Chapter 695

A San has its own four level caste system, and the Persian Sassanian also has its own four levels. In fact, the Central Plains civilization has also made its own division of taxi, agriculture, industry and commerce.

What is different from the civilization in the Central Plains is that when a considerable number of other civilizations divide social classes, religious 1 religions usually occupy a very high position. In addition to the royal family of the country, the class of the second level will basically be religious groups.

Ah San has Brahmans, and Sasan has Zoroastrian monks; A San has sardili, and SA Shan also has professional warriors; A San has a barking house, and Sasan has a bureaucratic and scribe class; The difference of the fourth level is that a San's civilian status is inferior to that of the common people in Pisan; If there is anything else, there are slaves in the same way. Ah San's slaves have more status than Dalits in some aspects.

Si Hongzhuang was a little confused when he saw the so-called yelbo. The reason is that someone would wear a big robe from head to toe in hot weather. Aren't you afraid of being suffocated?

The so-called "yelbo" is a professional title of Yiyi religion, which translates into "sacrificial priest of fire". Yelbo's status is at the same level as the "mubede" of Yiyi religion, which is the main religion in a region and presides over the educational affairs of a parish. The difference between the two is that mubede basically stays in one place to preside over the educational administration, while yelbo has the task of moving around to spread faith.

In fact, Zoroastrianism is also a name of the Central Plains. Its real name is Zoroastrianism. Another name is called "fire worship" by the Central Plains. They were expelled in the Middle East with the demise of Persian Sassanian, and probably spread to the Central Plains in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Instead of Zoroastrianism, isi-lan-1 religion flourished in the Middle East. With the continuous expansion of Arabs with machetes and scriptures, isi-lan-1 religion also began its own prosperity. It once became the most popular religion in the world and was widely spread in Asia, Africa and Europa.

With the emergence of yierbo, Si Hongzhuang and other Han people fully saw what ostentation is. It was Hula. A large group of people dressed in religious characteristics opened the way. That yierbo was accompanied not only by fully armed warriors, but also by Meiji.

"Each one is so thick..." Si Hongzhuang looked at those people who wear thick clothes. They all have flame signs. It seems that they are graded according to the badge of clothes: "what's the origin?"

Eltaba Mathistius had just asked Si Hongzhuang to meet their yelbo, but he frowned when he saw that Si Hongzhuang didn't come forward to meet them at all.

To tell the truth, although the Central Plains Civilization said that it respected the first religion, it would not do anything to elevate the status of the first religion, and it has always been the royal power to suppress the divine power. People will believe and worship the first religion, but there will be very few crazy believers and disciples. Moreover, the fear and respect for the first religion are far less than the royal power (government).

Different civilized societies and different ideas, Si Hongzhuang will warmly receive eltaba, who is both an aristocrat and a general Marcistius, but that's what happens to yerber.

Si Hongzhuang certainly saw eltaba Marcistius frowned and was surprised at eltaba Why should marcistius be so unhappy? Out of the politeness of his host, he asked.

It's not easy about religion, eltaba It is impossible for mathistius to ignore yelbo and simply remind Si Hongzhuang that yelbo has a great influence in bossasan.

As soon as Si Hongzhuang heard that he was a clergyman, he didn't care, but he should give some face to welcome him.

Yelbo, who didn't know his name, was impatient, but he didn't move forward. He stayed where he was waiting for the meeting of the specifications. When he saw Si Hongzhuang coming, he lifted his robe over his head and face and stretched his hands slightly.

A little closer, Si Hongzhuang saw yelbo's appearance and was surprised that yelbo was so young and had a handsome and excessive face. He took a few steps forward and saw that with yelbo stretching his arms, those who had a flame pattern on their clothes began to sing.

