The history of a nation is the heritage of the nation, and it is an unimaginable wealth.
Originating from a long history, the development of the nation will inevitably extend to a variety of cultures, social progress is of course the general direction, how to survive, and in the survival of the birth of a variety of etiquette is another side.
The development of the Zhuxia civilization to the Zhou Dynasty formed its own "rites", from that time to pay attention to what kind of identity should have a matching etiquette, self-cultivation, ethics, morality and so on were gradually improved.
The top of a country can generally reflect the comprehensiveness of etiquette, and the aristocracy is the most representative group among them, they constitute a country's external display, and in some ways represent the country on some occasions.
What kind of etiquette should be is basically the embodiment of a nation's display of its own spiritual outlook, which can make the alien race with whom it communicates see the individuality of its own nation.
Huan Wen and other people wearing ceremonial clothes, they are showing themselves to the Persians, and the discipline they show is on the one hand, one set after another in words and deeds, so that the Persians can see a part of the Zhuxia civilization, both the gentleness and elegance brought by the "etiquette" of the Zhuxia civilization, and the masculinity of being a warrior, but the Persians do not feel contradictory at all.
In fact, the Persians also have their own national personality, and of course they also have their own rituals, but today they are holding religious ceremonies, and there are very few things about the Persian national personality, and more of them belong to Zoroastrianism.
"How can there be a chain on the nose" Li Mai has been busy commanding naval operations, and he really has never personally contacted the Persians before: "It's very similar to the big man's ox piercing the nose." ” Indeed, the Persians were very fond of piercing their noses and wearing chains, and they also liked to put some rings on their ears and cheeks, which was a habit that has existed since BC, and extended a very special aesthetic.
In fact, there are not many ethnic groups who like to pierce the body, although the Persians have a "piercing" culture, but the Persians are more often with the "clip" style, Asana is called to wear must be worn.
Civilization has come to this day, and both the Persians and Ah San have played a new height in the "piercing" culture, such as forcing women of a certain class to pierce on the sex 1 organ and 1 official, and the milk 1 ring or something is just basic, and the number of tricks is beyond imagination.
This culture has actually been passed down, and many people in modern times do it in order to increase their taste.
In fact, the Persians and Ah San have one thing in common, they are extremely fond of using precious metals to show off their wealth, and people with a bit of status will be like a mobile treasure trove of gold, which is indispensable for some brightly colored gems to embellish.
Then again, in fact, the people of Zhuxia also liked to use valuables as decorations, but the upper class did not use gold or silver as a display, but used various jade products.
Because Zhuxia is extremely fond of jade, jade culture is extended to a lot of truths, such as jade represents the gentleman is one of them.
To say, a piece of excellent jade, its value is very high, and many people who wear jade simply walk around with several boxes of gold.
"What kind of gem is that" Megapanos asked when he saw that everyone in the upper echelons of the Han Kingdom had a jade pendant on the skirt, and looked at the beauty without a gem.
Eltabamasistios really knew what it was, and knew what the jade pendant was for, so he said, "It is an accessory that presses the hem of the skirt to prevent the skirt from rising." ” In today's world, the vast majority of countries wear skirts for both men and women, but the skirt is different from each other.
The group is divided into many types, which are generally Zhuxia style, Greek style, and Persian style.
The skirt of Zhuxia is between Greece and Persia, the skirt of the Greeks is up to the knee, the skirt of the Persians is to the heel, the skirt of the Greeks is really a skirt, and the skirt of the Persians is more inclined to the robe, that is why the skirt of Zhuxia is in the middle.
The Romans then dressed in a way that went towards Hellenism after the annexation of Greece.
Compared with gemstones, jade is indeed inconspicuous in the color reflection, jade is not even as good as the color reflection of jade, jade is in line with the introverted nature of the Zhuxia civilization is deeply loved, and the lack of love for jade in other civilizations is probably also because it is not obvious In the eyes of the Persians, Huan Wen and other Han people wearing ceremonial clothes are of course gorgeous, and because the style and the etiquette of words and deeds have a pleasing charm to the eye, there is one thing that is very puzzling to the Persians, that is, it is difficult to see gold or silver ornaments.
