Every October or November each year, the British Congress has an opening ceremony. The official official name of the British Congress is very strange, called "Queen In Parliament", the protagonist is Queen, is the Queen. In this ceremony, the only center is the Queen Elizabeth II. This is equivalent to their National Day ceremony, and it is impossible to have a ritual of the best. Sport is the king, or the national sovereignty, that is the same word in English. The entire scene is magnificent, solemnly grand, and it can even be said to be rich in the air. For those of the London people and tourists who are squeezed by the Queen's carriage, this lively scene is really looking at. Therefore, I repeated the old jacket annually, and I don't lose my year. There is a live broadcast on the US TV. We usually open a TV, what should I do or something, just occasionally sweep it. The reason why the TV is open, that is waiting, waiting for a lengthy process, developing to the most exciting moment.
What is this moment?
First, meaningful ritual
Before the opening ceremony of the Congress officially begins, the members of the upper and lower courts have already placed them in their own councils, and I have waited early.
In the House, I saw a red robe, and the robes were set with a large golden side and various heraldic characters. Although we don't know how they do it, we must have a big one. The winners not only apparel brilliant, but also wear a wig with a small roll of rolls on the white, making them feel unrealistic, quite ridiculous. It is this untrustful feeling, highlighting their solemnity to express, indicating that they are transcendence the secular power carrier. Even if you have a long wait, these people are not laughing, solemn, waiting for the Queen to come.
In the House, it is another scene. The British Chamber of Directors often appear in TV, even we are cooked in the United States. At this moment, the members are all, I originally a championship, the charter of the Chamber of Decision, and the trapezolic class in the university is crowded. The costumes of the elected people are wearing modern costumes, men's suits, and women's suit skirts. Although in real life, it is still a scribe clothing in regular occasions. However, a ratio of the upper school, it is unpredictable to highlight the modern, civilianization and secularization of the members. In waiting, the members of the members chatted with each other, the speakers did nothing, even if the British Prime Minister was relaxed at this moment. The British Prime Minister and the US president are different. The US president usually only needs to go to a congressional, almost a symbolic ceremony. The British Prime Minister must regularly attend the challenge, and the tongue is a group of congress. When I entered the House, I must be a spiritual nervous and go all out. Otherwise, I can't pay attention. Only in today, there is no matter what he is, the prime minister is only a regular audience at this moment.
In addition to the famous Xitense Temple Capitol, the road is full of black pressing.
The Queen wants to leave. Before departure, her Royal Guard, is said to be the oldest and most faithful warrior in the royal family, a selection of the councils of the two hospitals. This search is derived from the conspiracy of an attempt to explode in 1605. Today, this search is purely part of the ceremony, but repeated four hundred years. The Queen is always accompanied by Datong, Edinburgh, sitting on a gold-plated royal carriage, from a horses, horseshoe, not late, and head to Capitol. On the way, watching the exciteful people made a burst, and some people have a lady's cockroach, such as the time falling.
At the Xitense Temple Capitol, the Queen's head is wearing the famous crown, dragging the long royal robe that is long. The royal robe is designed for this ceremony, and the rear is so long, you must have four gentlemen dressed in the boy, and put the clothes to the Queen, follow her. The Queen has a shoulder, representing the Queen's scepter, the front, long queues, all the famous characters dressed in the medieval. When the dress is upset, stand in a height, raise a long speaker, blow a string of the number of reports of the queen, it is a happy moment, the original Shakespeare's stage, live in the 21st century It can be found in the real world. The Queen is as good as the people who are familiar with, it seems to be a little bit of tired. She is hard to pass this longline, reach the upper court, falling in the royal in the middle. The opening ceremony will be held at the House.
At this time, the 250 members were still waiting in their down hospital. The queen never came to the Office of the House. She has no power to go. Since 1642, Charlie I entered the House of Siamese to arrest five Members, causing the most serious conflicts in the British History and the royal family. The parliament cut the king's head, and the king will ban the king to enter the House. Three hundred or fifty years later, the King of the British did not step into the House of Signers. However, at this moment, the queen has to summon the headers because she is about to announce her national policy, and the name of Members is still to take precautions for the queen.
