At lunchtime, the young Ai Dao entered the middle hall and told him that noon had come and he could start the feast.

In front of the door of the dining hall, the host Ai Wo saluted Suo Heng and said: "Bo Zhi has been waiting for a long time, Wo, preparing wine is like a mian, and there is meat like a tomb, and you will prosper together." (Note 1)

When the banquet is attended with the guests, each door should be given to the guests, Ai Wo saluted Suo Heng, as the host thanked Suo Heng for dining in the dining hall, and the etiquette was called "worship to". (Note 2)

"Heng, 俟 (sì) idle, not to live up to the long-term wait." Suo Heng said and Ivo bowed and humbly, there was no cumbersome three and three lets, after one and one let, Ai Wo took the first step, and Suo Heng on the left side then stepped forward with the master.

The Zhou people were hospitable and enjoyed banquets to entertain guests, from the kings and princes of Zhou to the peddlers and women, all of whom set up banquets to go to the banquet with the gift of feasting and drinking. Banquet and drink for the righteousness of the Ming monarch and ministers, the elders and the young, participants need to strictly abide by the rules of etiquette, sit upright, recommend but not eat, and do not drink.

In the north and south of the main hall, the cooking planner (cuà

case. (Note 3)

The indoor seat is the most respectful in the west (facing east), followed by sitting in the north and facing south, and then sitting in the south and facing north, and the east side is the lowest. (Note 4)

The host Ai Wo sits in the east and faces the west to show his humility, and the guest Suo Heng sits in the west and faces the east.

Nothing is found in the Compendium of Heavenly Dao, and it is the highest rule and principle of non-existent and eternal existence on the East Great Gully Continent, whether it is the shape of turtles, dragons, plants and trees, or the changes of human races, beasts and birds, and the charm of mountains and forests.

At the beginning of the ceremony, it begins with eating.

Before the host offers wine, he must go down to the hall to wash the knight to show solemnity and respect. Ai Wo drove the seat to float and hang out of his seat, and in the face of Suo Heng, the young Ai Dao left his seat and walked with him.

Seeing that the master Aiwo left his position and wanted to go to the southeast of the east step to wash the knight, Suo Heng did not dare to sit alone on the seat in the dining hall, for fear of being suspected of servitude to the master, he stood upright and left his seat, and followed Aiwo down to avoid the suspicion of driving the master.

In the township where there are many people drinking or sacrificial feasts, the main hall will be bounded to demarcate the Xijue area, the length of the boundary is equal to the depth of the hall, and the east and west directions are opposite to the east wing of the main house. The washing water is contained in the copper 罍 (léi), which is placed in the east of the washing platform, and the wooden and bamboo fences are in the west and furnished to the south.

For the sake of frugality, the home banquet is often placed in the middle of the hall or in the southeast of the dining hall.

In front of the ice and snow pattern bluestone square case of the Wash, Ai Wo sat upright with his left palm and stroked the back of his right palm, hugged his palm and made a flat gesture inward, and said: "Bo is going back quickly, Lu Wo is tired, everything is long and too selfish, how can I deign to wash it in person." ”

To thank the master for his invitation, Suo Heng needs to leave his seat and go down to the hall, and the ceremony is called "resignation".

In front of the bluestone square case, Suo Heng also replied with his left palm and the back of his right palm overlapped and hugged each other, and said: "Heng, this is a very idle guest, I have nothing to remember, I only carry the wind and moon with me, and use it for my own use, how dare I make Brother Ji Sui, wash and rush, what else can I ask for." ”

Ai Wo faced south, mixed with his right arm raised, the four fingers of his right hand clenched into a fist, only stretched out his index finger a little, the oval open arc wall pottery (yí) without a cover flew up in the air, Ling Ling's clear water flowed out, and Ai Wo stretched out his hands to take a bath. There is a ring foot at the bottom end of the pottery, and the shallow belly round black pottery water dish undertakes the abandoned water. (Note 5)

Bathing hands and worshipping the lord are formal banquets and sacrificial ceremonies. Inadvertently, Ai Wo revealed his magic of manipulating things, which also made the seventh-grade monk Suo Heng admire.

Although the art of controlling things is easy to practice and quick to get started, it is difficult to control and use, and it consumes a lot of cultivators. According to the physical spacing controlled, the farther it is, the more difficult it is, and the closer it is, the easier it is. This technique is the most taboo to control far, and when practicing, it must be collected and condensed into an invisible rope. Everyone in the family knows how to practice, because it is easy, but it is very difficult to practice.

