"Second, accept the name!" the master of ceremonies shouted again.
Then, the matchmaker Dong Mingzhu, like the woman's wife, asked, "what's your name, ancestral origin and birth date?"
"Shan, the little girl's surname is Zhu, and her name is Xishui. Her ancestor was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who opened the way to heaven. Zhaoji established a great saint to God, benevolence, righteousness, martial arts, Junde, and succeeded. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang passed on his 17th son, King minzhuang, and passed on in 544. She had a little girl."
"The bride is the queen of the emperor!" after hearing the woman's name and ancestral home, the whole venue was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, boss Jia married an emperor. This identity is too noble!
"Dear fart, my family name is Li, and I am also the descendant of Li Shimin!" of course, some people don't think so. After all, they are struggling with their ancestors. At least 30% of the people present can say that they are the descendants of the royal family.
"Little girl's birthday, Renzi year, Wushen month, Dingchou day, gengzi time!" God pitifully saw that God knew how much time and effort Ni Guangnan had spent to recite this tongue twister birthday eight characters!
"I dare to ask the literary media. I don't know the respect and taboo of the childe, what's the origin and birth date?" after asking the woman, it's naturally his turn to ask the man's name.
"My son's surname is Jia, his name is Yapeng, and his ancestor is Jia Yishi, a great Fu of the Western Han Dynasty."
"My son was born in the year of gengxu, in the month of Dinghai, in the day of Yiyou!"
Be reasonable, boss Jia doesn't know who his ancestors are. After all, his parents didn't say it, and his ancestors didn't leave a genealogy. Boss Jia doesn't even know some collateral relatives.
So he simply got himself an ancestor.
There are not many top celebrities surnamed Jia, just Jia Yi in the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Kui in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Jia Sidao in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, Jia Kui gave birth to a granddaughter Jia Nanfeng, which directly destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Jia Sidao was once a traitor compared with Qin Hui. Of course, boss Jia could not recognize these two people as ancestors. Only Jia Yi was more suitable.
Although Jia Yi had great talents in those years, due to political struggle, he finally had to become the king Taifu of Changsha, and even died in Changsha. Wang Bo's sentence of Qu Jiayi in Changsha in Tengwang Pavilion is also destined for Yuzhang, so boss Jia recognized the ancestor of Jia Yi.
"Great kindness!" dongmingzhu saluted and shouted at the same time, which was the end of the naming process.
"Third, Naji" is Naji after Naji's name.
With the voice of the master of ceremonies falling, a fairy Taoist came out of the background and sat in the center of the stage. In front of a prepared incense table, the matchmaker Dong Mingzhu hurried forward and saluted the Taoist.
"Have the eight characters of the two newcomers been ready?" the Taoist asked loudly when he saw the east pearl.
"Ready!" Dong Mingzhu nodded, and immediately two waitresses in maid's clothes came out from both ends of the stage, each holding two pieces of red silk. The red silk was written with gold powder. Naturally, it was the birthday of both sides.
"Goodness!" the Taoist asked again, "is there any relationship between the fire and the Millennium keel?"
"It's ready!" Dong Mingzhu said, and two more maids, one carrying a golden copper brazier and the other holding a turtle shell, came out at both ends of the stage.
"Supreme goodness!" the Taoist shouted. When the three items were ready, he first put the turtle shell into the fire. After the fire calcined for about a minute, he also put the red silk with the eight characters of the birthdays of both sides into the fire. Finally, the Taoist grabbed a handful of powder and threw it into the fire basin. The fire instantly covered the whole stage, startling everyone.
However, the fire came and went quickly. When the fire ended, the Taoist priest clamped the turtle shell out of the fire basin with pliers, and then seemed to carefully observe the lines on the turtle shell. Then he looked very happy and said, "the two newlyweds are the perfect couple. They are made in heaven. They live for three generations. They are destined to be affectionate people. I congratulate you here!"
"At the same time, I will engrave today's grand occasion on this keel and pass it on to future generations." the Taoist said with something called keel in his hand, which is actually a tortoise shell.
Hearing the Taoist priest's words, the whole venue burst into warm applause.
"This is our Chinese classical wedding!" a middle-aged man was moved and was about to cry. "This is the origin of oracle bone inscriptions handed down from the Shang and Zhou dynasties!"
"What do you mean, sir?" Alan Adhan couldn't help asking, but he seemed to forget that he couldn't speak Chinese himself, so he asked in English.
But what I didn't expect was that the people around me who had just spoken could also understand English, and English was quite fluent. They directly told Alan Adhan copp.
"The keel is the shell of a tortoise. In ancient China, it was called the keel. From about 1600 BC to 1000 BC, during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the ancients used this way to put the tortoise shell into the fire for divination when holding large-scale ceremonies such as weddings, expeditions and sacrifices, which is what you Westerners call fables."
"Those powerful wizards can calculate the future situation according to the cracks in the tortoise shell burned by the fire, and then carve it on the tortoise shell and bury it in the ground, so as to survive forever."
"This is a tradition that has been broken for more than 3000 years in China. I can't imagine that it reappeared at the wedding today. I'm so moved!!" the old man couldn't help crying. In fact, he is the Peking University professor invited by boss Jia to plan and arrange the wedding site this time.
The professor thought that this wedding was just a copy of the wedding scene in the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, even the tradition of dragon bone divination in the Yin and Shang Dynasties was copied. Of course, the professor was moved to cry.
Although other Chinese people at the scene did not teach such profound knowledge, they could instinctively feel a breath from the ancient times spreading throughout the wedding scene.
The whole venue was immediately very quiet and solemn, as if everyone could feel the Chinese tradition and culture of 3000 years.
Well, although the idea is right, boss Jia doesn't know what the ceremony was like when divination was really carried out in the Shang and Zhou dynasties 3000 years ago.
Of course, if boss Jia is serious, he can also find a way out. However, the real ceremony in Shangqiu period was too troublesome. Apart from the custom of killing three animals or simply killing people to sacrifice divination during divination, boss Jia will certainly not recover.
Therefore, boss Jia simply came to a hodgepodge. According to the most convenient appearance of modern people and the imagined classical ceremony, he combined with such a Naji ceremony.
In addition, if you really burn tortoise shells for divination, there will be no lines if the tortoise shells are not burned for more than half an hour.
Boss Jia can't wait such a long time, and what if some unlucky lines are burned out? Aren't you married yet?
So the tortoise shell didn't burn any lines. The Taoist was just acting in the whole process. Anyway, whether there were lines or not, what he said was auspicious words after all.
In short, it's just a routine.
But the ritual sense contained in it is very strong, and today's things will be really engraved on the tortoise shell in the future, which will be well cherished by boss Jia.
About a few hundred years later, the tortoise shell somehow appeared in the auction market. Finally, it sold for 1 billion global coins, which is known as the most expensive tortoise shell in history.
"That's great. Is this the classical Chinese wedding? It's really great. It's many times better than our American wedding!!" Alan Adhan clapped hard and said excitedly again.
Jack Orens could not help nodding. Indeed, the Chinese wedding was so cool that he couldn't help but want to give his wedding and followed the routine.
I don't know if the priest in the church would like to burn tortoise shells like this Taoist priest.
