In ancient times, due to social stage, cultural code system and other reasons, the appellation of ordinary people had a certain hierarchical concept. Or they are called Li and Li because of their capture, or Shu because of their large number, or Bai, Qian and Brown because of their poor food, clothing, housing and transportation, or Ye and Ding because of their labor. Specifically:
More than 4000 years ago, the tribes of Yan Di and Huangdi in the Yellow River valley formed an alliance. Together with Dongyi, they defeated the Jiuli people who invaded from the south and captured a large number of prisoners. These prisoners became slaves of the Yanhuang tribe and were called "CoCo Lee".
2. China is a big agricultural country. Most of the people who used to farm were poor, and the people mostly referred to farming in the fields. So it is also called "savage" to refer to the people.
Most people have no official position, so they are also called "white body".
4, also known as "Ding Bai", refers to people without fame.
The houses of ancient civilians were not painted, so they were named "White House", which later referred to civilians.
Because he wears white clothes, he refers to the person in white.
7. Because civilians wear cloth, "cloth" is used to refer to the people.
8. In the feudal society of China, five households were regarded as "Wu" when compiling household registration, and "Wu" was borrowed from others.
9. Because ancient people wore black or cyan, Guizhou was black, so "thousand hands" was used to refer to the people.