Facing the northeast, Suo Heng bowed and thanked the master Aiwo for bathing his hands, which was called "resignation washing".

The outdoor light shone brightly on the bluestone square case, and Suo Heng shuddered and mourned for the loss of the monk's face, so that others could underestimate the Suo family in Siyi. The right hand chokes, the thumb touches the Chen position, secretly operates Yun Yuan, and drives the Tao Qi on the square stone case in front of him to rise into the air. Urging two or three times, Tao Qian crouched and did not see diligently.

The danger of Dokdo has a great effect on the monks' cultivation, Suo Heng is now ineffective, Tao Qian is not moving in the wind and rain and is as safe as a mountain, and the untimely years are quiet.

Alas! Suo Heng shook his head gently left and right, and if the cultivation was insufficient, then he would use his hand as a spear, and ten thousand emperors could be broken. Just as his right hand was about to hold the Tao Qi handcuff, the young man's Ai Dao fingers moved, Tao Qi took off in the air, the water flowed out, and Suo Heng thanked the young man.

After bathing his hands, Ai Wo wiped the water on his hands with a cheī towel, and placed the bacona scarf on the right side of the pottery, at which point the owner finished washing. Suo Heng took an abaca scarf and wiped the water on his hands, and placed it on the right side of the pottery, saying that the guests were "washed". (Note 6)

The suspended seat rotated half of his body, and Ai Wo faced Suo Heng's salute, invited the guests to go to the hall first, and said: "The bottle is out of stock, the shame of Wei Wei, there are many slackness, fortunately, please forgive me, please be on duty." (Note 7)

Hearing this, Suo Heng Yu (jù) immediately returned the salute and said: "On the auspicious day, who is waiting?" Brother Ji Hui is invited to the court. ”

After the host Aiwo and the guest Suo Heng humbled once, they ascended the steps and ascended to the hall together, and before sitting down, Suo Heng said to the host Aiwo for a long time: "The sea is wide, brother and brother, Heng, Bai Xie Jihui brother Feng Qiwo endlessly, invite me to Tian's house." ”

After going to the hall, the guests should thank the host for bathing their hands, which is called "worship".

Smiling slightly, Aiwo returned the salute and said: "Brother and brother, the style is good, and the teeth are placed between the teeth and teeth." (Note 8)

After the two sat down, Ai Wo told the greeting speech of Peng Shen, what Wo sang to welcome the guests, the wild fruits were hanging green all over the mountain, the color of the Mowei Mountain, the sound of the bright moon island, the triumphant wind (yù) to welcome the king, and the half-horn beauty washed the light dust.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Aiwo was meticulous, and the desert island made the Yanli style of a public food doctor.

The lower part of the long rectangular case is carved with a moire ornament, and the whole body is light yellow plain. Ai Wo held a lamp in his right hand, and there was a three-legged gray pottery jue under the front stream and the back tail, and the jue flowed towards Suo Heng and crossed an arc with the Ai knife, which was the patrol lord or patrol horn.

The gray pottery is placed on the top of the big belly round black pottery storage water and soaked it, and after taking it out, the pottery flies in, and the water flows down slowly. Wipe the water with a bacona silk towel without traces.

Shimizu, Mai, silk scarf, Jun is here.

To offer wine to the guests must be Jue Wo Jiao, Gao Xin Zong Zhou's banquet ceremony, Zhu Jue Wo Jiao should be appreciated as a scenery and elegant art.

Gaoxin Zhou ceremonial state, princely clan banquet ceremonial music, access to business, utilitarian economy, prosperity and coexistence of all levels without loss, ready to become a banquet royal road.

Suo Heng's thoughts returned to the past, and the people of the Wojiao had changed into a bright red-clothed dancing girl, holding the wine lord in a red robe, smiling with a smile in her eyes, and the green curtain beads, combined with the beautiful and moving rhythm, and the beautiful floating horn ladle. I have also been with the white hand of the Lord in the autumn.

