About the etiquette in "The Scholars of the Great Ming".
This book is basically a bow, a bow, and no bowing, except in specific circumstances.
In the Ming Dynasty, light salutes were basically bowed hands, and heavy salutes showed respect, and only then did they bend down and bow. It is said that after the Song Dynasty and China, after the Ming Dynasty there was no China, this is true, the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty bowed down to the majority, and the Han people were slaves!
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the Han people still adhered to the customs of the Yuan Dynasty, and the subordinates reported to their superiors that they knelt down as a ceremony, and in the fourth year of Hongwu, in view of the fact that "the military and the people salute, still follow the customs, drink banquets and wine, and mostly kneel and worship as a salute", Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict stipulating that the officials and the people can bow down.
The so-called bow is to bow hands, also called bow hands.
It can be seen from this etiquette that the Ming Dynasty's superior and subordinate officials did not need to kneel when they met, which directly broke the official etiquette system of the Yuan Dynasty. For example, when the seven-rank county order and the first-rank official meet, they only need to bow to each other, and they don't have to kneel.
In the Ming Dynasty, even if the grass people saw officials, they did not need to kneel, they only needed to bow their hands, unless they were criminals, and they needed to kneel on the "mirror hanging" law hall.
Before the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette system of Chinese officialdom was not kneeling as a courtesy, and the ancients had "kneeling and sitting", but it was by no means kneeling. Kneeling is also called sitting upright, sitting on the ground, with the buttocks on the ankles, the upper body straight, the hands on the knees in a regular manner, the body temperament is dignified, and the eyes do not squint.
After the Qing army entered the customs, the Manchu authorities thought that I was the conqueror, and the Han people must bow down before me. Therefore, the Han people who did not need to kneel have been required to kneel since then, civilians kneel officials, subordinates kneel to superiors, ministers kneel to the emperor, in many TV dramas, there are many officials who use cloth as cushions to cushion their knees to reduce the pain of kneeling.
During the Qing Dynasty, there seemed to be only one etiquette left for the Han people, that is, kneeling, even to the point of kneeling everywhere.
The biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is that the Han people were free in mind during the Ming Dynasty, and the Han people were slaves in the Qing Dynasty, and the word "slave" also came from the Qing Dynasty and had a far-reaching impact on the Han nation.
Chengbei has never liked the Qing Dynasty, and there is no concept of the Yuan Dynasty in his eyes, this book is set up: the Han people are not slaves!
