Along the way, Yang Zizhen, Yang Zishe, Chang Shuyu, and Yang Zilong, the second son of the second uncle, all followed Yang Zijian, giggling and fighting, as if they were on an outing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yang Zi built the child king, told them some ancestral deeds, in order to make them listen, he smiled: "Ancestor Yang Shi was smart and studious since he was a child, and he could write poems at the age of eight. But he is a historical celebrity who 'doesn't work hard' and likes to 'desert'. After he was admitted to the civil service, the government arranged for him to work in Tingzhou, but he pretended to be sick and did not go to work, hiding at home to study science. A few years later, the government arranged for him to work in Xuzhou, but he did not go to work and went to Luoyang to worship Cheng Hao, a university scholar...... Yang Shi integrated the science of the north, and then spread it to the south, forming Min Studies, and he was the originator of Min Studies. When he started working, he was very strict and responsible, and he was not afraid of offending people, he dared to fight against Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and he also supported the famous minister Li Gang to fight against the Jin ......"

A few little ghosts listened to it with relish, and even the adults next to them couldn't help but listen attentively.

Most of the content of Yang Zijian's lectures comes from the History of the Song Dynasty, the Chronicles of Nanjian Mansion and the Chronicles of Nantang Town, but he adds some of his personal understanding.

After walking for half an hour, I finally arrived at Qiyou Hall.

Qiyou Hall is completely preserved because it is used as a forest farm warehouse, with an area of more than 500 square meters, there is a viewing platform in front, surrounded by marble railings, and on the left side is a half-acre square pond, which still grows some lotus flowers, but more weeds.

This is a palace-like building with a symmetrical central axis, magnificent and magnificent, solemn and solemn, with left and right wings, patio corridors, and thick and simple columns.

Surrounded by several old people and a bunch of adults such as Yang's father and second uncle, Yang Zijian walked into the door, and the first thing that caught his eye was a plaque with white characters on a black background, which read:

"Innocent heirloom."

On the doorposts on both sides, a pair of couplets are engraved:

Sven has been on the line for 3,000 years,

I came to the first place in the south.

The plaques and couplets all reflect the cultural achievements and historical heritage of the Yang family, which are thick and deep, which makes people solemn and proud.

On the altar in the middle of the lobby, there is a black marble spirit tablet erected, which is engraved with the spirit seat of Yang Guishan in Yang Shi.

There is a beautiful couplet carved on the left and right pillar mountains:

Zhilanxiu winds around the smoke room,

Huai Guixiang welcomes the Tufeng people.

Above the altar hangs a plaque of "Kaiyou Hall".

There are eight murals on both sides, painted with ink painting "Chengmen Lixue", "Science Goes South", "Flood Control", "Wisdom Fighting Cai Jing" and so on. When Yang Shi was alive, he educated his children and grandchildren to be thrifty to cultivate virtue, and after his death, Xiao Ran was behind him, and his family stood on the wall, but only two hundred years, one of Nantang became a big landlord and a big gentry.

There are also six small sacrificial halls on the left and right, which are used to display the spiritual seats of the celebrities of the Yang family in Nantang.

Because it is a family sacrifice, as long as it is a close relative of the old Yang family, or a relative who has been attached to the old Yang family, they can come to worship together, in fact, it is the uncle, uncle and other relatives, before the liberation are also the descendants of the Yang family, as well as the ancestors of Grandpa Chang, more than 600 years ago, the Yang family bought it from which person Yazi settled in Nantang, and it has long been accustomed to regard the Yang family as their own home.

After the liberation, all those rituals and religions were abolished, men and women were equal, and they could worship in the same hall, which showed the progress of the times, and the older generation was also adapting.

Yang Zijian looked at these and felt a little heavy, as the sacrifices were placed one by one, he completed various rituals according to the requirements of his uncle and grandfather Chang, respectfully kowtowing, putting on candles, and offering incense.

Representatives of two main houses and three sub-rooms, relatives and family members, worship ancestors according to the order of generation and age.

What made Yang Zijian laugh the most was the stack of newspapers on the desk - I don't know if the ancestors recognized simplified characters and punctuation marks, and whether they were used to reading texts horizontally...... The time and space of modern and ancient times are intertwined, and the heavy sense of history that used to press on his head has disappeared unconsciously.

After worshipping my ancestors, when I returned home, it was already half past four.

Yang Zijian followed Yang Zishe and Yang Zilong to take a good bath under the wind and rain bridge, he floated on the water surface of Tangxi, looking at the white clouds, feeling indescribably happy.

At half past six, Lan Hong's brothers and sisters, Zhang Hua, Liu Decheng, and Miao Guanghui came over together and asked Yang Zijian to enter the city.

Yang Zijian said goodbye to his parents and younger siblings, put on his travel bag, took the manuscripts he had written in the past two days, and went to the small railway station in Nantang Town with his classmates.

On the platform, Liu Deqing still acts as a member of the life committee, collects the money, and queues up for everyone to buy tickets like an old scalper, Lan Hong and Zhang Hua discuss the things in the class, these two top students are the class leaders of class (4) and class (7), but the management style is not the same, Zhang Hua is outgoing, enthusiastic and aggressive, while Lan Hong is gentle and hides needles in the cotton.

Yang Zijian wore a loose school uniform and walked leisurely to the edge of the flower garden to watch the blue snow of the camellias.

She is still wearing an aqua blue dress, pure white cotton stockings and flatform shoes look very fashionable, although she is only thirteen years old and petite, she has already shown a slender figure, exuding an elegant and fresh temperament.

"Hey, Blue Snow."

"Hello, Yang Zijian." Lan Xue's expression was detached, and she smiled politely, "I thought you would come to visit my house in the afternoon." ”

"I'm very sorry that my family has something important to delay." Yang Zijian helplessly spread his hands and complained, "Because I published some articles, the elders forced me to worship my ancestors, or to be the main priest, and led more than 50 people to kneel down collectively, and presented my sample paper sacrifice to my ancestors, and I was busy all afternoon." ”

Lan Xue said incredulously: "You still have such a thing as a collective ancestor worship? Are you still a family? ”

The Lan family is a southbound cadre and does not understand some of the traditional customs of this long-established family.

Yang Zijian shook his head and said, "It's not been for a long time." Before liberation, the Yang family was a big family. However, after the land reform, all the land and sacrificial fields were returned to the public, and the clan elders lost the economic means to control the clansmen. However, the common blood relationship and common ancestors will also allow us to maintain some traditional customs, and ancestor worship is one of them. ”

Lan Xue bowed her head and said, "So that's the case." ”

"If I can come back next week, I will definitely go to your house to borrow books."

Lan Xue smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay! ”

Yang Zijian said: "Actually, I also like Bai Yang, "Outline of the History of the Chinese", "Ugly Chinese", etc., I have read several articles in the magazines of the First Middle School Library. In particular, "Ugly Chinese" seems to be written for a conservative and backward place like Nantang Town, which likes to fight in the nest, dirty, chaotic, noisy, unable to unite, die without admitting mistakes, selfish and disregard for others, disorderly, and will not say 'sorry, thank you, it's okay' and so on. ”

"You're so right!" When Lan Xue heard this, she immediately turned her anger into joy.
