On the Winter Solstice Festival in the eighth year of Yuanshuo, while Liu Yan feasted on his ministers in Miyagi, the crowds from all sides were also entertained.

Before Liu Che changed the Yuan, the Winter Solstice Festival was actually the New Year of Zhu Xia Civilization, that is, October of each year was the beginning of the new year, and then it was changed to the first day of the first month of each year as the New Year.

Every festival of Zhu Xia civilization has its own particulars. Under normal circumstances, there are some major events that happened, and then some great people did something special and meaningful on that day to form a festival.

Nuo dance was a dance that existed in the Xia and Shang periods. It evolved into a skill to drive away bad luck during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. The first Han's emphasis on Nuo dance was exalted. Every winter solstice, the royal family would definitely invite the famous Wuzhu to it. The Nuo dance in the imperial palace means to get rid of the unsuccessful year, and the coming year will be happier and healthier.

Nuo dance is a kind of skill. The meaning of tricks covers a lot, generally refers to artistic performances. It's just that for a long time it has something to do with Feng Huaxueyue, such as cultivating famous prostitutes. At present, there is a trend of cultivating famous prostitutes in the South. It is just raising Miki, actresses and the like, but not showing up to provide special services to the masses.

Every year on the Winter Solstice Festival, the Han government also arranges Nuo dances. When Liu Yan entertains the ministers at a feast, there are dancers wearing masks and strange costumes performing dances.

Even in modern times, Nuo dance is still passed down, but the form and costume of the dance will vary from place to place, but the "function" is actually the same. It is attached to the meaning of exorcising ghosts, expelling epidemics, and offering sacrifices. As far as folk dances are concerned, at present, the biggest use of Nuo dance is to show in Nuo ceremonies, which is a necessary part of sacrifice.

"How is it similar to our dance of prayer and prayer?"

The speaker was from Frank, his name was Goodhouse, and he was talking about the Nuo dance.

So it is strange that many countries and nations on the earth are very far apart, and many behaviors have the same consistency without communication. It's not about eating and sleeping, but about culture and art, and quite a lot of names.

Frank, Burgundy, and Alemanni belong to the Germanic family. When their priests perform religious ceremonies, they usually wear a very strange mask, dance on and dance. Similar to the dance, the same also has spells that no one can understand.

Nuo dance is really part of the primitive faith. It is generally used by various ethnic groups in various religious occasions, but the German priests are noble and special professions, and the number of priests is very rare. Bian’s Wuzhu’s career has long been broken, and those who dance the Nuo dance are just temporary guest appearances.

If you watch the Nuo dance, you will see a burly and strong figure. The other dancers hold a flag in one hand and a wooden shield in the other. He is a left-handed double-edged spear and a right-handed hook.

The double-edged spear and hook are Ran Min's characteristic weapons, and that burly and strong man is really him.

In other words, what excitement Ran Min joins in performing the Nuo dance on the Winter Solstice Festival? It's not that he thinks he's suffocating enough, and he can also make a cameo.

It seems that the above can also be mentioned, Zhu Xia Wenming believes that evil spirits can drive away evil spirits, and the Nuo dance is originally to drive away evil spirits. Therefore, not only Ran Min, but also Li Tan, Huan Wen, Lu Tai, and Xie An are making cameo appearances, but the latter are useless of their weapons. They are also the lead dancers of the Nuo dance, which gives the Nuo dance a strong killing aura.

It is because their Nuo dance has a strong killing aura, which makes the Germans feel very similar to their own Nuo dance. It is the Germanic Nuo dance with a clear killing aura.

"Are there any connection between the Serris and the Germanic?"

"The two nations are so far apart, there can be no connection."

Oulus Sykestus Cicero just watched the Nuo dance of the Han and the Germans so casually asked.

In other words, the name Germanic is what the Romans gave to a group of barbarians. In fact, the group of barbarians were not originally from the same ethnic group. It was the Romans who used the same name for them, which really made a group of barbarians think that everyone was of the same ethnicity.

What the Romans did was an act of lifting a stone and smashing themselves in the foot. Originally, the contented tribes would fight with each other. After the barbarians found out that they were all "owners," it would be difficult for the Romans to defeat the barbarians' tribes.

