The legend of "Savage" has a history of 3000 years in China. According to the annotation of "Small Ocean Country" in Shan Hai Jing during the Warring States Period, Zhou Shu recorded that the "Zhou Mi Country" in the south dedicated the captured "savage" to Zhou Chengwang. Qu Yuan described the life habits of "savage" in Nine Songs Shan Gui, and personified them, expressing the poet's feelings. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been records of "savage" in ancient documents in China, and Li Shizhen, Minister of Chinese Medicine in Ming Dynasty, also made a comprehensive analysis of the "savage" recorded in ancient documents in his masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica. However, the scientific investigation and research on "Savage" began after the founding of New China. In the past 40 years, scientists in China have made many investigations on "Savage", especially in Shennongjia area in the northwest of Hubei Province. Since 1976, China Academy of Sciences and relevant units have organized many visits to the mountainous areas and achieved gratifying results. In addition, there are reports on the whereabouts of the "savage" in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Tibet, Xinjiang, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces and regions 10. The only regret now is that no living "savage" has been captured.
China's earliest "barbaric" expedition was in the Himalayas in Tibet. There are dense virgin forests in the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, the southern Himalayas and the eastern canyons, which are rich in wild fruits and various animals. The best-preserved and largest "savage" refuge in this virgin forest is probably the vast Himalayas. It is natural that Tibetans and Sabah people often see "snowman" or "savage". In the mid-1980s, Xiao, a member of China Savage Investigation and Research Association and a writer of Tibetan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, learned a lot of important information and clues from leading cadres and people from all walks of life after several months of preliminary investigation. At the Tibetan Studies Seminar held in Lhasa, Associate Professor Tong of Sichuan University gave an academic report entitled "Tibet Plateau-the Cradle of Human Origin". The progress of the "wild experiment" in Tibet is undoubtedly of great significance to the study of the theory of human origin from apes to humans. Party and government leaders in Xizang Autonomous Region attached great importance to "Savage" and arranged the Theory Department of the Propaganda Department to take charge of "field experiment", which showed that district leaders had a profound understanding of the theoretical significance of this scientific undertaking.
At present, the investigation and research work in various provinces and regions emphasizes the combination of leaders, experts and the masses, and the combination of investigation and research. On the object of investigation, we should attach importance to both indirect evidence and direct evidence, so as to solve the mystery more quickly. The members of the expedition attach great importance to valuable clues that can trace bones to obtain direct evidence.
In order to accept the support of local party and government leaders and relevant departments, mobilize and organize all forces in the region to carry out the investigation and research on "Savage", all relevant provinces and autonomous regions are planning to set up a "Savage" investigation and research site in their own provinces and autonomous regions, and at the same time become a branch of the China "Savage" investigation and research society. In recent years, Hubei Province has made continuous progress in the investigation and study of "Savage", focusing on Shennongjia. It has extensively collected eyewitness information, poured a batch of plaster footprints, identified some hairs, found and studied many suspicious feces, sleeping nests and eating places, comprehensively investigated and analyzed the environment in many aspects, made a large number of plant specimens and some animal specimens, suggested establishing a nature reserve, and held an exhibition of "Savage" investigation reports.
Among about 300 members who visited and studied "Savage" in China, nearly 80 were from Hubei. The Institute of History of Hubei Academy of Social Sciences established the "Research Group on the History of Human Origin" to study the problem of "savage" from the perspective of human origin and included it in scientific research projects. All kinds of situations show that it is very necessary to set up the "savage" investigation and research society in Hubei Province. 1From August 26th to 29th, 983, Hubei Savage Research Association held its inaugural meeting in Charming Shennongjia, and the participants were determined to bring a new situation to the scientific research of Hubei Savage centered on Shennongjia.
According to Li Jian, Executive President and Secretary General of China Savage Investigation and Research Association, since 1987, information about "Savage" activities has been coming from some places in China.
