Chapter 456: The Return of Luo Sisi (2)
Luo Sisi ignored Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen's doubts, but continued:
"Now, in the process of all-round contact, exchange and collision between Chinese and Western civilizations, there are many things that interfere with our value judgments, so that the flowers are becoming more and more charming, uncertain, and uncontrollable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info There was a president named Nixon in the United States, and in the 80s of the last century, he published a book called "1999, Victory Without a Fight", which was very famous. He says this sentence in the last part of the book: 'When the day comes when the young people of China no longer believe in the teachings of their ancestors and their traditional culture, we Americans will win without a fight.'" ā
"The green pines are tall and beautiful, and the flowers are delicate and beautiful. Western civilization and Chinese civilization are two flowers blooming, each with its own characteristics. We can't favor one over the other, and we can't ignore one over the other. We are Chinese, and the way we express our beliefs is different from others. So we should live in our own faith.
"This pair of chopsticks is not only a tableware for eating, but also carries a lot of traditional Chinese culture and condenses the wisdom of many predecessors. As every Chinese, this tradition cannot be abolished and will continue to be carried forward. ā
After Luo Sisi finished speaking, Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen were still in the clouds, the two glanced at each other, I don't know what Luo Sisi wants to express?
Seeing that Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen didn't speak, Luo Sisi smiled and said, "Brother, Sister Wenwen, I'll leave my brother to come down and talk, brother won't say it, I'll say it alone, brother, you will become an audience." So let's tell a joke by ourselves, and then we'll talk about something else. ā
Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen both nodded.
Seeing that Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen nodded, Luo Sisi said with a smile: "Brother, Sister Wenwen, I'll talk about one first, and throw bricks and lead jade." ā
Luo Sisi also didn't allow Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen to agree, so he spoke:
A father and son saw a very luxurious imported car.
The son said to his father with disdain: "A person who sits in such a car must have no knowledge in his stomach!"
The father replied lightly: "Whoever says such things must have no money in his pocket!"
Does your outlook on things also reflect your true inner attitude?
After Luo Sisi finished speaking, Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen didn't laugh much, but Luo Sisi laughed herself, and then she said: "Brother, Sister Wenwen, it's your turn, which of you will speak first?"
Tian Limai looked at Jiang Wenwen and said, "Wenwen, I'll talk first." ā
Jiang Wenwen nodded. Tian Limai said:
After dinner, the mother and daughter wash the dishes together, and the father and son watch TV in the living room.
Suddenly, there was a sound of broken plates in the kitchen.
The son looked at his father and said, "Mother must have broken it." ā
"How do you know?"
"She didn't curse. ā
After Tian Limai finished speaking, Jiang Wenwen smiled and said, "My may not be a joke." ā
"Sister Wenwen, just tell it and listen to it. Roth said.
Jiang Wenwen looked at Tian Limai and said:
There were two Taiwanese sightseeing groups traveling to the Izu Peninsula, and the road conditions were very bad and full of potholes.
A tour guide repeatedly said that the road surface was like pockmarks.
Another guide, on the other hand, poetically said to the tourists, "We are now walking on the famous Izu Charming Dimple Avenue." ā
Although it is the same situation, different thoughts will produce different attitudes. What a wonderful thing thinking is, and how to think about it is up to you to decide.
After Jiang Wenwen finished speaking, Tian Limai and Luo Sisi did not laugh.
At this time, Uncle Luo sent his master Qin Laosan and his mother to come back. When he saw the three of them talking, he asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Dad, you came back just in time, we are talking, we have already talked about 'scale culture' and 'chopsticks culture' earlier, please come and talk to us about 'wine culture'. Roth said.
"Sisi, you have found the right person on this topic, not only do I have a drink from time to time, but I also know a little about the Tujia wine culture in Huolongping. Say, what aspect of wine culture do you want me to talk about?" Uncle Luo sat down and said.
"Dad, whatever you want!" Roth said.
Uncle Luo smiled and said: "This wine culture has a long history in our Huolongping, and we Huolongping people generally drink like this: bowl by bowl. Drinking a bowl of wine and breaking a bowl, dozens or hundreds of people drinking together and breaking the bowl together. Of course, sometimes I drink like this: one jar after another, a few small bamboo pipes are inserted into the wine jar, and several people use small bamboo pipes to 'speak' together, and the horn is to suck. People lined up round after round 'horn'. Sometimes I drink it like this: rows of hot pots, in the steaming fragrance, holding wine glasses, sipping wine. Huolongping people may have lived in the remote mountains for a long time, and the way of drinking is mysterious and weird, which has a unique charm.
