255. All The Costumes Of The Ancients Were To Show Their Status!
When the whole servant was lifted up from the ground by the archaeological team.
Everyone gathered around to study.
But obviously, they couldn't see anything.
In the end, he could only ask Fang Yang for help.
Fang Yang walked up to him, and the system ~ panel also popped up.
【Jiju Mai】
[Characteristics of cultural relics: sitting on the ground with legs stretched forward, slightly clenched left hand with palm up and fist with right palm down, with a serene expression and a peaceful face, in the form of fighting. 】
[A very rude sitting posture in ancient times....]
After reading the system introduction, Fang Yang couldn't help shaking his head.
There are many etiquettes in ancient times.
What survives can be said to be the inheritance of Chinese culture.
It can also be said that the etiquette at that time was too strange.
"There are two kinds of sitting postures in ancient times, one is commonly used in public places, sitting with one another."
"To put it bluntly, it is a sitting posture similar to kneeling, with the buttocks close to the heels and the upper body upright.
"Be sure to distinguish clearly, this is sitting, not kneeling!"
"The difference between kneeling and sitting is that when running, the whole thigh to the body is straight.
"But sitting with the buttocks connected to the heels, there is a big difference."
"The second sitting posture is the human servant's posture in front of us, which is called sitting with a skip.
"The buttocks are on the ground, and the legs are straightened like a dustpan, which is called Jijuzuo."
"It seems to us that this sitting posture is normal now, such as doing yoga and stretching exercises, even if your legs are sore, you can sit like this."
"But the ancients couldn't tolerate it at all."
"Give me a simple example."
"One day Mencius ran to his old mother to sue, saying that I was going to divorce my wife..."
"Then his mother asked, your wife is so virtuous, why divorce her?"
"Finally Mencius said, I just entered her room, guess what?"
"I saw her sitting on her buttocks, just squatting like that."
"His mother scolded him after hearing it."
"Your wife is alone in her own home, in her own room, is there anyone else, what's wrong with sitting like this.
"Besides, you didn't knock on the door when you entered, and let someone greet you. Now you still blame others?"
"It can be seen from this little story."
"First, the ancients always sat like this in private.
"The ancients were not stupid. Kneeling is very tiring and painful. You will know it after experiencing it. Don't say that you don't often kneel, even if you often kneel for a long time, you can't stand it."
"So, the sitting posture must be more comfortable when the buttocks are on the ground."
After listening to Fang Yang's story.
Team Jiang asked curiously, "Then why didn't the ancients sit like this?"
Fang Yang smiled: "Because the ancients paid great attention to etiquette."
"And they don't wear the same clothes as we do today."
"First of all, their underwear used to be not as perfect as we are now."
"Their underwear is a bit like Japanese sumo wrestlers, and the one wrapped around their waist is called Dubiwai."
"So that kind of underwear can't completely cover it at all."
"Of course this is not the most important thing, the main thing is their clothes design."
"Before the pre-Qin period, the most popular style was the upper garment and the lower garment, which came in two sets."
"The top is a short jacket, and the bottom is a skirt. Everyone should know that the ancients actually wore skirts for men and women, and they were separated."
"But when it came to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it started to be raised."
"So look at this man's clothes, from the upper body to the knees.
"Later in the Han Dynasty, this kind of clothes were called deep clothes."
"In other words, he obviously has pants on the ground."
"But the trousers he was wearing were nothing like our modern trousers."
"The trousers we wear now are crotch trousers, and what they wear is not only inappropriate, but also has only one trouser leg.
"That's the kind of crotch pants similar to children's."
"Then tie a thread around the waist where the gear is open."
"So, this kind of pants can easily expose the thighs.
"When we were in Su Qin, we all heard that the head hanging from the beam and the awl piercing the buttocks were very eager to learn.
"Every time I hear famous quotes when I go out, I first raise my thighs and write a cheat sheet."
