The Chinese temple fair originated from the suburban system of the temple community in ancient times - sacrifice, so it naturally has a long history, the temple fair is once a year, some have several days in a month, and the meeting period is not fixed, there are also indefinite days.

For example, the meeting period at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China: every month, every nine, ten, one, and two are the Chenghuang Temple, every three are the Land Temple, every five and six are Jing'an Temple, and every seven and eight are Bao'en Temple. In addition, the Longhua Temple and the Jade Buddha Temple that open the temple on the first day of the first month, generally open the temple for ten days to half a month, the opening of the Yu Garden on the second day of the first month, and the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival Daguan Garden, are all good places to relax.

Nowadays, there are temple fairs in Shanghai every day during the Chinese New Year, and there is more than one place every day, and such a grand occasion will basically continue until after the Lantern Festival.

The City God Temple Temple Fair is a must-visit place for the people of Shanghai for the New Year, and before the opening of the port of Shanghai, the City God Temple was the only place for the people of Shanghai to play. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Shanghai City God Temple has been integrated with the surrounding Yu Garden, markets and old streets and alleys, and has become synonymous with a region. It represents the history and tradition of Shanghai. Over the years, the temple fair culture developed by the temple market has almost included all aspects of the material and spiritual life of the people, such as religion, commerce, and folk customs, and it can be said that it has become a business card of Shanghai.

Su Yuxi was still fully armed, wearing a black Givenchy devil's corner baseball cap, a gray loose sweater with black pantyhose and a pair of over-the-knee boots, because it was warmer in the car, so she put a long black tweed coat and mask on her lap.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned right along Renmin Road to Lishui Road and found a very good location of the underground garage, because there were many people who came to visit the temple fair on the first day of the new year, so the queue lasted more than ten or twenty minutes before driving the car into the parking lot, fortunately, Su Yuxi brought a copy of "Philosophy is a tool of physics" to read in the car, so he was not bored.

Waiting for Cheng Xiaoyu to park the car, the uncle who commanded the parking saw that Cheng Xiaoyu's car was very high-end, and deliberately took a few red and white rubber road cones to separate Raventon, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and thanked him, Su Yuxi put on a mask and a coat, and the two took the elevator directly to Fuyou Road.

Although it was only the first day of the temple fair, it was still the first day of the Lunar New Year, but the streets were already full of people and lively. Because there are many folk activities that are highly ornamental, there are also many tourists from other places.

The two finally walked to the City God Temple and saw a huge statue of the Jade Rabbit welcoming spring hanging in front of the archway.

Su Yuxi and Cheng Xiaoyu walked side by side, the two of them were very close, shoulder to shoulder, although the winter sun on the face did not make people feel warm, but everywhere there were colorful windmills turning with the wind, and the ears were full of festive drums.

The breeze is quiet and gorgeous, and the scene is brilliant even in the daytime. If it is at night, it will probably be the prosperous years of "seeing the endless iron cable star bridge, and not seeing the lights and fireworks".

The further they went, the more turbulent the flow of people became, and the two were almost separated, so Su Yuxi took the initiative to hold Cheng Xiaoyu's arm, although Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi are brother and sister, the time between the two is not short, because the work relationship also often meets, so sometimes Cheng Xiaoyu will also have a very close relationship between himself and this sister. But often the second goodbye, Cheng Xiaoyu will feel that yesterday's intimacy is just an illusion.

When Su Yuxi's temperature is very close to herself, Cheng Xiaoyu also knows that such a situation is just the daily life of ordinary brothers and sisters, but Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi are not ordinary brothers and sisters after all, for Cheng Xiaoyu, Su Yuxi's special thing is that every time they get along, they have a sense of freshness when they first meet, and the two of them have a kind of mystery that is difficult to touch for each other, so this kind of relationship always amazes Cheng Xiaoyu.

Su Yuxi saw that Cheng Xiaoyu was full of interest in all kinds of small objects, and there were folk artists everywhere who were also performing their own unique skills, such as candy blowers, dough kneaders, straw weaving, rope weaving, tiger shoes, mud gooing, etc., all of which made Cheng Xiaoyu look at it with relish.

Su Yuxi couldn't help but say, "These are not magical, right?" You can buy a lot of things everywhere, and besides, you haven't seen you buy the same thing after watching it for a long time, what's the point? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are very wrong to think so, because you don't understand the essence of visiting the temple fair at all." The fun of visiting the temple fair is all in one word, just like the fun of the Lantern Festival, all in one word. You don't have to buy anything, you just have to follow the flow of people, slowly start from the end of the stall that you can't see at a glance, and it's fun to look at it as you go. ”

At this moment, there is a couple beside them, who are close to the age of confusion, and they are carefully bargaining with the stall owner for a piece of jade Guanyin.