1On June 24th, 987, a young man from other places was drinking mountain spring water in Shennongjia when he was suddenly knocked unconscious by a monster with red hair. After waking up, he found himself carried into the cave and stood in front of a "savage" more than 2 meters high.
1From March to May, 1988, Yuan, a staff member of Shennongjia Watchtower, found more than 300 large footprints more than 40 centimeters long, as well as the feces and red hair of "savage" in Houshi and Nantianmen.
1988, a buyer in Hunan passed Yangyue Mountain Nature Reserve in an escort car, and was chased by three humanoid monsters and knocked down with tools such as wrenches.
Someone in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan once provided information that a professional household in Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province went to Yunnan to keep bees and was dragged by a maternal "savage" to live together for three years. After giving birth to offspring, he took the opportunity to flee home.
Since 1974 discovered "Savage" in Shennongjia, the investigation of "Savage" has been going on for more than 20 years. It is reported that at present, more than 800 people have participated in the savage investigation and research society. Scientists have made many scientific appraisals of the hair of "Savage" and confirmed that "Savage" does exist in nature. A large number of data show that the Yangtze River basin is the main area of "savage" activities.
Born in a scholarly family and graduated from the Chinese Department of East China Normal University, Li Zi, a Shanghai youth, voluntarily gave up her comfortable life with her strong desire to explore the mysteries of nature. From 1979, he set foot in Shennongjia, Hubei and Linhai, East Sichuan at his own expense to explore the mystery of "savage".
In search of savages, plums eat wild fruits and bark, squat in caves, live in the wild and sleep in Lin Mang. Once he was bitten by a poisonous snake and was on the verge of death. He resolutely cut off the poisonous meat around the wound with a knife and defeated death.
In 10 years, Gigi Lai visited the people chased by the "savage" eight times. He discovered the hair, footprints, feces and nests of the savage himself and accumulated a lot of information.
Gigi Lai measured the hair of "Savage" and found that the content of elements in the hair of "Savage" was 50 times that of normal people and 7 times that of ordinary animals. The article "Proton X-ray Analysis of Trace Elements in Savage Hair" co-authored by him was published in Nature, which aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad. Comrade Fang Yi instructed: "There must be such explorers in the world, otherwise there would be no Columbus."
In July, 1983, the Department of Forensic Medicine of Wuhan Medical College also scientifically identified eight kinds of "red-haired savage" hairs found in Shennongjia and six nearby counties. Huang, an associate professor in the teaching and research section, announced at the inaugural meeting of Hubei Savage Investigation and Research Association in late August of the same year: "Through naked eye inspection, optical microscope observation, cross section inspection and pigskin imprint inspection, it was found that the shapes and characteristics of these eight savage hairs are basically similar to those of human hair."
Eight kinds of "savage" hairs were observed, with developed hair cortex, fine fibers in the longitudinal direction and few cortical pigment particles, which were mostly distributed in the periphery. This shows that the histological characteristics of the hair cortex of eight kinds of "savage" are similar to those of human beings, but they are quite different from primates such as gorillas, golden monkeys, apes and gibbons, and obviously different from animals such as pigs, bears and sheep.
Nowadays, China's investigation and research on "savage" is not only carried out in Shennongjia and Tibet, Hubei Province, but also extended to Sichuan, Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Anhui 10 related areas. Jiangxi and Fujian also have inspection clues, and Xinjiang also plans to conduct an inspection. In recent years, the scope of China's investigation on "Savage" has expanded so rapidly that there is no such thing in the world.
The relevant provinces and regions generally conducted a preliminary investigation, learned a lot of eyewitness information and possible clues to obtain evidence, and also conducted a preliminary investigation and study on the ecological environment. In the vast areas of our country, many vast virgin forests and mountains suitable for the survival and reproduction of "savages" have been found. The climate here is warm, the rainfall is abundant, the animal and plant resources are rich, the population is sparsely populated, and savages may haunt.
