Chapter 166: Social Festival, Worship the Pier!
PS: The first is asking for a monthly pass, I hope you will support more, thank you.
Although it was four or five miles apart, Qi Xiang stood on the top of the mountain, and he could hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from the village, as if it was very lively.
Qi Xiang followed the prestige, only to see that in a corner of the village, a group of people gathered together, and they didn't know what they were doing. He squinted and looked closely, but he also saw it very vaguely, as if it was a group of villagers, holding some kind of ceremony.
Qi Xiang was curious, so he walked down the mountain and slowly walked towards the village.
After a while, he walked into the village, which felt wider than what he saw on the mountain. The sand and sand paved road is relatively smooth, and the trees with buckets are sparse or densely distributed throughout the village, which is very shady.
The whole village should also go to see the excitement. As soon as Qi Xiang walked by, he only saw rooms with locked doors, but in front of and behind the house, there was no one in the desert.
Qi Xiang walked for a while, and the lively sound became clearer and clearer, and after turning a lane, a dense crowd suddenly opened up in front of him.
"Knock Boom!"
In the lively crowd, several old people guided a group of half-sized gongs and drums, but in the field, there were seven or eight young people carrying the dragon head, dragon body, and dragon tail, taking neat steps, and dancing the dragon in a circle.
The last villagers, men and women, old and young, were nearby onlookers, shouting and cheering.
"Is it a holiday today?"
Qi Xiang was a little curious, and pondered in his heart, but he couldn't understand it, he simply took out his mobile phone and checked the yellow calendar. At first glance. He was even more confused.
Because today, it's very ordinary. It is neither a national statutory program, nor a celebration of traditional folk customs.
"Is it in the club?"
Qi Xiang was thoughtful, but he was not sure.
The so-called passing of the club is actually a social festival. Many people in modern times may not know much about social festivals. But as long as you are a child who grew up in the countryside, you should know what a food club is.
Actually, the company. It is the god of the land. In ancient times, surnames were used for the land. It is very reverent and worshipful, so every year a festival is held to worship the god of the land. The day of worship to the god of the land is the shrine day, and the festival activities are collectively called shrine festivals, or shrine festivals.
Generally speaking, the ancient festival was held twice a year.
When it is held in spring, it is called Spring Society. When it is held in autumn, it is called Autumn Society. The spring shrine prays for the valley, praying for the blessing of the shrine god, the wind and rain, and the abundant harvest of the five grains. After the harvest, report the good news of the harvest to the god of the shrine and thank the god of the shrine.
Qi Xiang estimated the time, and the Autumn Society should be these few days.
Of course, for a variety of reasons, each place has its own ritual customs. When exactly did you leave the company? It must be up to the local villagers to decide, and it is impossible to make a unified arrangement.
Therefore, it is not unusual for this village surname to be in the community.
Qi Xiang looked around, looking at the lively surname. I found that there was a blue brick and black tile temple next to it, and the temple was dedicated to the god of the land. Be more sure of your judgment at the moment.
"Ping Pong!"
Suddenly, firecrackers were set off. Crackling sounds. Accompanied by the smoke of gunpowder, it added a bit of festive atmosphere to the lively scene.
Smoke billowed and the dragon danced young. But he didn't stop, but sped up, holding the dragon's head, dragon body, and dragon tail, and danced more vigorously.
The long dragon body looms in the smoke, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and the effect is extraordinary. Suddenly, the cheers and shouts next to him became more and more intense.
After a long while, the smoke cleared, and the sound of gongs and drums slowly stopped.
Qi Xiang knew that this excitement was not over yet, and it was estimated that a formal sacrificial ceremony would be held. Sure enough, after a group of young people put down the dragon dance, they began to ...... Wait, that doesn't seem right.
Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and found that the next plot unfolded, not like he imagined, taking things to sacrifice to the land, but picking up big hammers, long hoes and the like one by one, and walking towards the land temple with a fierce momentum, murderous!
"What is this going to do?" Qi Xiang's eyes were glazed.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a muscular young man picked up a sledgehammer and swung it violently. There was a muffled boom, and the outer wall of the Land Temple immediately splashed with sparks, and lightning shone brightly.
"Demolishing the temple?" Qi Xiang was startled, and hurriedly looked around, and found that the villagers were indifferent, and knew that this was a pre-discussed decision, not a hasty decision.
"Why demolish the temple?"
Qi Xiang was a little surprised, after all, he knew very well that in the countryside, traditional customs were more prevalent. Buildings such as land temples, ancestral halls, Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, etc., have always been revered, not to mention demolished, and some conservative places are not even allowed to women and children to enter.
But now, the village is demolishing the temple, and those old people have not stopped it, and even offered to help, which is strange.
Qi Xiang continued to watch, and vaguely, he also understood a little.
