Chapter 1019 Tang People's Demeanor (Medium)

Zhao Xing secretly calculated to himself: It should be a fleet of such a scale to transport 500,000 catties of Liuhuang.

These liuhuang would greatly enhance the Song army's ability to resist aggression. Thinking of this, he was excited, and wanted to cheer with the people on the shore, but he opened his mouth, and after all, he could not break the psychological barrier.

Faintly, he asked himself: Should I condemn the Song Dynasty for the firm support of the Song Dynasty because of the ferocity of the modern Japanese?

Which country do I stand on to condemn?

There are never permanent friends between countries...... However, should I blame him for his future evil deeds—to hate his unsparing help to the Song Dynasty now?

Where do I stand against hatred? Mongol? Golden people? Liao?

……

With the help of the remnants of the huge fleet of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xing, a "Song man", was warmly welcomed when he arrived in Japan. Immediately afterward, the news was sent out without a while, and several fast horses immediately rushed to Nagato...... A few days later, Zhao Xing was sitting in a monastery in Japan.

This is a tea pavilion in the temple, Zhao Xing is sitting on the wooden floor according to Tang custom, and a monk is sitting in front of him and is doing a tea ceremony. Zhao Xing sat in the guest seat, and on the main seat sat a high-ranking official wearing a pointed hat, opposite Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing bowed his head, and sat full of Japanese high-ranking officials who were smeared with **** on their faces, shaved their eyebrows, and painted their eyebrows according to the customs of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Now, Japan is in the era of the Taira Genji, and the characteristic of court life in this era is "elegant and ****" - the first Japanese high-ranking official holds the famous work "The Tale of Genji" that describes this era.

The Tale of Genji was written by the court lady Murasaki Shikibu, a novel describing the life of the Japanese court, and it was the first novel in the world, this novel was about love, and by the way, it showed the elegant and lewd lifestyle of the Japanese court.

At this time, Japan had just begun to be feudalized, and the Japanese emperor was vastly dividing the small lords in the country, and the main life of the small lords was to drink Tang tea and watch Tang paintings...... plus reciting Su Dongpo's poems.

The monk sitting in the middle of the table has completed the whole set of tea art, Zhao Xing is silent on the surface, and secretly pouts: The technique is not as good as my Azhu.

This is a Chinese monk from Fujian, and he and Zhao Xing have no language barrier, so they have become Zhao Xing's tour guide and introducer in the past few days. He also started this tea party. He had introduced Zhao Xing to the high-ranking officials sitting in the first seat, but Zhao Xing was not interested in his name - he was only interested in his wallet.

Zhao Xing didn't know that all the people here were famous figures in Japan. In ancient Japan, the most striking feature was the hereditary nature of learning, which became a hereditary occupation of a certain family and was combined with the gate valve. Sitting in the first seat is Sugawara-sama, he and the Oe family control the Chinese literature, that is, the article - Sugawara ancestor wrote a famous sentence: "The hoof hurts the horse and sends it, and the boat at the end of the river is damaged", "The post chief is not surprised by the change of the time sequence, and a glory and a fall are spring and autumn." ”

The first attendants in the hall are the Qingyuan and Zhongyuan two clans who control the knowledge of the Ming Jing and Taoism; Ming Fadao controls Sakagami and the Central Plains sit opposite; The Tao of Calculation is the Three Good Clan, and the Yin and Yang Dao is He Mao and the **** Second Clan; The way of medicine is hereditary from the two clans of Waki and Tanba - these people are present today.

The monk served the tea, the bowl on the pattern to the guests, the Japanese "Yashi" here are like the Tang Dynasty, take the tea bowl with both hands, gently turn the two sides, the bowl on the pattern to the tea offerer, and the tea bowl to the forehead, to show the return of the gift. Then he picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea with an intoxicated face.

I don't know how many people are pretending at all, of course, those who are pretending also include Zhao Xing. He just wanted to sneeze at the fragrant tea soup. However, the scene was so sacred that he endured and endured it, and held back that sneeze.

The tea soup should be drunk in three times, that is, "three turns of the tea bowl to suck slowly". When drinking tea, the mouth should squeak to show appreciation and praise. After drinking, the guests have to say some auspicious words. In particular, we should praise the hospitality of the hosts, the exquisiteness of the tea sets, and the elegance of the environment.

As soon as the people present took a shallow sip of the hot tea soup, under the corridor, the Japanese single string buzzed twice, and the sound was like who was playing cotton under the corridor. When all the high-ranking Japanese officials heard this string, they immediately put the teacup beside them, and knelt in place with their five bodies on the ground, but Zhao Xing was holding the teacup, his eyes shaking around.

This monochord is a type of Japanese gagaku that is said to have been introduced from the Korean Peninsula, and includes titles such as "Shin Yaga" and "Dai Yaga". Japan's "Rojialu? In the article "Ben Bang Le" (Volume 31), it is recorded: The song of the country of the people of the 靺鞨 is also. The dancers come from China and dance for worship.

Because this kind of music is so popular with the Japanese minister, it has become a Japanese custom to announce the arrival of nobles with strings, and it can still be seen in high-end Japanese restaurants in modern times.

The Japanese pavilion is surrounded by sliding doors, through the open door, Zhao Xing saw a Japanese woman walking from afar, she was dressed very gorgeously, her clothes were painted with birds, tree patterns, the long skirt tail dragged on the ground, stretching for four or five meters, in front of her, it was also adorned with all kinds of rings like the Song people, she took small broken steps like the Song people, dragging the long skirt tail, the skirt tail folds layer upon layer, like a feather covering the body and tail.

In such a dress, she couldn't use small steps, so she had to stop one step at a time and walk here.

This skirt is called "Bird Feather Skirt", and the Song people can only see this style of the Tang Dynasty from the "Hairpin Lady". However, the Song people also left behind the habit of liking mopping skirts, and the Song people called similar mopping skirts "catching up skirts".

Passing a bend, the woman stopped, and then she turned stiffly like a soldier in a barracks making a left turn. After turning the direction, she didn't continue to walk, just stopped there.

Immediately, six maids jumped out behind her, and they skillfully picked up the tail of the noblewoman's skirt that she had dragged on the ground, quickly adjusted the direction, and arranged the skirt tail to match the direction she was traveling, and then the woman continued to walk.

PS: It's just a novel, please adjust the reader's mentality. I'm a staunch nationalist and hesitate to talk about this contemporaneous history of the neighboring countries, but I think it gives readers a broader understanding of the era.

Looking at the diplomacy of the Song Dynasty from a modern perspective may be very unsatisfactory, but I implore all readers to look at the diplomacy of the Song Dynasty with the hearts of the Song people, and please be more calm - I believe this sentence: do not avoid history, otherwise, you must lie to the people.

Once again, I implore the reader to look at the surrounding countries of the Song with the mentality of the Song. Come on for Zhao Xing, vote!
