Ding Qi's second Spring Festival event in the primitive era was as lively as the Spring Festival in the eighties of the twentieth century!

It is full of rich original flavor, embellished with a little bit of the sprout of civilized society, and Ding Qi is full of memories. If you have some melon seeds, popcorn and firecrackers, it will be even more satisfying!

Swings, Yangge twisting, and tug-of-war competitions are staged every day, and each team is riveting, always trying to compare with their opponents, even if it is just practice. Waist drums or pan drums can't be made at the current level of the tribe, but there is a shortage of materials and manpower, and it's too late in time.

These activities, especially Ding Qi's new twisted Yangge, made everyone like it even more. Although there are no rich pigments, no various fabrics, no big flower faces, and no colorful clothes, but under the background of mineral raw materials such as lime, patina, and blue copper, they wearing animal skins have already danced the charm and original flavor of the stick whip by simply taking a stick and beating the stick whip.

Why?

Let's not talk about the flying whip that dances with the rhythm of the instrument, just the sound of everyone swinging the stick made of wooden sticks and whipping on the body, which makes people feel that this is different from beating the stick, the stick is thicker than the egg, and the feeling of hitting the body is much more painful than the thin stick whipping on the body. Even Ding Qi, who taught everyone how to play the stick whip, had a toothache and didn't know how to persuade everyone, because they said that only such a thick stick can be energetic!

Ding Qi was speechless, and said in his heart, is this all a group of monkeys? This is not a golden hoop stick, is it good?

Ding Qi is not good at dampening everyone's enthusiasm, as long as you are happy, you have to be happy when the New Year comes!

The bangs are whipped, with the rhythm of gongs, drums, cymbals, and blows, and the lively atmosphere goes straight to the clouds! Even the people in the westernmost part of the horse farm who were feeding the horses could feel it, and they thought that they should finish feeding the horses as soon as possible and go back to play together.

Speaking of beating sticks and whips, Ding Qi remembered an interesting incident when he was a child.

At that time, the village organized a Yangge twisting activity, and people from the primary school had to be selected to play waist drums and stick whips, and in the end, this matter fell on their class. Their homeroom teacher organized Ding Qi and seven or eight other students to practice with students from other classes.

Ding Qi asked why a few of them were going to practice? The homeroom teacher said seriously:

"Because a few of you are the worst students in the class, I don't want to affect those students who study well!"

Dingch: "......"

The relationship is because of my poor academic performance!

However, Ding Qi was happy that he didn't need to study, and the next day he happily found most of the village to learn how to play the stick whip and waist drum. These two contents are the only Yangge twisting activities that he will know. There is also a stilt in the back, but he can't, even if he is a soldier, his body coordination is particularly strong, and he has not learned it.

Ding Qi's stilt stepping activity made Jing's group of carpenters very tired, and they only made twenty sets of overtime, but it was enough for everyone to play. After Ding Qi talked about the essentials, some volunteers quickly stepped on it and slowly became proficient. Of course, the laughter of the people watching around him was indispensable, as well as Ding Qi's laughter, which was very similar to the sound of a pig laughing when he was a child when he watched others fall on stilts.

In addition to these activities, of course, there are indispensable kicking, crutches, and martial arts competitions that were popular in the tribe before. In addition, in order to improve the army's individual special ability, it has also launched polo, individual skiing 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers of cross-country, and new triathlon competitions.

These competitions are mainly aimed at army equestrian, skating

Snow, long-distance running, spear throwing and other abilities are improved, especially the new triathlon, which is different from the triathlon of modern society, and the content is mainly skiing, long-distance running and spear throwing in order.

Originally, Ding Qi wanted to increase the swimming program, but considering that the lake is now frozen and the weather is cold, it is really not suitable for swimming, so Ding Qi had to use spear throwing instead, but put forward requirements for the number and distance of spear throwing.

There are many activities and a large number of participants, including those slaves. Some self-confident slaves of some level choose to participate in individual competitions, hoping to be favored by the "big shots" in the tribe, so that they can change their identity, although they have enjoyed the treatment of normal people in the tribe.

As for the training of dog sledding and reindeer sledding activities, it also attracts many people to watch every day.

These events are all held to set the mood of the whole Spring Festival event, and the final winner will participate in the award ceremony on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the first place will be awarded a special iron knife.

This is a great honor, and according to the information propagandized by the tribe, the iron sword will be an even better artifact than the bronze sword!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, two specially made couplets were pasted at the Dragon Hall and the three city gates.

The content of the couplets on the three city gates is the same, the upper couplet: the beginning of the hidden dragon Tengyuan Ning City, the lower couplet: Fu Feng Yue Kong Shenzhou Xing, and the horizontal batch: the dragon and phoenix are auspicious.

The couplets on both sides of the gate of the Dragon Hall are: Spring returns to the earth, thousands of mountains show blessings descend on the world, and the horizontal batch is renewed for Vientiane. Ministry, refers to the tribe.

This is the content of the couplet that Ding Qi thought, which he wrote by himself with a brush and ink, and it looks quite imposing. As for the red color on the couplet, it is made by mixing the previous iron ore powder in the pulp. The ink is made of cow bone glue, deer glue, pot ash and water, etc., but the long couplets are cut and spliced.

