Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

Chapter 111 Three Books and Six Rituals, Phoenix Crown and Xiapei

Communicated with "Xiao Qin" and "Chen Ming" about the subsequent marriage arrangements.

Jiang Ning took out a pen and paper and started designing the clothes they would wear when they got married.

Yes.

You have to wear wedding clothes when you get married.

But in Daomen, how could it be possible to use a Western-style wedding dress.

Even if you use Chinese-style clothing, it does not particularly reflect the characteristics of Taoism.

But this doesn't bother Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning, who had an incomparable vision in his previous life, just thought about it and he had an idea.

He first designed a women's tiara.

This crown is called a phoenix crown.

Then, Jiang Ning designed another set of Taoist robes.

Then on the cassock, Taoist runes were added as decoration.

Not bad.

It seems that I have a talent for fashion design.

Although Jiang Ning is not a professional fashion designer.

But Jiang Ning himself has a foundation in painting. No, he is also a master of line drawing and ink painting.

Although some places are not professionally designed, overall it is still OK.

Finished designing women's wedding clothes.

Jiang Ning went on to design men's clothing.

More than two hours later, Jiang Ning successfully designed two wedding outfits.

"We need to find someone to make two wedding dresses."

After thinking about it, Jiang Ning thought of Xia Qing.

……

"Xia Qing, I heard that you are a fashion designer?"

Sent a message to Xia Qing.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised, but after a while, Xia Qing replied: "You just know now?"

"I have something to trouble you."

"Think of me when you have something to do. I'm sad. I'm very busy."

"Uh... then I'll find someone else."

"Who asked you to find someone else?"

"Didn't you say you were busy?"

"It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I can help even if I'm busy. If I'm in a bad mood, I won't want to help even if I'm not busy."

"So how are you feeling now?"

"It's okay... hurry up and talk about your business. If you are in a bad mood later, I don't want to help."

"oh oh."

Seeing that Xia Qing was in a good mood, Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "Recently, a couple in our Taoist temple wanted to get married, so I wanted to design a wedding dress for them. I heard that you are a fashion designer, so I was wondering if you could give him a wedding dress. do it."

"You mean, let me design it?"

"Well, I've designed it, you just have to make it."

"Hmm... I'm a fashion designer, not a tailor..."

Xia Qing passed with an angry expression.

After a while, another message came back: "But it's okay to send it for a look."

"Okay, okay,"

Jiang Ning hurriedly sent out the designs of two sets of wedding clothes. Jiang Ning was afraid that this girl would be in a bad mood again.

"This guy……"

Xia Qing on the other side covered her mouth and snickered.

But I was thinking in my heart.

This guy doesn't even know he's kidding him.

But I saw the design drawings sent by Jiang Ning.

Originally it was just a casual look.

After all, Xia Qing is a well-known designer, and his vision is unknown.

In addition, Jiang Ning is not a professional at all.

Even if he could design it, he probably wouldn't be very good at it.

Xia Qing was still thinking about it later.

When the time comes, do you want to be a good person and do it to the end and help him design two sets?

Unexpectedly.

When she saw the two sets of design drawings sent by Jiang Ning, Xia Qing was completely stunned.

"My God, this..."

"Is there something wrong with the design?"

"No, nothing is wrong."

Xia Qing shook his head.

Although Jiang Ning is not very proficient in professional design technology here.

But Jiang Ning's painting skills are very strong, and Xia Qing can understand it at a glance.

But this is not the most critical.

The key is.

Among the two design drawings sent from Jiang Ning, Xia Qing had already completely constructed these two wedding clothes in her mind.

"beautiful."

Yes.

Although Xia Qing obviously knew that this was a Taoist uniform, even if it was a Taoist uniform, it was extremely stunning.

"I want to ask, who designed this?"

"Didn't I say that?"

"Really you?"

"Of course it is me."

"Do you still design clothes?"

"What's so difficult about this? How about I design a few more sets for you another day."

"..."

Xia Qing was a little crazy.

To know.

She is a well-known designer.

Although she has designed a series of works.

I really want to say it.

Nothing is as good as these two wedding dresses.

"Okay, I will get these two wedding clothes for you in three days." "So fast."

"That is."

"Thank you very much. It's ready. I'll pick it up from you when the time comes."

"No, it's okay now anyway. Once it's done, I'll send it to your Taoist temple."

"That's fine too."

……

Three days passed quickly.

During these three days, Jiang Ning did not rest.

He arranged for two junior brothers, "Qingfeng" and "Mingyue", to help Xiao Qin and Chen Ming prepare for a series of wedding procedures.

However, this process is different from modern marriage.

Since it is a Taoist marriage.

Therefore, Jiang Ning also followed the ancient marriage customs in his previous life, that is, the three books and six etiquette methods.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, have you returned to the Jade Emperor Palace?"

"Ah."

"I said I didn't even see you in Maoshan."

"Haha, you still want to learn Feng Shui from me."

"This... I want to learn it, but I think about it and let it go. By the way, the video you just sent is quite interesting. Can you explain it to us?"

Because they are all preparations before getting married.

So Jiang Ning did not go there in person, but asked "Qingfeng" and "Mingyue" to shoot some short videos.

Just didn't expect it.

As soon as these short videos were released, many netizens were extremely interested and started chatting privately with Jiang Ning.

even.

in a short period of time.

