Begging for cleverness

Chinese Valentine's Day, begging for luck.

Legend has it that this is a festival that dates back to the Han Dynasty. It was first recorded in writing in "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. "The colorful girls of the Han Dynasty often pierce a seven-hole needle in the Kaijin Tower on July 7th, and everyone practices it."

”.

In many places, various small objects are made of flour, which are called "Qiaoguo" after being fried in oil. Qiaoguo, lotus root, white lotus root, red water chestnut, etc. are displayed in the courtyard at night. The girl threads a needle on the moon to pray to the Weaver Girl for blessings.

If it is dressed well with skillful skills, it is called "deqiao".

Of course, the protagonists of begging for luck are often girls who are waiting for marriage. They have many fantasies in their hearts, and they hope that their future husband will be a handsome man, and hope that he will be the pillar of the family.

On Chinese Valentine's Day, the official designated food is pancake, which is a steamed flatbread shared and eaten, and the officials designated this day as an official holiday, giving them a day off.

I must praise that from the perspective of officials, vacations in the Tang Dynasty were really pleasant.

Those with financial resources will also organize some activities, such as folk songs, fan dances, and social fire games.

Those who have the conditions can also complete the entire process by sitting on Qiao, welcoming Qiao, worshiping Qiao, worshiping Qiao, entertaining Qiao, divination Qiao, and sending Qiao away for seven days and eight nights, that is, from June 30 to July 7.

This set of procedures was carried forward in later generations in Changdao County, Chengdu (governing Changdao Town, Xihe County, Longnan, Gansu Province), and has also become an intangible cultural heritage.

This kind of long-term festival situation would be a bit difficult if it were not supported by tourism.

Not to mention anything else, just the food and accommodation for the personnel is a huge expense.

Therefore, the general arrangement is to hold activities on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

At the same time, this day is also a day for people to demonstrate against neighbors with whom they have bad relations.

You are greedy, my land boat, the high beams are twisting in a coquettish way, the folk songs are flying into the sky, I will make you mad!

On the opposite side of Qinglong Square, a land boat was rowed at the gate of the square. Mo Chenyu, the marquis of the square, leaned against the gate with a look of provocation on his face.

Hou Mochen is a Xianbei surname. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was given the Han surname "Chen". For some reason, in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, the old surname was restored again. Now Hou Mochen and Chen are used together. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Hou Mochen took advantage of it.

It's rare.

Originally, the two families were facing each other, and bickering was unavoidable in daily life. Most of them were similar to "what are you looking at?"

Don't think that it doesn't hurt when Wu Hou's scabbard slaps you on your body.

The Wuhou who is stationed in each village will not be biased towards the village. They have their own duties.

The sound of the suona suddenly sounded from Dunhuafang, and what it was playing was the immature "Ten Scenes". Birds singing and flowers fragrant, it may not be full of vitality, but it is definitely lively and rough.

Some people think that the suona is a local musical instrument, some think that it came from the Western Regions and Central Asia in the third century, and some think that it came from the Yuan Dynasty.

But no matter what, the style, function, and music of the suona have undergone great changes. The Ten Scenes were carried forward by Wei Ziyou in the late Qing Dynasty and early dynasty, and became the contemporary famous classical music "Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix".

Suona is popular in Funing County, Suizhou, Guannai Province (now Mahuyu, Mizhi County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province) and surrounding counties. It is famous for its loud volume and high-pitched and bright tone. Even if it is not perfected, once the suona is played, there will still be no sound.

.

Fan Zheng's eyes widened, and he discovered for the first time that Aye, who came from home, could also be an artistic young man!

Fan Laoshi's cheeks puffed up and his body swayed rhythmically. The light sweat on his forehead was wiped away by Yuan Luan with a white cloth, without disturbing his playing at all.

Fan Zheng suddenly realized that the dog food he had been stuffed into his mouth had been stuffed by Aye Auntie herself.

