In the poem "Dedicating Mr. Li on New Year's Day", the neat sense of ceremony and solemn atmosphere of the wedding procession are highlighted: Han and Yi cultural relics welcome the New Year, and first frost is fighting before it is exhausted. The rosy clouds greet the dawn, and the red candles move thousands of spring. Depending on the mountain scenery, the crown is full of smoke. It is said that we were the first saints, and we tried to ask them.
In addition to the court officials in Beijing, local officials should also bring local specialties as tributes to Beijing for the New Year. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty empire made the Yuan Dynasty meeting extremely grand. During the whole activity, not only courtiers at home and abroad greeted the emperor, but also the rulers of various ethnic minority regimes and their countries came to greet the Tang emperor with big gifts and make friends with the Tang empire.
Emperor Taizong's Zheng Dan Facing the DPRK said: "A hundred people are afraid of you, and the world is endless. The words are crowned, the wheels are fully dressed, Yu Jingfei, and the bells and drums shake the rock gallery. " It is enough to show the elegance of the Tang Dynasty as a big country. Wang Jian's poem Yuan Ri Zao Chao said: "A great country is ready for rites and music, and all ethnic groups are in the right direction. The eastern color has not moved, the crown sword door is full, and so on. The Tang Dynasty took advantage of the great opportunity of the celebration of all nations to show national prestige, promote national laws and carry out diplomacy, which virtually promoted the exchanges and integration among all ethnic groups.
The etiquette of meeting on New Year's Day is very strict, and there are strict rules in many aspects. All procedures should be done step by step, and there is no room for any mistakes, otherwise, the salary of the light person will be reduced, and the serious person will be demoted. Press volume 0755-79000; Tang Xuanzong saluted him. " If you meet the prime minister, it is that the fire city will be completely extinguished. Or that he didn't fight in those days, that is, under the door of Zhongshu, hundreds of civil and military officials went to the east gate of the pavilion to celebrate. The minister announced the answer, and the foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites received various congratulations. Take the highest official, present it on the table and read it on your knees. The cupboard door pressed the lead meter in, but the cloud was released and the news was sent in. If there is a queen mother, the Prime Minister will take two classes to congratulate her. "
According to Pei Qingyu's "Southern New Book", "On the first day of the first month of the eleventh year of Dazhong, the Emperor Palace of the Han and Yuan Dynasties was presented to the audience, and Lu Jun was eighty years old. Walk from the south to the temple. Greet him. Give Lang a break and serve the court. 12 65438+ 10/month 1, congratulations to Hanyuan. Prince Shao Shi is also eighty years old in Liu Gongquan. As the head of a hundred officials, you can already show your strength to your highness from Lekou at the gate of Yuan Temple. Congratulations. The noble names are Saint Jingwensi and Emperor Xiaoguang. Public power is wrongly called guangwu and filial piety. If the suggestion pops up, you will be fined for one season. 70-year-old Canon, an official. Public power cannot obey the ceremony. When you are old and humiliated, people cherish it. "
As can be seen from the above two materials, the responsibility of reading congratulatory messages is often borne by the highest and most respected officials in North Korea; No matter how noble his position and status are, any rude behavior will undoubtedly be punished in the New Year's Day court. Even Liu Gongquan, who is "below one person and above ten thousand people", can't escape etiquette and is laughed at.
At the end of the court ceremony, the emperor
The mainstream poetry that should be written is a description of the grand occasion of the Yuan Dynasty, with gorgeous rhetoric and extremely empty content, mostly works that praise the emperor and whitewash the peace. For example, Wei Zhi said in the poem "The Story of the East View", "After the lark view, all nations will meet in Tu Shan." . The voice of teaching is everywhere, and a hundred schools of thought contend. Such poems should be written in a few ways, and from another aspect, they can also reflect the unprecedented grand occasion of the New Year's Party in the Tang Dynasty.
The situation of the New Year's Eve party in the Song Dynasty is roughly the same as that in previous dynasties. Before the official start of the New Year's Day meeting, officials outside the palace rushed to the meeting, while the emperor prayed for the people at this time, hoping that the weather would be good and the crops would be bumper in the coming year. After that, the emperor personally visited the anniversary hall. The generals of the four city halls stood in the corner of the hall, hanging banners and equipped with 5,000 guards of honor in Huang Ke. They filled the streets with gates. The atmosphere was solemn and the scene was very grand.
Then, the chronicle of Tang poetry was shown. Hundreds of officials, envoys of ethnic minorities and many envoys of the "Crown Dynasty" celebrated the emperor's birthday, knelt down and shouted many times, wishing the emperor "a long life" and presented carefully prepared tributes and local specialties. After the ceremony, the emperor will hold a banquet and give wine to comfort his ministers, while the envoys of various countries will hold a banquet in the embassy. There are detailed records in articles such as "Feng He Zheng Dan Zhao Chao" (Volume 6) and "Gan Anle":
"Zheng Dan big court discussion," driving in Daqing hall, with four people who grew up beside the solution of the governor, standing in the corner of the temple, known as the town hall general. All countries invite people to the ceremony, and officials are crowned and dressed in court. Lu has gone too far, and he is also a scholar with a class. His clothes are two crowns, and his white robe is green. States are playing an official role, and each political party has something to offer. ”。
The next day, the emperor held a banquet in the Royal Garden and invited his special envoy to watch the archery competition. The winner received an extra reward.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, due to political chaos, the Zheng Dan Parliament was stagnant, and Shaoxing lasted for five years. However, the national strength declined, and the scale of North Korea was significantly reduced, which was not the same as that of the previous dynasty.
