Chapter 227: Shangliang (I)

After finishing these, my mother carried some yellow cakes to distribute to the neighbors and sisters who came to help, Li Junge fed them two pieces each, and drove them away, so he picked a big pick of the materials that Uncle A Chong had explained, and came to the ancestral hall and said to Uncle A Chong: "Uncle A Chong, the things are ready, can you see how to use them?"

Uncle Ah Chong picked up the things and inspected them one by one, and finally picked up the winning money to inspect them.

The shape of the winning money is the appearance of a big copper coin, but what is written on it is not a certain Tongbao, but "crape myrtle Gaozhao", behind which is a charm similar to the word "mountain ghost", with Tai Chi gossip, used to drive away evil spirits.

Uncle Ah Chong flicked the money noodles, reversed the weight again, and said: "Well, yes, the pressure hand is thick, and the amount of copper listening to the voice is enough, good money!"

Li Junge asked, "Have you seen that everything is ready?"

Uncle Ah Chong checked it again, and after making sure that it was perfect, he said: "Okay, this is all alive, on the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar, we will go to the beam!"

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and only Wang Meixian was the only child in the family who couldn't come over in Shu, so she only made a phone call to complain, and asked her cousin to send Huang Ba over to satisfy her hunger. The rest of the bear babies have also arrived, and in addition to taking Bai Da to hang around the village all day long, they are running around with the children in the village, making the whole village noisy.

There are a lot of rare things in the village, Ma Tou is practicing filming TV, the forest farm heard that you can go to Sister Ayin's Miao Village with a zipline, and there is a pile of wooden fans at the head of the village I heard that I want to get up a house, this is to grab sugar and poop, I feel strange to see everything one by one, and I am so excited that I don't want it.

Li Junge arranged for Si Xingzhun to take pictures, the technical team also stopped what they were doing and fiddled with the drone, and Liang Huili Ayin was also busy arranging matters.

January 1st, New Year's Day, it is advisable to break ground, get up the house, and sacrifice.

The head of the village has long been surrounded by a sea of people, and even Panao Township has come to many folks from outside their own homes, and there are many young and old people hanging on the trees in the distance, and even Si Xingping has helped the old man Si to mix in the crowd watching the excitement, and he looked at this side curiously.

In addition to the baby, there are two international friends, this meeting is too festive, the two girls are so happy that they scream, holding a SLR camera and a portable camera to shoot.

Today's tourists who come to Lijiagou are also blessed, and those who fish are no longer fishing, and those who pick up stones are not picked up, and they are all piled up at the head of the greenway.

The happiest thing is the photography enthusiast who comes to shoot birds with long guns and short cannons, and now the birds don't shoot anymore, and they occupy the favorable position one by one, and the long and short lenses are set up, which is more professional than Si Xingzhun and Song Jie.

Uncle Ah Chong, Ah Tong, and more than a dozen Miao babies packed themselves properly, and carried the beams over early in the morning and set them up.

Today there are a total of three ceremonies, the stool, the mountain, and the beam.

"Bench", that is, the pillar base, this is the old stone small stone of the handicraft, a water drum shape, the relief of the Ruicao Xiang beast carved in the hollow, one race one exquisite.

The stool represents the foundation, so the process of installing the stool is very important for the builder of the house.

The camera turned on, the drone was raised, and the two firecrackers were released, Uncle Ah Chong walked to the front of the roof with a red face, and bowed his hand to Li Junge, who was standing there silly, and chanted a congratulatory message: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground." The Lord has built a new house today, and now I will lay the foundation. On the left, there are thousands of years, and on the right, there are thousands of years. The front and back set up the gold vault, and the middle set up Fu Luxi. The house of the Lord of Ander was full of joy, and the crops of the fields of Ander were raised, and the great animals of Ander were prosperous, and the barren mountains of Ander became fields. It is not too late to come early, now is the time when I send the hammer, this hammer is not an ordinary hammer, it is the Luban first master system. One hammer of the gods returned to the heavenly court, two hammers of ferocious evil into the earth, three hammers of ghosts followed the west, and four hammers of demons were not to come. Skilled craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, a few stools, very famous, finely carved, high craftsmanship, the front eaves pillar to play well, play a two dragons to grab the treasure, the middle pillar a pair of strong, play a double phoenix to Chaoyang, the back eaves pillar to play fine, play a lion with a unicorn!"