Each religion has its own "singing", some are hymns, others chant scriptures. Hymns are naturally in the form of rhythm and melody. For example, ji1 Du1 religion, which is developing at a high speed, and Yi1 religion, which is in the prosperous period, belong to the type of hymns. The a San civilization and the Central Plains civilization belong to the type of chanting scriptures. It can't be said which is "high, big and high" completely depends on the aesthetics of the audience. Whose aesthetics will affect who depends on the strength.

For a simple example, the aesthetics of a nation with a high degree of civilization is the mainstream aesthetics. For example, the Zhuxia civilization has long belonged to the overlord of East Asia, the mainstream is what the Zhuxia civilization likes, and the rest are not in the mainstream. Even non Zhuxia civilizations will subconsciously feel that their East and West are not good. This is the case that the aesthetics of a strong civilization dominates the mainstream.

It stems from the self-confidence of Zhuxia Miao people in their own civilization. Only their own things are good. Even if some things of other nationalities are really ornamental, they will subconsciously feel bad. If they really like them, they will rob them to become their own.

In fact, the hymn of Yi 1 religion is quite good. The tone is cadent and there is a pause and turn at the same time. That is, it sounds no better than the chanting of scriptures by Taoist priests of this civilization.

The hymn lasted about five minutes and ended with Yi 1 teaching yelbo to retract his arms.

That yelbo is called megapanos. I don't know whether it's custom or what. He has only a first name but no last name. He has been frowning.

According to the custom of the Sassanian side of Persia, when the hymn sounded, Si Hongzhuang should quickly step over, kneel down in the worship posture of megapanos and wait for megapanos to bless. This kind of "passing" is a kind of high courtesy in the eyes of Persians. Kneeling down and worshipping are completely right. Not everyone has such treatment.

Si Hongzhuang will do those things only when he sees ghosts. In terms of the current civilization and customs of the Central Plains, there is a saying called "there is gold under a man's knee". It is right to kneel to heaven, to the ground and to his parents. He will kneel to the king only on special occasions, otherwise it is humiliating to kneel to anyone.

Megapanos acted according to the custom of Sassanian in Persia. He thought that Si Hongzhuang did not accept "good intentions", so he felt humiliated. Next, he didn't want to talk to Si Hongzhuang at all. Unexpectedly, he walked inward under the crowd of a large group of followers.

"Blessing from yelbo!" Eltaba Mathistius was tangled in his heart. He felt more depressed that the generals of the Han country did not accept good intentions. He probably knew that different civilizations brought different customs. He said: "few people can be personally blessed by yelbo."

Si Hongzhuang could only see what yelbo was upset about. He couldn't figure out why he was upset and didn't want to understand.

Eltaba Masistius was obviously unwilling and had the intention to popularize their religious culture. He carefully introduced Zoroastrianism as the national religion of Persian Sassanian, especially that Zoroastrianism could even affect the formulation of national strategies.

Si Hongzhuang led a group of Persians to the camp. He was nagging all the way. He listened. He also learned about the status and influence of religion 1 in Persian Sassanian. He paid attention to it, but when he heard that he was going to kneel in front of yelbo, he immediately got angry.

"Every country has different customs." Si Hongzhuang couldn't do anything about cutting Ya Zi with a knife. He said very seriously, "we Han people are very particular about the ceremony of kneeling down. Please understand."

As long as it's a person, who doesn't know that kneeling is very particular? That is, different civilizations will have human dignity. No one is willing to kneel down to anyone, but kneeling down to some people in some civilizations is not humiliation, but an honor.

With that episode, the welcoming ceremony prepared by the Han army was really not very good. The Persians spent their time in depression after they landed.

At present, most Han people are dispensable for religion 1. They do not exclude religion 1. At the same time, they will maintain a heart of awe for any God, but don't expect them to worship religion 1 to the extent that they are willing to give everything.

For most Han people, believing in God is just to pray for something. It is usually to worship incense (or other things) to beg God to help them achieve their wishes. It is more like a transaction than pure faith.

"Three thousand people, more than one thousand are related to their national 1 religion." Si Hongzhuang is making a necessary report to Huan Wen: "one thousand are armed personnel, and the rest are entourage and so on."

