The sunny winter is not necessarily a good thing for the cities in the north, especially the imperial capital, where sandstorms often come in the past, and now it is a haze attack, although the governance of the environment over the years is quite effective, but if the weather is too dry, it is still uncomfortable, and they are used to living in the humid climate of the southern capital, and when Zhang Tianyuan returned to the north, he really couldn't adapt to it.

However, he is in a good mood today, and it has also snowed a lot in the imperial capital this year, and the sprinkler will be on the road almost every day, and the air is not bad.

Zhang Tianyuan drove the car, Nie Zhen sat in the back of the car and dozed off, and he didn't know what he came to Pan Jiayuan for, alas.

When he arrived at Panjiayuan, Zhang Tianyuan was surprised to find that there were ice cream sellers here, so he bought two and put one on Nie Zhen's face, which made Nie Zhen jump up from his sleep.

"Hahaha, Brother Nie, you call it self-inflicted, let me accompany you to do things, you fell asleep by yourself, this is not appropriate, hurry up and eat, eat ice cream in winter, this feeling is also very cool!"

"You kid, how old are you, you're still like a child, you have no words, yes, you're amazing. Nie Zhen took the ice cream and licked it, it tasted good, the feeling of eating ice cream in winter is different from that in summer, first of all, you don't have to worry about the ice cream melting too quickly.

After the two of them walked into Panjiayuan, they found that it was almost the New Year, but this place was still full of people and bustling, and it was not easy for these people, it is estimated that many people will not be able to return home for the New Year, so they can only make do with the New Year in the imperial capital.

"These people don't want to go home. Nie Zhen shook his head and said, "The money in this world can't be earned, so change me." I'm definitely going home for the New Year. ”

"I said Brother Nie, you are really a full man, but you don't know how hungry a man is hungry. You are a rich person, so you don't have to worry about the use of it. Yilai stretches out his hand to eat and open his mouth, and the money you spend in minutes may be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but those people have to work hard all year round for this money. They are not just for themselves, they are for their families, and for their children to be able to get out of the shadow of poverty in the future. Although Zhang Tianyuan is also a rich man now, he has experienced a poor life, so he naturally knows that it is not easy for ordinary people to make that little money. is busy day and night, and in the end it doesn't earn as much as a fraction of others.

Do you really think they don't want to go home for the New Year?

They also want to reunite with their families on Chinese New Year's Eve and have a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but they can't do it, thinking that their children's school will collect money again after the New Year, thinking that their wives (husbands) have not bought a few decent clothes, thinking that their children are about to get married, and the gift money has not been prepared enough, how can they settle down to celebrate the New Year?

Spring festival. New Year's Close!

For ordinary people, this is the case.

These people who set up stalls, don't look at their ability to speak well on weekdays, they are very set. But they have also been beaten, scolded, and insulted. In order to make money, they still endured these things and stayed. Then he smiled helplessly and continued to do what he had to do.

No way. People always have to live.

Let's just say that it snowed a few days ago, many people hide at home and don't want to come out, but these people have to come out to do business, even if there is a guest, they don't want to miss it, fortunately they have acquaintances, you can lend them a place to hide from the wind and snow, the snow is too big, just go to avoid it temporarily, if it is small, then directly open the umbrella to cover the rain, or set up a tarpaulin, rub your hands, shake your legs, resist the cold, and work hard for that little income.

Now that the sun is shining and the weather is getting warmer, for these people, it is a good day to do business, all the tents have been removed, these people are happily liberated from their worries, and their stalls are put out, so the originally silent Pan Jiayuan is active again.

Lively and noisy seem to have become the main theme here again.

Zhang Tianyuan admires these people very much, no matter how well these people sell, at least this spirit of not being afraid of the cold and heat is worthy of his praise twice.

Some people say that Pan Jiayuan is a black-hearted businessman who likes to cheat and cheat, and there is no need to come here to buy anything, this is an authentic place for people.

But Zhang Tianyuan has a different opinion, or many people he met said that Panjiayuan is a well-known antique trading market throughout the country and even the world, but today Zhang Tianyuan came here not for antiques, although the kind of dust and the vicissitudes of time won his heart, and it was easy to arouse his interest.

But this time, he came purely to help Nie Zhen, and then by the way, even if he couldn't buy anything, when he came to Panjiayuan, he could feel the atmosphere that he couldn't feel elsewhere.

Let's just say that the hard work and diligence of those hawkers made Zhang Tianyuan deeply insightful.

Walking on the crowded road, with a brick-red eaves roof on top of his head, the thousand-year-old history scroll around him slowly unfolded, and the time was staggered and mottled in a trance, as if he was in another world, Zhang Tianyuan was very satisfied with this aimless idleness, and he was not in a hurry to buy it.

Or rather, he didn't plan to buy anything right now.

For a man, going to the mall may be a very painful thing, shopping has always been straight to the destination, Zhang Tianyuan is usually like this, but when he comes to Panjiayuan, he is not so anxious, when he comes here, he prefers to feel the kind of excitement that is different from other places, different from the atmosphere of other places, so that he has a kind of comfort and release.