These few pre-wedding preparation videos suddenly exceeded 50 likes.

Seeing everyone is so interested.

Jiang Ning also wanted to share some knowledge with everyone, so he started the live broadcast.

"Everyone, let's talk about the three letters first. The so-called three letters refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome."

"There are so many procedures for getting married?"

"This is an ancient wedding custom. Ancient marriages were no more formal than modern ones. At the same time, there were no laws as sound as modern ones in ancient times, so we had to use this kind of etiquette to restrain everyone."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what's the point of those three books?"

"It's tricky, but it's not complicated. The engagement letter is the engagement document. For example, if a man wants to be engaged to a woman, he must propose the engagement, and the woman will decide whether she is willing or not after seeing the engagement letter."

"What is a ritual book?"

"The gift book is similar to our current betrothal gifts, which means that the wedding gift list will also be written in the gift book. However, the betrothal gifts here are different from the gold, cars, and houses we have today. In ancient times, most people didn't talk about it when they got married. This, the gifts given are common to everyone. Only the children of nobles or the children of palace ministers will have more expensive betrothal gifts in the gift book."

"What about Ying Shu?"

"It's also very simple. It's a document that the man gives to the woman when she comes to marry her."

Jiang Ning explained three books in one breath.

This makes everyone feel fresher.

At the same time, some netizens said.

It seemed that he remembered what his great-grandfather had said, saying that they had a similar process when they got married at that time.

But basically, these processes have almost been forgotten by modern people.

Or it may not be that it has been forgotten, but that with the various developments of modern society, it is no longer used and eventually lost.

But when listening to Jiang Ning explain the three books, everyone felt that this kind of ritual seemed to be more in line with the nature of marriage.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what exactly do the Six Rites refer to?"

"The six rites refer to nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, asking for an appointment, and welcoming in person. Let's talk about nacai first. Nacai is the preparation before proposing marriage. When a man proposes marriage to a woman, the woman will not immediately Promise to the man. What will the woman do at this time? They will inquire about the man through acquaintances to see his moral character. Of course, this is also popular in our modern times."

"The second step is to ask for the name. Don't misunderstand the meaning of asking for the name. He is not asking for the name. Because in the first step, when the man proposes marriage to the woman, he has already told the woman her name. So this question of name, It’s no longer about asking about names, but about each other’s birthdays and horoscopes.”

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what is your birth date? Why does it feel like it's feudal superstition again?"

The so-called birth date.

That is the date, month, day and time of birth.

This is a system with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

For example, the current time is the year of Guimao, the month of Xinyou, the day of Guiwei, and the hour of Jiayin.

Among them, Guimao, Xinyou, Guiwei and Jiayin are the eight characters, which also represent the eight characters of birth date.

It means that you were born during this time.

If you were born during this time period, these eight characters can be used to predict your destiny based on the Yin Yang and Five Elements.

"Whether it's feudal superstition or not, you can listen to my explanation."

The so-called feudal superstition is sometimes the prejudice of modern people against the ancients.

Many times people today feel that the ancients were ignorant and unintelligent.

But actually.

If you go back to ancient times, you may not be as smart as the ancients.

Many times the rules formulated by the ancients were most in line with the social development of the ancients at that time.

For example, why do we need to check the birth dates of both parties before getting married?
Jiang Ning explained: "Ancient times were not as good as modern times. In ancient times, women did not go out very much, and only men went out to make money. So at that time, when two parties got married, whether it was a man or a woman, they were almost never seen. In many cases, even , it wasn’t until the wedding that the groom lifted the bride’s hijab that the groom saw the bride for the first time.”

"If this custom is followed, then neither the man nor the woman actually know much about each other. Even if they can find out some information about the other party, they may not be able to find out the most real truth. Then, at this time, it will Ask the other person's birth date and horoscope, and use the method of combining the horoscope to see if the two people are compatible and can grow old together. If the horoscope matches, then get married. If the horoscope does not match, then no marriage. Although this approach seems to be It’s not scientific, but this tradition of combining horoscopes was the most scientific at that time.”

In fact, even in modern times, there are still countless disputes about whether birth dates are scientific or not.

But after systematically learning a series of Feng Shui numbers, Jiang Ning had some understanding of the Bazi.

In fact, both Bazi and Feng Shui have certain theoretical basis.

Feng shui is based on astronomy and geography.

same.

The horoscope is also a summary of astronomy and geography.

This means that.

The environment can affect people.

The environment at different times will lead to different lives for people.

but.

Jiang Ning does not tell fortune-telling stories in the live broadcast room.

He continued: "The latter means placing the birth dates of the two parties in front of the ancestor table to ask for good or bad luck. The Nazheng means sending the bride price to the woman's home. Of course, the woman's family will also give a certain gift in return. Finally, It is the invitation period and the personal greeting. The invitation period means choosing a good and auspicious day. The personal greeting means that on the wedding day, the groom goes to the bride’s house to marry the bride.”

Done.

Jiang Ning thought of the wedding clothes he had designed before and said: "By the way, when the time comes, the newlyweds will go to our Jade Emperor Palace to hold a wedding, and we will also hold a wedding for the two newlyweds in a Taoist way. For everyone As a bonus, I’ll show you the bride’s wedding dress.”

talking.

Jiang Ning uploaded the bride’s wedding dress to Kuaiduo.

And on it, the name of this wedding dress was written: "Fengguan Xiapei".
