Chapter 2 Dan People
Hong Tao originally wanted to make confusing words with the man who rowed the boat, but he opened his mouth and sipped sea water. After trying it several times, he gave up. Be honest and be a dead dog. If you have anything to do, let’s talk about it. Although these two people saved him, Hong Tao decided to let them suffer because they were too rude to him.
The island soon revealed its full picture. It was too small, less than 200 meters wide, and it was full of stones. It was called an island, but it was actually a group of reefs exposed to the sea. There were no buildings on the island, which was very appropriate to describe it as not growing in grass. The boat was not going to the island, but just passing by the island. At this time, Hong Tao vaguely saw that there seemed to be a continent in front, and there were several small boats with similar appearances on the sea.
As he got closer to that continent, Hong Tao's body became colder and his teeth began to tremble. The boat dragged him for about ten kilometers. Fortunately, there were no sailfish or sharks here. Otherwise, after reaching the shore, whether he had himself on the rope was a big problem. Not only was his body cold, but his heart was also cold, and it was cold. Why? Because there were more and more small boats, no matter how big they were, they had a common feature, which was that they were broken and had no mechanical power. In addition to the sailing boat, they were carrying a oar behind them and were rowed by people. The dress of the people on the boat was the same as their boats, just one word, broken! Patches are already the norm, and patches are not uncommon.
Hong Tao is very good at analyzing. After thinking about it, he still didn't figure out that China could have such a state of coastal villages and towns. If so, it must become a nationally renowned tourist destination. Unfortunately, he worked in a tourism company for several years and has never heard of it. If not, then what do they mean? That can only mean one thing, the times are different. In other words, Hong Tao feels that he has traveled 99% again. As for what era he traveled to, he cannot accurately judge. Judging from the lack of motor ships, it should be before liberation, but not the Qing Dynasty, because they did not have braids. However, they both have long hair and should not be the Republic of China, so there is a great possibility that the Ming Dynasty or even further forward.
"I'll be your ancestors! You're called cheating!" After making some assessment in his heart, Hong Tao simply lay on the sea with a rope in his arms. Anyway, he's a dead dog, so he doesn't care about his posture. What's more, he wants to communicate with the thing in the sky to see if he can talk about the conditions and not let himself travel to the ancient times. Is this knowledge in his mind useful to put in the ancient times? Unfortunately, after muttering for a long time, the voice that once talked to him in a confused state never appeared.
Before Hong Tao could connect with the man in the sky, the boat suddenly slowed down, and a woman's voice appeared and was greeting the people on the boat. Hong Tao turned over with a rope, and then realized that it was almost at the shore. There were three larger wooden boats floating on the water, leaning side by side. A woman wearing blue clothes and blue pants and a flower turban was waving to this side. At this time, she also noticed Hong Tao in the water. She was very surprised and couldn't help but cover her mouth and stared at Hong Tao with her eyes widened.
"Grandma!...¥%¥#…&" This girl is not tall and has dark skin. She is about 20 years old. Her lower body has a short and thick legs. She is hanging to her calf. She feels like a cropped pants in later generations with barefoot. The top is dark blue like the pants, but the collar and cuffs have a circle of black borders, and the style is very ancient, a bit like the round-necked cloth jacket from the Ming and Qing dynasties. She is very brave. Although she was startled by Hong Tao, she didn't run or hide. She asked the old man on the boat with a crisp voice. Unfortunately, Hong Tao only understood one word. This old man seemed to be her grandfather.
"Native people...&%¥¥&" The old man leaned on the boat and threw the cable over and answered, Hong Tao understood another word, native people!
"I am not a native, I am a Han Chinese, a Han Chinese from Nanyang!" Hong Tao was so angry that he called himself a native. He had probably seen what these people were, and he could start making up lies.
If Hong Tao only saw these two men, he could not be sure who they were. Since the woman appeared, Hong Tao felt familiar. After a little thought, he would think of a very strange nation, the Dan people! To be precise, the Dan people are not a nation. They have many sayings of their origin. Some say they are descendants of the South Vietnamese, some say they are descendants of the Qin people, and some say they migrated from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. All ethnic groups have them.
The reason why they were called dan people is because their boats were high at both ends and there was a shack in the middle, which looked round like an egg. This was not fabricated by Hong Tao, but later in the museums of Sanya. Hong Tao has brought tour groups here more than once. Not only are there dan people on Hainan Island, but there are dan people in the coastal areas of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, and even Southeast Asian countries. Their unique living habits have become a local tourism project.
The sacred people have lived on the water for generations. A family of one boat, and several families of several boats are connected in a row, which is their village. In addition to fishing and shrimp, they also use boats to carry cargo and passengers. The famous pearl-picking girl is the sacred girl. The sacred people moved to land until the end of the Qing Dynasty, but they still used the sea as their main activity area. For example, operating fish steaks at sea and conducting offshore breeding, etc. Every sacred people basically regard the fishing boat as the most important property in their family. Not only should there be houses on land, but there must also be a boat in the water to be considered a happy life.
The clothing of the skull people is very simple. Men are black or blue cloth pants, with thick and short legs and barefoot. Women's clothes are a little more particular. A pair of black borders will be sealed at the mouth of the cuffs and neck pants, and a single or patterned headband is wrapped around the headband. Some even wear a bamboo hat on the skull. However, the skull people have been poor since ancient times because all dynasties have discriminated against them and are basically not allowed to live ashore. Because they work on the sea all year round, they have developed a tough personality. If they have disagreements, they will fight with each other and have no place to live, which is difficult to manage.
