Chapter Seventy-Five: The Temple
In the dormitory, the ancestral tablets are in the same room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition to the gods left by the emperor for himself, there are many mezzanine rooms, which are dedicated to the emperor's ancestors, including the emperor's great-grandfather Dezu, great-grandfather Yizu, grandfather Xizu, and father Renzu.
These gods can still be placed in the temple, but when the seven temples of the Son of Heaven are occupied when the seven temples of the Son of Heaven are occupied, they will be moved to the apse, that is, the temple, according to the regulations.
Regarding this etiquette, Zhang Zhaohua listened to the tour guide when he visited the Taimiao Temple in his last life.
In the Chinese dynasties, all patriarchal systems were based on the Zhou rites, and the Zhou rites were stipulated as follows: "The seven temples of the Son of Heaven, the three Zhao and the three Mu, and the temple of the great ancestor are seven." "When it came to Wang Mang's time, it was increased to five ancestral temples and four pro-temples, a total of nine temples. Later dynasties all followed this system, that is to say, only nine emperors can be enshrined in the main hall of the temple, except for the god of the founding monarch will never move, the tablets of the other emperors are "kissed to the end".
What does this mean, it means that when the nine chambers of the dormitory are full, and there is no place for the gods, the god of the emperor who is the farthest from the current emperor should be selected, and his god lord should be invited out of the nine temples and enshrined in the temple at the back.
It stands to reason that the kinship relationship of the founding emperor should be very far away, but there is a rule that the founding ancestor is "eternal and unobstructed", no matter how far the relationship is, he is firmly in the middle of the temple.
This kind of system, when the tour guide explained, was based on the Ming Dynasty as an example - there was no temple in the Qing Dynasty, because before the death of Emperor Daoguang, on the grounds of restoring the system of seven temples of the Son of Heaven, he proposed that he would not have a temple after his death. And this kind of advice is contrary to etiquette and cannot be implemented at all. When the Tongzhi Emperor was in the temple, the nine rooms of the temple were full, because the Qing Dynasty emperor's temple had no precedent for relocation, so he had to follow the law of the reform of the first temple, and expanded the nine rooms of the temple to seventeen rooms, and the Qing Dynasty emperor's temple number system changed from the nine temple system to the group temple system.
So the tour guide asked them these tourists - Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, in fact, before Jiajing, he was called Taizong, do you know why Emperor Jiajing changed his temple number?
Everyone said that they didn't know, and the tour guide explained with great interest, explaining that Emperor Jiajing of the Dynasty was enshrined as the son of a vassal king, and his father Xingxian Wang had not been an emperor, so it was impossible to enter the Taimiao. In order to recognize his father, Emperor Jiajing had a solid quarrel with his ministers, which is known as the "Great Discussion Ceremony" in history.
It is said that Emperor Jiajing is not satisfied with making his father the emperor, and wants to get him into the Taimiao. Under the majesty of the court staff, the minister had no choice but to give in, but at that time, the nine places in the temple were already full, and if he stuffed his father again, he would have to come out. In terms of kinship, the farthest must be Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, but the founding emperor is not mysterious, and under him, of course, Taizong Zhu Di and Emperor Jiajing are the farthest relatives, so if you want to be aware, you should undoubtedly bring Zhu Di out.
That's Taizong Zhu Di, what a person who has made such a meritorious career - even if Jiajing dares to ask an ancestor to come out, he doesn't dare to show him. This self-aware Emperor Jiajing still has it, if not to say that Emperor Jiajing is smart, he changed Zhu Di's nickname to "Qitian Hongdao Gaoming Zhaoyun Shengwu Shengong Pure Ren to Emperor Xiaowen", and the temple name was changed to "Chengzu", so that he and Zhu Yuanzhang can be called ancestors, and they are both "eternal and unobstructed", and they are being worshiped in Taimiao.
In this way, Taizu and Chengzu did not move, and the emperor who was the farthest related in addition to Taizu Chengzu was the emperor, and it seemed that Zhu Di's son was lost - I don't know which emperor it was, and what the temple number was, Zhang Zhaohua was distracted at that time and didn't hear clearly.
This is the reason why Zhu Di is Ming Chengzu and not Ming Taizong.
When Zhang Zhaohua thought of this, he regretted that he was distracted by the screams of a child in the Taimiao at that time, and he didn't hear the name of the emperor who was expelled from the place told by the tour guide.
