extinction of Dali. \ r \ nChoose Yangmao City as the capital, just like the capital of Taihe City in those days, because it "leans on Cangshan Mountain in the west and Erhai Lake in the east", that is, Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake can also be used as a natural barrier, only
