After Li Kuan came back to the mansion after performing the crown ceremonies in the Taimiao, his buttocks were still hot, Wang Huai, Zhao Qian, and Qian Wu walked in front and back. Li Kuan looked at the three coming together in surprise, thinking that there was something important. Hurriedly asked: "Is there something big?"
The three nodded solemnly. Li Kuan hurriedly waited for the three to talk. Wang Huai said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness, you must act according to courtesy when you go to court or meet your majesty and the queen in the future. It's a big mistake."
Li Kuan was speechless, and the facts of etiquette were too profound. Zhao Qian had also taught him when he was a child. However, he didn't have that temperament to study patiently. Zhao Qian had no choice but to teach some of the most basic etiquettes without in-depth teaching.
Zhao Qian was Li Kuan’s teacher and enlightenment teacher. Zhao Qian was also ashamed of the rudeness in Taimiao today. He knew that he was rude today, so he should be cruel and let Li Kuan study hard. It won't be confined to the point of being banned.
At the time, Li Yuan entrusted him with the important task, letting Zhao Qian teach Li Kuan to read and calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy, and other aspects of knowledge. Zhao Qian taught Li Kuan to martial arts. Zhao Qian gave it to him, but he didn't teach all the etiquette. It was because Li Kuan had learned too much and couldn't bear to relax. Now it's too late to regret.
"His Royal Highness, the etiquette has to be re-learned!" Zhao Qian's serious words made Li Kuan limp to the ground in an instant, and said with a wry smile: "Lao Zhao, can we change our studies? I don't care about this etiquette. After all, we too. No need!"
"You must learn!" Wang Huai and Qian Wu said in unison, Li Kuan wanted to cry without tears, he really didn't take it to heart. But Wang Huai and the other three took it to heart. Not only did they take it to heart, they were also ready to take action to let him learn etiquette again.
Chinese etiquette is by no means as simple as modern etiquette, it is truly tedious and profound, and Li Kuan is not ignorant. When Zhao Qian taught etiquette, he introduced him in detail, and Li Kuan felt his scalp numb when he heard it. Not to mention that he was going to learn it, and he felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
Learning the crown ceremony this time made him feel uncomfortable. If he did it all again, it would not kill him! Li Kuan was reluctant to study etiquette any more, but he couldn't persuade the stubborn Wang Huai and the others that as long as they identified things, they would definitely try their best to implement them, no matter how difficult the difficulties were.
"I will start learning tomorrow. When will I learn to leave the house!" Wang Huai replied decisively, causing Li Kuan's brows to be frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by bitter smiles and embarrassment, and more full of it. Irritable.
Li Kuan was the king of Chu, but he could not really regard the three Wang Huai as servants. These three were his elders. Whether he wanted it or not, Li Kuan could only bite the bullet and agreed to re-learn etiquette. Moreover, in order to prevent Li Kuan from slacking off this time, Wang Huai and Qian Wu accompany him, in fact, supervising whether Li Kuan is studying seriously.
The next day, Li Kuan got up early and went to the side hall without delay. Wang Huai, Zhao Qian, and Qian Wu were also waiting outside the hall. Li Kuan felt like he was in prison. Wang Huai and the other three were in charge of guarding, giving him the illusion of a bird in a cage.
Zhao Qian talked about the Chinese etiquette seriously, Li Kuan listened very seriously, he couldn't be serious, he couldn't concentrate a little bit, Qian Wu knocked on the table to remind him, Wang Huai's gloomy face made Li Kuan smile. I had to bite the bullet and listen intently.
Chinese rituals have been passed down for more than a thousand years, and ancestors who did not understand language in primitive society knew etiquette. Since he couldn't speak, he replaced it with actions, which were passed down to form ten ritual actions and two conventional ritual actions.
The ten etiquette actions are: hand bowing, one salutation, two salutations, three salutations, bowing salute, holding hands salute, pushing hands salute, hand-to-hand salute, bowing salute, and bowing salute; two conventional etiquette actions: meet for the first time, Pay a salute to your parents, and bow your hands when your friends and colleagues meet.
For example, yesterday Li Shimin admitted that Li Kuan was the second prince in Taimiao, the two of them were not a courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but a courtesy of the father and son, and they should pay a salute. Although the eldest-grandson queen is not her biological mother, the queen is the mother of a country.
Zhao Qian made these movements one by one, and explained in detail that Li Kuan naturally knew these etiquettes, and Li Kuan had learned these basic etiquette movements as a child. To be honest, he hasn't used it much in Jingzhou over the years, and he almost forgot about it.
"Yesterday, His Majesty and His Majesty recognized that they should kneel and worship, and it is also a Jishou ceremony!" Zhao Qian continued, "According to records, there are nine types of kneelings, in order: one is Jishou, second is Sushou, and third is empty. The fourth is vibration, the fifth is good fortune, the sixth is fierce, the seventh is strange, the eight is praise, and the nine is supreme."

Li Kuan recalled that except for the three-crediting ceremony yesterday, he had never bowed to such a grand ceremony. In the memory of Li Yuan's death, the officials, including the emperor and the queen, were worshipped in the ritual worship, because this ritual action corresponds to the funeral ceremony.
Chinese etiquette is divided into five types: auspicious ceremony, wedding ceremony, guest ceremony, military ceremony, and fierce ceremony. If we divide the five terms, they can be divided into two categories, namely, politics and life. Auspicious rituals are sacrificial rituals, and fierce rituals are funeral rituals. Everything else is easy to understand.
Although there are only five etiquettes, in fact one of them alone is already unbearable. What's more, there are five complete etiquettes. Li Kuanguang felt his scalp numb when he listened. He didn't feel very well the next day.
Even if it is uncomfortable, you have to accept it, because in ancient times, people care about etiquette most. According to the ritual record in the Book of Rites: “The etiquette is to communicate. If you don’t come, it’s not etiquette; you don’t communicate, it’s not etiquette.” This shows that the importance of etiquette is by no means a simple act on the surface. Forcing Li Kuan to learn etiquette again, it is also for his own good.
Li Kuan understands this reason, even if he is unwilling, he has to accept it. Because he is the king of Chu, his identity is there, and when he comes into contact with others and bows to himself every day, he will laugh generously if he does not know how to repay the gift. He will even provoke criticism and be mistaken for arrogance. At that time, he is really indefatigable. .
The exchange of etiquette is not just giving gifts to each other, it is just a kind of etiquette, and it even gradually changed its flavor. Li Kuan also knows that if he loses his manners, he will also lose his heart of awe. Many arrogant people lose courtesy.
Li Kuan knew this truth well, so he bit the bullet and studied hard. In addition, when learning etiquette, Li Kuan's mind became more open, and his dealings with people became more in line with the current era, unlike before.
To put it nicely is to do whatever you want, but to put it badly are people who don’t understand etiquette and have no education! Immediately afterwards, Chu Wangfu also became different from the past because of Li Kuan's relearning of etiquette. Fuzhong was not as casual as before, and more of it was to follow the rules. This was also what Wang Huai insisted on, and the Fuzhong had to follow orders. (End of this chapter)
