In the long history of our country, the costumes of ancient emperors have always been full of mystery, attracting countless people to explore. Among them, the "crown" worn by the emperor is even more eye-catching. What kind of secret is hidden in this seemingly peculiar high hat? Today, I will lead you to unveil this veil of mystery and explore the story behind the "crown".
"Crown" originated from the Yellow Emperor and is the most valuable of the ancient ceremonial crowns. Over thousands of years, it has been perfected and used by successive emperors. In fact, not only the emperor, but also the princes and doctors will wear the "crown" when participating in major events, such as sacrifices. This can't help but make us sigh that the variety of ancient rituals is breathtaking.
The "crown" consists of a hat and a "curtain" in front of it. The long board in the middle of the hat is called "Yan", which symbolizes the cosmic concept of "the sky is round and the place is round". The "door curtain" is composed of 5 colors of silk rope and 12 pieces of jade, which is rich in meaning. The five colors of jade represent Zhu, Bai, Cang, Huang, and Xuan, and each piece of jade is 1 inch apart from each other, and each piece is 12 inches long. Such a design not only reflects the noble status of the ancient emperor, but also highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of our country.
So, what exactly is the function of "corona"? First of all, it is a status symbol. In ancient times, the number and color of the jaw varied according to the identity of the user and the severity of the ceremony. For example, the Son of Heaven uses 12 sacrifices to the heavens, while the princes only need 5 to sacrifice to the heavens. This regulation undoubtedly demonstrates the rigorous attitude of the ancient emperors towards etiquette.
Secondly, "Mian Han" has a meaning. The "door curtain" in front blocked the emperor's eyes, which meant that the emperor could not see things too clearly, and should have insight into the general situation and tolerate small flaws. At the same time, the "door curtain" also blocked the emperor's face, making it impossible for the people below to see the emperor's expression at a glance, giving people an unfathomable feeling. This design not only reflects the majesty of the emperor, but also highlights the mystery of the ancient emperor.
It is worth mentioning that on the ribbons close to the ears on both sides of the "crown", there is also a pearl and jade named "Yun'er". This is not really stuffed into the ear, but tied next to the ear, reminding the emperor not to listen to slander. This detail shows the wisdom of the ancient emperors in governing the country.
In addition, the "crown" also has the function of reminding the emperor to pay attention to his manners. It is very difficult to walk with a "crown", and if you walk fast, you will be "slapped in the face". Therefore, when the emperor wore the "crown", he had to raise his head and chest and correct his demeanor. This design not only reflects the majesty of the emperor, but also warns the emperor not to lose his manners.
With the development of history, the "crown" was gradually replaced by the black gauze hat. The black gauze hat also has the role of supervision, reflecting the wisdom of the ancients in the details and strict requirements for the first behavior.
In short, "Crown" is a wonderful flower in the costume of the ancient emperors of our country, which not only reflects the noble status of the ancient emperors, but also highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of our country. And the meaning and function behind it show the wisdom of the ancient emperors in governing the country. I hope that through this article, you can have a deeper understanding of "Crown" and feel the charm of ancient etiquette.
