PS: Thank you Yuyinghua for the tip, and the monthly pass for the fake book lovers!

The old Taoist's stunt conquered everyone, and they all said it was an eye-opener, and the onlookers all hoped that the old Taoist priest would show a few more tricks. It's just that the Taoist priest consumed a lot of mental power just now, and he didn't dare to continue, so he had to apologize and say that this stunt was very nerve-wracking and could not be performed frequently.

In the surrounding area of the temple fair, you can also see a lot of small vendors, holding some small handicrafts to sell, or some snacks. At this time, their business is usually much better than buying at the market. Perhaps they also know that the people at this time are more willing to spend money.

This phenomenon is not surprising to everyone, when it comes to ancient Chinese temple fairs, people will associate with "temples" and think that temples are Taoist temples. As the name suggests, a temple fair is a gathering near a temple for worship, entertainment, and shopping.

Hong Lao also told everyone that Chinese temple fairs were born from the ancient serious temple sacrifices and community sacrifices and folk beliefs. During the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, the religious beliefs and entertainment forms of Buddhism and Taoism were added, especially after the further improvement and development of the Ming and Qing dynasties, highlighting the commercial and trade functions, thus becoming an important part of people's economic life, spiritual life and chemical life.

As evening approached, the peddlers began to sell more merrily. They need to take advantage of the last golden hour to sell more of their goods. Most of these people are from other towns, and they have long been interested in the opportunity of Chujiazhai to hold a temple fair, and they took the opportunity to come over and make a small fortune.

The result did not disappoint them, now that Chujiazhai is rich, even the children will have some pocket money in their hands, and it will be much easier to buy things. In addition, there are a large number of foreign tourists here, and business is even more booming.

"Let's go shopping, too. Just now. I saw something that seemed interesting. A student from the School of Chinese Medicine Revival said to his roommate.

There are a lot of people visiting these stalls, and the main customers are actually children, after all, they are more greedy and playful, and the small toys and snacks here are quite suitable for them.

"What the hell is this?" Tang Liye saw the clumps of bamboo strips on the stall and asked suspiciously. He looked left and right, but he couldn't see the reason, and he really couldn't appreciate anything special about these things.

Chu Jiaqiang glanced at it and said, "Little toy." The bamboo strip is now in a primitive shrinking state, and it can stretch out small animals and the like, and many children like this kind of thing that transforms. ”

When Tang Liye heard this, he squatted down. Grab one and pull it apart. What was originally a mess immediately turned into a vivid rabbit.

"Huh! It's a good thing, it looks quite techy! Wu Li's eyes lit up, obviously it was the first time he had seen something like this.

asked the price, these guys are not small, and they actually picked a few each. When he gave the money, he didn't have to give change, which made the little old man very happy.

Chu Jiaqiang had a black line: "Why are you buying so much?" ”

"Play! Don't you think it's great to give it to your child when you've played enough? Li Quan glanced at Chu Jiaqiang and said.

This answer made Chu Jiaqiang speechless. I feel like there's a generation gap with these guys. He ignores the fact that people are interested in things they have not seen. When Li Quan and others saw such a folk toy for the first time, they would naturally look at it differently.

"There are actually a lot of folk toys, and some of them are quite interesting. Especially in this kind of temple fair, all kinds of children's gadgets emerge in endlessly. Zhou Furong said to everyone.

There are many types of folk toys in China. The production is exquisite, and each piece can be called a handicraft. Some works that originally had a strong sense of divinity and witchcraft have also become playthings for children.

For example, the door god was made into a "fruit food general" and became the child's womb; The moon god rabbit also became a doll; Those soul-tethered lions, Dragon Boat Festival sachets and disaster-dispersing kites have long lost the color of gods and witches, and have become children's toys and companions.

Toys such as tangram and tangram with educational functions have become very popular. All kinds of folk tricks played an important role in the temple fair, making people turn the concept of "temple fair" into a concrete and all kinds of "things".

"Come on, let's play with this thing, we haven't touched it in a long time." Zhou Furong bought a few gadgets at another stall.

"What did this come from?" Hong Tianxiang asked suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and then hurriedly distanced themselves two steps from this guy, and they were ashamed to be together.

"No, it won't! You don't know this thing? Are you from Mars? "Even Chen Wu thinks this guy is a little painful, even if he hasn't played with that thing, he should have seen it or heard of it, right?

Hong Tianxiang touched his head, looked at the few pieces of broken wood, and wondered: "Is this thing famous?" ”

"I know, I know." Miao Huo's two little guys immediately answered.

"I'll say it first, I thought of it first." The small leaf immediately prevents the little bud from opening.

"Nonsense, obviously I thought of it first, don't believe you ask Dad!" Little sprouts are not far behind. Others sweated wildly, and others could still tell who thought of this first? Can you read minds? Miao Huo and Mo Xi were embarrassed, and they were also quite a headache for these two little guys, and they were all spoiled by their grandparents.

"I'm my sister, so I'm going to say it first." Xiao Yazi put on a sister's posture again, trying to force Xiao Yezi to comply. Get! It's back to the struggle between my sister and my brother.

"Hey! Ay! Don't fight! Say it together, say it together, I'll count one, two, three. Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to be a peacemaker. Miao Huo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that as soon as Chu Jiaqiang opened his mouth, the two little guys would be able to calm down. If it's him, it's definitely the kind that will make you live and die.

After the two little guys announced the answers together, Hong Tianxiang picked up the two pieces and looked left and right: "This is the tangram?" It is said that it can be puzzled? You can spell a few for me. ”

The tangram is made up of the following seven plates, and the complete pattern is a square: five isosceles right triangles (two small triangles, one medium triangle, and two large triangles), one square, and one parallelogram.

The benefits and uses of tangram are simply innumerable, and here are some of the benefits and uses of tangrams: shape concept, visual discrimination, intellectual skills, visual memory, hand-eye coordination, encouraging openness, diffusing thinking, and creative opportunities.

Chu Jiaqiang asked Xiao Yezi and Xiao Yazi to each spell one out and show it to the blind uncle. Both little ones are the masters of expression, or children like to show themselves in front of others. They spelled two for Hong Tianxiang on the spot, Xiao Ye spelled out a fish, and Xiao Ya was a cat. Hong Tianxiang was amazed, and the others were completely speechless about this guy, and they didn't know how he lived when he was young.

"This thing also appeared first in China, right?" A tourist asked.

Zhou Furong nodded: "Yes, it was later spread abroad and was called the Oriental Magic Board." ”
