Tian Jinhe continued:

"The fortune teller said: 'The Jade Emperor sent you a rain decree, telling you to go down to Qinchuan with a gentle wind and drizzle, and the evil storm and rain hit the forest and mountain. The Jade Emperor was furious and told Dangchao Wei to kill you, and be careful that your head was taken away. ‘

"Xiucai said, 'Do you know who I am?'

"The fortune teller said, 'The dragon king of the Jing River! I knew it three days ago. ’

"The old dragon king trembled, and hurriedly knelt down to the fortune teller and said, 'Sir God, please Sir find a way to save my life, and I will reward you heavily.'

"The fortune teller said, 'Whoever you see can say that Wei Zheng can move, you will seek whomever you want.'"

So, the old dragon king found Li Shimin, the emperor of the dynasty.

"Li Shimin, the king of Tang, slept for three nights in a row and had the same dream, and dreamed that an old dragon said to him: 'I am the dragon king of the Jing River, and I have committed a crime, and the Jade Emperor asked your minister Wei Zheng to kill me, and you can intercede with Wei Zheng and let me go, and I will definitely thank you again.'"

"King Tang asked in his dream, 'Do you know when to kill you?'

"The old dragon said, 'Tomorrow is noon.'

"King Tang said, 'No problem, you go back.'"

When it was almost noon the next day, the king of Tang asked Wei Zheng to play chess with him. The two played several sets. At noon, Wei Zheng fell asleep so much that he fell asleep.

"King Tang was very happy in his heart, and secretly thought: 'I don't scream, as soon as he wakes up, it's past noon, and he won't be able to kill the old dragon.'"

King Tang sat and watched Wei Zheng, only to see that Wei Zheng was sleeping soundly, and his clothes were soaked with sweat. After a while, Wei Zheng shouted in his sleep: "Kill!" "I woke up.

"The king of Tang asked, 'Who did you kill in your sleep?'

"Wei Zheng said: 'The Jade Emperor told me to kill the old dragon king of Jinghe.'

"The king of Tang asked, 'Have you killed it?'

"'Kill!' Wei Zheng said.

"The king of Tang said, 'Where are you going to kill when you are asleep?!'

"Wei Zheng said: 'The head is hanging on the high pole of the noon gate! If you don't believe it, let's look at it. ’

The two walked to the noon gate, and there was indeed a blood dragon head hanging on the high pole, and Tang Wang believed it.

"At night, when King Tang was sleeping, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the blood faucet coming, and said, 'You have delayed my life, I have come to you to settle accounts!'

Frightened, King Tang sat up. Wait for a while, close your eyes, and it will be like that again, bluffing Tang Wang all night.

"On the second day, several ministers came, and the king of Tang told them what had happened. The ministers said: 'We will all sit here, and you will sleep for a while.' ’

As soon as Tang Wang closed his eyes, he still woke up in fright.

"The ministers can't help it.

"Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, two old heroes, heard that King Tang couldn't sleep, so they ran to King Tang and said: 'With the two of me here, are you still afraid of its old dragon?' You sleep, it's all right. ’

As soon as Tang Wang closed his eyes, he fell asleep, and slept soundly. I woke up and it was noon the next day. Seeing that Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were still standing at the door, King Tang was moved to get out of bed and let the two old ministers go back to rest.

From then on, every night, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong stood guard for King Tang and told King Tang to sleep. King Tang slept soundly, and never dreamed of the old dragon king again.

"More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Tang Wang is an emperor who understands, and he thought: It's too unreasonable for me to keep people standing at the door and sleeping by myself. asked the painter to draw the portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong and paste them on the door.

In this way, the old dragon king also did not dare to come. Tang Wang still slept soundly.

Since then, the portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong have been pasted on the palace gate. The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation.

Later, the common people also learned from the royal family, and posted portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong at the door every year, in order to let them block the evil of ghosts and gods.

Later, this matter reached the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor named Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong as the door gods.

"Now, although there is no statue of the door god, every family still puts an incense burner at the door and puts a few bowls for incense. Pray for the safety of the house. ”

Tian Yuanyuan: "Oh, so that's the case! So, what about the God of Wealth? ”

Tian Jinhe: "The God of Wealth is divided into the God of Wealth and the God of Martial Wealth." The God of Literature and Wealth has Bigan, Fan Li, Caibo Xingjun and Lu Xing in the three stars of Fu Lu Shou; Wu Caishen is Zhao Gongming, and the other is Guan Gongming. It's all in this ancient book.

"In the past, when we bought door statues here, we were used to buying Zhao Gongming, who had a black mouth and a black face. Now I don't want to buy the idol, and I can't tell who the door god is. ”

"Grandpa, is there a story? A story like the door god. Tian Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, grandpa, tell us the story of the God of Wealth again!"

The children said in unison by Tian Yuanyuan's reminder. What child wouldn't want to hear a story?

Tian Jinhe: "There are many stories about the God of Wealth, a story about the God of Wealth. Today's time is tight, and it's time to make offerings in a while, and grandpa will tell you later. ”

"Grandpa, what's going on with the God of Wealth?" Tian Qingqing didn't want to miss this opportunity to learn about folk customs and customs, and when she saw that the offering was not bad, she asked again.

