Zhang Zhaohua was still holding the wrench made of the horn of this Qiandahan, she stuffed all ten of her fingers into it and tried to wear it, but none of them could be worn, and even the thickest thumb was put into it There were many gaps, so she sighed and put the wrench into her color line box.

As soon as she put it away, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside: "Sister Hua, Sister Hua, go out and see the lights-"

She pushed open the door and said, "It's only now, the light market hasn't opened up yet, and the troupe won't come until Shenshi, what are you in a hurry!"

Fang Fang saw that she was wearing a new coat, so she smiled and said: "You look good, but if you wear it out today, you will definitely get dirty!" Saying that, she looked at Zhang Zhaohua's headdress and said in surprise: "Why don't you wear the spring flower you wore before, how beautiful that is!"

"What's so good," Zhang Zhaohua said angrily: "The soil is dead!" took this spring flower from the room and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Fangfang really liked it, and immediately put it on her head, and then the two went to the light market hand in hand.

The lantern market is located on the official road between Zhangchang and Lijia Village, and it is never allowed to block the official road in normal times, but since it is the Lantern Festival during the New Year, everyone is not afraid of violating the ban, and the place for a mile or two has become a market for selling food and playing, and there are already many people selling things along the way, in addition to lanterns, noodle people, and clay figures; there are all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers, firecrackers can be sold individually, but fireworks are sold in a shelf and a box; some fireworks boxes are piled up in five layers, hiding various colors, and there are also various names, such as " Grape trellises", "pearl curtains", "Changming Pagoda" and the like are all sold from the city.

The further back you go, all of them are selling snacks, including fried chestnuts, poria cakes, roast chicken, paws, and braised beef, mutton and donkey meat pushed by carts, etc., as well as selling sugar, zongzi, dough, lotus stalks, water chestnuts, melon seeds, Zhang Zhaohua and Fangfang didn't expect that there were still zongzi sellers, which looked quite fresh, so they each bought one to eat.

Fangfang ate fresh meat dumplings, Zhang Zhaohua asked for a sweet dumpling with red dates and red beans, both of them thought they were delicious and the other party's was not delicious, so they argued all the way.

"How much money did you get?" Fang Fang asked suddenly.

"A few pennies. Zhang Zhaohua usually gets a lot of change, so he doesn't care how much he can get for the New Year, but it is obvious that Fangfang and the others still care about the New Year's money, so they asked: "How much do you get?"

"I got a full fifteen wen," Fang Fang looked very happy: "There are also those who went to other people's houses to pay New Year's greetings, adding up to more than forty wen!"

Zhang Zhaohua and they walked out of the lamp market after a long walk, and walked to the land temple, saying that it was the land temple, but it was actually a very small shrine, but the villagers worshipped piety, and they had to worship when they came and went, and they also heard the grain chief say that they were going to raise funds to build a small temple next year, and it was a real temple, not such a shrine between square inches.

In addition to the lantern festival on Shangyuan Night tonight, the most important thing is the social drama and social festival.

The so-called community sacrifice is the worship of the god of the community, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, the community sacrifice is an important official and folk ceremony. There is a shrine altar in the palace, the etiquette is like the temple, there are large shrines and national shrines in the prefecture and county, and the small village households have become a small shrine - so who to worship, it is the earth that is sacrificed.

Sacrifice to the earth, but gradually with the sentence dragon, this is the beginning of the personification of the shrine god, after which all those who have merit to the people, can be established by the people as the community and the shrine god, this is the so-called "land god".

The so-called "society" does not refer to the society in the broad sense of the later generations, but the organization of various celebrations held by the folk worship shrine god on the day of the society - now the society of Yongcheng and the nearby ten miles and eight towns is led by the grain chief organization, which was formed in the city last year and in the countryside this year.

There are rules for the establishment of the society, and there are also rules for holding social festivals. For example, according to the regulations, the temple should be planted with trees, and there should be huge stones next to it, but there is no temple in such a small place, so the shrine of the land god can only be set up under the tree, and a small stone should be erected behind it.

