The ‘Miau Tso’/’Miao Zu’/ ‘Miao people’ of Southern China originally settled in Kiangsi province, from where they were later driven out by the Han Chinese. A certain Miao tribe claims in fact that they are not themselves of Chinese stock, but insist that they are descended from Japheth, one of the three sons of Noah, i.e. of Indo-European descent!
Like the Chinese, the Miao are yet another ancient nation that remembers some of their earliest patriarchs. Not just that, but they possess surprisingly accurate recollections of the Creation, the Flood, and even of the Tower of Babel and its confusion of languages! Many of the finer details of their accounts coincide almost identically with the Biblical record in Moses’ Book of Genesis.
They were found to already possess this knowledge in the form of ancient couplets, when they for the first time encountered Western missionaries. The oral traditions in which the descent of the Miao was preserved, owe their purity to the fact that they have been recited faithfully and in full at funerals, weddings, and other public occasions for thousands of years, since time immemorial. Thus they are able to reproduce the earliest names of their primogenitors.
Now here’s the corker! They coincide not only accurately with the Hebrew Bible, but also clear up mythical details of the earliest, mystifying Chinese mythology.
According to the Miao, we all descended from the First Man, whose Miao name translated in English means “dirt” or “Earth”, which is identical to the meaning of the name “Adam“, the first man in the Bible. One of Adam’s sons is called Seth, while dirt’s son was called Se-Teh! The grand- and great-grandchildren of Seth are called Methuselah, Lamech and Noah in Genesis. In Miao records they are named Lusu, Gehlo, Lama, and Nu Ah! Virtually identical names. And Nu-Ah was married to a lady called “Ga Bo Lu En”
In the Miao record, Nu Ah had also three sons, called Lo Han, Lo Shen, and Lo Ya Phu. Again virtually identical, with Lo meaning something like “Lao” in Chinese, meaning “old” or “venerable one”, like Lao Zi, for example, the famous father of Taoism.
Even the children and grandchildren of Noah’s three sons are amazingly similar. According to Genesis, Ham had Cush and Mizraim, Shem had Elam and Asshur, while Jafeth had Gomer! According to Miao record, Lo Han had Cusah and Mesay, Lo Shen had Elan and Ngasshur, whereas Lo Ya Phu had GoMen, from whom this particular Miao tribe claims to have descended.
The Miao have always had close contact with the Han Chinese, especially before they were driven out, and six of the Miao tribes actually mixed in with the Chinese. Some of these names like Nu-Ah and Lo Shen, are amazingly similar to two of the Three Sovereigns’ names, to wit: Nü-Wa and Shen Nong!
Now when we compare these two Chinese primogenitors’ names in the light of the far more accurate Miao record, plus the even more accurate Biblical record (because of the Hebrews’ rigorous copy rules), we come to amazing conclusions removing much of the fog around these personages Nü-Wa and Shen-Nong.
Fantastic post! Thanks for sharing all that information, it’s fascinating!
