Chapter 422 Shangyuan Festival
Cheng Hong looked at Cheng An, who turned around and walked away as if there was a dog, and laughed for a while, obviously wanting not to be with him, but he just pretended to greet him.
Look~ Now it's faster than a dog! If you want to run, you can say it, if you don't say it, I thought you didn't want to, and I couldn't rush it......
"Big brother, wait for the two of us!" Behind Huai Mo and Huai Liang, the two brothers ran out shouting.
Cheng Hong looked back~ I'm damned! What the heck?
I saw that the two brothers Huai Mo and Huailiang had powder on their faces, painted their lips, and a big silk flower!
Who is this wickedness?
Cheng Hong finally knew why Cheng An was reluctant to follow him, and the price dropped!
"Big brother, why did you come out without makeup today? Today is Shangyuan Festival, not more than usual! If you don't wear makeup, you will be despised! β
Cheng Hongsheng has nothing to love! That's it? People are wearing makeup, you two are purely disfigured! And let me follow you? What do you think?
To put it mildly, Cheng Hong didn't break the two of them, and the two of them failed to convince Cheng Hong, and in the end, Huaimo found a mask for Cheng Hong.
"Big brother, this is the Night Wanderer God mask I bought last year, you can make do with it! Otherwise, we really won't be able to go with you! β
Cheng Hong......
Am I? Disliked? You two draw like ghosts, I don't dislike you two, but you dislike me?
Cheng Hong looked at the eyes of these two people~ Forget it! Never mind! It's time to throw dirt with a madman.
Cheng Hong buttoned up the mask, pulled the folding fan brush, shook it twice, closed it and patted it twice in the palm of his hand: "Let's go, go to the lantern fair!"
Huai Mo and Huai Liang were curious about Cheng Hong's fan: "Big brother, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Fan!"
"Fan?"
"To be precise~ this thing is called a folding fan!"
"Smack!" Cheng Hong opened the folding fan again, and on the front was Zhu Bajie, whose head was full of stars, with a line of words on it~ Believe it or not, I will stun you with a fan!
On the back is the little fan with the wind.
Anyway, Huai Mo Huailiang has also been in the newspaper office for so long, and there is still a basic appreciation!
"Big brother's poems are chic!"
"Chic, this is called clumsy!"
The two of them suddenly realized!
The three brothers talked and laughed and went straight to the main street of the Lantern Festival, Cheng Hong looked around while walking, and the flaming red lanterns were hung all over the street along the way!
The prince's house is hung with red silk lanterns, and the small people's homes are hung with papier-mΓ’chΓ© lanterns.
"That's a lot of lanterns!" Cheng Hong sighed!
Huai Mo said next to him: "In previous years, there was not so much, in the past, Xiaomin's family didn't have much money, not to mention lanterns, even lamp oil had to be saved, they have saved a lot in recent years, and this lantern is getting more and more year by year!"
However, the lantern of the princely family has not changed, and it has always been as big as a silk lantern bucket! β
Once you get to Main Street, the whole street is literally a sea of lights! There are rows of small silk lanterns at the door of each store, with lantern riddles written on them, guess a hundred dollars, guess the lanterns for you, and pay a hundred dollars obediently if you can't guess!
This lantern is worth a hundred dollars, and the store is not sure how much to earn, so put some lanterns out all year round, write a few lantern riddles, and have fun!
Probably this is the earliest marketing!
This time to the main street, Cheng Hong was completely dazzled! All kinds of animals, character lights emerge in endlessly!
Marquee or something is a common thing!
Due to the non-stop propaganda of Buddhism and Taoism, there are really a lot of mythical stories this year!
What Nezha makes a sea lantern, Chang'e runs to the moon lantern, lotus lantern, treasure tree lantern......
Even Cheng Hong saw a three-British battle against Lu Bu's marquee.
It can be seen that during this period of time, although the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were very happy to fight for their beliefs, they were still a lot richer in their spare time as the people who ate melons!
As for what to believe? Cheng Hong shook his head, the people believe in who can make them live a good life! Undoubtedly, His Majesty Li Er, the wise of the Tang Dynasty, met their request!
Believe what? Is there a real person who doesn't worship your clay sculpture? Silly, right?
The two doors of Buddhism and Taoism seem to be lively, but the result of this is that there are fewer and fewer believers in the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism!
After walking for a while, the circle in front of me was watching the monkey, and now the monkey is not a somersault, kowtow and it's over!
Look at the monkey, dressed in shiny gold chain mail, with a purple and gold crown of phoenix wings on his head...... Dressed as a Monkey King, with a golden hoop stick in his hand, he can cause the onlookers to applaud loudly with two casual plays!
The old man who played the monkey took the gong in a circle, and it was full of copper plates, and occasionally a few silver coins, which made the old man's face full of wrinkles jump......
Walking again is juggling, swallowing swords and spitting fire, playing with meteors......
That's called a wonderful!
Further on, I saw the lamps of the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, and the Buddha gate is the three Buddhas of Rulai, Burning Lamp, Maitreya, Present, Past, and Future!
This lamp-burning ancient Buddha is worthy of the word lamp, I don't know how the Buddha came out, the tall lamp-burning Buddha is shining, pinching the lotus seal in his hand, and sitting on the lotus platform with kind eyebrows!
