Where does the daughter country in Journey to the West refer to now?

The daughter country in "Journey to the West" is fictional by the authorIn the first year of Zhenguan, he set off from Chang'an and traveled westward through more than 10,000 miles to India to obtain the true scriptures. On the way, I wrote down what I saw and heard along the way and compiled it into a book"The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".。That is to sayHistorically, there was a similar femaleChildren's country, which is mentioned in this bookDaughter country, this country is located in the "snowy mountains, the world is the king of women, because of the country of women."

The husband is also a king, and he does not know political affairs. The husband only conquered the fields and planted them, and was connected to the Turu country in the east, the Khotan country in the north, and the Sanbo He country in the west."。Xuanzang called it ".East Woman Country

Because there is also a daughter country next to it, called".West Female Country”。According to the description in the book and later research, the location of the eastern and western women's countries is about the sameIn the area from Danba County to Daofu County in today's Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, close to Lugu Lake.

The description of the Xiliang women's country in "Journey to the West" is "the yin world is young and yang, the farmers and industrialists are all women, and the fishermen and farmers are all red makeup". The daughter country is an ancient matriarchal society, which still exists in Danba in Sichuan and Lugu Lake in Yunnan. However, the daughter country in "Journey to the West" does not refer to these two placesBecause Tang Seng's scripture route is from Shaanxi, through Gansu into Xinjiang

According to research,The Xiliang women's country mentioned in the book is located in what is now Kuqa, XinjiangKuqa was known as Qiuzi in ancient times and was an important city on the Silk Road。The water and soil here are good, and it is a place for beautiful women. The legendary Zimu River is now the Kuqa River, of course, drinking river water to get pregnant can only be the plot in **.

Another version of the daughter country in China is that Hongshan Town, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China, is just a daughter country scenic spot, It is one of the mythical world scenic spots of Journey to the West, as well as the mother and child river of the daughter country that can get pregnant after drinking water, in fact, it is not Wu Chengen's whimsy, "Liang Shu" said that there is a woman country east of Fusang, and the women here "compete in the water to get pregnant, and give birth in June and July".

The description of the daughter country in "Journey to the West" is very beautiful, and there are all women there. The location is also very good, it should be in the area of Sichuan now.

Located in Hongshan Town, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China, it is one of the Journey to the West Mythological World Scenic Spots, located in the west of the Tang Dynasty in ancient times.

Hongshan Town, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China, the legendary Zimu River is now the Kuqa River. It is one of the mythical scenic spots of Journey to the West.

It should be Jiangnan, that area.

Historians have found that during the Tang Dynasty, there were two women's kingdoms on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The same thing as described in Journey to the West is that the rulers of these two countries are women, and in these two countries, the principle of feminism is also pursued. However, there is a slight discrepancy with ** in that there are not no men in this country.

The role of men in the country is to plow the fields and go out on expeditions, so it can be said that this kind of daughter country is not as otherworldly as depicted in **. The essence of this country is actually the problem of the matriarchal clan society left over from history.

So where is this eastern country located? The Book of Tang also said that the Dongnu Kingdom is a tribe in Xiqiang, and because there is a daughter country in the West Sea, it is called the Dongnu Kingdom. It is connected to Maozhou in the east and Yazhou in the southeast, which is equivalent to today's Wenchuan, Beichuan, Maowen and Qiang Autonomous Counties in Sichuan, and Yazhou is now the Ya'an region of Sichuan.

Generally speaking, this Dongnu country is located in Xinjiang, that is, the northwest end of the Silk Road.

Some people say it is in Yunnan, while others say it is in Sichuan, because some places have preserved matriarchal societies. According to the geographical location of Journey to the West, it is more reliable in Xinjiang. However, the daughter country is also recorded in China's oldest classic of mountains and seas, and it is possible that the author referred to a lot of literature.

The Old Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of the Southern Barbarians and the Southwester recorded an Eastern Female Country:

The East Woman Country, another species of the West Qiang, has a woman country in the West Sea, so it is called the East Woman Yan. The vulgar woman is king. It is connected with Maozhou and Dangxiang in the east, and Yazhou in the southeast, and is separated by Luo Numan and White Wolf Yi.

Although this eastern women's country has women as kings and is called women's countries, it is not certain that there are only women and no men, and the historical records of the eastern women's country "vulgar women and light husbands", "vulgar and light men, and female nobles have servants", it can be said that this is a country with a matriarchal social style, and it is not a daughter country.

Tang Sanzang wrote the famous "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which recorded:

There are western women's countries on the southwest island, all of which are women without men, many treasures, attached to the chagrin, and the king is married by her husband, and the vulgar male examples are not cited.

The Western Woman Kingdom is located in the Indian Ocean in the southwest of India, and the description of customs is similar to that of the daughter country, "all women have no men", and it can be said that the ancient country is closer to the daughter country according to the geographical location and customs recorded above.

It is said that it was influenced by the deification story of the local Queen Mother of the West in the Western Regions. As a digression, many people feel that when they grow up, they will watch the daughter country in "Journey to the West" again.

It should be the Hami area of Xinjiang. Tang monks learned scriptures through southern Xinjiang.

I think it should be in the current Xinjiang, or the ancient country of Loulan

Located in the area of Danba County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, it retains the system of "men do not marry, women do not marry".

The daughter country is a utopia of feminism, and the geographical location of the daughter country, according to the archaeological sites, is probably determined to be in the area of Danba County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province today.

In fact, there are many theories about the daughter country in "Journey to the West", but most of them believe that it is located in what is now Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, and Tang once passed through here when he went to the West to learn scriptures.

In "Journey to the West", the daughter country is also called Xiliang Women's Country, that is to say, it is located in Xiliang, and in reality, there is indeed a place in Xiliang, which is located in today's Gansu region.

The daughter country inside is fictional. However, there are historical records in history that there are similar daughter countries, which are located in the area from Danba County to Daofu County in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, near Lugu Lake.

In fact, the daughter country in "Journey to the West" is the historical East Girl Country, and the current site of the East Girl Country is in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, so the daughter country in "Journey to the West" should be in Sichuan Province in China. In addition, there is also a "Daughter Country Scenic Area" in my country, which is located in Hongshan Town, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China, but this scenic spot is built by people, so this is not the address of the daughter country in "Journey to the West".

When the four Tang monks and apprentices were studying the scriptures, they once went to a very special country, which is the daughter country. Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk became a "male pregnant woman" because they drank the water of the Zimu River in their daughter's country at that time, and later Sun Wukong went to Ruyi Zhenxian to get the spring water of the abortion spring, which successfully helped Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk have a baby. And the daughter country is special and not only this, after the four Tang monks and apprentices arrived in the daughter country, they found that there were only women in the daughter country, which was completely a country composed of women, and the people who ruled the daughter country were all women.

In history, there was a real country ruled by women, and this country was the historical East Women's Country. Although it is said that our country was a "patriarchal society" in ancient times, and it was men who could rule the country, and women were just appendages of men, but in the East Women's Country, all this is just the other way around, the rulers of the East Women Country are all women, and men have no status in the East Women's Country, and they are completely subordinate to women, so the East Women's Country is a matriarchal society like the daughter country.

According to the research of archaeologists, the site of the East Woman Country is actually in Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China, from which it can be concluded that the address of the East Woman Country in history should be in the Sichuan Province of China, and the daughter country of the Tang monks and apprentices in "Journey to the West" is based on the East Woman Country, so the daughter country in "Journey to the West" should be Sichuan Province of China.
