Chapter 12 The Flag is not rolled up to the twentieth section of Chinese New Year's Eve. Jinyang City is wrapped in silver makeup, and the sound of firecrackers is very lively.

After more than 20 years of construction, the scale of this big northern city has been very large, there are hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, businessmen are gathered, the buildings are connected, the pedestrians are like weaving, the cars and horses are like dragons, and the momentum is magnificent.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is a day for family reunions, but this year the situation is special, and many bureaucrats and soldiers have braved the cold to come from all over the country to participate in the New Year's ceremony and the wedding of the eldest princess, and cannot reunite with their families.

For this reason, the eldest princess specially ordered to hold a grand banquet in Jinyang Palace to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with her courtiers. The Chinese New Year's Eve meal should be eaten slowly, from dusk until late at night, also called the New Year's Eve Meal.

Keeping the New Year is not only a nostalgia for the past years, but also a good hope for the new year. After dark, Jinyang Palace was bright, and nine bonfires were lit on the square of the front hall, and the raging flames lit up the night sky.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the bell rings, the feast begins, the music of food is played at the same time, and the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious and beautiful.

Sitting in the palatial hall, listening to elegant music, and looking at the delicacies on the dining table, Kirby Bear was a little dizzy.

It was the first time for him to participate in this kind of palace feast, and the luxurious scene made him very nervous while curious, worried that he would be laughed at because he did not understand etiquette, lose the face of Xianbei people, and embarrass the general.

Feng Xue had already taken this into account, and she and Li Hong couldn't sit with him because of their identities, so they specially arranged for Yan Wuxing, the general of the auxiliary country, to sit next to him and take care of him properly.

Yan Wuxing saw that Kirby Xiong was cramped and uneasy, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and whispered in Xianbei words: "In Dahan, there are many dietary etiquette, especially on this occasion, the etiquette regulations are stricter, and there can be no slightest transgression. Generally speaking, the Son of Heaven tastes food and drink on his behalf, and then raises his chopsticks to taste. When the Son of Heaven began to eat, the ministers could start eating, and before the Son of Heaven did not eat the staple food, the ministers could not advance the staple food, but could only sip and wait. When the emperor invited his ministers to serve the dishes, the ministers first tasted a little of each dish on the table, and then chose the food according to their own preferences. If you want to eat something far away, you have to start from close first, otherwise you will be gluttonous. Kirby Kumama wanted to get the chopsticks on the table, but when he heard this, he hurriedly retracted his hand.

At this moment, the eldest princess who was seated was talking to the Marquis who was sitting in the first seat on the right, and a food slaughter was kneeling on the side of the dining table to taste the food, and he had not yet started to eat.

"What else should I pay attention to?" Kirby Bear smiled awkwardly and asked embarrassedly. Yan Wuxing pointed to the food table in front of him,

"There is a lot of attention to the number of dishes on the food table. The Son of Heaven's dining table is twenty-six dishes. There are sixteen dishes on the dining table of the liehou and prime minister who are relatives outside the clan, and twelve dishes on the dining table of ordinary liehous, three dukes, generals, and Jiuqing ministers. The food table of the ministers with a rank of 2,000 stone and 2,000 stone is eight dishes, while the ministers with a rank of 1,000 stone or less can only enjoy the gift of six dishes. Kirby Bear quickly glanced at the plate on the table.

Deep-fried swan, braised pheasant, braised chicken with sweat oil, braised soft-shelled turtle, lamb in the hanging oven, Ma Xiang (a special dish made of verbena meat), Jiao Arm Yong Breast (Jiao Jiao, donkey jerky and dog meat), Lamb (胹, boiled lamb meat), iron grilled fat goose with fresh and greasy sour pulp, beef hamstring with butter soft and fragrant, dog and pork leek eggs (stewed pork with wolfberry), Lamb Pickled Chicken Han (a combination of pickled mutton and cold sauce chicken).