If you come to the center, Maitreya is on the right, and there are eighteen Arhat lamps and Bodhisattva lamps below.
On this side of Daomen, there are naturally Sanqing patriarchs, Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing. The faces of the three patriarchs range from old age, middle age to youth.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun is on the far left, an elderly image with kind eyebrows, a medicine tripod and a gourd in front of him.
Yuqing Primordial Tianzun is in the center, with a canopy on his head, each of which is a string of lanterns, which is called a beautiful!
The most surprising thing is the young image of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, I don't know how to get the Daomen, Taiqing Lingbao Tianzun pinched the sword fingers in his hand, stood with a long body, and the four swords of Zhuxian were made into four long Kong Ming lanterns, slowly rotating around Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun!
And the following is even more lively, both sides have invited two waves of lion dance teams to fight lions there!
This lion fight is very particular, at this time Cheng Huaimo ran to Cheng Hong's side: "Big brother! Look~ The lion is fighting over there! β
"Oh? Lion fighting? β
"That's right! The two doors of Buddhism and Taoism each invited two waves of lions, and the face-to-face dance must be fighting! If you don't know how to make a clear voice after winning or losing? β
"This is the first time I've seen it, but I'm bothering my brother to tell me about it!"
Cheng Huaimo scratched his head: "It's easy to say!" This lion dance......"
As Cheng Huaimo narrated, Cheng Hong also knew the exquisiteness of this lion dance.
There are three lions in this group, and the one holding the ball in front is called Lion Lang, but don't underestimate this person, if you are not a veteran of lion dance, you can't be a lion lang.
Which way the lion is running, what the next move is, and where there is an obstacle are all expressed from the lion's lead!
And this also depends on the timing, because the lion dancer, only when the lion opens its mouth can you see the outside clearly, you can't let the lion always open his mouth to stay!
Are you dancing the two foolish lions at the head of the village? Open your mouth and drip?
And this lion is also divided into civil and military, one black and one yellow, and this black and yellow are not all this color, but the conspicuous place is a touch of black, or a touch of yellow.
The black is the martial lion, and the martial lion's movements are powerful and atmospheric!
General movements such as soaring, stepping on piles, climbing, rolling the ball......
The yellow lion is a literary lion, tame, shaking hair, rolling, shaking head......
Two lions are considered to be a team, and under normal circumstances, a team of lions should have three civil and military weapons, and the colors are different.
And if the two teams of lion dancers meet together, once a martial lion steps into the other party's lion pile, it means that the lion fight has begun, if it is not separated, it will not end.
First, one side performs, one side learns, and then the other way around, and finally each performs a unique skill, and the team leaders on both sides hold the gong and bow for reward!
Which side has more money, which side wins, if it is not a mortal enemy, the money in the gong belongs to the winner, and the winning side is over.
If it's a mortal enemy, even the money for the performance will be lost to others!
Of course, there are also self-confessed skills are not good, you step on my pile, I will directly give the pile to you, the martial lion becomes the lion, in this case, usually the person who steps on the pile will spare the other party, show off his might, and return to his own pile.
Cheng Hong looked at it for a while, but it was very eye-opening, but the surroundings were very noisy, and even Huai Mo Huailiang had to shout two words.
Cheng Hong pulled his throat: "Huailiang!" Is there a cleaner place? β
"What?"
"Quieter place!"
"Oh! Qujiang Pond! There's a cultural meeting going on there! The princess is there and everything, it must not be too noisy! β
"I'll go first! You guys are here to play first! β
"Go together, go together!"
The three brothers squeezed out and went straight to Qujiangchi......
When I arrived at Qujiangchi, sure enough, there were two worlds with that side, the piano was dingdong, and Guan Xiao was melodious, Cheng Hong obviously felt that the two brothers Huaimo and Huailiang were a lot more restrained when they arrived here.
"Cheng Hong!" The eldest grandson shouted at Lao Yuan.
"Why are you here today?"
"It's too noisy on the street, looking for a quieter place, it's nice to be here! It's here!
Eldest grandson, why do you ask? β
"Oh, it's just that this place is usually a literati or something, and you martial arts families rarely come here, it's a little strange to see your three brothers coming together!" Changsun Chong explained.
"Oh? Poetry Club? β
"It's almost, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are a little involved, but dancing knives and guns are indeed not sensitive!"
Cheng Hong looked back to look at Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang.
The two brothers nodded.
The eldest grandson Chong patted Cheng Hong's shoulder: "It's good to have you, in the past, we fought with the talented people of the family here, so I and Wei Wangtai and Fang Zhizhi can compete with them a few times."
This year, Fang Zhizhi is not there just when you fill the vacancy, this is good, they didn't even give King Wei face before, and you have to win them this year! β
Cheng Hong......
When you didn't have me, you lost every year?
The eldest grandson Chong said while pulling Cheng Hong into it: "This year Shangyuan Poetry Club will have a competition, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are compared, the piano is by me, we basically give up chess, this book used to be a house legacy, and the painting is Tai's cousin!"
Finally, in the poem, the title of the poem was formulated by Yan Lao, and everyone composed the poem, and after it was done, it was judged by the Confucian! β
