Since coming to Chang'an, visitors from other countries have had a few days to wander, but behind them are officials from the Honglu Pavilion, and some of the etiquette taught by Julian has a great interest in learning the etiquette of the Han Empire.
The Honglu Pavilion is not limited to the post house where the Roman royal family is located, but all foreign visitors are there Honglu Pavilion personnel.
The Roman royal family and the Sassanid royal family went to Shaocheng, and several kings who came in person went to Langzhong, and the lower the rank of the foreign visitor, the lower the official position.
The officials of the Honglu Pavilion were to teach the etiquette of the Han family to foreign visitors, and if they usually taught them how to deal with the Son of Heaven, Julian and other foreign visitors caught up with Liu Yan's ceremony of becoming emperor, and they would be arranged to observe the ceremony, so naturally there would be more procedures.
There are strict requirements for what kind of etiquette should be performed when meeting someone, what kind of appearance should be when you get there, and even the posture of walking and how far you should walk.
"Why didn't the Son of Han arrange for Helena and Helena," Childe said uneasily, "Is it that the Son of Han Heaven wants to refuse to marry?"
Childe came to the Han Empire on behalf of the Ji 1 Governor 1 Sect, not to mention meeting the Son of Heaven at present, and he has not even met a slightly influential Han Empire official.
There were many intentions for the Ji 1 Governor and 1 Sect to come to the Han Empire, including preaching 1 Teaching, but they knew that things could not be too urgent, and they had to take their time.
Regarding the marriage, Julian has already handed over the credentials, and after accepting it, Honglu Pavilion also gave a reply, to the effect that he needs to be presented to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has a decision to inform him in time, and then there is no more.
The situation on the Persian side was similar to that of the Romans, who also submitted a letter of state regarding marriage, and received a reply that not only did the text not even change the punctuation, but also relaxed the Romans.
"Bishop Child, haven't you received an official reply to your request to Changguang County" Julian didn't like Childe, not because Childe was fat and big-eared, many of the clergy in the Church were tied to their weight, and the archbishop was even so fat that he needed servants to carry him around.
He said: "It is the religious confluence of the Han Empire, and it is indeed necessary for you to go to the field. ” The religious atmosphere in the Han Empire was not warm, and there were no central official positions related to religion except for the Zongmiao and the Stargazing Department.
Changguang County is the place where the soldiers of the Han army died in battle, and some non-soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the country are also eligible to be buried there after their deaths.
Because it is a national-level cemetery, it naturally needs special people to manage it, including some clergy required for burial ceremonies.
Every year, the state will hold a large-scale public sacrifice, which is usually presided over by ministers at the level of the three princes and nine secretaries sent by the center, and it is inevitable that some ceremonies will be performed by clergy, and some departments related to religion have been set up there.
Envoys from various countries came to the Han Empire, except for the initial journey from Jingkou to Chang'an, and they could not run around at will without permission.
Not only the Han Empire had such regulations, in fact, every country in the world had the same regulations.
The people in the room were waiting, and they were about to go to the Temple of Heaven to watch the ceremony.
Today is the first day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Yuan Shuo, which was called Shuo Day in ancient times, and later changed to New Year's Day, which is a grand holiday every year.
The first ceremony took place at the Temple of Heaven, followed by Miyagi.
Since Emperor Xiaowu of Han changed the Yuan, the last day of December is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the first day of each year is Spring Festival.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole Chang'an City has the excitement of the festival, after dinner, bonfires everywhere, and the sound of explosions at midnight resounded throughout the city.
Those actions were all aimed at deterring the Year Beast.
According to legend, the Spring Festival was not a joyous day at first, when a fierce beast appeared and cannibalized people, and when it was found that the fierce beast was afraid of fire, it had the habit of lighting a bonfire every year.
Bamboo is a very easy to burn plant, each section of the bamboo will make an explosion sound when it is burned, and it is found that the beast is afraid of the explosion, and the material of the bonfire burning behind it changes again and again, and it has become another custom to throw bamboo into it to listen to the explosion.
No one knows whether the beast exists, and the custom of burning a fire and jumping back and forth on the first day of the New Year has been passed down, and the custom of burning bamboo has also been inherited, and after waiting for gunpowder to appear, it has become a firecracker.