A glittering nautilus fossil might be a good choice, or an ink painting by the sea, a bronze beast with teeth and claws, a five-color shadow puppet, a jade pendant, a tree carving, and everything touches people's hearts.

Zhang Tianyuan likes a lot of things, but he didn't ask the price for a long time, because those things are not enough to make him tempted, and when he sees more good things, people will naturally be picky, which is no way.

Like love, Zhang Tianyuan likes that kind of eye-catching feeling.

A row of glazed dishes fell into his eyes.

It was a corner near the outside of the shed, and in the wave of white porcelain, small and colorful figures stood quietly. Many are stacked on top of each other and are extremely brightly colored. The pattern is very beautiful.

I don't know what it was originally used for, could it be a sacrificial vessel for lighting incense on the table? Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head. No matter what it is made of, it is not a good thing in short, this is for those who have no discernment, it is also a thing to buy back, and it can be used to put things, but for Zhang Tianyuan, it is just the only thing that can bring him a little surprise to pass by, and after seeing it, forget it.

"Huh. What are you doing over there, it looks very lively, and you actually set up a platform, I remember that there were a lot of vendors there before, and they were all driven away?" Zhang Tianyuan didn't find what he wanted, but he found something interesting.

Not more than a hundred meters away from him was a clearing that he remembered the last time he was here, it was crowded with vendors. But now there is no one left, there is only a construction team, as if they are doing something.

"Have you ever seen a martial arts ring?" Nie Zhen asked with a smile.

"I've seen it on TV, when Guo Daxia met Mu Nianci in the ring to recruit relatives. The ring is good, and the ring where Qin Qiong fights in the ring is all on TV. But it seems a little different from this one. Zhang Tianyuan said suspiciously.

"I didn't say it was just a ring. ”

"I said Brother Nie, don't sell it. It's the first time I've spent the New Year in the imperial capital, so I'm not familiar with the situation here. I don't want to build anything when I look at those platforms, after all, the platforms are too simple, and there is no fence around them, so I really can't see what they are for. ”

"Hehe, since you are so modest, then I will sue you, here during the New Year and the Lantern Festival, it is quite lively, it is the core location of the Panjiayuan temple fair, there are those who fight in the ring, there are also monkey plays, and there are singing, but presumably you should be more interested in antiques, antiques, calligraphy and painting, but there are many century-old shops in the old imperial capital will send craftsmen to show their real kung fu here, which is much more interesting than watching the Spring Festival Gala……”

"There is also a temple fair, that's interesting, there is also a temple fair in our hometown, every year in the past, the county town will step on stilts, Brush the dragon, that scene is called a lively, there were no cars in the past, not even motorcycles, there are very few bicycles, I remember that when I was a child, I was pulled by my father with a frame car to the county to see the temple fair, all the way are full of people, dense, simply terrible, but also very lively, I have always wanted to see it again, but unfortunately now the county is more lively than in the past, there are more people, there are more buildings, but there are no interesting things in the past, Panjiayuan this temple fair, I must come to see, definitely……”

Temple fairs, also known as "temple markets" or "festival fields". It is a folk religion of the Han nationality and the customs of the year, which is generally held in the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and other festivals.

It is also one of the forms of bazaar trade in our country, its formation and development are related to the religious activities of the temple, held on the festival or the specified date of the temple, and are mostly located in the temple and its vicinity, carrying out activities such as worshipping the gods, entertainment and shopping.

Temple fairs are popular in vast areas of the country.

However, with the acceleration of the pace of life today, the temple fairs in many places are gradually declining, but the temple fairs in the imperial capital seem to be there every year, and there are a lot of them.

In the imperial capital, the typical snacks, goods, and entertainment in the temple fair mainly include sugar gourds, belly bursts, windmills, rabbits, rings, and shooting. Later, with the development of the economy, snacks from all over the country were also incorporated into the temple fair. Snacks such as lamb kebabs and beef balls are also popular.

The performances include dry boats, Yangge, dragon and lion dances. Some temple fairs also have performances related to them, such as the performance of the emperor's sacrifice at the temple fair of the imperial capital Ditan, and the performance of the provincial relatives of Yuanchun at the temple fair of the imperial capital Daguanyuan.

During the Spring Festival, the number of visitors to the park is extremely large, and even hundreds of thousands of people a day. As for whether the temple fair will be reformed or not, and whether there will be no new projects, the organizers do not seem to be particularly concerned. Of course, there are also some temple fairs that have begun to carry out reform and innovation, mostly to show the customs of various ethnic groups.

"The temple fair in Panjiayuan is a bit of the scene of the old overpass, you must have seen it in the TV series, right?"

Zhang Tianyuan just doesn't know anything else, but he still knows the familiar names of the overpass and Bada Hutong in the imperial capital.

When it comes to the imperial capital, we have to mention the flyover.

"Wine flags play drum flyover city, how many tourists do not remember home".

This is a well-known poem left by Yi Shunding, a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, in "Tianqiao Song". (To be continued......)
