Chapter 741: The First Time (Part II)
Chinese etiquette is many and complex, and it is basically impossible to have a noble taste without learning from a young age, and whether there is a noble temperament like a nobleman is used to evaluate the family background.
In fact, it is not easy to cultivate a person with an aristocratic temperament, that is, any detail of life has become a habit of etiquette, and it is not a pretense to be an aristocratic style.
Lu Zhe did not learn aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, and even said that no one present had such an environment since he was a child, so no one seemed to have classical elegance. They were able to hold banquets according to the etiquette of the ancient pre-Qin, firstly because many people belonging to "that era" were still alive, and secondly, the arsonists did not enter the Qin land and set fire all the way over.
What is the cause of the cultural disconnect? The cultural inheritance of Chinese civilization has been destroyed because of war, more and more etiquette has disappeared, and because of the continuous entry of Hu people into the Central Plains to blockade and destroy the original civilization of China, as a result, many people think that it is not something that is originally Chinese civilization at all, such as the worship of the dragon is one of them.
Many people think that the worship of the dragon has existed since the beginning of Chinese civilization, but the ancient pre-Qin dynasty has been to the Han Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty (Yuan), the Ming Dynasty, and then the Ming Dynasty died again, the totem and worship of the dragon is not wrong, such as the Spring and Autumn Period was destroyed by the Chu State and the Wu State, but the dragon is not a totem representing the Chinese civilization, the totem of the birds from the ancient pre-Qin to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is the mainstream, and then the totem has basically been weakened in the Han and subsequent dynasties, and it is to " I Daqing "The dragon really became the representative of the country and the emperor, as for the legend of the dragon...... That's something that only happens in modern times.
So, ignorance is not the most terrible, what is terrible is that someone tells the wrong thing and brainwashes it again and again, that will be the beginning of the destruction of a civilization, and fundamentally make a civilization lose its originality. Replace it with something made up.
The pure Yue Nu and Wu Nu performed dances Lu Zhe had never seen it, and that was because he didn't pay attention to enjoyment. In fact, a person who returns from modern times to ancient times, once at the end of the ancient pre-Qin period more than 2,200 years ago, will lose interest in any entertainment, after all, he has never seen anything in modern times, right?
Lu Zhe saw that Yue Nu and Wu Nu were really dancing like a slideshow photo again, and he still kept his eyes scanning the women. Of course, he wasn't looking at the looming women's figures, he was checking where those women could hide their weapons. He couldn't see that those women had any place to hide their weapons after watching for a long time, and he had to wonder if he was really too suspicious.
Retract her gaze from the geisha. Lu Zhe turned to observe the three maids beside him, although the maids were wearing linen dresses, but this kind of long skirt was very close-fitting, and there was no possibility that zài could hide weapons. The best part? It was he who knew very well that not only were the samurai closely watched by the maids, but there must also be crossbowmen staring at them in the distance, and if there was something wrong with the three maids, the crossbow arrows would come at the first time, and the samurai would immediately split their swords into corpses.
"I guess you're really suspicious?" Lu Zhe, who had relaxed, raised his gaze and happened to see Zhao Xie on the opposite side holding up a drink to drink. He also raised the wine and drank it together. After putting down the cup, he raised the dagger and fork that were placed on the long table, divided the piece of meat that was unique to the whole feast, and took some of it and placed it on an empty plate beside him. He also said: "King Zhao, please use it." ”
Dividing the meat is also one of the classical rituals in China, which has always been given by the Son of Heaven to the princes, and the meaning contained is the meaning of "sharing the world". This set of etiquette Lu Zhe has practiced many times, after all, whether it is in the marquis of meritorious heroes, or during the merger with Qin and Zhao, this set of etiquette will be used.
Dividing the meat is a very strict occasion. The music with the flavor of Zhao has stopped, and it is replaced by a very orthodox Yale, Lu Zhe is slowly cutting the meat in the kind of Yale without any ups and downs, and giving Zhao Xie a relatively large piece, and those ministers who belong to the Han State are also fortunate to get a small piece, as for the Zhao State Lu Zhe only gave Chen Yu, Zhang Er, and Wuchen, and the rest of the Zhao courtiers had no share.
When Lu Zhe distributed the Zuo Meat one by one, he could see that Zhao Xie was very excited, everyone who got the Zuo Meat was quite excited, and some people were even so excited that they shed tears.
Zuo meat! That is what the Son of Heaven will only have if he gives the king, Lu Zhe gave Zhao Xie the Zuo Meat to once again confirm that Zhao Xie will be a princely king, and the Zuo Meat to the other people is to recognize their merits, and it is also to encourage them to make more meritorious contributions, hoping that the merits they have established can reach the merits of the king.
In fact, it is Lu Zhe who can do such a thing, after all, in the era when he lived and grew up, Zuo meat was just a sacrifice to worship gods and ancestors, although it was also sacred, but the meaning contained in it was absolutely different from the era in which he was currently living. But seeing Zhao Xie excited like that, some ministers were also so excited that they shed tears and showed a moving expression, he can be regarded as buying people's hearts and doing the right thing, right?
