Tang Dynasty Travel Guide Etiquette Chapter: Don't kneel down frequently, kneeling for a long time is considered rude: The Chinese nation is a country of etiquette, and people who are polite and civilized are very popular in Tang Dynasty society. If you don't greet your friends and just wave or tap on the shoulder, you will be regarded as a rude and uncultured person. When you meet the emperor, you don't need to call him "Long Live", just "Your Majesty". If you plop down on your knees and say: "Your Majesty is well!", Is that too spineless? And the emperor may not necessarily accept your favor. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many types of etiquette, including not only daily etiquette, but also festival etiquette, political etiquette, etc. Living in the Tang Dynasty, it will probably take you a long time to understand "how people salute" thoroughly. But don't ignore the etiquette. You still need to know the representative etiquette. Sometimes it is more convenient to kneel down People who lived longer than the Tang Dynasty did not have the tools to sit down, so "sitting" in their minds did not mean the same thing as "sitting" today. So what do you do when you want to take a break? You can do this by keeping your legs together, butt sitting on your heels, and your back straight. Okay, this is roughly the "kneeling" movement of yoga. At the same time, congratulations, you have also completed the ancient traditional "kneeling and sitting" posture. Modern people want to find a place to sit when they are tired. In cities with better public facilities, there are public seats everywhere, which are very convenient to use. There are seats in buses and subways, but sometimes the seats are given to the elderly, young, sick, and disabled. In ancient times, you didn't have to worry about giving up your seat. It's not that the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young was not carried forward in ancient times, but that people didn't have the awareness to sit down at all. If there were buses and subways in the era when people were accustomed to kneeling and sitting, then the buses and subways would definitely need larger internal spaces for people to kneel and sit in them. When kneeling, how far should you bend? Probably just touching your elbows to the ground. In fact, it means that the buttocks are away from the heels and the back is straight, which is the same posture as today's "kneeling down". The people of the Tang Dynasty valued etiquette and must kneel down when meeting. In the kneeling ceremony, the action after leaning down determines the occasion when the kneeling ceremony is used. If an elder wants to talk to you and needs you to respond, in order to show respect, you should kneel down, fold your hands in front of your chest, lower your head, and then answer. If you do something wrong that makes the elders unhappy and want to reprimand you, you have to be more formal and respectful than the previous one. You can't use your hands at this time, just touch your forehead to the ground, and then resume your kneeling posture. Don't feel that the ground is unclean. Touching your forehead to the ground is a sign of respect and politeness, and it is also a standard daily action in your life in the Tang Dynasty. For more solemn occasions, you not only want your forehead to touch the floor, but also have an intimate contact. It means that when the head touches the ground, it still has to make a sound. There are always scenes like this in film and television works: In order to ask for help, the hero and heroine kneel on the ground and kowtow. The people around them come around and point at the poor man, and then the protagonist sheds tears and bursts into tears. But you probably won't see this kind of situation in the Tang Dynasty. First of all, people in the Tang Dynasty mainly knelt and bowed at home or in places where they could kneel down. Secondly, kneeling and kowtowing was a common way of saluting in the Tang Dynasty. People would do this when they met, just like shaking hands when people meet today. So who would shake hands with all their strength because they are asking for something, and hold their hands until they are weak to show their sincerity? You don't have to kneel down. The most respectful thing is to bow. In places where it is inconvenient to kneel down, it would be too cumbersome to kneel down when you meet. Suppose you have to salute your colleagues when you meet them on the way to work. Then you will become the center of attention of passers-by and you will definitely not be able to get to work on time. Fortunately, the population of the Tang Dynasty was not large. If the population density at that time was the same as that of today's "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen", and everyone would greet each other when meeting, there would be no place to put one's feet on the road. Horse riding was popular at that time. If two old riding friends met, how should they salute? Are they going to show off their superb riding skills and kneel down on the horse? This is a bit mysterious, but they will definitely clasp their hands to show courtesy. This is really no choice. If you want to follow suit, be careful not to let go of the horse's reins when clasping your fists, otherwise you may be in danger. In fact, if they are not too busy and have no time, the two parties can dismount and greet each other, but one party will probably politely say: "I have something important to do, so there is no need for this." If one party insists on dismounting, then the other party should also dismount, and the two people hold fists and talk to each other to show friendship. Therefore, if you want to be a good and