At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed; The years do not live, and God rewards the diligent.

In the silent and cold winter night, there were one hundred and eight bells in the distance, put down the books in his hand, stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, and smiled straightly, the first year of Honghua finally arrived.

Fusang also inherited the Chinese custom of keeping the New Year, and the whole family gathered around the brazier to wait for the blessing of the god of the New Year and the New Year's bells, one hundred and eight bells represent the removal of one hundred and eight kinds of troubles. Parents are also very kind on Chinese New Year's Eve, with families getting together to talk and laugh, and children playing games such as Double Six, Fu Xiao, Beihe or One Hundred People.

Double Six is a dice board game similar to the Monopoly of later generations, in which the number of dice rolled by the player represents the number of squares on the board in which the pieces move forward, and the one who reaches the end first wins. Because the rules are simple, both children and the elderly can participate, making it perfect for New Year's play.

Fu Xiao is a traditional game of Fuso played in the first month of the New Year, in which the eyes, mouth, nose and other parts are scattered on a piece of paper with the outlines of the faces of Ah Kame and Ah Dofu, and the player blindfolds and then puts the facial features in the right place according to the memory. Because of the blindfold, the face pattern completed by the player is always bizarre, very funny, and very lively.

Beihe is a game for the daughters of rich and noble families, similar to the "Lianliankan" in later generations. Painted gold and silver paintings in Genji-e style on the shells of the clams, two people who participate in the game take turns to pick the other half of the shells in their hands among the scattered shells while composing a song, and the one with the most shells wins. Because only a pair of shells can be tightly closed, symbolizing the happiness of marriage and the chastity of daughters.

The rules for one hundred songs are similar to those of Beihe, with one hundred famous waka songs printed on the cards, and the cards appear in pairs, each with the same pattern and two parts of the same waka printed on each pair. The referee reads the song, and then first in the scattered cards to find a pair of cards with a poem written on the next sentence of the card to win, after the victory of the "self-formation" card less than one or the opponent's "enemy formation" card more, to the end of the "self-formation" card number of zero wins. Because of the edutainment, it has always been popular – it is generally welcomed by parents and girls, not by boys.

Naohide is a lonely family for the New Year, before he refused the Chinese New Year's Eve invitation of his uncle Takemae's family, after all, he is the head of the family, and he must guard his home on Chinese New Year's Eve, otherwise the relatives who died will be disappointed.

Fuso's Chinese New Year's Eve rice is soba noodles prepared before. The noodles of soba noodles are thin and long, representing longevity and good things, and in ancient times, goldsmiths would use ginseng and buckwheat flour when collecting gold powder, so eating soba noodles represents the New Year's wealth and is recognized as the first choice for Chinese New Year's Eve rice.

Eating soba noodles has to be cut off in one bite, which means that you have completely cut off the calamities of the past year. Soba noodles are eaten on the last day of the year, "Great Dawn Day", and yesterday Naohide had already eaten it alone.

Fusang does not have the habit of setting off firecrackers in the New Year - firecrackers are used when Fuso exorcises evil spirits, Naoxiu thinks about the New Year's plan while reading a book, time flies too fast, and he reacts when he hears the bell, and the New Year has arrived.

Naoxiu prepared dumplings for himself, and the original plan was to cook them before Chinese New Year's Eve, but when the time passed by accidentally, Naohide couldn't care about the tradition of not being able to light a fire for three days, and ran to the kitchen to cook dumplings. Do northerners not eat dumplings during the New Year? Even if you travel to Sagittarius for the New Year, you have to eat dumplings!

Leeks were introduced to Fuso in the 9th century, and have been used as a Kampo medicinal herb, and later some people put a little to flavor it when making soups. Now many of the poor lower-level samurai are planting some vegetables in their yards, Naohide also bought some leek roots to plant in the yard, this thing is hardy, Naohide returned to Edo and moved some of the planks next to the brazier in the living room, the growth is not very good, but it is still not a problem to make dozens of egg dumplings.

Naoxiu poured the wrapped dumplings into the boiling water, hummed a song and cooked them to go back to the living room for a big meal, only to find that his two students and Eiko were drinking tea and sharing snacks.

