Rewriting the Gods

Chapter 236 Marriage! Surname!
"Oh?"

"what is the problem?"

As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in the eyes of Suiren who was standing beside him, and he spoke in surprise.

I have been staying in Xianmai and haven't found any major problems.

"The tribesmen do not know their parents or their relatives, the sons do not know their fathers, the husbands do not know their wives, and the reproduction is extremely chaotic."

After the words fell, all the innate ancestors were stunned, and did not notice anything wrong. Among the crowd, only Jiang Haofeng nodded in agreement.

At present, the human race still practices the system from ancient times.

Of course, the distinction of the entire ancient period is how Jiang Haofeng viewed it from the perspective of future generations. If it is put into the present, it is quite normal. After all, the current human race, in the eyes of future generations, is actually from the ancient period.

After the tribe has harvested a large amount of food, they will cheer and celebrate beside the fire. All the people in the tribe will gather together, share the food, and sing and dance beside the fire.

In the second half of the night, if they meet someone they like, they will quietly go back to the house. On the next day, everything returns to normal. When it comes to the next celebration, they will most likely replace the person with a new one.

If a child is born, the child will stay with the mother and basically will not look for the father.

From the perspective of future generations, it was not just chaos, it was chaos to the extreme.

But that is ultimately viewed from the perspective of future generations. Today's human race is not future generations, and people don't think there is anything wrong with this. After all, this has been done for a long time, and everyone is used to it.

Looking at the ancestors around him who didn't take it seriously, Fuxi smiled bitterly and explained again: "My fellow ancestors, let me give you an example. A woman and a man gave birth to a girl. If this person doesn't know her father..."

As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, all the ancestors present were stunned. It seemed to be true when they said this.

Strange, why didn't I notice this before.

Seeing that everyone finally reacted, Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again: "No matter what, blood ethics must not be crossed."

"Moreover, one woman with multiple husbands, and one man with multiple women, is too chaotic and disorderly. When people of our human race seek a partner, they should learn from the ancestors, one person to one person, longing for each other, and being faithful to one person forever!"

The ancestors nodded slightly when they heard this. It made sense. It was indeed a bit unreasonable to keep changing them every day.

Before Fuxi said it, the ancestors didn’t think so. But now that Fuxi said it, the ancestors suddenly felt something was wrong.

Seeing that all the ancestors agreed with his point of view, Fuxi also smiled.

"Therefore, I wish to establish rules and regulations to regulate the tribes of my people."

"I have read the history of our human race, and it is recorded that in the last calamity, the leader of the demon race, the Demon Emperor, and the innate god Xihe entered into a celestial marriage and became Fuxi. This was the first couple in the prehistoric world, and the matchmaker was our human race's holy mother, Nuwa. When the ceremony was completed, the heavens bestowed merits and the whole world celebrated!"

"My dear ancestors, Fuxi believes that our human race can imitate the heavenly marriage of the Demon Emperor and the Demon Queen and establish our own marriage system."

"After the man and woman have chosen each other, the man asks the elders in his family to act as a matchmaker, and uses deerskin as a gift to marry the woman, and they become husband and wife!"

"After becoming husband and wife, both parties should work together, share joys and sorrows, live together, and have children, who should be raised by them alone."

"I wonder what you elders think?"

As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, Jiang Haofeng nodded and said, "I agree!"

Seeing Jiang Haofeng speak, Zhu Xiang in the hidden vein did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "I agree too!"

Then, seven or eight Hidden Vein elders spoke at the same time, all agreeing. At the same time, Suiren, who was standing by, thought for a moment and nodded, "I agree too!"

Next, a group of ancestors expressed their opinions one after another, and without exception, all agreed.

What Fuxi said is indeed beneficial to the human race. Although many people have not yet understood the deeper meaning of it, what Fuxi said does make sense. Even if it doesn't have much effect, it can make the tribes in the tribe more standardized. There is no need to refuse it.

Fifty-one people, all agreed, without exception!

The marriage system of the human race was thus established.

The human race has opened a new chapter. Of course, many ancestors did not see this far.

Some things, when viewed from the perspective of later generations, may have profound significance, but at the time, their usefulness was not very obvious.

It is estimated that after hundreds or thousands of years of development, when the new system of mankind gradually matures and new concepts are formed, people will look back and have different opinions on today's issue.

One thing has been decided, and Fuxi's face also showed a hint of joy. He paused and spoke again: "My fellow ancestors, in addition to this marriage system, I want to promote surnames in the clan."

"surname?"

Suiren, who was standing by, was stunned, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Yes, that's the surname!" Fuxi nodded.

Fuxi looked at the ancestors around him and said solemnly: "My human race is a bloodline clan. Unlike the demon race, which is a clan of all spirits, our bloodline is passed down from generation to generation."

"But the father gives birth to a son, and the son gives birth to a grandson. With each generation, the number increases several times. After three or five generations, there will be a large number of blood relatives. If we don't distinguish them, it will be bad if relatives marry each other."

"So I plan to promote surnames within the clan, so that people from the same bloodline can use the same surname to distinguish them!"

"I wonder what you elders think?"

After Fuxi finished speaking, Suiren thought for a moment and said, "The bloodline of our human race is rooted in the ancestors, and each tribe lives in groups. If we calculate strictly, I'm afraid the entire tribe will not be able to reproduce."

"Fuxi believed that people within five generations were considered relatives and could not get married, but those beyond five generations were not considered relatives and could get married."

Suiren looked thoughtful, then smiled and nodded in agreement, "Good!"

Jiang Haofeng on the side nodded again and said, "I agree!"

Establishing surnames and preventing close relatives from marrying is indeed a great thing for the human race.

Although there is probably no such thing as marriage between close relatives in the ancient times, it is at least a good thing from the ethical and moral level.

As Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, the other ancestors also spoke up. Of course, the result was still agreement.

In the view of the human ancestors, this matter is ultimately beneficial to the human race. Although the benefits are not great, they are still there. Since there are benefits, there is no need to refuse!
Everyone agreed, and Fuxi immediately said:

"The bloodline of our human race, in the final analysis, is nothing more than what was passed down from our ancestors. Excluding some ancestors who never gave birth to offspring, there are a total of 2,600 clans. I plan to take ten surnames from each clan to distinguish the bloodline!"

"However, the naming and division of these specific surnames still needs to be decided by the clan leaders of each tribe."