It was not only the Romans who did such stupid things, but the civilizations of Zhu Xia also did such stupid things. Some tribes were not the same nation at all, but were summarized as the same nation by the Central Plains dynasty.

There used to be more than one Huns in the grassland. For example, the Aries King Tribe, the Xiutu King Tribe, and the Hunxie King Tribe were not Huns, but they were identified as Huns by the Western Han Dynasty. As a result, they really came together, far more. Many of the tribes mentioned above have also been forced into the camp belonging to the Huns.

The later Eastern Han Dynasty also did the same thing. The sheep-herding tribe in the northwestern territory was not a nation at all. The Han people first coined the word "Qiang" to describe those tribes, and gradually regarded those tribes as the same nation, and then It is that those tribes really formed the same nation and united to harm the northwestern territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The most stupid thing is not to crush the original barbarian tribe into a nation, but to create a nation out of nothing. How to create it? For some reason, it may be for profit, or it may be officials for political achievements. They gathered a group of people and told them: what kind of ethnicity your ancestors were originally from, what kind of ethnicity will you be in the future, and agreed to have a government. 1 Subsidies and bonus points, if you don't agree, don't say there are no subsidies and bonus points, I will take care of you!

"I heard that the Han people have been expelling and eliminating alien races they disagree with?"

"The ancestors of the Han people have been doing things about expelling and eliminating foreign races. Contemporary Han people tend to merge and digest foreign races."

Since the Romans are present on this occasion, there is no reason for the Persians not to join in the fun. People from all over the world are also curious about what a formal banquet in Han is like.

Kianush Alta Aldashir said that after the Han army finished expelling the Hu prisoners, they continued to chase and kill some Hu prisoners who had escaped. He also heard that in order to hunt down foreign races, the Han army had been killed thousands of miles to an extremely cold place, and he was a little frustrated with the Han people's notion of revenge.

"A country is the most stable with a single ethnic group. The more ethnic groups in a country, the greater the contradiction will be. When the main ethnic group becomes weak, the country is doomed to split."

"That said, why don't you see you Romans let go of slaves, and continue to transport slaves back to the mainland from various places."

The foreign diplomatic missions are arranged in a region, and their location belongs to the corner. Judging from the location arrangement, it is obvious that they still fall outside the cultural people who have been invited.

"It's a nation, not a slave!"

"hehe!"

Kianus Alta Aldahir and Oulus Syxtus Cicero, who were not far apart, looked at each other.

The Romans were quite good. In the past, millions of people dared to acquire 20 to 30 million slaves. Later, the gap between Romans and slaves decreased again and again, but it has always been maintained at a ratio of five to one. Their excellent quality of life is based on the exploitation of foreign races. Once the outward exploitation is reduced or stopped, it is basically time for domestic disturbances to begin.

Many of the cultural people who gathered in old Chang'an did not know the existence of foreign envoys in advance. This is because the Han government didn't think that foreign envoys came to show off. It really didn't regard this incident as the beginning of the country's prosperity.

Cultural people are more excited about the arrival of foreign envoys. They admire the occurrence of things from all nations coming to Korea, and regard such things as national projects. Some cultural people don’t pay attention to the Nuo dance, they are curious about it. The gang of crooked nuts made various guesses.

"Far is far enough, that is, the number of countries that come to pay tribute is less."

"When the Han Fang ends the war, foreign countries will come to Korea."

"It's not the face project of the Sima family, two big countries in the world have come."

"It is said that Rome and Persia are powerful countries with vast territories and large populations. They are all seeking alliances from the great Han?"

"The Great Han has formed an alliance with Persia to deal with the Gupta dynasty, and there are four other nations, forming the five-nation coalition."

If you didn't know what happened to Rome and Persian Sassan, you will gradually learn more about the two countries during the exchange. Some people also cited the classics of the Persian Sassanids. For example, in the Western Han Dynasty, Parthia used tens of thousands of troops to greet the envoys of the Han Dynasty. For Rome, they did not find any records in the ancient books.

In fact, the Romans had been to the Central Plains dynasty before. It was during the period of the Han and Yuan Emperors. Some people even fully adapted the events of that period into a movie. That is, the screenwriter made a few random changes and made hundreds of thousands of Romans. The army went outside Yanmen Pass in order to chase and kill a group of people. It didn't even figure out whether the grassland outside Yanmen Pass was the Western Regions or not. Another nonsense was to portray Huo Qubing as a pacifist.

