Li Shimin's evaluation was a little vulgar, but it didn't mean anything to the people who had experienced the end of the Sui Dynasty in the Ganlu Palace.

After all, it may be said whether this Song is a loser or not, but Zhenguan Wenwu must be regarded as a winner.

The only one who has an opinion is probably the eldest grandson queen, she looked at the lord of the Tang Dynasty with a smile, which made Li Shimin suddenly feel a little weak and don't overdo it.

It's bad, I forgot on a whim that the queen is also here......

The complicated situation faced by the Northern Song Dynasty made him feel as if he had returned to the years when the heroes were divided, so he casually scolded Wang Shichong and others in the camp at that time.

But fortunately, this is not a big problem, after glancing at it, Empress Eldest Sun retracted her gaze and said:

"Your Majesty has won many victories, and when you say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, the palace should celebrate and congratulate the world."

These words made Li Shimin tug at his slightly curled beard and think deeply.

He could hear the meaning of Guanyin's words, what he said was in the palace, but it was actually the world.

The scarlet yellow lacquer door can still show grace, and there may not be much need for many regulations on the people.

Naturally, there is no need to change these painted dark doors in Chang'an, but it seems that we can really try to let go of the decoration of the doors......

After all, compared to the vermilion color of the city in the later generations seen in the light curtain, the black door that Yuan Zhengqian sneaked out of the palace and walked around in the square last year was really not festive enough.

But you can't blame yourself for that, right? Li Shimin excused himself in his heart:

It was all set by the Emperor Taishang, and it has nothing to do with him.

And if it's to celebrate the New Year, a little mess shouldn't affect anything, right? Li Shimin muttered in his heart.

[And when everything is ready, this festival of the New Year will also reach the most critical position, which is now commonly known as Chinese New Year's Eve.

The records of this festival etiquette that are almost identical to those seen today come from the Western Jin Dynasty, and the "Records of the Wind and Soil" records a complete and hectic Chinese New Year's Eve process.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, friends will take advantage of the dawn to give gifts, called "gift year".

Friends are invited to drink and eat, called "farewell year".

After entertaining friends, they will go home, and the elders and children will sit down to drink, and the blessings will be complete, called "dividing the year".

After the feast, there is no separation, but just sleepless all night waiting for the dawn, called "keeping the year".

After dawn, the struggling people express their best wishes for the new year to each other in the morning light, called "New Year's Dedication".

This whole process is Chinese New Year's Eve.

The most specific origin of Chinese New Year's Eve is no longer available, but because the ancients lacked understanding of the world, they harvested the gods and exorcised ghosts when they encountered disasters, so it is natural to repair relations with good gods when leaving the old and welcoming the new, and to drive away evil spirits from never coming again.

Historically, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, more and more people participated in the celebration of Chinese New Year's Eve.

From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the pre-Qin dynasty, the emperors of the Son of Heaven would perform "expulsion" rituals in the palace to exorcise ghosts, and this celebration was still the prerogative of the ruling class.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty unified the Chinese New Year, because of the fear of witchcraft, until the end of the Han Dynasty, the opera gradually separated into regulations and flowed into the people, and there was no trouble for the people to hold the opera as long as it did not exceed the system.

As for the fairly complete Chinese New Year's Eve customs during the two Jin dynasties, on the one hand, it is related to the unprecedented increase in the status of the gate valve, competing to flaunt the celebrity and the style. On the one hand, because the fear of witchcraft is fading, the powerful need a relatively gentle celebration ceremony that can strengthen the cohesion of the family.

However, it was not until the Song Dynasty that the ritual became simpler, going to the street to see the opera, and then returning home to put all the food prepared.

At night, he held an oil lamp to illuminate the corners and corners of the house in order to exorcise ghosts, and finally kept the New Year with his family until dawn.

This is the New Year's keeping process of an ordinary person in the Song Dynasty, also known as "taking a waste" or staying up for the year.

However, in comparison, the Chinese New Year's Eve of ordinary people in the Song Dynasty paid more attention to the attribute of reunion.

From the pre-Qin dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the serf estate economy gradually declined, the shackles imposed by the landlords on the people gradually loosened, and it became relatively easier for ordinary people to travel far away.

After the Song Dynasty experienced five dynasties and ten kingdoms, it officially became a complete feudal tenant economy, and the people were able to move freely, which objectively did promote economic and cultural prosperity.

In this case, the Song people's land area was much lower than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the range of action of ordinary people far exceeded that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which eventually made Chinese New Year's Eve also bring the meaning of reunion.

It is a pity that although the Ming and Qing dynasties legally continued the system of reversing different investigations and dividing divisions pioneered in the Song Dynasty, and improved the systems of three divisions of triage, Jiuqing round trial, court trial, hot trial and big trial on the basis of the separation of power and duties, Zhu Yuanzhang instead came up with the thing of road introduction.

Farming does not go out of the countryside, work and rest do not go out, and the road guidance system once again firmly presses the people on one acre and three points of land.

Probably because of the restriction of the vitality of the common people, the Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year celebrations of the Ming and Qing dynasties were only an extension of the Song Dynasty, and there was nothing particularly new.

And to say that the whole earth is celebrating the old and welcoming the new, the modern Chinese New Year should be the first to be promoted. 】

Kong Ming, Pang Tong and others were in high spirits.

More than others, they are more concerned about the institutional changes in the past thousand years.

There is no way, then the Song Dynasty can take the Han and Tang dynasties as a reference, and the Tang Dynasty can also look at the four hundred years of Han history and make mistakes and omissions, but our Han Dynasty has been crossing the river purely by feeling the stones for four hundred years.

When a few people who held military positions were free before, they talked about the rise and fall of the gate lord surname the most.

Because from the changes in those hundreds of years, the evolution of the power structure, the deepening of the central government's control over the local government, and the more perfect formulation of tax collection laws, etc., can all be glimpsed and tried to make up for the whole picture.

However, perhaps because of the inertia of thinking, they talked mostly about princes and princes before, until this criticism of Lu Yin made them look at the Tang and Song dynasties from a different perspective again.

"The manor economy becomes a tenant economy...... and a tenant economy," Pang Tong said to himself.

"Living people are living ...... society", Kong Ming is more unswerving about the measures taken by Chang'an today.

"Turning over the differences, the division of the division, and the triage of the three divisions?"

Fa Zheng muttered to himself repeating these few words that were not easy to understand.

He is familiar with the study of Chinese law, but it is difficult to guess anything based on these words alone, so he missed Zhang Song and Liu Ba a little at the first time, and I believe that if the two of them should have different opinions.

But...... Maybe you can talk to this Lu Zijing? Fa Zheng glanced at Lu Su, who was also thoughtful next to him.

Fa Zheng still remembers the praise behind Lu Su, saying that he is virtuous and powerful, and has the meaning of fairness and selflessness in rewards and punishments.

In this case, perhaps he also has a unique view on the way of power and the law?
