To Montezuma I (1440? During the reign of 1469, the Aztecs had controlled the entire Mexican basin and formed an early slave country. The authority of the Aztec country is "the highest? Meeting ",composed of 20 clan leaders, two of whom were elected to be in power, one in charge of civil affairs and the other in charge of military affairs. The latter is more powerful and is regarded as the incarnation of God. The land is still owned by the village community, but there is a phenomenon of private land and polarization between the rich and the poor, and the phenomenon of prisoners of war and debtors becoming slaves is widespread. Is Aztec culture influenced by horses? The influence of elegant culture. Agriculture is the main economic form, and they have developed unique agricultural farming methods. "Floating garden farming" means accumulating soil on reed rafts woven with reed flowers and floating on the water, then planting crops and fruit trees on this newly-built land, and tamping these artificially floating gardens with roots. At the same time, corn, beans, pumpkins, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, agave, figs, cocoa, cotton, tobacco and cactus are also planted on the land by the lake. Dogs are their only livestock, and poultry are mainly turkeys. They can smelt gold, silver, copper, tin and bronze. The Aztecs' pottery-making technology is also very clever. The pottery they made was brown-black, with complex geometric patterns and flowers, birds, fish and insects, with excellent texture and beautiful shape. Especially in the pattern art of textiles and fabrics. Aztec feather embroidery is a kind of feather ornament inlaid with feathers, which is exquisite and unusual. Several works that have been preserved for hundreds of years still have bright luster and strong texture, which shows that the production technology is excellent. The Aztecs had calendars and hieroglyphics similar to those of the Mayans. They set a year as 365.06 days, divided into 18 months, 20 days per month and 5 days per week. Every day has a specific name, such as Year of the Monkey, Rainy Day, Marine Animal Day and so on. Aztec hieroglyphs suffered almost the same fate as the Mayans, and most of them were burned by Spanish colonists. Only two "tribute books" are preserved, which are valuable materials for understanding the social life of Aztecs. Nositi, the capital city of Tran, embodies the architectural art of Aztecs. The city is built on two small islands, and there are three wide dikes connected with the lakeshore, one of which is 1 1. It is 2 kilometers long, and there is a suspension bridge on the long dike to stop the enemy. The streets in the city are neat, the gardens are everywhere, the water supply system is complete, and the number of residents exceeds 65,438+10,000, which is larger than that of London and Paris at that time. There are 40 pyramid temples in the city, and the largest one in the central square is 35 meters high with 144 steps. The rich man's house is painted white or red, which is extremely gorgeous. The Spanish colonist Cortez led the army to invade, and the tribe could not unite as one. Coupled with the vacillation of King Montezuma and the activities of traitors, Aztec was finally conquered by Spain in 152 1. This is the first page of a manuscript, which tells us how Nositi in Tran prospered. In the middle of the pattern is the Aztec symbol.