Zhang Zhaohua and Fangfang walked over and bowed to everyone, and after a while, they heard the words in front of them: "The three animals are coming, get out of the way-" looked up, and there were indeed people carrying chickens, fish, and pigs over, this is the three animals that everyone paid for, and each family paid a penny of silver, because not only to buy these three animals, wine, fruit, incense and candles, but also to invite the city's troupe to perform.

There were more and more people, and it didn't take long for Zhang Zhaohua to feel that this side of the world seemed to be getting smaller, she and Fangfang jumped out of the crowd and stood on both sides of the official road to watch, in the crowding process, Zhang Zhaohua's new skirt was not touched, but Fangfang's old skirt was trampled on several times, so angry that she chattered all the way.

They were small, and they couldn't see it when they were blocked by the front, so Fangfang rolled up her skirt and climbed up the tree to look, and after a while, she shouted: "I saw the troupe coming, and I pressed a group of people!" But she immediately said: "Oh no, it's a villager!"

In the social drama, in addition to the troupe, there are also traditional repertoire of ten miles and eight townships, which are all entertained by the villagers themselves, such as sword dance, splitting forks, jumping stools, crossing the table, twisting Yangge, lion dance, etc., Fangfang saw the villagers who came over with tables and stilts.

Zhang Zhaohua was itchy by her, and wanted to go up the tree to take a look-but before she could touch the tree, she was caught by Wang, who saw through her mind at a glance, and taught her a lesson, and did not allow her to go up;

"Mother, what about Dad and Big Brother?" Zhang Zhaohua didn't see his father, nor did he see Zhang Chang and Zhang Sheng, so he asked strangely.

"I'm going to pick up the company," Zheng Shi, who was following Wang, came over, took out the sewing kit from the embroidery bag tied around his waist, and said, "You are in a hurry, you forgot to press the thread!"

There is also a custom in the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the embroidery needle and color thread are pinned on the clothes to suppress the ominous, of course, this custom has a different meaning since the Song Dynasty.

This is going to be said in the Northern Song Dynasty during the Shenzong period, there was a famous minister named Wang Shao, who had many heirs in the family, among which there was a thirteenth-ranked Wang Yu, who was the most enlightened. There is a Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of one year, and every family enjoys and plays all night, and they all come to the street to watch the lanterns and play. This Wang Shao's family is no exception, and the five-year-old Wang Yu was also carried by domestic servants to watch the lights on the street.

The servant of this family could still pay attention to the back at first when he looked at the lamp, and after a long time, he was dazzled, and suddenly found that the little yaman on his back had been lost, and he was immediately shocked, and went back to report that his family was looking for it in the lamp market.

But said where did this Wang Yu go, he was picked up by the eunuch who came out of the palace to enjoy the lantern, and took him back to the palace, saying to Shenzong that it was "a good omen for getting a child", and Shenzong ordered it to be brought up when he heard it, and it was really a very cute golden boy of Yuxue, and he was not afraid to see him.

When asked again that it was the youngest son of the minister Wang Shao's family, Shenzong was very strange, so he asked why he came to the palace - the child said unhurriedly: "Just because last night the Lantern Festival was watched by the family to watch the lanterns, to pay homage to the holy face, and in the chaos, the thieves stole the back and walked forward." When I saw the car in the house, I had to call for help. The thief escaped, and the minister came here with the nobleman, and it was a great fortune to see the face of the sky. ”

Shenzong ordered people to look for the thief, and the Lantern Festival night crowd was afraid that he could not find it, but Wang Yu was confident that he would definitely be able to find it, because when he was stolen by the thief, he took off the beaded hat of the headband and hid it. The top of the beaded hat was worn by his mother's embroidered needle and colored thread, which was meant to be ominous. But Wang Yu took off the needle and thread when he removed the hat, sewed a thread on the collar of the thief, and inserted the needle in the garment, thinking that it was a secret signal. He said that if he went to look for someone and saw a colored thread on his collar, it must be the thief who stole him last night.

With this, the thief was found, and the story of Wang Yu being lost and miraculously found has also been passed to the present, so every household has a needle and thread on the night of Shangyuan, in addition to disgusting the ominous, there is also the meaning that the lost child can be found in it.

Zhang Zhaohua's needlework was just done, when he heard Fangfang on the tree shouting: "See it clearly this time! It's the troupe coming——"