The visitors from all over the world also had a Han-style New Year last night, and they slept late and were woken up early, and their spirits were actually a little bad.
"I just looked out the window."
Helena is also dressed in a dress, but Rome really did not study the clothing enough, and after inheriting the characteristics of Greek civilization, it was copied, it was a silk dress, that is, the pattern on the skirt was richer, and there was a golden crown of olive branches and leaves on her head: "You can see people everywhere." ” "The city has more than a million inhabitants."
Flavies was dressed in military uniforms, and it should be said that the men of the Roman legation were dressed similarly, and they could not always wear Roman men's dresses that would be seen in their private parts when the wind blew: "Today is their traditional festival, and it is still the time for the emperor of the Han Dynasty." ” In fact, most of them had gone upstairs and observed from the windows, and could see people walking everywhere, and the main street was lined with people standing eager to see the chariots of the Son of Heaven.
The other avenues are better, and the avenue that leads directly to the Temple of Heaven in Miyagi is called a sea of people.
"Our August 15 will be so lively."
Julian was referring to the Roman festival of August: "Speaking of which, our August festival is very similar to the Spring Festival of the Han Chinese. ” There are many festivals in Rome, but some festivals such as Christmas and Halloween do not exist at the moment.
They will also celebrate the New Year, but they are not taken very seriously, they will get up early to celebrate some gods, the atmosphere of the sect is stronger, and then there are festivals for some famous greats.
The August Festival is a festival dedicated to the holding of balls, and it is also one of the grandest festivals of the Romans.
On that day, the Romans would prepare their costumes for the ball, and they would dress themselves up in such a splendid light that no one would wear the new clothes they had worn in previous years.
At the same time, the preparation of the ball must be preceded by a shopping spree, a rich meal for the guests, and some items to decorate the house.
When the Han people celebrate the New Year, they will inevitably prepare new clothes in advance if conditions permit, and they will have to eat a good meal after working hard for so long in a year, and the house will be decorated with some festive decorations.
In that respect, the Han New Year is really too similar to the August Festival of the Romans, which is why Julian said that it is similar to the Han Spring Festival.
Everyone was chatting, and officials from the Han Empire came to the post house.
It was the young eunuch of the Honglu Pavilion who came, and the Romans couldn't understand the official position of the Han Empire, and when they saw that they had brought a lot of adjutants, they judged that the young eunuch should be a not low official position.
"Check your attire."
Young Eunuch Liu Dao was already observing after entering the door, and he was actually stunned when he saw the Roman costume: "You are wearing costumes."
The Romans were too frugal according to the aesthetics of Zhuxia, and the Roman men in military uniforms were actually fine, and the rest were all simple group dresses, and the simplicity of the styles made people wonder if Rome had opened a development line called clothing art.
When the Romans were asked, they didn't know how to answer, there were so many styles of their clothes, and it was not as complicated as the costumes of Zhuxia to distinguish whether they were dressed or not, that is, the patterns of the clothes and some jewelry.

There are many styles of clothing on this side of Zhuxia, and there is a set of standard clothing for various occasions, which usually requires a number of clothes to match, and then look at the color and pattern to distinguish the grade.
For example, the crown dress worn by the Son of Heaven is a crown, a top, a bottom, boots, a knee cover, and a ribbon to form the whole, and the marquis's dress is only different from the crown of the Son of Heaven in some details.
Seeing that no one answered, Director Liu didn't care, nodded and said, "You need to go as soon as possible, don't wait for a fool." ” When Honglu Hall came to teach etiquette, he made it very clear that there was no such thing as a halfway position when watching the ceremony, and there was and urine to hold, even if he couldn't hold it, he definitely couldn't leave half a step.
The Romans did not understand the etiquette of the Han Empire, and if they were in a strong position, they would definitely protest, but the problem was that they were not in a strong position, and they were even a little afraid of the military strength of the Han Empire, so they chose to understand very rationally.
Liu Dao gave ten minutes and decided that he would not give the Romans another second.
The Romans had already chosen to cooperate, and then they lined up according to their own internal agreed structure, and followed Liu Dao out of the post house.
