"Remember! The cold dew is divided into three waits, one is the guest of the wild goose, the second is the finch into the big water as a clam, and the third is the chrysanthemum with Huang Hua!"

The other three stared at each other with big eyes, looking stupid as if they hadn't remembered. Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "You three, go back and transcribe this sentence one hundred and eight pennies, one less meal less." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three guys' eyes widened, and the lone wolf hurriedly sat there with his paws folded, counting one, two, three.

The monkey asked curiously, "Senior brother, what are you counting?"

The lone wolf said: "I calculate, I won't die of hunger if I eat a few less meals!"

Fangzheng, the red child, the monkey, and the squirrel collectively have black lines on their heads, this dead dog with no interest!

"Master, we asked you about Lidong, what did you say Hanlu for?" asked the squirrel.

Fang Zheng said: "There are three waits for the cold dew, and there are three waits for the beginning of winter, and in ancient China, the beginning of the winter solar term was divided into 3 5 days, and from this three waits were determined: "One waits for the water to start the ice; the second waits for the ground to freeze; and the third waits for the pheasant to enter the water for a mirage." The pheasant in the "Pheasant into the Great Water as a Mirage" is like a finch in the cold dew, but the pheasant here is not a small bird, but refers to a big bird such as a pheasant, and the mirage is a large clam, not a small clam in the cold dew. After the beginning of winter, large birds such as pheasants are rare, but large clams with similar shells and colors to pheasants can be seen on the beach. Therefore, the ancients believed that pheasants would become large clams after the beginning of winter. Remembering these three sentences, you can basically distinguish the difference between the beginning of winter and the cold dew. ”

"That's not right!" Fang Zheng's words had just fallen, and the squirrel, who had just been praised, immediately rebelled, shouting that Fang Zheng was wrong.

Fang Zheng said: "Oh, what's wrong?"

"Master, didn't you say that after the beginning of winter, the water began to freeze? But when I came, I saw that the Tianlong Pond was not frozen. The squirrel shouted.

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, took a group of apprentices out to see, pushed open the gate of the temple, and sure enough, the mist of Tianlong Pool under the moonlight was churning, and there were indeed no ice crystals on the water surface at all! Fang Zheng reached into the water, and the pool water was a little warm. In fact, the water temperature is not low, but it is a little higher than the air outside, so it seems a little warm.

Fang Zheng muttered: "Strange, isn't this Tianlong Pool still a hot spring?"

"Ding! It's not a hot spring, Tianlong Pond is a Buddhist dragon pool, no matter how cold the pool water is, it won't freeze, otherwise wouldn't the koi fish be frozen into ice mounds, and what kind of dragon will they turn into?"

Fang Zheng suddenly realized and muttered, "I see." ”

"Master, you haven't said yet, why isn't this water frozen? The squirrel barked again.

Fang Zheng knocked on his little head and said: "This Tianlong Pond is not ordinary, and the water produced is not ordinary water, so naturally it will not freeze! ”

"All right!" the crowd applauded, the bells and drums accompanied the rising sun, and a new day began.

At the same time, Fang Zheng found that after the early morning, I don't know if it was stimulated by the sun, or the beginning of winter, what happened, this Tianlong Pond is like boiling boiling water, the fog is steaming, extremely rich, but the fog is not floating high, just spreading around, covering the entire Yizhi Mountain, as if out of thin air for Yizhi Mountain to spread a layer of white cloud velvet blanket!

However, there is no white mist above the dragon pond on this day, and the lake water is like a mirror, extremely transparent, like two treasure mirrors! The treasure mirror reflects the red brick and gold-roofed temple, the towering bell tower, the drum tower, the emerald green bamboo, and the arhat tree whose golden leaves have not yet fallen off.

Fang Zheng couldn't sit still for a moment, took out his mobile phone, took a multi-angle shot of this beautiful scenery, and then played selfies with his disciples.

As a result, Fang Zheng found that the situation had changed again!

As the morning sun rose and the sun shone obliquely, the mist was dyed golden by the golden sunlight! For a moment, the entire Yizhi Mountain changed its costume again! From white clouds to golden splendor! At the same time, the nine bridges and holes were also lit up, and they were golden and bright, and their eyes were straight! Hurry up and take a few more pictures.

When the shooting was finished, Fang Zheng looked at those photos and was also amazed. I picked a few of the best photos I took and posted them to my circle of friends.

After doing all this, Fang Zheng took his disciples to take care of the temple, clean up the Buddhist hall, have breakfast, check the pickled sauerkraut, and then look at a pillar of optimus ginseng, and finally Fang Zheng inspected a circle of crystal rice fields that were about to ripen. Only then did he take his apprentices down the mountain to find water to freeze, and at the same time, Fang Zheng also figured out that it was time to improve the food after the beginning of winter.

"Master, didn't you say that there is something delicious in the beginning of winter, what are we going to eat in the beginning of winter?"

Fang Zheng smiled: "Do you know why you will subconsciously eat a lot more when you arrive in Lidong?"

Several disciples subconsciously shook their heads, they want to know, they are not them, please call them goblins!

Fang Zheng said as he walked: "After the beginning of winter, it means that winter is officially coming. The reason why you eat wildly is also to have a final feast, whether it is to hibernate in winter, or to survive in winter, to replenish the last energy and fat, this is your instinct, not greedy, all for survival. Although human beings do not hibernate, Chinese folk have the custom of starting winter to make up for winter. In cold weather, eat more warm and nourishing foods, which can not only make the body stronger, but also play a good role in keeping out the cold.

This is a physiological explanation, people spend the beginning of winter, and there are also factors in the inheritance of customs.

The beginning of winter, the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, and the beginning of autumn are collectively known as Sili, and it is an important festival in ancient society. In the past, it was an agrarian society, and after a year of labor, I took advantage of the day of the beginning of winter to rest, and by the way, I rewarded the hard work of my family. There is a proverb: "The beginning of winter makes up for winter, and fills the empty mouth", which is the best metaphor. In ancient times, on this day, the Son of Heaven had the gift of going out to the suburbs to welcome winter, and there was a system of giving winter clothes to the ministers and showing compassion to the orphans and widows. Later generations followed suit, and it became a tradition and was handed down.

What I just said is welcoming winter, and there is also a winter salute, also called He Dong. This began to appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been passed down to the present day, and the emphasis is on wearing new clothes and hats, and the whole person has a new look to celebrate the coming of winter.

Overall, it's this day, everything is good, everyone just has fun. ”

After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he looked at a few apprentices, the monkey was thoughtful, the red boy was full of interest, the lone wolf licked his mouth, flicked his tail and looked like he was going out crazy, only the squirrel looked at Fang Zheng with a disgusted face, and said, "Master, you said a lot, but you didn't get to the point." Just tell me, it's the beginning of winter, what are we going to eat...... Nothing else, it doesn't matter. ”