"If there is a red and white wedding in any cottage, there will be such a lively scene: hundreds, or even thousands of people, gathered together, holding clay bowls, drinking them all, in the shouts of 'falling', one by one the earthen bowls fell to the ground, with the sound of 'popping', cheering, fragments all over the ground, cheers. This is the lively scene of our Huolongping's famous drinking Tujia bowl wine. So, why do the Tujia people in Huolongping drink like this?
"That's a long story. Uncle Luo paused.
Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen became more and more interested in listening, in the past, although the two of them had seen those scenes, they had never thought about it, why did this Huolongping person drink like this!
"Uncle Luo, tell me about it!" Tian Limai said.
"Brother, aren't you going to learn to sing mountain folk songs with your master? Luo Sisi said with a smile.
"Mountain folk songs, you can learn them at any time, and I listened to Uncle Luo talk about the wine culture of Huolongping. Tian Limai said with a smile.
Uncle Luo smiled and continued:
Huolongping was historically part of the ancient Ba country, and the Tujia people claimed to be descendants of the Ba people. According to Chang Xuan's "Huayang National Chronicles" of the Jin Dynasty, it was recorded that in the Ji Dynasty of Zhou, the country of Pakistan was in turmoil. The general Manzi invited Yu Chu to learn from Yu and promised three cities. The king of Chu saved Ba, the country of Ba was Ning, and Chu asked for the city. Manzi said: "From the spirit of Chu, overcome the disaster, sincerely promise the city of Chu, thank you with my head, the city cannot be obtained!"
That day, General Ba Manzi set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of Chu, the banquet began, General Ba Manzi took off his shirt, picked up a jar of rice wine shirtless, poured it into three large bowls, drank it all, and then smashed three wine bowls heavily, the people at the table were stunned by General Ba Manzi's actions, and did not know how he responded to the envoy of Chu. However, the territory of Pakistan is indivisible, and how can a minister privately cut off a city. I'd rather die to thank you for breaking my word. Please ask the envoy of the state of Chu to bring my head back to the state of Chu and tell your king: I will exchange my head for the city. After speaking, he raised his sword and cut his neck, and his head fell to the ground. The audience was shocked, and the audience was dumbfounded and respected.
"The Tujia people regard their ancestor Ba Manzi as a national model of righteousness, sincerity and faith, and saving the country and the people. In order to commemorate and cherish the memory of Ba Manzi to protect the country with his body, he threw a bowl to kill himself, and used to drink a bowl of wine to commemorate General Manzi, the national hero of the Tujia family. For thousands of years, the Tujia people have used the earthen bowl to drink wine, and after drinking, they broke the earthen bowl, remembering the ancestors of the Tujia family in drinking, inheriting the spirit of the Tujia people, and interpreting the character of the Tujia people. ā
After Uncle Luo finished telling this history, he said: "This is the origin of the bowl of wine. Of course, it has now spread in our Wuling. ā
Tian Limai nodded, looked at Jiang Wenwen and said, "Wenwen, we can consider setting up such a tavern halfway from the Hundred Bamboo Forest to the Shangsi Tai!"
Jiang Wenwen said: "Mai, isn't the design in progress now? You can put forward your ideas. ā
Uncle Luo said, "Tian Limai, this idea of yours is good. Today, the Tujia bowl wine in Huolongping has become a folk cultural wine ceremony. You can use it as a cultural experience product in a large-scale cultural catering store, and inject ethnic song and dance performances, dine happily in singing and dancing, and add folk entertainment experience to tourists and guests from outside the mountain. ā
Uncle Luo looked at Jiang Wenwen at this point, and then said: "As a regional folk wine cultural phenomenon, bowl wine will be deeply loved by people outside the mountain. Drinking a bowl of wine, the dishes are not important, the drinker experiences the heroic aura, and what he gets is the bold infection of the mountains and seas. Because the excitement aroused by ethanol in drinking is highly consistent with the stimulation of falling bowls, the drinkers become more and more bold with the stimulation of alcohol, and the more they fall, the more energetic they become. Tian Limai, Jiang Wenwen, you think about that kind of scene is a little exciting.
"The Tujia people are so full of pride and sorrow to drop three bowls, they are happy and sad to fall three bowls, they are affectionate and willing to drop three bowls, their buddies are classmates to fall three bowls, their right guest lover falls three bowls, they fall out of the world wide, they fall out of that bold and boundless love, they fall out of that happy like a fairy, and they fall out of that reluctant to intoxicate the world. ā
Uncle Luo may have drunk a little wine and was a little excited, but when he said that, he actually stood up.
