Chapter 700: Cultural invasion?

Ah San has its own four-level caste system, and Persian Sassan also has its own four levels. In fact, the later Central Plains civilization also developed its own scholarship, agriculture, industry, and business divisions.

The difference from the Central Plains civilization is that when many other civilizations divide the social hierarchy, the 1st religion usually occupies a very high position. In addition to the royal family of the country where it is located, basically the second level of hierarchy will be Religious groups.

Asan has Brahmins, Sassan has Zoroastrian monks; Asan has Kshatriya, Sassan has professional warriors; Asan has Vaisha, Sassan has a bureaucracy and scribes; the difference between the fourth level is above The status of A San's civilians is inferior to that of Sassan's common people; if there is anything else, there are slaves in the same way. In some respects, A San's slaves have more status than untouchables.

Si Hongzhuang was a little dumbfounded when he saw the so-called Yeerbo, because on a hot day someone would wear a big robe from the head cover to the sole of the foot. Isn't he afraid of being suffocated?

The so-called "Yelbo" is a title of Zoroastrianism, which translates to "Fire Sacrifice". Yerb's status is at the same level as the Zoroastrian "Mubaid", which is a certain region. The bishop of 1 presiding over the teaching affairs of a diocese. The difference between the two is that Mubed basically stays in one place to preside over the teaching affairs, but Yerb has the task of spreading the faith around.

Zoroastrianism is actually a kind of name for the Central Plains. Its real name is Zoroastrianism. There is another name called Zoroastrianism by the Central Plains. They came to the Middle East following the demise of the Persian Sassanids. Driven out, probably spread to the Central Plains during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The one that replaced Zoroastrianism and religion in the Middle East was the Islam, 1 Lan and 1 religion. With the continuous expansion of Arabs with a scimitar and scriptures, the Islam, 1 Lan and 1 religion also began to flourish and became the whole world at one time. The religion with the largest number of followers has been widely spread in Asia, Africa, and Europa.

With the emergence of the Zoroastrianism Ye Erbo, Si Hongzhuang and other Han people have fully realized what pomp is called. It is Hula La. A large group of people dressed in religious costumes opened the way. Ye Erbo was not only armed with all arms. The samurai guard must be accompanied by Mihime.

"One by one is so thick..." Si Hongzhuang saw that those thickly dressed people have flame signs on their bodies, as if they are graded by the coat of arms: "What's the origin?"

Alta Bama Cistios had asked Si Hongzhuang to greet their Yerb just now, but when he saw that Si Hongzhuang hadn't even stepped forward to greet them, his brows frowned.

To be honest, although the Central Plains civilization said that it respected the religion, it would not do anything to raise the status of the religion, and it has always been that the royal power suppresses the divine power. People will have religion, religion, belief, and worship. Crazy, 1 believer and 1 disciple, and again, the fear and respect of the religion is far less than that of the royal authority (official).

Civilized society is different, and ideological is different. Si Hongzhuang will warmly welcome Alta Bama Sistios, who is both a noble and a general, but it is the same for Yelb.

Of course Si Hongzhuang saw the frowning of Alta Bama Sistios, and was surprised that Alta Bahma Sistios was so upset, so he asked because of the politeness of the host. Asked.

It’s not that simple about the religion. Alta Barmacsistios could not leave Ye Erbo aside, and simply reminded Si Hongzhuang that Ye Erbo had something in the Persian Sassanids. Great influence.

Si Hongzhuang didn't care when he heard that he was a clergyman, but he should show some face to greet him.

Yelb, who didn't know his name, was already impatiently waiting, but he didn't move forward, but stayed where he was waiting for a meeting that met the specifications. Seeing Si Hongzhuang coming over, he lifted the robe covering his head and face, and stretched out his hands slightly.

A little closer, Si Hongzhuang saw Ye Erbo's appearance clearly, and was surprised at how Ye Erbo was so young and had an overly handsome face. He walked a few steps forward and saw Ye Erbe follow him. Bo stretched his arms, and the people with a flame pattern on their clothes began to sing.

