Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Winter Solstice Sacrifices

Autumn dew and autumn frost fall, winter snow and snow and winter small and big cold!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancient Chinese sages set out the four solar terms such as mid-spring, midsummer, mid-autumn and midwinter, and in the Warring States Period, there were also eight solar terms names such as the beginning of spring, the spring equinox, the beginning of summer, the summer solstice, the beginning of autumn, the autumn equinox, the beginning of winter, and the winter solstice, which are the most important festivals in the 24 solar terms!

Yaojia went to the prince's mansion today, dressed in a female official uniform, in the cold weather, her outside was a thin layer of gauze, Zhang Xiao, who was lying on the bed, saw this, yawned and said, "Why are you still here today?" ”

Yaojia didn't answer when she heard this, so she knelt down directly on the ground and said, "Please change your clothes with His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhang Xiao flipped naked and pressed the cover under her, as if she was not ready to cooperate with Yaojia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Seeing this, Yaojia stood up and said to the door: "Change clothes for His Royal Highness the Prince!" As soon as Yaojia finished speaking, eight female officials wearing the same clothes as Yaojia walked in outside the door, went directly to the bed, lifted the "bedclothes" wrapped by the prince, and Zhang Xiao appeared naked in front of everyone!

The faces of the female officials did not change color one by one, as if they didn't see it, Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly hugged the quilt, as if to cover the parts of the body, the female officials held the clothes in their hands, and looked carefully to see that it should be a dress for a large occasion!

Zhang Xiao tightly covered the bottom, the top was slippery, and Zhang Xiao's "ah" sneezed out in such weather, Zhang Xiao looked at the confused crowd: "You still don't let me out?" ”

It seems that the matter is urgent and abnormal, Yaojia said directly to the kneeling female officer: "Don't change the prince's clothes yet!" ”

The trend of the world, the vast soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die! Zhang Xiao was forced to change her dress by these eight female officials, and after Zhang Xiao changed it, she saw this red and blue dress, which was not too low!

Zhao Guo was in the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin State took "fire" as the virtue, and Zhao Guo deduced the fire wood virtue of "fire virtue is the mainstay, wood virtue is supplemented, wood helps fire, and fire virtue is fierce", so Zhao Guo's dress also formed red and blue: seven points red, three points blue!

Looking closely, there are a lot of patterns on the dress, Zhang Xiao roughly calculated, there are more than a dozen!

The ornaments and special patterns of the imperial dress have probably been specified since the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor's costume patterns are divided into twelve types. If there are dragon patterns, mountain patterns, Chinese insect patterns, Zongyi patterns, algae patterns, fire patterns, pink rice patterns, black patterns, and black patterns. These patterns will only appear on the clothes of the Son of Heaven. The Lords can only use the patterns below the dragon, and the algae pattern and fire pattern can be used. The doctor's clothing can be covered with pink rice patterns.

In the Warring States Period, the etiquette collapsed, and only the twelve patterns on the clothes of the Son of Heaven could only be used, and the princes also competed to use them, and Zhang Xiao's prince dress was also twelve patterns, and it was only slightly different from the king in the form of the dragon's claws!

After cleaning up, the female officer knelt down and retreated, Yaojia was also ready to retreat when she saw this, Zhang Xiaona could let her go so easily, grabbed her arm with one hand, pulled her closer, and gently picked her chin with her hand and asked with a smile: "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

Yaojia glanced at it, but Zhang Xiao only understood when she said this, and Zhang Xiao was very satisfied with the expression of "oh oh oh", just waiting for her to explain what she had just done!

Who knew that Yaojia then said: "Prince, I only know what you said, after changing your dress, the king ordered you to enter the palace immediately!" For such a reversal of the answer, Zhang Xiao is also rare in this life. Yao Jia saw that he was still being lightly picked up by the prince, and the prince's body seemed to be pressed up, Yao Jia muttered: "Prince, you ......"

Zhang Xiao immediately gave her a "head plum", Yaojia glared at the prince angrily, and seemed to be a little aggrieved, Zhang Xiao was immune to her "Wanhua" expression, and said anxiously: "Let's go, don't you say that my father is still waiting?" ”

Hearing this, Yaojia hurriedly walked out, and when she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was motionless inside, her eyes turned, and she walked back and stood behind Zhang Xiao with interest, Zhang Xiao just shook her head and smiled when she saw Yaojia like this.

"Father, didn't you talk about anything when you came to my house so early?" Zhang Xiao asked several times on the road.

Yaojia covered her ears tightly, shook her head desperately and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I said that the maid doesn't know......

Zhang Xiao crossed the road with Yaojia to ask and answer, and King Zhao, who he had asked several times, was in the apse at the moment, preparing to rush to the direction of the political hall, King Zhao looked at the dress on his body and asked, "Yaojia hasn't come back yet?" ”

Chang Xian hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Although Miss Yaojia has not returned, the other female officials who went with her have already returned!" ”

After King Zhao heard this, he asked Chang Xian to help him go to the political hall!

In the government hall, among the ministers, with the different official ranks, the patterns on the dresses are also very different, with mountains, insects, and fire...... These patterns are algae patterns and fire patterns. The doctor's costume can be added with pink rice pattern!

The day of the winter solstice, also known as 'Yiyangsheng', is an important solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar, and is also a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. The origin of the winter solstice actually came from a national-level capital city plan. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,500 years ago, China had used Tugui to observe the sun and determine the winter solstice, which was the earliest one formulated among the 24 solar terms!

And every time the winter solstice is approaching the end of the year, it is the most important ritual of sacrificing to the sky in the sacrificial rites of the Zhao Kingdom! The ritual of sacrificing to heaven comes from the worship of the gods in ancient times, and the earliest activities of sacrificing heaven and earth can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty that was still in the slave society.

Zhang Xiao hurried to the king of Zhao to arrive in the palace first, and stood beside Pingyuanjun, Pingyuanjun stood on the court with a pale face, his face was in contrast to the festive red on his body!

Zhang Xiao asked in a greeting manner: "Uncle Wang, what's the matter, your face is so pale?" ”

Hearing Zhang Xiao's question, Ping Yuanjun's face turned red, and he said haha: "In the past few days, I haven't rested well!" ”

Zhang Xiao approached and asked, "Uncle Wang, what's the matter with such a grand court?" ”

Zhao Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "Don't you know about today's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony?" Zhang Xiao came to his senses at this time, some of the formal rituals of sacrificing to the sky, he still saw some of the bamboo slips given by the dragon, but he would not bump into them like a blind cat!

At this time, Chang Xian helped King Zhao into everyone's field of vision......
