Is there a connection between Maya culture and business culture in China? Is there a written record?

Maya civilization may be descended from Shang Dynasty in China.

We can see the clue of the relationship between Maya and China from several angles. Characters: The Maya used hieroglyphics. Jiang Shuiping is very similar to China, but the combination of symbols is more complicated than Chinese characters, so far no one can fully interpret it. Art: Take painted pottery cans and bags as an example. The milky white bag and bright colors on the jar, as well as the contrasting red and black geometric patterns, are very eye-catching. At present, archaeologists have found that the chest-shaped foot is the most distinctive form of prehistoric pottery in China, but it can also be seen in the pottery of many Indian peoples in the United States. Jade: There are many jade articles in Mayan cultural relics. There are only two nationalities in the world, China and American Maya, who love jade and have exquisite jade carving ability. Coincidentally, both these two peoples have the belief that jade is associated with life and reproduction, and some Mayan jade articles are strikingly similar to those of Liangzhu culture, a prehistoric culture in the south of the Yangtze River. Belief: The image of Quetzalcoatl in Mayan culture is somewhat similar to China's dragon walking. The head of Quetzalcoatl on Mayan murals and the carving of the snake head on the double-headed stick held by Mayan priests are also close to the shape of the faucet. In addition, the worship of Quetzalcoatl by Mayans and Dragon by China is related to praying for rain. Ethnicity: From the ethnographic point of view, both Maya and China people have obvious unique characteristics of Mongolian race. Studies have proved that the palmprint lines of Maya and China people are very similar. Tai Chi Map: In the Mayan ruins, we found the same Tai Chi map as China, also known as "Yin and Yang Fish".

The genetic relationship between the Mayans and the China people has a lot of evidence not only in language, but also in the way of thinking. The basic mode of thinking of Maya and China people has the same characteristics, which embodies the unity of heaven and man and the consistency between nature and society. In terms of social prosperity, the Mayans believed that prosperity, peace, prosperity and decline, war and poverty alternated periodically. This is related to the calculation of Mayan astronomical calendar. They think that there is a cycle of happiness and misfortune every 20 years on the 13 calendar. For example, the abandonment of Chen Chi's summer vacation and the hegemony of Mayan Pan-state, as well as the decline of Mayan Pan-city and Spanish *, all show the cyclical cycle of the rise and fall of this calendar. This view of history is very consistent with China's ancient view of history.

The Mayans' basic outlook on life can be summarized as "Never overdo everything", which is very consistent with China's ancient dominant philosophy of life "The Doctrine of the Mean". Under the guidance of this idea, the Mayans respected the natural environment. Hunting is very abstemious, one is unwilling to kill innocent animals, and the other is to leave opportunities for other hunters to feed. When planting fields and burning trees, we should make sacrifices in advance and pray for the forgiveness and blessing of the gods. At the same time, cultivated land should be measured according to the needs of the population, which not only ensures food, but also does not destroy nature by overproduction. Therefore, the way of life pursued by the Mayans is the harmony between people and between people and nature.

Maya's thought of the harmony between man and nature is manifested in all aspects of life, many of which are the same as China's. The Mayans called the poet "A Feng", and poetry equals the wind. China's earliest poem The Book of Songs is also called Feng. In Mayan language, flowers can mean natural flowers, or people are lascivious, just like people in China. Mayans think that the social symbol of color is the same as that of China people: red symbolizes power, yellow symbolizes auspiciousness, and white symbolizes falsehood. Therefore, white father equals uncle China and white mother equals aunt China, which can be said to be very interesting and special. People in China often call the sun a master, and so do the Mayans. In ancient China, the Chu people called milk grain, while the Mayans called corn milk and corncob breasts, which was a special consistency. More specifically, China called a year "being" in ancient times, which originated before the Xia Dynasty. This concept of time is the same as that of the Mayans: the Mayans thought that every year was loaded by a god, one class after another, so the year was closely related to the load, and a year was also the load of a god.

There are many examples of the consistency between man and nature in Maya's ideas, which are the same as China's thinking and language. Maya used the same word a l to address children, small animals and roes, which means that human and animal tongues and flames (flametongues) use the same word ak, and human arms (limbs) and branches also use the same word Ka B. Fire k ak can express anger (anger). More interestingly, the Mayan word Tan Can means a room (living room), a box and a man (a mature young man, a young man of about 25 years old). Maya Tom is round, while Tom Tom is chaotic, which is equivalent to Tuan Tuan in Chinese. These are special corresponding ways of thinking.

The similarity in thinking between Maya and China is also reflected in the creation of Mayan characters and China characters. There are pictographs such as "Tian", indicators such as "Zhong", loanwords such as "Zhong" under the guise of "Zhong" and "Chu". And heaven, China and * are also very similar to Chinese characters. In addition, there are many pictophonetic characters in Mayan characters. The systematic consistency in thinking between Maya and China proves that Maya and China must be related by blood.

