1.81 Hunting and worshipping ancestors

"Customs and Customs": "Waxers, hunters." Because of the hunting of beasts to sacrifice to the ancestors, or the wax is also connected, the new handover, and the hunting sacrifice is also to repay the merits. ”

Hunting is a princely pleasure.

The carriages and horses of the Linxiang Houfu are exhausted, and the momentum is huge. It was several scholars who were also in high spirits, each riding in a high car, marching in the queue.

The wheels are tall, so they can travel in the snow.

Liu Bei was a general of the Imperial Auxiliary Han. Below the general, there can be military marquis, Sima, school captain, general, general, general, lieutenant general, etc. In terms of meritorious deeds, his father-in-law Huang Zhong was the school captain. Command several armies. It's not that I don't want to be a general of my father-in-law. But the father-in-law refused. Say, only merit can be rewarded. Wasteless, restless sleep. Liu Bei did not insist. Anyway, the Han Dynasty is stormy, thieves are constantly rebelling, and there are opportunities.

Hunting means hunting on all sides. Also known as hunting.

The art of war is cloudy, and ten rules surround it. Why hunting is a princely pleasure can be seen from the size of the population. How can an ordinary family gather people who are ambushed on all sides?

Xianbei horses grow outside the gates. Able to withstand severe cold. Hundreds of dragons ride, shoot tigers and ride around the snowy wilderness. The bell of the horse, the knight shouted. Drive away the beasts. Liu Bei was dressed in a big coat and rode a yellow horse. Accompanied by his father-in-law, Xu Rong, Huang Gai, Wu Lian, Bai Zhuo and others, he slowly advanced.

When the road encounters a panicked beast, he is killed with an arrow. Liu Bei's bow technique was inherited from the third uncle and Huang Zhong. Hit every shot, and there was no miss.

Returning to a makeshift camp on the western edge of the wild forest. There are dozens of tall cars that have been cobbled together into a huge garage. The tent was held high, and there were several green-glazed pottery ovens lined up in the tent. Liu Bei took the lead. The retainers and the great Confucian scholars sat opposite each other.

The oven is exquisitely shaped, with four feet decorated with bears, each with a pavement in the middle of the side, a pattern painted on the side of the stove, and a plaster leak hole and tray at the bottom of the oven. The charcoal fire in the oven is blazing. At home, the maid holds several well-worn meat skewers and puts them on the stove to burn (fán zhì), and swings a fan in her right hand to drive away the wind, which is very familiar.

"Burn, add it to the fire. Burning, on the fire. ”

That's right, Liu Bei is eating barbecue with Da Ru.

Nowadays, barbecue is all the rage.

"Charcoal, burning wood to retain sex, and those who provide (burning) fire for warmth in the cold moon are not smoking or burning, which is precious."

'Mulberry charcoal is very beautiful', 'no smoke and no flame'. Use it for broiling, just for it. The Yan maid from the Western Regions at home is not only proficient in a variety of barbecue meats such as beef roast, beef waki, cattle ride, dog waki, dog liver bracket, pig bracket, deer roast, chicken roast, etc. It will also be brilliant.

"Burn, all burn, each with a knife, out of Hu Zhi's action." 貊 is not a beast recorded in ancient books. Rather, it refers to the northern alien race in the pre-Qin period. The word 貊 is often used as "raccoon dog" in ancient times, and is often called "Hu" in conjunction with "Hu". Generally refers to the northern alien races. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" has a country, near Yan. "Zhou Li" has "nine raccoon dogs". It shows that its races are many and mixed.

The so-called 'barbecue', consciousness is the barbecue of the northern people. Such as: roast whole sheep, whole pig barbecue skills. Also known as: roasted whole livestock.

The vessel is too big. Not easy to carry. That's why I ate all kinds of meat skewers this time.

The barbecue meat is golden and oily, and the aroma is tangy.

Barbecue sticks, mostly single strands. The material is mostly iron. There are also two strands, or three strands. They are called "bifid clusters" and "trifid clusters".

Eating the burnt oil and drinking the ironed pine spring brew, the snow outside the tent is white, and the inside of the tent is as warm as spring. Rao is several great Confucians also frequently raised their glasses, each with their own happy faces.

Nowadays, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all linked to grades.

The princes had four meals a day, and the magnates had three meals a day. Qi Min has two meals a day. Ordinary people rarely eat meat. "Eat vegetables and meat, and then see meat." In the event of a disaster and famine, it is "the clothes of cattle and horses, and the food of dogs".

