How did the ancients become sworn?

Becoming sworn (hereinafter referred to as "becoming sworn"), also known as "becoming sworn to Jin Lan", is a brotherly relationship between people of the same age. It originated from the story of "Three Marriages in Taoyuan" in the Three Kingdoms Period, in which Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became brothers. Later, people worshipped it and then imitated it, that is, people with similar interests and personalities hit it off with each other, formed brotherly relations through certain forms, cared for each other, supported and helped each other in life, and took care of each other when encountering problems. Over time, it has evolved into a kind of etiquette custom with humanistic color. This is the sublimation of friendship and the freezing of social relations, which runs through the Confucian thought of "righteousness" and fills the relationship between family and friendship. It is a special social interpersonal relationship. There is a standardized etiquette procedure for taking justice, that is, on a voluntary basis, through consultation and agreement, we choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, hang Guan Gong and other gods in a place that everyone thinks is more suitable, such as the ancestral temple, and hum three sacrifices, namely pork, fish and eggs (one for each person according to the number of people) and a live chicken (the male is a rooster and the female is a female). Give out a copy of Jin Lan Spectrum, write down everyone's name in chronological order, and press their fingerprints. After the ceremony, everyone will bring a wick and "Jin Lan Music". Then, kill the chicken, drop the chicken blood into the red wine, pierce the middle finger of everyone's left hand (the woman's right hand) with the needle tip, drop the blood into the red wine, stir it evenly, sprinkle three drops on the ground first, and finally take a sip in order of age, and put the rest in front of the statue of Guan Gong. Some of these forms are also called "blood alliance". There is no limit to the number of people wishing, regardless of gender or age, but it must be an odd number. In the same year, people of the same sex became sworn. Men called them brothers and women called them sisters. Usually in adolescence, most of them are like-minded, or in the same boat, or have their own needs. In the old society, there were many rituals and customs to become sworn: people who were relatives did not become sworn; It is the in-laws who are not sworn; Those who have a generation gap do not become sworn; Those who do not agree with the eight characters do not become sworn; People who violate clan rules do not become sworn (in the past, if they became enemies with other clans, they vowed to make rules not to marry a certain clan or get married); Those who fail to pass the oath ceremony are not formally sworn, and so on. With the progress of society and the improvement of civilization, people think that as long as they get along well with each other, they don't have to stick to a certain form. Of course, there are still some young people who are sworn, and they are relatively indifferent to the old etiquette. The ceremony is generally simple, mostly oral oath. Adults swear in front of Guan Gong statue, "ancestral temple" or other gods according to etiquette and customs. Young people want to be allies, they usually need the consent of all their parents before taking the oath, because their elders are more experienced and cautious. After the swearing-in ceremony, the people who took part in the swearing-in ceremony were called brothers. Some people added the words "Qi", "Lan" and "Friendship" before their names. Some people were commonly known as the eldest brother, the second child and the third child ... meaning to live and die together, to share weal and woe, and to share weal and woe. In case of weddings, funerals, festivals, etc. They all associate like brothers. With the changes of time, social environment and people's thoughts, this form of mutual care, support and help is very different in form, content and function, forming a close and complicated social relationship between people. People who do good deeds can become a group that is United and progressive and beneficial to social progress. For example, when the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China entered Shuikou Sakura in 1944, the Party and guerrillas * * * became allies with the revolutionary masses in Sakura. In the special era, it is of obvious significance to close the relationship between the party, guerrillas and the masses and achieve the goal of unity, unity, joint resistance to Japan and opposition to Kuomintang reactionaries. Oath is a good wish for people to realize their life ideals, but the final result is not expected by everyone, because people's feelings will change due to changes in environmental conditions, or they will become indifferent or even turn against each other. Once this situation is reached, the sworn oath will be broken, and allies often break up in discord. Generally speaking, to end the League of Righteousness at that time, it must end in the form of righteousness. Nowadays, the relationship between people is win-win and common development, and getting along with friends is the best state. Generally speaking, this form of oath is not advocated. Attachment: The male style of Jin Lan Spectrum: the cover room is full of piano books, and the intersection of music and intimacy; The bed is connected with the wind and rain, and the arm is often used to talk happily. Therefore, it is appropriate to spit on the ground, and other mountains attack jade, and the sound is connected. Every time you look at a well-ordered goose, you will be entangled in the horse's tail. So and so on. Fill the inkstone in the north, cut the window in the west, or write vertically and horizontally, or peek at the hall. When young people shake hands, they have high friendship and mutual respect with Lei Zhen; White water is calm, so it is advisable to control Baozhi Fangchen. Stop the clouds and set the moon, cross the rivers and mountains, but go through the years and your own determination with Meng Si, Laoyu and Spring Breeze unhappily.

According to the old custom, men have the right to become brothers when they reach the age of twelve.

Both sides will report their ages to each other, drink raw chicken blood, report to their ancestors and swear to heaven. After the ceremony, they became good brothers. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are brothers (sisters), who rely on their parents at home and friends when they go out. Therefore, in the world of martial arts, it is essential to become sworn. It's just that many games in the past simply marked the title "OO is XX's brother" on their heads. Is it too monotonous? What we want is a unique and powerful title. There are 108 heroes in the Water Margin, four friends of plum blossom in Mr. Jin Yong, and seven leisure in the bamboo forest. They are all brothers and sisters, and they all have a customized title. Custom title system of association conclusion: First of all, the conclusion in the game should be unlimited. In addition, you can become sworn friends with Zhang San or Li Si. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that if you have the same ideals and beliefs and want to have a common title, then you can use this system. Second, there is only one sworn title. In other words, if you decide to use the title of "Four Masters of the Black Hand Hall", you can't add another oath title when taking the oath. Swearing titles can be displayed on names like ordinary titles. Third, there is an upper limit for the number of worshippers, which basically means 108 heroes, and 36 plough and 72 devils should be the highest limit. The personnel with professional titles can be changed, that is to say, some people can leave, and as long as there are still people, some people can make up. Fourth, if you want to become sworn, there is only a difference in size. When you take an oath, you can set a rule, and this rule cannot be changed after you take an oath. For example, by rank, by name or at random, everyone except the organizer or everyone who is elected as the boss will sort by rules and mark the title. After someone leaves, the boss can decide where to fill the position.
