I am Da Song

Chapter 630 There should always be a level of respect
In a feudal serf country in the West, there can be tens of thousands of castles.

One can imagine how their urban economy will be squeezed.

Between the castles everywhere, there are wilderness and forests, and there are few farmlands, and they can't support any prosperous commercial areas.So much so that there is a special tradition in the West that caravans and mercenaries are no different from robbers in the wild.

Therefore, after Song Dynasty ruled the city of Jerusalem, the holy city must have shown an unparalleled impact to the West.

There are oriental-style commercial buildings built everywhere inside and outside the city, showing the unique culture and high prosperity of the conquerors, which is very different from the West.

However, these are all formed spontaneously by the people.

Regarding the unique buildings belonging to the East, Yue Yun said: "The Protectorate also built a series of buildings in Jerusalem."

"First of all, the urban layout of the former dynasty and the later city, the left ancestor and the right society. In the east city, the Duhu Mansion established the Sheji Altar to worship the Qing Emperor and the God. In the west city, a temple of belief in our dynasty was established. Zhengong, Wuchengwang Temple, etc."

Zhao Huan suddenly became interested, offering sacrifices to the Qing Emperor, the God of Valley, the Five Sacred Mountains, and even the Taoist Ancestor. The real emperor is not bad, but this Temple of King Wucheng is very interesting.

Zhao Huan asked: "If you sacrifice to me, King Wu Cheng, in the holy city, do Westerners know the 72 generals of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple?"

Thinking about a group of foreign devils bowing down and offering sacrifices to Zhuge Liang, Han Xin, Zhou Yu, and Shi Wansui, Zhao Huan wanted to laugh.

Leaving aside whether the two sides can understand each other's languages, do these pilgrims in the West know the merits of these generals in the Wu Temple?

It would be really interesting if a group of people appeared to ask Bai Qi for safety and Huo Qubing to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases.

Yue Yun said with a smile: "As far as I know, many people who worship the Martial Temple are aware of the role of the Martial Temple. Moreover, a large number of people worship the achievements of the generals in the temple, and are obsessed with arguing about the ranking of these generals."

Zhao Huan nodded, expressing his understanding.

Every country has such a group of people who like to study the historical achievements of generals of other countries, list them as super famous generals, and admire them endlessly.

This is mainly due to the shock of different cultures and the fresh experience brought by strangeness.

And Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong has been talked about by countless people for thousands of years.

In particular, the 72 generals of the Wumiao ten philosophers are fairly familiar to the Central Plains people, knowing that they are generals of different eras.But it is completely different for Westerners.

For the vast majority of Westerners, these people are very strange, and they have no concept of belonging to the era.

Just in an instant, the 72 martial arts masters presented the same moment in the eyes of Westerners.

What Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, what is the former Qin, later Qin, Western Han, Eastern Han, Xuan Han, Ji Han, Zhao Han, later Han, Southern Han and Northern Han, they are completely unclear, so for them, these generals are all famous generals in the eastern country, no matter what Successively.

In comparison, Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong did not feel any disobedience to them.

A famous military general will always be one of the strongest cultural exports of an empire.

Just like the pan-Confucian cultural circle, they all like to pay homage to the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms.

The culture of the Song Dynasty was first spread in the Holy City, and it was also the eternal heroes with great martial arts in the Wu Temple.

Zhao Huan said: "There are Taoist Temples and Wucheng King Temples in Jerusalem, where the Qing Emperor and the Five Sacred Mountains are worshipped, which already have the characteristics of our dynasty. But this alone is not enough."

Yue Yun is a soldier and doesn't understand political matters, so he said: "The Duhu Mansion has lifted the ban, and the Central Plains style can be seen everywhere in the whole city, including Yangliu Yiyi, wine shops, Huaqu, Mingtang Caoya, gardens and manors, tripod statues and stone carvings. .”

Right Prime Minister Zhang Jun waved his hand with a smile, and said: "The imperial court is not reprimanding the Duhufu. At present, it seems that the Duhufu has indeed done its best to promote the characteristics of our dynasty. There are shops and shops in the market, and there are willows and willows everywhere. The giant tripod statue, everything shows that Zhuxia culture has influenced this place."

Yue Yun asked: "Where is the shortcoming?"

Zhao Huan said: "The disadvantage is that these have not formed the specifications for crushing. Have you heard of the Pantheon?"

Yue Yun nodded, and said: "I heard that my Shenwu right army led Zhang Xian to conquer the territory of the Western Regions."

Having said that, Yue Yun looked proud.

The territory of the Shenwu Youjun can be said to be all over the world. In this world, wherever the civilization is bright, there are footprints of the Shenwu Youjun conquering.

The Pantheon is located in the city of Samarkand in the Western Regions. However, after Zhang Xian led the army to descend from the sky, Gaochang surrendered, and the Eastern Black Khanate in the west directly surrendered.So the imperial court changed the city of Samarkand to Kangju City.

Zhao Huan said, "Then do you know who the King of Kings is?"

Yue Yun immediately replied: "Of course it's the official family. Before that, it was Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, but Li Zhi's achievements obviously cannot be compared with the official family, so naturally the official family should be the main one. The official family has a benevolent heart and did not abolish its idol. It is allowed to accompany the sacrifice."

"What you said is very good. There must always be a priority in everything, like the king of kings in the pantheon. I am the king of kings. What about the city of Jerusalem?"

Yue Yun suddenly realized something.

In the city of Jerusalem, there are naturally symbols of the Song Dynasty. Whether it is a bronze tripod, a statue of a colorful god, or a shop, or a willow, these are all oriental images that can be seen at a glance.

But it is limited to one of the various existences, there are too many cultural elements in this city.From Puritan temples, to Christian churches, from the City of David, to the Wailing Wall and the Dead Sea.

Among so many mottled symbols, some oriental symbols appear, but they are just mixed and ravaged in everything, and they are mixed into a paste. It is difficult to make the symbols of Song Dynasty vivid and attract everyone's attention.

Zhao Huan said: "And you have sacrificed so many gods, can Westerners distinguish between them? Who is higher and who is lower between the Five Sacred Emperors and the Twelve Apostles? Who is stronger or weaker? "

What Zhao Huan said is actually a situation that will inevitably be encountered in cultural exchanges and contact between East and West.

Two thoughts, two beliefs, as long as they come into contact, they will collide no matter what.

However, some collisions, like Christians and Puritans, are inextricably killed, and each other is regarded as heretics, and they must use the blood of pagans to prove their sanctity.

However, there are also some collisions that will complete cultural integration, such as Taibai Jinxing, who is still wearing a yellow dress, a cockscomb, and a goddess who plays the pipa at the moment.

For example, the Queen Mother of the West, from the tail of a leopard and the teeth of a tiger, has gradually evolved into a looming empress who is able to carry a hundred spirits and is now in the right place. All immortals in the world who enter the heaven must "see the Queen Mother of the West first, and then the Prince of the East".

However, Zhao Huan did not criticize the Persian Capital Protectorate, and their actions also had an obvious Taoist style.

Taoism itself is a polytheistic religion, unlike Western monotheistic religions, which have a very clear hierarchy.
