Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 852 Easy Service Order

After Xishi tied a belt for Qingji, she picked up a pair of tighter mustache trousers, let Qingji sit on the bed, and knelt down halfway, trying to put on the mustache trousers for Qingji.

After tossing a few times, Xi Shi's pretty face couldn't help but collapse.

These mustard trousers are not generally difficult to wear.

The point is that for Qingji, it doesn't quite fit his legs!
After finally putting on trousers for Qingji, Xi Shi took a pair of beard shoes and put them on for Qingji.

These Hu shoes are very different from the shoes Qingji wore before.

Qingji's daily shoes are often made of silk as the surface and hemp thread as the bottom, while the shoes for court meetings are made of wood.

This kind of shoes are mostly short tops, which are not a problem in normal wear, but are not suitable for marching, especially not suitable for trekking in places with aquatic plants.

The Hu people's shoes are made of leather and made into high-quality shoes.

Finally, Xi Shi put on a beard hat for Qing Ji.

It is said to be a hat, but it is actually a crown.

There is a sable tail on the crown, which is due to the coldness of the north, and the shape of the crown is like a dustpan...

After finally putting on a complete set of Hu clothes, Qingji went out and went to the Chongzheng Hall to pay his respects.

"My king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

"Your highnesses are free of courtesy, and you are flat!"

"Thank you king!"

When the officials took their seats and saw the Hu suit, hat, belt, and trousers that Qingji was wearing, their expressions suddenly changed and they were astonished.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Dazai looked at Qingji in disbelief.

Qing Ji shrugged his shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Ji Ran, what do you think of my outfit today?"

"..."

Ji Ran was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "My lord, I'm sorry to say that such barbarian clothes should not appear on your lord!"

"My lord, you are the king of a country. You should be an example for all the people of the Wu state. How can you not dress properly? Especially in such a serious occasion as the court, the king should not wear a Hu suit, so that he can respect others!"

"So, what is the system?"

"Exactly!"

The one who reacted most violently was the Right Prime Minister Kong Qiu.

With a sad expression on his face, Kong Qiu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you are wearing such a Hu suit, which is really against my Chinese dress system!"

"Your Majesty, please change your crown and go to court! If it is not the case, if this matter is spread, I am afraid that the world will criticize and maliciously slander Your Majesty, and think that our Wu Kingdom has become a kingdom of Rong and Di!"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

All the officials knelt down one after another, begging Qingji to go back and change into a mian suit, and discard the Hu suit on his body.

Qing Ji just laughed it off and said, "Second and third sons, what's wrong with wearing this Hu suit?"

"Xianyang, the new capital of my state of Wu, is full of Yiqu, Wushi and other Rongdi in the northwest. They all live as nomads and are good at horseback riding and archery."

"Rong Di does have some special strengths in military clothing."

"They wear narrow-sleeved short jackets, which are more convenient for daily life and hunting. When fighting, they use cavalry, bows and arrows, which are more flexible than the Central Plains' chariots and spears."

"That's why Rongdi's cavalry come like birds and leave like strings!"

"The widow wants to implement the 'Easy Service Order' in the country, so that the soldiers and the people of the country will wear Hu clothes, learn to ride and shoot, learn from the strengths of the Rong and Di to make up for the shortcomings of the Central Plains, and learn from the strengths of the Rong to control the Rong!"

"No! Absolutely no!"

Confucius immediately jumped out to object, and said fiercely: "Your Majesty, don't you hear that China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of obedience, so it is called Hua!"

"I am a great country in China, and it has been known as the country of clothes and etiquette since ancient times."

"Mianfu Huazhang is called Hua, and the great country is called Xia! My traditional Chinese clothing is graceful, elegant, generous, and has a long history."

"Its structural connotation is far beyond what Hufu can match."

"Like the deep clothes, the clothes are connected together, and the quilt is deep. For example, in the production, the upper and lower clothes are cut first, and then stitched at the waist to form a whole long dress to show respect for the ancestors and inherit the ancients."

"Shenyi symbolizes the unity of nature and man, magnanimity, fairness and integrity, and the oriental virtues of tolerance."

"The sleeves are wide and the cuffs are tucked away, which symbolizes the harmony of heaven and harmony. The necklines intersect at right angles, which symbolizes authenticity and uprightness."

"There is a straight seam on the back that runs through the top and bottom, symbolizing human integrity; the hem is even, symbolizing balance; it is divided into two parts, the upper garment and the lower garment, which symbolizes two appearances; the upper garment is made of four pieces of cloth, which symbolizes the four seasons of the year."

"Twelve pieces of cloth are used for the lower garment, which symbolizes December in a year!"

"Compared to Shenyi, what is the connotation of Hufu?"

Qingji admits that Hufu is not as good as Shenyi in connotation.

Shenyi originated from the Yu family, the first king of the Yu Dynasty. He connected the clothes and skirts to wrap his body, cut them separately but sewed them up and down.

Its characteristic is to make the body hidden, graceful and elegant.

Around the Xia and Shang dynasties, the clothing system began to take shape, and it gradually became more perfect in the Zhou Dynasty, and was included in the scope of "rule of rites".

The costumes at that time varied according to the identity and status of the wearer.

Aristocrats mainly use upper and lower garments. The shape of the upper garment is mostly cross-collared right lapel, with positive colors, that is, five primary colors of green, red, yellow, white, and black; , Use intermediate colors, that is, mixed colors made of positive hues.

Civilian clothing mostly has small sleeves, the length of the clothes is usually at the knees, and the waist is tied with a belt.

At this time, the appearance of deep clothing changed the single style of aristocratic clothing in the past, so it was deeply loved by people. It was not only used as ordinary clothes and dresses, but also as sacrificial clothes.

There are two basic dresses in China's current traditional clothing-the upper garment and lower garment system and the deep garment system, and the upper garment and lower garment system is of a higher level than the deep garment system.

Ordinary common people can only wear narrow-sleeved bunts due to the restrictions of the hierarchy and living standards, and for the convenience of labor...

Moreover, there are certain precautions in wearing dark clothes.

If the parents and grandparents are still alive, use patterned fabric as the edge of the clothes.

If the parents are still alive, the skirt is made of blue cloth, also known as Qingjin.

If it is an orphan, use plain color as the clothing edge.

This is clearly stipulated in "Book of Rites·Shenyi" that due to different family conditions, the edge materials selected when making Shenyi are different.

At this time, facing the strong opposition from the ministers headed by Kong Qiu, Qingji just shook his head and said: "Everyone, second and third sons, if a husband has a high reputation, he must be burdened by legacy."

"The achievements made by Qin Mugong in the past were obtained from Rong Di."

"Confucius, I don't know that a minister should have the virtues of filial piety, fraternity, seniority, youth, obedience, and enlightenment when he is favored. When he is obedient, he should benefit the people of the country and the merits of the monarch. This is the duty of a minister."

"Now, the widow hopes to create achievements far ahead of Duke Mu of Qin, and open up the land of the Xirong and Hu people."

"The widow's purpose is to weaken the foreign enemies, to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and to achieve unprecedented feats without wasting the labor of Li Shu."

"Thus, anyone who achieves merits that are higher than that of the world will have to bear the burden of abandoning the vulgar customs; those who have a strategy that only they understand will let the arrogant world resent!"

"The widow hears it, doubts are useless, and doubts are nameless."

"Therefore, I must implement the Yifu Order in the country, so that people in the country can wear Hufu as much as possible and practice riding and shooting."