The Zhou people love the world the most, although the paradise is good, they are reluctant to be prosperous in the world, reluctant to become a pair of children under their knees, reluctant to be kind to the white-haired old mother, and it is really difficult to give up the surrounding neighbors and relatives, friends and friends. (Note 9)

"Bang the bell", dragged back to Suo Heng's thoughts, Ai Wo's left hand removed the cover of the big-bellied and small-mouthed banana leaf pattern gray pottery pottery, the bamboo tube round bucket bamboo Ke is one foot long, scoop out a bucket of black juice and pour it into the long body corset cypress (gū), after the eight points of the sheng, the pipe bucket is applied to the abaca scarf on the case. Holding the girdle of cypress with both hands, there are eight points to the gray pottery.

After that, Ai Wo hugged the gray pottery lord in front of his left hand and behind his right hand, raised his arms high, called "Yang Ji (zhì)", and said to Suo Heng: "Xianyun gentleman, don't be virtuous." Offering the thin mash (láo) stuffed with wild mulberry fruits, please accept Aiwo's respect. ”

Tao Jue Cheng mulberry fruit mash slowly flew to Suo Heng, the "goodbye" in the host's wine.

If a gentleman has wine, he will offer it as a gift, and etiquette must be performed when feasting and drinking in the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty. (Note 10)

Fear of distance is not afraid of near, fear of slowness is not afraid of disease, fear of light is not afraid of heavy. The more you get started, the more lethal the trick is.

The long case of Aiwo is more than ten zhang away from Suo Heng, and the moxa knife seat is more than ten zhang away from Suo Heng, so he also moves his fingers to control Tao Qi. Suo Heng had a line of panic in his heart, Ai Wo is now cultivating to reveal that he must be in the upper three realms outside the island, and the young Ai Dao is not inferior to him in controlling the surrounding things at will, and the old and young on the island are cultivated to strength, and they are afraid of it after careful consideration.

The drinking ceremony is a banquet for the guests, so that people go on a blind date, and the four steps of worship, sacrifice, spitting and death are agreed. (Note 11)

The gray pottery jue with wine was already coming, Suo Heng straightened his body and took a step to the left to show humility. He first bowed to Aiwo, and then received Tao Jue with both hands, which was called "worship". It is also the first step of the four steps of worship, sacrifice, spitting, and death.

Fingers dipped in Tao Jue raised his hand, and one or two wine beads fell to the ground, in order to thank the virtue of the earth's birth and cultivation. For the second step of "thanksgiving". The face is slightly deviated, the lips are slightly jueliu, and a small sip is shallow, which is the third step of "cuì drinking".

Wen Suoheng said: "Qinghong thin mash is only Jiajiu, and 哉芳酎 (zhòu) 兮jiajiu." "Taste the wine and praise it for the sake of pleasing the owner. After finishing speaking, Suo Heng raised his head and drank it all, and his right hand held Tao Jue Jue to face Aiwo, and the fourth step was "Pawn Jue". At this time, the host finished offering wine.

Suo Heng drank the fierce wine, his breath was sick, his face flushed, and he coughed and wheezed. The person was not flustered, and the abaca scarf was prepared on the case to wipe off the mash water at the corner of the mouth, and said sincerely: "The juice of the corner of the mouth is beautiful, constant, and out of ceremony, please swing (yòu)." ”

The host offers wine, and the guests praise after drinking. The praise can be long or short, both singing and poetry, and must rhyme and harmonize. After the praise, the guests need to drink the wine (zuò) and return the tribute with wine.

Seeing Suo Heng washing the wine jue, wiping it with another abaca scarf to clean it, Jue went to Ai Wo and Ai Dao circled a semicircle, patrolling.

After the tour was completed, the gray pottery lord poured eight points of mulberry fruit mash, knowing that he could not control things in this place of perch, so he left the position and migrated to the front of the Aiwo case, hugged the lord in front of his left hand and behind his right hand, raised his arm and raised his eyes, and said: "Heng, I didn't prepare the Lisorin Jue when I first came, borrow the mulberry and thin mash, and ask Brother Ji Sui to accept Suo Heng's respect." (Note 12)

A gentleman has wine, and he is drunk with his words. A gift in the guest sorrel link.

Before receiving the knight, Aiwo floated out half a step to the left to show humility, bowed to Suo Heng, took Tao Jue with both hands, and the fingers of his right hand were soaked in Tao Jue, and one or two beads of wine fell to the ground to thank the earth, and the face and mouth were slightly sipping and drinking, Ai Wo said: "There are four female mulberries in the Huang Qi forest, there is a pool under the tree, and the mulberry in the pond falls under the tree and the water is waterlogged. ”

Raise his head and finish, his right hand holding Tao Jue Jue Liu faced Suo Heng, and the guests were saluted.

