Many film and television dramas have the emperor solemnly holding a "nine tin" bridge section for the courtiers, so do you know what is "nine tin"? "Tin" in ancient times was used by the word "give". Rather than calling it "Nine Gifts", it is more accurate to give nine ceremonial instruments, which are the number of peaks, and these nine things are also the highest courtesies that an emperor can give to his subordinates.
Although the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance, the gift of power means that they are the real people in the DPRK, who are in charge of the power of life and death, and the emperor, ahem, will take his place sooner or later. Therefore, the Emperor jiajiu xi 100% was not extremely reluctant in his heart! As long as nine tins are added, it indicates that one's own position is not secure, either forced to abdicate or be completely eliminated in history, and the ancestral inheritance is about to be handed over to outsiders.

In any case, for the courtiers, Jiajiuxi was an important step towards the throne for them and their descendants, and from then on, jiangshan was one step away from them.
Well, anyway, whether your emperor wants to or not, the wolf's ambition, the powerful courtier wants you to give these nine things that symbolize the supremacy of power to show the world, you are giving or not giving, but you can't help you!
So, what makes us curious is that what are the nine kinds of ceremonial instruments that are remembered by countless people who have reached the peak of power? Dandgandgdang ~ Answer revealed: The Later Han Shu Yuan Shao Biography clearly states, "Nine tins, one car and horse, two clothes, three Le County, four Zhuhu, five Majesty, six tigers and one hundred people, seven axes, eight bows, nine qi [chàng]. It sounds simple, but it's a lot of mystery.
First of all, this carriage and horse is not affordable for ordinary people! It is the Golden Cart and the Soldier Chariot, and at the same time includes the Xuanmu Ersi, which is the eight black horses.
Different carriages are different
The golden car is a car decorated with gold for the emperor to ride. It was not a lonely carriage with only a carved dragon and phoenix, in front of it, it drove six high-headed horses, and then often accompanied by five-colored standing cars and five-color ann chariots, also known as five-hour auxiliary cars, driving four horses to accompany, far-reaching, Golden Root Shine with a squirming, Dragon Ji Tengqi [xiāng] and Pei Ai luxury, "Jingen, Rui che also." "It is conceivable that under the sunshine, the car that shines with the golden light and the sun will pass by you, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven will make you unconsciously bow your head to show respect!"
Clothes are not available to the people of the world! It is the crowned garment worn by the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Being, plus a pair of matching red shoes. The emperor could not wear it casually and regularly, and could only wear it during major celebrations such as the Heaven and Earth Festival and the Zongmiao Temple.
This set has been worn and worn, and the abacus beads in the film and television drama on the head are "Gun Crown", and the upper end of the cylindrical hat roll covers a wide copper plate of one foot two inches and two feet and four inches long, but you cannot say that it is a copper plate, it must be called a silk [yán], the silk board is not long strip, and the front circle behind symbolizes the distant place of heaven, wrapped in soap yarn, representing that the emperor is to manage the world for the heavens. There are 12 beads in front of and behind the board, and the liú [ liú] vernacular is the bead of the abacus bead, with 12 multicolored silk ropes, each wearing 12 multicolored jade beads, each with a spacing of one inch hanging on the board.
The ancients felt that "12" is the number of heavens, by observing that in a year's time, the moon has 12 profits and losses, representing the endless cycle of the sun and the moon, and the heavenly stem and earth branch is also commonly used to guide nongsang, and because the emperor is nine, plus the heaven and earth people, so the twelve beads can not be more than not less!
Composition of the crown
There are other important parts of the main part of the crown that you may not know! Red silk rope hanging from the left and right of the tiara plate. 紞 [dǎn], that is, the silk rope is a tassel; the topaz is hung on the tassel, hanging next to the two ears, also known as ear filling, ear plug! A red band crosses the middle of the crown plate, representing the Tianhe River and also adding to the beauty of the crown dynamics.
The emperor wears such a crown, to be honest, it is very uncomfortable, the neck can not move randomly, to do it straight, a random move of beads mixed together to listen to the frame is very funny!
