C3115 Three Civilizations in the Middle Ancient World (1/2)

Darwin's theory of evolution would be about the effects of the environment on living things, and it is precisely because of the differences in the environment that the same kind of living things mutate.

The influence of environment on human beings is extremely huge. Environment can affect a people's survival mode, eating habits, clothing characteristics, marriage and love reproduction, national character … There was no way for them to escape.

The farming civilization will have the matching social order and ethics of the farming civilization, the matching state institutions and the character characteristics of the whole ethnic group.

In the Middle Ages, the farming civilization was the safest of the different types of civilizations. Although they would encounter natural and man-made disasters, it was still the safest one compared to the nomadic peoples and the fishing civilization.

With the harvest of spring and autumn, humans finally no longer had to rely on migration to find food to survive. You only needed to stay in a region for generations, and if you worked diligently and tirelessly, you would be able to live past this lifetime and even reproduce with a large number of descendants.

Such a model of survival had long since been established in the human cities. Furthermore, there would be a set of moral and cultural models suitable for the permanent residence of humans.

For example, the filial piety of the Chinese people was a characteristic of the farming civilization. Of course, it was not that the nomadic peoples and the hunters were not filial, but there were also filial piety amongst the animals.

It was said that the filial piety of a farming civilization was a compulsory means with the function of punishment and could not be defied!

The filial piety of other civilizations is only from the heart. They call that filial piety love, and love has no legal obligation.

Why does the farming civilization place so much emphasis on filial piety? Because this kind of culture was very suitable for locking people in the ground, making it impossible for you to leave your hometown for the rest of your life, even for future generations.

You just have to plant your land properly in this piece of land. Once you plant your land well, you will be able to live and your farming civilization will be preserved!

There were many other specialties of the farming civilization, and there was probably no end to the examples even after three days and three nights. However, most of the people who came out of the farming civilization had common features.

Due to the poor mobility of the population, words, books, etc., could be passed down from generation to generation. The history of 3,000 years ago, the descendants of the farming civilization all had the same understanding of it as if it was an imprint on their palm.

But you asked the people of the nomadic peoples about the history of their nation's 3000 years ago? If he can sing you two legend, he can enter intangible cultural heritage!

But look at the Chinese people in the farming society. Three thousand years ago, there was a lot of bloodshed in the imperial court, and now they were telling wonderful stories, which were as clear as what happened yesterday.

The second characteristic of the farming civilization was that the people had a high tolerance for cumbersome pressure. Although the intensity of agricultural production was not big, it was very average and also very cumbersome!

During the four seasons of the year, besides the winter break, all sorts of complicated tasks were done. This exercise allowed a large number of people who were used to farming to reproduce, and those who couldn't adapt to it could only be slowly eliminated.

The third characteristic of the farming civilization was that they were strong and weak. This was something that could not be helped, the value of force in the nomadic peoples was higher than the value of the farming people, and the hunting civilization was even higher than the nomadic peoples.

Thus, in the thousands of years of history of farming civilization who had fought against the nomadic peoples, their defense time was far more than the time for them to take the initiative to attack.

China had been a farming civilization since ancient times, and the cavalry on the Mongolian plateau was a typical nomadic civilization. However, in the extreme cold lands further north of the Mongolian plateau, there was a group of people who were even more barbaric than nomadic civilizations.

It was a fishing and hunting race that was very close to the primitive man. Not only were the distant cold zones unable to grow crops, even grazing was a luxury.
