In the [[Zhangwo]] conception of Daxians as the peerless ideal of humanity, all other nations were lacking and inferior. There are many terms in the Daxian language for outsiders, foreigners and barbarians; epithets applied to most nations that eventually found themselves in thrall to the empire. But giving tribute was seen as a way out, and upwards. Coming under the wing of the greatest civilization and being cognizant of their own inadequacy and inferiority by obeisance and tribute was the first step towards an enlightenment. These nations went from ''Kakun'' and ''Hurd'' to the [[Good Barbarians]], peoples on the path to joining the Daxians at the pinnacle (a journey that would take them hundreds of thousands of years, by most moderate estimates). | |||