This design is nothing more than hoping that the emperor will know that there is no fish when the water is clear, and there is no vain when people are observed! We must not see what we see, what we do not hear, what we have to do, what we have to do, what we have to do, what we have to do, what we have to say, what we have to say, what we have
And the costumes worn, the color shape is more complicated, we will mainly talk about the twelve chapters embroidered on it! The so-called twelve chapters are the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and insects, six kinds of weaving in clothes, Zong Yi, algae, fire, powder rice, mochi, and huang embroidered in clothes, a total of twelve patterns!
Stills from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Emperor Xiandi of Han
The sun, moon, and stars are called "three lights", taking its meaning of "illumination"; the mountain, which can carry the clouds and rain, and the people look up to it, take the meaning of its town weight; the dragon, which changes without a direction, takes its god; the Chinese insect is the pheasant, the pheasant with beautiful feathers, representing the literary style, taking its text; Zong Yi, as the altar vessel of the Zongmiao Temple, paints the tiger, the scorpion wě two beasts, the tiger, is taken from its severity, paints the "scorpion" (a kind of long-tailed ape), is taken from its wisdom; algae, the algae of the seaweed, the algae of the flowers, the literati of the water and grass, take its text, take its purity, the fire even if it is a flame, take its light, pink rice, That is, white rice, taken from its white can raise people; the mole as an axe, the blade is white and the [qióng] black, the hole in the handle of the axe, taking its meaning of being able to break; the shape of the mole is very similar to the Asian Ya of traditional characters! For the sake of "亜", it is very similar to two "selfs" or two "bows" that go against each other, taking the meaning of the subject turning back evil to the good, and also taking the king and the subject to the clutch, and going to the reason.
Han Dynasty crown costume
Anyway, it is very abstract, but the courtiers feel that this can be a glorification of the king's power has great political significance, then they are free to do it!
Come to Le County again, what is this? Also known as "that is, music suspension", the ancients played and sang music cells developed, music suspension is a special fixed tone, tuning instruments.
Zhuhu refers to the red lacquered gate. Why is it sometimes called Jumen wine meat smell.
Jumen
His Majesty was originally the staircase when the imperial palace met the Tianzi ascending the temple, and his majesty was a specially chiseled step, so that the ascendant did not show up, which was equivalent to a VIP passage.
Tiger Ben, the original meaning is like a tiger running bravely, chasing wild beasts. Extended to the warrior, The Tiger Ben has also become the guardian of the Arch Guard Gyeonggi, which is also one of the few mighty flesh ritual instruments such as a real person to play the role of a spear in hand!
Bronze cymbals
Axes and arrows need no more words!
The last one, the incense for the ceremony, is made from rare black and tulips!
These nine kinds of ceremonial instruments are connected, that is, the one who receives this carriage and horse must be the Lord of high virtue and admiration of the people, the man who wears clothes and hats is the one who makes the people happy, the One who gives is the one who makes the people happy, Zhu Hu means that there are many people, Na Majesty is the one who can enter the good, the tiger is the one who can retreat from evil, the bow is that he can reward and punish the unrighteous, the axe can kill the guilty, and the Straw Man has the intention of filial piety and closeness to the people. After all, in ancient times, filial piety was very important!
After giving you nine tins, the ritual of worshiping heaven and earth is completed, and you have the legitimacy of the people that all people expect! This is all based on Zhou Lilai, thinking that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the qi huan duke Kuiqiu, the head of the five hegemons, would make an alliance, and defeat the princes who were disrespectful to Tianzi, Xiao Bai was already invincible in the world, and Zhou Tianzi gave him the bow and arrow and the carriage and horse used by Tianzi; When The Duke Wen of Jin defeated the Chu state after the Five Hegemons and was proud of the crowd, Zhou Tianzi hurriedly gave him bows, arrows, carriages, horses, and horses, and so on, all of which represented Zhou Tianzi's recognition of their supremacy and could in the future represent Tianzi to conquer other disobedient princes.
Duke Huan of Qi
The symbolism is very significant!
