Chapter 743: Six Rites

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After all, now he has only discovered two or three planets that can live in people, and to open a mine, Wang Pan is currently the most cost-effective only to use manpower, if he wants to get some fully automatic machines, it is also possible, but how many energy points do you need. You must know that Wang Pan's mining is not just one or two places, even if it is not very expensive, but the number is large, Wang Yi can't afford it.

This is also the reason why he has never gone to those mineral stars to mine, for Wang Pan, anyway, there is no one to grab those planets with him now, and they will not disappear if they are placed there, so they have not been touched. Even if he wanted to open a mine on the geopolitical star, he didn't have so much manpower, so Wang Pan never took action. But now this w_ Silver 1 planet is different. There were human beings on top of this, but they were still in a primitive society. In this way, it is not bad news for Wang Pan, if they are also the same as the earth, in a highly developed society or if they are a unified regime, for Wang Pan, it will be much more troublesome, in that case, Wang Panyang wants to open a mine, but it will not be so easy.

It is precisely because they are still in a primitive society, so even if Wang Pan is mining, no one will take care of him, and they don't have the kind of things on their own territory, above and below them. Because they are still struggling every day about how to fill their stomachs.

Wang Pan decided that after he got married, he must go over and talk to those two people named Hua and Xia, it is best to teach them the Long Chinese dialect, thinking that with their strength, it should not be difficult to learn, see if you can cooperate with them at that time and let them help them open their own mines. It's a big deal to optimize their seeds for them, so that they can at least grow enough food for them to eat.

In fact, if Wang Pan wants to develop his own power quickly, it is best to choose his base camp on the planet w_ Silver 1, after all, those people are still in a primitive society, if Wang Pan wants to recover them, it will be much simpler, as long as Wang Pan brings them enough food for them, I am afraid that they will be stored like gods. But the main thing is that the planet is too close to the earth, Wang Pan thought about it and gave up. Anyway, he now has a geo-star. It would be good to catch some more people when the time comes, although it will be a little troublesome, but Wang Pan doesn't care. At most, it is a few more trips in the spaceship.

And there is another reason, that is, he found that this w_ Silver 1 planet has some similarities with the earth, especially when he knew that the names of those two leaders were actually Hua and Xia. Wang Pan couldn't do anything to them. He was ready to help them well, the hundred years of humiliation endured by the Dragon Kingdom on Earth, Wang Pan didn't want it to happen again on this planet. Therefore, Wang Pan was thinking about helping these two tribes to unite and form a country first, and he would be the head of state. You can let the two of them take turns to sit, which can also reduce some of their contradictions, and if you add the support of Wang Pan's high-yield seeds, Wang Pan believes that they can unify the world. That's just around the corner.

Of course, this is just a little bit of caution on the part of Wang Pan, which may also be why he is not worth it as a person from the Dragon Kingdom in the past hundred years, especially when Wang Pan found some people and blacks in other places on the planet w_ Silver 1, Wang Pan's idea was even more enthusiastic.

Of course. This qiē is only stored in Wang Pan's thoughts, as for really doing it. It's not something that can be done in a moment. After all, even if they are to unify the world, it is not so easy. They all have great characters, but don't they have some other places? This Wang Pan can't be sure, so Wang Pan is also helping himself when he helps Hua and Xia. When the time comes, it would be nice for them to sell the captives to themselves, for even if they take them back themselves, they will only be slaves, and slaves can be sold as goods by themselves.

In this way, it can also save Wang Pan a lot of effort, after all, when he catches it himself, maybe he really meets those powerful characters, in that case, it is easy to have an accident. It's better to hide behind himself to be safe, and when the time comes, he only needs to pay some high-yield seeds to get it back.

What they saw today had a great impact on Wang Ping. They live in this era of peace, and war is a very distant thing for them, but they didn't expect that today they would see such a scene like a human region, and the excitement at the beginning was suddenly gone. Especially when they saw those powerful people fighting, they realized that even if they became stronger, they were still very weak. It's also strange that they have always come to target the earth, then they will never know how big this universe is, how many powerful people in the universe are, and their strength to dominate the earth like this is actually only the bottom in the universe.

I didn't see it, now that Wang Pan is looking for a planet at random, are the people on it so powerful, so what will some more powerful planets look like? This is a question that is worth thinking about at that time.

The news that Wang Pan is going to get married, so far few people know, Wang Pan doesn't want to tell too many people for the time being, after all, the place where they hold their wedding is too special, but not everyone has the opportunity to go, and Wang Pan and others are also ready to be simple in this real wedding, so that the families of both parties can be together and be a witness.