Tian Limai smiled and asked Luo Sisi: "Luo Sisi, what kind of work is Uncle Luo doing outside?"
"Brother, I was the deputy director of a cultural company, and now I have resigned and come back!" Roth replied.
Tian Limai glanced at Jiang Wenwen and nodded. Uncle Luo then said:
"Tian Limai, Jiang Wenwen, Huolongping also has a wine culture, that is, when there is an occasional gathering or reunion, several or dozens of people use bamboo pipes, flower stalks, wheat stalks or vine branches to suck wine in a wine jar, this way of drinking is called drinking 'smacking wine'. Drinking smacking wine is also the inheritance of the ancient Ba people's way of drinking. Yang Shen, a famous writer in the Ming Dynasty, interpreted smacking wine in this way: "Take the reed as a tube, suck and drink, a hook vine wine, that is, today's smacking wine". When Bai Juyi was the assassin of Zhongzhou, he often drank Ba people's wine, and he wrote the poem "The Spring Banquet in the County for Giving Guests": "The lavender mat is spread on the seat, and the vine branches are poured into the wine bottle,...... The sound of the drums is Kankan, and the Ba girl dances and squats'. Tongzhi "Xianfeng County Chronicles" contains: "The folk custom is to boil sorghum in the urn at the beginning of winter, and in the summer of the following year, pour hot water, insert a bamboo pipe in the mouth of the urn, and the guests will suck the wine." From these historical records, it can be seen that the smacking wine is made of local corn, sorghum and corn, and the pottery wine jar is used as the wine vessel and sealed and aged for more than a year.
"Drinking wine is a festive wine for Tujia people to celebrate festivals, handle happy events, and welcome VIPs, and it is also a ritual wine used for sacrifices and wars, and it is also a home drink that must be inseparable from the daily life of our Tujia people in Huolongping. The biggest feature of drinking smacking wine is that it is convenient to drink and cheerful in form, and while enjoying fine wine, you can enjoy joy and equality. Several jars, dozens of jars of wine on the table or the side of the road, a few, dozens, hundreds of straws, a few, dozens, hundreds of mouths, accompanied by singing and dancing, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, around the wine altar heartily inhaled the same horn, with the stimulation of wine and alcohol, the scene of that magnificent crowd surging, joyful, must be festive and jubilant, such a festive smacking wine is really intoxicating and drunk scene; Passionate and unrestrained, such a magnificent smacking wine must be a passionate and unrestrained love of wine; that grand and that scene is exhausted, tactful and long, it must be the sound of sucking and whispering that evokes infinite sorrow, and such a sacrificial smacking wine must be lovesick and sorrowful.
"Xianfeng County Chronicles" recorded a poem by Longtan in the Qing Dynasty to appease the Sitian family, praising the smacking wine like this: 'Ten thousand pearls are a total of one ou, and the princes also bow their heads here. The five dragons held the cane, sucking up the water of the Yangtze River and flowing backwards'. Li Huanchun of the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem of bamboo branches and praised the wine like this: "A pot of glutinous rice is newly boiled with wine, and the sucking can win the blue tube? Smacking wine from the scene of festivals and battles to drink, today it has retreated from the scene of wine in the folk family, occasionally the old man with a wine pot to warm wine, beside the stove to suck with a tube.
"In the past, Huolongping drinking not only had a grand scene, rough and heroic, accompanied by singing and dancing, novel and unique 'scene wine', but also slow, leisurely, nourishing and sweet, prolonging life, curing diseases and detoxifying family health fruit wine and medicinal wine, Huolongping Tujia called 'drinking small wine'. 'Drinking small wine' has a long history in Enshi Tujia and is still popular today.
"The Tujia people are very particular about 'drinking small wine'. Healthy people, especially when the farm is busy, Chinese food, dinner, fried a few plates of peanuts, dried chili, fried a few side dishes, slowly drink one or two taels of 'small wine', drink the body hot compress warm, eliminate fatigue, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, that comfortable and comfortable itself is a little drunk. Women and young men who drink a lot of alcohol often drink homemade bayberry wine, mead, kiwi wine and other nutritious wines to have fun and drink moisturizing redness. The most famous health wine of the Tujia people in Enshi is to drink the medicinal wine of the Tujia and Miao families. Li Shizhen said: "Wine, the beauty of the sky." If you drink less, you will be in harmony with your blood, strengthen your spirits against the cold, and dispel your sorrows.'"