But such a domineering figure they didn't suffer from Nine Tin at that time, just a few of them!
After having the emperor, from the Qin to the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor did have a record of rewarding the nine tins to the great ministers and military generals, and the objects in the nine tins were also slightly different, but no one under his subjects dared to accept them!
On the one hand, maybe this is the emperor's means of temptation, who will take who dies! On the other hand, Shi Jiu Xi is still a supreme glory, which has not yet been stigmatized, and as long as it can be nominated, it can glorify its descendants!
But until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the situation changed a lot!
Portrait of Wang Mang after jiajiu tin
The ambitious Wang Mang, in accordance with his ideals of the Datong society, redesigned and promulgated the ritual system to be followed by the whole world according to the Zhou Li in only one month, in which the nine tins received by the chancellor, "Le County" were replaced by "Jue Zhen" (ancient jade handle wine vessels).
At that time, Wang Mang's prestige was like the sun in the sky, and all the courtiers thought that he was the first moral model in the ages, and how could the Duke of An Han bear his merits, so everyone rushed up and asked the imperial court to add nine tins and commend him! The empress dowager, Wang Mang's aunt Wang Zhengjun, came to the front hall and gave Wang Mang Jiuxi in vain.
Wang Mang was no longer as modest as those princes of the previous dynasty, and directly agreed to come down! Became a ruler who had never been fully accepted by the ancients! After receiving the gift, he enjoyed the same special courtesies as the emperor, such as clothing, carriages and horses, guards, sacrifices, and residences, and held the power of killing and conquest.
But soon, the acting emperor Wang Mang was still unable to satisfy his desire for power, and with the support of everyone, he brazenly abolished the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty.
With such an example, four hundred years later, the Han Dynasty declined, and Cao Cao, who ordered the princes, to accept Emperor Xiandi's "Nine Tins" as the King of Wei, strictly calculated that Emperor Xiandi of Han gave him ten ceremonial instruments according to his requirements, that is, as mentioned earlier, there were finally nine things outside of "Le County", and was it not fine wine? Wang Mang's Juju was retained as a wine vessel that was used as a matching vessel for the squid, but it was still called Jiu Xi.
Although Cao Cao did not become emperor until his death, Cao Pi eventually established Cao Wei under Zen. Subsequently, Sun Quan of the State of Wu was also awarded the Nine Xi by Cao Wei and soon became emperor, and later, Sima Yi was awarded the Nine Xi by Cao Wei after he destroyed Cao Shuang, and his son Sima Zhao was also awarded the Nine Tins, and at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, The Hui Emperor Sima Zheng was held hostage by the King of Zhao, and Sima Lun immediately corrected the Jin Hui Emperor to take the throne, proclaiming himself emperor, and the Western Jin Dynasty collapsed, and the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, and the founding emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties during the Southern and Northern Dynasties were all powerful generals, who first added nine tins and then called the emperor instead. The emperor is your party to sing I appeared, the inherent process of changing the dynasty is: "Qing Jun's side - Quan Chen's nine tin - zen" three-step song will be called emperor in the future.
Sima Yan
Jiu Xi, which was originally the supreme honor, gradually became synonymous with usurpation and completely stinked. Like the Shu Han Dynasty, Li Yan had urged Zhuge Liang to accept the Nine Tins, but was rejected by the sober-headed Zhuge Liang. He righteously said that he had not been able to answer the thief now, that he had not answered his confidant, that he was sitting on his own dignity, and that he was not righteous. If Wei Qirui is destroyed, the emperor will return to his former residence and rise with his sons, although ten lives can be endured, the situation is worse than the nine evils!
In view of the lessons of history, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had a hard time establishing the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyi, who was born in the army, used various methods to highly concentrate imperial power, and the emperors of later generations gradually strengthened, the power of the generals was suppressed, and the usurpation of the throne by the nine Xi courtiers did not happen. Only the eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty was asked to add nine tin by his castrated party. Until the Qing Dynasty, the feudal imperial power was at its peak, and Jia jiu xi completely disappeared in history.