Although the tribesmen have learned Chinese characters, their average intelligence is still poor. Therefore, Ding Qi also gave everyone a good explanation of the meaning of the two couplets, so that everyone once again felt proud and proud to be the descendant of the dragon.

After the couplet was pasted, the Ding tribe held a grand sacrifice.

As the healer of the tribe, the deer is dressed in the most beautiful clothes, with a crown of feathers on his head and a scepter in his hand, and stands in the small square in front of the dragon hall to perform the ceremony. Pigs, chickens, and fish are fully prepared, but as for cattle, sheep and pigs, Ding Qi did not agree.

Cattle are an important tool of production for the tribe, and a cow can make a lot of effort. Now he fully understands why people were not allowed to slaughter cattle in ancient times, cattle were too expensive! Therefore, he decided to use pigs, chickens and fish as three animals.

However, when the content of the ritual was decided, there were some discordant voices, mainly about who would preside over the ceremony. Some people say that female healers and witches cannot preside over the rituals of worshipping Aragami and heaven and earth, and that they come from a small tribe that was annexed in the later period.

Ding Qi did not explain, but still decided that the deer would preside. However, he had already decided in his heart that whether it was an accident or someone who wanted to make trouble, he would implement the basic policy of equality between men and women in the tribe again.

As for the tribe where Tinch has not yet remembered each other's names, Ben and Bucks, they have already put them on the list of restricted developments.

Unbeknownst to Tinch, the tribal class slowly took root in the years that followed.

After praying to heaven and earth, Ding Qi took the stage to give a speech, once again mobilizing the enthusiasm of the entire tribe.

Moreover, Ding Qi personally announced that the year from tomorrow will be the first year of the tribe, and it will be called the first year of Longxing.

Subsequently, various competitions were held

A total of 12 winners stood on the stage to receive the awards from Ding Qi in person.

Due to the regulations of the tribe, personnel above the rank of squad leader in the army are not allowed to participate in martial arts competitions. Therefore, these twelve warriors are the best of the low-level soldiers.

When the heavy iron sword with wooden scabbard was delivered to them, they fell to their knees with tears in their eyes and expressed their loyalty to Tinch. And these twelve people were honored by the tribe as the twelve warriors, and in the years to come, they made great contributions to the tribe.

After the awards, the whole tribe goes into carnival mode. Except for the staff on duty, everyone gathered around the main square and the canteen for a party. Activities such as Yangge twisting are staged collectively, and each team lines up from the avenue to the south of the main square, performs in order, and finally comes to the small square in front of the dragon hall to perform to the high-ranking members of the tribe.

After the performance, there will be a vote from the tribe hierarchy to select the top three teams with the best performance among these teams to be praised and the entire tribe will be announced.

The whole process, just like Ding Qi's participation in the county's debriefing performance when he was a child, was village by village until noon. And everyone who participates in the performance will be given five yuan by the village, so that everyone can go to the street to buy their favorite food. Including candy, rock sugar gourds, and anticipatory ice cream.

Eating ice cream in winter will never be forgotten.

After the Chinese New Year, Ding Qi gave everyone a fifteen-day holiday, and on the last day, there was a celebration, which was called the Lantern Festival.

During this fifteen-day holiday, in this cold winter, it is rare for everyone to raise a layer of fat, and this layer of fat is immediately used in the next activities.

In the 80s of the 20th century, there was an activity in the countryside in winter, that is, the construction of water conservancy. At this time, Ding Qi asked everyone to do things, which were also to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland.

China belongs to the great river civilization, and agriculture has always dominated the economy, and water conservancy irrigation and the expansion of cultivated land area are important factors to ensure agricultural production and increase agricultural output.

Especially for the tribe now, the development of agriculture is a top priority when the surrounding animal resources are beginning to decline. Expanding the area of cultivated land and developing water conservancy and irrigation are the areas that Ding Qi needs to focus on this year.

The construction of water conservancy is mainly to dig ditches to divert water and to raise and strengthen the embankment on the shore of Nanhu Lake. In the past, there was a case where the water level of the lake rose due to heavy rains for several days, and the entire grassland area was submerged, so it was necessary to raise and strengthen the embankment so as not to have too much impact on the paddy fields and pastures on the north shore of the lake.

Under the planning of the tribe's upper echelons, the entire tribe was divided into six parts, one large group was used to strengthen the embankment, one team was used to build a pier on the original headland, and the remaining three teams were to dig a diversion ditch. The last team is the support team, delivering water and meals to everyone, and everyone eats and rests on the construction site, saving a lot of time.

The soil used to reinforce the embankment comes from two parts: one is to dig the lake mud in situ and accumulate it on the shore, and then level and compact it after it is dry; Part of it was brought in from afar to build a dam.

In the process of dredging the lake mud, it will cause bursts of exclamations from time to time. It turned out to be the cheers of children who followed them when they saw the loaches, eels and frogs that the adults had dug up. Of course, there are also some adults who are frightened when they dig out the snakes themselves, and the laughter of the people next to them.

But in the whole process, there is always a positive, not afraid of hardship, and a hot atmosphere!
