Chapter 920

Since coming to Chang'an, foreign visitors had a few days to wander around, but behind them came officials from Honglu hall. Some of the etiquette taught by Julian made Julian very interested in learning the etiquette of the Han Empire.

Honglu hall did not just go to the post house where the Roman royal family was located, but all foreign visitors had Honglu hall staff there.

The Roman royal family and Sassanian royal family went to Shaocheng, and several kings who came in person went to the doctor. The lower the level of foreign visitors, the lower the official position.

The officials of the Honglu hall go to teach foreign visitors the etiquette of the Han family. If they usually teach them how to deal with the emperor, Julian and other foreign visitors catch up with the grand ceremony of Liu Yan's becoming emperor. At that time, they will be arranged to watch the ceremony, which naturally requires more procedures.

What kind of etiquette should be followed when meeting someone, what kind of appearance it should be when going there, and even strict requirements on the walking posture and the distance to be taken. There are a lot of foreign visitors who are forced by the whole ignorance.

"Why didn't the emperor arrange Helena and Helena?" Childe said uneasily, "does the emperor of Han want to refuse marriage?"

Childe came to the Han Empire on behalf of ji1 Du1 religion. At present, let alone paying an audience with the emperor, he has not even met a slightly influential official of the Han Empire.

There are many intentions of ji1 governor and Yijiao to the Han Empire, including preaching, but they know that things can't be too urgent, they have to take their time.

About the marriage, Julian has submitted his credentials, and the Honglu hall also gave a reply after accepting it, to the effect that he needs to report to the emperor. When the emperor has made a decision, he will inform him in time, and then there will be no more.

The situation of the Persians was similar to that of the Romans. They also submitted the National Certificate on marriage. The reply not only did not change the text and punctuation, but also relaxed the mentality of the Romans.

"Bishop childe, haven't you received a formal reply to your request to go to Changguang county?" Julian didn't like childe. It wasn't because childe was fat. Many clergy of the Christian Church were linked to their own weight. The archbishop was even fat enough to need a servant to walk around. He said, "it's the religious collection of the Han Empire. It's really necessary for you to go on a field trip."

The religious atmosphere in the Han Empire was not warm, and there were no central official positions related to religion except the ancestral temple and the star watching department.

Changguang county is the home of Han soldiers after their death. Some non soldiers who have made contributions to the state are also eligible to be buried in the martyrs' park there after their death.

Because it is a national cemetery, it naturally needs special people to manage it, including some clergy needed for the mortuary ceremony.

Every year, the state holds a large-scale public sacrifice, which is generally presided over by ministers at the level of three gongs and nine Qings. It is inevitable that clergy will be required to carry out some ceremonies, and some religious related departments have been specially set up there.

Diplomatic missions from various countries to the Han Empire, except from Jingkou to Chang'an at the beginning, could not run around without permission.

It is not just the Han Empire that has such regulations. In fact, any country in the world has the same regulations.

The people in the room are waiting. They put on their national costumes and are about to go to the temple of heaven to observe the ceremony.

Today is the first day of the first month of the 13th year of Yuanshuo. In ancient times, it was called new moon day, later renamed New Year's day. It is a grand holiday every year. This year, Liu Yan will hold a grand ceremony to proclaim himself Emperor today.

The first ceremony was held at the temple of heaven, and the subsequent ceremony was held in Miyagi.

Since emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty changed the Yuan Dynasty, the last day of December is new year's Eve, and the first day of each year is the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, the whole Chang'an City has the excitement of the festival. After dinner, there are bonfires everywhere. At midnight, the sound of explosion resounds through the whole city.

Those behaviors are to scare Nian beast.

According to legend, the Spring Festival is not a happy day at the beginning. On that day, a fierce beast will appear and eat people. It is found that the fierce beast is afraid of fire, so it has the habit of lighting a bonfire every year.

Bamboo is a very easy to burn plant. When it is burned, each section of bamboo will make a explosion sound. It is found that fierce animals are afraid of the explosion sound. The materials behind the campfire change again and again. Throwing bamboo in to listen to the explosion has become another custom.