On this day, on the planet, the palace was hung with red cloth, red lanterns, and red characters, in short, the whole castle was dressed up in red today, as if only in this way could it show the joy of coming. The wedding of Wang Pan, Lin Lei and Yang Yun was in the form of an ancient wedding in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Five Rites General Examination" once said that since the Later Qi Dynasty, regardless of the Son of Heaven and the common people, the wedding "one is Nacai, the second is Xiangming, the third is Naji, the fourth is Nazheng, the fifth is the invitation period, and the sixth is the personal welcome." ”

These are the six stages of ancient weddings, commonly known as the "Six Rites".

1. Nacai: This is the first stage of marriage proposal, after the man asks the matchmaker to propose, the woman agrees to propose marriage, and the man prepares a gift to go to the woman's house to propose, the gift is a goose, and the goose will live. Why use geese? The goose is a migratory bird, taking the symbol of yin and yang, and later developing a new idea, saying that the goose loses its mate, and will no longer be a pair for life, and takes its loyalty.

2. Asking for a name: After the marriage proposal, the matchmaker asks the woman for the date of birth and her name to prepare for the marriage ceremony.

3. Najib: It is a ritual to inform the woman of the good news of divination and marriage after asking the name, also known as "engagement". This is the main etiquette at the stage of engagement. In ancient customs, geese should be used as a token of the marriage. Later, it developed into rings, jewelry, colored silk, gift cakes, gift incense candles, and even sheep and pigs, etc., so it is also called sending or hiring.

Fourth, the recruitment: After the engagement, the man's family will send the dowry to the woman's family, which is the etiquette at the stage of marriage. This wedding is also commonly known as a complete or big engagement, a big gift, etc. Later, the ceremony also adopted the practice of returning the gift, returning part or all of the food in the dowry; Or after being hired, the woman will give the man a hat, shoes and socks as a return gift. The number of dowry gifts and the name of the item are mostly auspicious, and the number is taken as a double taboo.

5. Invitation period: After giving the dowry, choose the wedding date, prepare the gift to the woman's house, and ask for the consent of the ceremony. The ancient custom is to use geese as usual, the gifts are generally simple, and the invitation ceremony is often combined with the dowry ceremony, and the wedding date is determined at the same time as the big gift.

Sixth, the welcome: is the ceremony of the new son-in-law to the woman's house to welcome the party. This ritual is often seen as the main procedure of the wedding, while the first five are used as transitional rites such as marriage and engagement. Some of these forms are due to the needs of social relations, such as the "makeup" of the woman's house, the "opening of the house" and the "hole room" when going to the man's house, etc., which are all rituals to establish social relations. Purely the ceremony of welcoming the part, generally with a sedan chair, divided into double or single top, the "send the sister-in-law" of the sedan chair to help the bridegroom to the woman's house, and the "welcome guest" who accompanies the groom to the woman's house to pick up the person, all have their own requirements, get up the sedan chair, return to the horse, welcome the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair, worship the heaven and earth, perform the celebration ceremony, enter the cave room, each process has several to more than a dozen forms, most of them express the blessing of good luck to drive away evil spirits. The season of pro-welcome, generally selected in the spring, the state to agriculture, coincide with the agricultural leisure, the harvest is the right match. After the "six ceremonies" of marriage, the transition period begins, and the bride returns to her parents' home to "return to Ning" until the bride enters the childbearing period, and the second generation performs the birth ceremony. Since then, the wedding is only used as a family anniversary, according to the anniversary celebration (a full "sixtieth" held in Chongqing congratulatory ceremony, called bigamy wine), every year to celebrate, until the end of the year.

This ancient marriage process is a bit different from the modern meaning. The modern marriage process generally refers to the etiquette held on the wedding day, while the marriage process of the Three Books and Six Rites includes the documents and etiquette from the negotiation of marriage, engagement to marriage. Similar to modern times, the whole traditional marriage custom and etiquette notified relatives and neighbors in order to obtain social recognition and protection. In addition, traditional marriage customs and rituals enable married couples to obtain the approval of ancestral gods and undertake to fulfill their rights and obligations to their parents and relatives. Therefore, in some ancient times, if a man and a woman did not complete the process of the Three Books and Six Rites, the marriage was not recognized as a marriage of the Ming Family; The completeness of the wedding ceremony directly affects the auspiciousness of the marriage. However, in different Dragon dynasties, marriage customs and etiquette also differed.

Of course, when it comes to Wang Pan, Wang Pan just likes the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, so he will hold a wedding like the Dragon Kingdom. (To be continued)
