Chapter 443 When grievances are reported,
Chapter 444 Worship to Heaven and proclaim himself emperor
November 11th Yecheng Jianzhang Palace
It was raining for a few days before Ran Min was ready to ascend to the extreme and claim the throne for the national ceremony. It was strange that the weather gradually cleared up after Ran Min asked the gods for instructions.
On the day when Dengji was officially held, the air was fresh and the sun was shining. It was really a good day for people to smile and hold major events. Ran Min felt that it was a good sign that heaven was approving him to be emperor, so he boarded the altar beside Zhangshui River to be emperor.
The ceremony of proclaimed himself is extremely tedious and boring.
Since ancient times, China has been emphasizing "God’s Grant". Every uprising must have a title. After the establishment of the new dynasty, a national ceremony will be held. The procedures and rules in it are very complicated and must not be disrespectful, because it is a major event that affects the national movement.
In Chinese dynasties, monarchs were deeply influenced by the philosophy of "harmony between man and nature" and Confucian culture, which was also reflected in the national ceremony!
The emperor is chosen by heaven, and the national monarch calls himself "heaven"
The first thing Ran Min has to do is to "pray for heaven."
On that day, Ran Min wore a crown, which was cumbersome and gorgeous, filled with a solemn air and domineering crown!
Corona is a big kind of Han nationality.
However, the Han coat of arms is rich in Zhou rites, and its "elegant style" represents the Han cultural beliefs and customs.
Huangdi clothes are the earliest clothes with heraldry, that is, the two colors are opposite to each other.
And Ran Min is wearing a big Qiumian at this time.
With twelve crowns, there are six chapters, namely, single clothes, big fur, mysterious clothes, and six chapters, namely, sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and Chinese insects, embroidered algae, fire, pink rice, Zong Yi, flounder, and glutinous rice. There are twelve chapters, also known as twelve chapters.
Ran Min stepped onto the altar set on the bank of Zhangshui River in a step-by-step manner.
This altar is the altar of worship.
The Waqiu altar is dedicated to offering sacrifices to the Tiantai without building houses, and it is called "dew sacrifice".
There are seven groups of deities in the Qiuqiu altar, and each group of deities is made of azure satin as a temporary deity.
On the north side of the center stone of the layer, there is a memorial tablet of Emperor Tiandi on the front, and its gods are polygonal conical.
On the second floor, the east and west sides of the altar are subordinate-the moon, the sun, the stars and the tablets of clouds, rain, wind and thunder are rectangular; Jade, silk, whole cattle, whole sheep, whole tapir, wine, fruit and dishes are placed in front of the throne.
There are more than 700 sacrificial vessels and all kinds of ritual vessels alone.
On the east and west sides of the south steps of the Qiuqiu altar, there are more than 60 musical instruments composed of 16 kinds, such as braided chimes, chimes and cymbals, and the Shao music is arranged neatly and solemnly.
Ran Min immediately knelt down to worship a pair of pious and solemn appearance, and after three knocks and nine worships respectfully, he took the letter from the waiter on one side.
It is very complicated for an emperor not to be abdicated. For example, when Emperor Wei Wendi Cao Pi accepts the abdication of Emperor Han Xian, it is enough to do a few things, but Ran Min can’t be so perfunctory!
"Minister Ran Min prayed to Emperor Tiandi to change the Yin life of Jueyuan’s great country."
"Cunning Shi’s rebellion, the flow of poor soldiers and disasters, the slaughter of the city, the self-robbery, and the false reputation from Yongjia to Jinshi, the southward migration of Yiguan Nandu Temple, the overthrow of the Hu people into China, and the shackles of the Central Plains."
"Min’s life will be devoted to Jie Hu, and he will make great efforts to open up all directions to provide folk music for the people, so that they can have a sense of old age, and we will do our duty conscientiously, and we will not forget the legacy of our ancestors in the past dynasties, and we will not abandon our hearts to us."
