Liu Min remembered the old people like Hongyun, and suddenly remembered Zhen Yuzhonglai; Zhe Yuzhong was burned alive by the three-flavor true fire released by the poisonous toad driven by the demon monk Weng Lianlu.

Zhe Yuzhong died a little unjustly, and he chased the rebellious Li Jiqian all the way from Beidi Fuzhou Prefecture to Daosongpan ground; didn't catch Li Jiqian, but he went to Huangquan Road first.

Zhi Yuzhong's death shocked Liu Min a lot, he once had a crush on her, but ......

Liu Min was sad for the death of Yu Zhong for a while, and his thoughts shifted to the side of Daxiangguo Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple not only has a Goolan tile house, but also a Buddhist orchestra; The Burning Orchestra is a large orchestra composed of monks, and its scale is not inferior to that of the Central Orchestra of later generations.

As the largest royal temple in the Northern Song Dynasty and the center of national Buddhist activities, Daxiangguo Temple has reached its peak in the prosperity of Sanskrit music.

Every large-scale celebration, 800 famous music monks are invited to perform together; The ensemble is large-scale and magnificent, and it is unparalleled in the world.

In the golden autumn season, the autumn chrysanthemum is in full bloom, the thick and sonorous Xiangguo frost bell and the Sanskrit music of the subdued and frustrated music, the sound is in the ears, exciting, and it spreads far and wide, becoming a grand event at that time.

The Daxiangkokuji Burning Orchestra generally performs in six situations.

One is the daily Buddhist affairs, generally only singing and chanting and other vocal music, on the first day of the new year, the fifteenth day of the incense to offer music, than the daily increase of musical instruments to show grandeur. The second is the grand Buddhist festivals, such as Shakyamuni Buddha's Christmas birthday, Nirvana Day, etc. The abbots of the monasteries have sent invitations to the monasteries, and hundreds of monks have gathered together to play Sanskrit music, with the sound of sheng pipes and bells and drums shaking the sky, which stretches for several days from early morning to dusk. The third is to celebrate the birthday of the emperors of the past dynasties. Fourth, folk festivals such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., are celebrated all over the world, and Sanskrit music is cheerful and enthusiastic. The fifth is the performance during the puja. Sixth, it is played when doing water and land dojos.

Liu Min planned to go to Daxiangguo Temple to see the monk burning orchestra and some of the more famous Golan places in Sangjiawazi before performing "Gongsun Da Niang's Sword Dance" and "Feather Clothes and Ni Dress Song", so as to decide where to display them.

After Liu Min returned to the inn, he suddenly had an idea and said to Gong Huangxing: "Mother, if you don't want to practice the little gong, let my father practice the drum; When the little girl dances, you can use the mole drum and the gong to accompany you! ”

Gong Huangxing smiled and said: "Is it true that the girl wants to discount the duck on the shelf, your mother is an expert in killing pigs; Beat the gong and drum and step on the idea! ”

Wang Zhou smiled and said: "Don't have stage fright in the Hun family, have you ever seen a monkey?" The little gong that played the monkey was struck loudly, and the monkey went into battle; Just because my daughter is a monkey, you just have to watch her toes knock! ”

Liu Min laughed loudly, pointed his finger at Wang Zhoudao, and said, "Daddy really knows how to arrange his daughter!" But it's okay, you two will treat you as a girl and a monkey! ”

After Liu Min said this, he looked at Granny Shen and said, "Mother, you prepare a bamboo basket, and when the time comes, you can just collect money from the gang!" ”

Granny Shen smiled from ear to ear, grabbed one of Liu Min's hands tightly with her two hands and said, "My granddaughter just can!" If you don't see the eight characters, let your mother-in-law collect money! Well, my mother-in-law believes that my granddaughter can earn the money back! ”

Liu Min agreed on a plan of action with Wang Zhou, Gong Huangxing, and Granny Shen, bought gongs and drums, and practiced in the inn for a day; Then he entered the Great Xiangguo Temple to choose a performance.

Daxiangguo Temple is the place where the tiles of Bianliang City are concentrated, and the tiles are cultural and entertainment places for future generations; Culture and entertainment were a fashion in the Song Dynasty, and the appearance of tiles marked the completion of a transformation of urban life and urban landscape.

Before the Song Dynasty, shops were not allowed to open on the streets of the city; There is a curfew on the street at night.

The change began in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and by the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, merchants bought and sold on the street as a fait accompli, and the emperor issued an edict acknowledging the status quo.

As a result, the streets are lined with shops and bustling; In big cities, a fixed type of meeting place also appears in a lively place; This kind of fixed place to play is called tile.

The reason why it is called "tile" is because there was no ready-made name at that time, and the ancients found that this kind of funker gathered and scattered, like a brick and tile, so they called the place where they gathered and played "Washe" and "tile".

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu wrote in "Menglianglu": "Those who are vasher are said to be disintegrated by those who come, and when they go, they are easy to gather and disperse." ”

There are a lot of fun items in the "tile", there are places for groceries and food and drink, as well as sumo, shadow plays, miscellaneous plays, puppets, singing and earning, kicking, memorizing business riddles, learning from the countryside and other performances, people will have a lot of fun when they go in, and it will cost a lot of money.