"Perhaps," Megapanos guessed, "because they had only recently been restored, and every nobleman was still poor."
Therefore, the difference in national ideology and aesthetics is like that, the Persians and Ah San are eager to dress themselves up as a gold mobile library, thinking that it is a kind of fashion beauty, and can show off their wealth, but in the eyes of the Han people, it is really vulgar to be full of gold.
Eltabamasistius has a special understanding of what the Han civilization is all about, but most of what he knows belongs to the Western Han Dynasty, and there is a lack of channels for understanding the Han State established by Liu Yan today.
"Perhaps," said Eltabamasistios, who somewhat agreed with Megapanos' speculation, "the Han have just reunited their country, and the news sent back by His Highness Ardashir has repeatedly referred to the ruins of the Han kingdom. ” The royal family of Persian Sassanid can be called His Royal Highness, which is different from the Central Plains civilization that is only eligible to be called His Royal Highness if he is crowned a king.
The titles in the Central Plains civilization have their own exquisiteness, His Royal Highness originally referred to the palace steps, and the ministers who were not members of the royal family could be called His Royal Highness as long as they were qualified to stand under the palace steps, and those who were qualified to stand in the palace could also be called His Royal Highness, and then because of the humble Dazun, it gradually turned into an honorific title for the queen, the crown prince, and the kings.
The Persian civilization has no restrictions on buildings similar to the Zhuxia civilization, and the palace can be built as long as it is rich, and the official will not interfere if it does not pull the flag to rebel, and in the final analysis, because of the different words, anyone can be called His Royal Highness, but he will not provoke the ruler with a normal brain.
Under Huan Wen and the others sitting down, Megapanos was about to stand up and say a few words to announce the start of the ceremony, but Huan Wen's preparations were obviously not finished.
One group arrived at the gate of the Persian camp after Huan Wen and the others had sat down, and they drove the horse-drawn cart and were informed that they were allowed to enter.
There were not many vehicles coming, so naturally it was impossible to drive them into the center of the ceremony, so they parked outside and were filled in with plates of fish.
"Food of the Han Empire."
Eltabamasistius was still very happy and said, "According to the etiquette of the Han Empire, guests should bring gifts when they come to visit, and what Huan Wen prepares is food. ” "Megapanos really hasn't seen a guest come to the host's house with food.
The Persians prepared a variety of foods, which were placed at the tables of each person with sufficient status, as well as at several long tables.
The long table was not on the side of the viewing platform, it was placed on the periphery, and the food was intended for ordinary people to enjoy.
The Han Chinese who came over were busy, giving Megapanos more of a sense of noise, and he opened his mouth many times to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Before Liu Yan crossed over, although Zhuxia's eating habits were diverse, they were inseparable from steaming and boiling, but in fact, the concept of "frying" was not born.
In terms of condiments in cooking, it has been used for a long time for the application of some Chinese medicinal materials, and the cooking method of "stewing" was born.
Liu Yan brought the cooking method of "stir-frying", and the Han Kingdom discovered a wide variety of spices in Nanyang, and a lot of dishes have been studied in the past two years.
Zhuxia also has its own etiquette in eating, which is reflected in the dining tools, and the Han people are busy with the dining tools first.
"What is that" Megapanos couldn't understand the dining tools of the Central Plains civilization, pointed to Xiao Ding on Huan Wen's table, and didn't get an answer and pointed to the tools on his table that were different from Huan Wen: "Why is he that, we are this" Except for Huan Wen, who is a marquis, who is qualified to use "Ding", according to the dining specifications of Zhuxia, no one is qualified to use "Ding" to serve food, resulting in everyone except Huan Wen using "Ding" is using "Kettle", but there is a charcoal fire under the same base to provide heat.
The kettle is a round-bottomed, footless vessel containing stewed meat, and when opened, the fragrance spreads immediately.
In addition to the kettle, there are also dining utensils such as retorts, mustaches, and cans, all of which are of different shapes.
For example, the retort is a very complex utensil, which is connected to the retort by a hollow grate, which is used to place food, and the food in the retort is cooked by using the steam in the retort.
