So, he jumped into this pool of red water.

"Yanzi Spring and Autumn Period" records: "Water and fire are boiled with salt and plum to cook fish and meat" Judging from Sima Qian's "Historical Records", as early as the early Shang Dynasty, people were very particular about the taste of food. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese are "the people take food as the sky",

In the Book of Poetry, there is "a bean Kongshu, a guest is a guest", and the green ant is newly brewed with wine, and the red clay is a small stove. When you want snow in the evening, can you drink a cup of nothing? This little poem by Bai Juyi has always been a classic record of warm drinking.

It's nice to sit around and eat, drink, talk and laugh.

Clean and wash the bell, less water, and the firewood will not be smoky.

Don't urge him when he is familiar with himself, and he is beautiful when he is full.

During the banquet, even if you are alone in the corner, you are surrounded by warm fireworks, and there is a sense of security that is easy to fall into a daze.

Sun Wen once said: "The painting that pleases the eye and the sound of the ear are all fine arts, and the pleasant taste is not the only one? It is a cook, and it is also an art."

In fact, in the Eastern context, the food utensils were originally even higher than the food itself. Beauty originally originated from pictograms, from imagery. The aesthetics of food lies not only in the taste of the food, but also in the shape of the utensils.

Let's take a look at the utensils used by the ancients to eat, and there is also a hot pot——

鼎 (dǐng) was originally a utensil used by the ancient Han people to cook meat and store meat, and it was also a mysterious ritual vessel.

鬲 (lì), as a kind of cooking utensils used for cooking rice in ancient Han China, has three hollow feet, which is convenient for cooking and heating.

甗 (yǎn) is a steaming utensil in the pre-Qin period of China, which can be divided into two parts: the lower half is the 鬲, which is used to boil water, and the upper half is the retort, between which there is a hollow grate between the two, which is used to place food and can be steamed

Dun (duì): It is the food vessel of the ancient Han people, and crops such as millet, millet, rice, and liang are placed during sacrifices and banquets.

Dou (dou), which appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was originally used to hold millet for sacrificial purposes, and then gradually used to hold meat sauce and meat soup.

The "chopstick" is a container for chopsticks. Song people banquet guests, or eat in high-end restaurants, each table has a chopstick, waiting for the guests to enter the table, there will be a special person to take out the chopsticks and hand them to the guests, and the guests will then put the chopsticks on the "chopsticks" in front of them.

In the Song Dynasty, when the weather is cold, the wine can be placed in a warm wine jug, and then placed in a vessel containing hot water, which can be heated and drunk after the wine, which is also called a hot wine jug.

It is very ceremonial to put these large and small tableware on the table in a staggered manner, and the mood is very good before eating, and the cups and plates are also happy at the end

The most precious feelings are hidden in the process of each day, in the gathering and joy, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking endlessly, people come and go......

In the new year, I wish you and your family and friends a fragrant meal

Today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Qiqiao Festival, the Double Seven, the incense day, the week, the orchid night, and the Daughter's Festival. As early as the era of the Book of Songs, people had an understanding of the celestial phenomenon of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a personified description: "The Weaver Girl should cross the river on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and make the magpie a bridge." ”

Qixi originated from the worship of nature and women's needle-threading and begging, and was later given the legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, making it a festival that symbolizes love.

But today's protagonist is not the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but a pair of beautiful people who also have a magnificent mythological color, Xiao Shi and Langyu.

According to legend, it is the daughter of Qin Mu in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as Qin E, Qin Nu, Qin Wangnu, etc., marrying Xiao Shi of the, and learning Xiao Shi to make Fengming on the day, and Mu Gong is to live in Fengtai. Later, the husband and wife took the phoenix to fly to the immortals. See Han Liu Xiang "The Legend of the Immortals".

Qin Mugong has a young daughter, and when he was born, someone offered him to make a purple, and he got a beautiful jade. The woman is one year old, Chen Pan in the palace, the woman takes this jade alone, and she is reluctant to give it up, because of the name of the jade. Slightly longer, with a peerless appearance, and extremely intelligent. Good at playing the sheng, not by the musician, self-toned.

Mu Gong ordered a skilled craftsman to cut this beautiful jade for Sheng. The woman blows it, and the sound is like a phoenix. Mu Gong loved his daughter, built a heavy building to live in it, and the name was Fenglou. There is a high platform in front of the building, also known as Fengtai. In the fifteenth year of the jade year, Mu Gong wanted to find a good son-in-law for him

Lang Yu swore to himself: "I will be a good person, and the one who can sing peace with me is my husband, and he will not do what he wants." "Minister Mu has been visited all over the country, but no one has been killed. Suddenly, one day, make jade upstairs roller blinds to look around, see the sky is clear and cloudy, the moon is as bright as a mirror, call the waiter to burn a pillar of incense, take the jasper sheng, blow it in the window. The sound cleared and resounded into the sky. The breeze is blowing, and suddenly there is a harmony. Its voice is as far as it is near. The jade heart is different, but it stops blowing and listening, and its sound stops, and the aftermath is still lingering.

The jade is in the wind, as if there is a loss. In the middle of the night, the fragrance of the moon disappeared, and the jade sheng was placed at the head of the bed and barely went to bed. I dreamed that the southwest Tianmen cave was opened, and the five-colored glow shone like day. A beautiful husband with a feather crown and a crane, riding a colorful phoenix from the sky, standing on the phoenix platform.

Although Xiao Shi is in the court class, he is not with the national government, he lives in the Fenglou every day, does not eat fire food, and sometimes drinks a few glasses of ears. Learn the method of conducting qi from jade, and gradually be able to eliminate grains. Xiao Shi taught the jade to blow Xiao, which is the song of "The Wind". About half a year, suddenly one night, the couple played a flute under the moon, and then there was a purple phoenix gathered on the left side of the platform, and the red dragon plate on the right side of the platform.

Xiao Shi took the red dragon, got the jade and took the purple dragon, and went away from Fengtai Xiangyun. Today's people call the good son-in-law "riding the dragon", which is exactly what it is. It was night, and someone heard the phoenix singing in Taihua Mountain.

Therefore, the Qin people made the phoenix shrine in the Yonggong, and there was only the sound of the flute from time to time

Whether it is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, or Xiao Shi Langyu, or the two know each other, or keep each other for a long time, love has different stories in different people. For thousands of years, people's conversation and clothing have long been the same, but the desire for true love has never changed in the slightest.

In this festival surrounded by flowers, may you have a place in your heart and a love for you.

Whether you have each other now or not, as long as your love is always there, you are the happy one......

The Song. About half a year, suddenly one night, the couple played a flute under the moon, and then there was a purple phoenix gathered on the left side of the platform, and the red dragon plate on the right side of the platform. , or Xiao Shi makes jade, or knows each other, or stays together, love has different stories in different people.