On the small table on the left hand side are bean dumplings (sweet foods such as syrup bean paste), sticky and crispy honey pies, as well as staple foods such as rice, millet, wheat and yellow sorghum.

On the small table on the right-hand side are jade-colored fruit pulp, wild goose soup (鷇膹, stewed tender finch with soup), wild goose meat soup and glutinous rice wine.

This rice wine is clear and yellow, mellow and cool, and makes people salivate.

"How can there be so many?" Kirby Bear asked, confused.

"Staple foods, desserts, soups, and sake syrups don't count." Yan Wuxing smiled,

"You are the king of Xianbei in the east, and you are the same as Zhuqing, so there are twelve dishes on the dining table."

"Can you finish this?" Kirby Bear couldn't help but exclaim under his breath. Although he is a tribal king in the desert, his life is not so luxurious.

Yan Wuxing was startled, and looked around, for fear that others would hear it,

"You must not eat it all, there are many dishes and soup in the back."

"And?" Kirby Bear's eyes widened in disbelief.

"There are nine dishes, each of which is twelve plates, and desserts, soups, and wines are constantly being replaced. You can stop tasting it, even if it is delicious, you have to endure it, so as not to fill it up early, you can only watch, you can't eat it, and it makes people laugh. Kirby Bear was impressed.

The big man is the big man, a big country, and even the meals are so luxurious and extravagant, which is breathtaking.

"There are rules when it comes to eating." Yan Wudaunt continued,

"Eat millet rice with your hands instead of chopsticks, don't rub rice with your hands, don't end up with rice, don't make soup all over the table, don't eat with a sound sound, don't gnaw bones, don't put bitten fish back on the fish plate, don't eat just one dish, don't pick vegetables over and over again, don't gulp soup, don't stir up soup, don't drink salted meat sauce, don't pick your teeth in public, don't talk loudly, don't drink excessively...... The handle of the spoon should be facing south, wet meat should be bitten with teeth, dry meat should be chopped by hand, and roast meat should not be chewed too much at once...... "Kirby Bear almost fainted.

The Han is a state of etiquette, but there are too many rules. Yan Wuxing was very serious, lowered his voice and talked endlessly, but Kirby Bear couldn't listen anymore, he said with a sad face: "Can I go out and breathe......"

"Can't ......," Yan Wudaunt said categorically,

"When you are drinking and feasting, you must not leave the table without permission, let alone leave without a reason." While the two were talking, the Confessor stood up and shouted, "Your Highness sacrifices ......"

"Kneel, kneel...... Your Highness is about to speak...... "Yan Wuxing pulled Kirby Bear by the hand, and the two of them faced north and knelt down.

The eldest princess said a few words of blessing, and then bowed and invited the ministers to return to the table. The confessor called again: "The ministers sacrifice ......" and the ministers returned the salute.

Prime Minister Li Wei, on behalf of the hundred officials, thanked the Son of Heaven and His Royal Highness for their friendship and bowed to invite His Highness to sit at the table. The two sides conceded.

The eldest princess sat down first, raised her chopsticks to taste, and then invited the ministers to use the dishes. Yan Wuxing picked up the chopsticks and saw that Kirby Bear was still looking left and right, and hurriedly coughed.

Kirby Bear reacted at this time, and then carefully picked up the chopsticks. Although he was hungry, he still endured it and ordered it on each dish with trepidation.

Kirby Bear sighed secretly, this meal is really unpalatable, worse than being tortured. Before he could take a few bites, Yan Wuxing coughed again.

Thinking that he had been rude, Kirby Bear was so frightened that he hurriedly put down his chopsticks.

"Brother, the feast has been going on for more than two hours, and you will have your stomach full of food if you eat like this." Yan Wuxing said with a smile,

"Taste it, taste it......" Kirby Bear looked left and right, and sure enough, everyone put down their chopsticks and was looking at a group of gorgeous maiko in the center of the hall with great interest.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancers held amphorae drums, joined the music, beat the drums, and sang and danced lightly.

