Chapter 239: National Celebration (6) - The Great Han
Today, Yang Chong wears the traditional Han family dress of the Son of Heaven, wearing a crown and a crown. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is dressed in a crown robe, a dark blouse, a vermilion bottom, and a coat of arms painted on it. Wearing blue and yellow satin boots, he faintly reveals the power of the Son of Heaven.
Although it looks more pleasing to the eye, the process of wearing it is also extremely cumbersome. In order to get this outfit right, it took Yang Chong more than two hours. The whole process he was like a wooden man, at the mercy of the old pedants invited from the Qing Kingdom. He's had enough.
Yu Xuan wears the phoenix crown of the phoenix Yu Fei. The round frame above is decorated with jadeite, and the crown is nine dragons and four phoenixes, twelve trees with large flowers, twelve trees with small flowers, and twelve trees on the temples. Dressed in blue and dark clothes, painted Qu, red, with five colors and twelve colors. Then wear jade leather belts, ribbons, and jade pendants, and the decoration is complex and exquisite.
She wore it twice as long as Yang Chong. Fortunately, she was born as a princess, and she can endure this complicated etiquette. And her mother is a big Chinese family who immigrated to Vietnam from Zhejiang and Fujian in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Therefore, she also carries the gentleness and beauty of the Jiangnan women of the Han family. Compared with the local Vietnamese with dark skin and thick lips, there is a big gap. After wearing the phoenix crown, it also has the momentum of the world.
If you don't say it, no one else can think that she is Vietnamese.
At the beginning, Yang Chong was extremely opposed to dressing up like a big singer. But in this era, the idea of imperial power was very strong. The Chinese of the Ming Dynasty also basically worshipped the Son of Heaven as a god. And this national celebration involves the sacrifice to heaven, and the Son of Heaven must come forward.
Therefore, as the president, Yang Chong inevitably shows people with the clothes of the Son of Heaven. As the first lady, Yu Xuan naturally wore a phoenix crown.
Of course, this is all just to make the ceremony more solemn. It does not mean that the Ming Dynasty will embark on the road of feudal, reconstruction, and restoration. After all, time has proven that the further down the feudal regime, the more it is dead-end.
Behind Yang Chong and Yu Xuan, a large number of courtiers wearing Han court clothes followed step by step. In particular, Mu Chun, Zuo Peng and others are at the forefront, highlighting their status.
In order to reflect the seriousness and solemnity of the celebration, Daming also specially 'invited' a group of old scholars from the Qing Dynasty to guide the etiquette. Although these are pedantic antiques, they are very opposed to the open social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty. But that's in front of ordinary people, pretending to be profound. When Da Ming asked them to do something, they were all very obedient. After all, the life of the Ming Dynasty is better than that of the Qing Kingdom, and the life is much more interesting, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, why can't they get along with themselves?
The Han family dresses of Yang Chong and others are mostly taken from the Zhu Ming Dynasty. However, in order to distinguish the relevance of the Ming Republic and the Zhu Dynasty, the clothing styles of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were added to the Hanfu. There is a significant difference with Zhu's Daming.
At a glance, you can see that the two are different!
At this time, the ancient Chinese ritual music was played in turn. There is the Yellow Emperor's music "Salty Pond", which is painful to the virtue of the gods; The joy of "Cloud Gate", inheriting virtues; Yao Zhile "Big Chapter", widely Shi Dehui; Shun's music "Shao" will carry forward the virtues.
In fact, these scores have been lost for a long time and are now being played. It is all a new piece of music compiled by the Ming Dynasty according to the music of this era and artificially created. It's just a name, and it's the original name of the classical movement. It sounds a lot taller, too.
However, this music is still full of rhythm in the ears, and it has a different meaning.
At that moment, Yang Chong took Yu Xuan's jade hand and spent nearly twenty minutes slowly climbing the ninety-ninth step.
I saw a two-eared bronze dragon pattern tripod standing at the top. It was two feet high and six feet wide. Visually weighs a thousand pounds! Inside, there was an arm-thick incense candle burning, and a little green smoke wafted inside.
After three prostrations, a well-dressed male master of ceremonies cleared his throat and read aloud the prayer that Da Ming had made to heaven.
Just listen: "Weishui is long, Longhan is long." Emperor Xi, born into a chronicle.
The three emperors are crowned, and the first of the five emperors. Great achievements, generations to generation.
The knotted rope is remembered, and the 'eight ropes' are completed. Acting as gossip and opening the sexual spirit.
The calendar is presumptive, and the first day is placed. Eight festivals respectively, the four seasons are suitable.
Teach the people to hunt in the fields and domesticate domestic animals. At first, he made nets and used them for fishing.
Planting mulberry and raising silkworms, there is silk. The benefits of silk are widely covered by saintliness.
With the dragon discipline officer, the division governs. The custom of marrying is to be skinny.
Create the twenty-seven strings of the qin, and 'help come' and 'drive' from generation to generation.
The ancient country of China, the dragon vein is forever inherited. The Ming Dynasty is newly established, and the people are rich and the country is prosperous.
On the occasion of this prosperous era, Braim is auspicious. The sons and daughters of Emperor Xi, carry on the past.
The world is in harmony, and the country is republican. Towering and thriving.
All hearts are one, and blood is long. The Han nation has a brilliant future.
Today's public sacrifice is announced to Emperor Xi. The food is both old, but still feasting. ”。
When a large number of prayers were read, Yang Chong took the prayer written on the cloth with both hands, and his face was solemn. The master of ceremonies on the side immediately brought a candle flame and asked Yang Chong to light it. Then I saw that the prayer burned from slow to fast to ashes under the eyes of all people.
Now, it can be regarded as conveying the will to the heavens.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty announced the establishment of the Han nation to the emperor Fuxi, the ancestor of China, and all living beings in the world.
In particular, it is noted. The Ming Dynasty determined that the Ming Dynasty was a single-ethnic state based on the situation of law. In addition, within the territory of the Ming Kingdom, no ethnic group is recognized or allowed to register. In addition, in the constitution of the Ming Dynasty, people of non-Han nationalities are never allowed to participate in state administrative affairs and manipulate state administrative power.
This point was also regarded as a police training and included in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the South Seas. In order to celebrate the founding of the Han nation, celebrations of different scales were also held in key cities such as Batavia, Johor Bahru and Semarang. It's just that compared with Mingjing, the momentum is not so huge, the ceremony is not so solemn, and there are not so many people.
And the focus is different! Mainly in various key cities, various forms of monuments are built. Like Batavia, in order to commemorate the defeat of the Dutch colonists and the conquest of Java, a monument to the martyrs was specially built. The soldiers of the People's Army who died heroically will be engraved on the monument for future generations to remember.
Anyway, after the migration of the Daming change area, the indigenous people of Java no longer occupy the mainstream. Most of them, like the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, are migrated outsiders. Their descendants, under the teachings of the Ming Dynasty, will recognize this place as their hometown. The heroes who acquired this land must not be forgotten.
Not far from it, there is also a monument to the victims. But it is commemorated the Red Creek Massacre on October 9, 1740. At that time, the Dutch colonists deliberately slaughtered tens of thousands of Chinese near Hongxi. The corpses are all blocking the river. Blood, but also stained the surface of the river red.
After all, the Chinese are part of the Han nation, and it is only natural that the Ming Dynasty should set up a monument to commemorate it. As for the dead Javanese natives, they are not within the scope of Daming's concern. (To be continued.) )
