Chapter 285: New Customs and Old Rituals (7)

Whether it is Xuanniao, Jian Di, Jumang, Dongjun, or the fertility goddess with exaggerated breasts, in fact, it is from the same origin, and the core of the story is also the same, and it will eventually be accompanied by a unified synonym and turn into a fixed image.

At this time, the myth had gradually taken shape, although the Mohists were making up the myth of "identity", and the schools of thought were actually making it up.

Chu and other places have even made up the story of Fuxi Nuwa giving birth to four sons and opening the world, trying to prove that they are part of Zhuxia, although the Mo family is making up the story of Fuxi Nuwa and opening the world, but the two sides are actually at the same time, and the focus of the Mo family is on the preliminary explanation of genetics, not for the myth itself.

According to the chaotic myth at this time, Fuxi and Taihao are actually not very clear, and Jumang is Taihao's Muzheng.

During the Yin Shang period, God was the ancestor of the Yin Shang dynasty, and the abstract collection of the Shang kings was God, and the Shang Dynasty was the sacred bloodline of the theocracy, and the descendants of God, together with the reason for the war, were all punishments for God. I am a descendant of God, I have a monopoly on divine power, and God is my ancestor, so whoever I want to fight is not that I want to fight, but that God wants to fight.

Zhou replaced Shang, it must be transformed together with mythology, the ancestor God who was originally exclusive to the Shang Dynasty was changed to Haotian God, and gradually moved closer to ancient mythology: everyone was a relative in ancient times, God is not the ancestor of your Yin merchants, but Taihao and Fuxi in more ancient times, and the deification of the common ancestor is God, so whoever is virtuous is the son of heaven. If God is your Yin merchant relative, it will not be good for this martial king to cut down.

So Xuanniao and Jian Di became sentences. God is not your businessman's business, this god of spring and fertility also have to be replaced, once the son of heaven and a courtier.

In Zhuxia, the concept of God serving politics has long been understood.

God can change the position of a man, especially a worthy courtier.

The Mo family also used to focus on ghosts and gods, and the image of "Jumang" within the Mo family is the most interesting.

The face is square, covered with feathers, a human face, and a bird body, which is obviously made from the Xuanniao Jiandi, but with the gradual deepening of agricultural culture, men have become the dominant part of society, and the goddess has become a male god, which is fused with Jumang.

In addition to the square face, the image of Ju Mang inside the Mo family is holding a compass in his hand...... Square face plus compass, the so-called rules, are used to measure all kinds of things in the world.

In the Mojia story, Ju Mang saw Qin Mugong back then, because Qin Mugong, the monarch, did a good job, so as the envoy of the Emperor of Heaven, he gave Qin Mugong an extra nineteen years of life.

Whether it is the sacrificial image within the Mo family, or the sacrificial image within Confucianism, or the official sacrificial image of the Zhou Dynasty, although there are changes, the god of spring is all male, so the main sacrifice should be made by men, not witches.

Therefore, the official media of the official marriage must also use men, and the official media are all men.

However, the non-governmental media still use women, because the habits of the folk are not so easy to change, especially in the era of underdeveloped information.

The woman who stepped out of the car was the image of a standard northern folk matchmaker.

The head is curled to symbolize the decoration of plants and trees, which symbolizes the prosperity of plants and trees in spring, and is the standard image of the spring god witch.

The feathers on his body symbolize the sentence of Xuanniao, Jian Di and the body of the transgender human.

The private media in Gaoliucheng are easy to find, there are quite a few of them, but the matchmaker industry has not been very profitable over the years, and some of them are not good to do on the surface.

Because the private media ...... The main means of making money is to sacrifice and deceive people, and they are middlemen in buying and selling women, especially when buying and selling marriages is extremely popular at the bottom, they are extremely profitable.

If they were in Sishang, they would be the same people who were poisoned to death in the first place.

In Yedi, it is the witch who presides over Hebo's wife.

In Takayanagi, it is a crime to sacrifice and deceive people, and the sale and purchase of marriages are also strictly controlled, and they have had to be real matchmakers over the years, just matching to earn some labor fees, and some people even wash their hands and run away from other places, and those who stay are not guilty of acting as matchmakers.