"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus - Yan @ Mo # Xuan ¥ small & said - long, the famous gate valve famous for scriptures. The Fu family is still "Poetry, there is."

The reputation of "Fu's Studies", a school has produced 12 doctors of scripture, which can be described as a wealth of talents. It is rumored that the Fu family is a descendant of Fuxi, and the ancestor Fu Sheng is a doctor of the Great Qin Dynasty, which is the famous Jinan Fusheng in history.

During the time of Emperor Xiaowu, Fu Ruke awarded Dongwu. Later, there was Fu Li as a famous Confucian in the world, and he was awarded filial piety to the emperor with "poems", and he was the master of Gaomi.

Fu Li's son Fu Zhan inherited his father's shadow, made up for the doctor's disciple, Wang Mang was embroidered to enforce the law, Liu Xuan entered the pass to worship him as the plain Taishou, Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, heard the name of Fu Zhan, worshiped for the Shang Shu Order, revised the old system, and then worshiped the three public lines of the Great Situ.

After Fu Zhan, there were his younger brother Fu Di, his younger brother's son Fu Gong and his fourth grandson Fu Chen, the fifth grandson Fu Wuji and others were famous all over the world, among which Fu Gong was an official to Sikong.

Fu Wan is Fu Wuji's grandson. Fu Chen married Princess Gaoping, and her granddaughter was a noble person who was filial to the emperor. Fu Wan married the eldest princess of Yang'an, and Fu Wan's daughter is the queen of Emperor Xiaoxian, so the Fu family is a relative of the emperor for generations.

Looking at today, there are very few high-ranking families left that have been inherited for 400 years, and the Fu family is the most prominent representative of them.

Fujia is the Dongwu people of Langya Kingdom in Xuzhou, and the Qingyanxu area centered on Langya Country is the gathering place of the scholarly family, this place has appeared in the past, present and future There are many prominent gates, Langya is famous in the annals of history.

Since Master Zheng Xuan arrived in Hebei, the strength of the Qing Yanshi has increased dramatically, and there are great Confucians headed by Cai Yong, Zhang Miao, and Kong Rong in the court, and famous scholars led by Zang Ba and You Heng in the state and county, and there are more Confucians such as Zheng Xuan and Fu Wan inside and outside the court, so the Qing Yanshi people easily controlled the government.

Four years ago, the Chang'an military admonition was that the court forces led by the Northern Xinjiang Department joined forces to deal a heavy blow to the Qing Yan people and drive the Qing Yan forces out of the court.

However, the strength of the Qing Yanshi people is still very large, especially after the hussar general Zhao Yun took charge of the country this time, the Qing Yanshi people have re-entered the court and have a great tendency to make a comeback.

After the death of Master Zheng Xuan, the greatest support of the Qing Yanshi people was to wait for them to end.

"Fu's Studies" has been inherited for more than 400 years, and there is a difference in that it has always maintained the essence of orthodox Confucianism.

Fu's learning starts from Fusheng. Fu Sheng lived a long life, died in the third year of Emperor Xiaowen (11 BC), at the age of 99, and had thousands of disciples.

Emperor Xiaowen was in order to seek the "Book of Shang", and he sent the history of Taichang Shi to seek advice, and obtained 29 pieces of "Book of Shang", which have been handed down to this day.

Fu Sheng wrote "The Great Biography of Shangshu" and was the founder of the scripture school. Later generations greatly admired and worshipped.

Fu's scriptures were far earlier than Dong Zhongshu's neo-Confucianism, and after Emperor Xiaowu exalted Confucianism, although Fu's scriptures had to study Wei Wei for the sake of his career, he did not succumb to Dong Zhongshu's neo-Confucianism, and still firmly adhered to his orthodox Confucian status.