"So they wear such clothes, actually for the convenience of cheating."
"As for the thigh, it is used for recording."
"If you don't wear these pants, you can't cheat at all."
"So the thighs of the ancients were often exposed."
"But clothes like this, plus underpants that don't hide it."
"It causes you to be very careful when sitting and walking."
"Otherwise it's easy to disappear."
"So for the ancients, walking slowly was a status."
"The son of heaven walks the slowest, followed by the princes, and then the fastest walks."
"In ancient times, there was also a privilege, which was granted to Xiao He by Liu Bang when the Western Han Dynasty was first established.
"It's called the sword shoe on the palace, entering the court but not tending."
"It means that he can go to the palace with a sword and shoes. And he can enter the court without going.
"Current means trot. Xiao He can see Liu Bang with a big swagger. And he can walk over there without trotting all the way."
"From here, we can bring out the decency and symbol of nobility in that era."
"And he still needs to wear a jade pendant. The function of the jade pendant is not for viewing."
"The main function is to play a step-by-step role."
"The longer the jade pendant, the higher the level. When it hangs down to the bottom, you can't walk too fast at all. You can only carve your own pace as much as possible and walk slowly."
"Besides, why does the emperor wear a crown? There are so many jewels, and it feels heavy at first glance."
"When you put it on your head, it feels like your neck can bend over."
"But in fact it has a similar effect, controlling the pace of the emperor, so that he has to walk slower."
"So all these costumes are to show its etiquette, the slower you walk, the higher your status."
"However, there are also people who sit on the floor in public.
"The assassin we are familiar with, Jing Ke!"
"When Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, before he died, he was bestowed with two swords by the King of Qin.
"Jing Ke sat leaning on the pillars in the hall, and leaned there to scold him."
"Let's imagine."
"Lean against a pillar, on your buttocks, legs apart."
"Such a posture, in our opinion now, may be nothing."
"But at that time, it was equivalent to giving Qin Shihuang an international standard gesture."
"Before he died, he couldn't resist, so he could only humiliate Qin Shihuang as much as possible."
After Fang Yang finished speaking.
Everyone didn't react for a while.
Because this time the speech is much faster than before.
But there is a lot of content inside.
【Qi】+1+1+1+1....
【In today’s class, I feel that I have learned a lot. When I was a child, I wondered if the Son of Heaven wore such a big hat on his head, wouldn’t he feel uncomfortable? It turns out that its function is to make the Son of Heaven feel uncomfortable. In order to prevent it from falling off, we can only Slow down and show your status. 】
[Who the hell would have thought that ancient people wore crotch pants for the convenience of memorizing cheat sheets. If Fang Yang hadn't told me these knowledge points, I would never have known them in my life. And that pendant, for so many years I thought it was just for decoration, the kind that symbolized one's status, who would have thought that it was used to control the pace, it's been a long time. 】
[On the contrary, I think it's weird to sit in the skip. Mencius was about to divorce because of his wife's sitting posture. It's really far from the big spectrum, is it necessary to be so serious? I tried it just now, kneeling is really uncomfortable, I can’t bear it all over my body, I can only say that the etiquette of the ancients is too much and too complicated. 】
[So it is very strange that the ancient etiquette of Renyouju is a kind of cultural inheritance. But I also feel that the etiquette in the past was very cumbersome, so is it good or not? The most unexpected thing is Jing Ke. In my impression, he is an assassin with a long history. As a result, before he died, he used this method to insult Qin Shihuang, which refreshed my three views. 】
After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, the archaeological experts at the scene were a little bit unsatisfied.
Although they study archaeology, it does not mean they have a clear understanding of history.
Just like what Fang Yang said, it was the first time they had heard of it.
Even the sitting posture is so particular.
Moreover, all the costumes of the ancients were designed to show their status.
It was also beyond their expectations.
After all, not many people know about this kind of thing.