These four words and eight sentences were well arranged, and they were very festive, and Li Junge and the villagers applauded wildly, shouting in unison, "Good!"

In the middle, the old stone is the most energetic, and the mouth is crooked, this carpenter is the same as the carpenter, and he can be handed over!

The two of them were in charge of a bench and quickly set it up.

The next step was supposed to be a "row of fans", that is, carpenters arranged various materials into a whole one by one.

The Miao family wooden building is usually four with three rooms. "Fan" by the column head, the cylinder for longitudinal arrangement, generally there are three pillars four rides, five pillars two rides, between the column and the column, between the column and the cylinder have a certain size ratio, by the horizontal connection of the fang, such as the foot fang, the lantern fang, the row of fan fang, pick the fang, etc.

The "row fans" are placed in order after the completion of the work, indicating that the construction of the house is finally completed, and it also means that the assembly phase of building the house has officially begun.

This step is time-consuming and laborious, and it has been done by the Miao babies before, just waiting for today's "Lishan".

As the name suggests, "Tateyama" is to erect a row of fans, and the front looks like the word "mountain".

The rule is to set up the middle hall first, and then set up the wings.

Each row of fans was tied with thick hemp rope at the top, and the rope was spread on the ground, and the task of Tateyama could not be accomplished by one or two people, but by the strong laborers of a village.

The old and young masters of Li Jiagou all came to both sides of the rope, holding the rope in their hands, just waiting for Uncle Ah Chong to give the order.

I saw Uncle Ah Chong holding an axe in one hand. Holding a chicken in one hand, he climbed on the central pillar of the middle hall with one foot, and while gesturing, he read aloud in his mouth: "This chicken, this chicken, not an ordinary chicken, it is useless for others to use it, and the disciple uses it to stop the evil spirit." The heavens, the earth, the year, and the moon are evil, and only this chicken can stop the evil. As soon as the magic hammer sounded, the door opened, and the lord asked me to raise the fan, and all the relatives and neighbors worked together......

As he spoke, he slammed an axe on the back of the pillar: "Hey, get up!"

The old and young masters shouted in unison, and together they set up the fans in a row, and fixed the ropes. Every time you stand a door, you have to say a set of four-word gifts, the sets are different, and each is wonderful.

The strength of the people is great, and the process of standing the mountain will be completed in a short time, and then it will be the most solemn ceremony, "Shangliang".

The ceremony begins with the sacrifice of the beam. Commanding the Miao Wa to put Liang Mu in the middle of Huatang first, Uncle Ah Chong held an axe and chisel in one hand and a vegetable plate in the other, among which there were wine, meat, fructose and the like, and walked into Huatang alone.

First burned incense and paper in front of Liang Mu to sacrifice Lu Ban and Xian Ling, and together with cigarettes, Li Junge beckoned Ermao, who was in charge of firecrackers, and Ermao hurriedly lit the firecrackers with cigarette butts, and there was a crackling sound.

Uncle Ah Chong began to pray loudly again: "The day is auspicious, the heaven and the earth are open, the golden beams and jade pillars are flashing, and today is the zodiac, and the good fortune is great!"

After speaking, he knelt down in front of Liang Mu, and after three bows, he then said: "A tea tray with four corners, Zhang Lang designed a Luban suit; ”

"Don't say what the pot looks like, but say that the pot is useful, and that day he was a silversmith and invited him into the house to play tricks. ”

"A silver tooth head in front of it, a goose beak will pour out wine, the silver tooth head is easy to catch, and there is a pot of grain wine inside; what is the use of the master to take it? ”

After speaking, he clicked a little on each of the three parts of the beam.

