The hit drama "The List" is called the work that the Virgo crew can be born. The costumes, the cost, and the number of gifts such as salute and sitting are called the most rigorous and most consistent with the historical facts. Today, I will send a technical sticker to tell you how to sit without the chair.
Sitting position 1.
Hey, stretch your legs and sit. The ancients were polite and polite, even if they were alone, they still had to be cautious.
One day, Mencius wanted to retire his wife, and Meng Mu asked him why, oh: Hey. It means: The lady is actually sitting on her legs... While sitting in the time of Mencius, it is considered ugly and rude, and Meng’s wife is in a disaster. Good Mengmu, teach Mencius: It’s really rude to take care of people’s private space without being prepared. So Mencius blamed himself and did not dare to go to women.
Sitting position 2.
The Eastern Han Dynasty's "Speaking Words" clearly shows how the ancients used to identify a person's identity and gender from a sitting posture.
All women, servants, and slaves (from the head of the female department) are bent and bowed, respectfully worshipping. The "Imperial" in the ancient east was once regarded as a non-family, because the reason they sat too much.
Don't sit still, let's not swear.
Yasheng Mencius, I hope that everyone in the world will follow the ceremony, and seeing the wife and the wife will be inevitable. Fortunately, Mengmu Tongda, with a gift of ceremonies, saved a marriage that was on the verge of breaking.
In the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor summoned the senior minister in the West Warming House of the Yang Xin Dian, he gave a sigh of relief, and the minister immediately thanked the holy grace, and then slammed into the felt mats (commonly known as military mats) placed in front of the imperial court. After the minister’s gratitude, he was still embarrassed.
The felt mat is the emperor's compassionate, and the officials with low grades are directly on the chilly bricks laid in the temple, even the ones outside the temple.
In ancient times, the most respectful "sitting" was squatting. This kind of sitting on the knees and the weight of the upper body falling on the ankles is physically the most space-saving, the most self-constrained in spirit, and the highest in form. Honor, it is a veritable surrender (the ancients bowed to worship).
Sitting position three.
In the palace, the ministers and deliberations, the clever ministers will, according to the content of the emperor’s speech, appropriately insert the pipa (sound bogey, long 跪 also) posture, and raise the waist plate straight, which is both a little relief and a sacred focus on the Hadith. Body language of concern, respect and admiration.
But he is ready to stand up. The ministers and the crickets must be alternated, otherwise it would be impatient to misunderstand the emperor.
This king is very impatient to see you.
Sitting position four.
In addition to squatting, the ancients were more relaxed and sitting cross-legged. It was not rude to "deep" on the ground and in bed. However, "踞" instead of "disk" is not in harmony! As mentioned earlier, there was a storm between the Mencius and the couple.
In the history, he was proud to sit in the big scene. Only Jing Hao, after he failed in the Qin Qin, he was injured and "laughed by the pillars and laughed and smashed" ("Historical Records: Jing Ke Chuan"), later generations thought that this was him. Heroic performance.
This is the case.
Sitting on the floor and not sitting casually
It is generally believed that the squatting of the ancients was a class social ritual between the Shang Dynasty (or even earlier) aristocratic class. After the Zhou Dynasty finishing, it rose to the rigorous "ceremony" category, becoming an authentic sitting posture of the ancient feudal society for more than 2,000 years, sitting on the authentic seat.
Simply put, "authentic" means "don't think you can sloppy things." Taking the "跪" that needs to be studied and trained as an authentic sitting posture, it shows that the sitting is highly valued. The authentic seat was also the "one stroke" (seat) in the beginning.
Yu Hexi became a legitimate seat under the formulation of Zhou Renming. After the first squatting, the big row of banquets.

Seat, laid on the raft. Xi, the ancient "seat", can be seen from the glyphs that the original seats have been woven with softer "grass". The word "bamboo" is used to make the floor more solid.
The hall of the emperor is covered with nine plaques, seven of the princes, and the rest are diminishing.
Nine, seven, five, and three are singular (positive numbers), which is highly symbolic in Chinese culture. It is seen from some of the remaining documents that some buildings have been opened before the Zhou Dynasty, resulting in the appearance of pillars in the center. After the week, they have been centered in the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps it is due to the establishment of the feast at this time.
Sitting on the ground, the furniture is low and simple, everyone sits on a block of seats according to the level, and lives a life of "sitting on the ground."
The ancients "places", sitting on the ground, can be very grand and serious. If you don't do well, there is also a "cutting-off" (breaking with friends, not sitting on a seat).
Nowadays, people say that "the floor" is sitting on the ground at random, and the meaning is very different.
