披髮文身(With his dishevelled hair and
tattoos, he is a man of many talents.)
本部落格寫作緣起，原是為了向國際友人介紹中華文化。因此行文中，為求簡明易懂，例如將皇帝、王等傳統頭銜，統一簡化為國王，並盡量直稱其名。此為譯介之便，非為考據之疏。若您欲查閱嚴謹史料，請以文末所附典籍出處為準。
另外本文中的交趾之意思不同於傳統解釋，出處為個人思考後之的想當然耳之推論，屬於個人創見。以上，祝好。
(戴聖)是漢王朝時代的一個重要的儒家學者。
他蒐集了許多儒家的文章，編著成為一本書。這本書就是(禮記)。
這本書中詳細地記載了中國古代的周王朝的典章制度，在這本書中紀錄了生活在這個社會的每個階層的人應該遵守的禮儀與規範，這本書中也詳細地記錄了當時的社會上的各種典章制度與統計資料。
這本書中有一章中記錄了周王朝用怎樣的心態與方式去管理王朝中的各地的百姓，這一章中也記錄了周王朝四周的部落的一些特殊的風俗。
每塊土地的氣候與地理條件都不相同，有些地方冷有些地方熱、有些地方潮濕有些地方乾燥，住在不同的土地上的人們人們也產生了各種不同的風俗。
有些地方的人個性特別的急躁，有些地方的人個性特別的和緩，有些地方的人非常的固執有些地方的人非常的圓滑，每個地方的人喜歡吃的東西都不相同，日常的生活用品也會差異，衣服更是每個地方都有各自的特色，這些不同地方的人民的特質跟他們所居住的環境有著很深的關係。
周王朝的中央政府在推廣一些高雅的文化時，要記得一個前提，這個前提就是要尊重各地當地原有的風俗習慣並且不要強迫這些人們改變。
周王朝的中央政府在推行一些新的法令規章時，也要記得考慮到各地地方的差異，這些法令規章不應該去影響各地地方的人們的原有的生活習慣。
周王朝的四周圍有著許多不同的部落，這些部落各有不同的習慣與文化，我們沒有辦法也不應該強行去改變他們。
周王朝有著屬於我們的文化，我們的人民成年後會把梳得很整齊並且綁起來繫成髮髻，我們的飲食習慣吃熟食，我們習慣以穀類為主食。
位於周王朝的東方的部落，他們部落的名字是(夷)，他們那邊的百姓的習慣是披散頭髮並且在身上刺青，他們有很多人喜歡吃生食。
位於周王朝的南方的部落，他們部落的名字是(蠻)，他們那邊的百姓喜歡刺青在額頭上、他們睡覺時雙腳會呈現交叉的樣子，他們有很多人喜歡吃生食。
位於周王朝的西方的部落，他們部落的名字是(戎)，他們那邊的百姓的習慣是披散頭髮並且穿著獸皮做成的衣服，他們比較少吃穀類。
位於周王朝的北方的部落，他們部落的名字是(狄)，他們那邊的百姓習慣穿羽毛做的衣服、他們住在洞穴裡，他們之中有些人不吃穀類。
從周王朝與這些部落的差別中就可以知道，每個民族都在自己歷代居住的土地上安穩地生活，吃著自己覺得好吃的食物、穿著自己覺得好看的服裝、用著自己覺得方便的用具和器物。
我們應該理解這個事實，在這塊廣闊的大地上的每個地方的人民不只語言不通，喜好和需求也不相同，但我們可以透過翻譯來彼此交流與溝通。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是披散頭髮並且在身上刺青。
這句成語被延伸用來形容一些比較落後的地區。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你的國家中有那些民族呢?你是否尊重其他的民族的文化呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫

With his dishevelled hair and tattoos, he
is a man of many talents.(披髮文身)
This blog was originally created to
introduce Chinese culture to international friends. For the sake of simplicity
and ease of understanding, traditional titles such as 'Emperor' and 'King' have
been simplified to 'King', and the names are used directly wherever possible.
This is for the convenience of translation, not historical research. If you
wish to consult rigorous historical materials, please refer to the sources
listed at the end of the article.
Furthermore, the meaning of 'Jiaozhi' in
this article differs from the traditional interpretation. The source of this
alternative interpretation is my own deduction based on personal thought and
insight. Best regards,
Dai Sheng was an important Confucian
scholar during the Han dynasty.
He collected many Confucian texts and compiled
them into a book. This book is the 'Book of Rites'.
It records the institutions and systems of
the Zhou dynasty in ancient China in detail. It sets out the etiquette and
norms that people of every social class should abide by. It also contains
various historical records and statistical data from that period.
One chapter describes the mindset and
methods that the Zhou dynasty used to govern people in different regions. This
chapter also documents the unique customs of the surrounding tribes.
The climate and geographical conditions of
each region differ; some places are cold, some hot, some humid and some dry.
The people living in these different regions have developed diverse customs.
Some people are particularly impatient,
some gentle, some stubborn, and some tactful. Each region has different food
preferences, daily necessities and clothing styles. These characteristics are
deeply related to the living environments of the people in different regions.
When promoting refined culture, the central
government of the Zhou dynasty must remember one prerequisite: respect for the
original customs and habits of each region, and not forcing people to change.
The central government must also consider
regional differences when implementing new laws and regulations. These laws and
regulations should not impact the original lifestyles of the people in each
region.
The Zhou dynasty was surrounded by many
different tribes, each with their own customs and culture. We could not and
should not have forced them to change.
The Zhou dynasty had its own unique
culture. When our people reached adulthood, they would comb their hair neatly
and tie it into a topknot. Our diet mainly consisted of cooked food, with
grains forming the basis of our diet.
To the east of the Zhou Dynasty was a tribe
called the Yi. They wore their hair loose and had tattoos on their bodies. Many
of them enjoyed eating raw food.
To the south of the Zhou dynasty was a
tribe called the Man. They had tattoos on their foreheads and slept with their
legs crossed. Many of them also enjoyed eating raw food.
To the west of the Zhou Dynasty was a tribe
called the Rong. Their people wore their hair loose and wore clothing made of
animal skins. They consumed relatively few grains.
The tribe located north of the Zhou dynasty
was called the Di. They traditionally wore clothes made of feathers, lived in
caves and some did not eat grains.
The differences between the Zhou Dynasty
and these tribes show that each ethnic group lived peacefully on their
ancestral lands, eating what they liked, wearing what they thought was beautiful
and using whatever was convenient.
We should understand that people in
different parts of this vast land not only speak different languages, but also
have different preferences and needs. Yet, despite these differences, we can
communicate and interact with each other through translators.
This idiom literally translates as 'wearing loose hair and having tattoos'.
It has also come to be used to describe
some relatively underdeveloped regions.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you gain from this story?
Which ethnic groups live in your country?
Do you respect the cultures of other ethnic groups?
I hope this story gives you some new
insights.
