Chapter 54 The Grand Ceremony (1)
Princess Zhaohua's re-education of Princess Bailian is the most popular topic in Danyang City. Tan Weixin's strength can be seen from this. The same princess is from a family that no one dares to disobey, but one is that she has no other ability except eating, drinking, playing and playing with big names. Of course, Princess Bailian's attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are indeed not inferior to Tan Weixin, but what about other aspects? It is almost completely different. Princess Zhaohua's Tan Weixin can allow tens of millions of taels of funds to flow in her hands, and she can easily generate various benefits, so that the inner treasury, which has always been a little tight, is now full of so much covetous things that the Ministry of Revenue is coveted. It has not even delayed her much time to do this. She still has a lot of spare time to engage in various activities she likes.
After being warned by Tan Weixin in this way, Princess Bailian Chang Ling was indeed much more restrained. The more than ten days before the wedding ceremony passed by in a dull manner. As for what she was thinking, it was unknown whether she was reflecting on herself or resenting others. Anyway, Tan Weixin has never been afraid of other people's resentment, and even know that even if Princess Bailian married into the Dongping royal family, it would definitely be counterproductive if she wanted to rely on the pillow and other things to be detrimental to her, it would definitely be counterproductive.
Although they do not agree with the marriage between the two countries, the senior executives of Dongping still spared no effort to do as much as possible in order to make this wedding ceremony a grand ceremony that many people will never forget.
The royal wedding is different in form from ordinary families and even those of the aristocratic families. Due to the small number of marriages between countries, there is actually no precedent. However, after all, it represents the beginning of a friendly relationship between two countries with great strength. After repeated consultations, a strange procedure with a higher standard than the marriage of the princess and lower than the queen.
Early in the morning, Tan Xiaopei ran to the Tan Family Ancestral Hall in the suburbs to celebrate. Then he returned to the palace around noon. After lunch, Princess Bailian's car set out from Jingu Garden, and at the Dongping Palace, the head of the tribe sent to the tribe, Chang Hongquan, in the Political Consultative Palace, held a designed dialogue between Chang Hongquan and Tan Xiaopei... The time was about an hour. This kind of nutrition-free dialogue was also a compulsory course for people like them.
For most ordinary people in Danyang, the one who felt the deepest was Princess Bailian's carriage from Jingu Garden to the royal palace. The road from Jingu Garden to Zhuque Street that runs across Danyang is ordinary, but the entire Zhuque Street is different. There are 10,000 imperial guards lined up on both sides at neat spacing, which is the expected style, but behind these soldiers with helmets and armor, there are two-meter-high flagpoles, with various flags hanging in various colors. It has nothing to do with the army to which these soldiers belong and the orders in the army. This time the flags are completely of the theme.
The flags on the entire Zhuque Street are divided into three themes: founding, development and prosperity in different colors. Each flag is painted with different patterns, all of which are designed in woodcut style, and then different patterns are presented by color printing and dyeing. Basically, every three to five flags, there will be a flag that depicts more famous figures in Dongping history, including generals, officials, poets, literati, etc., and the locations of these images appear just right, and their achievements and locations of origin are all scattered in the surrounding flags as different elements.
The red background and black pattern represent the courageous battles during the founding period, the green background and white pattern depict the peace and prosperity of the booming development period, and the blue background and silver pattern represent the wealth and magnificence of Dongping today, and at the same time implies the spirit of Dongping's active and enterprising spirit... The entire Zhuque Street has become a long scroll to show the development of Dongping throughout the ages. In fact, from the early morning, the various characters who have begun to discover this have been excitedly chasing the hanging flags and banners. Those who are quite proficient in painting and even made large stacks of paper to record the rough patterns.
In this era, at least until now, woodcarving was just a temporary measure for folk paintings and drawing some commonly used patterns. It is not so much an art form, but rather a handicraft. It is similar to the paintings of later Jinshan peasants. However, everyone suddenly discovered that the prints could be made like this, and the hard texture of the original sword-cutting and axe-chipping can be used to present such content.
Such creativity is naturally not something that people of this era can imagine. In fact, this arrangement was created by Ye's workshop and several workshops belonging to the Dongping royal family. The most difficult thing is not the above content. Although the number of 5,000 flags and banners is indeed a bit amazing, the number of old workers who can directly draw qualified base plates with skillful brushwork is also considerable after all. Such craftsmen with solid skills and a little understanding of art is a kind of person that Dongping has never lacked. The more difficult ones are color printing and dyeing technology. For paint paint workers, they have already made a lot of money.
Ye Tao, who has a deep understanding and even started to develop the first generation of latex paint for interior walls, would not worry about the paint, but he was not so good at printing and dyeing. He thought hard and struggled for a long time before he came up with the first generation of color-set printing and dyeing process. The process was not complicated, but the economical economy of the materials used was relatively poor. However, this process still attracted the attention of many people. Especially the silver and blue color, the silver granular texture, but light and will not affect the heat dyeing process of the flags fluttering in the wind, and may be used in the future when customs uniforms are customized for some imperial guards for concierge occasions.
Chang Ling pushed the car window away a very small thread, looked out the car, the neat and majestic queues on both sides of the street, and the flags behind each soldier. These orderly planned, exquisitely creative and powerful print-style printing styles were silently told that Dongping Kingdom was undoubtedly a so-called cultural governance that was smug and admirable to other countries, but had another cultural ecology.