Unless it is a special study of history.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many TV shows to mislead people.
...ask for flowers...
Director Qin smiled and asked people to take the servant back for careful preservation.
Before he came, he was already mentally prepared.
But I didn't expect it to be shipped so soon, and I was naturally in a good mood.
It's just that compared to yesterday, this first one is still lacking.
Fang Yang did not continue to explain, but directly climbed onto the excavator and started working again.
With shovelful shovelfuls of dirt being dug up.
The mud pit in front of him soon exceeded 20 square meters.
And the depth is more than three meters.
Watching the time go by little by little.
The people present not only did not have any intersection, but their eyes were full of expectation.
But in the next second.
The photographer exclaimed: "Brother, do you see something on your shovel?"
Fang Yang looked intently.
A crimson thing was vaguely seen in the pile of soil.
A bit like the color of bricks, but more uniform and darker.
Out of curiosity, he calculated carefully and poured the soil in the bucket aside.
Director Qin immediately rushed up with a few people to pick him up.
How about picking it up twice.
I saw them holding a small pottery jar in their hands.
There are also some black patterns on it.
It looks very old-fashioned.
But no matter how the experts at the scene looked at it, they couldn't remember which dynasty it belonged to.
Everyone gathered together and discussed.
Until Fang Yang walked in, he made way for him.
As the system panel pops up.
Fang Yang was also taken aback.
【Painted pottery pot with pig face pattern】
[more than 6000 years ago]
【Height 20.6 cm, abdominal diameter 15.3 cm, base diameter 6.8 cm. The mouth of the pot is gourd-shaped, with a small round mouth, beam diameter, curved belly and flat bottom. 】
Director Qin asked suspiciously: "Fang Yang, can you tell which era this ceramic is from?"
Fang Yang nodded with a smile: "Cultural relics from the Yangshao culture period!"
Wow~~
As soon as the words came out.
All archaeologists are shocked!
"Yangshao culture? I count it~~~ Isn't it 6,000 years old?"
"My God, is this a relic from 6,000 years ago?"
"What exactly is the pattern on this painting?"
Fang Yang smiled: "It's a pig!"
【Qi】+1+1+1+1....
【I Nima
, so outrageous? The last one was exaggerated more than 2,000 years ago, and now a cultural relic from 6,000 years ago? Can anyone tell me what dynasty was 6,000 years ago, and was there a feudal system at that time?]
[Can containers be made 6,000 years ago? It seems that our ancestors were smarter than we thought. The most amazing thing is that they also know how to draw pictures on the jars, but this pig doesn't look like it at all, it's too abstract. 】
[It’s really outrageous. The pottery from 6,000 years ago can be preserved to the present. It can be said that it is a water chestnut. 6,000 is enough to kill me thousands of times. I really can’t imagine how people made this thing back then. 】
【It seems that we in Huaxia have been eating pork since a long time ago, otherwise how could we draw pigs!】
Everyone looked at Fang Yang's answer in doubt.
Take a closer look, although it's not very similar.
But with the pig's nose, it is very penetrating.
It can be distinguished at a glance.
It is not bad to say that it is a pig.
It's just that they don't understand why the painting is a pig.
The age when the ancients lived, because of the lack of necessary knowledge.
Therefore, they worship all kinds of natural phenomena that are irresistible to human beings.
Such as rain and lightning.
And use dragons and tigers, birds and fish and turtles as the objects of their tribe's totems.
But no matter how totem, it can't be a totem pig?
Before they asked questions.
Fang Yang took the initiative to explain: "The ancient ancestors had the custom of worshiping the Big Dipper.
"And in "Shuowen", there is such a sentence: "Tun Temple is responsible for life. Si Ming is the God of the Big Dipper. "
"This sentence means that pigs are used to worship the Big Dipper. 27
"So the ancients painted the image of a pig on the painted pottery pot, which is offering sacrifices to the Big Dipper."
