The whole ceremony is as follows:
Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the civil and military officials entered the hall in turn, divided into two classes, left and right, kneeling in the hatchback. The palace guards stood behind the civil and military officials, and then there was the "lens" that is often seen in today's film and television works-a large number of officials shouted "The Emperor is coming", and the voice was far and near. Liu Bang was also surrounded by everyone and got out of the chariot slowly. When the emperor arrived, the officials read a set of disgusting congratulations according to the size of their official positions, and then the banquet began. It is very different from the situation of "drunk or screaming, drawing a sword and hitting a column" in the past. Needless to say, those civil servants, as well as those unruly generals who lie prone on the ground at ordinary times, all lifted their necks and raised their eyebrows to look up (readers may wish to compare the scenes of Yan Zi and Shang Yang meeting the monarch).

After the ceremony, French wines will be reset. Those who waited in the temple bowed their heads and lived their lives in order to respect them. After nine lines, the flatterer said,' Stop drinking!' The advice and implementation of laws are not as good as documents. No one dares to make a noise when buying wine, and no one dares to be rude. So Gaudi (that is, Liu Bang, the leader) said,' I am called the emperor's treasure today. It is common to worship Uncle Sun Tong and give him 500 gold coins. "
A famous historian in Taiwan Province Province wrote: "From then on, the emperor was separated from the people, and even the most distinguished minister was separated by the most proud masterpiece of Confucianism-courtiers. In the Warring States period, monarchs and ministers sat face to face, talking with their knees touching their knees.