Don't look at Tian Qingqing III as a person, I really don't know much about the door god and the god of wealth. In the previous Tian Miaomiao period, she was orphaned and widowed, and Hao Lanxin was not in the mood to tell her this (I'm afraid Hao Lanxin didn't know either). During Ling Yuanyuan's period, she grew up in the county seat. There is no such thing as inviting a family hall and offering to the gods during the New Year. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is eaten in a restaurant. The dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year are made by themselves, but the filling and noodles are all ready-made.

Tian Jinhe: "Welcoming the God of Wealth was an important thing in the past. On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family would sit around and eat dumplings. The dumplings symbolize the ingots given by the grandfather of the God of Wealth, so they must be eaten on this day.

"After eating the dumplings, no one is allowed to sleep, and they have to wait to pick up the God of Wealth.

"Most of the people who give the God of Wealth are people from poor people's families, or street vendors, who buy statues of the God of Wealth at low prices, walk through the streets and alleys, and sell them door to door: 'Send the God of Wealth!'

"Whoever you go to must not say 'no,' but politely say, 'Take it in.' A few coppers can be bought for one. Even if you are poor, you have to reward a sticky bean bag and exchange it for one.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, sometimes a family can receive more than a dozen 'God of Wealth', no matter how many they receive, the main family can't be troubled. This is to beg for the auspiciousness of 'the God of Wealth arrives at home, and the more and more he passes'.

"There is also a kind of people who ask for food to go to the village to beg for money, and after the master gives them money, they put a statue of the god of wealth on the wall in front of the master's house. When he posted it, he still chanted: 'The God of Wealth sticks it high, and the main family steams steamed steamed buns and steamed cakes; The God of Wealth is low, and the main family has a good start to the year; The God of Wealth is not high or low, and the owner's house is covered with money. ’

When the master heard this, he replied, 'Rich.'

"However, these are not prosperous now, and there is nowhere to buy portraits, so I put a 'God of Wealth Lord' on the wall to offer incense and incense, and my mind is fulfilled, that is."

Tian Qingqing nodded, indicating understanding. Then he pointed to the water on the offering table and asked, "Grandpa, what is this made of?" It's so good-looking. ”

The water offering is indeed very beautiful: a few green coriander slices are placed around the meat slices, on which is a round red carrot slice, and a few red carrot strips are dotted around it, and fine pieces of yellow ginger foam are scattered on it, red, yellow and green, which is very beautiful.

Tian Jinhe smiled and said, "I have to ask your grandmother about this, I really don't know." This is the simplest one, though. In the past, it was the last three animal offerings."

"How do you pack the three animal offerings?" Tian Qingqing asked again. I have indeed heard of the three animal offerings, and there are many mentions in literary works, but Tian Qingqing really doesn't know how to pretend.

Tian Jinhe: "Three animal offerings are a whole pig, a chicken and a fish......

As soon as Tian Jinhe said this, the children all laughed. Tian Yousheng said: "How can a whole pig be placed on the table? ”

Tian Jinhe also laughed at the child's innocence, and then explained: "A whole pig is to take the pig's head, pig's tail, a pig's front legs, and eight pieces of square meat from the pig. All cooked, smoked to a red color, the pig's head has a pig's tail in its mouth, the eight-sided meat is packed in eight large bowls, the pig's knuckle (pork leg) is placed on a separate plate, plus a chicken and a fish, exactly 12 dishes, representing the four seasons and twelve months of the year. This is the most solemn and best sacrifice. At that time, during the Chinese New Year, every family had to slaughter a pig, just to make a New Year's offering.

"Now I don't have that condition, so I have to replace it with water and install this. As for how to pretend, let your grandmother tell you. ”

Tian Lu was also very happy today, always with a smile on his wrinkled face. When the old man mentioned himself, he explained to the children as much as he knew:

"The water offering is made of blanched cabbage strips on the bottom, and on top are kelp, boiled dry powder, tofu, pork slices, and then a few coriander, a red carrot slices, and a few red carrot strips.

After that, the ginger foam with sesame oil brewed in boiling water is poured over it. Remember, it must be poured with sesame oil ginger foam, and if you don't pour it, you don't count as an offering.

"It's just a way to pretend. Depending on the position of the god, different amounts of tofu and pork slices are put in. Like under heaven and earth, there are five bowls, and there are five pieces of tofu and five slices of pork. There are four bowls in the family hall, and there are four pieces of tofu and four slices of pork. The other gods have three bowls, and they put three pieces of tofu and three slices of pork. Everything else is the same. ”

Tian Yuanyuan: "Grandma, when will this be placed?" ”

Tian Lushi: "The water supply can be picked up after a while." Dried fruits and snacks are placed on the morning of the second day of junior high school when they are delivered to the family. If you send it to the family hall, you can pick it up. No one is allowed to move it now. After a while, the incense is applied, and the money and food are distributed, and you can grab and eat it. ”

"It's so good-looking, won't it be messy when you catch it?" Tian Yuanyuan is breaking the casserole pattern (asking) to the end today.

Tian Lushi said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of chaos, the more chaotic the better." If there is a child who catches the confession, it means that the family is prosperous. After a while, you will go up and eat. (To be continued) RS