Suo Heng and Ai Wo saluted each other and returned to their seats.

On the long moment case, Ai Wo did not perform the control technique, his hands were diligent and honest, a gray pottery was immersed in the black pottery water storage book, and he took it out for a while, and the pottery water was showered, and the towel was wiped. Holding Tao Jue Jue Liu in his right hand, he said to Suo Heng: "Uncle, please." ”

Seeing that Ai Wo was inspecting to himself, Suo Heng Huan Gray Tao Jue, wiping the scarf clean, and also holding the Tao Jue with his right hand to Ai Wo, and said, "Brother Ji Hui, please." ”

The corset cypress is carved in the shape of mountains and clouds, and the mulberry fruit mash is poured into Taojue. Ai Wo held Tao Jue with both hands and raised his eyes, Suo Heng also raised his hands high, Ai Wo's fingers were dipped in one or two to thank the earth, and Suo Heng also sacrificed to the ground.

Ai Wo took a sip and said to Suo Heng, "I wish Bozhi a long and healthy life. The pawn drank it all, and the right hand held Tao Jue and faced Suo Heng.

Suo Heng took a sip of mulberry fruit mash and said, "Heng, I wish Brother Ji Sui a long life and drunkenness." The right hand holding Tao Jue Jue appeared to Ai Wo to watch, which was the end of the wine ceremony for the guest and host.

A gentleman has wine, and he will be rewarded with his words. The final part of the offering is a gift.

The gift of a sacrifice is also called the gift of the three lords, and the offering, sorrel, and reward all have the steps of washing the wine. (Note 13)

Suo Heng holds a narrow-handled sharp leaf-like wooden dagger in his right hand, spoons take bamboo shoots, and the square thin slices of bamboo shoots have repeatedly slipped from the yellow oak wood dagger, and when embarrassed, he found a pair of bamboo 梜 (jiā), gave up the wooden dagger to hold the bamboo shoots, clamped a piece of intestine bamboo shoots, and soaked the square gray pottery bean neiyu (zū) sauce, which is sour and delicious and does not lose the treasures in the dish. (Note 14)

The young man Ai Dao, who sat north to south, left his position to offer wine to Suo Hengxing, went to the southeast of the east step, and went down to the hall to worship the Wo Xu.

Suo Heng also went down to the court to avoid driving the master. In front of the bluestone square case, the left palm and the back of the right palm of the moxa knife were superimposed and hugged to "surrender", and the guest Suo Heng left the hall.

The pottery on the case is volleyed, the clear water is poured out, the moxa knife is out of the hands of the bathing hands, and the round black pottery water tray undertakes the abandoned water.

Bow to the Lord and bathe your hands. Facing the northeast Suo Heng to salute the "word washing", in front of the moxa knife imperial pottery hanging Suo Heng, wash with both hands, wipe with a scarf, and the guest of honor washes.

Ai Dao faced Suo Heng and bowed flatly, and invited the guests to ascend to the hall first, and after the guest Suo Hengqian gave it once, the two sides ascended the stairs and ascended together.

Before sitting down, Suo Heng "bowed" to the master Ai Dao Xing and thanked him for bathing his hands, and Ai Dao returned the salute.

Zhou people worship rites, daily banquets at home follow the preferences of the host, etiquette (Cheng often changes, if the appropriate talent Aiwo baths according to the "Zhou Yuan Rite - Wine Ceremony" and needs to go down to the hall Wo wine utensils, Ai Wo on the table on the table Wo wine utensils to delete the banquet ceremony, there are differences in etiquette, should be light where it should not be rich, should be rich can not be light, according to the facts in line with the general etiquette and use.

Before the wine offering, the corner of the lord is a unique scene of the ceremonial scenery of the Zhou people's banquet, especially the waist wearing cuilang jade, Luo Yi fluttering Mei Ji golden basin hand, if you see Luo Yi half-off the shoulder, most of the viewers are obsessed.

Among the four corners of "Erya Shi Palace", Ao is the most respected (southwest corner), which is the place of indoor worship. If there are ceremonial activities indoors, there is also a clear distinction between dignity and inferiority. The indoor seat is the most respectful to the west (facing east), followed by sitting north and facing south, and then sitting south and facing north, and the east side is the lowest.
