Sweep the World

The history of a nation is the heritage of that nation, and it is an unimaginable wealth. How much history the nation has, and what happened in the history, any event will give future generations enough reference.

Because of the long history, the development of a nation will inevitably extend a variety of cultures. Of course, the progress of society is the general direction. What kind of survival method is also one of the diversified etiquettes that are born in survival.

Zhu Xia civilization developed its own "ritual" during the Zhou Dynasty. From that time, it was emphasized what kind of identity should have matching etiquette, and the aspects of cultivation, ethics, and morality were gradually improved.

The high level of a country can generally reflect the comprehensiveness of etiquette, and the nobility is the most representative group among them. They constitute a country's external display, and in some respects, on some occasions, they represent the country.

What kind of etiquette should be, it is basically a manifestation of a nation’s spiritual outlook, allowing the foreign races with whom it communicates to see the individuality of the nation.

Huan Wen and other people in dresses are expressing themselves to the Persians. The discipline they show is one aspect. The set of words and deeds makes the Persians see a part of the civilization of Zhu Xia, including the civilization of Zhu Xia The gentleness and elegance brought by "li" and the masculinity of being a martial artist are not at all contradictory to the Persians.

Persians actually have their own national personality, and of course they also have their own rituals, but today is a religious ceremony. There is very little about the Persian national personality, and more of it belongs to the color of Zoroastrianism.

"Why is there a chain on the nose?" Li Mai has been busy commanding naval operations, and he has never personally contacted the Persians before: "It's like a big man with a cow wearing a nose."

Persians really like to pierce their noses and wear chains, and they also like to wear some loops on their ears and cheeks. This is a custom from BC, extending a very special aesthetic.

In fact, there are not many ethnic groups who like to make piercings on their bodies. Although Persians have a "piercing" culture, the Persians often use the "clip" style. Asana is called a must-wear for wearing.

Today, the Persians and Asan have played a new height in the culture of "piercing". For example, women of a certain class are forced to pierce the **** organs and organs, and the **** and rings are just basics. It's beyond imagination. This kind of culture is actually passed on, and many people in modern times do so in order to increase their interest.

The Persians and Asan actually have one thing in common. They are extremely fond of using precious metals to show their wealth. People with a bit of identity will be like a moving treasure house of gold, with some brightly colored gems embellishing them.

Then again, in fact, people in Zhuxia also like to use valuables as decorations, but the upper class does not display gold or silver, but uses various jade products.

Because Zhu Xia likes jade extremely, jade culture extends quite a lot of truths, for example, jade represents gentleman is one of them. What I want to say is that a piece of excellent jade has a very high value. Many people who wear jade are walking around with boxes of gold.

"What kind of gem is that?" Megapanos saw that everyone in the high-ranking Han country had a jade pendant on their skirts, and looked at the beauty without gems before asking.

Alta Bama Cistios really knew what it was, and knew the role of the jade pendant, so he said: "It's an accessory that presses down the skirt to prevent the skirt from rising up high."

In today's world, most countries wear skirts regardless of men and women, but the skirts are higher or lower. The group is divided into many types, mainly Zhuxia styles, Greek styles, and Persian styles.

The skirts of Zhu Xia are between Greece and Persia. The skirts of the Greeks go to the knees, the skirts of the Persians go to the heels, the skirts of the Greeks are really skirts, and the skirts of the Persians are more inclined to gowns. Why do you say that Zhu Xia's skirt is in the middle? Then, the dress of the Romans moved towards Hellenism after the annexation of Greece.

Compared with gems, jade is indeed inconspicuous in its color reflection. Jade is not even as good as jadeite. Jade conforms to the introverted civilizations of the Xia civilizations before it is deeply loved. The lack of love for jade in other civilizations is probably because of its lack of love. Doesn't show up?

In the eyes of the Persians, of course, the Han Chinese in dresses such as Huan Wen are gorgeous, and because of the style and the etiquette of words and deeds, there is a pleasing charm. There is one thing that is very puzzling to the Persians, that is, it is absolutely hard to see. Ornaments of gold or silver.

