Chapter 42 Fireworks are good

Ta Ge is a primitive song and dance that has been handed down since ancient times.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Volume 5: Ancient Music" contains: Xi Getian's music, three people are playing the oxtail, Touzu singing eight ques. Among them, Touzu song means following the rhythm of the music, using the ground as the beat, while edge Sing and dance.

In this dynasty, the late emperor Ruizong directly used the step song as a fun program for the Shangyuan Festival: three hundred people danced with sleeves, and the sound of lyrics was heard in the sky.

Under the giant lantern wheel of Anfu Gate, hundreds of palace maids wearing splendid clothes and red hair are singing and dancing here. You can smell the fragrance of powder from a distance.

In addition, the imperial court also selected more than a thousand young girls from Chang'an and Wannian counties to gather here and take turns singing and dancing for three days and two nights to show the joy of all people.

"What a luxury."

Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.

Under the lights as bright as day, the girls sang and danced, wearing flower crowns, Xiapa, and colorful Luoqi clothes. The whole body cost at least one hundred thousand dollars, and all of this money was funded by the court. It was said that it would cost nearly half a year's tax of a state. .

"Lu Qing was joking."

Mrs. Guo Guo stood beside Lu Li, holding the yellow gelding with one hand, and said fiercely: "This is far different from the lantern tower in front of Qin's government building tomorrow night."

The master craftsman Mao Shun cleverly thought of making silk ribbons and built a lantern tower with thirty rooms and a height of 150 feet.

Miss Qianrui had heard about this, saying that it cost Yongzhou a whole year's taxes, but she didn't know as much as Mrs. Guo. After all, the other party could enter and leave the forbidden palace at will -

Until tomorrow night, the lamp tower has been covered with a long cloth. No one knows what it looks like except the builder.

"Lu Qing doesn't know something. I went to find Mao Shun a few days ago. He said that there are pearls, jade, gold and silver hanging on the lantern tower. When the breeze comes, the sound becomes rhyme, and the lantern looks like a dragon, phoenix, tiger, leaping leopard..."

Mrs. Guo insisted on coming, so Lu Li had no choice but to let her go. However, as the team expanded, the atmosphere became more lively.

However, she always stared at Lu Li's evil ghost mask, with radiance flowing in her eyes, as if her sight could penetrate it.

"When I first entered Chang'an, I specially asked Master Mao Shun to build another lantern and place a hundred-branch lantern tree, eighty feet high, not far from the Xuanyuan giant lantern he built for the saint, so that it can shine brightly at any time."

After Lu Li heard this, he felt a little confused. He could only say that she was indeed Yang Taizhen's sister.

The saint is rich in the world, and now the world is at peace. It makes sense to build a lantern tower to make him happy. But what does she mean by building another lantern tower next to it?

But there was no reason for Li Longji not to know about such a big commotion. Since he didn't stop it, he agreed to this transgression.

Recalling the previous words of Mrs. Guo's beloved maid, whom the sage called aunt, and the morning he said in front of envoys from various countries that he would fight for Yang Taizhen, Lu Li suddenly felt that everything was reasonable.

"Lu Qing, would you like to take a closer look?"

At this time, Mrs. Guo Guo extended an invitation and said with a smile: "If you are willing to go, I will light the lamp immediately."

"Mao Shun said that once this lantern tower is turned on, its light can be seen within a hundred miles, making the sun and moon dim."

This is not a boast. It is eighty feet high, which is 25 meters, and built on a high hill. Tens of thousands of lights can be lit at the same time. It can indeed achieve this level.

Ever since Mrs. Guo Guo's team joined, Miss Qianrui felt that her sense of presence had dropped sharply. She couldn't get a word in at all, and she didn't dare to speak casually for fear of offending the other party.

A brothel prostitute and a country lady.

The gap between the two was so huge that it made people despair. As for Qian Rui, she just wanted Lu Li to redeem herself and take her into her family as a concubine.

As for the official marriage of a good matchmaker, I dare not even think about it. The law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that a good and a bad person cannot be unmarried, and a prostitute in a brothel belongs to the low class.

In addition, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Li and Black Mane Ma's attitude remained the same, Miss Qian Rui would have wanted to find an excuse to leave.

"Ma'am, please don't joke."

After thinking briefly, Lu Li politely declined:

"Lighting up lanterns for one night will cost more than a million. Let's save it until tomorrow night, when all the officials will go upstairs to have a banquet and enjoy the lantern tree built with my wife's money."

After being in contact with her for so long, Lu Li, who was quick-thinking, had already guessed what Mrs. Guo Guo was planning.

If her personality were less flamboyant and her behavior more dignified, she would definitely be regarded as a gift to men. Unfortunately, no one in the world can control her.

The most important thing is what this extremely beautiful lady just said... What does it mean that if you are willing to go, I will immediately order your servant to light the lantern tower.

In ancient times, there was King You of Zhou who used beacon fire to play with the princes, but now there is a lady of Guo who lights a lamp to make Bo Luli smile?

I am not a praiseworthy person!

Of course, Mrs. Guo Guo didn't know that Lu Li had listed her as an untouchable person in her heart. While inviting Lu Li to watch the lanterns in the mansion, she moved forward and greeted her slowly.

But with the maid riding on horseback to clear the way and show her identity, the forward speed is much faster. Although it cannot be compared with normal times, it is much better than moving at a snail's pace.

"The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night, and even blows them down, and the stars are like rain. The carvings of BMWs fill the road with fragrance. The sound of phoenix flutes moves, the light of jade pots turns, and fish and dragons dance all night."

Not long after walking, a clear voice came. Lu Li instantly became energetic, a smile appeared on his face, and he thought: I never expected that Pan Ming, you guy, would be so depressed inside.

A cultural figure in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Aren’t you afraid that other students will copy this poem? There’s not just one time traveler now!

"The lyrics of this song..." Miss Qianrui has studied poetry and lyrics quite a lot and couldn't help but praise: "It's very good."

Later generations will all know Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but that is just a generalization of representative literature. The predecessor of Cipai is the early Tang Dynasty music lyrics, also known as Shiyu.

Therefore, people in the Tang Dynasty were fully capable of appreciating Song poetry.

At this time, the next message came:

"The moth is a golden wisp of snow and willow, and the laughter is full of hidden fragrance. The crowd has searched for him a thousand times, but suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place."

In fact, Pan Ming didn't know that Lu Li was snickering not far away, shaking his head and immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.

at the same time.

Andingfang, southeast corner.

The place is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively. After all, lighting lanterns is one of the most important activities in Buddhism.

The Buddha said that there are four things: first, always be willing to give alms, second, cultivate one's character and conduct prudently, third, observe the precepts and not violate them, and fourth, light lamps in Buddhist temples.

Taking advantage of the excitement of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the abbot of Qianfu Temple ordered the monks to open the central gate, distribute good food, preach the Dharma, and invite passers-by to enter the temple to enjoy it.

"Shaoqing, this should be right here." Yuan Zai said with a flattering smile on his face.

“In the fourth year of Emperor Xianheng’s reign, Emperor Zhanghuai’s crown prince Li Xian turned his residence into a temple, and that’s how Qianfu Temple came into being.”

Li Cake stood on the roof, watching the monks hand out small hand-written scrolls to the believers, and said calmly: "It has been seventy-one years since the third year of Tianbao."

On the side, Yuan Zai nodded silently, with many thoughts in his heart, and sighed: "Things have changed and people have changed."