The kinship between Mayans and China people is not only manifested in language and way of thinking, but also in customs. Studying this aspect can sometimes promote the study of ancient culture in China. For example, in ancient China, if a person had a strange number, he thought it was unlucky. The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't reuse the famous Li Guang in the battle with Xiongnu was that the result of divination for Li Guang was odd and unlucky. How to predict that divination has been lost in China. Maya divination also has the same saying, even luck, strange and fierce, and the specific practice has been preserved. The Mayans used a bunch of corn kernels. First, they randomly take out some and put them aside, and then count the rest in four places. If the total number of these four groups is odd, the rest are odd, that is, three or one corn, that is fierce; If both are even numbers, it is auspicious; If one of the two is odd and the other is even, it is uncertain. Maya and China people not only say that even numbers are auspicious and odd numbers are fierce, but even the names of fortune tellers are the same. In ancient China, this kind of person was called "Japanese", and the Mayans called this kind of person Akin. Ah is equivalent to "a" in Chinese, which is not only common in southern dialects, but also often added to ancient names. In the oldest books, Yi Yin, a famous minister of Shang Dynasty, is called Aheng. Cao Cao's nickname is Shun. Gold is the sun in Mayan language, and it is the sun. So ah k in is Ari, in other words, Japanese. If the Mayans and China people were not related by blood, this very special gender would be impossible.

In divination, the Mayans and China people have other similarities. In ancient China, there was a method of divining lost things or people, which was called round light. Let naive children look in the mirror, it is said that they can see where the lost things or people are. The Mayans also had this habit. If something is lost, let the children look at it in a transparent crystal piece and say what they see. Maya and China people also have the same characteristics in the form of entertainment. Maya, like China people, often played games with ropes. There is a game called Chicken Claw Button in China, and Maya also played Chicken Claw Button. Maya's name is Chicken Claw Button. They all tie the two ends of the rope together, then turn it over and over, and finally wrap three interconnected buttons in the middle, like chicken feet.

Maya, like China, plays dice. They call it playing with corn, because they make dice with four grains of corn, one side of which is dyed black. If two or four sides are black, you win. In ancient China, the number of dice was uncertain. You can use six pills, one side dyed red, and all sides dyed red to win. This is how Yang Guifei and Tang acted. The play is very similar to Maya. In terms of customs, the Mayans were very particular about the differences between men and women. When eating, men and women don't eat together. Men always eat first, and women only eat after men finish eating. When walking, if a man and a woman meet on the road, the woman should avoid the roadside and bow her head until the man passes by, and then the woman will leave. What's more interesting is that when couples walk, they can't walk side by side. Men are in front and women are behind, so they should keep their distance. In ancient Mayan society, men were superior to women, which was also manifested in some taboos: women could not be seen by men when they gave birth and came, and it would be bad luck to see them. In addition, women must remain chaste, and both men and women will be sentenced to death. It can be seen that the customs and habits of ancient Mayan society are exactly the same as those of ancient China.

There are many similarities between Maya and China customs, such as dream interpretation: a person dreaming that he has lost his teeth means the death of his relatives. There are also signs that if the cat washes its face, it means that guests are coming. Of course, these are the manifestations of the customs of ancient Maya and China. Although it belongs to superstition, its special corresponding characteristics deserve attention.

Maya and China people also have a lot in common in food, clothing, housing and transportation. In terms of food, Mayans and China people eat with bowls, unlike Europeans and Americans who use plates. In addition, the Mayans ate not on the table, but on the mat. China people were also like this in ancient times. Otherwise, how can it be called a big meal? Mayans eat on mats, which is related to their living life. They don't sleep on beds or chairs, but on cushions, just like people in ancient China. When it comes to sitting, the ancient Mayans were divided into two ways: sitting in front of their legs and kneeling on the ground. This is the same as sitting in ancient China. In ancient China, people with high status knelt down and people with low status knelt down. Maya is also like this, because men are superior to women, so women are used to kneeling.

The Maya built houses in the same way as the China people did in the past. They are all beam-column structures. First, four pillars are erected, and the pillars are placed on the beams, and then the roof is placed on the beams. Ordinary people's houses are adobe houses or thatched houses, while aristocratic houses are stone buildings. In addition, the ancient Maya country was a city-state, with the supreme leader living in the center of the city, followed by nobles, businessmen, craftsmen, farmers and slaves. The people with the lowest status live farthest from the city center, much like the imperial city of China in the past. Speaking of aristocrats, Maya aristocrats are called "Zinan", which is the same as China's ancient name and has the same idea.

In terms of clothing and travel, ancient Mayans and China people also had the same characteristics. In ancient China, people wore a square piece of cloth called Bao Fang, or robe. A robe is a kind of bag, which is wrapped around the upper body from back to front and tied to the chest or one side with buttons. Maya's coat is also such a piece of cloth, called p a t i, and its name is similar to that of Hanpao. Maya men's clothes are also waist cloth, divided into some banners. In ancient China, men's underwear was also a belt, called petticoat. The earliest "long" character is "Shang", which is a pictographic character. Maya called the waist cloth ex, and X sounded like sh, which was the same as the consonant of "Shang" in China.

The Mayans attached importance to road construction. Their road is very similar to the road of the Zhou Dynasty in the Book of Songs, like a grindstone on the ground, flat and straight, and much higher than the ground. In addition, the China Ancient Road has dwellings for pedestrians at regular intervals, which are called roads. Every once in a while, there is also a residence on Maya Road called Lu B, which is similar in pronunciation to China's "Lu".

In ancient times, Maya and China people had the same characteristics in funeral customs, especially the burial of children. One is to use an urn coffin, and the other is to cut a small hole in the upper part or cover of the urn coffin. The Mayans buried a finger of the child and mother. This naturally reminds us of a saying that China people often describe maternal love: it hurts to bite any one of ten fingers. This probably means that in ancient times, China people also had the custom of burying dead children by biting off their fingers with their mothers, just like the Mayans.

Maya and China people are consistent in language, way of thinking and customs, which vividly shows the kinship between the two peoples.
