Chapter 282: New Customs and Old Rituals (4)
Shu Prisoner Qi seems to understand, but in fact, it is not very clear.
Thinking of the content of the personal attack written on the card I saw just now, and thinking that the superior in charge of propaganda suddenly attached so much importance to it, he couldn't help asking: "Is it because of those who say that we are Yidi's attack and slander, that we attach so much importance to it?" ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he laughed and said, "Those attacks are a fart." ”
After laughing, he sighed and pulled out another one from the pile of papers, trembled, and said, "There is something wrong with the land reform and changing customs in Nanzheng and Hanshui. ”
"Therefore, the decision made from above to change customs should revolve around eight words."
"Stick to the rules and respect traditions."
"It's hard to do. What are the bottom lines? What are the traditions that don't involve the bottom line? This needs to be renegotiated. ”
These papers should have only been sent here for a short time, although the prisoner heard the other party say lightly, "Something is wrong", but after thinking about it, if the problem there was a small problem in Nan Zheng Hanzhong, he would definitely not attach so much importance to it, so he hurriedly issued instructions to various places.
"It should be because of the land reform and the change of customs, which led to some rebellion in Nanzheng, right?"
I thought to myself, and said that if there was not a large-scale rebellion, it would not be like this. Although he had never been to Bashu Hanzhong, he knew from the book that the situation there was much more complicated than here, and the power projected by the Mo family over there was not very sufficient, maybe some things were too much, after all, there were still some obscenity, witches and other sacrificial customs.
Then I thought of the Hu Renmo who had a good relationship with me at the beginning, and I heard that I went to Nanzheng after going to Sishang with Suo Lushen last time, and I don't know if the complaints he made after he got drunk that day were answered.
After thinking about it, and finally came back to reality, Shu Prisoner Qi asked: "If you have to stick to the rules, then in fact, this marriage is completed?" The two love each other, just like the private love of men and women in the middle of spring...... Even if her parents oppose it, can she get married? ”
The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, "This is the problem." According to the rules of Sishang, it is possible. But...... We can't use the rules of Sishang to enforce the laws here, we don't have civil laws here, only punishments, so some of the laws in Sishang can't be used here. ”
"Civil law and penal and distinct, this is in ......"
Halfway through the conversation, it came to an abrupt end, and the middle-aged man didn't dwell on this issue that had been arguing and debating in Sishang for nearly ten years, but instead said, "Don't talk about that." As an inker, you are also an officer...... If other people's parents just don't agree, what are we like? It's hard to explain, especially our Xuanyi Department. ”
"Do you know the word 'marry' in 'marrying', how to write Cangjie when he made the word?"
Shu Prisoner Mi has also learned cheap characters, but the six books in the six arts of the gentleman are not clear. The six books are not just words, but the connotation of words, not to mention the capture of Shu, that is, the vast majority of people in Sishang who think they can read and write are not proficient, and there is a class in Xuxu University that specializes in learning these things.
The middle-aged man shook his head without waiting for the captive, lifted the brush, and wrote on the paper the word "marry" from the time of the "Taigu" Cangjie calligraphy.
On the left is a kneeling woman with two ears enlarged emphatically, and on the right is an axe of axes, symbolizing war and conquest.
If you go back to the roots, it's easy to see what it means.
Shu Prisoner Mi looked down at the word "marry" on the paper, and said strangely: "Cut off your ears, this is a way to calculate military merits." Someone knelt there, with an axe on the right, was to say...... The original intention of marrying was to rob? ”
This word is so obvious that Shu Zhumi, who has not studied the six books, can understand the meaning of this word at a glance.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Exactly. Married, military exploits and plunder. ”
"Don't you hear that the 62 words of "Yi", Tunru, Fu Ru, and Riding a Horse Banru. Bandits, marriages. ”
That is to say, in ancient times, riding horses and patrolling may have been enemies, or they may have come to marry. You also know that our Mo family said that if you don't marry with the same surname, that's to prevent giving birth to children who can't raise much. ”
"Therefore, in ancient times, wives were snatched from other places, and this is the original intention of marrying."
