"Zuo Zhuan" says: "The great affairs of the country are sacrifices and wars." Sacrifice to heaven and earth and ancestors was an important activity of the ancients in Middle-earth, and it also conforms to the ancients' thoughts of respecting heaven and marital ancestors.

This day.

The wind is bright and the cloudless, and the sun shines on the earth.

The lush Han Dynasty temples, surrounded by a century-old forest, have no silence in the past and ushered in the most glorious day.

Tens of thousands of imperial guards entered martial law the day before.

On this day of sacrifice, footsteps rumbled and kept ringing.

First, tens of thousands of servants stood with various flags and umbrellas, and stood all over the path.

The musicians followed, and the largest number of instruments were the horns and chimes.

In the city, Qingshuipo Street, Yellow Sand Pad, and the red carpet shop in the middle of the road were paved from the palace to the ancestral temple.

Thousands of people are empty.

Millions of people in the city flocked to the streets.

When Emperor Xian of Han appeared, the ancient and solemn ritual music sounded, hundreds of thousands of people worshiped by the roadside, calling long live, and resounding throughout the sky.

Before the Holy Driving, the only one was Yuan Shao, riding a sophomore 28 bicycle.

People are in awe of it, which is really the first mount from ancient times to the present.

Only Yuan Tan looked strange.

This bicycle is also unique to the world and is Yuan Shao’s favorite mount. It is usually not easy to ride.

In this way, Yuan Shao Niu Pi rode his bicycle boom and, under the admiration of people, took Emperor Xian of Han to the ancestral temple all the way.

"Long live my emperor."

"My king is thousands of years old and thousands of years old."

This time, tens of thousands of elite soldiers worshipped on the roadside, and the flags were even more like clouds.

The musicians blew a melodious and solemn horn to welcome the arrival of the king.

The ancestral temple sacrifice is the product of worship of ancient ancestors in Middle-earth.

The dwellings built by people in the world for the dead are ancestral temples.

The Zhou Li ancestral temple system generally believes that the emperor's seven temples, three Zhao and three Mu are combined with the Taizu's temple to form seven. The so-called Zhao and Mu refer to the arrangement of the middle ancestral temples. From the ancestors below, the father is called Zhao and the son is called Mu, and they are arranged according to the age of the divine.

It has been used to this day in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Emperor Liu Xie of Han was the first to walk into the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty.

Following this is Yuan Shao.

Yuan Tan was the third one, and then everyone entered in one after another.

Yuan Tan has not been to this Han Dynasty ancestral temple for a long time. In his opinion, this is a huge courtyard.

The innermost is the big north house facing north and south, with east and west wings on both sides.

The layout is like this, it is rectangular, and the innermost temple is the largest, called Taimiao. The Taimiao of Taimiao actually refers to Taizu, so it is Taizu's temple.

From the First Empress and the Founding Emperor, they were all called Taizu.

There are exceptions because the father of the founding emperor is still there, such as Liu Bang, who had to become a Emperor Gaozu.

The other three Zhaos and Sanmus, the three temples to the west are Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han.

The three temples in the east are Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ling of Han, and Emperor Shao of Han.

Corresponding to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty.

Emperor Guangwu was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Emperor Ling of Han and Emperor Shao of Han were the fathers and brothers of Emperor Liu Xie.

Therefore, Liu Xie also had selfish intentions in establishing Emperor Ling of Han and Emperor Shao of Han in the ancestral temple.

Yuan Shao didn't care about this matter either. After all, Emperor Ling of Han was a foolish monarch, and Emperor Shao of Han was also a local lord. Establishing them in the ancestral temple would make the people have opinions, which would be beneficial to the Yuan family's usurpation of the throne.

Three Zhaos and Three Muses combined with the Taizu Temple into seven. There were at most seven rituals in this period, and there were no more. However, in all dynasties, when there were more than seven dead emperors, they would "destroy the temple", which means they would replace them in a cycle.

The status of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang's Taimiao was unshakable, and the Western Han Dynasty had the rule of Wen and Jing.

Therefore, you can also understand the choices of Sanzhao and Sanmu except Taimiao.

...

The ancient ancestral temples, especially the royal family, were very grand and cumbersome.

When the emperor sacrificed his sacrifice, he used pure fur color to sacrifice cows. The princes should use specially fed sacrifice cows, while the doctors chose ordinary cows, while the scholars only used sheep and pigs.

The descendants of illegitimate descendants cannot preside over the sacrifice, and the sacrifice must be told to the eldest son.

The lord of the temple is a wooden rectangular piece and is only placed during sacrifices. The sacrifice cannot be called by its name.

The cow is called the 'Yiyuan Dawu'.

The pig is called "Gangli", which is also the origin of the secular name of Zhu Bajie in later generations.

The pig is called 'Bound fat'.

Sheep are called 'puberulent'.

Chicken is called 'Hanyin'.

Dogs are called "Tengxian".

Pheasant is called "sparse toes".

Rabbits are called "Bright Sight".

Dried meat is called "Yin Ji".

Dried fish is called the 'Shang Festival'.

Fresh fish are called ‘boat festival’.

Water is called 'cleaning'.

Wine is called "clear drink".

Millet is called "Xianhe".

Liang is called "Xianqi".

Ji is called "Mingcai".

Rice is called 'Jia Vegetable'.

The leek is called "Fengben".

Salt is called ‘salted sausage’.

Jade is called ‘Jiayu’.

Coins are called ‘quantity coins’.

From this, you can find many things that can be corresponding to later generations.

The offering is placed on the rectangular Lord of God.

Behind the Lord of God was a huge cauldron, with a cauldron as big as a room, and the incense rose. It was said that the sun shone and the incense burner produced purple smoke.

Woo woo...

The ancient and long and solemn horn sounded again.

The serious atmosphere makes everyone present feel awe and proud.

The Han Dynasty came from here for four hundred years and was unified again, with great achievements comparable to the founding Emperor Gaozu and the rejuvenation of Guangwu.

Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, was very excited. He held three huge incense sticks and knelt on the ground first.

Immediately afterwards, there were Yuan Shao and his son, then civil and military ministers, then soldiers from all directions, and then flag bearers.

The musicians of the chimes were all pounding their blood, and their cheeks that were blowing the horns were bulging and red.

In ancient times, there was "nine bows" for rituals.

"The Literature of Zhou·Chun Guan·Tai Zhu": "Discribing the nine bows, one is to bow the head, two is to pause the head, three is to empty the head, four is to vibrate, five is auspicious bow, six is ​​to bad bow, seven is to strange bow, eight is to praise bow, and nine is to worship the right sacrifice."

After bowing, kneeling down, putting your hands on the ground, bowing your head to the ground, and staying for a while is the most important thing in the worship.

The head is the lead to the ground, and it starts after a moment of pause.

The hollow head is to hold the ground with both hands, and the lead is to the hand without touching the ground.

These three worships are just worship.

Vibration means that two hands are fighting each other, vibrating their bodies and worshiping them.

A good bow is to bow first and then sniff, and then touch the ground with your forehead.

A bad bow is to bow first and then bow again, and the expression is serious when the head touches the ground.

Qibai, first bow one knee and bow, also known as "Yabai".