On the TV, we saw that a half of a half-like warrior, half a gentleman is standing, waiting for the queen command. He is a "black pole", the official title is "Black Clee Etiquette", which is the most important etiquette official of the House, and he has also had a history of five hundred years. His title comes from the half-meter long black wooden stick in his shoulder, the top is set with golden lion head. He got the queen, and he turned into the house, so he walked down to the House of Deployed Office.
At this time, everyone's eyes are concentrated on this black pen. The lens of the TV has swept through the people around him. We are finally here at that moment we want to see!
The black sticks were very chest, and they walked to the door of the House of Directors. At this time, the door in the door is also facing the gate, and a face is laughing. This kind of evil expression is like a little evil. That is the old British drama, or the copper version of the British novel, the faces of those who are portrayed, often appearing. That is a civilian unique expression, as if waiting for a wonderful segment. The black pole has a heavy step, and it is going to the door. At this time, I saw that the two gates of the Chamber of Deputies were slowly moved outward, not too late, just in the black pole, "哐" closed, almost touched the nose of the black stick!
The black stick is given away. This scene, the meaning is far-reaching.
I saw the black sticks of the closed door, raised the stick in the hand, who was authorized by the Queen, with a stick on the golden decorative lion head, and smashed on a special wooden block on the gate, spurious sound. Take it, two times, three times! On the door, I immediately opened a few small doors, and the fine iron fence was also installed on the small door. After the iron fence, a pair of vigilant eyes. According to the old rules, this eye glances behind the black stick, determines that the black stick does not bring armed soldiers, and determines that he is just a peace letter from the Shangyuan, the gate of the Office of Deputies, which is reaches. The black stick is stepped by a step, standing in front of a white line on the floor. This is another "rule of the ancestors", anyone in the royal family and the upper court, is not allowed to cross this white line. The black stick lifted his head, and the middle gas was so politely solemnly announced that the Queen is waiting for her Members to meet. Bi behind the black, turned back. At this time, the "", the winners behind him issued a laughter. Everyone gets up, with the speakers and the prime minister, all the way smile, bustle to the upper school, alive in the scene of the cinema.
At the place where the upper school, the meeting, there is no seat of these 250 members. In the venue, relying on the door, there is a low railing, which is the site of the House. According to the rules, the following members are never allowed to cross the railings. Now, the Queen reads a statement in the throne of the middle, and the wigs of the House of House sits on the face, and 250 down members stand outside the railings. Modern UK's most real power, truly manages the prime minister of this country and his cabinet members, and standing in this population. This scene, Even Voltaire did not see it in 250 years ago: the President of the British Parliament, the first, and the status is the second.
The Queen clearly reads the account, and a "my government" will be. The drafting of the drafting, truly mastering this country's realmement, is the prime minister and cabinet standing.
The secular government's real rights and ritual status are divided here. Abstract sovereignty, traditional royal family, despite the power of the wind, the high is not heavy; the representative of the electoral, there is no world, and the royal family will maintain respect but master the true power. The House of Signers said that the "etiquette" that is welcome to treat the black stick, the power of the elected government is not interfered by the royal family. The White Line on the Decision of the Office of Deputies, and the low railing of the House of Houses is a symbol of the rules of the game in British politics. They say that power must be divided, no matter what person, must comply with the contract of division, even if this contract is from the tradition of five hundred years ago.
In this way, the British repeats this ceremony once a year, and many years have been repeated. Sociologists tell us that human beings have "politics" this, the ceremony is very important, and the ceremony is transmitting information. We have seen a variety of state-style national rituals, and there is no shortage of powerful, unified, and so on. I have heard that the British said the most gentleman, they are of course very faced. However, the British queen and the Congress, but the expression of the non-repeated repeated repeated reappear, "said the ugly words in front", and convey each other, the warnings and commitments to the rules of the game, do so serious, and sigh. This is the "traditional discipline education" of the British. In the history of human politics, this is the best to show the Wisdom of Anglo-Saxon's political wisdom.
