In addition, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xinyang people are not like outsiders who like to visit relatives and friends to eat moon cakes, but are more enthusiastic about the traditional festival activities belonging to the Xinyang area - Mid-Autumn Festival cakes.
Mid-Autumn Festival cakes, also called Mid-Autumn Festival cakes. According to legend, it originated from the invention of a famous general and the king of Nanping County in a certain dynasty five hundred years ago.
At that time, the general led an army that obeyed his orders and operated in the area of today's Xinyang City, in order to overthrow the **** and restore Youen and his former dynasty.
The year of the uprising coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, because most of the subordinates were northerners, so many soldiers began to miss their hometown and relatives when they saw the bright moon overhead. All of a sudden, people's minds changed and the army's morale was unstable.
The king of Nanping County has led the troops for many years, and of course he suddenly noticed the change in the atmosphere in the barracks. He sent someone to investigate secretly and found that it was caused by the soldiers missing their hometown too much. Therefore, in order to soothe the nostalgia of the soldiers, motivate and boost morale, so that the soldiers can have something to do at hand, instead of spending time on missing, the king of Nanping County came up with an activity on a whim.
This idea is the Mid-Autumn Festival Bo cake.
Mid-Autumn Festival Cake is an event where six dice are rolled to determine the prize of the participants. According to the court rules of the previous dynasty, that is, he was named the king of Nanping County, the king of Nanping County decided that the traditional prizes for this event would be moon cakes of different sizes, for a total of one meeting. There are 1 champion, 2 opposites, 4 three reds, 8 four in, 16 two lifts, and 32 one show. There will be 63 pieces of bread in large and small, containing the number of seventy, nine, sixty-three, which is an auspicious number.
The reason why there are 63 moon cakes in a meeting is because ninety-nine eighty-one is the number of the Son of Heaven, and **seventy-two is the number of princes, and this Anti-Japanese War general was named the king of Nanping County for his merits, so the number of county kings is sixty-three.
Soon, the Mid-Autumn Festival cake activity made all the soldiers no longer miss their hometown and relatives so much on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but put their minds into how to win bigger prizes with six dice. The crisis that endangered the entire cause of the uprising was thus eliminated by the king of Nanping County in the cheerful Mid-Autumn Festival cake event.
After the death of the king of Nanping in battle, the original resistance movement gradually dissipated because of the death of the main backbone and the surrender of the new government that inherited the previous dynasty.
However, the Mid-Autumn Festival cake activity invented by the king of Nanping County has not been annihilated in history, but has been passed down from generation to generation, and is still very popular in Xinyang City today.
It's just that last year, because there was a short-sighted deputy mayor of Xinyang City, who participated in a certain political event, resulting in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the officialdom atmosphere of the entire Xinyang City was very serious, and even the annual Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was canceled and not held, which also made many institutions and businesses in Xinyang City think about it, and they all suspended last year's Mid-Autumn Festival cake activities.
Experimental middle schools are no exception.
Of course, Principal Du Yafeidu noticed this unusual situation, and when he inquired, he found that Xinyang City was really changing. So, he locked himself in his office for an afternoon, and then held an all-staff meeting before leaving work at 6 p.m., announcing that the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2006 would not advocate the Mid-Autumn Festival event.
This is why a week has passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival cake activity that Ning Zhichu and their group of children have been looking forward to in their hearts has not seen a shadow.
So, will you be able to play cakes this year? Many students have a question mark in their hearts.
Seeing that Li Tingting had been pestering Ning Zhichu to speak, and Zhang Jing, who didn't know where to see this scene, suddenly became angry in her heart, and stood up and walked over to Ning Zhichu.
"Ning Zhichu, you come out for a while."
Zhang Jing's voice was very loud, and for a while, the originally noisy classroom fell silent. The eyes of all the students followed Zhang Jing's voice.
Ning Zhichu was talking and laughing with Li Tingting, and was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Jing. Frowning, Ning Zhichu didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Jing, and it became a hot spot in the eyes of the whole class, which made Ning Zhichu very unaccustomed, "What's wrong, Zhang Jing?" ”
Zhang Jing glanced at Li Tingting, and then said, "I have something to tell you." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jing turned around and walked out of the classroom directly.
Seeing this, Ning Zhichu couldn't figure out what the situation was, but as Zhang Jing's friend, Ning Zhichu could only apologize to Li Tingting, and then got up and chased Zhang Jing out.
Li Tingting accepted Ning Zhichu's apology with a smile, and then turned around, thoughtful.
Zhang Jing's glimpse just now, although it was very hidden, but Li Tingting, who was watched, out of the intuition of a girl with a bit of posture, how could she not notice Zhang Jing's inquiry.
It's just that Li Tingting didn't take Zhang Jing to heart, but was a little worried about the situation of her friend Xu Jing. After all, everything she did just now was for her good friend.
Li Tingting's tablemate Zhang Yuehua, a little girl with a few freckles on her face, was full of gossip, "Hey, Tingting, what did you say to Ning Zhichu, why is Zhang Jing so angry?" Hurry up and hear about it. ”
Li Tingting seemed to be smiling, and glanced at Zhang Yuehua, "What did I say to Ning Zhichu, would you not know?" It's a shame you're sitting so close. To be honest, I don't understand the situation, but what is certain is that Zhang Jing and Ning Zhichu are very good. ”
Zhang Yuehua rolled her eyes and pushed Li Tingting, "What you say is the same as not saying it, who doesn't know, Ning Zhichu, Wen Youyou, and Zhang Jing often play together, it is said that the three of them were classmates with a very good relationship when they were in junior high school, and they were admitted to the experimental middle school together." ”
"Wow, you know quite a bit." Li Tingting pretended to be taken aback, taking this opportunity, she looked around the classroom and found that almost all the classmates were discussing what Zhang Jing asked Ning Zhichu to do, and the most guessed thing was confession. However, the students sitting in the first row said that they couldn't see Ning Zhichu and Zhang Jing, as if they didn't know where to go after they walked out of the classroom.
Of course, Ning Zhichu would not disappear, he just followed Zhang Jing's footsteps and ran under the tree in the bud garden. At this time, the summer has just passed, leaving only a small tail. Therefore, the lush bud garden is very cool. Of course, there are also many mosquitoes.
"What's wrong, Zhang Jing?"
Zhang Jing sat on the small stone bench, looking inexplicable, not knowing what she was thinking. Ning Zhichu looked at her for a while, sighed, and asked.
"Can you not talk to Li Tingting more?"