This is not done yet. In order to have a good box office in the white-skinned country, the Western Han Dynasty was completely blacked out. Don’t worry about how the Roman army reached the so-called Western Regions. It must be said that the Han Empire ignored the Romans. The invasion of one hundred thousand troops was the arrival of the armies of the Parthian Empire (Parthia) to overcome the Roman army.

The Nuo dance was over. Ran Min took the lead to face Liu Yan's position. Everyone in the hall stood up with Ran Min's movements, all saluting.

Of course Liu Yan was sitting on the throne on the steps. He raised his right hand and asked for a false invitation. Cui Zong called out the word "flat body" for Hong Liang on his behalf.

Today's Liu Yan has to wear a full set of outfits. Some people have discovered that the tunic suit is different from before.

Previously, Liu Yan wore the Wangjue style, but today it is the full set of the emperor's dress. People who discovered this did not bluff, but they had to be excited in their hearts.

During the three years of Yuanshuo, Liu Yan offered sacrifices to the ancestors and fallen soldiers in Mount Tai. At that time, he had already announced to the world's subjects and ancestors, the four great gods, and completed the ceremony of ascending the emperor.

The emperor is the patriarch of Zhu Xia, ascending the emperor does not mean that he is enthroned and proclaimed emperor. After becoming the emperor, it means to be able to lead the descendants of the Xia from the legal system and legal principles. Therefore, the supreme power change of the civilization of the Xia has always been to hold the sacrificial rites of ascending the emperor first, and then hold the emperor ceremony. If anyone proclaims the emperor without being promoted to the emperor, or first proclaims the emperor and then promotes to the emperor, making jokes is a trivial matter, and will become unstable to rule.

Of course, it does not mean that after becoming the emperor, the dominant position will be extremely strong. It depends on whether the country can be ruled and the people can be peaceful, or whether the country can be strong and prosperous, but whether the emperor is really critical, that represents a kind of " Zhengshuo" status. In the dynasties of the Zhu Xia civilization, the emperor and the emperor were always confused by people with unknown circumstances, but the power of the head of a clan was greater than the power of the head of state (emperor).

Liu Yan rarely wears the emperor's diadem. In the past winter solstice banquets, he basically wore the Wangjue's diadem. He changed into the outfit of the emperor's mian suit this year. Firstly, foreign envoys were present, and secondly, it was a hint that he was about to ascend to the throne and become emperor.

"let's start."

Liu Yan's voice is not loud, but it can spread well.

The well-prepared men behind the palace filed out. At the top was Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Shen, followed by Liu Ming, the eldest son of the concubine, and then the descendants of some petite three gongs and Jiuqing.

The children are dressed in costumes, hesitant to have been taught etiquette and rehearsal before, and they walk in a decent way.

Liu Shen was already seven years old after the Chinese New Year. He was still young and his facial features were not obvious. His outfit, coupled with proper clothing, showed the grace that the eldest son of the royal family should have. While walking in the forefront, he was holding a plate with some food seeds in his hands. He first presented the plate to Liu Yan, implying a bumper harvest in the coming year. Later, he took over plates containing copper coins, silver, gold, jade, agate, and jade from Liu Ming and presented them to lightnovelpub.net, which means national prosperity.

"It's so complicated." Kiyanus Alta Aldahir looked at the little adult-like child who offered more than a plate: "What special culture is it?"

No one answered Kianusz Alta Aldahir's question. After the offering session was over, a group of musicians showed up. They set up their instruments and waited quietly.

Ran Min and the others who had changed the costumes of the princes appeared and went to their place. The sound of a chime appeared first, and then various musical instruments joined in.

"Yo Luming, Shiyezhiping. I have guests..."

Liu Shen took the lead in singing "The Deer Ming", and the children followed the chorus sternly.

During the period when the Hulu ruled the Central Plains, not only "Deer Ming" disappeared, many long-standing traditions were actually no one dared to engage in it again. For a considerable number of people, being able to sing "Deer Ming" at a banquet represented a kind of Inheritance is indispensable.

After that, all the Han people in the hall sang along, and everyone sang so drunk...