In addition to the utensils of different shapes, daggers, chopsticks, beans, dishes, forks, etc. are readily available, and the Persians are actually confused when they see a complete set of utensils and tableware.
The Persians prepared food and utensils, which were actually all kinds of bread and meat, and the utensils were simple spoons, daggers, tongs, and forks.

They didn't prepare the soup, they substituted it with a variety of wines.
"What is this for" Megapanos was not happy except for being confused: "I dislike our food" Megapanos couldn't help but think about it, there were too many kinds of food brought by the Han people, there were dozens of dried and soups, each of which was pleasing to the eye and at the same time, it also had a fragrant fragrance that made the nose smell it.
Eltabama Sistios looked at the dazzling variety of food on his table, resisted the urge to swallow his saliva, and said, "His Highness Ardashir wrote back a letter, mentioning the delicacies of the Han Empire, and the letter is full of praise. ” Megapanos wasn't talking about whether the food was good or not, he just couldn't figure out what the Han people meant, whether they were here to smash the field.
On the other side, Huan Wen saw that what should be done had been done, first said "Gentlemen", then slowly stood up, and said loudly: "At this moment, the two countries meet here, how can there be no poetry."
Before the Persians could react, the Han people present all stood up, bowed to each other, and saluted Megapanos and Eltaba Masistius in unison, and before they could reply, they began to chant.
"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food.
I have guests, drummers and shengs.
Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will.
People are kind to me, show me to walk.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild artemisia.
I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao" It was from the deer song in the Book of Songs, which was originally a poem of the king's banquet and guests, and then it became a welcome etiquette that the guests needed to chant once, and the more formal the occasion, the easier it was to hear the deer singing.
Persians can't understand Chinese, but they can hear solemnity from the tune, but the tune is not static, when it should be solemn, it is more often full of joy and joy.
The language is different, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, but the music doesn't use too many languages, and the tunes are actually universal.
The chanting of the deer stopped, Huan Wen took the lead in raising the wine cup, the rest of the Han people raised the wine cup, and the Persians who were influenced by the ancient tune subconsciously followed suit.
Huan Wen snorted: "Drink together" The Han people raised the wine cup in their hands and responded in unison: "Drink the saint" A group of Persians are estimated to be confused, some of them use a strange tone to learn to shout "drink the saint", and some are in a daze to follow the Han people to raise an arm to cover up, the Han people have long sleeves, but the Persians do not, and drink water and wine together.
Raising the arm and covering it with long sleeves is a kind of courtesy of the Central Plains civilization, and the style of clothes plus a set of actions is actually part of the "etiquette".
While Eltabamasistius was looking at Megapanos face to face, Huan Wen made a new move.
Huan Wen waved his arms, and there were attendants who brought pots to everyone who was qualified to sit down, and after opening them, there was clear water.
Megapanos had already stopped talking several times, and when he saw that the basin was filled with water, he looked at Huan Wen in a daze.
Of course, the water in the pot is not for drinking, in fact, there will be people who bring a kind of "gui", which is used for diners to rinse their mouths and wash their hands.
Huan Wen grew up in a family of door valves, and he has been exposed to this set of dining procedures since he was a child, and no matter what the action is, it is fully elegant with the aristocracy.
Of the rest of the Han people with knighthoods, only a small number have been exposed to that set of dining procedures since childhood, and most of them have been temporarily trained not long ago.
The rhythm of the scene has been completely controlled by Huan Wen, not all Han people are familiar with the dining procedure, but the Han people at least have a prior training, and the Persians have no concept at all.
In fact, the Persians have been confused by the complicated dining etiquette, because they don't understand and don't dare to fool around, in order not to make jokes, they follow the Han people who can see it. “” Megapanos was already in a bit of a trance after being tossed for a while.
He actually refused at first, and then followed Huan Wen to do similar actions without even reacting to him, and his brain also had a good feeling of "tall, big, and up" because of that complex set of actions.
Huan Wen was leading the "trend" on one side, and on the other hand, he saw that the Persians were "involuntarily" following the study, and the corners of his mouth curled:
