Chapter 3323 Chinas Great Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven
When the ceremony opens, it is necessary to choose a good day and an auspicious time to offer sacrifices to heaven. What is offered to heaven is the sky, and the sky here does not refer to the Lord of Heaven who now rules the three realms, but to the heaven worshiped by the ancestors of the human world before the heavens connected with the human world.
The larger the ceremony, the more solemn the sacrificial rituals will be.
Human etiquette is based on Confucian etiquette, ranging from prayers to heaven and memorials to common people's weddings and funerals, all following Confucian etiquette as a model.
According to the "Book of Rites", offering sacrifices to heaven is the most important of all celebration activities, and is divided into ten processes.
They are: Emperor God, Shengbiao, Zunbo, Jinzu, First Offering, Memorial Congratulations, Subordinate Offering, Final Offering, Thorough Food, Farewell to God, and Burning Burning.
Each step of these ten processes must be rigorous, and each link plays a different music and represents a different meaning.
The Emperor God plays the song of neutralization.
In the past, at the beginning of the great desolate period, there was confusion, the five elements had not yet moved, the two rays were not clear, one of them stood upright, whether there was a face or a voice, the god emperor came out to control, and then judged the turbid and clear, established the sky, the earth, and humans, and all living things came into being.
Raise the table to play Yuanhe's music.
The emperor established the yin and yang, created the world, and the gods gave birth to the seven political affairs. The essence of the light is round and square, and it is a sign of good things. I dare to repay it, and I worship and recommend the emperor as the emperor.
The silk was laid and the song of peace and harmony was played.
The emperor listens to me, I am as loyal as a relative, my son's position is mediocre and there is no way to apply for it, I have a list of names, I have a lotus to look at, I have a Thai title, I respect you, I pay homage to Chen Jade and silk, and I congratulate Hongren.
Jinzu plays the song of Yuhe
The feast was held in great splendor, with thunderous cheers. The emperor and God gave him the gift, and the ministers donated money. The cauldrons were cooked with cannons, and the delicacies were deliciously prepared. The emperor expressed his gratitude for the good fortune of the people, and the ministers were grateful. What a blessing!
The first performance of the song Shouhe.
How can I bear the kindness of a great person? How can I bear the slightest affection? I bow down to you and drink wine from Yao, and I will live a long and strong life.
Play a song to celebrate Jinghe.
When the emperor establishes his order, he appoints the three talents to divide the people and property among the middle. But it is the duty of heaven. I ask for the order and use the Emperor Guang to accompany me. I will always be matched with the emperor!
Yaxian plays the song of Taihe.
All living beings come together, all of them receive the first grace, all the characters are limited, and all living beings are here with great kindness. Who knows what they have always been? With the emperor, he is the true ancestor of billions of things.
Finally, I will play the song of eternal peace.
The treasure banquet is prosperous, the jade is supported, the qiong liquid rises, the music and feathers dance, the harmonious energy condenses, and the people's goods are abundant. The ministers are anxious and unable to report.
Che Cuisine plays the song of Xianhe.
The Taizuo has been completed, be sincere and don't be swayed, the emperor's virtue has no capital, and he has cultivated these living beings, large and small, and carved the feelings of the ministers, without showing any foolish feelings, but is profound and inclusive, and the music is born.
Send the Emperor and God to play a tune of peace and harmony. The gift is only recommended in the book. The Emperor and God enjoy it. Ten thousand dances have been performed. Ninety percent has been done. The Emperor has bestowed a great gift on me. My family is celebrating. The gold is ringing and the jade is vibrating. The sound is boring and boring, and the officials are all here. The ring is worn, the jingle is ringing, gods and men congratulate each other, and the emperor is praised. The treasure is called Tai, is there an infinite amount?
He is always tall and thick, his ministers are in charge for a long time, his humble ministers kowtow, and you are bathed in the light of grace.
Feng Liao played Xihe's music.
The Yao slips worship the book, and the title of Tai is completed. The emperor is presented to the Ming Dynasty. The precious coins, delicacies, and sincerity are here. They are all mounted with huge flames and reach the Xuanqing Dynasty. The nine walls and four tables are here, and everyone is stunned. The common people gather together. Come on, I know that Qinghong's name Ye Xiaochuan is very popular now. He is standing next to Yu Jizi. His position is further forward than Yun He, the elder of Cangyun Sect, and the four leaders of Cangyun Sect. In comparison, Gu Jianchi No one could be seen anymore. He was at least dozens of feet away from Ye Xiaochuan, and a person
A group of elders and elite disciples from various sects stood together.