"The meat of a husband and a pig will be harvested in middle age, and fifteen buckets of millet will be eaten by a man for half a month." That's it.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. At the end of the day, it's still uneven.

Fifty acres of beautiful fields in the township. Enough food and clothing. As a result, "folk wine and food, the corpse brigade overlapped, and the case was full of burns". This is evidence.

Liu Bei once said that his lifelong wish is that the world is like Lou Sang. The young monarch and the marquis are consistent in their words and deeds, and what they say is true.

Several Confucians are even more sympathetic.

The number of teachers is rising every year. From the original than a thousand stones, a thousand stones, more than two thousand stones, two thousand stones, last year even comparable to the real two thousand stones. The moon valley is one hundred and fifty hundred, and the annual income is 1,800 stones. 540,000 for 5 baht. This is still sent by the people of Yi. He did not receive food from the young prince.

It shows the wealth of the hometown.

In addition to hunting and worshiping ancestors, Zhengla also has to hold a ceremony to drive away the plague (nuó).

The Book of Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicles of Etiquette once described the ritual of the Han Palace: Huangmenzi was selected from the tenth to the twelfth years old, and a total of 120 people were selected as ghosts and ghosts. They all wear big red heads, wear soap and green clothes, hold big drums, and are the first to play the role of Fang Xiang, the god of exorcism. Fang Xiangshi is the main dancer, wearing a mask, wearing a bear skin, holding a contradictory card, leading twelve people dressed as ghosts, shouting and dancing with one hundred and twenty boys, beating drums. Monsters that symbolize evil spirits scatter and flee. The pomp and circumstance is unprecedented.

There are also folk activities such as big festival ceremonies, prayers for blessings, and there are many banquets and drinks such as weddings and birthdays.

The whole is a positive wax, and the whole countryside is in laughter and laughter, and it is a joyful time. Thinking about last year's expedition, the beacon fire was in full swing. Now that he is safely resting, Liu Bei often wakes up in the middle of the night. White fog often appears in dreams, and in the hazy fog and shadows, there are red deer running. When he went to chase him, he flew up in the wind, and after landing far away, he turned into a towering giant tree. It is shaped like a five-zhang mulberry in front of the door.

Then he ascended to the atrium tower and met with the deputy Fu Luo. Tell her what you dreamed of.

Deputy Voloche replied that the Han Dynasty prospered with fire. Red deer is a fire. The giant tree is a wood spirit. Wood makes a fire. It is a good omen.

Liu Bei once said that he would take the deer as the banner. Even so, the old mulberry at home should also be embroidered on the flag.

Qingxi Port, the second floor of the residence.

Although it is already the hour, it is still full of friends. The merchants and boatmen (boatmen) who were stranded in the countryside a few years ago spent a lively New Year with the people of Yizhong. Today, the Lousang Navy wheelship turned back from the place where Laishui entered the sea. It brought news that the Bohai Sea had thawed and would be able to move south in a few days. Someone asked in a loud voice: How is the river?

He replied that the river would also thaw and would be navigable in the near future.

The return home is in sight, and the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic. The big ships of more than 100 stones are berthed in the port of Dukang. Most of the merchant ships stranded in Lousang were Baishi inland river merchant ships. Therefore, I don't ask about the Bohai Sea, but about the big river.

In the crowd, one person sat alone. Drink on your own. The merchant next to him became acquainted with him, so he asked: Why is my brother sad when he is about to return home?

The man sighed, and then put down the wine glass: Don't hide it from the virtuous brother. The foolish brother is here to avoid disasters and eliminate disasters. A few years ago, I heard that the heroic Shi Lian of Surabaya appeared in the hall and devoted himself to the door of the young monarch. I knew him well when I was a teenager. Then they came to ask for help. coincided with the construction of the valley, so I wanted to ask Shi Jian to help me up and down, and let my family avoid Lousang. Unexpectedly, after repeated invitations, Shi Lian postponed his words and did not come to the banquet. Seeing that the merchant ship was about to turn back, he thought that a catastrophe was coming, but he was at a loss. So it's melancholy.

It dawned on the trader: I see. Shi Lian is a righteous man. It must be the duty, and I dare not leave it lightly. I am familiar with Lou Sang Mingting Le Gong. It's better to go to the official residence with me tomorrow and plead to Duke Le in person. How is it?

The man was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted: So, Li Yong, thank you!
