At this moment, it happened to be the annual grand sacrificial event. Everyone in the whole town came to the river one after another, setting up a luxurious sacrificial platform here, preparing tributes for the sacrificial offering. At the same time, every household also prepared gold and silver belongings.
Prepare to dedicate it to the local lord Xiong Lan!
Accompanied by the melody played by the erhu and suona from the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Lan, dressed in luxurious clothes, stepped on the red carpet and came to the river step by step.
As Xiong Lan advanced, everyone except the Han people knelt down and worshiped on the ground. Those closest to the red carpet were naturally the Brahmin and Kshatriya castes, followed closely by the Veyron and Sudra castes, and finally
On the outside are slaves and untouchables.
At the sacrificial platform, there were a lot of Han people sitting there. All of these Han people moved to Ning State and were then rewarded in this small city by Ning State.
Xiong Lan was a scholar and an official of Ning State, so Xiong Lan supported and completed the annual sacrificial activities.
What he needs to do is also very simple,
That is to write a sacrificial text on the spot praying for good weather and abundant grains, then recite it loudly to everyone, and then put it on the sacrificial platform and burn it to express your appeal to the gods.
This event is very sacred and solemn, and it is also the most important festival of the year.
In order to rule this vast continent and its huge population, Ning State improved the original caste system and placed the Han people in the highest caste, called the descendants of the gods, with the most noble status. As for the other castes, all other castes were ranked the highest.
Caste of gods descendants serve.
This new caste system was strongly opposed by Brahmins and Kshatriyas at first, but Ning Guo's butcher's knife would not talk too much to them.
After a series of killings, all the Brahmins and Kshatriyas had to accept this fact, and they had to brainwash themselves to maintain all this.
In order to consolidate this system, Ningguo also formulated a detailed caste bill to legally establish this system. At the same time, it also made extensive religious changes to confirm the identity and status of the Ming people.
In the original Hinduism, Brahmins were in charge of sacrifices and the spokesperson of God, while Kshatriyas were in charge of military affairs and had the highest status. However, now, Brahmins are servants and stewards who serve the people of God, and Kshatriyas have become
The main government servants, officialdom, petty officials and the like in Ningguo are not allowed to be officials.
As for the Vedras and Sudras, they are still engaged in agriculture and labor. Slaves and untouchables are naturally at the bottom and cannot own their own land and property, making them the most humble existence.
However, in order to ease the contradictions in the caste system and alleviate the slave conflicts, Ningguo made some corresponding changes and slightly allowed caste changes.
It is possible for lower castes to want to become high castes, but the conditions are very difficult. In addition to suffering hardships in this life and being reborn into a high caste family in the next life, they can also learn the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty through hardships and hardships for several generations.
And so on, to improve one's caste accordingly.
As for slaves, in addition to reincarnation in the next life, as long as they can make great contributions to King Ning in this life or live to the age of sixty, they can also become Shudras.
This caste system is extremely complicated, and its core is to consolidate the status and rule of the Ming people here.
For this reason, Ningguo has also specially created some festivals, and carried out sacrifices and other activities through specific festivals, constantly erecting this concept to everyone and deepening the caste system into it.
Da Vinci, as a distinguished guest invited by Xiong Lan, also sat next to the altar.
He looked at the dark crowd kneeling on the ground in front of him. The number was very large, tens of thousands of people, almost filling the entire river bank.
"Pathetic Tianzhu people!"
"Since ancient times, we have been constantly conquered by others, constantly surrendering to a nation that has a strong tribe and civilization, and has created a glorious Tianzhu civilization. But now it has become the most humble existence, a pariah!"
Da Vinci couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It has been a while since he came to Tianzhu. During this time, he has studied in detail the art, culture, mathematics, etc. of Tianzhu.
He was surprised to find that the civilization here in Tianzhu is very glorious and splendid. In history, many glorious civilizations and countries were born in this vast land.
