Chapter 114: Mid-Autumn Festival

In ancient times, eating moon cakes paid attention to everyone eating one, cutting it into pieces according to each person, one for each person, and leaving one for his family members who did not go home, which is not so particular in modern times.

In the Song Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival night will put Krathong, the night market is open all night, and the people also play all night, because according to legend, the later you sleep on the day, the longer you live, of course, the moon cakes can be less but the osmanthus wine can not be less, the literati and writers of the Song Dynasty prefer to sing about the wine, and the family reunion is popular to worship the moon instead of admiring the moon, to pray for their own beautiful vision of the future.

The Mid-Autumn Festival customs of the Yuan Dynasty almost did not bring forth the new, but at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the story of Zhu Yuanzhang and moon cakes is still talked about by people.

According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang united various rebel forces to prepare for the uprising, and it was very difficult to deliver the news, so the military advisor Liu Bowen came up with a plan to hide the note in the cake to deliver the news, and finally all the people responded together, and the rebel army was like a spark.

In the Ming Dynasty, Mid-Autumn moon cakes and watermelons were a must-have, and the watermelons should be carved into lotus shapes for the Mid-Autumn Festival night to welcome the cold and sacrifice the moon. Carving is a technical job, at least it is difficult for modern people to do it without practice.

In the Qing Dynasty, girls celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the custom of stealing onions and vegetables was very popular.

Saying goes:

steal a green onion and marry a good husband;

Steal a dish and find a good son-in-law.

Married women steal melons to ask for children, and I have to say that the Mid-Autumn Festival customs of each dynasty are very interesting.

The custom of sending moon cakes originated in the Ming Dynasty,

With moon cakes, take the righteousness of reunion,

In the Qing Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes were more popular, and it affected the holiday consumption behavior of modern people.

Although the New Tang Dynasty originated from the Tang Dynasty, it was only more than 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the Mid-Autumn Festival of the New Tang Dynasty integrates the characteristics of various dynasties and generations, and even other ethnic groups, and various customs are even more varied, and the folk atmosphere is particularly active.

.......................

"Look, this is the New Tang Dynasty homestay, there are many antique homestays on Chang'an Island, and they are all gathered together one village after another, wearing ancient costumes and shuttling through, as if they have really traveled to ancient times. Tang Xinrong held up her mobile phone and said live.

Since she had a pleasant encounter with Li Quan, she became famous in one fell swoop and directly became the super popular anchor of Panda Live.

"Wow, the villages here are obviously a little backward, how can they look so beautiful. ”

"The village in front of you looks backward and disorganized, but if you look closely, you will find that it is full of symmetrical beauty, and I believe that if you look down from the sky, most people can understand the layout of the whole village. ”

"I don't know the calendar. ”

"You must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, not to mention that in addition to inheriting the ancient craftsmanship, the new Tang Dynasty has also come into contact with modern building technology, relying on the terrain and environment of Chang'an Island, it has formed a unique style of the new Tang Dynasty. ”

There are obviously a lot of architectural professionals or enthusiasts in the live broadcast room, and the facts are indeed as they say.

"Look, in Honglu County and Chang'an Island Wharf, there are a lot of this kind of ancient costumes for sale, in order to better experience the atmosphere of the festival, most tourists are to buy one or more sets of such clothing, it is worth mentioning that the workmanship of this dress is very good, and it is not expensive, I spent less than 1,000 yuan on a piece of clothing from head to toe, decoration in total. Saying that, he also showed his outfit to the netizens in the live broadcast room, a white fairy-like costume, which still looks very beautiful and fairy.

"666, whose little fairy is this? ”

"It is suspected that the fairy has fallen into the dust. ”

"It's so wet, it's so wet. ”

"Our young lady is indeed very fairy when she wears this ancient costume, and the contrast with the cold royal sister Fan in modern clothes is very great, it is like two people, amazing, powerful. ”

"These classical villages on Chang'an Island were inhabited by the common people of the Tang Dynasty in the past, but later their king wanted to integrate the land and establish a large farm and medicine garden, so he moved the people to the newly built manor around the farm and medicine garden. Tang Xinrong is obviously doing her homework and knows a lot about New Tang.

"Although about half of the villages have been demolished because of the location, but the remaining half, the king has ordered that they should not be demolished at will, and all of them have been converted into these classical homestay villages that we see now for the development of tourism on Chang'an Island. Tang Xinrong introduced as she walked.

"Nuvoton's tourism industry has developed rapidly since the opening of Honglu International Airport, and the income of the people of Nuvoton has increased much compared to before, and I really admire Mr. Wang. Tang Xinrong did not forget to praise Li Quan, she already regarded Li Quan as her nobleman.

Along the way, I saw a lot of novel customs, some of which she knew would be introduced to everyone, and some of which she didn't know, and some netizens would add in the live broadcast room, I have to say that there are still a lot of talents in the live broadcast room.

Except for a few anchors who linger in other places in New Tang, most of them come to New Tang's capital, Chang'an City.

"Hello everyone, I'm Da Sima, I'm not going to broadcast the game live today, I'll show you something different, I think many people have already guessed what kind of place this is. "Da Sima is a well-known game streamer, but today, there are many game streamers like them who have also joined Nuvoton's Mid-Autumn Festival live broadcast army.

"Isn't this the capital of the New Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, today's live broadcast room is full of live broadcasts about the New Tang Dynasty, as if the sky has changed all of a sudden. ”

"It's true, just open a first-line anchor, it's all about Nutang's live broadcast. ”

"You're right, this is the capital of the New Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, I did a lot of homework before I came, let me introduce you to Chang'an City. Da Sima said.

"If you don't go to the Great Wall, you don't know that you don't know its majesty if you haven't been to Chang'an City, if the Chang'an City in front of you is only one-third of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"According to my information, the area of Tang Chang'an City is 83.1 square kilometers, according to the symmetrical layout of the central axis, composed of the outer Guo City, the palace city and the imperial city, and the streets in the city are criss-crossed, dividing 110 Li Fang.

In addition, there are large industrial and commercial areas such as the East Market and the West Market and artificial gardens such as the Hibiscus Garden, and the overall planning of the city is neat and the layout is rigorous, which can be called a model of the ancient Chinese capital. ”

"There is no harm if there is no comparison, then do you know the situation of other super capitals in world history, it is 2.4 times the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, 1.4 times the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, 7 times larger than Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire in the same period, 6.2 times larger than the city of Baghdad built in 800 AD, and five times that of ancient Rome, and even for more than 1,400 years thereafter, it has been the largest capital built by mankind, and it is the first city in the world. Da Sima was very excited to introduce to everyone.
