Chapter 1345: The Rite of the Spring Festival
- The next day, it was a very grand festival of the Eden Empire, the Spring Festival, early in the morning, the emperor led the civil and military officials, out of the imperial capital gate, to the suburbs of the prairie, to carry out sacrifices, held a series of celebrations.
As Princess Oulia's entourage, Jiang Ping was also in the huge team that went out of the city to worship.
The mighty sacrificial procession went out of the city, all the way to the prairie on the outskirts, walked for a while, came to the land, began to set up camp, and after a period of chaos, the sacrificial ceremony began.
The majestic and solemn altar has been erected, towering on the endless prairie, one by one tents stretches endlessly, surrounded by civil and military officials, the emperor's iron winged chief ascended the altar and began the worship ceremony.
The spring festival is to worship the god of spring, this is an ancient festival, when the unicorn people were still in the primitive civilization period of slash-and-burn, such a spring festival ceremony was born, worship the gods, pray for the wind and rain of the ritual activities, until now, into the interstellar era, science and technology civilization has not known how much developed, but such primitive and ancient worship activities, or inherited and inherited.
Jiang Ping stood in the crowd, looking at the series of solemn and tedious ceremonies going on the altar, and there was no sneer or disdain in his heart, but a little solemnity.
These one-horned people prayed one by one, worshiped the god of spring, and prayed for good weather, which seemed very ignorant and ridiculous, but Jiang Ping did not think so, which reflected a kind of respect for traditional culture and the cohesion of the national spirit. Only by respecting the traditional culture of the nation can we talk about the development of civilization.
He couldn't help but think of the galaxy far away. The Federation of Humans, after entering the interstellar age. Many traditional cultural things have gradually disappeared with the progress of scientific and technological civilization, and they no longer exist, which is sad to think about.
With the development of civilization, many traditional cultures, although they have lost the soil for growth, there are some things that can be indelible and can be preserved forever, if only because they are not practical. It would be a pity and undeserved to have no value and to discard it completely.
Compared with the present, the inheritance and respect of the traditional culture and the traditional national spirit of the unicorn people, should human beings be very ashamed and ashamed. The technological civilization of the unicorn is compared to that of human beings. I don't know how advanced they are, but they still don't forget the traditional culture, and what qualifications do human beings have in the name of not using and having no value. Abandon all those traditional cultures as if they were all pieces of me.
For example, this spring festival worships the god of spring. Don't the unicorns understand the seasonal changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter? It's just an objective change in the rotation of the planets around the stars, worship the god of spring. It is neither practical nor scientific, but why do they insist on doing this, without it, it is just a reflection of the respect for the hard-working people who overcame thorns and thorns, and opened up civilization in ancient times!
Without the hard work of these ancient peoples, there would be no continuation of civilization, no progress of civilization, and without their Eden Empire today, there would be no Qiē that they have.
Respect for traditional culture is the basic virtue of a nation, and without this, the foundation of civilization will be lost, the development of civilization will not be talked about, and all the progress of civilization will become a castle in the air.
A great man said that people should have a little spirit, a person who only knows a, b, c, only knows X, Y, Z, only knows 1, 2, 3, practical is practical, but can it be called a human being, that is just a slave of scientific and technological civilization, the walking dead.
Why the unicorn people until now, still prevail poetry and songs, a variety of traditional culture is still prosperous, the truth of this, is really worth pondering, they inherited the traditional culture at the same time, but also developed advanced scientific and technological civilization, to achieve the perfect integration of traditional culture and scientific and technological civilization, to create such a brilliant Eden civilization, their success, can be known is not unreasonable.
Speaking of this, Jiang Ping couldn't help but think of the traditional civilization of the Huaxia people, of which I don't know how many have gradually been annihilated in the long river of history, which makes people sigh.
For example, the Confucianism, which has carried the culture of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, contains the exquisite ideals and philosophy of life of the predecessors of the sages, but now, once it is proposed, it is crowned with a big hat of "feudal superstition", which is to advocate the "idea of loyalty to the monarch", "foolish loyalty and filial piety", and it is the dross of advocating people to obey the people.
As soon as Confucius is mentioned, he scolds him as a national sinner, a villain who advocates the idea of feudal loyalty to the monarch, and wants to be beaten to death with a stick, but he does not understand a basic fact, Confucius lived in the era, the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many princes, Zhou Tianzi was just an ornament, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch was the most unmarketable.
These people may not know what Confucianism is, do not know the origin and development of Confucianism, and cannot distinguish its core values and the garb that is artificially dressed, but they just wishfully think that Confucianism is "loyal to the king", "foolish people", "inequality", and feudal dross.
