PS: I would like to wish everyone a happy Zongzi Festival in this chapter.

Qu Yuan didn't believe that his leap back then had made one of the most important folk festivals of the summer.

After being reborn, Qu Yuan saw the diving of beautiful girls, such as 407C and the like. He sometimes wants to imitate it, but his physical fitness is obviously not up to standard. However, to say that on the banks of the Miluo River that year, he used a 407C to make the Dragon Boat Festival the most important festival in summer, and there was not even one of them. Then he will not believe it if he is killed.

Although according to legend, the custom of making zongzi and dragon boat racing originated from the behavior of the people who salvaged the corpse or protected the corpse after jumping into the river. Being able to enjoy such love from the people is a joyful thing for every ancient official. But after being far-fetched by later generations to become so many legends, Qu Yuan is such a serious person, and he has to ask: "Is this true?" ”

What's more, the scholars and doctors in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were like the opposite of the common people. The people who are called the heads of the Qian, in the hearts of the scholars, are uncivilized and foolish. How can they have the ability to make the Dragon Boat Festival the biggest folk festival in the summer.

Qu Yuan is now in great need of someone to answer his questions, to ask about wisdom and insight, among the 30,000 historical celebrities in the school, I am afraid that only Zhuge Liang is on the history textbook.

"I wonder if the chairman is in the dormitory?" Qu Yuan had already slipped to the Three Kingdoms dormitory building in the Qin and Han Three Kingdoms community, and asked about Zhuge Liang's news whenever he met people.

"What are you looking for my brother?" In the hall, Zhang Fei was practicing calligraphy. He is ready to participate in the cultural tourism festival exhibition competition to be held in the near future. Regarding the nature of the cultural tourism festival, Zhuge Liang once introduced it to him. At that time, Zhuge Liang also used the cultural festival in his hometown as an example of analysis. But Zhang Feicai doesn't care what the cultural festival is like, what he cares about is the generous prize money provided by the calligraphy display competition, as well as the rewards issued by the school to the winning students and the points of the corresponding clubs.

Qu Yuan also knew about the calligraphy display competition. Many days ago, Zhuge Liang had already issued a relevant notice. He originally wanted to participate in the competition, but unfortunately, his simplified Chinese characters have not been well mastered. So he had to give up the opportunity to add glory to the Warring States Society.

"I just want to ask about the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Dragon Boat Festival?" Zhang Fei touched his black head and said, "Oh, there seems to be a dragon boat race in the school, do you want to participate in it?" ”

Qu Yuan was not interested in participating in the campaign to recover his body, and he now only wanted to know if the legends were true.

"Of course not, I wanted to ask Zhisheng about the folk customs of the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Oh." Zhang Fei thought about it, and really didn't know much about this matter. So he set his eyes on Guan Yu, who came out of the dormitory, and asked, "Second brother, do you know where the senior brother has gone?" ”

Guan Yu was holding a soccer ball, obviously preparing to go to the stadium for training, and the intramural football cup match was about to begin, and soon after submitting the application, the clubs all started to carry out the affairs of forming their own teams. For the powerful Three Kingdoms Society, the training course has also started a long time ago.

Guan Yu patted the ball in his hand and replied, "It seems to be in the principal's office." I heard that it is organizing and arranging a zongzi making competition for girls, and it is said that the first place can add five points to the corresponding club. ”

Zhang Fei turned to look at Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan thanked the two famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. Then he hurried to the school office building.

may be too anxious, and he bumped into an oncoming person not long after he went out.

"Oops!" The man screamed and was knocked to the ground by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked with a smile, "Brother Tai is not injured, right?" ”…

The man said angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry, dragon boat training." ”

Qu Yuan didn't expect this person to mention the movement of salvaging his body again, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he made a mistake first, so he couldn't get angry, so he had to continue to say with a smiling face: "That's not it, but it's also related to dragon boat racing." ”

The person who was knocked over by "Uh......" was Wang Xizhi, who came to find Zhang Fei to learn calligraphy skills. After hearing Qu Yuan's words, he asked curiously, "I don't know what it is?" ”

Qu Yuan naturally had nothing to hide, and replied straightforwardly: "I originally wanted to ask Zhuge Kongming about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

When Wang Xiyi heard this, he smiled and said: "This kind of trivial matter, why should Zhisheng come out." I, Wang Xizhi, can answer one or two questions for you. ”

Qu Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed his hand and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Wang Xizhi chewed the words and said: "The name of the Dragon Boat Festival began in the Wei and Jin dynasties. The Jin people are in the "Wind and Soil Records" in the "Wind and Soil": end, the beginning also, which is said to be the fifth day of the first month of May. Before the Ganzhi time system was replaced by numbers, that day should be the noon day of the first month of the first month, which is the first noon day of the midsummer month, which is naturally of great significance. ”

After listening to Wang Xizhi's introduction, Qu Yuan not only did not dispel his doubts, but had more questions.

