Yushima Cathedral is crowded with people, but the atmosphere around Daiseiden as the center is solemn.
Next to Dacheng Hall, in the Siwen Guild Hall.
Several hanging scrolls are hung high in front of the hall, which are also the objects to be worshiped during this event.
The one in the center is "Gongsun Xuanyuan and the Yellow Emperor's throne", and then those on the left and right are "Qi Bo Tianshi's throne", "Mr. Taicang Gong Chunyu Yishenzhi".

Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, ruled the world, cultivated civilization, promoted farming, and opened up the medical way. As the source of the medical way, the "Huangdi Neijing" was born.
Qi Bo Tianshi, a generation of imperial doctors during the reign of the Yellow Emperor, was originally a barbarian. He was invited by the Yellow Emperor and respected as his teacher. The two of them jointly completed the Nei Jing, which also laid the foundation for a medical lineage known as "Qi Huang's Technique" in the world. .

Shenying Wang Bianque established the four methods of "observation, smell, questioning, and diagnosis". He was good at acupuncture and moxibustion. He brought the dead back to life and countless people were alive.
Taicang Gong Chun Yuyi followed Huang Bian's teachings and left the earliest detailed records of medical affairs.
This is the first part of the ceremony, describing life and praising merits.
Afterwards, Yale rose, and amid the solemn and solemn music that reflected the quiet recollection, rituals such as apotheosis, trance, and food offerings were carried out in an orderly manner. This is the second part of the ceremony and the formal part.
If the first and second parts are "longing for the past", then the third part that follows is "present".

Xu Guangling looked at everything in front of him blankly. When the ceremony reached this part, the atmosphere in the entire auditorium was solemn, without a single word, and everyone was solemn and sacred.
Maybe there are drunkards among them.
Maybe there are villains among them.
Perhaps, there are some dissolute people among them.
In normal times, they may be different, but here, at least at this moment, they all have the same heart, the same intention, the same pace, and even the same heartbeat. With the help of such a ceremony and a ritual, Pay homage to the sages of the past and present the grand events of the present dynasty.
After this part, the festival was declared complete, but this time the event did not end here. It can also be said that the real event only began at this time.
Throughout the Yushima Cathedral, speeches of various levels and levels were held simultaneously in various places, large and small.

…
Xu Guangling opened his eyes and looked at nearly the entire church, and his hearing was enough to allow him to hear speeches coming from all directions.
There is often one person speaking in front, while countless people across from or below listen carefully. Many people hold pens, paper, cell phones, or voice recorders to record the entire process while listening. This is truly tens of thousands of people.
ocean.
It's not a carnival, but the atmosphere is extremely harmonious and uplifting.
Sounds passed into his ears one after another, gradually making him feel trance-like. In the trance, he seemed to be being led by his teacher to participate in a domestic medical seminar.
But the next moment, when he looked around, he realized that there was no teacher, but only himself.
This is not China, but Japan.
It should be from China, it should be.
pity.
no.
Not really.
Isn't the Yellow Emperor Chinese? Isn't Qi Bo Chinese? Isn't Huangfu Mi Chinese? Isn't Bian Que Chinese? Isn't Chunyu Yi Chinese? But why, in a place like this, is it once a year...
So many people are paying homage and remembering, and under their gaze, such a grand event is unfolding?
in China.
Rural or urban.
Any street, any place.
Ask one person, does anyone know these five people? Ask ten people, does anyone know these five people? Ask a hundred people, ask a thousand people, ask ten thousand people, ask a million people, ask a hundred million people...
…
Does anyone know?
How many?
Today, even though Xu Guangling is still far away from the Grand Master, there is still an unknown distance, but he is actually a "quasi-Grand Master". His four hearts have been understood, and he can already
Don't use your nose to breathe.
Even at the bottom of Tianchi, which is hundreds of meters deep, he can stay safely for a night or several days.
But at this moment, he felt suffocated so easily.
He wants to leave this place.
Or shamelessly, escape.
His footsteps naturally moved outward, and Ito Shizuishi, Ito Matonori, Qian Shaoyou, etc. naturally followed his steps.
"Xu Jun, this is the Dacheng Hall next to it, which is also the "Xian Temple". It is the place where we worship Confucius. In addition to Confucius, there are also four disciples of the saint, Yan Zi, Zeng Zi, and Si Zi.
, and Mencius." Ito Shizuishi introduced Xu Guangling gently from the side, "In addition to the acupuncture festival, the temple also has the Confucius Festival and the Shennong Festival every year."
Xu Guangling nodded, "Do so many people participate every year?"
"There were really not many people at the beginning." Shizuishi Ito nodded. "Even the officiating staff, there were only a few dozen. But slowly, there were more and more people."
"Just like the research on acupuncture, it was just a small association at first. It was established here at the Institute of Medicine, which is now the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo. But now, related research associations, large and small, have blossomed everywhere, with as many as
Hundreds."
Xu Guangling nodded again.
Then Shizuishi Ito made no further introduction, and the group returned to the manor of the Ito family in almost silence.
Dinner party again.
After the dinner, Ito Shizuishi and Xu Guangling had a conversation. This was also the first formal conversation between the guests and the host. Ito Mairi and Ito Marri were serving tea.
"Xu Jun, what do you think of the distinction between Yi and Xia proposed by Confucius Sheng?" Ito Shizuki looked at Xu Guangling and asked slowly.
If the princes use barbarian rituals, the barbarians will follow them; if they advance into China, the Chinese will follow them.
This is Confucius' thought.
To put it simply, the difference between barbarians and Chinese is not about blood, but culture. When a person follows Chinese etiquette and bathes in Chinese culture, he is Chinese, no matter where he comes from. Correspondingly, no matter where he comes from
, when he practiced the barbarian religion, he was a barbarian.
Xu Guangling was silent, not knowing what to say.
"Xu Jun, if Confucius is resurrected and he visits today's China and Japan, I wonder which one should be regarded as barbarian and which as summer?" Shizuishi Ito asked again.
