Chapter 214: Xuanyuan

On June 18, the year 254 of the Republic (1913), Huangling County, Shaanxi Province.

Huangling County was originally called Central County, because it was the place where the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was located, and it was renamed "Huangling County" at the beginning of the previous year. The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is the mausoleum of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, known as the first mausoleum in China, on the top of Qiaoshan one kilometer north of Huangling County. For thousands of years, every Qingming Festival or the Yellow Emperor's birthday (the third day of the third lunar month), there is an endless stream of people who come here to pay homage to the mausoleum.

The new Chinese government also attaches great importance to this place, the year before last began to build a large number of buildings here, carried out large-scale renovation and reconstruction here, rebuilt the temple and altar, the newly repaired Xuanyuan Hall and the altar are all imitation Han style, built on the top of Qiaoshan Mountain.

Ascending the granite stone steps, you will see the tall gate of the gate, on both sides of the gate the red birds spread their wings, and the male lions stand proudly. After entering the gate, the two sides of the road are rows of white marble stone tablets, which are engraved with the famous poetry works and famous sacrificial texts of commemorating the Yellow Emperor in the past dynasties, the main hall is the palace-style building of the Han Dynasty, the red pillars stand in front of the corridor, and the dougong is proud. In the main hall, the Yellow Emperor sits in the middle of the color sculpture, hangs the Han seal gold character huge "Ancestor of Humanity", and the two sides are the female Ying and the Emperor. The side halls on both sides are accompanied by ancient sages such as Chao, Suiren, Yandi Shennong, and Chiyou.

The altar is outside the temple, located in the middle of the newly renovated Xuanyuan Square, just opposite the gate of the Xuanyuan Palace. The altar as a whole is granite, the railing and the surface slate are white marble, the altar is 18 meters high, divided into nine layers, and the bottom side is 45 meters long. The altar is also in the style of the Han Dynasty, and the walls of each floor are covered with exquisite reliefs, and the content is all about the exploits of the Yellow Emperor.

The series of buildings was only completed in June this year.

At this time, the square of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was crowded with people, rubbing shoulders, because today is the second public sacrifice of the Yellow Emperor by Wen Dehe. Before the founding of the country in 191o, Wen Desi had already come once, but that time because of insufficient preparation, it was very simple, just to prepare flowers and fruits, no special costumes, no band, even the sacrificial text was written by Gu Xiaolu, the whole article is half-literate and half-white.

The festival was spit out for a long time by some "wild masters", who ridiculed the top brass of the Socialist Party for "staying in a barbarian place for a long time, not knowing the number of rituals", not knowing the traditional etiquette at all, and the whole set of rituals was full of mistakes and omissions, even inferior to Tartar. At least I knew that the sacrifice was to use three animal sacrifices, and how could there be flowers and fruits to be considered sacrifices? The sacrificial texts should be mainly made of traditional pun li texts to appear solemn, and how could there be a full prose as the reason for the sacrificial texts? Moreover, there were a lot of vernacular words in that article, and a few sentences of literary language were written in a bullshit manner. It's like a grass platform team, and it doesn't look like a central government at all.

How did they know that Wen Deji also felt very wronged, and he also neglected the difference in the times, and completely followed the set of tomb sweeping in later generations, and that set of etiquette could not be regarded as rude in later generations. He didn't expect that in this era, there would be so many ways to even sweep a tomb, and it ended up being a big joke.

Although the government of the Socialist Party also raised a group of "domestic masters", Wen Desi did not attach importance to them at all, and it was difficult to think of them in ordinary times, so naturally he did not go to them for staff officers. And there are not no ignorant people in the Science and Technology Party, such as Zhang Madzi and other experts in Chinese studies are also experts, but at that time they were either busy with other things, or did not hold relevant positions, and Wen Desi himself did not think to ask about this matter, so he made a joke in a daze.

Although Wen Desi didn't care about the shouting of those "wild masters", anyway, if they shouted too much, they would be invited by the Central Social Affairs Department to participate in voluntary labor. However, he still thinks that this event should be made more grand, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is a spiritual symbol of Chinese civilization, and the grand sacrificial ceremony can unite the national consciousness and enhance the cultural identity of the people. The previous one was really too simple.

Last year, the presidential palace issued a document designating the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan as sacred sites in China. and each sent a battalion of mausoleum guards to serve as guards in normal times and as honor guards when there were heavy activities. That's right, they are troops of the nature of honor guards. It's just that because the place where they stay is relatively special, so later, these two troops were called "Holy Sepulchre Guards" by the folk do-good people, and many YY stories were spread.

In addition, after the renovation of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was completed, Wen Desi led the central leaders to hold the second public memorial ceremony of New China here. This time, after a great victory over Japan, it also recovered a large amount of lost territory, and even expanded its territory to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This sacrifice really has a feeling of comforting the ancestors, and it is even more indescribably refreshing, so the feelings of everyone today are very high.