No one knows whether Nian beast exists or not. On the first day of the new year, the custom of eliminating evil spirits by burning a fire and jumping back again has been inherited. The custom of burning bamboo has also been inherited. After waiting for the emergence of gunpowder, it has become a firecracker.

Foreign visitors also had a Chinese new year last night. They went to bed late and were awakened early. In fact, their spirit is a little bad.

"I just looked out of the window." Helena is also a full-bodied dress, but Rome really did not study clothes enough. After inheriting the characteristics of Greek civilization, she copied it. She is a long silk skirt, that is, the patterns on the skirt are richer, and her head is covered with golden olive branches and leaf crowns: "people can be seen everywhere."

"The city has more than one million residents." Flavis is wearing a military uniform. It should be said that the men of the Roman embassy are dressed similarly. They can't wear the Roman men's skirt that will be seen in the private part when the wind blows: "today is their traditional festival, or the time for the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

In fact, most of them went upstairs and observed from the window. They could see people walking everywhere. On both sides of the main street were people who were looking forward to seeing the chariot of the son of heaven.

Other avenues are better. The avenue leading from the palace city to the temple of heaven is a sea of people.

"Our August 15 will be so lively." Julian said the August festival in Rome: "speaking, our August Festival is very similar to the Chinese Spring Festival."

There are many festivals in Rome, but some festivals such as Christmas, Halloween... Don't exist at present. They also celebrate the new year, but they don't pay much attention to it. In the early stage, they will celebrate for some gods. The religious atmosphere is strong, and then they set festivals for some famous great men.

August Festival is a festival specially set for holding dances. It is also one of the more grand festivals of the Romans.

On that day, the Romans will prepare the costumes for the ball and dress themselves up. If they can wear new clothes, no one will wear the clothes of previous years.

At the same time, the preparation of the dance must be to go shopping, prepare rich food for the guests and some articles for decorating the house.

During the Chinese new year, when conditions permit, Han people will inevitably prepare new clothes in advance. After working so hard for so long a year, how can they have a good meal? The house will be decorated with some festive decorations.

On the other hand, the Chinese New Year is really very similar to the Roman August Festival, which has the basis that Julian said is similar to the Chinese Spring Festival.

While the people were chatting, officials of the Han Empire came to the post house.

It was the little supervisor of Honglu hall. The Romans did not understand the official position of the Han Empire. They saw that they had brought many assistant officials. They judged that the little supervisor should be a not low official position.

"Check your clothes." Young supervisor Liu Daodao was already observing after entering the door. He saw that the Roman dress was actually stunned: "what you are wearing is a dress?"

The Roman dress was too frugal according to the aesthetics of Zhuxia. The Roman men in military clothes were actually OK. The rest were simple group clothes. The simplicity of the style made people wonder whether Rome had opened a development line called clothing art.

When the Romans were asked, they didn't know how to answer. There were so many styles of their clothes. It was not as complicated as the costumes of Zhuxia to distinguish whether they were costumes, that is, the patterns of clothes and some jewelry.

There are many styles of costumes in Zhuxia. There is a standard set of clothes on various occasions. Usually, many clothes need to be matched, and then look at the color and pattern (pattern) to distinguish the grade.

For example, the crown dress worn by the emperor is composed of crown, coat, lower garment, boots, knee covering and ribbon. The Marquis's dress is only different from the crown dress of the emperor in some details. The following is what kind of title is decreasing again and again. It not only looks very complex, but also is not easy to wear.

Seeing that no one answered, director Liu nodded and said, "you need to go as soon as possible. Don't make a fool of yourself later."

When the Hong Lu hall came to teach etiquette, it was very clear that there was no such thing as leaving halfway when watching the ceremony. There was a hold of excrement and urine. Even if you couldn't hold it, you couldn't leave half a step.

The Romans did not understand the etiquette of the Han Empire. If they were in a strong position, they would definitely protest. The problem was that they were not in a strong position. They even had some fear of the military strength of the Han Empire and chose understanding very rationally.

Director Liu gave ten minutes and decided not to give it to the Romans for another second.

