"Treat me with long hair and waist, and it would be good for a young man to marry me. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info treat you with green silk and red makeup. But he is afraid of long hair and waist, and the young man loves others. Treat you with green silk and smile, and smile at Jun Huai's smile. ”

After walking into the exhibition hall of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall, a song "Dream of a Daughter with Ten Miles of Red Makeup" created by a collector in Ninghai, Yongcheng area, unconsciously popped out of Zhang Nan's mouth.

Alyosha and the others, although they did not know much poetry, were also surprised by this elegant word, not to mention the several museum professionals who accompanied them all the time.

"Good poem! Xiao Zhang, you have exhausted the thoughts of the woman to be married at that time. ”

It was Director Nong who praised him, which made Zhang Nan a little embarrassed: he was a standard plagiarism.

"It's a pity, the words of the matchmaker of the parents, there were a few women who could really be with their childhood sweethearts, hehe..."

To avoid embarrassment, I had to divert the topic, "Besides, there are no childhood sweethearts in big families, they all live in the Miss Building, how can you casually meet strange teenagers outside." ”

Why did Zhang Nan sigh as soon as he entered the exhibition hall of the museum?

Because in addition to all kinds of cannons in the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall, there are more "Ten Mile Red Makeup" and more famous!

Represented by Ninghai, Yongcheng, in the Ning, Shao and Taiwan regions of Jiangnan Province, there is a kind of folk custom that has been popular in wine from ancient times to the present day - ten miles of red makeup.

This is a scene of marrying a daughter, people often use "thousands of acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup" to describe the richness of the dowry: who said that "marrying a daughter is the water that is spilled out", the old Haoqiang in the eastern part of the Yangtze River taught these clamoring people to be people every minute!

The day before the wedding, in addition to bedding, clothes, pants and shoes, jewelry, bedding and women's red articles and other soft objects sent with the sedan chair when greeting, the rest of the red bride (dowry) is as large as the bed, as small as the thread board, spindle, are sent to the man's house by the porter, and the bridesmaids lay out for it, commonly known as "making the bed".

Large pieces of furniture are carried by two people, many people carry, the complete set of red foot buckets is divided into two ends and one person picks, and small wooden utensils such as buckets and fruit buckets and small things such as porcelain bottles and cans are placed in the red carrying box and carried by two people.

A burden, a bar are all lacquered and golden, and the bed, table, utensils, cages, and bedding are all available, and the daily needs are all-encompassing!

The red makeup procession winding for miles often extends from the woman's house to the husband's house, as if it is a golden dragon in a red robe, full of auspiciousness and festivity, showing off the wealth of the family, so it is called "ten miles of red makeup".

The lively scene of ten miles of red makeup has now become history, and the situation of women that has been inherited for thousands of years has also been completely changed, but all the lifestyles and living spaces that once made ancient women cry, hate, love and glorify can now be seen in the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall.

......

Head-on is a "10,000 work bed", which is exquisite and outrageous!

The director of the agricultural curator introduced: in the exhibition hall, there are three "10,000 beds" and a number of top "1000 beds", as well as several "10,000 sedan chairs", which is absolutely second to none in the country!

"Thousands of beds, 10,000 sedan chairs, ten miles of red dowry": In the lavish wedding, "1000 beds" and "10,000 sedan chairs" are the most important wedding supplies.

The so-called "1,000 workers of the "1000 work bed" means that it takes more than 1,000 man-hours to make a bed - one person has been working for at least 3 years!

The bed is surrounded by carvings and paintings, and the outer layers of the bed are covered with gold and vermilion lacquer, and this kind of bed is not only for sleeping: dressers, snack boxes, stationery boxes, toilets and other household utensils are all available, these are all part of the bed - the inside and outside of the bed are like a small palace.

Of course, ordinary people have no chance to enjoy such a bed.

And the "10,000 beds" in front of several people is the product of the peak: 2.9 meters high, 2.7 meters wide, 2.5 meters deep, there are 95 boxwood Jizi, 7 boxwood tooth plates and 7 boxwood flower boards, 60 bone wood inlay boards, 18 double-sided carved screens, 18 pieces of bas-reliefs, 24 flower pictures, 12 ancient ladies on the front and back of the screen...

In addition to the dazzling array of carvings and inlays, you can also feel the luxury, just look at the material introduction of the bed: yellow pear, red sandalwood, boxwood, ivory and cow bone...

The 60 pieces of tooth and wood inlaid flower panels are scattered in various parts of the bed, which is dizzying - each one almost took more than two months to carve!

The most eye-catching thing is the three bone wood inlay panels on the bed frame: the inlaid scene of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water...

The 60 pieces of ivory and bone wood inlaid flower boards in the whole bed are all inlaid with high and flat inlays, or inlaid with ivory and red sandalwood, or inlaid with cow bones and boxwood, and the text can no longer describe its fineness, complexity and luxury!

"The Qiangong bed can also be done by a master with two apprentices who are about to leave the school, and it can be made in two or three years, and when the bed is ready, the apprentice will be able to leave the school.

This 10,000 working bed has to be done by a few masters and a group of apprentices, otherwise it will take twenty or thirty years to complete!"

Director Nong was making an introduction on the side, and Zhang Nan nodded all the way, "I've heard of this, the master has to take care of the craftsmen and masters three meals a day, and if you are invited from a long distance, you have to take care of accommodation." If several people cooperate, they can't do it separately, otherwise there will be problems.

After living here for two or three years, the eastern part of Jiangnan was really rich at the beginning. ”

It takes such a price to build a piece of furniture, how can a family that is not extremely wealthy afford it?

This will be regarded as an increase in knowledge for Qiu Bo and the others: the furniture in front of them, not to mention the materials, the craftsmanship is already outrageously fine - a small wood carved drawing board, a few centimeters tall figure eyebrows, beards, and hair are all visible!

On the board of a centimeter square tile roof, the tiles carved out with a carving knife are clear, and the eyes are slightly almost almost seen with a magnifying glass: this small piece of roof alone, a top wood carver may take a day.

Zhang Nan had a friend in his last life who collected a pair of top-quality mid-Qing flower boards removed from the old windows, which were only 30 centimeters long and 123 centimeters wide, and cost 300,000 yuan.

The bodyguards were amazed at the fineness of the "Wangong Bed", "This can be compared with Liu Wencai's dragon bed." ”

It was Alyosha who spoke, a soldier in the Rongcheng Military Region, who went to Dayi to visit the class education exhibition hall and saw the bed of Liu Wencai, a super-large landowner.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "Liu Wencai used 30,000 catties of rice to make that bed, which is big and imposing enough, but in terms of fineness alone, the 10,000 beds here can throw off his few streets."

The beds of his wives are quite fine, but the degree of fineness still can't be compared with the thousands of workers and thousands of beds here.

Different regional habits have different process focuses. (To be continued.) )
