Chapter 151 The Qixi Festival that is so crooked that it can't be crooked anymore
The premiere date of "Love Apartment" is the day before the Qixi Festival.
Qixi Festival, known as the Qiqiao Festival in ancient times, is not strictly speaking this festival is not considered Valentine's Day, but well, the festival is something that will change with the times.
In this world, because of the strong Chinese people, this has also led to the Chinese culture all over the world, not to mention the Americas and Australia, even the base camp of the white people Europe has also been deeply influenced by the Chinese culture.
In many European countries, the Spring Festival is even designated as a legal holiday.
This is almost upside down from the world that Enron knew.
In the original Chinese culture, the Lantern Festival of the first month is generally regarded as Valentine's Day, of course, there is another Shangsi Festival on March 3, that is, the birthday of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, which is a Valentine's Day that is older than the Shangyuan Festival, in the pre-Qin era, the Chinese ancestors have regarded this festival as Valentine's Day.
Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty also wrote a poem "Beauty Walking" to depict the grand scene of March 3, which has a poem: "The weather is new on March 3, and there are many beautiful people on the waterside of Chang'an", which can be seen from the status of March 3 in the hearts of the ancients.
However, because these two Valentine's Days are more special, first of all, the Lantern Festival is the first festival after the Spring Festival, and the Lantern Festival is strictly regarded as the Spring Festival, during this time everyone is busy, and in many places in China, the Lantern Festival is more lively than the Spring Festival, in this case, the Valentine's Day role of the Lantern Festival is getting lower and lower.
However, according to what some people on the Internet said, it may be because everyone is too busy during the Lantern Festival, plus it is too cold to go on a date, so this Valentine's Day is slowly not very important.
And March 3rd, as I said before, the world attaches great importance to the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.
So, in the past two hundred years, people have slowly regarded the Qixi Festival, which was originally a begging festival, as Valentine's Day, and the meaning of this festival is indeed very good.
Secondly, this festival is on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be summer, and everyone is dressed coolly, and it is easy to do embarrassing things.
In this case, over the years, Qixi Festival has become the new Valentine's Day, and in this festival, there is even an official statutory holiday.
A hundred or two hundred years ago, this holiday was mainly for people to be able to go on dates and have more children, after all, at that time, the more new babies the better.
And slowly, this festival was decided, and no one pushed it off.
For one or two hundred years, people have not only become accustomed to this festival, but have even given full play to the strength of the broad masses of the people to create new traditions.
For example, there are countless white rabbits on the street, these white rabbits are made of various materials, and they can be placed on the street after they are manufactured, and the state also supports them, and many rabbits are produced every year, and all kinds of rabbits make people feel as if they are in a sea of rabbits.
There are also a variety of other activities.
It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a summer festival.
It can be said that this is a carnival festival for the whole people.
And in this season, there is also a very shy way to show love between boys and girls.
If a girl wants to show love to a boy, then give him a piece of mooncake that she has made herself, and if the boy accepts the mooncake and eats it in person, it means that the boy likes you.
And if a boy wants to show love to a girl, he will give the girl some small objects, such as rings and earrings, etc., and the girl will definitely accept it, and if she doesn't accept it, it will be blown.
"I know everything... But why do you eat moon cakes on the Begging Festival? And why do you have to make jade rabbits? What does this have to do with the moon? Isn't it the Cowherd and Vega?"
After watching the cartoon on TV that was introducing the Qixi Festival, An Ran then looked at Tang Yunxuan on the side expressionlessly, and said lightly.
This made An Ran wonder, if it wasn't for the fact that it was still summer, she would feel that this Qixi Festival was actually the Mid-Autumn Festival!
Meow meow, Qixi Festival to send moon cakes? And is it a boy to a girl to a small thing? Shouldn't it be a girl to give a boy a small object? After all, this is a begging festival! The girls pray to the Weaver Girl for a festival of ingenuity!
Enron didn't know how to complain at all!
"Ahem...... Here's the thing. ”
Tang Yunxuan glanced at An Ran, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and said.
In fact, there was no such thing as moon cakes at the beginning of the Qixi Festival, but one hundred and seventy-two years ago when Jingzong was in the time, Jingzong gave his beloved concubine, that is, the later Empress Renxiao a round cake, and they respected each other all their lives, after the collapse of Empress Renxiao, Jingzong was heartbroken, and finally insisted on leaving for four months. Emperor Jingzong and Empress Renxiao loved the people like a son, and in order to commemorate them, people added round cakes on the day of the Qixi Festival. Then slowly, it became the name moon cake. ”
"So, mooncakes aren't actually mooncakes?"
An Ran touched his chin and said softly.
"Strictly speaking, it's really not a moon cake, and the moon cakes of the Qixi Festival are not filled. ”
Tang Yunxuan glanced at An Ran, although he was very puzzled why An Ran didn't know about this kind of thing that ordinary people knew, but he didn't dig deeper.
And Enron is actually thinking about why she doesn't know about this custom, logically speaking, she inherited Enron's memory, it shouldn't be unclear, no matter how she thinks about it now, she has no impression, that can only be an explanation, that is, the previous Enron, it was not the Qixi Festival at all, and she didn't even care about the Qixi Festival!
"What about rabbits? Logically speaking, it should be made into magpies, right?
An Ran continued to ask suspiciously, this rabbit is really inexplicable, she doesn't read much, but it's impossible to lie to her here, she used to listen to these traditional Chinese myths, and it is impossible not to know the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
Qingniu blindly did a few good deeds and asked the Cowherd to steal the Weaver Girl's clothes, let's not discuss why the Weaver Girl is a fairy to marry the Cowherd because of a piece of clothing, and I don't want to worry about whether the Cowherd is bad, in short, there are many mythological versions, but what remains unchanged is the old cow, and the magpie bridge composed of magpies.
So... Why do you use rabbits?
Hearing this, Tang Yunxuan smiled: "Because in ancient times, girls gave boys rabbits, hoping that boys could take care of themselves and love themselves." ”
Tang Yunxuan will not say that this rabbit is the cold humor of the working people, after all, the Queqiao meeting, influenced by Journey to the West, one day in the sky and one year on the earth, this also means that the Weaver Girl meets every day, and the Cowherd sees people once a year, isn't this the same as a rabbit?
In ancient times, men were superior to women, and the dignified cowherd was played like this by the Weaver Queen Mother, isn't it the same as the rabbit who was played with at will?
This is the dry humor of the masses of the people.
But Tang Yunxuan wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Enron.
As for saying that Enron will know about it in the future, let's talk about it.