There is a little girl next door who is in the prime of her cardamom years, carefully supporting the gray-haired grandmother to pass by them, patiently explaining to the old man one after another the so-called "high technology" that the old man has never used or seen at that age.

There is also a happy family of three, the child is less than a year old, the husband is carefully holding the child, and the wife is buying a rattle and making the little guy laugh, such an ordinary scene has a thousand kinds of tenderness that makes people intoxicated.

There are also sunny little couples who also secretly ran out on the first day of the Lunar New Year to date, they held hands and I and me, and the girl was holding a string of sugar gourds in her hand, and was feeding the boy a sweet and sour hawthorn wrapped in honey.

Su Yuxi said, "Ordinary happiness is easy to come by, but an ordinary person may be swallowed up by the great waves of life at any time." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "In fact, each of our lives is a world, even an ordinary person has to fight for the world he lives in." In this sense, in fact, in the ordinary world, there is no day of peace. It's just a return to life, and we really live these ordinary days, isn't it a kind of fulfillment? Most people don't see themselves as a speck of dust like those of us who like philosophy, and although the earth is just a speck of dust in the universe, for those of us who have short lives, the whole world is the one who depends on each other. ”

Su Yuxi didn't speak, she could feel that Cheng Xiaoyu was committed to changing the gap between herself and the world, she was actually a little happy with Cheng Xiaoyu's efforts, because most people think that such a genius Su Yuxi is normal and deserved, she should be different from ordinary people, but only Cheng Xiaoyu hopes that she can return to the ordinary and be an ordinary girl who can experience ordinary happiness. But Su Yuxi knows that in this world, not all reasonable and beautiful things can be stored or realized according to their own wishes. It's just that she didn't say it, this is a compromise she made to Cheng Xiaoyu. Even if it is a chess piece, Cheng Xiaoyu is also the most important one for her, as a chess player, the king also symbolizes victory and defeat, in essence, she and the king are one.

The two of them wandered in the temple fair full of earthly taste, in this flowing scenery, there is warmth, romance, mutual affection, respect for each other, there are young people like glue, there are those who have passed the year of the ear Shun and have gone through the vicissitudes of the world to see everything calmly and calmly, of course, there is also the inevitable helplessness and bitterness, struggle and confusion in life.

But this is an ordinary day, a real life. The air is filled with the smell of life, and the smell of the world wafts through the clamour. Compared with Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi's daily life, it is closer to life, closer to the truth in the world, and it is better to see the truest self of each mortal.

After a circle of temple fairs, even if the two of them didn't buy anything, the life of ordinary people also made them feel that they had gained a lot, and they could find their most suitable position in life in this seemingly ordinary but full of the great wisdom of life.

Of course, there are not only firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar here, but also piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops in spring and snow. Cheng Xiaoyu watched Su Yuxi pick and choose among the stacks of old books, and felt that this was an ordinary time, enriching his life.

When the two stood up, Cheng Xiaoyu unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance, Chang Yue.

Chen Long, who Chang Yue and Cheng Xiaoyu had a two-sided relationship, and two girls with extraordinary looks walked together and were also visiting the temple fair.

Chang Yue was also a little surprised when he saw Cheng Xiaoyu, and when he was still hesitating and not greeting Cheng Xiaoyu, Chen Long waved his hand at Cheng Xiaoyu first and shouted, "Cheng Xiaoyu." Chen Long was very impressed by this talented man with an ordinary appearance, eloquence, and full of women's popularity, so he opened his mouth without hesitation.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Su Yuxi beside him, but he was a little embarrassed, he said to Chang Yue first, "Happy New Year." Said "Happy New Year" to Chen Long and two beauties he didn't know again, although Chang Yue was uncomfortable with Cheng Xiaoyu's half-concealment of his identity, but who has no secrets and doesn't want others to touch the place? Chang Yue saw that Cheng Xiaoyu was smiling sincerely, and his face was ashamed, so he didn't care anymore, so he looked at Su Yuxi, who couldn't see his appearance with a mask, but had a wonderful figure and temperament, and asked with a smile, "Oops!" Monitor! The beauty next to this can't be your girlfriend, right? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know how to introduce it yet, and looked at Su Yuxi and didn't know what to do.

Su Yuxi grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's hand and nodded first: "Hmm!" My name is Zhou Chengxi, I am Xiaoyu's girlfriend, and I am still in my third year of high school. Usually Xiaoyu doesn't mess around at school, right? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu blushed and her heart beats.

Others were only slightly surprised that Cheng Xiaoyu actually had a girlfriend, and in their ears, they would naturally hear it: Zhou Chenxi.