"Today, Min Liguo, proclaimed the emperor and changed the dynasty, looked forward to heaven and earth’s blessing, and gave my people protection from the sword and soldiers, from Hu Lu’s harm to the good weather, and from the good harvest of grain to the prosperity of the country and the people’s safety! ……”
After offering sacrifices to heaven, Ran Min offered sacrifices to the earth, that is, "praying for the earth".
This is a land where human beings are born and raised.
Although the concept of heaven, earth and man is broad, the object of prayer and sacrifice is very specific
Therefore, all dynasties have to "establish a country", which has become synonymous with the country.
"She" refers to the "land god" and "Ji" refers to the "grain god"
Because China has been a farming society since ancient times, the land is the foundation of the country, and the sacrifice of the "state" is the most important thing. Generally, the altar is covered with five colors of "green, white, red, black and yellow" in the east, west, south, north and middle directions of the altar, which is the so-called five-color soil.
According to the Taoist theory, the oriental Etwood is green, the western heptyl is white, the southern part is red, the northern part is black, and the central part is yellow.
This symbolizes the unification of the whole country and the whole world.
So Ran Min ran back to Jianzhang Palace from the bank of Zhangshui River, where he worshipped heaven, and his entourage were also subjects and messengers from all over the world.
Ran Min Dong Qiaoqiao stayed with twelve white horses pulling the carriage and staring at each other.
Dong Qiaoqiao is very clever to beat Ran Min’s legs and smile. "Is the king tired?"
Ran Min stretched his muscles and said, "It’s a good thing that my bones are tough, otherwise I really can’t stand such a toss!"
"Everything will be fine after today," Dong Qiaoqiao said with relief.
"King, there are several steps? Are you almost finished? "
Ran Min shook his head and said, "It’s still a long way to go. First, sacrifice to heaven and earth, but also sacrifice to ghosts."
"Your majesty, the male and female servants who worship heaven and earth know this, but what is this ghost?"
"Sacrificing ghosts is three things to sacrifice ancestors to be emperors, and the third thing is to sacrifice ghosts!"
Ran Min said lightly, "Besides heaven and earth, there is also the worship of ghosts, that is, offering sacrifices to ancestors. Because the blood of emperors is born of mothers, the founding of the People’s Republic of China has become a great cause. You can’t forget that the third thing is to offer sacrifices to ancestors! These three things are essential for a fixed procedure: one is to pray for good weather, the other is to pray for good harvests on the earth, and the third is to pray for eternal ancestors! "
Smell speech Dong Qiaoqiao slightly nodded and said, "This male and female servant has heard that it is really essential." The Confucius Language says that’ the number of ancestors who set up the country according to the king’s land is close to each other. How many is it?’ The male and female servants almost forgot. "
When Ran Min heard this, he couldn’t help but admire Dong Qiaoqiao and said, "What a coincidence! You are making fun of me!"
"However, it is indeed an essential link to offer sacrifices to ancestors. It is said that no matter how small a country is, its monarch must set up seven temples. For example, after Sun established his inheritance in Jiangdong, he set up the’ ancestral temple’ in Changsha, the birthplace of Sun Shi. He actually dug up the tomb of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, and borrowed the coffin board of the dead, which also made an anecdote about the history of ancestral temples and the history of grave robbery!"
"Male and female servants heard from Qin Mu that the ceremony of the king’s country was quite like that of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang."
"It’s more complicated than Liu Bang!" Ran Min couldn’t help but have a look of bitterness. "In those days, Liu Bang was a confidant minister of Liu Bang in the state of Si Shui, and Shu Suntong and his gang set up an altar for Liu Bang on the south bank of Si Shui, and held a ceremony to tell the sky and a ceremony to worship the ground. It didn’t see how complicated it was!"
Without saying much, Ran Min got into the chariot and prayed for the land, and then went to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors.
Sacrificing ancestors is in the ancestral temple, which is also the root of the founding of the country.
Ancient emperors must set up "seven temples" to build seven temples to worship their ancestors respectively.
First of all, the seven temples are the "four-parent temple", which is dedicated to the great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather and father, and the second temple is dedicated to the great-grandfather’s father and grandfather, and finally the "ancestral temple", a total of seven temples.