"Then the significance of the Dragon Boat Festival should not exceed the summer solstice."

Although the ancient calculation of the two equinoxes and two solstices was not very accurate, it did not affect the monarchs to choose this time to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth (generally the winter solstice, but the summer solstice is also very important). The so-called major national events are in the worship of the ancestors, and the worship of the ancestors and the great cause of national defense are of the same level. It can be seen that the top landlords in ancient times still attached great importance to the two points and two solstices.

In this way, the first noon of the midsummer month seems to be difficult to shake the position of the summer solstice.

For this question, Wang Xizhi couldn't give him an answer. But fortunately, Zhuge Liang came back from the office.

"Brother Kong Ming, come on, come on." Since Wang Xizhi was ridiculed by Zhang Fei with "old friend" last time, he has never called Zhuge Liang "fellow countryman" again, "Come over and explain to this brother the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

After seeing the ceremony, Zhuge Liang said slowly: "I once saw in a set of encyclopedias in the lord's study that the fundamental meaning of this Dragon Boat Festival seems to be that at the summer solstice, when the movement of yin and yang changes, it will drive away plague and prevent diseases and protect life. ”

Qu Yuanqi said: "Hasn't the lord always advocated talking about science? I heard that Li Shimin's wife was ridiculed as a superstitious by the lord several times, and several Taoist priests were not having a good time. ”

Wang Xizhi also said: "Even a few Wei and Jin madmen who like Taoism have been trained by the three masters a few times. ”

ridiculed Li Shimin, Zhuge Liang knew. But it was the first time he had heard of Shen Yu's attack on Wei and Jin celebrities. Come to think of it, the lord also has his arrangement. But it doesn't matter, science is such a thing, except for some remarks that hope to attract attention, not many people doubt him. Even if some people say that he has already appeared the shadow of the religion of the past, then he is also the belief that is most in line with the direction of the development of the productive forces.

"Naturally, the Lord believes in science. But science is not interesting to talk about. Lu Fangweng's so-called paper gain is finally shallow, and he never knows that he has to bow to it. As for yin and yang, that's the view of the ancestors. It is due to the experience accumulated over thousands of years, and the fact that modern science has only been a few hundred years old, although it has developed vigorously, it still cannot be falsified. ”

Qu Yuan didn't want to hear Zhuge Liang drop his bookbag now. He asked bluntly: "Brother Kong Ming just said that the Dragon Boat Festival is at the time of the summer solstice, and to do something to drive away plague and prevent diseases. Isn't he the first noon of the month of midsummer? Each of you has one statement, which makes me Qu Yuan so confused"...

This time, Zhuge Liang didn't answer but laughed, and he smiled heartily, which made the two people confused.

"The Dragon Boat Festival and the Summer Solstice used to be equally important during the Six Dynasties, but with the improvement of the festival system in the year, the Dragon Boat Festival eventually replaced the Summer Solstice. The festival function of the summer solstice has also been mostly moved to the summer solstice. During this period, your contribution to Brother Qu Yuan is indispensable. ”

Qu Yuan was curious: "Could it be that folklore really helped the Dragon Boat Festival successfully defeat the summer solstice." ”

"Of course." Zhuge Liang said with a reasonable expression, "The power of the masses is infinite, Li Er was stunned and said: Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." That's it. ”

Qu Yuan sighed and said, "It seems that I have to relearn the values of this era. ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered what Shen Yu told him a few days ago. The so-called "Thought Carving Knife" should really be used twice more to turn the concepts of these people into modern people's concepts and fix them. It's a pity that the lord still remembers the grand scene of a hundred schools of thought, and feels that diversified ideas and concepts can provide more development options.

Zhuge Liang had to admit that Shen Yu's thoughts were not unreasonable. It's easy to judge right and wrong, but the world is so colorful, how can it be so easy to encounter black and white things.

Since it is inconvenient to make a trade-off, let's do it according to the lord's will first. Cultivate the diverse ideas of these people based on scientific cognition.

"Speaking of which, dragon boat training is going on on Beauty Lake. I wonder if the Qu Yuan brothers are interested in going over and having a look? ”

Qu Yuan is no longer averse to the sport of salvaging his body, and it is said that dragon boat racing has now become an international sport.

"Shall we go and see?"

So Zhuge Liang pulled up his fellow countryman Wang Xizhi, took Qu Yuan and ran towards Beauty Lake.

Although the riding technique of the bicycle has been gradually accepted by the reborn, Zhuge Liang is obviously more willing to speak on two legs. It's just that Wang Xizhi soon couldn't keep up with his pace. Qu Yuan was also panting from exhaustion.

At this time, a group of guys pedaling bicycles and chanting Tang poems appeared on the road. Zhuge Liang thought about it with his feet, and the guy with the wine bottle at the head must be Li Bai.

So, Zhuge Liang roared like Ma Chao not long ago: "Stop and be checked!" ”