polite person in the eyes of everyone, then I recommend the second option to you. Don't be afraid of trouble and insist on getting off your horse and greeting the other person. If you want to be respectful to the extreme, then choose the salute. After standing up, push forward with your hands clasped, bending your body slightly. The salute is the most respectful etiquette when going out. But it should be noted that the etiquette thinking of the people of the Tang Dynasty was similar to that of modern people. If you give the most formal and respectful salute to the other party regardless of the occasion and regardless of age, the other party will also feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable. It's the same as now. If you bend down and say hello to the people you meet every time, it may be difficult for them to become your friends. Don't be nervous about going to court, why don't you all come and dance If you really like the colors of Tang officials' uniforms as mentioned before, and are planning to develop into civil servants, then it is very necessary to understand the etiquette required when meeting the emperor. When you go to court for the first time and see the civil and military officials and the emperor, you may be a little nervous, but at this time you need to show your calmness and determination that you have seen the big world, because what will shock you even more is yet to come. If you often read ancient novels and TV, you must know that going to court is a very grand event, because it has become a ritual. Officials need to perform a grand kneeling ceremony to the emperor in order to show the emperor's majesty. The court was solemn and the ministers were respectful. However, you will find that when courtiers in the Tang Dynasty knelt down to worship, their foreheads touched the ground for a little longer. What happened to them? Is it because the official hat is too heavy and I can't straighten my neck, or is it that I went to court too early and haven't had enough sleep? Don't think about anything else at this time, and be sure to be consistent with the people around you. This method of kneeling with your head on the ground for a while is more respectful than touching the ground with your forehead. The most noble etiquette was popular in the Tang Dynasty, which was specially tailored for the emperor and courtiers. It could not only fully express the pleasure of the courtiers when seeing the emperor, but also highlight the emperor's unique status and identity. This etiquette is "everyone dancing together." People in the Tang Dynasty called this "worship dance". When you go to court for the first time, if you don't know how to dance, just follow and learn two steps. Remember the key: dance with joy. The above-mentioned rituals are not performed very often, but are only required on extremely solemn occasions such as going to court. In normal times, when the emperor summoned his ministers to the office to discuss state affairs, the ministers not only did not have to perform the dance ceremony, but they were also allowed to sit. Strictly speaking, both of them were kneeling. Although the ministers looked like they were kneeling, it was not the same concept as today's "kneeling". Being a Tang Dynasty woman is actually very easy You may be tired after talking about so many etiquettes. But if you are a girl, congratulations, because basically none of the above has anything to do with you. Whether you are meeting your elders, meeting the emperor, or meeting anyone who needs to salute, you only need to kneel down if it is convenient for you to do so, and lean your upper body forward in a salute shape. When you cannot kneel down, just bend over and hold your hands. According to Mr. Zhu Xi's later explanation: Women wear too many jewelry, especially on their heads, which are jingling. If they put their foreheads on the ground like men, their hairstyle will be messy and difficult to clean up. This explanation is correct, especially the high buns worn by beauties from the Tang Dynasty seem to be more resistant to twists and turns, and if women are required to touch their foreheads to the ground, wouldn't it be a pity to have the newly affixed flower mother-of-pearl on them. Perhaps Wu Meiniang, the real empress in history, had this idea. After she ascended the throne, she announced that all women did not have to kneel down to salute. Living in an era where you need to kneel down at every turn, whether you like it or not, this is part of your life. Because the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty not only showed the friendliness and enthusiasm of the Tang Dynasty people, but also concentrated the cultural quality of the Tang Dynasty people. The Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous and open dynasty among Chinese feudal dynasties. The women of the Tang Dynasty reflected the openness and compatibility of the Tang Dynasty culture and had unique charm. In the socio-economic life of women in the Tang Dynasty, their female consciousness was revived and demonstrated to a certain extent. Compared with any other dynasty in Chinese history, the political status, economic status, and social status of women in the Tang Dynasty were greatly improved. Therefore, women in the Tang Dynasty played a very important role in the history of the development of women in my country's feudal society. The status of women in the Tang Dynasty was the highest compared to that of women in other dynasties in feudal society. Women in the Tang Dynasty were deeply aware of the essential equality of women and men, and their interest in political, economic and other social affairs reached a level unmatched by women in other dynasties.

