Why are Gypsies called "vagrants"?

It is said that there are 3-6 million ancient gypsies scattered around the world recently. They wander around without a fixed home, and their lives continue to extend along endless roads. Some of them are in groups, sitting in bumpy caravans; Gypsies in the countryside simply put their clothes and children on their backs and walked forward. Their ideal is to fully enjoy the freedom of walking and sleep peacefully under the endless starlight. This mysterious nation has aroused people's endless interest since its birth: Where did they come from? Where is their hometown? This question is still a mystery. Some people think that the hometown of ancient gypsies is in Egypt, and the English word "gypsy" means "from Egypt". This mainly comes from two folklore. One is that in the first century A.D., the rulers of the Roman Empire decided to crucify Jesus and ordered the Egyptian blacksmith to make nails in order to completely eliminate Christianity. The blacksmith refused to obey, and the Roman ruler was angry and ordered him to be deported. As a result, a large number of people who believed in Christianity and sympathized with Jesus left Egypt with the blacksmith and lived in a foreign land. They are the ancestors of gypsies. In addition, according to French records, in the winter of 1427, some gypsies came to Paris. They claimed that their ancestral home was in Egypt and originally believed in Christianity. Later, because of the Arab invasion, he was forced to convert to Islam. This behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of powerful Christians in Europe at that time, thinking that it was a betrayal of God. After consulting with European rulers, it was decided that Gypsies were not allowed to own land in China unless approved by the Pope, and they were ordered to go to Rome to pray for forgiveness. Later, the Pope asked them to wander in Europe for seven years and not to stay in bed on the way to show their piety and repentance to God. Since then, the gypsies who lost their homes have once again left their foothold and lived a wandering life without a fixed place. However, more people think that Gypsies are from India. German scholars Rudiger, Grellmann and British classmate Brian found that many words in Gypsy dialect are very similar to Indian Sanskrit and Hindi, and the ancestors of Gypsies probably lived in India. Later, scholars further studied the social system, cultural customs and cattle lifestyle of the Kasai people, and found that they were very similar to the Dom people who lived in India earlier. For example, they all make a living by performing arts and have no fixed jobs. Most of them are good at singing and dancing, proficient in divination, and have the skills of making metal utensils. Also, they use the same bellows. They are all leather, with two pockets, blown by Sichuan pedals. So gypsies should be the descendants of Dom. However, it is not clear why they wander around the world far from home. However, there is no doubt that no matter where they go, Gypsies are discriminated against and their fate is bumpy. Historically, the Spanish monarch gave them 60 days to give up wandering. Philip II banned them from using their own names, clothes and languages, "so that this way of life can be destroyed and forgotten forever". During Philip IV and V, Spanish laws were stricter. By 1783, gypsies were forbidden to engage in traditional industries, raise horses or even leave their homes. /kloc-in Europe in the 0 th and 7 th centuries, many countries simply expelled the ancient Psys, burned them with fire, and even poisoned the water they drank. In Romania, some Gypsies are sold as slaves. Centuries of persecution and discrimination culminated in the Holocaust of World War II: nearly 500,000 Gypsies and Jews died together in Hitler's Nazi concentration camp. Fortunately, such a tragic experience has not changed the cheerful character of Gypsies at all. They were born knowing how to be sad. As the saying goes, "Today we eat and drink, tomorrow we will go hungry, and then we will have a big meal." According to legend, a long time ago, Gypsies built a church with stones and Serbs built a church with cheese. After the completion, the two sides decided to exchange. Gypsies gave their stone churches to Serbs, and Serbs gave their cheese churches to Gupsey. What was the result? Gypsies immediately ate the cheese church. This fully embodies their nature of taking things as they are and enjoying themselves in time. Writers have drawn countless inspirations from the unique charm of gypsies and created many shining images in world art galleries. The beautiful, kind and painful Esmeralda in Notre Dame de Paris; Yesenia, who can sing and dance, is smart and brave in Yesenia; Carmen who sacrificed her life in pursuit of love in Carmen is unforgettable. Gypsies' healthy and lively figure and unrestrained personality add unique brilliance to the world. It is said that in the epoch-making period when God created man, God made a man out of clay and a woman out of man's ribs. Later, God thought the world was too boring. One night, when a man was sleeping, God took away his gum bone, and in the blink of an eye, he created a living Gupsai. Since then, life has become much more interesting. Another legend related to God is this: Once upon a time, St. George rode to Jerusalem to worship God, and met several Gypsies on the way. They said, "Please ask God how we should live." After seeing God, St. George conveyed the problems of Gypsies. God said, "Gypsies never bother me. Let them live according to their own rules. This is their business. " It seems that even God is so partial to Gypsies. Who can change their way of life? As long as there are smooth roads, sunshine and air, no one can stop their happy life.