Judging from the demolition, it seems that the land temple has fallen into disrepair, and some of the walls, as well as the tiles on the roof, are already rotten. As soon as the hammer was smashed, the wall skin and tiles fell down with a clatter, and the dust flew up.
At first glance, Qi Xiang understood what was going on, but he still had to be sure. He looked left and right, walked a few steps, and asked a young man next to him, "Is this going to be demolished and rebuilt?" ”
"Uh......"
The young man was stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, the temple is old, the tiles fell down a few days ago, and they hit people." The elders of the village felt that this was not safe, and after discussing with everyone, they decided to demolish the old temple and build a new big temple. ”
"Sure enough......" Qi Xiang smiled, also satisfied with his judgment.
At the same time, the young man asked, "Are you here to collect the shabby?" ”
"What?" Qi Xiang was stunned and didn't understand.
"Isn't it?" The young man pouted and said, "I thought you were in a group with them, and I heard that our village was going to demolish this old temple, so I hurried over to see if I could find something." ”
"Huh!"
Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he hurriedly looked over. Next to the temple, there were indeed a few people gathered there, and even if the dust was flying and the tiles were falling, they had no intention of avoiding it.
If you look closely, you can see that these people are really out of place with the surrounding villagers. The surname of the family is working hard to tear down the wall, and everyone is helping together, and it is in full swing. And these people stood by and watched, turning over the wall tiles from time to time to find something.
"Hey, peers."
This familiar move immediately evoked Qi Xiang's past memories. Needless to say, these people should be antique dealers who go to the countryside to collect antiques, or collectors and the like.
People like this must be deaf and clear-sighted, and when they hear something, they immediately move when they hear the wind.
Speaking of which, this is also in Luoyang. Luoyang is a place with a strong heritage, and if you dig in any wasteland, if you dig up any antiques, you will definitely not feel strange.
Of course, that was before, and it's certainly not so good luck now. The antique craze began to pick up in the nineties of the last century, and gradually heated up in the new century, and formed a rolling craze in the first decade.
During this period of time, the really good things have been almost dug up. It is difficult to tell whether the things that are dug up now are true or false. Dig once, maybe ninety-nine times someone else planted a mine.
There are more times of tricks, and everyone is obedient, and they are generally skeptical about the unearthed things.
However, now this land temple is now demolished. Under normal circumstances, even if the black-hearted traders and villagers collude with each other to plant landmines, it is impossible to bury them in the temple. The old people in the village would never allow such an insulting act.
Moreover, the land temple has been more or less a few years old, and according to the old rules, when building a temple, it is necessary to bury something in the ground, or in the walls, beams, and ridges.
That kind of thing, or called disgusting things, or called town things, is somewhat related to feng shui. Whether it is traditional customs or feng shui town objects, anyway, in the eyes of antique dealers, they are all very valuable things.
Needless to say, these people must have come for the things in the temple.
Qi Xiang smiled, saw that Hunting was happy, and nodded directly: "You're right, I'm also shabby." It's just that it's not with them, but unintentionally to join in the fun. ”
"It's all the same." The young man didn't care: "Whoever sells is not selling, whoever gives more money will give it." ”
"Hehe......" Qi Xiang smiled, his expression was very playful. Young people think, is this an auction, a few antique dealers, in order to compete for a thing, they raise the price sharply? Naive!
Qi Xiang has partnered with others to go to the countryside to dig houses, so he naturally knows the inside story very well.
Several people are obviously in a group, and it is impossible to raise the price and stab each other, on the contrary, they still have a tacit understanding to lower the price. Wait until you've bought all the things, and then slowly split the account when you go back.
In this way, not only the loss is avoided, but also the benefits are obtained, which can be called the maximum benefit. Young people naively thought that they would fight among themselves over things, but that was pure wishful thinking.
At this time, Qi Xiang said goodbye to the young man and walked towards those people. Before he got closer, he arched his hand and greeted with a smile: "Brothers, play?" ”
"Are you ......" a man looked up, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"The younger brother's surname is Qi, I was nearby, and I found that it was very lively here, so I came over to take a look." Qi Xiang smiled and said: "I didn't expect that it would be a good time, so I was moved and wanted to take a trip, but I don't know which pier to worship?" ”
"Trip?" The man was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to frown, probably scolding in his heart, it was really unfortunate that someone came to grab a job.
"Brother Cao, come and see ......"
At this moment, someone greeted him next to him, his tone was very excited, and his face was excited.
"What's the situation?"
The man didn't care about Qi Xiang either, and hurriedly rushed over. The nearby villagers also heard the wind, and a group of people surged like a tidal wave, instantly surrounding the ruined temple.
Suddenly, the people trapped in the center were miserable and shouted urgently: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" ((Report errors and backward chapters, is your greatest help to the library, the library promises that all reports will be dealt with in a timely manner) |||||||