The matchmaker is also a folk tradition, as long as you don't engage in sacrifices, live sacrifices, money, buying and selling people, etc., you can also transform and bear it, and the Mo family also considered it, some of the practices in Sishang are still a little radical here, and you have to take your time to change customs, don't make a mess like Hanzhong again.

Speaking of which, wearing a bird feather costume can be regarded as a superstitious sacrifice, but it can also be regarded as a "folk costume".

For example, the high crown of the Chu State, the Mo family said that it was a custom left by the ancient sacrifices, and the learning was the tail of the bird and the crown and feathers on the bird's head, but if it was really not allowed, I was afraid that the Chu people would not be able to accept the Mo family.

The power of the Mo family in Gaoliu is not enough to turn the world as upside down as in Sishang, and some things will go with the flow, as long as they stop engaging in sacrifices and deceiving people and buying and selling marriages, they will change customs, relying on money, relying on enough cadres, and relying on changes in productivity.

There are many in Sishang, but Takayanagi is not even worthy of Mr. Enlightenment.

This matchmaker was found by the Mo family a few days ago, and before the Mo family could speak, the matchmaker took the lead and shouted with the Mo family's reasoning: "Only harm is not guilty!" It is a crime to commit a forbidden crime! A law that was committed before the law was written is not a crime! ”

She has also bought and sold women before, engaged in sacrifices to cheat money, the Mo family originally had the science of sacrifice itself, they are all insiders, some methods can not be caught by others, but the Mo family can catch a quasi-child.

It's just that I've reined in my hands and feet over the years, and I don't dare to make a mistake, so I just rely on being a matchmaker to collect labor fees and mix a wedding meal to make a living.

I feel tired of working, I can't sit still when I go to weaving, and I can only make a living by doing this business, that is, the customs on Takayanagi's side have not changed, and her life is naturally worse than before, but it is not bad.

At that time, several people in the Mo family were laughed at by the matchmaker, and the one led by them laughed and scolded: "You learn other things slowly, but you learn this quickly." It's not to arrest you, we have also checked in the past few years, and indeed you haven't done those things of sacrificing money and buying and selling marriages. ”

What kind of character is that matchmaker, a woman like a human spirit, as soon as she heard this, she immediately laughed and said: "I still know the heart of the Mo family to benefit the world." I didn't understand it before, but now I understand, where do I dare to do it again? What are the comrades looking for me? ”

When the Mo family heard the word comrade, they couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "The Xuanyi Department invites you to have a drink." ”

The matchmaker smiled again: "Oh, the Xuanyi Department didn't gather us together to give lectures, but we want to eat and drink?" It's a miracle. ”

She also knew that the Mo family would not make up reasons for arresting people, and besides, if a character like her really arrested her, she didn't have to do so, the city captain could do it, where to use the Xuanyi Department to come forward.

After thinking about it, I really haven't made any mistakes in the past few years, so I followed.

After I went, I found that it was not just her, but also six or seven others who were invited together, all of whom were former colleagues, and they all glanced at each other after meeting, and their eyes were full of strange emotions of "you are here too". Schadenfreude, nervousness, and solidarity.

said that it was eating wine, it was really eating wine, there were some meat, wine, dates, persimmon cakes, peanuts and other things on the table, as soon as the people from the Xuanyi Department came forward, these matchmakers got up and saluted.

After a few words, these matchmakers can be regarded as relieved.

It turned out to be like this:

According to the customs of weddings, different classes have different wedding specifications. The collapse of etiquette and music led to many merchants beginning to trespass, which also led to the extravagance and comparison of the people, which made the wedding very expensive.

Where there is contrast, there is harm. The Mohists talk about equality, but they have to intervene in some things, so that this kind of equality must at least achieve superficial equality, and superficial equality is the first step to break the deep-rooted hierarchy of the people, so that superficial equality can spread the concept of equality more smoothly.

There is no music for the wedding in Zhuxia, and it is not allowed to use silk bamboo, drum music, etc.