Of course, this time Wen Deji was prepared, and he didn't want to make jokes, since the times are different, then it will be done according to the rules of this era. As a result, the almost forgotten "domestic masters" finally entered Mr. Wen's field of vision again this time. President Wen set up the "Preparatory Committee for the Public Sacrifice of Yanhuang", and asked Zhang Binglin, head of the Central Propaganda Department, to be responsible for the preparation and ceremony arrangements of the public memorial and the presiding over the period. Although Zhang Binglin was a staunch revolutionary, he was also a very traditional literati, and he liked this kind of thing too much.

When the news of the government's public sacrifice this year came out, even those "wild masters" were moved, even if they had laughed at Wen Dehei's first public festival at the beginning for "bullshit", but looking at their current appearance, as if those cool words were not said by themselves, they all tried their best to drill into the preparatory committee, and they were very active.

Don't look at these "masters" one by one, they are noble and cold, a picture of "not bending their waists for five buckets of rice". But in fact, this "don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice" is just that the weight of "five buckets of rice" is not enough, not that they won't bend your waist. When you raise the "five buckets of rice" to "five stones", "fifty stones", "five hundred stones" or even "five thousand stones", the waists of these people will become like noodles.

If these people go to some specific grassroots work, it will be "five buckets of rice", and they will not look down on it, but in fact they will not be able to, and they will not be able to. What they want is to take the "shortcut to the south", relying on the mouth cannon to be looked at by the boss three times, and once they will be in power.

The preparation of this public memorial is a good opportunity for these people to show their faces. They know that Wen Desi attaches great importance to science and engineering talents, but when this kind of thing happens, the scientists and engineers that Mr. Wen likes most are useless, and they have to rely on them as "literati masters". Now I have the opportunity to "help" Mr. Wen, who lacks etiquette literacy, and the benefits are endless, and maybe it will be reused all of a sudden.

For Mr. Wen, although these people are not worth reusing, they are not completely useless, at least they can help in these things and save themselves worry. So he instructed the crazy Zhang, those folk "masters" who are willing to come to help, let them come, you just take care of it.

Thanks to the participation of many "domestic masters" and "wild masters", this public memorial ceremony was quite well organized, and compared with the first time, it was completely different. The new Chinese government is not short of money, and it is willing to spend money, and it has enough manpower and material resources, anyway, according to the words of the general article, it is: "Don't be afraid of spending money, just do it well for me, and it must be grand enough." ”。 Under sufficient hardware conditions, many gorgeous ideas of the "masters" have been realized.

Therefore, this public memorial event was made like a grand festival, and the army alone dispatched two divisions to serve as honor guards and extras. Dozens of famous troupes and thousands of outstanding artists from all over the country were also invited to rehearse for several months and be responsible for the cultural and artistic programs at the ceremony. The scene was jaw-dropping.

It is worth mentioning that this sacrifice was made in full accordance with traditional rituals, that is. With the exception of some security guards and staff, the participants were all dressed in traditional clothing, known as hanfu. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled China, they tried to completely eliminate the Han people's sense of resistance, on the one hand, "keep no head" to change all the Han people's types to "money rat tails", which completely subverted the aesthetics of normal people, and on the other hand, forcibly abolished the traditional Hanfu that has been passed down for thousands of years.

In the original time and space, because of the decades of war after the end of the Qing Dynasty, his life was almost gone, and he was continuously beaten by foreign countries, and his heart was gone, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to such a small problem as clothing. After the big picture and the dynasty mixed up with one country, international relations were extremely tense, ready to fight the third world war at any time, and the whole country was preparing for war and famine, and there was no heart to do this. Finally, it was time to stop, and some "masters" who were not long-sighted were restless again, and wanted to seize power and want to take the position, so they were forced to start "breaking the four olds", and under overkill, everything that was ancient was broken as the "four olds".

After a few decades, the country was finally strong, the society was stable, and life was rich. At this time, people who have enough food and clothing suddenly thought: Oh, it turns out that we also have traditional clothing, any nation in the world has its own traditional clothing, is it not possible that I have a long history of Lang Huaxia, this is not good, I have to restore fù so I started the "restore fù Hanfu" movement, but at this time it has been lost for too long, many people have lost that consciousness, and the government is influenced by some kind of countermainstream ideology, and does not support this matter, so it is not easy to pick it up, It took another few decades for the better.

However, the original plane is different, because the strength of the Socialist Party is far from being comparable to that of the Artillery Party and the Red Party in the original time and space, and in just a few years it unified the whole country, and quickly stabilized society with an iron fist, eliminating the basis of war. The new China that has opened up is even more powerful in the world, and has just begun to show its edge as soon as it was founded, causing the great powers to revise the treaty one after another, suppressing the Netherlands, beating the Gallic chickens, and destroying Japan not long ago. Not only did it recover a large amount of territory lost in the Manchu era, but it also used various means in the international arena to extract a lot of territory from the mouths of the foreign powers.