The Romans had long chosen to cooperate. Later, they lined up according to their internal agreed structure and followed director Liu out of the post house.

No one asked why they walked instead of taking a bus. They knew in advance that today, except for a few people, there is no one in Chang'an City who can take a bus no longer within the etiquette procedures.

After leaving the post house, they need to walk some distance to enter Zhuque Avenue. Under the guidance of director Liu, there are a team of forbidden guards in gorgeous military uniforms on the left and right sides.

It is not that there are no people walking in the streets. They see officials leading a group of foreign visitors, and no one pestles in the way.

The Romans who marched away did not speak. That was because they were instructed not to speak at will.

The Romans can't speak and can think in their mind. After they came to the Han Empire, they had two biggest impressions. The first is that the rate of men, women, old and young in the Han Empire is frightening, and the second is that the Han people pursue order and respect order.

When they arrived at Zhuque Avenue, they were shocked by the surrounding crowd. After director Liu indicated that they could relax temporarily, they all praised the number of Han people and commented curiously on the clothes of Han people.

Liu Dao stayed here according to the procedure.

They will meet with foreign visitors from other countries here and check the clothes of foreign visitors for the last time. The inspection process is also to determine that no foreign visitors carry weapons, and then carry out the final training. They will repeat what things should be observed later.

The Persians only came about five minutes later than the Romans.

"Their clothes are costumes?" Liu asked his colleague Zhou Fen and compared the costumes of Persians and Romans: "at least it's more gorgeous than Romans."

Today's Persians are not Persians of later generations. They wear robes around.

Persians wear many kinds of clothes. Most Persian men in non military clothes wear clothes with upper robes and lower trousers. The upper robe is wide and long and thighs, and the lower body is loose trousers. The color is very bright, and there are also complex patterns or patterns.

Persian women's dress is very eye-catching. The main body looks like a skirt, which is as long as knees and ankles. The upper body is wearing a vest, and the outside is wearing a gauze windbreaker. On the head, there is a sharp crown that Chinese people don't understand. The veil is supported by two ears to cover the face below the bridge of the nose.

Yarn windbreaker is an ornamental dress at all. It seems to be a material with gold thread or lead. They are embroidered with beautiful patterns, and the thread is always shining in the sun.

Since it is a yarn windbreaker, it will be transparent and can't cover the upper body of the little vest completely tightened. The beautiful chest curve, thin bee waist and upturned hips show the beauty of women.

After a little wait, the viewing teams from several other countries came one after another. After checking and serving, they listened to the final instruction, and the huge team began to enter the rosefinch Avenue.

It was almost when the delegations from various countries entered Zhuque Avenue, there were bursts of cheers in the distance.

Due to repeated admonitions and warnings about the consequences of failing to abide by the Han family etiquette, the foreign visitors who lined up were no longer curious and didn't speak.

Just when the curiosity of foreign visitors was about to explode, the Han people standing on both sides of the street cheered and followed. The sudden cheers almost made some foreign visitors lose their attitude.

The whole city soon became a sea of cheers. In the cheers of mountains and tsunamis, most people didn't know what they were cheering at all.

The first place where cheers appeared was at the palace gate of Miyagi. The reason is that the gate of the palace city was opened, and those with marques below the Marquis came out of the gate on the left and right sides, and a group of marques came out of the gate in the middle. Their appearance made the onlookers cheer.

Visiting groups from various countries? When they first came, they aroused the interest of the Han people, but no one cheered.

Today's Han people have a very simple idea. They don't think foreigners are welcome at all. They even think it's inconvenient for foreigners to appear in the capital.

Pay tribute? Han people will feel that it is as common as sunrise and sunset, and it is strange not to pay tribute.

After entering Zhuque Avenue, there was no Han officials in front of the foreign delegation. Liu Dao and Zhou Fen walked on the left and right sides of the street.

At the strong request of the Romans and Persians, they were divided into two columns and walked side by side, and the other small countries naturally followed.

They repeatedly praised the behavior of the Han people standing outside the yellow line when there were no soldiers on both sides of Zhuque Avenue