Tianzhu people have made extremely profound achievements in religion, mathematics, philosophy, astronomy and cosmology, especially in the fields of ideological philosophy and cosmology. Da Vinci was also deeply amazed by it.
However, now, for such a nation that once created a glorious civilization, they are untouchables. Although they are huge in number, they can only kneel on the outermost edge and are not even qualified to get closer to the sacrificial altar.
Even now, these untouchables are not even qualified to study. They are all ignorant and ignorant. Just thinking about it makes people sigh.
Going back to the roots to understand the history and culture of Tianzhu, everything is caused by the caste system in front of us.
The Aryans invaded Tianzhu, and their number was very small. In order to consolidate their rule, the Aryans invented the caste system, and combined it with religion to deeply imprint it on this ancient continent.
Over the course of thousands of years, the caste system has become deeply rooted in people's hearts and affects everything here.
People are convinced of this, without even a trace of doubt. They believe that the difficulties in this life must be endured. Only by enduring hardship in this life can they be reincarnated into a high-caste family and enjoy it in the next life.
They also firmly believe that the reason why high-caste people are able to enjoy everything now is because they experienced countless difficulties in their previous lives, so they have the enjoyment in this life.
Therefore, people with a high level of sex should enjoy themselves and have no worries about food and clothing. Lower castes are born to serve people of higher castes, work as cattle and horses for them, and suffer all kinds of hardships, so that they can become high castes in the next life.
This is such a ridiculous theory, but it is the supreme truth on this continent.
Even the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot violate the caste system, they can only improve it, elevate the status of the people of the Ming Dynasty to the highest level, and continue to play with this caste system.
Da Vinci was meditating and lamenting for these Tianzhu people.
Here, Xiong Lan came to the sacrificial altar and had already prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Xiong Lan wrote a sacrificial text with a flourish of ink, and then read it loudly to everyone. After reading it aloud, he sent it to the bronze cauldron on the sacrificial platform and burned it.
Obviously, these are also sacrificial elements from the Ming Dynasty, and they were perfectly transported.
It is completely different from the traditional Brahmin sacrifice, and it was specially done by Ningguo. The purpose is to highlight the dignity of the Ming Dynasty people.
Brahmins now have no right to speak on behalf of the gods, nor do they have the right to preside over sacrificial activities. They are just servants and housekeepers of the Ming Dynasty. Matters related to the sacrificial activities are prepared by the Brahmins, and matters related to the caste system and gods are also handled by the Brahmins on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone preaches, but the content is written by the people of Ming Dynasty.
After the sacrifice, it was time to offer treasures. Starting from the Brahmins and Kshatriyas, everyone lined up to contribute their treasures to the gods according to the caste system.
The more you contribute, the more pious you are, and the more you go through hardships, the more discipline you will have when you are reincarnated into a higher caste in your next life.
As for the Ming people on the stage, they don't have to do anything. They just need to wait and finally accept everyone's offerings on behalf of the gods.
This is the current caste system in Ningguo. The Ming people in the highest caste live a life of superiority and are noble beings. Not just anyone is qualified to kiss the feet of the Ming people. Only the Brahmin Kshatriyas are qualified.
Talent is qualified.
"Ideological imprisonment is the most terrible imprisonment!"
"Just like the medieval church that imprisoned people's thoughts and concepts, the long years were filled with darkness and no light!"
"The same is true in Tianzhu now. Under the caste system, this place is in darkness. The literature, philosophy, art, etc. left behind in the past will lose their color and their inheritance will be cut off. It is really sad, lamentable, and a pity!"
Da Vinci watched the scene in front of him silently, unable to stop sighing in his heart.
He was one of the three heroes of the Renaissance. He paid special attention to ideological liberation and the value of human beings. He was human-centered rather than God-centered. He advocated the liberation of individuality and opposed ignorant theological thoughts.
Seeing the ignorant scene in front of him, he really felt sad for the Tianzhu people. We provide you with the fastest update of Ming Zhenhai King, Chapter 1637, the sad Tianzhu people are free to read.
