In the area south of the Yangtze River, there has always been a custom of catching Zhou, and according to legend, this custom also originated in the Wu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms era. However, this custom is not only in Jiangnan Province, but also in Yang Yi's hometown of Anqing!

Wudaokou Village, which had little communication with the outside world before, paid extra attention to traditional customs, no, Yang Yi, who had no intention of making a big move, received a set of objects brought to him by Dong Yue'e early, and Dong Yue'e also told Yang Yi on the phone that Yang Yi must do a good job in the ceremony of catching Zhou, and what the child finally caught, she also had to tell her that she was going to take it to pray to her ancestors.

It can be said that there is a certain degree of superstition, but since the old man values it so much, Yang Yi also discussed with Murphy to make a small ceremony for Xiao Yu to catch Zhou.

Xiao Yu had his birthday at the end of November, when he just turned one year old, and it was also the time when Murphy's new album was released, however, Murphy did not go to work that day, but just held a press conference in advance to announce his return, and waited until Xiao Yu's birthday was over, she set off to start the promotion of her new album "journey".

That night, after eating the cake, Yang Yi began to put down the items on the carpet in the living room.

Xi Xi crossed her feet, crawled on the sofa next to her, and looked curiously.

I have to say that Xiao Xi is celebrating her birthday, but in fact, she is still the happiest!

Because Xiao Yu still doesn't understand the meaning of birthdays, nor does he know the joy of opening gifts, and he can't enjoy the delicious birthday cake - although Murphy means to feed the little one a little bread, it is not as sweet and delicious as the cream!

The benefits that Xiao Xi couldn't enjoy, in the end, all of them were enjoyed by Xixi!

Therefore, Xixi is as happy as her birthday tonight, her little belly is filled with delicious cakes, and she can eat until she can't eat it!

No, after eating the cake, the little girl was so panicked that she couldn't sit down at all, so she could only move around, crawl around, eliminate food, and by the way, look at the items that her father put down to grab Zhou.

"Baba, what are these? like dolls made of wood!" Xixi asked curiously.

A few days ago, she had already learned about the concept of catching Zhou from her father, but it was the first time she had seen the items of catching Zhou.

Yang Yi arranged all the items in a circle, and now he is adjusting the spacing of the items to ensure that they are staggered, and seeing Xixi's curiosity, he explained with a smile: "These are made of wood, but the original image is other objects that existed in ancient times, and they all have very complex meanings!"

"For example, this is called the official star seal, you see it is the shape of a dragon, in ancient times, the dragon represents the emperor and imperial power, so its symbol is power and status, if the younger brother catches this, it means that he has the possibility of becoming an official, and he has an official in his life, and the official fortune is prosperous. I saw Yang Yi pick up a dragon-shaped seal made of a plate like a stone lion and explain it to Xixi.

Xixi curiously took it and played with it in her hand.

The official star seal is not large, but the workmanship is very exquisite, and the dragon statue is carved so vividly that even the nostrils and beard can be seen clearly.

Of course, not only this, but every object is the same, and it is very small and lightweight, so as to ensure that children who have just turned one year old can grasp it!

The objects carved from the wood are polished very smoothly, and it is estimated that they have been used for a long time, and the surface of these things has a layer of warm and translucent pulp, which is very comfortable to touch!

Coupled with the already dark tones, these objects look like old antiques!

In addition to learning about the knowledge points he talked about with Xixi, Yang Yi also found that many modern people have problems with grasping Zhou, such as what abacus, magazines, rulers, etc. they use in life to catch Zhou items, not to mention whether the children can take it or not, these items of different colors and shapes are also a kind of interference for children!

Therefore, after discussing with Murphy, they still chose the Zhou Zhou object sent by Dong Yue'e, although it is a little outdated, at least they can symbolically play with Zhou and see what Xiao Yu will choose in the end!

Yang Yi patiently explained to Xixi, and Murphy quickly hugged Xiao Yu from upstairs after taking a shower and changing into new clothes.

"Catch Zhou Zhou, look at what we will do in the future, do we want to be a majestic general, or do we want to be a great musician like Ma Ma and Baba?" Murphy smiled and hugged Xiao Yu to the middle of these objects.

Yang Yi handed over the presiding power to Murphy, held a camera himself, and recorded this small ceremony with a smile.

"What will my brother choose?" Xixi grinned and jumped around beside her. Although there is no little girl's role today, no matter how we say it, we are all small drama bones, and it is necessary to join in the fun and steal the scene!

"Yes, brother, what do you want to choose? Murphy hugged Xiao Yu, who was still ignorant, and pointed his finger at it, asking him to look at them one by one.

"This is the top, this is Lu Bandou......" Xi Xi enthusiastically introduced to her younger brother, just now her father explained to her, Xi Xi remembered most of the names, although, she may not be able to say the standard, "Hmm, this, this is a book, right?"

Like this book, Xixi forgot the name of the object and turned her head to ask her father for help.

"This is called Cangjie Jian, and Cangjie is the creator of our writing in ancient times. Yang Yi smiled and helped add.

However, after looking around, Xi Xi looked interested, but Xiao Yu didn't have the slightest idea of catching one, he might also be a little sleepy, sitting in the middle of a circle of objects, looking at his father for a while, and looking at his mother for a while.

Xiao Yu's confused little eyes seemed to say, "What do you want me to do?"

"Oh, brother, can you catch one!" Xixi couldn't wait, and threw her hands on the carpet next to her, like a little tiger, her body jumped up and down, and she got over to block Xiao Yu's sight from looking at her mother.

Xiao Yu thought that his sister was going to play with him, and suddenly the sleepiness dissipated, and he grinned, and while laughing, he also leaned forward, just like his sister's movements.

"Oh, I'm asking you to choose one, let's see what you will do in the future!" Xixi pursed her lips, pointed to the circle of things, and said, "It's not for you to learn from me!"

Murphy and Yang Yi looked at each other with a little crying and laughing, she stretched out her hand and pulled La Xixi: "Don't affect your brother's choice, you let him choose it himself." ”

However, at this moment, Xiao Yu finally took action, and he grabbed two things on the ground casually.

Yang Yi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that one was a string of bells like a doughnut, and the other was a Hongyale chime that Murphy wanted to take a little Yu Yu! The former symbolizes kindness and medicine in the world, and the latter needless to say, it means that children will be versatile and can sing and dance!

However, neither Yang Yi nor Murphy expected that Xiao Yu didn't care what he was taking, he didn't choose anything, if he did, what Xiao Yu chose was actually his sister who would play with him!

Maybe Xiao Yu misunderstood that Xi Xi wanted him to give them to her, and after seeing her sister being pulled away by her mother, Xiao Yu anxiously grabbed the two most awkward items, got up from the ground, and babbled towards her sister.

"Sister!" I saw Xiao Xi smile happily and stretched out the two little hands he was holding to Xixi.
