Chapter 1032: Waist shaking

When Ruo Yin arrived at Kunning Palace, everyone in the harem had already stood outside waiting.
As soon as she arrived on the front foot, and on the back foot, the queen mother arrived with a minion.
Immediately afterwards, the Fourth Master arrived at Kunning Palace with his minions.
In different places, there are different activities to worship water officials.
In the Forbidden City, there are naturally more rules than outside.
Of course, the most important thing is to sacrifice to Emperor Shuiguan and sacrifice to the furnace god.
Then there is worship ancestors.
At this moment, in the main hall of Kunning Palace, incense tables and candles have already been placed.
Fruits, cakes and wine are also enshrined in front of the furnace god.
There are also banners with the words "Heaven, Earth and Water House", "Wind and Rain", "Guotai and Min'an", and "Disaster Relief and Blessing".
Ruoyin, Fourth Master, and Queen Mother, under the guidance of the ministers of rites, sat outside Kunning Palace.
At the same time, the harem concubines who had been standing waiting also took their seats.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men in full suits approached and bowed three times and began to dance.
One by one, they wore masks with fangs and black sheepskin coats, symbolizing alien animals.
Moreover, it is also divided into Wenwu and Wuwu.
Wenwu is pure classical art dance.
And Wu Wu is accompanied by arrows and dancing knives, which are bold and resolute, symbolizing the great achievements of Manchu martial arts.
Ruoyin watched carelessly while drinking tea.
Suddenly, the voices of several concubines talking in the ears came.
"Huh...Why did the nobleman Zhuang disappear?" Wu Chang was the first to find out.
As soon as these words came out, the harem took a few glances, and they really didn't see nobleman Zhuang.
Concubine Qi didn't really matter: "What is missing, she hasn't come at all today."
Probably it is because of Zhuang Guiren's low sense of presence on weekdays.
Everyone just remembered this time, and it seemed that they had never seen Zhuang Guiren.
"She won't be there on such an important day, maybe she's unwell." Concubine Xi said.
"What do you know? Now that people are climbing the Queen Mother, even if they walk sideways in the harem, what about it. What's more, people don’t pay attention to a small next festival. It’s like us, it’s not dawn. Just stand here and wait. Now I am free to have a chair to sit on." Qi Fei said sourly.
At first, when she entered the palace, she deliberately showed her kindness to the Queen Mother.
But the queen mother ignored her and punished her for copying the female commandments twice.
But this nobleman, everything is ordinary.
It's just a low rank, and there are no children and girls under his knees, but he can get the protection of the queen mother.
It's not because they are surnamed Wu Yashi!
Oh, this is nepotism, but it's different.
Listening to the comments made by the harem, Ruo Yin couldn't help but glance at the crowd.
I really haven't seen Zhuang Guiren.
Then, she involuntarily glanced at the queen mother who was up.
I saw her old man with a kind smile on his face, enjoying the dance.
She couldn't see at all, the look of her old man when she was posing in front of the Fourth Master and the Harem.
This made her have to sigh, everyone in the Forbidden City is a good acting player.
However, Ruoyin still saw a trace of eager anticipation in those sophisticated eyes.
She retracted her eyes, and her eyes rolled slightly.
To say that Zhuang Gui is really too sick to go out.
The Queen Mother has recently approached Zhuang Guiren again, so she wouldn't even laugh so happily.
Seeing the eagerness of the Queen Mother, it seemed that it was too late to finish watching this dance, and she was waiting for the next event.
This reminded her of what Mother Liu said, the queen mother also ordered someone to arrange a sacrificial dance.
Could it be...what is the relationship between Zhuang Guiren and this dance?
Just as Ruoyin was thinking about it, the dancing men stayed there, doing the finishing touches.
Then, I listened to the Queen Mother and Si Ye said: "The emperor, this year the Aijia also ordered someone to arrange a sacrificial dance."
Si Ye turned his head and slightly chin his head towards the Queen Mother, but did not say much.
Then, the queen mother gestured to the minion next to her.
Not long after, I saw those strong men retreating.
Following the appearance, a shaman mother-in-law.
She is wearing an embroidered robe, her head is tan, she wears thick-soled shoes on her feet, and a string of copper bells is tied around her waist.
And behind her, followed by a group of graceful women.
They are wearing Manchu costumes.
An ink-colored belt is tightly tied around her waist, making her waist particularly thin.
It was also tied with tassels, like a band, wrapped around many small copper bells.
This is the single-drum waist bell that Manchu people often have when they dance sacrificial dances.
One by one, they combed their hair into thin braids.
Pendants with colorful agate, emerald, and precious stones hang on both sides.
The pendant was casually placed on the shoulders, shaking with their steps.
And those waist bells made pleasant sounds.
Immediately after the shaman's mother-in-law came to the throne of the gods, the leading woman took the lead in dancing.
However, everyone looked intently at this, isn't the woman headed by Zhuang Guiren?
Before everyone could think about it, some in the crowd grabbed the drum and made the sound of drumming.
Some sing and dance.
Singing is the sacrificial content.
One is to mourn the merits of our ancestors.
The second is to bless peace in the world.
The third is to wish good weather.
The fourth is to pray for the elimination of the disease.
The nobleman Zhuang, who is only in the lead, danced intently.
They first jumped in the house, then outside the courtyard.
Waist bell, "Xisha" in Manchu, also known as shaman bell.
It is an interplaying body sounding instrument of the Manchu, Mongolian, Daur, Oroqen, Ewenki, and Han ethnic groups.
Those waist bells were tied to the waists of the women, and as their waists swayed from side to side, the waist bells slammed into each other, making rhythmic and pleasing sounds, in harmony with the changing sounds of divine drums.
It's just that, no matter how good those people dance, it seems that they are just a foil for the nobleman Zhuang.
Because the blue gauze on the nobleman Zhuang is different from those of those people.
In addition, her dancing is more brilliant than others.
Such people are charismatic.
People's eyes cannot be removed from her.
Originally, the characteristic of the waist bell dance is that the waist needs to be twisted back and forth to make the waist bell that is tied to the body ring.
I saw Zhuang Guiren's waist swinging, swinging, pausing, shaking, shaking, and using techniques to make the waist bell make a crisp and loud impact.
The blue veil on her shoulders danced with her, giving people a feeling of ecstasy.
A blue silk woven with small braids, draped over his shoulders, is slightly feminine.
Accompanied by dynamic drums and crisp bells, intertwined into a wonderful movement.
And she danced briskly.
Swinging relaxed arms, twisting the soft waist.
A brilliant smile exudes youthful vigor.
But it gives people a feeling of beauty and not vulgarity.
The gem on the temple.
Bells around the waist.
Fine dance steps.
Nice ringtones.
Gives people a feeling of enthusiasm, boldness, stability and delicateness.
It shows the beauty and charm of satisfying ritual dance.
During the period, Si Ye's eyes were light.
But compared to usual, there is still a touch of appreciation.
After all, this is to satisfy the traditional sacrificial dance.
When the dance was finished, the queen mother nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Fourth Master: "Emperor, what do you think?"
At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can hear that this question has a double meaning.
