Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Idea of Ritual Making
Zhao Wei, who was sitting on the ground, took out his own kettle with a dry mouth. The pen %fun %pavilion poured www.biquge.info into his mouth, but unfortunately there was not even a drop of water. So he tossed the kettle aside. When Qian Yuanzhang saw it, he walked over and handed over his kettle.
Zhao Wei was not hypocritical, and took the kettle directly. As soon as he got his hands on it, Zhao Wei was very surprised, because the water in the kettle was actually full! Zhao Wei looked at Qian Yuanzhang puzzled.
Qian Yuanzhang said: "Wang, I know that you are very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. So I didn't drink the boiled water all the way. What we drink is the landscape, and we are used to drinking the landscape! ”
Zhao Wei suddenly understood, no wonder there was always a person leaving the team on the way here, it turned out that he was going to drink water. Well, all the kettles are full, except for the one of their own. Zhao Wei really didn't know how to be happy or moved.
"Thank you!" In the end, Zhao Wei could only say these two words. Then he drank it heartily. "With your pot of water, I'm enough, you better tell them to drink their own kettle, I've been doing it for so long, and I'm very thirsty when I think about it. I don't see any water around this place. ”
"Okay!" Qian Yuanzhang turned around and told his subordinates exactly what he said.
Sure enough, everyone immediately untied the kettle and began to drink. Looking at this scene, Zhao Wei's heart suddenly had a hint of complexity. I usually divide the grades intentionally or unintentionally, the name is like this, the bed is like this, and even the identity brand is like this. Is this a bit cruel to them, after all, before they came, they were all so simple, no, and now they are also very simple. Just learned what envy is.
And for themselves, everyone is respectful. Zhao Wei understood that he had given them the object of envy. Under the influence of their parents, a group of little children have developed a worship for themselves. Even a few children learn their own every move. How to fully interpret what to do, what is called good at the top, and what must be followed! And the most famous example of this is that the king of Chu has a thin waist and starves to death in the palace.
So what they are doing now is not a bad thing, it should be to help them in advance, although they will lose equality in the future, but what they can get is three full meals a day, cold and warm, and life can be extended. In addition to this, their descendants are also able to lead the way in this world. To put it mildly, it can be called winning at the starting line. For these things, it is definitely worth paying a little bit of such a price.
However, such things can't be left unchecked, and Zhao Wei feels that he should write a book as a rule. Otherwise, if we don't give the right guidance, the consequences are likely to be dire. Thinking of this, Zhao Wei thought of the Zhou metric system again. Zhao Wei basically didn't know about that period of history, but it didn't prevent it from being understood literally. There is no need to make music, and it is still necessary to make rituals. Zhao Wei's plan is to copy the content of the ceremony. If you can, you can still become the founder of Confucianism, and your students will be the disciples of the Son of Heaven.
However, there are some contents of the ceremony, and Zhao Wei has new ideas now. For example, when it comes to clothing, what impressed Zhao Wei the most was that he divided people into farmers, farmers and merchants, and then workers and merchants could not wear silk satin, only scholars and farmers could wear silk and satin. But the problem is that the vast majority of peasants cannot afford to wear it, and in fact, only scholars can wear it. And when the law was strict, merchants only dared to wear it secretly at home. When the law is lax, the rule is useless. Therefore, in Zhao Wei's mind, people should not be divided by people's occupations. As for how to divide it in the other world, Zhao Wei hasn't thought about it yet. But the people who are in the cave today must be the ones who are in the highest gear. But no matter how it is divided, the limitation of clothing materials is not in line with the economy. In Zhao Wei's mind, as long as you can afford it, you can wear it.
In ancient China, it was forbidden for people to wear silk and satin at the beginning. The first is to show the royal style, and the second is that it is not easy to weave silk and satin. You can't waste a lot of labor just to wear it. Later, the handicraft industry developed a little, and silk and silk began to spread, but in order not to open up extravagance, it was still banned. Later, when it was forbidden to do so, scholars and people were allowed to wear it. Here, the scholars are the ruling class, and the common people are poor. is almost a colleague from the same unit as the emperor, and the other is the most loyal customer of this unit without money. And the businessman is the most careful guest of this unit, and sometimes he goes along with something. So for businessmen, the emperor naturally did not give a good look. As for the craftsmen, it is a very, very small customer of this unit, so it is basically ignored.