"One sacrifice to the pillars, the children and grandchildren are the princes; the second sacrifice to the pillars of the waist, the children and grandchildren are in the Gang Dynasty; the third sacrifice to the pillars and tails, the wealth and glory are long. ”

Ah Tong handed over the big just now. Uncle Ah Chong took it, and invited the earth vein dragon god and Lu Ban ancestor to slaughter the chicken, carrying the rooster spurting blood, and pouring the chicken blood from the head of the beam to the tail of the beam.

When the head of the beam was drenched, Uncle Ah Chong said loudly: "Liang Tou is good, the descendants of the proprietor are early to seal the marquis!" When he sacrificed to Liang Zhong, he said: "Liang Zhongping, generations of children and grandchildren are in the imperial court!"

After reading this, Uncle Ah Chong ripped off some chicken feathers and stained them on the chicken blood on the middle beam.

The bright red chicken blood was poured on the beams, wrapped left and right, and the shape was like a soaring dragon.

There are knowledgeable people who lead the rhythm in the crowd: "If you want it, you have to get it! The host's family wants to get rich!"

So everyone applauded.

Next, the beam mouth is opened, in fact, the beam mouth has already been opened, and now it is just a ceremony.

Ah Tong also came up with an axe and a file, and stood at the head and tail of the beam with Uncle Ah Chong.

Uncle Ah Chong sang loudly first: "It is said that the east is the first to open the beam, and the main east is blessed with all kinds of things, and the glory and wealth are endless, and the treasure land is like the Dragon Palace." ”

After speaking, he used an axe to shovel off a piece of sawdust at the east end of the wooden beam.

Liangwei's Ah Tong also went on to give a gift: "The master opens the east and I open the west, and everything goes well in the east of the master, since it is completed today, wealth is like going up the ladder." ”

This process is exquisite, such as the axe to cut the bark and other sawdust to wrap in red cloth, can not be scattered on the ground for people to trample, and part of the wood residue is wrapped in red cloth and treasured in the box, which is called "wood (wealth)".

Next, Uncle Ah Chong and Ah Tong began the beam-making ceremony, one of them sharpened, the other planed, and said the gift while cutting.

Uncle Ah Chong sang: "This beam and this beam, where was born and where did you grow? Who saw you born, who saw you grow? Lu Ban saw you born, Zhang Lang saw you grow." Born on the Ximi Mountain, he has the light of the sun and the moon, he grows in front of the Babao Mountain, he is born with thin leaves, there are thousands of branches and leaves, and there are blessings and well-being below. Zhang Langyun hit a horse-to-axe to cut down, and Luban Mountain sawed the ruler to intercept it. The first emperor repaired the Jinlan Palace, and the second section bachelor repaired the Confucian School. There are only three sections, neither long nor short, neither short nor long, and it is useless for others to take them, only the main east is the pillar. Tell the disciples to come and put them down, cut off the head and tail and measure it with a ruler. The large ruler measures three feet three, and the small ruler measures eight feet long. The lord invited forty-eight good sons and daughters to blow lightly into the woodyard. A pair of Trojan horses, like mandarin ducks, a curved ruler, a straight measure. With an axe, the shovel is square, and the planer is gone, and the planer is flat. The ink line is flicked in the center, the night pearl light is installed on both sides, and the bright moon shines on the hall in the middle!"

A long paragraph, sung in one breath, without a single pause in the middle, in the cheers of everyone, the two quickly made the beams wooden.

The ritual of coming down again is called "putting grain up".

"Put grain up" is to dig out a small square hole with a length, width and depth of one inch in the center of the beam facing downward, which is used to put tea, grain and rice, gold and silver, and cinnabar.

Tea means peace and security;

The meaning of grain and rice is abundant, representing abundant food and clothing;

The meaning of gold and silver is naturally more clear, and it is nothing more than representing the glory and wealth after the completion of the new house.

Cinnabar is used to ward off evil spirits.

Of course, you won't put too much gold and silver, just put in a little bit to show the meaning. In the old time, he put copper coins, and Li Junge asked his second aunt to buy six commemorative silver coins for Uncle Ah Chong.

This road is the same from the royal family to the grass people, and these things were also found on the beams when the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City was renovated.

"Putting grain up" is very particular, and it can only be chiseled twice. The carpenter had a chisel with a sharp edge, which he had to use to put the grain.
