On November 11, Yecheng, Jianzhang Palace.

It is said that in the first few days before Ran Min was preparing to ascend to the pole and become the emperor, the founding ceremony was held for a few days, which was rainy and rainy, and it was strange to say that after Ran Min asked the gods, the weather gradually cleared up.

On the day of the official ascension to the throne, the air is fresh and the sun is shining, which is indeed a good day for people to smile, which is conducive to holding major events. Ran Min felt that this was a good sign that God was approving him to be the emperor, so he climbed the altar on the bank of the Zhangshui River to claim the emperor, surrounded by the ministers.

The ceremony of becoming emperor is extremely cumbersome and boring.

Since ancient times, China has emphasized the "divine right of heaven", and every uprising must have a name, which is the arrangement of God, so after the establishment of a new dynasty, the founding ceremony must be held, and the procedures and rules are very complicated, and there is no room for rudeness, because this is a major event that affects the fortunes of the country.

In China, the monarchs of all dynasties were deeply influenced by the philosophical thought of "the unity of heaven and man" and Confucian culture, which was also reflected in the founding ceremony!

The emperor was chosen by heaven and was the monarch of the country, so he called himself "the Son of Heaven".

And the first thing Ran Min has to do is to "pray to heaven".

On that day, Ran Min was wearing a crown dress, cumbersome and gorgeous, full of a solemn atmosphere, a crown dress with the spirit of a king!

The crown costume is a large type of hanfu.

The heraldic of Hanfu and its richness, Zhou Li "to the pattern as the precious" represents the beliefs and customs of Han culture, the expression of the eternal clothing culture and thought, encouraging people to be kind, in full of respect for the sky, Longzu, Mingli, Shangyi meaning.

The Yellow Emperor's black coat is the earliest coat with a coat of arms, which refers to the coat of arms of two colors.

And Ran Min was wearing a big crown at this time.

With 12 crowns, single clothes, big fur, and dark clothes. The top is painted with six chapter patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects, and the bottom is embroidered with algae, fire, pink rice, Zongyi, 黼, and 黻 six chapter patterns. A total of 12 chapters, also known as 12 chapters.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ran Min also climbed the altar set up on the bank of the Zhangshui River.

This altar is the altar of the mound.

The mound altar is specially used to worship the sky, and there is no house built on the platform, and the sacrifice is made to the air, which is called "dew sacrifice".

The furnishings of the festival are exquisite, the offerings are abundant, and the rules are strict. There are seven groups of gods in the altar, and each group of gods is made of azure satin to form a temporary shrine.

The north side of the upper circle center stone is set up on the front of the main throne Emperor God God tablet, and its god is in the shape of a polygonal cone.

The east and west sides of the second layer of the altar are subordinate - the sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind and thunder tablets, and the gods are rectangular; In front of the shrine, there are a large number of offerings such as jade, silk, whole cattle, whole sheep, whole pigs, wine, fruits, and dishes.

There are more than 700 vessels used for sacrificial offerings and various ritual utensils alone.

On the east and west sides of the south steps of the Yuanqiu altar, there are 16 kinds of chimes, chimes, bells, bells, etc., and more than 60 pieces of musical instruments are composed of Zhonghe Shao music, which are arranged neatly, solemn and magnificent.

Ran Min immediately knelt on the worship seat, looking pious and solemn, and after bowing respectfully three times and nine times, he took the edict handed by the chamberlain on the side.

The founding ceremony of the emperor who was not allowed by Zen was very cumbersome. For example, when Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi accepted the concession of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he only needed to do a few things, but Ran Min couldn't be so perfunctory!

"Minister Ran Min, pray to the Emperor God and change the life of Yuan Zizi Da Yin."

"The cunning Shi clan is a poor soldier. The plague was raging, and the city was slaughtered. Started from a group of thieves and ended up with a false reputation. Since Yongjia, the Jin dynasty has moved south, the clothes have crossed to the south, the temple has overturned, the Hu people have entered China, and the Central Plains have been bloody. ”

"Min is a general, committed to the Hu, worked hard for ten years, and finally opened up the Quartet, giving the people a happy land, so that the people have something to rely on, and the old have something to rely on. Zir Dabang, conscientious, dedicated, do not forget the legacy of the ancestors, thanks to love, God does not give up, the heart of the people to me. ”

"Now Min established the country, called the emperor, changed the dynasty, hoped that the emperor and the queen of heaven would be blessed, and give my people not to suffer from swords and soldiers, not to be harmed by Hulu, the wind and rain are smooth, the grains are abundant, and the country and the people are safe! ……”

After worshipping the sky, Ran Min began to worship the earth again, that is, "praying to the earth".

This is understandable, because the foundation of the nation is the land that gives birth to human beings.

Although the concept of heaven, earth and man is relatively broad, the objects to be prayed for and sacrificed are very specific.

As a result, all dynasties and dynasties had to "establish a society", and in the future, this became synonymous with the country.

"She" refers to the "god of the land", and "Ji" means "the god of the five grains".

