221 【Temple Fair 2.0】

Speaking of which, the temple fair should be the oldest and oldest intangible cultural heritage in the land of China. According to historical research, the earliest form of the temple fair should be the sacrifice in ancient times, at that time, a frequent and particularly important event in people's lives during the sacrifice. There are historical sources that once commented on the sacrifice and said that it was the most important event in the life of the country as much as war. In the early days, this kind of sacrificial activities were mainly to worship ancestors and some creation gods, in this process, people from various tribes came from all directions, gathered in a certain place, and carried out some activities for half a month, or even longer, such as offering offerings, playing divine comedy, holding various rituals, etc., this kind of gathering is regarded by historians as the prototype of the temple fair.

Later, with the development of the times and the prevalence of religion, similar gatherings not only occurred during the time of sacrifice, but also ushered in a large number of pilgrims on the day of worship of the Buddha in temples and Taoist temples. Those small traders and hawkers with more active brains saw business opportunities, and would come to set up stalls around the temple fair on this fixed day, at the beginning it was the main food, and later, it formed a certain scale, not only selling food and drink, but also selling handicrafts, and even some music artists came to pick up the land and make money to support their families by selling their arts.

"Na, Uncle Xiaowu, this kind of temple fair that will only be opened during the New Year is different from the kind of temple fair around the temple, right?" Xia Xia held a string of red sugar gourds and looked at Xia Zewu who gave them a few children to popularize the common sense of the temple fair.

"Of course, first of all, the temple fair for the New Year is once a year, only at this time, the kind of temple, as long as the temple holds large-scale activities, such as the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day and other days, there will be a temple fair. Secondly, the temple fairs of the New Year are all about eating, drinking, entertainment and performances, and the temple fairs are ......," Xia Zewu pouted, "I have been there once, and I definitely don't want to go to the second time. ”

"Well, according to the new saying that is more popular on the Internet now, it is ......" Shu Chang, who had the same experience, nodded in agreement, "I feel that my body is hollowed out, and I don't want to do anything, so I want to go home and lie down slowly." Those people's mouths are so poofed, and I don't know how they can say that, and they are all heresies. Shu Chang took a bite of his sugar gourd, and continued, "It still feels comfortable to have a temple fair like this, eating, drinking, and having fun." ”

"You're in a good mood, aren't you?" Xia Zewu patted Shu Chang's head gently, and ate a fried enema very beautifully, the garlic flavor was really rushing, but looking at Xia Zewu's enjoyment, he knew that he was really good. "Well, this garlic juice doesn't taste very good, it's not as good as what I ate when I was a kid. Tut-tut, don't look at me like that, it's cold and snowy, it's still good to eat some garlic. Hmm, do you want to suggest to my sister-in-law to make garlic-filled dumplings to eat at night?"

"Absolutely not!" several children refused in unison, and there was no room to turn around.

"Stinky boy, it's good to eat some, and you can pick and choose!" Xia Zewu patted the heads of the three children, one of them, "Don't worry, I'm just talking casually, my brother and I have injuries, so we shouldn't eat too much heat/sex/food." Tut-tut, speaking of which, the temple fairs now are much better than when we were children, and many time-honored brands have come to set up stalls, and you can buy whatever you want. You know, at that time, there were only a few things to eat at the temple fair, and it was messy, and it was not particularly easy to eat some fine snacks, such as mung bean cake and the like. He turned around and glanced at the old people who were wandering slowly behind him, "When I was young, I liked to eat dim sum very much, my brother didn't like it, but every time he took advantage of my dad and third uncle not paying attention, he stole their dim sum for me to eat, and every time he could get his hands on it, he wouldn't show the stuffing, it is estimated that until now, my dad and third uncle think that they ate it themselves, and they don't remember." ”

"It's not that I don't remember, but I don't care. "Bai Zhongqiu doesn't like sweet and greasy sugar gourds very much, and he barely eats a few and stuffs them for Shu Chang, this kid has liked hawthorn since he was a child, if it weren't for the people at home who stopped him from eating more, it is estimated that he doesn't even eat every day, and he can eat enough sugar gourds. Throwing the burden in his hand to his nephew, Bai Zhongqiu glanced at Xia Zewu who was full of doubts, "The second grandfather and the third grandfather are not like you, they understand it in their hearts! A few pieces of dim sum, and they don't like it, why don't they make their sons and nephews happy?" Seeing Xia Zewu, who was a little stupid and dizzy, Bai Zhongqiu shook his head, this EQ is really hopeless!

Xia and Shu Chang glanced at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, Xia Zewu is a quick response to medical skills, and other aspects are a little cute, otherwise, he can't always be wiped out by a few unreliable brothers above, every time he assigns a task, it is always his turn to take care of the children, fortunately he likes to be with children, and fortunately, Lord Lele doesn't need him to bring it, otherwise, he cries!

Xia Zewu is a heartless and arrogant person, and he has never been very serious about the problems he can't figure out, anyway, it has been many years since this "stealing snacks", and now it's too late to think about it, so he just threw it aside and didn't care about it, pretending that this incident had never happened.

Just as he finished nibbling on a plate of fried enema, threw away the plate in his hand, and searched for which stall he was about to start, he heard a chaotic and flustered footsteps behind him, accompanied by a shout of "Catch the thief!"

"Thief?" Xia Xia, who was discussing with Bai Zhongqiu and Shu Chang whether to eat fish skin dumplings or haggis soup, heard this roar, and his first reaction was to sigh, "Among us people, there must be one of us who has a calamity physique." Every time I go out to play or eat, I will catch up with strange things, and I finally go to a temple fair, and I also catch up with ......"

The word "thief" in the summer has not yet been spoken, and it feels like there is a sneaky paw moving his bag, maybe it is an instinctive reaction, and the summer turned around and gave a kick to the sneaky guy behind, when it was kicked on the chin of the thief behind, I don't know, is it because it has snowed too much recently to go out and spread wild, and can only practice kung fu at home. Not to mention the collision with another thief who came rushing hard, when everyone went to check the situation, they found that this thief's jaw was kicked crooked by him.

"So brave!" Shu Chang looked at the thief who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and blinked his eyes vigorously, "Ji Ji, your skills have increased greatly!"

"Yes, there is progress!" Bai Zhongqiu and Old Man Shu glanced at each other, and the two of them nodded with satisfaction.

"Ji Ji!" Seeing this step, the second child of the Bai family leaned over and patted Xia Xia's shoulder, "If you have time to make a move, let's talk about it!"

Surrounded by everyone, the summer is a little crying and laughing, are you wrong about the point, the two lying on the ground are the central characters, shouldn't we discuss what to do with these two goods?

"It seems that ......" Xia Zewen quietly came to Summer's side, and said faintly, "The legendary calamity physique really exists!"

Xia Xia turned his head, glanced at Xia Zewen silently, and sighed softly, being mistaken for a calamity physique or something, it's really annoying, I want to drink an extra bowl of mutton soup to vent in a while! 166 Reading Network