"What is the law? What is Virtue? The word 'in' in our Mohist dialectics makes it very clear that Yao's policy is good governance if you look at the past with the present. But putting Yao in the present is not only not good governance, but also bad governance. ”
"In the primeval times, there was no king, the people gathered in the group, the mother did not know the father, there was no difference between relatives and brothers, husband and wife, men and women, there was no way of the upper and lower elders, there was no gift of advance and retreat, there was no clothing and tracks, the convenience of the palace and the accumulation of animals, and there was no equipment, boats, cars, and cities."
"At that time, the people gathered in a crowd, knowing the mother but not the father, that was the law, that was virtue. Including snatching relatives and snatching women, these are all laws and virtues recognized by the world, and they are recognized. ”
"So what will happen if you do it now? You said, Yao Shun also robbed his relatives when he was a child, and I robbed it now...... I'm afraid I'm going to be shot, right? ”
Where does Shu Prisoner Mi know what "Yi", where does he know what Liu'er is, what is Tun hexagram, but the things that the middle-aged people say are the result of Mohist morality and logic, that is to say, in ancient times, robbing relatives was protected by law and recognized, and now it is to be shot.
This shows that the so-called benevolent government at that time was based on the time, and if it is put into the present proper evil government, the same principle - morality, law, good and evil are all changing with the times, and there is no eternal, universal, and eternal morality in the world.
The prisoner hurriedly said: "I didn't want to rob the ......."
The middle-aged man smiled: "Yes, you didn't go to rob relatives, but if you really do love between men and women without asking your parents, for the current customs and morals, you are robbing relatives." I repeat, this is not Sishang, this is Takayanagi, it's different. ”
"Morally, reasonably, and legally, I definitely support you. But support is support, and the procedures that should be taken are still to be followed. ”
"The dowry, the Nacai, it's all to be done. Of course, Najib has to do it too...... You also know that our Mo family's Najib is only auspicious and not fierce. ”
Najib is divination, which is a habit that has been passed down since the Shang Dynasty, and if it is a bad omen, it is generally equivalent to the failure of the marriage.
The Mo family itself has its own system of sacrificing ghosts and gods, and the handling of this matter follows the eight words of "sticking to the rules and respecting the tradition" - all the hexagrams for marriage divination are all auspicious signs, taking this form, but not following its essence.
Shu Prisoner pouted and muttered, "Doesn't this ultimately depend on the opinions of the people's families?" This is different from our rules. ”
The middle-aged man persuaded: "You also have to be considerate. If this is in Sishang, it is easy to say anything. But here, the impact must be considered. It is precisely because of your special situation that I attach so much importance to it. ”
"Will you be in Takayanagi in the future?"
"Are your parents in Takayanagi?"
"What if you go back to Si in the future?
"You have a personal relationship with others, and they just don't agree, does this count as a bully by our Mo family?"
"According to the law of Sishang, being supported is a right, and maintenance is an obligation, which is common to both men and women. If you go back to Sishang, how will you fulfill your obligation to support? These are all problems that need to be addressed. ”
But then again, parents don't necessarily disagree. You first find someone to give a dowry, and according to the rules here, whether it is a deerskin or a sheepskin, depending on your financial resources. ”
"There are no geese, bring a pair of big white geese, pick birds, no birds, how to pick?"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man smiled again: "If it is really according to the courtesy, in fact, the hiring of geese itself is trespassing." Only the doctor can use geese, the soldiers must use pheasants, and the common people use cloth...... It's just that we don't talk about these rules, so we usually carry chickens, ducks and geese at home. ”
Shu Prisoner was stunned and said: "It turns out that the poem sings, the hooligan's stalk, hugging the cloth trade silk...... Is that what it means? ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's what it means, but we don't pay attention to etiquette, so we don't delve into the hierarchical rules contained in the cloth trade silk."
