Valley Emperor

Edward blushed when Norris said that, but he didn't refute it at all, instead showing a hint of shame.

Because he knew that Norris was right, Datang people care a lot about etiquette!

, My teacher also said before that there are not many people in the whole kingdom of England who have a better understanding of the etiquette culture of the Tang Dynasty. There are only dozens of them, and Norris is the best.

He may not trust Norris, but he trusts his teacher.

And whether he is his own teacher or Norris, they all have the same understanding of the decency and etiquette of the Tang people!

His teacher said: "The Tang Dynasty is also known as Huaxia, and the beauty of clothing is called Hua, and the greatness of etiquette is called Xia, which is Huaxia. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty has been the country of clothing and etiquette since ancient times!"

From this sentence, and even more so from his own teacher, Edward had long known about the dedication of the Tang people to etiquette.

Although his teacher was red-haired, blue-eyed and tall-nosed, he was also born in London, England.

However, his teacher was not from England, but a temporary resident of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, his teacher would often directly replace the words temporary resident with subject.

Turn the temporary residents of the Tang Dynasty into the citizens of the Tang Dynasty.

Self-proclaimed to be a real Tang people.

Although Edward almost had an understanding of the Tang Dynasty, including the Tang language, the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, etc., it all came from his teacher, and he was also more aware that his teacher dreamed of becoming a real Tang Dynasty person.

Not the temporary residents of the Tang Dynasty, but the people of the Tang Dynasty.

For teachers who dream of obtaining naturalization qualifications, the most common words on their lips are etiquette, decency, etc.

Over time, Edward also came to know the Datang people's dedication to etiquette and decency.

And this dedication is reflected in every aspect of life.

And this, to a certain extent, is actually the biggest difference between the Tang Dynasty and the indigenous people.

Why? Only when you have enough to eat and drink can you think about being decent.

Ordinary people in other indigenous countries are all hungry, thin and yellow, who cares about being decent or not!

From this perspective, in fact, the decency of Datang people is actually the rise of the last two decades.

To be precise, it emerged after industrialization!

After the greatly increased productivity has made people's lives more prosperous, and after the problem of food and clothing has been initially solved, Datang society is slowly beginning to pay attention to all aspects of decency.

Before that, in fact, just like those aborigines, all kinds of rules were limited to the elite.

But after industrialization, everything changed.

The huge productivity brought about by industrialization has given ordinary people the qualifications to pursue decency!

So ah, industrialization is the foundation of decency, everything else is incidental, not important!

However, those indigenous people obviously do not know this. In the eyes of the indigenous people, the decency of the Tang people seems to be innate and engraved in the bones.

If a Tang Dynasty person is overseas, he may not say anything or do anything, but it will still make people feel that he is different from the natives.

For example on the street. A real Tang Dynasty person will line up when there are many people, and will not spit, litter and so on.

These things seem to be very common, and they can be done under the control of some indigenous people, but the feeling of the two is completely different.

How should I put it, what kind of feeling do people in the Tang Dynasty have done with these details? In the words of Edward's teacher at the time: the feeling of a civilized person!

Yes, civilized people!

This is how the Tang people feel to the indigenous people.

In contrast, the indigenous people outside the Tang Dynasty were naturally not civilized people, but barbarian indigenous people.

In this regard, even though many nobles in the indigenous people will not admit anything publicly, but in private they are basically very inferior. In daily life, those who can basically copy the Great Tang are copied from the Great Tang, and those who cannot copy must be imitated.

Therefore, you will see all over the world, regardless of whether it is Europe, India or West Asia, the buildings in many places, especially the residences of the powerful, obviously move closer to the style of the Tang Dynasty.

On the outskirts of Madrid, Spain, there is a large-scale construction of a typical Jiangnan garden in Spain...

The conscience of heaven and earth, you must know that even in the Tang Dynasty, there are not many powerful people who will build such a traditional garden now. Most of them are modern manors that combine tradition and modernity. manor.

New Tang style architecture, pay attention to low-key, elegant and modern minimalist style elements.

A typical Neo-Tang style building must have a low-key appearance, but it is elegant in its low-key, so it is often two-story and three-story small buildings, and the interior decoration still follows a low-key and simple style.

However, this low-key and simple style is just an appearance. Datang people will achieve the ultimate luxury in this low-key and simple style.

How should I put it, at first glance you will think it is quite ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that it is unusual.

For example, don't think that the stone slab in front of the door is just a stone slab. In fact, it may be a lake stone dug out of the West Lake, and the price is extremely expensive.

As a digression, it is said that almost all the manors of the Tang Dynasty, and even the stone slabs in front of the ordinary middle-class buildings, are made of lake stones, but the West Lake is only so small, there are not many real lake stones, and even if there are, It's already been dug out.

In that case, where did these lake stones come from? Well, this is a question worth discussing. On the contrary, no one would admit that the slate they used was just an ordinary slate, otherwise, where would they face!

It is said that a certain auction house in Songjiang Prefecture~www.wuxiaspot.com~ issued an appraisal certificate for the Duokuai Lake Stones that were auctioned out a few months ago, swearing that these ordinary-looking stones are lake stones, which are already in the auction. How many years has it been immersed in the lake...

In addition to lake stones, many details of the building are often very particular.

For example, many of the railings and wooden floors in the house are precious woods, and some of them will engrave some seemingly simple, but very difficult craftsmanship patterns.

How should I put it, it doesn’t matter if it looks good or not, but it must be emphatic. It is best to be able to tell the guests inadvertently that it took the craftsmen several months or even years to carve the little lines of the handrail.

It took several years to carve out, even if it is just a few simple straight lines, but you have to think of all kinds of meanings in life, how can it be meaningless, making an international joke...

When you go in, you can often see large glass windows on the first floor, so that the sunlight can be better projected in. These large glass windows may not be seen by people in the future, but in this era, these large glass windows are all It is a large area of ​​special glass and is extremely expensive.
