The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 48 Clothing Logo
Li Shimin and his wife left contentedly, Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and went back to their intense work.

The day after tomorrow is the day when Zixiao Palace will open its doors to receive pilgrims. There are so many things to prepare, and even Chen Jingke has no way to be the shopkeeper.

"What about you, stand up straight and walk without swaying..."

"Are the joss sticks ready? Every palace must have enough joss sticks..."

"Where is the guide? Where is the guide at this point... Don't run around, remember your duty is to guide the pilgrims, you don't need to take them there, just point the way and let them go there by themselves."

"You don't have to be afraid when you meet dignitaries. Even saints and empresses often come here, why are you afraid of them? Anyone who comes will be treated as an ordinary pilgrim. If something happens, the Taoist temple will take care of you."

"Let me put it here for everyone to testify together. As long as you act according to the rules and do not make mistakes, no matter who comes to trouble you, Guanli will bear it for you. If I can't do it, everyone will spit on me."

"..."

After a while, Chen Jingke was tired, sweating profusely, and his mouth was dry. As soon as he found a cool place to rest for a while, Zhang Ruiguang, the head of the warehouse, came over and said:

"Really, the custom-made Taoist robe has been delivered, would you like to go and have a look?"

Chen Jingke immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Since he wants to reform Taoism and create a school, he must distinguish himself from other sects in clothing.

The Taoist robes he designed not only refer to the Taoist costumes of later generations, but also refer to the costumes of cultivating immortals in games, animations and film and television dramas.

There are two seasons and three clothes in total. The two seasons are summer and winter, and the third clothes are formal clothes, regular clothes and labor clothes.

The dress is blue, which is worn when receiving pilgrims; the regular uniform is blue, which is worn for daily life and study; the labor uniform is gray, as the name suggests, it is worn when working and practicing martial arts.

The so-called formal dress is actually a coat with a toga and long sleeves worn over the regular clothes.It is very convenient to take off and put on, saving you the trouble of changing clothes.

These three kinds of clothing are divided into summer and winter seasons, thin and cool in summer, thick and warm in winter.

Clothes are unisex, the difference lies in the head crown, dry (male) Tao is the crown, Kun (female) Tao is the hairpin.

In order to reflect the identity difference, a logo is made on the sleeve.

Ordinary Taoist priests don't have anything on their sleeves, the small stewards have one red circle on their sleeves, and the hall masters have two red circles on their sleeves.

Big stewards like Kutou are three circles, and Tianlu, who is in charge of them, is four circles.

The cuffs of Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke are made of red patterned cloth, which is clear at a glance and is not afraid of making mistakes.

The overall style of Taoist robes is mainly concise, with a tight waist, narrow sleeves, and close-fitting, which is different from other Taoist robes with wide sleeves and wide sleeves.

The biggest feature is the Tai Chi gossip pattern on the chest and back.

Bagua patterns appeared very early, and Taiji patterns first appeared in the Song Dynasty, which is said to have been created by the ancestor Chen Tuan.Chen Jingke directly took it as an advocate and regarded it as a symbol of Zixiao Temple.

In addition to printing patterns on clothes, there are necklace pendants, pendants hanging around the waist and so on.

Anyone who comes to burn incense can get a wooden Tai Chi Bagua pendant for free.

Those who have incense money will be given pendants of different materials according to the amount.There are those made of copper, those made of gold and silver, and those made of jade.

What Chen Jingke has to do is to popularize the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams in an all-round way, and every household should have it.You don't have to be religious, but you must have related accessories at home.

When I came to the warehouse, I saw clothes piled up together.

Zhang Ruiguang said: "There are six sets of three suits for the two seasons, two sets of twelve sets for each person, and an additional two hundred sets of work clothes, a total of [-] sets are here."

Chen Jingke nodded, pointed to the three Taoist boys and said, "You three find out your summer clothes, and each of you wears one for me to see."

"Here." The three Taoist boys quickly found clothes that suited their size, and ran to a corner to change.

Seeing the actual effect, Chen Jingke was very satisfied, and said, "Turn around a few times and move around."

The three Taoist boys did some actions according to his instructions. Except that the outer hexagrams of the dress were affected, the other two sets were very convenient.

"Yes, very good. Inform the people in each hall to take turns to collect the clothes. From tomorrow onwards, all will be dressed according to the regulations."

"Here." Zhang Ruiguang replied, and then ordered his Taoist boy to inform everyone to come and collect clothes in batches.At the same time, they also sent someone to deliver the clothes of Sun Simiao, Chen Jingke, two maids, and Yang Tianlu.

Uniform clothing has a great effect on improving the cohesion of a group, so I won't go into details.Anyway, everyone who received the new clothes, especially the Xiaodao boys were very happy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that more than half of them have never worn new clothes in their lives. They either picked them up or changed them from the old clothes of their elders.

After receiving new clothes, twelve sets at a time, these children immediately have a sense of belonging to the Taoist temple.When everyone puts on the same clothes, a sense of mutual identity is quickly established.

With a sense of belonging and identity to the organization, you will be more proactive when you study later.

Things that I couldn't master after being taught many times before, can now be learned simply by saying it once.Even if you haven't learned it yet, you will take the initiative to find others to inquire about it.

Once the learning efficiency is improved, the order of the entire Taoist temple will soon be changed.

In the afternoon, the person who will be the prisoner sent ten craftsmen over, and at the same time, their family members, a total of 63 people, came over.

These people, old and young, gathered into a group and looked at Chen Jingke and the others anxiously, waiting for their unknown fate.

Chen Jingke was also looking at them. Before that, he had some doubts about Yang Tianlu's words.But the scene in front of him told him that the real situation was worse than he imagined.

Clothes patch after patch can no longer see the original appearance, everyone is thin and has sunken cheeks.In this era where fat is considered beautiful, none of these 73 people has a slightly rounder figure.

A baby seemed to be unable to stand the oppressive atmosphere and started crying, but was quickly stopped by the mother somehow.

Chen Jingke's nose was sour, and his eyes were moist.

But he didn't say anything like you are free. First, no one will believe it. Second, freedom is not a reward for them, but the biggest punishment.

As I said before, a person without status is a beast.Without changing certain rules of this era, talking about freedom is harming others and ourselves.

"Work hard when you get here, I can't guarantee anything else, it's not a problem to feed your whole family."

Hearing such honest words, the craftsmen calmed down quite a bit. A craftsman who looked to be in his 40s said, "This man... the real man, what do we need to do?"

Chen Jingke asked back: "What's your name? What skills do you know?"

The craftsman said cautiously: "My name is Tian Dachun, I know carpentry, and I am mainly responsible for carving."

Chen Jingke said: "That's just right. What I want you to do is similar to carving flowers. Can you do it by engraving on a wooden board?"

Tian Dachun said in embarrassment: "But... we are all illiterate."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "Can't it be enough to engrave the characters as flowers?"

Tian Dachun suddenly realized: "Oh, look how confused I am, thanks to the little real person for reminding me."

Chen Jingke also noticed that this Tian Dachun was better at dealing with people and had some prestige among these people, so he said:

"For the time being, you will be in charge of these people. The people who cooperate with the Taoist temple will put everyone down first. I will tell you what to do tomorrow."
