Chapter 162: Those who are strong in soldiers and horses have the most noble bloodline
While the two were chatting, the assistants of Grand Lama Wang brought over a set of clothes, hats, and so on.
"What is this? Are the clothes ready? Theodora couldn't help but ask.
"yes, the whole outfit is ready." Guo Kang nodded: "To be honest, this body is a little inconvenient to move, so we have been letting her practice in costumes." ”
Jeanne Jr. expertly put on the nun's robe. Jeanne helped her tie her belt, untied her belt, spread her braids, and deliberately made her cloak scatter.
"It's strange to look at...... Diodora muttered.
"No way." Guo Kang said: "We don't have a special nun costume, this holy woman's costume is directly changed from the clergy's costume. ”
The clergy clothing of the Purple Horde was also a half-hung product that was simplified and changed according to the clothing of the Orthodox Church. In fact, it was an ordinary caftan with a simple clerical robe on the outside.
The rules of the uniform hierarchy of court officials can still be copied from the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, but in terms of priests, because Seris has no regulations in this regard, he can only think about it himself. In the early years, in order to save money, ordinary clergy basically used cheap linen in the primary color, and simply tied it with a cloth belt. Only senior clergy above the priest wear black and red attire. So, it's just going to be used.
They also did not have special hats, and for a long time wore the white ripped ymulkes of the Orthodox priests, and even the cloth hanging from them was copied.
Of course, they are not the only ones copying this form. The Ottoman Janissaries also wore this hat. Since it is originally the same origin, it doesn't look much different.
Later, the hat also diverged. After the bureaucracy gradually improved, the Purple Horde began to make such cylinder hats out of black yarn. Compared to the black gauze hat, it has a simple shape and no wings, and various red, purple, and gold colored threads are fixed directly on the side to show the level and department it belongs to.
The clergyman's hat, on the other hand, developed into a turban-like soft hood. In the Orthodox Church, such hats were generally reserved only for high-ranking clergy such as patriarchs, but on the Purple Horde side it was completely widespread. Finally, it's by color. Only the pure white ones with crosses are for the patriarch, and the rest are according to the rank.
As for the nuns' clothes, almost all of them depend on how each nun will design them.
In the early years of the Purple Horde, there were actually many nuns. Because the pressure of war was so great at that time, women had to participate in transportation, guarding, and even short distances. And the high-intensity war has put many places in a situation where there are many boys and girls, and it is not uncommon for women to lose their fathers, sons, and husbands.
As a result, these people gradually organized themselves and formed the early Sisters Society, which connected and supported each other in the name of spiritual practice.
At that time, the convent was more like an activity center for these women, or a place to shelter the homeless, and the "nuns" in it could hardly be said to be full-time monastic women. It's just that because the application is successful, you can get the church's subsidy, so that the number of such non-governmental organizations has always been quite large.
However, they are not official clergy after all, so the church does not care what uniform they wear.
Some convents with better conditions will give the nuns regular clothes, but the main purpose is actually as a subsidy - these days, for the poor, complete clothes are still not cheap, and having a new dress is a good benefit.
And there is no such condition, that is, under the organization of regular gatherings, everyone wears daily clothes, at most hanging a cross or a hat, to show their identity.
Therefore, there really is no nun's dress in the strict sense here. It's just that everyone sees a lot of grassroots clergy, so they subconsciously feel that "this is how they should be chanting", which leads to the nuns' clothes also moving closer to this style.
Soon, little Jeanne was dressed up.
She wore a tawny robe and a large, light-colored patriarchal hood on her head. Jeanne helped her straighten the cloth that hung from her hat, draped it over her shoulders, and finally, put a prop crown on her head.
"I think it's pretty handsome." Tuohuan commented: "When we designed it before, we also referred to the nun clothes of the Roman Catholic Church, but I feel that there is no personality at all, I can't see the characteristics of a saint, and I don't have the domineering spirit brought by high sacredness." ”
"If you change the color of this body, you will be able to descend to earth." Guo Kang complained: "It's really domineering......"
"Isn't that crown out of the way?" Theodora, for her part, pointed out the question of rank: "Is this for the legendary princess?" Can she, a county lord, wear this? ”
"Whatever, the Ming Dynasty doesn't wear a crown." Guo Kang said that he did not have to worry: "Just say that the locals gave her souvenirs to show their respect." People don't care about it so wide. ”
"Which is more noble, the princess of Rome or the lord of the Ming Dynasty?" Theodora didn't seem to have a problem with him at all, and didn't know what to worry about there.
"It's certainly not a question of who is noble - we're all our own people, I'll be honest." Guo Kang spread his hands and said bluntly: "If you look at the bloodline, then you will become a small leader of the grassland and Huaiyou Buyi, whose bloodline is more noble." It's not the three generations of antiquity, how can it be compared to blood. ”
"Genghis Khan's father was the third son of the second son of Hebul Khan. Even in the Qiyan tribe, there have been two generations in a row that are neither heirs nor elders. relied on his outstanding performance in the war with the Jin Kingdom to become a small head of a tribe. Ming Taizu is even more miserable, and the story of his beginnings is clearer to everyone. ”
"So, it's not a question of who is more noble." He pointed at Jeanne Jr.: "Or to put it more bluntly, whoever can beat her fourth grandfather will be more noble than her." ”
"So it's not appropriate for you to ask me this question. You can ask Tuhuan if he can beat him. ”
He was telling the truth, but Theodora looked a little unwilling.
"I don't think I'm good anyway. I have even lost 'Shi Zetian', and I guess it will be even worse when I meet him. Seeing her looking at herself, Tuhuan shook her head again and again: "And you're entangled in what you're doing." Some people have questioned our relationship with the Golden Horde, but our legitimacy does not depend on blood. ”
"The rules on the prairie, whoever has a big fist will be noble. Brother Zhu has the biggest fist, then he is Hehan. He could see this: "Haven't we in Rome always been the big emperor with strong soldiers and horses, and the second one as the little emperor?" There's nothing hard to understand. ”
"As for our grandfather's family, isn't their problem too vegetable?"
