Ancient Japanese etiquette

Diet: aristocrats in peacetime only eat two meals a day (breakfast and dinner), one in the morning 10 and one in the afternoon. Living a completely different life from ordinary people who eat three meals a day. Nariakira's right minister, Fujiwara Yasuke, wrote about 950 articles in "Temple Nine Religions", in which he wrote: "Don't eat and drink at dusk as usual, don't wait until the hour (time), so don't eat." It can be seen that the nobles in Heian period paid great attention to meal time. With the standardization of food and dining procedures, the demands of Ping 'an nobles for food gradually changed from "delicacy" to "ceremony". When the food system is completed, the "fun" of food culture disappears.

Clothing: During the Heian period, due to the deep relationship between Japan and the Tang Dynasty in China, the most popular clothing in Japan at that time was modeled after the clothing of the Tang Dynasty in China. At that time, men usually wore straight clothes in court, except Liao, the teacher of Yin and Yang specially summoned by the emperor, who wore red, they were all black. At that time, Shoto Kutaishi introduced the political system from China, and established the color service system in Japan, and divided the official ranks according to different colors. But at that time, everyone in the temple was dressed in black. At ordinary times, the nobles wear wedding clothes at home or go out to visit friends or have an outing, and sit in ox carts. At that time, women all wore colorful clothes with changeable colors. Twelve orders were the most popular at that time.

Music: At that time, elegant music was popular in Japanese courts. The emperor often called ministers to play elegant music and urged Ma Le to be a popular music form among the nobles at that time.

Wedding Etiquette: In Heian period, Japanese aristocrats behaved elegantly, and nocturnal behavior was popular among men. After spending the night at the woman's house on the first day, a man will write a letter to express his condolences the next day and go to the woman's house again that night, otherwise it will be regarded as rude and spurned. After a man and a woman announce their marriage, the man will quietly come to the woman's house a few nights before the formal marriage.

Daily custom: aristocrats in Heian period are superstitious. At that time, nobles would regularly ask Yin and Yang teachers for divination. If the result is not good, they will avoid things. During the taboo period, the host does not go out and does not receive outsiders. Domestic servants can't go out to buy food, they can only eat food stored at home. At that time, when the nobles went out, they would ask people to calculate whether they could travel that day. When they travel, they will avoid the direction of daytime and follow the square latitude method in Yin-Yang Road.
