Strictly speaking, the crown and the crown are two concepts. But this object, which is generally buckled on the head, for the emperor, has the only meaning and exclusivity.
Crowns, very common, even monkeys can wear; The crown, on the other hand, is very different, it shows honor and identity. Therefore, in the Chinese world, there are words such as "coronation" and "defending the crown". However, the crown and the crown are inseparable, and it is inappropriate to use an analogy, which is roughly similar to the relationship between skin and hair. This derives the word "crown", which means that the crown, which necessarily contains a crown, is derived from the crown, but because of the invention of the crown, the crown is divided into identity levels.
The crown, to put it bluntly, is an ordinary hat, and the stream of car sellers can also buckle a top of something. The crown, which is very different, belongs to the extraordinary hat, which is a hat that can only be worn by the Son of Heaven, the prince, and the qing doctor. Therefore, the "Explanation of Words" specifically states: "Crown, the doctor is above the crown." ”
Now let's talk about the crown of the emperor. In China, there is no doubt that only those with the highest power can wear hats. It is generally composed of "綖", "旒", "缨", "紞", "紙", etc. 綖, that is, the rectangular plate on the top of the head, the front circle and the rear circle, which means the round place of heaven; 旒, that is, the beaded jade curtain hanging in front of the square plate, is generally made of multicolored silk threads through the multicolored beads and jade strings; Tassels, red silk ropes hanging from the left and right of the tiara; 紞, has a special purpose, is also made of silk rope, the lower end of the rope has a yellow cotton pill, the special term is called 黈纩; 纩, in fact, is the jade hanging on the head of the zhen, called 瑱, because the two pieces of 瑱 are located right next to the left and right ears, so it is also known as ear filling and ear plug; How is the crown fixed to the head? Using something called a jade fence is actually a hairpin commonly known as a hairpin; The two ends of the jade fence are tied with vermilion ribbons around the chin, so that the entire crown can be fixed, called a ribbon.
The following is specifically about 旒, which is the beaded curtain that stands in front of Tianzi's eyes, and the standard scientific title is called Jade Algae. The number of roots of the beaded curtain is exquisite, the crown of the Son of Heaven is twelve (if it is said that there are twelve before and after, then there are a total of twenty-four). Princes nine (eighteen), upper doctor seven (fourteen), lower doctor five (ten). From a visual point of view, the bead curtain hanging in front of the eyes will obviously affect the line of sight, so why hang it?
Ordinary people at first thought that there was no special meaning, and when they watched the TV series, they also thought that the ancients designed it in this way, just to show the majesty and sacredness of the emperor. Recently, read the Book of Han. The Biography of oriental Shuo Lie", after some clicks from the Oriental Lord, only then did he suddenly understand that the original design of this "旒" was of great significance.
Look at the incisive explanation of Mr. Dongfang Shuo, who said: "When the water is clear, there is no fish, and when people are aware, there is no disciple." Crowned and forward, so concealed; The skull is full of ears, so Seduncong. The clear has not seen, the wisdom has not heard, the great virtue, the forgiveness of the minor, and the righteousness of one person has not been asked for. ”
What does that mean? He said that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and if a person is too demanding to understand, he will be high and lack believers and friends. - This is the basis of theoretical thinking. Therefore, as the emperor who rules over all the peoples, he wears a special hat on his head, and the beaded curtain is placed on the front of the hat, which is used to properly block the line of sight, and the jade block next to the ears is blocked, precisely to properly reduce the sense of hearing. Pay attention to the words "blinding" and "filling the ears", which are very graphic, shield the eyes and plug the ears.
Why deliberately cover the eyes of some emperors and block his ears? The Oriental Lords said that the main energy of being an emperor should be spent on rewarding people of great virtue, ignoring and forgiving people's small mistakes, and never demanding that everyone be perfect.
So, the setting of Xu is basically to prevent the emperor's perfection from blaming? Not really. The beaded curtain hanging in front of Tianzi's eyes reflects the philosophical thought of Chinese, the way of the middle way. Even if he is an emperor ordained by the Mandate of Heaven, everything should not be too true, and when he should turn a blind eye, he must also turn a blind eye, it is rare to be confused!
With this incident alone, we suddenly figured out why Chinese has never loved to talk about science, and the Chinese philosophy of human feelings and sophistication is unmatched by no one in the world; China's "law" cannot be said to be unsound, but "opening the net" is commonplace.