Every religion has its own "chanting", some are hymns, and some are chanting scriptures. The hymn is naturally a form of melody. For example, the fast-developing Christianity 1 and the Zoro 1 religion are all of the hymn type, while the Asan civilization and the Central Plains civilization belong to the chanting scripture type. Which one is more "high, big, and superior" depends entirely on the audience's aesthetics. Whose aesthetics will affect who depends on the strength.

To give a simple example, the aesthetics of highly civilized nations is the mainstream aesthetics. For example, Zhu Xia civilization has long belonged to the East Asian hegemon. What Zhu Xia civilization likes is the mainstream, and the rest belong to influx, and even non-Zhu Xia. Civilization also subconsciously thinks that its own things are not good. This is how the aesthetics of a powerful civilization dominate the mainstream.

It stems from Zhuxia’s self-confidence in their own civilization. Only the things of their own home are good. Some things of other ethnic groups, even if they are really ornamental, will subconsciously feel that they are not very good. If you really like it, you will grab it and become my own.

The hymn of the Zoroastrian 1 religion is actually quite good, the tone is humped and there is a pause at the same time, that is, it is really no better to hear the scriptures chanted by the Taoist priests of the Han people.

The hymn was sung for about five minutes, and it ended when the Zoroastrian Church Yierbo retracted his arms again.

That Yelb was called Megapanos. He didn't know if it was a custom or something. He only had a first name but no surname. He has been frowning all the time.

According to the custom of the Persian Sassanid, Si Hongzhuang should walk quickly when the hymn is sounded, kneel down in the posture of worship and wait for Megapanos to give his blessing. This kind of "passing" is a very high courtesy in the eyes of the Persians. Kneeling and worshipping are entirely appropriate, and not everyone has such treatment.

Si Hongzhuang would do those things only when he saw a ghost. According to the current civilization and customs of the Central Plains, there is a saying that "a man has gold under his knee". Kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, and kneeling to the parents are the things that should be. The king would bow down on special occasions, otherwise it would be a humiliation to bow down to anyone.

Megapanos is acting in accordance with the Persian Sassanian customs. He thinks that Si Hongzhuang does not accept "goodwill" and feels that he has been humiliated. Then he didn't want to talk to Si Hongzhuang at all, and turned out to be a group of entourages. Hugging and walking inward.

"Blessings from Yerb!" Alta Bama Sistios was entangled in his heart. There was anger at Han's generals not accepting kindness, and even more depressed, and he probably knew the differences in civilization. The custom of coming is different, saying: "Very few people can be blessed by Yerb personally."

Si Hongzhuang could only see that Ye Erbo was upset. As for why he was upset, he couldn't figure it out and didn't want to figure it out.

Alta Bama Sistios was obviously not reconciled, and intended to popularize their religious culture to Si Hongzhuang, and very cautiously introduced Zoroastrianism as the state religion of the Persian Sassanids. In particular, it is said that Zoroastrianism can even influence the country's strategy.

Si Hongzhuang was leading a group of Persians towards the camp, and he was babbling endlessly along the way. He listened to him, and he also understood the status and influence of the 1st religion in Persian Sassan. He paid attention to it. When I got up, I heard that I was going to kneel in front of that Ye Erbo, and it immediately went viral.

"Each country has different customs." Si Hongzhuang doesn't know how to use a knife to chop a girl, and said seriously: "We Han people are very particular about the ceremony of kneeling and worship. Please make sure to understand."

As long as it's an individual, who doesn't know that kneeling is very particular? That is, different civilizations will have the dignity of being a human being. No one wants to bow down to anyone at all times. But in some civilizations, bowing down to someone is not a humiliation but an honor.

With such an episode, the welcome ceremony prepared by the Han army was really not so good. After the Persian came ashore, it was spent in depression.

At present, most Han people are dispensable with respect to the religion. While not rejecting the religion, they will maintain awe of any god, but don’t expect them to believe in the religion. To the extent that I am willing to give everything.

For most Han people, believing in the gods just wants to ask for something. Usually it is to pray for the incense (or other things) to ask God to help them achieve their wishes. It is more like a kind of bargaining than pure faith. 1 Yang.

To be honest, it is not difficult for Han people to believe in a certain god, but because of cultural relations, Han people believe in a certain living great man, it is easier to become a mad, one believer than to believe in a god, which can be regarded as a major feature of Zhu Xia. .