This is a grand and solemn sacrificial ceremony. There is no need to make any noise or make any big movements, otherwise it will be a blasphemy against the ancestors and the heaven.
But this didn't stop those big guys from looking at Ye Xiaochuan standing next to Yu Jizi from the corner of their eyes.
Qiankunzi, Tuobayu, Master Kongyuan, Guan Shaoqin, Fairy Yimiao, Nushe, Nue, Nangong Bat, Ghost Sword Demon King, Old Man Molin...
These big guys all have different intentions at the moment.
Of course, Ye Xiaochuan is not the only young man standing in front. Li Xuanyin, the young master of the Xuantian Sect, Mingnu She, the young minister of the Sixth Heavenly Goddess Division, Nangong Bat, the god of the southern territory of the world, Yaoguang, the leader of the Sihai tribe, Nanjiang
Miss Gesang, the great wizard of the Miao ethnic group, Miss Huoli, the great wizard of the Fire tribe, etc., Yang Ling'er, the saint of the Piaomiao Pavilion, Miss Tianwen, the deputy chief of the Qingmu Banner of the Demon Sect, etc. These people are all young people and they all follow the leaders of their respective sects.
The leader stood in the front row, but these Ye Xiaochuan seemed to be the most unusual among this group of young people.
The ghost girl behind the machine with a cabbage on her head, kelp wrapped around her waist, a sack, and a pot lid under her feet is quite different.
Because these young people have received higher education and have been trained as the future leaders of the sect since they were young. No matter what their character is, these young people are meticulous in their performance during the great etiquette and are not picky.
But Ye Xiaochuan has been free-range since he was a child. He hates this kind of life now. Facing the big etiquette, the heads of the various sects dare not make the slightest move. They can only look at others with the corner of their eyes. But Ye Xiaochuan suddenly caught his attention.
Scratch your head and shake your head for a while
, a picture of late-stage ADHD.
Zui Taoist and Du Chun secretly pinched him several times from behind, but this boy was still very dishonest.
Duan Gong and Yan Gong in front of the big green tripod have already finished reciting the Emperor God Memorial on behalf of the emperor using a sentence similar to "Li Sao".
During this period, Ye Xiaochuan had already yawned more than a dozen times.
He didn't ask about heaven, ghosts and gods, he only asked about common people. This kind of etiquette was a kind of torture for him.
Seeing Duan Gong and Yan Gong stop reciting in front of him, Ye Xiaochuan was overjoyed, stretched out and said: "It's finally over!"
Du Chun, who was behind him, said in a low voice: "Don't move around. This is the first part of reciting the emperor's music. There are nine more parts to follow!"
When Ye Xiaochuan heard that there were still nine more steps, Ye Xiaochuan's legs went weak.
Just at this time, the big guys also started to kneel down and worship the sky. Ye Xiaochuan's legs softened and he knelt down.
After performing the nine prostrations and eighteen rites, the second step of raising the watch begins.
It was still Duan Gong and Yan Gong who presided over the grand ceremony.
Ye Xiaochuan was already desperate.
He thought to himself that there was plenty of food in ancient times? Otherwise, how could those ancient ancestors be so full and come up with so many torturous red tapes? Ye Xiaochuan's performance was very poor, and Qiankunzi, who seized the opportunity, began to treat Ye Xiaochuan
Xiaochuan attacked and said calmly: "A gentleman can have no fine clothes, but he must not be rude. Properity is the fundamental difference between the human race and the beast race. Those who are rude and disrespectful are no different from beasts. Ye Shaoxia is
How come Cangyun Sect’s rare talent makes people feel rude and disrespectful? Could it be that Cangyun Sect is a rude and disrespectful place?”
Just as Ye Xiaochuan was about to retaliate, he heard Yu Jizi beside him say: "Xiaochuan is still young and has a very free and easy temperament. Facing such a grand ceremony, it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes. Xiaochuan, why don't you apologize to your seniors?" Ye Xiaochuan
Xiaochuan immediately made a bow to his surroundings and said: "This kid has been fighting in the north and south for these years. He has been busy fighting against the enemies in the heaven. He doesn't have much time to learn our Chinese etiquette. Please don't blame me, seniors!"