Huan Wen was quite clear about the state religion of other civilized countries. Zoroastrianism existed in Sasan, Persia, India and India. Rome had just popularized the Christian religion, and other civilizations also had their own state religion. That was a very common phenomenon.

"That what yelbo wants to make him kneel down!" Si Hongzhuang was completely contemptuous: "I don't know whether he was crazy or stupid."

Although Huan Wen was interested in the state religion of Sassanian in Persia, he paid more attention to the armed men in Persia. He got a message from home that the Persians had an elite army from ancient times, which was called the "undead army". Although the Persian dynasties have been changing, almost every dynasty has an "undead army".

"There are some with cloaks and masks on their faces." Si Hongzhuang made a deliberate observation and said, "those people should be some undead army?"

At the beginning, Liu Yan talked casually about the information about the "undead army". He waited for an embassy in Sasan, Persia to come to the mainland of the Han country. Unexpectedly, there was really an "undead army".

The "undead army" should be traced back to the sixth century BC. It is an elite army of the Achaemenid Dynasty, playing the dual roles of the Royal Guard and the standing army. After the Achaemenid Dynasty, in fact, there was no "undead army" in the real sense. Even if there were still "undead army", it existed as a tradition. The subsequent Persian dynasties are still engaged in the "undead army". Some Persian kings pay more attention to the selection of candidates with high martial arts skills into the "undead army", while some kings purely take the "undead army" as a guard of honor in a facade situation.

On the one hand, the state of Han has formed a local military alliance with Persian Sassanian. We should understand each other. Of course, it is impossible for a large number of Persians to go to the mainland of the state of Han. It is appropriate to place the communication platform in the captain Department of pingman school.

Not only with the Persian sassanne, but also with the other four allied countries involved in targeting the Gupta Dynasty in the next period of time, some people will also arrive at the pingman Colonel's headquarters. The number of people who come is a procedure to increase mutual understanding.

Pingman Colonel's headquarters is the military base of the Han country in the distance. The Han culture that countries can understand will be quite limited. At most, it is a preliminary understanding of the military culture of the Han country. If you really want to understand what the Han civilization is, it will take a long time not only to go to the mainland of the Han country, but also a long time. It is definitely not a matter of a while and a half.

It may be that the Han state did not take the state religion of Sasan in Persia seriously. In the following, the yelbomeigapanos of Zoroastrianism did not appear again. It was by eltaba Marcistius communicated with the Han side, but eltaba Marcistius never saw Huan Wen either.

Megapanos didn't show up in person. The problem is that Zoroastrianism is very active. They will do something full of religious color intentionally or unintentionally, and try their best to contact the Han people to spread faith.

"Just let them do that?" Yuan Qiao said, of course, that Zoroastrianism wanted to spread faith and gain believers.

In fact, of course, Persians can't wander around in the captain's Department of pingman, but they can't stand that those Mu Hu (also known as mugg) of Yiyi religion are too enthusiastic about the spread of faith. As long as they seize the opportunity, they enthusiastically attract believers.

Muhu is a member of the Sassanian religion of Persia... That is, the clergy of Zoroastrianism. Their number is extremely large. In fact, their composition is very complex. Muhu who can be brought to the Han people must be selected layer by layer. All of them are people who believe in one faith and one faith, so as to spread their faith and one faith to the Han people.

Huan Wen saw the recent events in his eyes. At the beginning, he actually held an indifferent attitude, but later he was vigilant.

In the final analysis, most Han people are not so keen on religion. Faith is regarded as a kind of transaction, which belongs to the type of believing everything and not believing anything. To make Han people loyal to faith, there is no coercion, that is, they have to get beneficial feedback after faith. Otherwise, faith is faith, Don't expect the Han people to do anything for a god they believe in.

Huan Wen kept thinking about it. Later, he said to Yuan Qiao, "they... What did they mention in the dry king? Cultural invasion???"