"Three thousand people, more than one thousand are related to their national 1st religion." Si Hongzhuang is making the necessary report to Huan Wen: "One thousand are armed personnel, and the rest are accompanying entourages and the like."

Huan Wen is quite clear about other civilized countries that have a national religion. Persian Sassan has Zoroastrianism, Asan has India 1 degree 1 religion, Rome has just popularized Christianity, 1 governor and 1 religion, and other civilizations also have their own national religions. , That is a very common phenomenon.

"That Yeerbo wants to give up his post and bow down!" Si Hongzhuang was completely scornful: "I don't know if it's crazy or stupid."

Although Huan Wen was interested in the state religion of the Persian Sassanids, he paid more attention to what happened to the armed men in Persia. He got a news from the country that the Persians had an elite army from ancient times. That army was called the "Undead Army". Although the Persian dynasties have been changing, almost every dynasty has an "Undead Army". exist.

"There are so many people with cloaks and masks on their faces." Si Hongzhuang had deliberately observed, and said, "Those people should be some kind of undead army, right?"

Regarding the information about the "undead army", Liu Yan talked casually at the beginning. He waited for the Persian Sassanian envoy to arrive in the Han country before getting a special understanding. Unexpectedly, there really was an "undead army".

The "undead army" should be traced back to the sixth century BC. An elite unit of the Achaemenid dynasty played the dual role of the royal guard and the standing army. After the Achaemenid dynasty, there was actually no "undead army" in the true sense. Even if there were still "undead army", it still existed as a kind of tradition. Subsequent Persian dynasties were still engaged in the "immortal army." Some of the more important Persian kings specially selected people with high martial skills to be selected as the "immortal army".

On this aspect, Han has formed a local military alliance with Persian Sassanids. How can we understand each other? Of course it is impossible for a large number of Persias to go to Han mainland. The exchange platform is in the Pingman Captain's Department. Suitable.

Not only with the Persian Sassanids, in the next period of time, people from the other four allied countries participating in the fight against the Gupta dynasty will also arrive at the Pingman Lieutenant Department. The number of people who come is a process to increase mutual understanding. .

Pingman’s military base is the military base of the Han country in the distance. The Han culture that all countries can understand is quite limited. At most, it is a preliminary understanding of the military culture of the Han country. I really want to understand what the Han civilization is. However, it takes a considerable amount of time to travel to the mainland of Han, which is definitely not a short-term task.

It may be that Han did not take the Persian Sassanian national religion seriously. In the following, the Zoroastrian Yelp Megapanos never appeared again. It was created by Alta Bama Sistio. Si was communicating with Han, but Alta Bama Cistios had never seen Huan Wen.

Megapanos did not show up in person. The problem is that Zoroastrianism is very active. They deliberately or unconsciously will do something full of religious colors, and they are also trying their best to reach out to the Han people to spread their beliefs.

"Just let them do it like that?" Yuan Qiao said of course that Zoroastrianism wanted to spread beliefs and gain followers~lightnovelpub.net~ Actually, of course, the Persians could not wander around in the Pingman Captain's Department. Can't bear the Zoroastrian Muhu (also known as Mug) is too enthusiastic about the spread of Faith, and if he seizes the opportunity, he fanatically wins over Faith.

Muhu is the state religion of Persian Sassanid...that is, the clergy of Zoroastrianism. They are extremely large in number, and in fact the composition is also very complicated. Muhu who can be brought to the Han people must be selected through layers of selection. All of them are people who believe in a firm belief, in order to spread their beliefs to the Han people.

Huan Wen saw the recent events in his eyes. At first, he actually held an indifferent attitude, but at the back he became vigilant.

In the final analysis, most Han people are really not so enthusiastic about the religion. Belief in the religion is regarded as a kind of transaction. It belongs to the type of believing in everything but not at all. It is necessary for the Han people to be "loyal" to the religion. It’s not about persecution, it’s the reward for gaining benefits after believing in, or else believing in, but really don’t expect the Han to do something for a certain **** whom the Han people believe in. .

Huan Wen had been thinking about it, and then he said to Yuan Qiao: "What did they...what did they mention on the king? Cultural invasion??"