A great man once said that people always have a little thought, maybe, you don't want Confucianism such a national cultural thought, so what kind of thought do you want, you say you want freedom, you want democracy, you want equality, but is there no such thing in the national cultural thought, Confucius's sentence "there is no class", isn't it the idea of equality, the sentence "three people must have my teacher", isn't it a good idea of democracy and equality.
Could it be that Confucius, a sage of the ages, would be even more stupid than you? What good is Zhongjun for him, he is not a king, what position does he have, he will be determined to advocate the idea of Zhongjun, even if he does, it is just to promote his set of ideas more smoothly, it is just an expedient measure.
Kong said that Chengren and Meng said that righteousness, the ideological brilliance in this is not a fluttering sentence of feudal dross, which can be covered up and denied.
An idea inevitably bears the imprint of a class, speaks from its class standpoint, is used by the ruling class, and inevitably bears the imprint of the ruling class, but when it is used by the people, it can also be rejuvenated in the new era.
Just like this one-horned man, their traditional culture is inherited and carried forward in the new era, not only has it not been eliminated with the development of scientific and technological civilization, annihilation, but it is more thriving, and it is precisely because of this that it has created such a vigorous and thriving Eden civilization.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ping couldn't help but fluctuate in his thoughts, and he was greatly touched in his heart.
If one day, I return to the galaxy, I must change the situation of traditional culture withering and annihilation again and again, and I must vigorously develop and carry forward the traditional culture and national spirit, so that the traditional culture and national spirit will be more carried forward in the new era, and develop together with scientific and technological civilization, just like the one-horned Eden Empire.
Jiang Ping couldn't help but clench his fists and muttered to himself in his heart.
The grand ceremonies are followed by traditional celebrations such as horse races, wrestling, singing and dancing, circus and so on.
Jiang Ping wandered aimlessly in the crowd, watching all kinds of traditional celebrations here, feeling the lively atmosphere, at this moment, he seemed to forget that he was an outsider, and the people around him seemed to forget that he was a pariah.
He was wandering around when a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed his arm.
The sudden attack took him aback, and he was about to shake it off subconsciously, when a voice sounded: "Jiang Ping!" ”
When he looked back, he saw a person standing beside him, who was that Yanman.
"Yanman, it turned out to be you!" Seeing that it was the other party, Jiang Ping shouted, but he was a little surprised.
"It's me, what, are you surprised?" Yan Man said.
Jiang Ping said: "No, it's nothing, I'm very happy to see you here." ”
Yan Man glanced at him and said, "I thought you had forgotten about others, but you have been in the limelight recently, and you have been proud for a while." ”
Jiang Ping said: "Where, it's just a coincidence, and I don't want to do that." ”
Yan Man said: "You don't know, you are in the limelight, I don't know how much trouble you will cause, you should be careful in the future." ”
Hearing the concern in the other party's words, Jiang Ping was also a little moved in his heart, and said: "Thank you for your concern, I understand, I said, I didn't want to do this, I just had to do it." But I'm just a pariah, and who cares about jealousy. ”
Yan Man said: "Why not, just like yesterday's Zhangtai Poetry Meeting, you shouldn't be so showy, it's okay, Princess Ouliya rewarded you with nine spirit beads, you shouldn't accept it, you accept it, wouldn't you offend General Senhai and Wuding Gongzi miserably, don't you understand!" ”
Jiang Ping said in his heart, I only know that the Nine Spirit Bead is an energy orb, and I don't care what I do with the rest.
However, knowing that this was a kind reminder from the other party, he didn't defend much, but said perfunctorily: "You're right, I didn't think about this matter." ”
Yan Man said: "But fortunately, now that Princess Oulia is protecting you, you don't have to worry too much about anything." I don't know why you left this shit luck, and you got such favor from Princess Oria! ”
Jiang Ping didn't know what to say about it, and he didn't know why Princess Oulia did this, so he could only say that the other party was a "good person".
Yan Man said again: "To tell you the truth, General Liu Yan once visited Princess Ouliya, originally wanted to deal with you, and revealed that he wanted to report to the military department and encourage the military department to send troops to the galaxy, but he was stopped by Princess Ouliya." ”
Jiang Ping had guessed something about this matter, and now that Yan Man said it, there was not much surprise.
Yan Man then continued: "But don't be happy yet, I heard that Captain Jing Chu recently went to the military headquarters, and it is estimated that he is talking about your galaxy Er Shi Xingren!" (To be continued......)