Do you think that after King Yan succeeded in seizing the heir, there would be no such thing as seizing the heir, and it would be subsided-impossible, but judging from the history books, after Tang Taizong killed a brother and a brother and became the emperor, his sons fought even harder, and it was the youngest son who sat on the throne in the end.
Zhang Zhaohua felt that the current situation was not much different from Tang Shi, because she knew that King Yan also killed his relatives and illegally usurped the throne, and like Tang Taizong, he had three sons-in-law.
She didn't know which one was the last one to sit on the throne -- although Gao Chi was both a descendant and a long-term heir, wasn't Li Chengqian? Looking at his fate, people always took warning. You know, history is constantly repeated, and even if it is not repeated, it has the same rhyme.
Zhang Zhaohua hid such worries in his heart.
She came out of the temple, and the glow of the evening gradually showed the colors of purple, blue, green and green. She had never seen this colorful glow, and the bright red color of the Taimiao in front of her, as if it reflected a kaleidoscopic glow.
She seemed to see someone greet the god of the emperor and queen of the dormitory temple and welcome him to the front hall, and some people carried the sacrifice of the sacrifice house and the slaughtering pavilion to the temple in an orderly manner, and also saw the emperor wearing a gown with his right arm exposed to greet him, and then at this time, the ceremonial officials were ringing the bell and playing music, in the simple and melodious music, the emperor and the ministers sang the sacrificial songs and sang in unison, dancing.
Although the lyrics are profound and difficult, Zhang Zhaohua can actually understand it, saying that the sacrifice of sacrifice is big and fat, which can win the joy of the ancestors and gods, and hopes that the ancestors will continue to bless and hope that the world will always be so peaceful.
She seemed to understand the purpose of the sacrifice.
Zongmiao salutes, do not forget relatives, self-cultivation and prudence, fear of humiliation first.
Sacrifice is nostalgia, as if in such a ceremony, a way to communicate with the ancestors has been found. Looking at the gradually increasing number of tablets here, you can know how many ages, how many ancestors, which ancestors, and what kind of contributions have been made.
When you get here, you can't help but reflect on yourself, afraid that you have done something wrong and will insult your ancestors.
Zhang Zhaohua felt that this trip to Taimiao was full of gains.
When she went out, Lu's car had already left in advance, leaving a message for her to hurry up to Geng's mansion, don't delay the merger ceremony of the county lord of Jiangdu, she looked at the hour, it was almost over, so she sat in a sedan chair and ordered to go to Geng's mansion.
When she arrived, it happened to be the beginning of the county lord and the guest of honor, Zhang Zhaohua retreated to the side, watched the female official serve the county lord to eat food, drank wine, and then helped her into the marriage room.
The princess and the princess followed in, and everyone wanted to put on her makeup. Zhang Zhaohua took the gift box from the palace maid and followed in.
followed by some auspicious words, the county lord of Jiangdu just replied lightly, making these princes and princesses who were about the same age as her a little embarrassed, and then everyone sent makeup, all of which were some jewelry or something, which was very in line with the meaning of makeup.
Fu's and Zhang Zhaohua and Lu's added makeup together, Fu's gift was a double-luan title longevity fruit golden hairpin, Zhang Zhaohua sent a carved gold diamond flower inlaid jade hairpin, and Lu's gift box was a chrysanthemum pattern silver hairpin.
Zhang Zhaohua saw it, and was immediately surprised, this hairpin, Zhang Zhaohua saw that the Lu family had worn it, and the Lu family actually used his own things to add makeup to the Jiangdu County Lord - this shouldn't be!
When Zhang Zhaohua learned that he was going to attend the wedding of the county lord of Jiangdu and add makeup, he told Gao Chi directly. Gao Chi made a few good palace hairpins from the silver bureau, but he was too old-fashioned to send them over, so he specially ordered Wang An to go to the most famous silver building in Yuhuatai, called the drawings, and asked Zhang Zhaohua to pick the good-looking ones himself.
Zhang Zhaohua was also not polite, he picked out five pieces of jewelry he liked, Gao Chi ordered to build it, and after sending it, it really fit Zhang Zhaohua's mind, Zhang Zhaohua picked a decent one from it and sent it over as a makeup gift.
