Chapter 12 We in the Song Dynasty do not kneel

(Please collect and recommend, I don’t want to fall off the list...)

-

Facing Chen Xiliang's stop, Chen Sanlang was a little stunned. Moved and apologetic, he overcame the boss's psychological barrier and entered the role of Sanlang... In his opinion, when the ancients expressed repentance in front of their parents, they would definitely have to do so.

Kneel down. If you don't kneel down and say "I was wrong" standing up, it will probably be like whistling to your father in future generations and saying, "Why are you so angry?" and you will be beaten flat.

But why did Chen Xiliang react so strongly? It was as if he had lost his place as an adult. Didn’t people kneel down in ancient times? Isn’t that how it was played in TV dramas? Help, why am I acting like an idiot...I was raped as a child in my previous life

Brother Chen Sange, who boasted so much, was ready to kill him with a piece of tofu.

In fact, I don't blame him, because the TV drama directors didn't know that Chinese people didn't kneel in the Song Dynasty.

Kneeling was practiced before the Song Dynasty, but the ancients 'sit on the ground', that is, kneeling, also called sitting upright, which is a sitting posture with both knees on the ground. From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, kneeling was a sitting ceremony, expressing gratitude and respect for sitting.

, kneel down, just like bowing down when standing.

But at that time, it was equal to bow to each other. The so-called "it is not polite to come and go". The king and the officials were also equal, and they all met in a kneeling posture. They only prioritized and did not distinguish between superior and inferior. Unless they were worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth.

, is a unilateral prostration, and that is also because heaven, earth and the dead cannot return the favor.

In the Song Dynasty, high-legged seats, stools and chairs, completely replaced short-legged seats, and upright sitting was abandoned. As a by-product of upright sitting, the "kneeling ceremony" also changed its taste, making the etiquette of kneeling to each other asymmetrical. The person sitting is high, kneeling

People in the Song Dynasty thought this was full of humiliation. In addition to worshiping ancestors, heaven and earth, it was only used when surrendering and confessing.

Who should kneel? Slaves and criminals! For ordinary people, the king of heaven and earth, the master and the master, they only need to kneel to the second place, that is, when they meet the monarch... people in the Song Dynasty affectionately called them 'officials'... and they only need to bow.

Not to mention the relatives and teachers later...

As for when did the Chinese have the kneeling ceremony? I would like to sincerely thank Yelu Chucai of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty for his invention. The Mongols originally had a weak concept of respect and inferiority. This genius Yelu brother decided to correct this with the kneeling ceremony.

When Ogedai ascended the throne, he said to Chagatai: "Although you are the brother of the Great Khan, in terms of status, you are a minister and should kneel down to the Great Khan. If you take the lead in kneeling, no one will dare to do so.

No worship." So, Chagatai led the Mongolian tribes to kneel down and worship the Great Khan Ogedai. From then on, the kneeling ceremony could not be accepted in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It changed from the most solemn thank-you ceremony in China to a greeting ceremony, and became more and more popular.

The more I kneel, I will kneel frequently. When I see someone with a higher rank, I will kneel down. I will weaken my knees when I kneel down. I will lose my integrity when I kneel down...

As the saying goes, "There is no China after Yashan," the origin of kneeling is the most important aspect.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saburo didn't know where he went wrong, but he quickly realized that if in this case, he didn't have to kneel down to his father, he would probably have to kneel down on very few occasions in the future. Maybe it was to kneel down to the emperor? Damn it.

, President of the country, it’s so far away. Saburo felt that it was unlikely that he would ever see the emperor in his lifetime.

In any case, he didn't have to kneel down at every turn, which suddenly made him feel much better about this evil old society.

The good thing is that there are mistakes. Chen Xiliang was shocked by him. He thought that the child had realized his mistakes deep in his soul and actually confessed to himself in a confessional manner.

There are seven things that a gentleman teaches his children not to do. The so-called "do not take responsibility for others, do not take responsibility for regrets, do not take responsibility for late nights, do not take responsibility for eating and drinking, do not take responsibility for celebrations, do not take responsibility for sorrow and sorrow, and do not take responsibility for illness." He originally planned to turn around and reprimand him severely.

This lawless boy, of course, had to change his approach this time, and said in a gentle tone: "Sanlang, remember, people keep making mistakes throughout their lives, but there are some mistakes that must not be made. If you make one mistake, your life will be completely ruined."

Chen Sanlang accepted the teachings sincerely.

Korokuro beside him listened carefully, looked up at his father and said, "Then what mistake can you keep making?"

"You can't keep making any mistakes." Chen Xiliang touched Liulang's head lovingly and said softly: "The sage said, it is a mistake to make mistakes without correcting them. Do you remember?"

"Well, remember, I only make every mistake once." Rokuro said in a sweet voice.

"You brat, you will definitely be a naughty bag in the future." Chen Xiliang burst out laughing, feeling much less depressed.

At noon, Erlang came back. When he saw his third brother's sallow complexion, he naturally burst into tears.

"What are you talking about on the way? Find a big car." Chen Xiliang has already packed the things he wants to take away. In addition to the children's clothes and books, there are only a few daily necessities. But after all, it is a move, and he also wants to be a

It's heavy.