It turned out that the two students ran to a nearby temple to hit the bell and came back, and they happened to run into Yingzi, so they came to see Naoxiu together. came and came, so Naoxiu had to take a few more plates to distribute dumplings to everyone, and a few people were smiling when they ate. Eating dumplings originally symbolizes family harmony, reunion and happiness, food is one thing, and the atmosphere is also indispensable.

bragged about the defeat of the skin, and Naoxiu ate a pair of dumplings and began to gossip about the history of dumplings.

The original name of dumplings is "Jiao'er", which was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a Chinese medical saint (about 150 A.D. - about 215 A.D.), which is deeply loved by the Chinese people, and is also a New Year's food.

Europa's Itaria also has dumplings called "Tortellini", meaning navel, which is said to have been made by a chef based on his lover's navel, shaped like a Chinese four-cornered wonton, and is said to have been created based on Marco Polo's (1254-1324) description of Chinese cuisine.

Another type of itarian dumpling is the Idarian dumpling, in which the dumpling filling is rolled into a dough and then boiled or fried in water.

Fuso does not have dumplings yet, but in the future, Fuso dumplings became popular, and sushi, ramen, curry rice, and udon noodles were called "national food".

The famous Utsunomiya dumplings were made by Fuso people who had been to China, and for a long time Utsunomiya dumplings were the first in sales in Fuso, so people called Utsunomiya Gyoza Castle.

Considered by locals to have a longer history than Utsunomiya dumplings, the fried gyoza-style Hamamatsu dumplings are said to have been in circulation since the Taisho period (1912-1926), and the origin of the fried dumplings is said to be that the Goryeo people brought Chinese dumplings to Fuso.

Another theory about the origin of Fuso fried dumplings is that they come from a remote area of Lucia and are the traditional food of Lucia.

Fuso dumplings are mostly fried dumplings, and there are few boiled dumplings, and the meat filled with meat was relatively large in the earliest days, and later it became more of a fine filling. In addition, rectangular fried dumplings are also more popular, just like Chinese potstickers. There are all kinds of Fuso dumplings, and the famous writer Seawalker once complained that there are also dumplings that you order dumplings to burn you.

After eating the dumplings, drink a bowl of dumpling soup, and the original soup will be transformed into the original food. After that, the four of them played mahjong and waited for the "first sunrise".

Legend has it that the god Suide will come at the same time as the sunrise, so on the morning of the first day of the new year, people will go to the site with a wide view to worship the first sunrise of the year, and seeing the first sunrise indicates that life will be vibrant and hopeful in the new year.

In later generations, the best places to see the sunrise in Edo were Tokyo Tower, the Sky Tree, and the Roppongi Observatory, but now I have to climb the mountain.

In the early hours of the morning, the four of them climbed the mountain to watch the sunrise with the children nearby, and hurried home to sleep for a while, because it was about to be the first time the whole family went out to visit the temple in the new year to pray for the health and safety of family, friends and themselves in the new year.

The people of Fuso believe that if you visit temples and shrines at the beginning of the new year, then happiness in the new year will also increase. The first day of the New Year is usually three days before the New Year.

Fuso's New Year's "Hatsutsu" is a collective action of the whole family, where all men and women of all ages go to the temple to write New Year's greetings on small painted horses made of wood or paper, and hang them in the temple.

The most popular places in Fuso in the future are Meiji Jingu, Sensoji Temple, Zojoji Temple, Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine, Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, etc., and the popular spots in Edo today are Sensoji Temple, Zojoji Temple, and Kaneiji Temple.

A large group of people from the Takemae family, the Nakamura family, and Naohide walked along the streets of Koshu to Fuso Bridge, and then to Sensoji Temple, where they encountered more and more pedestrians on the way, and the depression caused by the Tenpo murder seemed to disappear overnight.

The town of Terashita in Sensoji Temple was crowded with people, crowded around, and Naohide and Eiko quickly separated from everyone.

Today, Yingzi is wearing a red gown with vibrating sleeves, printed with cranes and flowers, and Yingzi, who is one year old of Xiao Zhixiu, has no Yuan clothes, so she has no pan hair, combed a simple hanging hair, high clogs and white foot bags, and gently pulled Zhixiu's sleeves with thin grease powder on her delicate face. Naoxiu is also wearing a newly made "step-robe" today, and the ginkgo bun has only been taken care of, which looks very energetic.

