Chapter 470: Calling People

Okay this time, the guy hurriedly hugged his head and ran away. This time the egg king can't do it, but he has become a bastard, is he depressed?

"This looks pretty funny, that guy is clever enough to make a wooden egg." Chen Wu said.

Chu Jiaqiang was speechless, that guy he knew, he was very poor at learning, but he was very good at playing these, almost what he started, he would be right away, I really don't know how to say that he is good.

"What other customs do you have here? Just now I heard a man say, "Do you want to be called a man?" How to call it, what a strange custom. Li Quan just heard a villager inadvertently say that after eating, he had to weigh the child. Is this also a custom? See if the child has grown up after a year?

"Hehe, there is such a custom, it is not surprising that you have not heard of it, I don't know if there is such a thing outside. Speaking of which, there are many strange customs in the countryside, and sometimes I don't remember that much. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

It may be that rural people are still relatively feudal, and they know what the meaning of these things is, but they still follow the tradition of their ancestors.

There is also the custom of weighing people to eat Chinese food in Lixia. People hang a large wooden scale at the entrance of the village or in the gate, and hang a stool on the scale hook, or hang a basket, and everyone takes turns to sit on the stool and basket to weigh people. Luobasket is generally called children, and now it is basically only called children, and adults rarely participate, just to join in the fun.

The scale man was weighing flowers while speaking auspicious words. The old man of the scale wants to say, "The scale is eighty-seven, and the life is ninety-one." The scale girl said, "One hundred and five pounds, outsiders come to the door." Don't be willing to be willing to be biased, the champion son has fate. Weighing filial piety said, "The scale flower is twenty-three, and the petty officials will grow up to go out of the mountain." Don't make it difficult for the county officials of Qipin, and the three princes and nine kings are also easy to climb."

In addition, the weighing flower can only be played inside, that is, from the small number to the large number, and cannot be played outside. Gu Shiyun: "Lixia scales the weight of people." Laughing on the scale cantilever. ”

"I've seen people, and there are still people outside, mainly in the south, and it's rare in the north. I heard that this custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period, quite early, and it is related to Zhuge Liang. One tourist spoke.

"Why did it get to Zhuge Liang again? Could it be that this thing was advocated by Zhuge Liang? Who did he call at the time? How I don't know. Zhou Furong said with wide eyes.

He is a man in the antiques industry. this industry. For the stories of these celebrities, the most is cleared. Everyone also knows that behind every antique, there is actually a story. Sometimes, an antique has little appreciation value. But if there's a story behind it, its value will skyrocket. Therefore, for them, folk tales know a lot.

"How many stories are there in this folk. Can you know it all?" Chu Jiaqiang said angrily.

"Well, that's right, man, let's hear it." Zhou Furong said. Listen to the story, everyone likes it.

Legend has it that after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang sent his son Adoujiao Zhao Zilong to Jiangdong, and asked his stepmother, Mrs. Wusun, who had returned to her parents' home, to raise him. It was the beginning of summer. Mrs. Sun weighed Adou in front of Zhao Zilong, and in the next year, Lixia weighed again to see how much weight she had gained, and then wrote a letter to report to Zhuge Liang, thus forming a custom that was introduced to the folk.

"I heard the old man say that after weighing himself on this day, he is not afraid of the summer heat and will not lose weight. Otherwise, you will be riddled with diseases. After eating Lixia rice, hang a large scale on the beam, and the adult holds the scale hook with both hands and hangs the weight of the weight with both feet; Children sit in baskets or on stools with their feet facing upwards and weigh themselves on a scale hook. It is said that the beginning of summer can be avoided by weighing it. If the weight increases, it is called 'fat', and if the weight is lost, it is called 'eliminating meat'. The tourist chattered to everyone.

"Boss, that's what you say here?" Zhou Furong turned to Chu Jiaqiang and asked.

Chu Jiaqiang shook his head slightly: "There are some differences, but basically there are similarities, the customs are all the same, in fact, there are many places, but according to the environment of each place, there may be a little change, perhaps, this involves the authentic statement"

Here in their Chujia Village, it is said that Meng Shu was subdued by Zhuge Liang and obeyed Zhuge Liang after returning to Shu. On his deathbed, Zhuge Liang instructed Meng Shu to visit the Lord of Shu once a year. On the day of Zhuge Liang's request, it happened to be the beginning of summer this year, and Meng Shu immediately went to worship Adou. Since then, every summer, Meng Huo has come to Shu to visit.

A few years later, Emperor Wu of Jin destroyed Shu and kidnapped Adou. But Meng Shu did not forget Zhuge Liang's instructions, and still led troops to Luo. Yang visits Adou. Every time he went, he had to weigh Adou to verify whether Adou was treated badly by Emperor Wu of Jin. He threatened that if he treated Adou badly, he would raise an army against Jin.

In order to accommodate Meng Huo, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty cooked glutinous rice and peas into Chinese rice for Adou to eat on the day of the beginning of summer every year. Adou saw that the pea sticky rice was glutinous and fragrant, so he doubled down and ate it. Meng was weighed in the city, and each time he weighed a few pounds compared with the previous year.

Although Adou didn't have any skills, but with Meng Shulixia's actions, Emperor Wu of Jin didn't dare to bully him, and his life was quiet and happy, and he was blessed and long-lived.

In the end, Chu Jiaqiang said to others: "Although this legend is different from historical facts, what the people hope for is a peaceful world of peace and happiness, happiness and longevity." The people of Lixia will bring blessings to Adou, and people will also pray to God to bring them good luck. ”

In addition to these, on this day, Chujiazhai has some other taboos, all of which are aimed at children. On that day, children should not sit on the stone steps, and if they do, they must sit on seven roots, so that all diseases can dissipate. Do not sit on the ground, that is, the threshold, it is said that this day to sit on the ground will attract summer foot soreness, such as sitting on a must sit on the six earth oak into seven numbers, in order to solve the nightmare.

After a full meal, the adults came out with the big scale, the filial son followed behind, and many tourists watched. Some tourists with children are also ready to let their children try it and ask for a few auspicious words.

"Alright, come one by one," said the old village chief.

In front, two adults carried it together, and the other person looked at it, and the old village chief was talking on the side. There is evil, he has been talking about it for more than ten or twenty years, almost all of them are memorized, and every sentence is so smooth, people who don't know still think that the old village chief has a deep foundation

"Very good, eighty-eight, the drunken man grew up and got fat and hair"

"Not bad seventy-nine, the little girl has been married for a long time"

……

The old village chief's evil words are simply from the tape recorder, and he opened his mouth to say, anyway, every sentence is bad, and it makes those adults filial piety bloom

Those tourists secretly said: This village chief is not simple
