Chapter 992: The Foundation of Great Wu Wanshi
In the end, Qingji temporarily dismissed the idea of digging the Grand Canal. It's the same as the genre says. The world is initially decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and Qingji cannot ignore the people of the world for his own great achievements.
"My lord, this is the style of the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem sent by the scholars. After the scholars voted for the election, the highest number of votes was obtained, and the king was invited to take a look. Wen Chong said, and handed the pre-prepared piece to Qingji to read.
Not only that, but Wen also specially prepared several different national flags and several different national emblems and put them on the table, so that Qingji could make a decision after selecting them one by one.
The national flag, national emblem, and national anthem are basically made by the state to solicit auditions, Jixia School Palace, and folk scholars, and then vote for election.
The national emblem is basically a category of birds and animals, and it is very beautifully carved. Qingji chooses a piece that is pleasing to the eye.
On the national emblem, there is a lifelike dragon and a phoenix, hovering between the floating clouds, stepping on the axe, and the background color is golden.
The rest of the details made Qingji look at it and feel that this national emblem was similar to the national emblem of the Zhonghua Empire established by Yuan Datou in later generations.
There are also many styles of the national anthem, and five were selected. The two preparatory national anthems that made Qingji feel entangled, one is "Da Wu Xiongli Universe", and the other is "Qingyun Song".
"Da Wu stands in the universe, Kuoba, the stomach comes from the top of Kunlun, the rivers and mountains are endless, Xun Hua let go of Yaotian, hundreds of millions of years!"
"The second and third sons think that this song is the national anthem of my Da Wu, how about it?" Faced with Qingji's inquiry, the ministers couldn't help but look at each other and fell into deep thought.
Kong Qiu thought for a moment and raised an objection.
"The king, the minister thinks that although this "Da Wu Xiongli Universe", although it is majestic and has the air of a king, it lacks some charm after all." Kong Qiu frowned and said, "Qingyun Song is different. "Qingyun Song" is said to have retired Emperor Shun's Zen position to Dayu, who has made meritorious contributions to water control, the poems sung by hundreds of officials and Emperor Shun have now undergone some adaptation. ”
"Its language is simple, the sentences are simple, the rhythm is short, bright and fluent, in the form of 'ode', in line with my Great Wu's admiration of virtue and the concept of sage governing the country...... "The clouds are rotten, and the clouds are many."
The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are shining. Obviously going to the sky, rotten stars. The sun and the moon are bright, and they are in one person. The sun and the moon are constant, and the stars are in line.
Four o'clock from the scriptures, the surname Yuncheng. Yu Yu talks about music, with the spirit of heaven. Move to the virtuous sage, don't listen to it. The falcon is like a drum, and it is like dancing.
The essence has been exhausted, and the clothes are gone. This is the adapted "Qingyun Song", which is indeed in line with the popular trend.
Relatively speaking, the song "Da Wu Xiongli Universe" is not neat enough and domineering, but it does not conform to the trend of the times.
"That's fine. From now on, "Qingyun Song" is the national anthem of my Dawu! ”
"No!" Qingji set his eyes on the five different flags that had been taken out on the deck again.
There are fire dragon flags, phoenix flags, five-color flags, and star-striped flags, which are basically the same style as the national emblem.
This made Qingji not very satisfied. It's not that Qingji doesn't look down on birds and animals, but in his opinion, the regulation of the national flag cannot be the same as the national emblem, which is too cumbersome.
"What do the second and third sons think?"
"The king, the minister thinks, this Stars and Stripes ...... Good! Fan Li pointed to the star-striped flag beside Qingji and said, "This flag has an extraordinary meaning. ”
"The five horizontal bars on the flag represent loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, wisdom and faith."
"On one side of the rectangle, there are forty-five stars, representing the forty-five counties of my Great Wu."
"......" Fan Li's statement is fine. However, Qing Ji looked at the Star-Spangled Banner in front of him, and the look on his face was really a little intriguing.
Isn't this much the same as the flag of the modern lighthouse nation? At this time, Bo Yan guessed that Qingji might not be satisfied with the styles of the national flags selected by them, so he stepped forward and said: "My lord, the minister thinks that these national flag styles are not satisfactory. ”
"It's not atmospheric enough, and the meaning is average."
"Like this Star-Spangled Banner, not to mention anything else, the forty-five stars represent the forty-five counties of my Great Wu. However, my Great Wu may not only have forty-five counties in the future, so the meaning of this flag is biased! "It's still Bo Ji who understands Qingji.
Qingji's ambition is high, even if it is to establish a new dynasty, it may not stop the pace of pioneering and enterprising. Even if Qingji did not expand his territory until he died of old age, the successor king would uphold his last wish and devote himself to waging an expansion war abroad......
"What do you think, Bo Yi?"
"The king, since the style of the national flag is required by the king, the meaning is far-reaching, and the people can draw it at will. In the opinion of the minister, you might as well use red as the background color to draw the sun, moon and stars! ”
"Good." Qingji was very satisfied. In fact, for the style of the national flag, Qingji has long been considered. So under the annotation of the ministers, Qingji asked people to bring pen, ink, paper, inkstone, brushes and paints, and did it himself, on the picture scroll, he drew the style of the flag of the Great Wu - crimson as the background color, and the left third is the round sun, the crescent moon, and seven stars surrounding, all of which are golden.
The sun and moon represent the emperor, and the seven stars represent loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, with far-reaching meanings.
"This flag is named 'Sun, Moon and Star Flag', which is the national flag of my Great Wu!"
"No!" …… The time entered the thirty-third year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 481 BC, the first day of the first month.
Qingji held a grand imperial ceremony in Jinling and officially proclaimed the emperor. After the tedious and solemn ceremony was completed, it was announced that Qingji had become the first emperor in Chinese history, the First Emperor.
This year's celebration, at the age of fifty-three, fulfilled his lifelong wish, so that the four seas were subdued, and the world was one.
Qingji was wearing twelve crowns, wearing the imperial costume of the dark red stripes, standing on the altar as high as nine zhang, holding the Longyuan sword in his hand, looking around for a week, looking at hundreds of thousands of subjects, and said loudly: "I am the first emperor, and the future generations will be counted, and the second and third generations will be passed on endlessly!" ”
"I unify the six hes and eight wildernesses, the world is one, build the Great Wall to town the dragon vein of Kyushu, protect my Great Wu, and protect my society!"
"I swear in the name of the First Emperor!"
"I am here, when I defend the territory and open up the territory, sweep away the four razes, and set the foundation of my Great Wu for all generations!"
"If I die, I will also become a dragon soul, and I will never die in China!"
"This oath, the sun and the moon are the proof, the heaven and the earth learn together, and the immortals, devils and gods listen to it!" As soon as the words fell, around the altar, countless Great Wu subjects knelt down and said loudly and fiercely: "Your Majesty ten thousand years!" Great Wu Wannian! ”
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Wu Wannian! The huge sound of the wave rushed to the sky, resounding throughout Jinling, echoing on both sides of the river, enduring!
