Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chongli was waiting for Wu to come back to Hongzhou, and during this period of time, under the supervision of Di Fangxun, Yan Zai took the cattle and sheep to the edge of the river, and prepared things according to the etiquette system of ancient times.

    At this time, the time is in the afternoon, and this is also one of the rules before dusk.

    ? How to make a ceremony when it is not in the evening?

    "Book of Rites¡¤Jing Annotation" has a saying: "The son-in-law greets him when he is in a coma, and the wife follows him. Therefore, the son-in-law is called fainting, and the wife is called marriage."

    This is the origin of "marriage".

    In ancient times, from Fuxi Shennong, to Huangdi Chiyou, to Zhuanxu Emperor Ku, from Yao, Shunyu to Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties Ever since Fuxi established the marriage system in the legend, there has been the most basic ritual  The etiquette system of later generations has been perfected and strengthened by the kings of later generations

    "The Analects of Confucius Weizheng": [Zi Zhang asked: "Can we know the ten generations?" Zi said: "The profit and loss of the Yin due to the Xia Li can be known. The profit and loss of the Zhou can be known because of the Yin Li. It may follow the Zhou.  , even through a hundred generations, it can be known.¡±]

    Here it is about Zi Zhang asking Confucius: "Can the etiquette system of the next ten generations be known in advance?"

    Confucius replied: "The Shang Dynasty inherited the etiquette system of the Xia Dynasty, and what was subtracted and what was added can be known; the Zhou Dynasty inherited the etiquette system of the Shang Dynasty, and what was abolished and what was added can also be known.  In the future, there will be a successor to the Zhou Dynasty, even after a hundred generations, it can be known in advance."

    Therefore, there is another "Tong Dian" that says: [The emperor's family began in the way of husband and wife, and the Fuxi family made marriages, using the ribbon as a gift; in the time of the five emperors, they must tell their parents when they marry; in summer, they welcome relatives in court;  Welcoming relatives in the hall; Zhou system, limited to the age of men and women, when the marriage is fixed, the six etiquettes of the people are prepared.  ¡¿

    Here it is again:

    The concept of husband and wife appeared for the first time during the reign of Emperor Renhuang. During the reign of Fuxi, buckskins (two pieces) were used as dowry gifts. During the reign of the Five Emperors, parents were required to notify their parents when they married a wife.  During the Shang Dynasty, the relatives were greeted in a tall house. In the Zhou Dynasty, when men and women were at the right age, they agreed on the date of marriage

    By the time of Shun, there was already a very regular set of procedures. For example, one of the unwritten rules was that you must come to the edge of a stream when welcoming your relatives.

    In ancient times, the regulations for welcoming relatives were very simple. It was only necessary to bring cattle, sheep and food to the edge of a water stream, while the woman had to wait early at the edge of the water stream. At the agreed place, the man would meet the woman.  , and then sang a song, and fell into a coma on the edge of the water.

    The next step is the bride price, but Di Fangxun is a generous and rich father-in-law, and Yuzai was very moved when he heard that Chonghua got a bunch of reverse bride price from his father-in-law.

    This is also a famous event. When Shun married his wife, the dowry was fully refunded, and Emperor Yao paid part of it backwards. Now that it is here at Azai, it seems that the backward payment is even more serious.

    Di Fangxun has already prepared a bunch of things. Of course, most of his goods are in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to bring them, so he has prepared a lot of wooden signs for exchange, just like food stamps and oil stamps

    When the princes came to a distant place, Di Fangxun spoke to the elderly members of the sightseeing group, saying that today my daughter got married by the river, which is a great joy.  up.

    Yanzai came here and saw Ehuang who had been waiting for a long time.

    Simple and simple, there is no one asking for a lottery, no one blocking the car, that is the custom of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, some ministers said that this rule was not good, so that the hooligans and bullies would come out to make trouble; there was no scatter of grain beans, which appeared in the Song Dynasty  folklore.

    Everything was already prepared, the sun began to set in the sky, the twilight light appeared faintly, the water was gurgling, the river flowed towards the east, and the light of the setting sun fell at the end of the river, far away to the other side of the mountains  .

    In the Tianhe, the fiery gods are about to fall. In the world of this hometown, outside the distant giant city, on the bank of the river flowing eastward, from the markets and villages where the smoke is curling up, the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking  , the sound of people shouting to each other, the low sound of cattle and sheep, like a distant and hazy ancient dream.

    Therefore, both men and women should sing the songs of etiquette and agreement together.

    "Qianqian, Mingqian, Laoqian,? Qianqian."

    The voice is not very pleasant, and the lyrics are even a little unclear.

    However, the ballad is the oldest original agreement. This agreed song of faint love was developed from the behavior of birds, observed by people, integrated into life, and then sung and eulogized.

    This songsaid:

    [The birds fly together, the male and the female sing in unison, sometimes encouraging each other, sometimes raising their wings to attract.  ¡¿

    ðÏ, Tongqian in ancient times, is the image of a flying bird, and its meaning is "lovebird".

    There are no more extra steps, people are facing west, the light of dusk has completely descended, the peaceful voice of all spirits in the world, and the birds are singing along.

    "Under the sky, the birds are singing in harmony. This is because it is getting dark, and the female birds guarding the grass nest, guarding the eggs that have just been born, are calling to go out to look for birds at the end of spring.  Birds that eat, I hope they come back soon."

    After singing the song, Yuzai pointed to the birds in the sky and said so.

    Many of people's behaviors are transformed from animal behaviors. These primitive behaviors gradually changed from barbarism to civilization, and etiquette was born In nature, male birds court female birds  When I go to bed, I will also bring some gifts, some are bugs, some are tail feathers, and some are real estate (exquisite nests).

    So, in the sky, facing the light of dusk, the male birds flew back from the mountains. They flapped their wings and descended to the other end of the western mountains and landed in their own grass nests.

    So!

    Put all the golden rays of light into the down feathers, wrap them in the chest between men and women, the clouds will become red, the earth, mountains and rivers will be reflected golden, and the whole world will become resplendent and resplendent. This is an era of enthusiasm.

    In ancient times, there should have been passionate men who shot bows and arrows, rode on oxen and horses, and snatched away the shy, beautiful woman with flushed cheeks.

    It's getting late when the evening bird returns to its nest.

    The most beautiful color in the world, Yuzai brought Ehuang to the ceremony here. In the witness of the people, the woman's cheeks, from crimson to pink, gradually dimmed

    Although the time of dusk has passed, the "sun" is still relentlessly occupying most of the "night sky".  After the rays of light, it is impossible to distinguish the origin, so the night after the sunset faded, took on a bright blush.
