An embroidery needle that travels through time and space – revealing the humorous chronicle behind the Divine Decree.
At a rather unusual moment of the day, Shangguan Gu Jiu was suddenly brought into the long river of history by a mysterious force. found that he was in a feudal society, and he also held a key position - the supervisor of the production of the holy decree.
He thought he was just a writer, and he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to witness the birth of the "Divine Decree", a symbol of power. Therefore, he decided to record what he saw and heard, so that people in the future can also do it.
First of all, let us look back at the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, which is not only the accumulation of time, but also the countless roars of "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict".
However, do you know that behind every decree filled with the scent of ink and scheming, there is a little-known humor and sourness?
Let's start with the feudal era, which was a time when there was a daily possibility of beheading, exile, or promotion. At that time, it was not as simple as posting a Weibo message to the emperor to issue an order. You have to find a eunuch to rattle the bell and shout, "Enlighten the emperor", then the prime minister will write it (because the emperor is busy building the Great Wall or making a harem), and then the professional embroiderer will embroider the word "Feng" on the most gorgeous silk with gold thread.
These silks are not just any kind of silk, they must be high-end colors of jacquard brocade. The color is usually yellow, because the dragon king boss likes it the most, and then inlaid with gold and silver edges.
As for the size, of course, the bigger the better!
After all, we Chinese love this bite.
This was followed by a demonstration of the craftsmen's exquisite skills. They had to paint the dragon pattern to life, and the silver dragon shimmered.
After all, in feudal society, "if you are not afraid of Comrade God in doing things, you are afraid that Comrade God will come to check". Therefore, the question of authenticity is greater than the sky. As for the shaft handle of the holy decree, it is even more knowledgeable: a first-class official uses a jade shaft, indicating that your family is very rich;The second-rank official used black rhinoceros horns to indicate that you are also quite good;Below the third grade. Well. Wood is good.
After the introduction of the three-province six-ministry system during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the edict drafting and review process became more formalized – but then again, if you could survive to retirement age at that time, you would be a real winner.
All right!I won't say much about the historical cases (in fact, I can't remember), but I can guarantee that the scenes in the TV series are basically reliable - except for the special effects that are slightly rendered. I hereby declare: All of the above content is produced by Shangguan Gu Jiu's brain, and it is not a work with rigorous evidence, please do not sit in the right seat.
We just want to convey positive energy and a sense of humor – and at the same time promote positive social values
In short, in this historical journey through time, it is clear that the "Divine Decree" is much more complex and humorous than we imagined.
The next time someone mentions the Divine Decree, you may be tempted to laugh out loud – after all, you already know that behind it lies the golden threads that fly in the hands of the craftsmen and the efforts of the emperor, which are the perfect crystallization of power and art.