"Perhaps..." Megapanos guessed: "Because they have just been restored to the country not long ago, and every nobleman is still very poor?"

Therefore, the difference between national thinking and aesthetics is the same. Both Persians and Asan can’t wait to dress themselves up as a golden mobile library. They think that it is a kind of fashion beauty and can show off their wealth, but in the eyes of Han people, they are full of body. Gold is really vulgar.

Alta Bama Cistios had a special knowledge of what happened to the Han civilization, but most of what he knew belonged to the Western Han Dynasty, and lacked any channels to understand the Han Dynasty established by Liu Yan.

"Perhaps?" Alta Bama Cistios agreed with Megapanos's speculation, and said: "The Chinese have just reunited their country, and the news sent by His Royal Highness Aldashir mentioned many times in the country. Ruins all over the floor."

The royal family of Sassanids in Persia can be called His Royal Highness, which is different from that of the Central Plains civilization if the king is entitled to be called His Royal Highness. The titles in the Central Plains civilization have their own particulars. His Royal Highness was originally under the original temple level. Ministers who are not members of the royal family can be called Your Royal Highness as long as they are qualified to stand under the temple level. In addition, they are qualified to establish a palace. A person can also be called His Royal Highness, followed by Inbeidazun, who gradually became a respect for the queen, prince, and kings.

Persian civilization has no restrictions on buildings similar to those of the Xia civilization. Palaces can be built as long as they are rich, and the government will not interfere without rebelling against the flag. After all, because of the different vocabulary, anyone can be called His Royal Highness. It's just that your normal mind will not provoke the ruler.

With Huan Wen and others seated, Megapanos was about to stand up and say a few words to announce the beginning of the ceremony, but Huan Wen's preparations were obviously endless.

A team came to the gate of the Persian camp after Huan Wen and the others sat down. They drove a horse-drawn cart and were allowed to enter after being notified.

There were not many vehicles coming, so it was naturally impossible to drive them into the center of the ceremony. After parking outside, the soldiers filed in with their plates.

"The food of the Han Empire." Alta Bama Cistios was still very happy and said: "According to the etiquette of the Han Empire, guests should bring gifts when they visit. Huan Wen prepares food."

"..." Megapanos really hadn't seen a guest bring food to the host's house.

The Persians prepare many kinds of food. In addition to placing them at the table of each person with enough identity, they also place it at many long tables. The long table is not on the side of the observatory, but is placed on the periphery, and the food is prepared for ordinary people who come to enjoy.

The Han people who came over were busy, giving Megapanos more feeling of clamor and dominance. He opened his mouth many times to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Before Liu Yan had traveled, although Zhu Xia's dietary habits were diverse, they were inseparable from steaming and boiling. In fact, the concept of "stir-fry" was not born.

In terms of cooking condiments, the application of some Chinese medicinal materials has been used for a long time, and the cooking method "stewed" was born.

Liu Yan brought a "stir-fried" cooking method, and Han Guo discovered many kinds of spices in Nanyang. In the past two years, many dishes have been researched.

Zhu Xia also has his own etiquette when eating, which reflects the dining tools. The Han people are busy putting the dining tools first.

"What is that?" Megapanos couldn't understand the dining tools of the Central Plains Civilization, and pointed to the small tripod on Huanwen's table. Without an answer, he pointed to the tools on his table that were different from Huanwen's: "Why is he That, we are this?"

Except for Huan Wen, the Marquis was qualified to use the "ding". According to the dining specifications of Zhu Xia, no one was qualified to use the "ding" to serve food. As a result, everyone except Huan Wen used the "ding" to use the "cauldron", but the same There are charcoal fires under the base to provide heat.

The cauldron is a round-bottomed but not-footed utensil, which contains some stewed meat, and the aroma immediately diffuses after it is opened.

In addition to the opening of the kettle, there are also dining utensils such as retort, 鬲, pot, etc., which are all kinds of utensils with different shapes. For example, the retort is a very complicated utensil. It is connected with the hollowed-out grate to place food, and the steam in the retort is used to cook the food in the retort.

In addition to utensils of different shapes, daggers, chopsticks, beans, dishes, forks, etc. are readily available. The Persians are actually confused when they see a complete set of utensils and tableware.