"If this is according to the law of etiquette, all the common people who hire geese and geese will be guilty of trespassing and will be punished with five punishments."
Thinking of when he got married, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile, when he got married, he was in Sishang, and he used a glass mirror as a dowry, which was directly counted as a variant of the princes' level.
And at that time, he was young and vigorous, and he felt that the Son of Heaven was optional, and the sage lived in it, so the wine he drank on the wedding day was made of tulip juice mixed with millet rice, and it was pushed by the hierarchy, which was the wine that the Son of Heaven could only use when he got married-his behavior was no less than dancing in the court, or even more excessive.
When he was young and vigorous, he didn't want to be the Son of Heaven, but he declared a kind of rebellion: You can drink the Son of Heaven, I can also drink Lao Tzu, and you came to Sishang to defeat our righteous teacher to arrest me.
Shu Prisoner Mi didn't understand the difference between folk customs and rules, but he was still distressed, and asked: "This time, I will hire Nacai, I will go by myself?" Or do you want to find someone to go to? According to the rules, I must have my family present at that time, but I am close to one of my sisters, in the clouds...... So who do I look for? ”
The middle-aged man laughed at the captive and said, "Don't look for me." This matter is not in charge of the Xuanyi Department, I will also take care of your process, customs, wedding process, and you have to find someone from the Organization Department to do it for you. I will communicate with the other side, and the specific person hired will find someone to be responsible. In the future, there will be more such things, and the organization department will have to arrange some special people to take care of these things. ”
"Our Xuanyi Department is to preside over the wedding. What can be used is not in accordance with our rules, is not conducive to the people of the world, is not conducive to the righteousness of love and equality, and is not used. ”
"You go to the Organizational Department. We'll arrange the rest. ”
"You said, you are young, we count you as elders according to age, but Gao Yanagi, who is the same generation as your father, is in a high position, and it is not easy to come forward, but it seems to be going to oppress people with power."
"There's no way, let's solve this matter over to the Organization Department."
The prisoner borrowed some money before leaving, and the middle-aged man put down the paper and said to the city captain: "I almost forgot to get down to business." Tomorrow I will put up these newspapers, and I will still read them in the city. ”
…………
Although the captive only replied with a "good" word to the girl's proposal, and didn't say much, the girl believed that the lover would not lie to her.
When she got home, she hid it from her mother, washed her clothes and body, and didn't want her to call her aside two days later and asked, "Did you go to the lecture the day before yesterday?" ”
The girl sighed in her heart, naturally she didn't go the day before yesterday, not only did she not go, but she also did something that seemed to be something she shouldn't do.
She is also a smart and clever person, knowing that her mother will not ask questions for no reason, so she hurriedly laughed and said: "I originally wanted to go, but I didn't want to ......."
Dang's mother's face was slightly dark, and she snorted: "Didn't you want to play with the young man of the Mo family?" It's not that you haven't thought about it, you have already planned it. I don't agree with that. ”
disagreeing with the three words, like a lightning strike, the girl's heart jumped, but she still sang with a smile: "Good mother, I'll sing you a song." ”
Pan Pi Bai boat, in the middle of the river. The two are fashionable, and the real is my instrument. Death swept away it. Mother is also heavenly! Unforgiving!
Pan Pi Bai boat, on the side of the river. The two are fashionable, and the real is different. The fate of the arrow. Mother is also heavenly! Unforgiving!
The song "Bai Zhou" was supposed to be an extremely sad sigh, but it was sung by the girls in a playful tone.
The content of this popular song is simple, the woman fell in love with a young man, he would not marry him, and she would not swerve until death, but her mother did not agree, so she sang sadly "Mom, why can't you be considerate and considerate of me?" ”
After listening to this song, the mother hummed and said, "You only thought that I wouldn't be able to sing just because you went to the Mo family's school and learned some poetry?" ”