Therefore, when Yangxiong advocated the reform of Confucianism and the revival of orthodox Confucianism, the Fu family strongly supported it and waved its flag.

When Liu Xiang and Liu Xin father and son launched the study of ancient scriptures, the Fu family did not hesitate to support it.

When Fu Zhan was appointed as the Guangwu Emperor Shangshu Ling and was ordered to rebuild the old system, the Fu family also lost no time in proposing the establishment of a doctor of ancient literature and classics in an attempt to improve Confucianism.

Fu Shi Xue has always wanted to revive orthodox Confucianism, which is the greatest wish of the Confucian scholars of the Fu family. Therefore, when Fu Wan heard that Zhang Yan, Xiang Kai, Xu Shao and others were talking about aiding Confucianism in Jinyang, he immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revive orthodox Confucianism, so he immediately let his son Fu Dian rush to Jinyang day and night to participate in the debate on Hanging Urn Mountain, which was about to shake the world.

To his surprise, not long after Fu Dian left Chang'an, the eldest princess's letter arrived. He can therefore leave Chang'an justifiably and can participate without affecting Chang'an

Discussion on "aiding the Tao and entering Confucianism". In the past two days, he had a careful discussion with Xiangkai, Xu Shao, Wang Jian, Wang Zhen and other Taoist masters in Hanging Urn Mountain, and basically agreed with the proposal of the two masters

The idea of "taking the strengths of Taoism to make up for the shortcomings of scriptures, reviving orthodox Confucianism, and reconstructing Taoist doctrines". But there is a key problem here, that is, after the revival of orthodox Confucianism, that is, Neo-Confucianism, it will have to have a fierce conflict with the three schools of today's New Confucianism, the modern and ancient classics, and the Taoist school, which has the potential to make a comeback.

After Fu Wan, he pulled Li Wei to his side and sat down, and after chatting a few words, he suddenly asked, "Zhong Yuan, what do you want to get when you come to Jinyang at this time?" Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration was solved, and the problem that plagued him was solved.

There is a providence in the dark, and the bloody killings of the past seem to be for today, in order to give birth to a new Confucianism, and to create a new overall situation of Zhongxing.

The smile on Li Wei's face gradually melted,

"Our purpose is the same." After Fu was finished, he was stunned, he stroked his white beard, looked at Li Wei with both eyes, and muttered for a long time,

"Do you have that determination?" Li Wei raised his finger to the sky and smiled indifferently,

"Heaven and earth are a mirror." The following does not count the number of words. The name of Xianghege was first seen in the Han Dynasty, and it is a musical form formed by inheriting the traditions of pre-Qin Chusheng and other traditions on the basis of the folk songs of the street Mo ballad, and its characteristics are

"Silk and bamboo are more harmonious, and the performer sings", that is, the singer beats the drum and the accompanying orchestral instrument in harmony, and hence the name.

It is mainly played on occasions such as banquets and entertainment of eunuchs and magnates, and is also used in court meetings, worship gods and even folk customs activities.

In the process of development, Xianghe Song was gradually combined with dance, and became a large-scale performance form with instrumental music, singing and dancing, which was called Daqu or Xianghe Daqu, which could best reflect the level of art at that time.

Han Dynasty acrobatics. In the Han Dynasty, there were two types of music and dance, namely Yale dance and acrobatic dance. Yale dance is mainly used in solemn occasions such as suburban temples and pilgrimage feasts, such as the Bayu dance and the Lingxing belt dance.

Acrobatic dance is generally used at banquets, and it often originates from folk dances, and has been processed and created by court musicians to become a dance form that celebrates the virtues of the ruling class.

Its style is more elegant, but it also has an entertaining side. The miscellaneous dances of the Han Dynasty mainly include the Dang Dance, the Duo Dance, the Towel Dance, the Whisk Dance, and the Sword Dance.

The dance takes its name from the dancing equipment held by the dancer, the drum. The sheath is a small, flat drum with a handle. Jump to