Some of the people who were not given Zuo Rou made a gesture of bowing their heads and bowing their eyebrows, while others looked at the Zuo Rou on other people's desks with envy or jealousy. Their appearance was basically seen by Lu Zhe, and when Lu Zhe saw that no one showed a hateful or hideous expression, although the vigilance in his heart was still there, he was already very relaxed.
Lu Zhe had a smile on his face, and the banquet naturally became relaxed, and then the music began to change continuously as if it was in an exhibition, almost playing the music styles of the seven major countries of the Warring States Period. The geisha are also constantly changing their female concubines, from Yue Nu to Zhao Nu changing dances one by one.
The prefix in front of the female concubine is to describe where the source comes from, and this "source" does not refer to the origin or ancestral home, but the culture of the country in which they dance.
At this time, the dance came from farming, animals, and prayer, and the dance was choreographed later than the prayer type of dance that imitated the movements of farming and animals, after all, the so-called dance was first called "Wudao", that is, it evolved from the Nu dance. What does a dance do? In fact, it is a kind of "invitation to God" used by shamans to pray to gods or ancestors, which is called jumping in modern times. Of course, the modern dance and the ancient dance are two different things, but the intention is the same. The dance does not have the spirit of killing, and the dancing beggar pays attention to the word "乩", the font of "乩" and "war" is very similar, and every word of the hieroglyphs has its meaning, so the modern dancing beggar is actually evolved from a kind of war prayer.
Some people suspect that jumping is not the original culture of China. It comes from a habit of the Hu people. In fact, the Hu people also had the habit of praying before the war, but it was not the soldiers themselves who participated in the prayer, but the prayer was performed in front of the army or the nobles, whether they were called shamans or shamans. The Hu people do not have a systematic civilization system, so even if they pray to the gods, they will not have a fixed routine, they can only jump around, and they also worship killing and blood, which can be seen from some documents that the Hu people prayed or divined to blood.
Speaking of prayer, the ancient pre-Qin really needed to pray to the worshiped totems or ancestors before going to war, the most obvious of which was the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jin soldiers must have to pray before going to war. The prayer posture is to kneel on one knee, then remove the helmet and lay on the ground, holding the weapon in both hands or holding the weapon in both hands in a respectful posture, and reciting the prayer in his mouth. It is impossible to determine what the prayers of the Jin soldiers were, but they always performed this kind of ritual collectively, and they paid considerable attention to collective consciousness, so they were given a stereotypical description of their character, along with a good record of the Jin army.
Lu Zhe naturally had no interest in singing and dancing, although his eyes were looking at the geisha who was dancing. My ears were listening to music, but I was already thinking about whether I should come up with a set of entertainment that belonged to the empire.
Oh, it's entertainment, not culture, and the so-called entertainment is naturally music and dance. These days, it doesn't matter who inherits from whom. Every country must have its own unique entertainment, and the most direct way to explain the heritage and show its strength is to have its own style of music and dance. Why is there such a manifestation? It is not because the formation of a new style of music and dance is extremely exquisite, but also an extreme test of a country's cultural accumulation.
In Lu Zhe's thoughts, a bell rang to wake him up from his thoughts. By this time, the geisha had all left the stage and were replaced by musicians holding musical instruments.
Many of these musicians need to be supported because most of them are blind. The reason why he became blind is, of course, to bring his mastery of music one step closer. And those musicians who are not blind are basically relatively young, and it is estimated that their love for music has not reached the point of giving up vision?
Lu Zhe, who had been distracted for a long time, asked Sima Xin next to him to know that the banquet had reached a new link, that is, as the person with the highest status on the scene, Lu Zhe has the right to name a certain musician to play alone, in fact, there is also a specific meaning here, which is the same as the meaning of who wants to be popular in modern times. If Lu Zhe wants to let someone play alone, it's fine, but he wants to express his gratitude to the musicians and reward them for their hard work in playing music.
There is no need to thank the geisha, especially to the musicians, because of the sacred nature of music in this era, Lu Zhe naturally gave wine and meat according to the established etiquette.
The musician should have left the stage when he came to this link, but a blind musician of about fifty or so made a request, he wanted to perform an additional program, that is, he could walk to the side of the most honorable person present without anyone's support, and if he could really find the most honorable person, whatever he got should be a reward.
Find the most honorable person to use the case location? There is a subconscious suggestive behavior here, which according to the modern meaning is "take you to pretend to be forced to fly with you", encouraging the person of noble status to show off, and it is precisely human nature to show off.
At this moment, Lu Zhe, who had already relaxed his vigilance, kept shouting in his heart: "Here, it is really to stage an assassination play, and to find out this ridiculous psychological hint." ”
Cangtian, that musician used this method to deceive the "ancients" who would make stupid mistakes, Lu Zhe didn't even know how many movies, novels, and serials he watched, so it would be strange to be that kind of fool! (To be continued......) R1292