Just by looking at Yuan Luan's gentle eyes, you can roughly guess that maybe A Niang was really moved by this suona.

Lu Jiasheng stepped on the high beam, danced with enchanting posture, dressed as a matchmaker, and had a big mole on the corner of his mouth, which made everyone in the neighborhood laugh from ear to ear.

The contrast is too great.

The land boat is rowed with great strength and looks impressive.

The grand finale was Aunt Fan's role as the Overlord of Western Chu. With her scruffy costumes, her singing voice of "Strengthening the Mountains and Breathtaking Spirits", and a whole section of solid wood trunks dancing vigorously, it completely overshadowed Qinglongfang's limelight.

Everyone knows that Aunt Fan is very powerful, but no one thought that she could be as powerful as this.

The students of Fangxue, under the leadership of Mi Fei, Zhen Xing and Zhen Bang controlled the team, Wu Qi and Wu Sang timidly followed behind, applauding each and every one.

In this era of lack of entertainment, social fire is a rare enjoyment for the people at the bottom.

"good!"

Qi Guanzhi, wearing soft-footed buns and a round-collar robe, walked into the square gate with a big smile.

"In previous years, Dunhuafang was unable to stir up social turmoil, and no one was able to unite people's hearts."

Liao Teng walked in, his belly rippling in circles, and explained with a smile.

In previous years, Dunhuafang did not have the financial resources to engage in such extravagant activities, nor could it unite people's hearts.

Otherwise, why would it be at the bottom among the more than fifty squares in Wannian County?

Fan Zheng crossed his hands and saluted: "I have seen the Ming Dynasty, and I have met Liao Weng."

Qi Guanzhi returned the greeting casually, but Liao Teng smiled and said: "In the blink of an eye, I have to call you Shangguan."

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "It's just luck. I have to thank Liao Weng for always giving me advice."

Hou Mo and Chen Yu from Qinglongfang across the street felt sore all over.

Although Qinglongfang has not been ranked high in Wannian County in recent years, it is much better than Dunhuafang, but the Ming Dynasty went to Dunhuafang!

Isn't it just to attract the attention of the Ming government by engaging in such a big battle so that next year's taxes will be slightly relaxed?

Hou Mo and Chen Yu didn't know that Fan Zheng was completely different from him. He was a junior official from the ninth rank, so they couldn't be compared to him.

"I didn't expect Fan Dongjia to be good at musical instruments."

Qi Guanzhi praised.

Fan Laoshi grinned, showing a hint of pride: "That's because back then, people called me Xiao Zhou Bo."

Fan Zheng pouted: "Zhou Bo played Xiao back then."

Fan Laoshi was furious: "You little bastard! If I say I am playing the suona, I am playing the suona! Don't think that I won't beat you when you become an official!"

Yuan Luan covered her lips and smiled softly: "No matter what he plays, he can't play it as well as my husband."

It is true that Zhou Bo played the flute mainly to earn a living at the funeral. The tone was mainly sad, and of course it was not as cheerful as Fan Laoshi.

Fan Laoshi immediately turned from anger to joy, put away his suona triumphantly, and looked at Fan Zheng with a mighty look.

Qi Guanzhi chuckled: "What a harmonious and beautiful family."

This is not a lie,

Perhaps the happiest families are those who stumble a bit from time to time.

"How many of the fifty newlyweds are pregnant?"

Qi Guanzhi is most concerned about this.

It's not that he has any bad habits, but the growth rate of the population under his rule is related to his exams.

Fan Zheng showed a proud smile: "Thirty-one women have been confirmed to be pregnant, and the remaining 20 or so are being nursed back to health according to the doctor's instructions."

For doctors in the Tang Dynasty, the title of doctor was an official position. Real medical personnel were called medical workers and doctors. They had to be certified by the Taichang Temple Imperial Medical Office. Not everyone could treat diseases randomly.

("In the Spring" disliked the poor people who couldn't pay the rent and kicked them out. Try your best to update the second update.)