Bring back sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, peanuts, cotton, pepper seeds, a laptop and solar charging, and store the glass, iron, cement, and medicine in the computer. In the future, bring a glass horse or a birthday boy to the emperor. Bring a few glass wolves to be auctioned to the Turks. The wolf is the god of the grassland. The glass wolf will definitely make them hunt down their dog treasures. This is imitating the favor order of the Han Dynasty, weakening the enemy, and then eating sheep.

Good subject matter, rubbish book.

The main character is clearly sick. It's not the kind of time travel where you can't go back and you have to look at people's faces. They can be invisible, teleport, and order people around. No matter how good the relationship is, this is not the way to do things.

Will bringing ancient people into the modern world directly lead to death from various viruses?

No, I was poisoned after reading Chapter 65. I thought this setting was quite interesting at first, but the subsequent operation was too poisonous. I just told the world a thousand years later. I made up some naive reasons and no one suspected it. It's a running account.

A very good name, worth writing. I wish this book will sell well🙂🙂🙂🙂

There are too many poisonous points. I could resist it at first, but after seeing the plot of buying a mobile phone, I finally couldn't bear it anymore.

From the introduction, it seems that he is afraid that he will not die quickly enough.

The main character is too slow! Character flaws! IQ is a bit low! Farewell!

A first-rate or third-rate novelist was reborn as a system spirit, hosting the "Huanglong" Five Wudao people, and testing an egg "at the beginning of birth". The ultimate mission: To become the master of the system, you must help the host grow, improve itself, and transcend the avenue. Xue Wuhen looked helplessly at the sky and sighed, "There is still a long way to go!" "My host is not useless" "Cultivating Huanglong to become a genius" "Original conspiracy to seize the dragon's energy" "Choose a teacher to intercept and teach the heaven" "Enlighten the Tao by chance in the secret realm" "Become an ancestor of humanity" "The reappearance of the gods and demons of calamity" "The secret shady story of the way of heaven" "Buzhou opened the world to achieve enlightenment" "The host system is perfect"

There are too many plot holes in the book, and I feel like my IQ has been lowered infinitely, especially in some places where it's almost like watching a three-year-old child play house, not for promotion or fame, but just to get rich, which is a bit ridiculous. It is completely unnecessary for the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in ancient China; it is ridiculous to build an orphanage for ID cards. If you have money and the Tang Dynasty as your backing, you want to solve too many problems with ID cards. Is it worth the trouble?

Just donate money to the school for distance learning, install a camera in their classroom, and have distance learning!

The subject matter is great, but the pig's trotters don't let Li Er and the others know about that period of history. It's terrible. One lie requires countless lies to fill in. What's more, people in modern times will definitely understand the history, so why hide it?

Can't we write about a good subject matter well? The names don't even match

The strength of the Tang Dynasty was due to its military force. The strength of the Tang Dynasty's army was that when they went to war, they could get 100 acres of fertile land. The fighting ability of this person to conquer the rich and divide their land is spiritually comparable.

The Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, The Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, The Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion,

It's a pity that good themes always make people think of them like shit.

Until I saw it on the shelves, I agree with what the previous person said. The good subject matter made Poujie think of it. The writing style is generally not mentioned, and many contents cannot withstand scrutiny. There are even some points that other authors have written about, and readers have pointed out any problems. It is actually very simple to think about the circle, but the author still uses it bluntly, without any intention of operating it, he can only say it. . . Stop reading it and get another one.

The thunderous introduction made me afraid to try the poison at all!

I personally think that hundreds of bicycles can be pulled over from the shared bicycle graveyard!

What to do with the bacteria brought back through time and space? There was no vaccine in ancient times. The ancients looked at history and went back, but they didn't kill all the people who later rebelled and are still not active.

I have finished reading. I am a book friend 20181001113022349

I feel that the protagonist's IQ is a bit low, unlike college students, now is the information age

Nowadays, if the online writing is good, it is unsustainable; only if the writing is bad or inappropriate can you continue writing, sign a contract and complete the book. I think I have to stay away from the online writing circle, it is becoming more and more boring. 😅😅😅😅

Ducks have strong locust hunting ability, a large amount of prey, and strict "military" discipline. Dispatching ducks is the most effective way to eliminate locusts in the grassland and protect the ecology.