The Confucian explanation is that marrying a daughter is a very sad thing for a daughter to leave home, which can be seen in the virtue of family affection, so because of this sadness, there is no need to drum music.

The Mohist explanation is that the word marrying was not to marry at the beginning, but to rob, so the habit at that time was handed down and did not use drums.

How to explain this one thing and the existing tradition at this moment must be correct, but the whole moral difference involves other things, and it is really irreconcilable.

Silk and bamboo drum music is not used, there is no difference between this, no matter who has the money, it is impossible to invite a bunch of musicians to play and sing at the wedding, so at this time it is not the scenery, it is a shame.

However, except for this point, which can achieve the unity of the rich and the poor, the rest is different.

For example, if you go to pick up your relatives on the night of your wedding, if you are richer and noble, you must have a carriage.

No matter how rich and noble it is, the carriage must be a special wedding car.

For those who are richer and more noble, the carriage should be painted black, and the carriage should be followed by four people, two of whom hold candles in front of them, and two of whom will block the candles from the wind.

Of course, the more cars, the better, and the more people, the better, which makes a gap and makes the comparison more and more popular, especially after Takayanagi has developed well in recent years and has some money.

It's the same with the woman's side, and the woman's side must also have to follow the car.

The car could not go home that year, and it was necessary to stay with the man for three months before he could complete the "return to the horse" ceremony.

The reason why it is three months is because I am afraid that a woman will be pregnant with someone else's child before marriage, and there is no pregnancy test stick at that time, so it is considered a real marriage after three months.

If you find out that the child in your belly may not be your own within three months, it just so happens that the woman's car is on the man's side, and the woman will go back directly.

In addition, there are also clothes, utensils, items, etc. at the time of marriage, all of which show disparities and differences everywhere.

Some more people are about to move in, in order to prevent these new people from having a gap in identity, and some other reasons, the Xuanyi Department on Takayanagi's side decided to get an "official media".

Develop a standardized, rule-based, traditional, superficially equal, and non-extravagant wedding process.

To achieve that whoever gets married, on the surface, it looks similar.

It is necessary to compress the process and ban some bad customs.

Make sure it's festive but not too much for the wedding.

It is necessary to make sure that the people recognize that the feeling has not changed much from before, but unconsciously change some anachronistic and moral customs that are rationally inferred.

Therefore, they found these matchmakers who were familiar with this way, and the Mo family paid for some special carriages for weddings, some specialized practitioners, and official media, so as to match and match as early as possible and have children early.

All kinds of marriage processes are solved through the official media, and no one can see how much dowry is hired and how much dowry is given; The process of the wedding is public and everyone can see it, so it is basically the same and everyone looks good.

By the way, if the wedding date is fixed, these matchmakers should give the bride who is about to marry a pre-marital sexual education.

Even if the Mo family came forward and prepared a "company" integrating weddings, education, ceremonies, and matchmaking.

There are some things that can be done by the official in Sishang, and the power is sufficient, such as sex education is completed in the school. In some cases, in Takayanagi, we have to mobilize the power of the people, cooperate with the government and the private sector, and strive to change customs on the surface and in a transparent way.

These seemingly useless things are also part of the "synonym".

The same myth, the same writing, the same wedding customs, the same morality, the same law, the same interpretation of the world...... Only in this way can Qin Chuyan, Han Zhao, and Wei Qi be pinched into the same world.

…………

ps: During the Warring States Period, the myth of Fuxi Nuwa had already taken shape in the Chu State, and the myth itself was also part of Zhuxia's identity. The theocratic nature of Yin Shang is very heavy, and the concept of God has existed for a long time, but Zhou Gong and Jiang Ziya skillfully retained God and revised the concept of God, so that God is no longer just the ancestor of Yin Shang, but has become the ancestor of the entire Zhuxia, thus gaining the legitimacy of divine power. Later, the missionaries came to the west, and it can be regarded as a very clever borrowing of God's name, although the egg hurts hatefully, but in terms of means, it is indeed clever. In addition to transliterated words such as coffee, paraphrases are long-standing but neglected, and then gradually seem to have become foreign words, which can be regarded as a sad decline of civilization for 400 years.