At the same time, because of the policy of "exploiting the world to feed China", the living standards of the people are also soaring day by day. Under these circumstances, the Chinese people's Celestial Empire ideology still generally existed, and it was not dispersed for a long time like the original time and space before it was restored, and under the 6 successive victories and territorial expansion, this kind of Celestial Empire thought, which was originally not dispersed but was suppressed for decades, quickly revived, and quickly returned to a normal level.

Everyone's morale is very high.

In this folk atmosphere, the restoration of Hanfu has become a matter of course. In fact, after the Xinhai of the original time and space, there was also such a period of time, when the clothes of all dynasties were turned out, but the later war interrupted this process.

The same is true of this plane, at the beginning, everyone also turned out the clothes of the previous dynasties, happily dressed all over the street, for a time the clothes of various dynasties on the street can be seen, in addition to the Shang Dynasty and the previous bad research, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty There are costumes, as if suddenly there are a lot of traversers, very thunderous.

It's not clear whether others have been thundered, anyway, Wen Desi has been thundered. At one meeting, he saw Vice Premier Yuan Shikai wearing a Ming Dynasty robe, Zhang Maniac wearing a Han Dynasty robe, Tao Chengzhang dressed like a Tang Dynasty official, and Xu Xilin wearing a Song Dynasty tight-sleeved samurai uniform...... Except for Mr. Wen himself and those high-ranking cyborg officials who were still wearing suits, the other indigenous officials were dressed as if they had traveled from previous dynasties, anyway, Mr. Wen was solid at that time.

Wen Desi is not the kind of reverse nationalist, of course he supports Hanfu, but he thinks this kind of mixing and matching style is too shocking, at least everyone should unify the style. So he gave an order, found a group of fashion designers and art experts, and then brought those "domestic masters" and "wild masters" as staff officers, and quickly redesigned a set of unified style of Hanfu in the new era with the power of the state, and promoted it to replace the original messy Hanfu.

This new era Hanfu is based on the solemn and concise style of the Han Dynasty, with a large number of modern elements added, and many details have been improved to adapt to modern society, taking into account the difference between modern and ancient. This costume is divided into formal dresses and regular dresses, and the dresses are still mainly traditional styles, except for some details that have not changed much. Regular clothes can be worn on a daily basis, and this change is very large, with a lot of modern elements. For example, the structure of clothes pockets and hidden pockets has been added to facilitate the placement of things; Buttons or concealed buttons are used at the placket for easy wearing...... and so on.

For example, Wen Desi is now wearing a newly designed gown, which, according to the regulations, is worn during traditional ceremonies such as sacrificing Yan Huang. Mr. Wen is now wearing a crown and a large dress with twelve chapters, standing straight on the altar and reciting the sacrificial text.

When he reads, "...... The three armies worked hard and captured the ashes. Liutai is reglorious, and Sanhan has been restored to ......" The feelings of the masses below are about to boil, if they don't still remember to abide by discipline, they are already thunderous with joy.

“...... Relying on the Holy Spirit, the law of eternity, the Holy Spirit is not ignorant, and its appreciation is still feasting" After Wen Deji finished reading the thousands of words of sacrifice, he began to enter the next procedure. At this time, the salute rang out, everyone's suppressed enthusiasm was released, and the entire Xuanyuan Square was jubilant.

The film crew of the China Film Company was present to shoot the whole event, and it will be made into a live video and a documentary in the future, which will become an important material.

Many domestic and foreign journalists are also trying to take pictures. A Japanese reporter said sourly: "President Wen's clothes are similar to those of the previous emperors, is he going to restore the imperial ......system?"

A Chinese reporter immediately retorted: "...... Your emperor often wears a suit, but I haven't seen you change to a republic. Besides, Mr. Wen wants to restore the fù imperial system, and we also strongly support it."

"I said, if you don't understand, say less, lest you lose face. Another Chinese reporter said even more unceremoniously: "This kind of dress is called a gown, and there was no emperor when there was such clothes." According to the current words, this kind of clothing is for the exclusive use of the national yuan, and it doesn't matter whether it is the emperor or the president, the national yuan is on the line. ”

The Japanese reporter was speechless and had to leave without a sigh of relief.

This public festival has a great impact and has received rave reviews in the society, and it can be said that except for Mr. Wen, everyone is happy. Mr. Wen was unhappy because he had been a model for a day and was fiddled back and forth by a group of etiquette experts, which made him very depressed.

Afterwards, Gu Xiaolu asked Wen Desi how he felt at that time.

Wen Desi said: "I feel very tired, and the clothes are not comfortable at all, especially the tiara, which is swaying and uncomfortable......"

Gu Xiaolu froze for a moment and said, "Uh, so it's a big dress." Therefore, the ancient emperors only wore it during the heavy dà ceremony, and no one usually wore this. The dress is used to show off, never for the purpose of wearing comfort, all countries are the same, China is not bad, Western dresses, especially women's dresses, are really sinful to wear......"
