Because of this, this nation has no fixed place and moves around, just like the Jews in those days. This nation is called Druze.
Let's take a look at the faces of Druze people. Which ethnic group is more like us?
Speaking of the origin of the Druze, there is also a thrilling history.
Before a foreigner arrived, the Druze were originally Arabs.
1252, Xu Liewu, the third brother of the Mongolian Empire, led the Mongolian army to launch the third Western Expedition;
1259, Xu Liewu has captured Persia and Arabia Abbasid dynasty, and Xu Liewu's next goal is Syria. The ancestors of the Druze were Syrian Arabs.
Xu Liewu quickly captured Syria, and the soldiers pointed directly at Egypt, the last territory of Islam. But just then, a bad news came. Mongolia died in Dasong Fishing City, Mongolia was caught in a sweat war, and Xu Liewu was forced to retreat.
When he left, Xu Liewu left General Kitbuqa and 5,000 Mongolian troops to continue his campaign, and these 5,000 "Mongols" stayed in Syria forever because of Kitbuqa's defeat and became another group of ancestors of Druze.
They were called "Mongols" because they all belonged to the Mongolian Empire at that time, and these 5,000 people were actually Uighurs (a branch of the Uighurs) at that time. There are no more than 654.38+100,000 true aborigines in Mongolia, and more are Semu people, that is, the tribes that merged in early Mongolia, and Uighur is one of them.
Look at the people around Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu. There are many such semu people.
These "Mongols" merged with the local Arabs to form the Druze people today. Due to the lack of political status, they have been marginalized for a long time. Although there are now 65,438+0,000 people, divided into many blocks, some in Lebanon, some in Israel and some in Syria, they have never forgotten that their ancestors came from China.
In their teachings, they believe in reincarnation. Surprisingly, they think that they will be reborn as China people after being reborn, and they have an inexplicable affinity for China people.
According to the report of the Royal Geographical Society, Druze people often claim that their ancestors came from the promised land of China, and they also hope to have the opportunity to return to the land of China after death.
Unexpectedly, there are such a group of people in the distant west, but we just don't know.
Cerame Obeid, a former foreign teacher in Arabic Department of Peking University Foreign Studies University, is a Druze, and he has a poem to prove it:
Numerous contacts have kept me in close contact with Beijing.
Thousands of miles have kept me in close contact with Beijing.
That's my hometown,
There are memories of home and the past,
But this is my second hometown,
And home,
There are countless memories of the past.
