Primitive Tribes: Starting with the Name Daji

But for Su Che, this was nothing more than infrastructure!

Now, Su Che is about to truly begin sowing the seeds of civilization!

He summoned Wang Jianguo, Zhang San, Li Si, Zhou Wu, Ma Que, and others to discuss another important matter concerning the tribe.

Before discussing the matter, Su Che placed a stack of papers in front of everyone.

Each piece of paper contains only one word.

Every single word is different.

Among them, a few simple characters were still recognized by the crowd.

Those whom Su Che summoned were all outstanding students.

Therefore, they know some Chinese characters.

just.

Each piece of paper contained only one word, which puzzled them greatly!

The sparrow picked up a piece of paper with the character "¨々王" written on it and asked:

"Chief, what do you mean by showing us these? Are you going to teach us new words today?"

Wang Jianguo is not young, but he loves learning very much!

Although I don't recognize many of the characters, I still really like it!

Look at them one by one!

And he looked at Su Che with an eager thirst for knowledge!

He wished Su Che would tell him the pronunciation of every single word on it right now!

Su Che smiled slightly:

"I guess so! But it's not just about teaching you to recognize characters!"

"Each character on this represents a surname!"

This was the first time anyone had ever heard of this concept!

Even if they named themselves Wang Jianguo, Zhang San, Li Si, and Zhou Wu, they wouldn't know what their surnames meant!

Su Che began to explain impatiently:

"A surname represents a family!"

"To put it simply, a surname represents a tribe!"

"For example, tribes other than the Sun Tribe are basically composed of one ethnic group!"

"The rat tribe is one tribe, the rabbit tribe is one tribe, the fox tribe is one tribe, and the bull tribe is also one tribe!"

"(Norde's) surname is like each different race!"

Everyone was still a bit confused, but they nodded nonetheless.

Su Che then continued to explain.

"To put it simply, it's about making each person in the tribe an individual, then having each individual create a family, and then having each family create new families!"

"Each family can only consist of two people with different surnames!"

"People with the same surname cannot marry and have offspring unless they are more than six generations apart."

"This is also to avoid problems such as not being able to distinguish whose child is, and the premature death of children due to births between families."

P.S.: Please give me flowers, reviews, and subscriptions.

Chapter 229 is practically impossible.

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo roughly understood some of it.

"Yes! Sometimes there are clearly many women in our tribe who are about to give birth, but the children either die young or look very strange!"

"Some children are born with very large heads, some are born without hands or feet, and they don't live long!"

such a situation.

Su Che only found out after he learned about it!

He nodded very seriously and said:

"Yes, that's why it's necessary to make use of surnames, because I understand this."

"People born into the same family share the same surname. Therefore, people with the same surname cannot have children of the opposite sex within six generations. This is the rule."

"This is a common occurrence when inbreeding!"

"As long as we prevent inbreeding, fewer and fewer children will die young in the future."

Although they didn't quite understand the reasons behind the 900, at least everyone knew what Su Che's purpose was!

Anyway, it's all for the good of the tribe!

After seeing that everyone seemed to understand something, Su Che continued his explanation:

"The statistics for the entire ethnic group have now been completed. There are a total of 9803 people, of whom 3490 are male and the rest are female."

"Some of these people have names, and some don't; they simply use their own kind as a designation."

"We have now divided the area into three different units: primary, intermediate, and advanced, each inhabited by different levels of races!"

"Next, we need to make ID cards for everyone. But it's very troublesome to make ID cards for people who don't have names. The most important parts of an ID card are the serial number, gender, and name!"

"A person without a name cannot have an ID card!"

Wang Jianguo listened and nodded:

"Yes! A name is indeed needed on the ID card, but with so many people in our tribe, naming each and every one of them is no easy task!"

Zhang San nodded as well:

"Yes! Of all those people, I estimate there are less than a thousand whose names are recorded."

Su Che certainly knew this!

They didn't have much formal education to begin with.

Naming a child is an incredibly difficult task for them.

With over nine thousand people, asking just a few people to think about it would drive them bald!

"Yes! That's where the importance of surnames comes in!"

"Before this, names had to be chosen by the chieftain or the tribal shaman, but after having surnames, everyone can choose their own names!"

This surprised everyone!

Before that!

A name is very sacred!

In their view, they had acquired a name.

That would be equivalent to going from a low-level orc to a relatively high-level orc!

So those that have names.

They all held some status within the tribe!

Now Su Che is saying that one can choose their own name?!

That's equivalent to...

Can everyone in the entire tribe have their own name?

While everyone was surprised and delighted, Su Che continued:

"There are 504 surnames here, which is all I can think of for now. I can add more if I think of any more later."

"At that time, men born into different families can choose one surname, while her partner will take her father's surname, and their children will take the man's surname."

"If a male partner does not have a father, he can take his mother's surname or choose his own surname. In short, there must be two different surnames in a family."

It seemed that everyone still didn't quite understand, so Su Che explained it in a more colloquial way.

"Now, the Huaxia Tribe has planned three different units: primary, intermediate and advanced, with hundreds of single rooms in each unit."

"For example, my name is Su Che, and my partners are Daji and He Ling. The children they have given birth to will take my surname and live in the same house as me."

"Each house is home to a family."

This time.

Everyone finally understands!

Before surnames came into being, this was basically how people lived.

However, things aren't very clear, especially for some nameless races, who basically just stay with whoever makes them comfortable.

Even after the child is born.

Because they look similar and live together, the children get mixed up and don't know who is whose.

Now that one family lives in one house, there won't be any confusion about who is whose child in the future.