The Persians prepared food and tableware. The food is actually a variety of cakes and meat. The tableware is a simple spoon, dagger, clamp, and fork. They didn't prepare soup, they replaced it with various wines.

"What is this for?" Megapanos was upset except for dazedness: "Dislike our food?"

Megapanos can’t help but think about it. There are so many kinds of food brought by the Han people. There are dozens of dry and soup types. Every one is pleasing to the eye, but it also has a nose. The smell is full of fragrant scent.

Alta Bama Cistios looked at the dazzling variety of food on his table, enduring the urge to swallow, and said: "His Royal Highness Aldahir wrote back a letter, mentioning the deliciousness of the Han Empire. The letter is full of praise."

Isn’t Megapanos talking about good food? He just didn't understand what the Han people meant, whether they came to mess up the field.

On the other side, when Huan Wen saw that what was needed was done, he first called "all the kings", then slowly stood up, and said loudly: "At this moment, the two countries meet here, how can there be no poetry?"

Before the Persians could react, all the Han people present stood up, bowed their hands to each other, and unanimously saluted Megapanos and Artabama Sistios, before the two of them had any. What response has already begun to sing.

"Yo Yo Lu Ming, Shi Ye Zhi Ping. I have guests, who will play the Sheng. Playing Sheng and Drum Springs, the basket is the general. The kind of person I am, shows me that I will walk around the week. Yo Yo Deer Ming, Artemisia of the Food Field. I have. Guest, Deyin Kong Zhao..."

That is from the "Deer Ming" in the "Book of Songs". It was originally a poem for the king to feast on the guests of his officials. The latter became the last welcome etiquette to receive guests. The more formal the occasion, the easier it is to hear the "Deer" "Ming" singing sound.

Persians don't understand Chinese, but they can hear the solemnity from the tune, but the tune is not static. This is the case when it is solemn, and more often it is full of joy and joy.

The language is different. If you don't understand, you don't understand, but music doesn't need too many languages. The tunes are actually universal.

The singing of "Lu Ming" stopped, Huan Wen took the lead to raise the wine jue, and the rest of the Han people raised the wine cups, and the Persians, who were influenced by the ancient tunes, also raised the wine container subconsciously.

Huan Wen drank: "Drink together!"

The Han raised the cup of wine in his hand and responded in unison: "Drinking saint!"

A group of Persians are probably dumbfounded. Some learned to shout "Drinking Saint" in a weird tone. Some followed the Han in a daze to raise an arm to make a cover. The Han had long sleeves, but the Persians did not. , Drink water and wine together.

Raising the arms and covering them with long sleeves is a kind of courtesy of the Central Plains civilization. The style of clothes plus a set of actions is actually part of the "civility".

While Alta Bama Cistios was looking at each other with Megapanos, Huan Wen had a new move.

Huan Wen waved his arms, and an attendant sent a basin for everyone who was qualified to sit down. After opening it, it was clear water.

Megapanos had stopped talking several times, and when he saw that the basin was filled with clear water, he looked at Huan Wen in a daze.

Of course, the water in the basin is not for drinking. In fact, some people will bring a kind of "gui", which is for diners to rinse their mouths and wash their hands. The meal program is from childhood to big, no matter what the action is, it fully carries the elegance that nobles should have.

Of the remaining Han people with titles, only a few have been exposed to the meal program since childhood, and most of them were temporarily trained not long ago.

The rhythm of the scene has been completely controlled by Huan Wen. Not all Han people are familiar with the dining procedure, but the Han people have at least some pre-training, and the Persians don't have this concept at all.

In fact, the Persians have been confused by the complicated dining etiquette. They dare not fool around because they don't understand. In order not to make jokes, they follow the Han who can see them.

"..."

Megapanos was already in a trance after being tossed for a while. He actually refused at the beginning. Later, he followed Huan Wen to make similar actions without reacting to it. Because of that complicated set of actions, he felt a good "high, big, and superior" in his mind.

Huan Wen was leading the "trend" on the one hand, and the corners of his mouth cocked when he saw the Persians "involuntarily" follow the learning process...