Chen Chen hurriedly went out with Dalang, and soon came back with a cart. The three of them were busy loading the parcel boxes into the cart. Sanlang wanted to help, but no one wanted to help him... Both his father and brother regarded him as a child.

, which made him particularly uncomfortable.

When he first came here, although he found that his body was ten years old, he had two younger children at that time who needed to be protected by himself, so he still felt that he was an adult. Now that his father and brother are back, he has also become a protected child.

I finally feel a psychological gap... This feeling is full of frustration and powerlessness of being ignored, which is really crazy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before leaving the Chen family, Chen Xiliang took his four sons to burn incense in front of the ancestral tablet. Sanlang learned the lesson this time. When he saw Erlang kneeling, he knelt down himself. He did whatever Erlang did, and finally no mistakes were made.

Kneeling in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet, holding up a stick of incense, Chen Xiliang's tears fell down his face. He heard him hiss: "In March of the fifth year of Qingli in the Song Dynasty, in March, Xiliang, an unworthy man, and Sun Chen, an unworthy man.

, Xun, Zhen, reported to the ancestors' spirits: "We were born in this land and grew up in this land, and we should worship our ancestors' spirits in the temple every day. Now that we have left our hometown, we cannot see my ancestors day and night, and we cannot worship our ancestors during the festivals."

This move is unfaithful and I have no choice but to beg my ancestors for forgiveness..." At this point, Chen Xiliang burst into tears. Chen Sanlang could not understand this emotion, but he could understand it from another angle... This should be a very important issue.

Now that my power has been taken away, I naturally feel uncomfortable.

"The unworthy man swears an oath today. Starting from Chen Xiliang, my descendants will not return to their hometown unless they succeed!" When he was distracted, he missed Chen Xiliang's previous words, but he did not miss the last and most important content: "When will Wenzhong become a Jinshi and Wu become the governor?

Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan!"

Before Sanlang could take a breath, Erlang began to repeat his father's oath. When he said something, the brothers would follow suit. Even the youngest Liulang had a solemn look on his face, not as charming as usual.

After taking the children to swear an oath in front of the ancestor's spirit, Chen Xiliang turned around and walked out, tremblingly pushed the cart and left, never looking at his ancestral home again.

In the main hall, Chen Xishi witnessed everything that had just happened through the ajar door. No one could be seen until he turned back gloomily and said to himself: "If the second brother gets rich in the future, how will he face it?"

good?"

"Developed, bah..." Mrs. Hou was still wrapped like a rice dumpling, and said with disdain: "I heard people say that those in Zhongguan are all 'Wenqu stars' in the sky! Counting eight lifetimes ago, your Chen family has produced one

Official?"

"Nonsense, I asked your husband to take a look at it." Chen Xishi hated her indiscriminate attack and said, "My Chen family's feng shui is excellent. This generation will produce high-ranking officials."

"Then you're going to chase him away?" Hou believed these things the most.

"Nonsense, my son is also studying!" Chen Xishi finally revealed his most secret thoughts: "Who did you hear to say that whose family can produce two officials in a row? What if he wins? What will Da Lang do?

If they drive the whole family away, if there is no elder brother, there will still be four young men, and it will always fall on us."

"How clever!" Ms. Hou finally convinced her man. He was too scheming. She groaned: "If the Chen family can have an official, it must be my son. Look at Dalang and Silang, they are all good.

The blessings of Big Ear are not as sharp as those of the second child, so he should take a look at them by himself! He’s just trying to eat the swan’s shit!” As he said this, he remembered something again and said worriedly: “Are you sure they’re gone?

, the Chen family’s style belongs to us?”

"Idiots, the five of them, father and son, have no special skills. They just hold a pile of IOUs that cannot be exchanged for money. It would be nice if they don't starve to death. They are still thinking about the examination room. They want to eat swan meat!"

"It's really amazing..." Mrs. Hou was full of praise. She was completely impressed by her man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Dalang and Silang saw each other off, Chen Xiliang and his son boarded a cargo ship bound for Leshan. The ship would spend the night in Qingshen County, which was also the destination of their father and son.

The ship sailed away from Shiwan Village and took one last look at the vegetation of his hometown. Chen Xiliang lowered his eyelids, lay down in the cabin and fell asleep soundly. He didn't close his eyes all day and all night, and he was rushing to move. He was really exhausted.

Among his four sons, Erlang coaxed Liulang to play, while Wulang stayed with Sanlang quietly, because he found that the third brother was much more silent than usual...

Chen Sanlang and Chen Keding stared at the distant bamboo sea, feeling uncomfortable at all. Now he has realized that he should have traveled through time? But why do others become omniscient and omnipotent as soon as they travel through time, as if they have turned on a cheating device?

Just as invincible. In my previous life, except for being impulsive at times, I was no worse than anyone else. Why did I look so ignorant, useless, and an idiot when I returned to the Song Dynasty?

It's only been a few days, and he was almost assassinated and sent into the army, and he had to rely on a cheap dad to save him at the expense of his fortune. This time he escaped, but what about next time? Even this dad won't be able to do anything next time...

The road ahead was confused, and Chen Sanlang was filled with sorrow. As the sun set over the western mountains, Qingshen County was right in front of him.