Second, the powerless power is a problem
It is well known that the British Parliament and the royal family today are historical formation. From the early aristocratic lord to the king, request clear power and obligations, and commit to each other, the rules of the charter, re-use strength, and the rhizome of honor, and conflict in the 17th century royal and parliamentary, bloody together I chopped the king. It can be seen in the early stages of contract formation, how it is not easy to commit to the promise. Look at the British history, you will find that it is a typical continuation and gradual history. In history, conflicts are fierce, the topics of conflicts are old, the solution is slowly promoted, and there is a subversion of innovative changes as the French revolution. So, their characters, whether it is a hero, or a hero, it is difficult to see himself as an open place, and create a special person who has never had a new era, and tends to continue traditional practices. This is the so-called "conservative" of the British. The British walks along the different paths in France to modern times, and the change has also changed. In this way, after the British chopped King Charlie I, I came to the end or in the royal family as a king. When "Glorious Revolution", they rushed away a king, but it was looking for the world. To bring the king's future generation, it is still a king. If this is not the case, then it is unable to have a self-confusion until it kills a strongest come. This is the strongest, it is not like a king, often more than the original king.
A British history, full of bloody and affection in the overcast castle. The entanglement between the royal and European dynasty aristocrats, as well as war and peace, and the people who are now confused and bored. But the relationship between the royal family and the parliament has always had a context. That is the power to start division, contract and commitment to become two-way obligations between the royal family and the people.
And until the last two hundred years, the implementation of the power has arrived in the Parliament, which is the representative of the elected representatives. The royal family has been equipped with a power. Voltaire went from France to the UK, I feel surprised: the King of the UK has gone to the tube, although there is still countless opportunity to do something well, I have no power to do bad things. Today's queen is not only the head of the British church, but also owners of national sovereignty. On the name of the decision of the parliament, the Queen must be the queen, but in fact the Queen's "agree" is already the "requirements" of the Queen, the queen must agree. You must get your consent, and you can't agree, this logic sounds very strange. Today, the British Prime Minister Blair is in a week, and the Queen will be reported to the Queen. This promotion is insightful. Today's Queen Elizabeth II is very open, and once made the TV station into the palace, shooting the Queen's approval decree. I saw the officials of the parliament to stand up, and they read the decree to be approved, and the queen was sitting, it seems to hear very fulfilled. Every time I finished reading, the Queen's answer is a thousand articles: approved.
The royal family has no power, why not raise a member of the royal family? The royal family who lost the power is a small group of people who are inactive. Why can't I do it? This is a place where the revolution is most wants. The British reserved the royal royal family in the 21st century. The outside people often see this as a stupid manifestation of the British.
Today, there is a need to continue to exist in the royal family, and the British sometimes proposed. Because this maintenance is now, more is just a symbol of cultural traditions. Recent surveys have shown that most British still want to maintain status quo.
However, history evolved in a long time period. From the strength of Congress and the royal family, the transition to the Congress is strong enough to be strong enough, and the royal family began to become a group of gentlemen and women. In this key, Congress and the British civilians representing the British civilians, why not take the royal family in Buckingham Palace, as we have the same year to the Forbidden City? Why did they reach the opening ceremony of the British Parliament, let the royal family have a beautiful scenery, and these wigs, the old man with aristocratic titles and the wakes of the suits, and the people who have a painful elective representative of this. What is the ancient ritual of this performance? That is the understanding of the Anglo-Saxon nation on wisdom. They are telling themselves, the contract is to respect, and the lessons of history must be remembered, and a peaceful nation has hope. They are also relive their own historical lessons: any power must be limited. Power must be restricted by power. At this time, I went back to see "The US Revolution": it has the appearance of innovation and change, but he adheres to a "conservative" in the bones. Think about it is not surprising, because the US spiritual kernel is sucked in the UK, rather than a spontable.
Americans have had such an opportunity to create a new country. They divided the state powers that could have "unified strong" into legislation, administration and judicial three blocks. The three power of the three blocks were intertwined, and they were tuning each other, they called "constraints and balance". This is the basic rule of American political structure. All the advantages of this operation process are from this root. And this kind of wisdom, chasing the source, you can catch the black sticks and are "哐 哐".