Because China has been an agrarian society since ancient times, the land is the foundation of the country, the foundation of the country, so the sacrifice of "Sheji" is the top priority, generally "set up the altar for the community", the altar is placed in the east, west, south, north and middle five directions respectively placed "green, white, red, black, yellow" five colors of soil cover, that is, the so-called five-color soil.

According to Taoist theory: the eastern Yimu is green, the western hept metal is white, the southern Lihuo is red, the northern Kwai water is black, and the central Wutu is yellow.

This symbolizes the unification of the country, the whole world, it is not the king's land!

So Ran Min ran back to Jianzhang Palace from the bank of the Zhangshui River to worship the sky. And they were accompanied by their subjects, as well as envoys from all over the world.

Ran Min and Dong Qiaoqiao stayed in the car driven by twelve white horses, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Dong Qiaoqiao beat Ran Min's legs very obediently, and said with a smile: "King, are you tired?" ”

Ran Min stretched his muscles and said, "That's it." Fortunately, the widow's body is strong, otherwise he really can't withstand such a toss! ”

"After today, everything will be fine." Dong Qiaoqiao was relieved.

"King, how many steps are left? Almost done, right? ”

Ran Min shook his head and said, "It's still early." First, sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, and sacrifice to ghosts. ”

"King, this sacrifice to heaven and earth and concubines knows, but what is this sacrifice to ghosts?"

"To worship ghosts is to sacrifice to ancestors. There are three things to be called an emperor, and the third thing is to sacrifice ghosts! ”

Ran Min said lightly: "In addition to heaven and earth, there are also ghosts, that is, to sacrifice ancestors, because the emperors are born to their mothers, the bloodline is passed on, and the founding of the country has become a great cause, so the third thing is to sacrifice to the ancestors!" These three things are fixed programs and are essential. One is to pray for the wind and rain to be smooth, the other is to pray for a bumper harvest of the earth, and the third is to pray for the eternal survival of the ancestors! ”

Hearing this, Dong Qiaoqiao bowed slightly and said, "This concubine has heard of it, and it is indeed essential." "Confucius's Family Sayings" says: "There is a king in the world, and the country is divided into lands and established ancestors, which is the number of relatives and nobles." It is the Son of Heaven who established seven temples, three Zhao and three Mu, and seven temples of Taizu. Taizu is close to the temple, and they are all sacrificed to the moon. The far temple is a mystery, there are two mysteries, and you can enjoy it. The concubine almost forgot. ”

When Ran Min heard this, he couldn't help but look at Dong Qiaoqiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, you can do it." You're making fun of the widow! ”

"But this sacrifice to the ancestors is indeed an indispensable part. No matter how small the country is, its monarch will inevitably build seven temples. For example, Sun Quan, after establishing a foundation in Jiangdong, established the 'Ancestor Temple' in Changsha, the birthplace of the Sun family, in order to build the temple for materials, he actually dug up the tomb of Wu Rui, the first king of Changsha, and borrowed the coffin board of the dead. For this reason, there is also a strange story in the history of the temple and the history of tomb robbery! ”

"The concubine heard Qin Mu say that the king's founding ceremony is quite similar to that of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty."

"It's even more cumbersome than Liu Bang's!" Ran Min couldn't help but say with a look of resentment: "Back then, Liu Bang founded the country in Bishui, and Liu Bang's confidant and minister Shusun Tong and his group set up an altar for Liu Bang on the south bank of Bishui and held a ceremony to worship the heavens and sacrifice to the earth. I didn't see how cumbersome it was! ”

Without saying much, Ran Min got out of the car and drove to pray for the land, and then went to the temple to worship the ancestors.

Ancestor worship is at Jongmyo Temple, which is also the foundation of the nation's founding.

In ancient times, emperors must establish "seven temples", that is, to build seven temples to worship their ancestors.

These seven temples are first of all the "Four Relatives Temple", which is dedicated to "Gaozu, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father" and the "Erao Temple" is dedicated to Gaozu's father and grandfather, and finally the "Ancestor Temple", a total of seven temples.

During the worship, Ran Min muttered in his heart: Father, the child did not disgrace you!

Ran Min is reincarnated, so he has always had the figure of his father Ran Zhan in his memory, lingering. New Bayi m.x81zw

After worshipping the temple, Ran Min also had to posthumously seal the temple numbers of these ancestors, and the temple numbers of Taizu and Gaozu and Chengzu were naturally reserved for himself and the later emperors, so the temple numbers and nicknames that could be posthumously sealed were very cheap, and they were all the kind of rotten streets.

The Wei Jun Ran clan has been a general for generations, so they naturally have a genealogy, so they can trace back to seven generations, unlike the later Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who can only be traced back to four generations.

There seems to be a saying that after the Tang and Song dynasties, the founding emperor would only go back four generations. However, Ran Min still has to trace his seven generations at this time.

Renzu, Yizu, Dezu and other rotten street temple numbers were posthumously awarded by Ran Min to his great-grandfather, great-grandfather, etc.

The temple name that Ran Min gave to his father Ran Zhan was Liezu, and he was called Emperor Chun (emperor names such as Wen and Wu still can't be posthumously sealed); The temple number given to his grandfather Ran Long is Shizu, and the name is Emperor Xing.