No one asked why they were walking instead of taking the car, they already knew in advance that there were a very few people today, and there was no one in Chang'an City who could take the car no longer in the etiquette procedure.
Out of the post house, you need to walk a long way to enter the Vermilion Bird Avenue, they are under the guidance of Director Liu, and there is a team of Praetorian Guards dressed in gorgeous military uniforms on the left and right.
It was not that the streets were devoid of people, and they saw officials leading a procession of foreign visitors, and there were no people standing in the way.
None of the Romans who marched in the formation spoke, because they had been instructed not to speak freely.
The Romans could not speak and could think in their heads, and they had two biggest impressions after coming to the Han Empire, the first was that the Han Empire had a frighteningly high rate of men, women, and children, and the second was that the Han people pursued order and respected order.
When they arrived at Suzaku Avenue, they were shocked by the crowds of people around them, and after Director Liu signaled that they could relax temporarily, they all admired the number of Han people, and curiously commented on the clothing of Han people.
Director Liu stayed here according to the procedure.
They would meet the visitors from other countries here, and the last time they would check the clothes of the visitors, and the process of checking was to make sure that none of the visitors were carrying weapons, and then they would give a final instruction and repeat what they should observe in a wait.
The Persians came only about five minutes later than the Romans.
"The clothes on their bodies are in full costume," Director Liu asked his colleague Zhou Bian, comparing the costumes of the Persians and the Romans: "At least they are more gorgeous than the Romans." ” The current Persians are not the Persians of later generations, and they wear and go in that robe.
There are many types of Persian clothing, and most of the non-military Persian men wear robes with upper robes and lower trousers, the upper robe is wide and long to the thighs, and the lower body is loose trousers, which are very bright in color and have complex patterns or patterns.
The Persian woman's dress is very eye-catching, the main body looks like a skirt, there are two types of knee-length and ankle-length, the upper body is dressed in a waistcoat, the outside is draped in a gauzy trench coat, and the head wears a pointed crown that the Han people do not understand, and the face below the bridge of the nose is covered by a veil supported by two ears.
The gauzy trench coat is nothing more than ornamental clothing, it seems to be a material with gold threads or leads, and they are embroidered with beautiful patterns, and the threads are always shining in the sun.
Since it is a gauzy trench coat, it will be transparent, and it can't cover the upper body that the vest is completely tight, and the beautiful chest curve, the thin bee waist and the upturned hips show the beauty that belongs to women.
After waiting for a while, the viewing teams from several other countries arrived one after another, inspecting and playing and listening to the final teachings, and the huge procession began to enter the Suzaku Avenue.
Almost as soon as the Crown Troupe entered the Suzaku Avenue, bursts of cheers were heard in the distance.
Because they were repeatedly reprimanded and warned about the consequences of not observing Han etiquette, the foreign visitors who lined up did not speak.
Just when the curiosity of foreign visitors was about to explode, the Han people standing on both sides of the street also cheered and followed, and the sudden cheers shocked some foreign visitors almost lost their temper.
The city soon became a sea of cheers, and the vast majority of people had no idea what they were cheering for.
The first place to cheer was at the gate of Miyagi.
The reason is that the gate of Miyagi was opened, and the left and right gates walked out of the marquis and below, and the middle gate was a group of marquis who came out, and their appearance made the onlookers cheer.
When they first arrived, the group from all over the world aroused the interest of the Han people, but no one cheered for it.
Nowadays, the Han people have a very simple idea, and they don't feel that there is anything to welcome the foreigners at all, and they even think that the appearance of the foreigners in the capital is unsightly.
Han people who come to pay tribute will think that it is as ordinary as the rising and setting of the sun, and it is rare not to come to pay tribute.
After entering the Vermilion Bird Avenue, there were no Han officials in front of the foreign viewing group, and Liu Dao and Zhou Wei walked on the left and right sides of the street.
At the insistence of the Romans and Persians, they divided into two columns and marched side by side, with the rest of the small states naturally following behind.
They repeatedly admired the behavior of the Han people standing outside the yellow line on both sides of the Suzaku Avenue, and the fact that there was no soldier organization on both sides of the Zhuque Avenue:
