Part I - Telling about Iu Mien History. ເລົ່າ ພົງສາວະດານອິວມຽນ/เล่าประวัติศาสตร์อิ้วเมี่ยน

This verbal Iu Mien story is derived from part of the Iu Mien's passport to cross the hill by chanting, Iu Mien school books, priests/shaman ritual books, and chanting songs. The passport was issued to Iu Mien due to the conflict between Guh Hung and Baengh Hung. My research findings were that Baengh Hung was another name for King Pan or Bienh Hung. As a result, King Pan was erased from the map of China to Guh Hung also known as( Gao Wang in Chinese) by forcing Iu Mien to move to the highlands to farm for a living. Baengh Hung's kingdom was in Beijing, China. Guh Hung's kingdom was in Korea, according to this chanting song. Guh hung also known as (Gao wang 高王) in Chinese.
The Iu Mien History starts with three levels of civilizations. The first: upper age (zaangc yunh zaapc -zaangv) consisted of 3,000 years of life cycle back. The second: middle age (zong yunh zaapc-zaangv) consisted of 1,800 years of the life cycle, and the third level lower age (haac-yunh zaapc-zaangv) consisted of 120 years of the life cycle. Today is known as (mouh-gitv ninh gen) consists of 60 years of the life cycle. Iu Mien society counts 60 years as one generation of life. No record was documented in the three levels of the life cycles where Iu Mien lived. The Iu Mien believe the first civilization formed by King Pan or Bienh Hung who created the universe, earth, sky, and human beings were formed, (盤古王) the world's creator. In the year 1200, one document revealed that Iu Mien lived in the south and north of Hue Nan, Hue Peic territories of Zu Jaang and Hu Jaang rivers bank were farming. These territories are also called: namh-ging ziepc bouv-dinc which means the southern part of China for 800 years. The yongh ziuh administration forced Iu Mien to move to live in an isolated region of southern China to build their own temples and continue to practice the King’s role for 70 years. Yongh ziuh still allowed Iu Mien to be their own Kingdom by King Pan/Bienh hungh during the Mongols era (洪武). Yongh ziuh came to power for 8 generations and conquered China for many years. The yongh governments were weakening. The three Ming generals uprising against Yongh’s governments for several years then Yongh’s government surrendered and the Mongol system collapsed. There were cities and provincial officials were removed from power. Ming (明朝)system and governments came to power for 17 generations. Ming’s era was the most aggressive toward the Iu Mien people. Ming sent troops to chase and hunt down thousands of Iu Mien high-ranking officials and civilians. Iu Mien people were almost extinct from the civilizations. Iu Mien people called and proposed Hm-geh baeng-maax to rescue Iu Mien from the Ming genocide. After proposing to Hm-geh baeng-maax, (powerful spirit god) Iu Mien troops gained power and were able to kill thousands of Ming troops, which made the Ming government open peace negotiations with Iu Mien. As a result of the negotiation, the Ming government no longer allowed King Pan/Bienh Hungh to have his own kingdom, build temples, and continue the kingship role. The passport traveling in the hills/passport to travel across the mountain (jiex-sen borngv) was drafted and adopted. All lowlands that can irrigate water for farming belonged to the Chinese. The foothills and highlands that no longer can be irrigated water for farming belonged to Iu Mien. Religious practice was created. The three celestial posters were created for Iu Mien of 12 clans to carry to worship in the mountains to mountains. Since the Ming era, Iu Mien lost their kingdom, temples, and territory completely to China and was erased from the map. In the year of Jaapc-yienh yietc maux was a drought for three consecutive years, and no food and starvation severely impacted society. Iu Mien people saw further south across the Sea, lightning and thunder strike signals to Iu Mien in the hope of the rain. 12 clans of Iu Mien held a meeting to discuss how to move to the new land. They went to Cing Jaang river bank to cut trees to build boats to cross the seas. 12 clans and 12 ships were built to travel across the sea but the boats were stuck in the big wind storm for three months and could not reach the other side. The boats no longer move on the horizon of the water. They heard strange sounds as a waterfall of the clips, and some said it was thunder. The others said the waterfall off into the ocean sinkhole. The Iu Mien leaders and crew members devised a worship spirit god called lingh zioz bouz meuh to rescue Iu Mien to reach the other side of the sea. The three leaders Bienh liemh feix lorngh, Dangc yungz nyeic lorngc, and Zeuz feix faqc zang led the affair/journey and landed in Guang Dong province.