The two of them quietly walked into the worship hall with the crowd, and after ringing the bell, the two began to make a wish. Naoxiu first wanted to return to the original world, and the second wanted world peace, these two wishes were estimated to be impossible for the gods and Buddhas, so he made a common wish of "good health, everything goes well", and turned his head after making a wish to see Yingzi still praying silently.

The sunlight outside shone in, gilding her figure with a layer of golden light, and the eyelashes on her fair face could be seen trembling slightly, Naoxiu listened carefully, but she didn't hear her muttering clearly, the quaint worship hall had a smell of time, which made people calm and peaceful.

After praying, Yingzi put down her hands, turned her head and smiled shyly at Naoxiu, which was very different from her usual bright and hearty appearance, Naohide was stunned for a while, and the two were relatively silent, but the townspeople behind began to make noise, and the two looked at each other and smiled after leaving the worship hall.

There was a lot of amusement in Teramota Town today, and the two of them went to the shrine maiden to draw lots first.

Zhixiu casually took out a paper stick, "The pine and cypress in the forest are thriving, and the rain, snow, wind and frost are always there; He has become a great use day by day, and his fame and fame are the pillars of the effect", this signature is good, and it can be regarded as "good luck". Looking back at Yingzi, Yingzi looked at it with a bamboo stick, because the family was poor before, Yingzi's sinology was not good, and it was estimated that he didn't understand what it meant.

Naoxiu is reluctant to let others unsign Yingzi, what if the nonsense spoils the interest? He stretched out his hand to come over and frowned, "When I return to my hometown in the wind and rain, it is his body that looks like a swallow; The title of the bad to want to be a base, to the end of the bad base to the bad must", this sign is not very good, meaning that you can't ask for it, and good things are grinding.

Yingzi gently shook Naoxiu's sleeves, her big eyes were full of pleading, Naoxiu and her explained in a twisted way, the implication is that good things will be done in the end, Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief, and Naohide must hang the two signs on the tree, and good things can be done without thinking too much.

After hanging up the sign, Naoxiu accompanied Yingzi to ask for the amulet "Gomori", the paper bag printed with flowers looked beautiful, Naoxiu wanted to open it and see, but was stopped by Yingzi, she pulled Naoxiu to hang Ema, Yingzi wrote about the health of the family, all the best, and Naoxiu wrote that the road ahead was open, and he didn't meet the villain.

The main quest of the first year is complete, and the rest is playtime.

When throwing the copper coin, Naohide looked at the turtle that was crushed and couldn't move, and kept laughing, and was beaten by Yingzi before giving up.

There are a lot of houses (roadside stalls) in the town of Terashita, and there are all kinds of things to sell, Yingzi is full of interest in shopping, and Naoxiu follows with straight eyes, Yingzi doesn't buy it, and finally Naohide makes a move, buys a pair of exquisite bronze mirrors for Yingzi, and buys a bunch of kites, tambourine, masks and the like for the children.

There are a lot of juggling and snack stalls on the roadside, Yingzi watched it with relish, and Naoxiu saw that she stayed there for a long time, so she paid for a reward or bought a little food to taste.

Walking in a corner, I saw that the lion dancer was gently biting the head of Toranosuke's younger brother Saburo with his lion's mouth, Saburo was so frightened that he screamed, and the unscrupulous head of the family next to him, Taro Takemae, haha university.

After meeting up with the Takemae family, everyone went to Fuso Bridge again before returning to Shinjuku. Overall, Naohide feels pretty good, and for the past three years, I've been on duty at Kaneiji Temple for the New Year, and I'm not in the mood to hang out in Teramo Town for the New Year, so I feel good this time, and I can continue next year.

Back in Shinjuku, Hanako's mother left Naohide for dinner, and drank Tusu wine to ward off evil spirits and health care at the banquet, and then Naohide played until late before returning to Horiya Yashiki.

Before going to bed, he put the scroll with the treasure ship under his pillow, hoping to have a good dream. The dream on the first night of the new year is called the first dream, which represents the fortune of the new year. From the Muromachi period (1336-1573), people put the "Seven Lucky Gods Boat Ride" under their pillows in order to have a good first dream, and the Fuso script, which has the same pronunciation as "Riding the wind and waves, waking up the long night dreams", so that even if you have a nightmare, you can put the painting on the river the next morning and let it float away, so that it will not bring bad luck.

Naoxiu stuck himself for a while, and now he really adapts to the life of Fusang, and even learns from others to pay attention to this.