There are more than 50 tiles in Bianjing City, to the Southern Song Dynasty, there are 24 tiles inside and outside Lin'an City, the name is called a certain tile, among which the north tile of Zhong'an Bridge is the largest.

The appearance of tiles indicates the prosperity of the city's entertainment industry, which means the growth of the ordinary citizen class and the vitality of urban life and urban economy.

People living in the city can not be rigid, however, the tile also has drawbacks, Wu Zimu said: the tile is "the place where the scholars are dissolute and unruly, and it is also the door for the children to linger and destroy." ”

It means that the "children" who are ignorant of the world will ruin their future if they linger in the tiles.

The entertainment venue called "Wazi" is open all night along with restaurants and tea houses.

The whole city of Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty has 23 tiles, of which the "North Tile" is the largest, and there are 13 Goolan (places where a hundred operas are staged), which are respectively performed in history books, music performances, dances, acrobatics, dramas, sumo wrestling, puppet shows, rapping, talking nonsense and learning folk talk (similar to cross talk, funny), shadow puppetry, etc. The performances were performed day and night, and thousands of spectators were surrounded by water.

Wazi, also known as "Goolan", "Washi", "Washe", is a performance venue, with extremely rich music arts, rap and acrobatics and other performances as the content, a more popular hedonistic consumption has sprung up.

In the Bianjing city of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are more than 50 Sangjia tiles, middle tiles, liwa and large and small hook columns.

Among them, the tile lotus shed, the peony shed, the Liwa yaksha shed, and the elephant shed are the largest, which can accommodate thousands of people.

Like a theater for later generations, Wazi provided a place for the public to enjoy various performances.

"Tokyo Menghualu" records that since Chongguan, there have been small singing, singing, puppets, miscellaneous dramas, telling history, scattered music, shadow plays, insects and ants, Zhugong tunes, telling jokes, business riddles, calling fruits and so on.

These contents are what people like to see, and history says that at that time, "not to wind and rain, cold and summer, all the sheds look at people, and they are like this every day".

"Every day on the fifth watch, I go back to the small miscellaneous dramas, and I can't watch it late", which is quite a posture of competing to watch "New Year's movies" today.

Wazi gives people multiple enjoyments such as sight, hearing, and pleasure, and in addition to the service items of "many medicines, selling hexagrams, drinking old clothes, exploring food, shaving paper, painting songs, etc.", so that people "live here all day long, and do not feel that they are at dusk".

During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Goolan Washe was transmitted to Hangzhou; During the Shaoxing period, because Hangzhou was a place to stay, and most of the soldiers were from the northwest, they specially "founded the Washe and convened prostitutes outside the city to be a place for the soldiers to entertain in their spare time".

After Lin'an was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the tile house developed rapidly, and there were as many as 17 tiles in the city, and all kinds of tricks and arts were numerous, too many to mention.

Liu Min, Wang Zhou, Gong Huangxing, and Granny Shen had seen the Goolan tile house of Daxiangguo Temple, and suddenly an idea came to mind - Doutai.

What is a Doutai? It is two plays facing each other on stage and singing, which one has more audience in front of the stage and which one is the winner.

Liu Min chose Sangjia Wazi to fight in the ring, and Sangjia Wazi is the largest one in Daxiangguo Temple; Coincidentally, this day is the 43rd birthday of Emperor Zhao Guangyi; The burning orchestra of Daxiangguo Temple and those famous actors in Bianjing City all gathered in Sangjia Wazi to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and Zhao Dechang, the third prince of Song Taizong, and his entourage Zhang Qi and his gang also mixed in the gang to watch the excitement.

Zhao Dechang is the later Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, born on December 2 (December 23) in the sixth year of Qiande (968 AD) in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, is the third son of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong; and the eldest brother Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, is the same brother.

Zhao Heng's first name was Zhao Dechang, who was wise when he was a child, and his appearance was peculiar; When playing with the kings, he likes to fight in the form of a battle formation, and calls himself "marshal"; Song Taizu loved Zhao Heng and raised him in the palace.

In the eighth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Northern Song Dynasty (983), Zhao Heng was awarded the title of Taibao of the inspection school, and the Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen was named the King of Han, and his name was changed to Zhao Yuanxiu.

In July of the third year of Yongxi (986), he changed his name to Zhao Yuankan, and in the first year of Duangong (988), he was crowned King Xiang; In September of the fifth year of Chunhua (994), he entered the king of Shou, and inspected the school Taifu and Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

The political affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are complicated, Zhao Heng pays attention to the prison lawsuits, and the verdict is severe, and there is no one who is not praised by everyone. Therefore, the prison in Kaifeng was idle many times, and Taizong issued edicts to praise him many times.

In the first year of Dao (995), Zhao Yuankan was made the crown prince and renamed Zhao Heng, and he was still the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Heng was neither the eldest son of Taizong nor the empress; Originally, it was not his turn to succeed to the throne, but his eldest brother Zhao Yuanzuo went crazy due to the death of his uncle Zhao Tingmei, and his second brother Zhao Yuanxi died violently without illness, so he was fortunate to become the crown prince.

According to convention, as the crown prince, Zhao Heng's position in the palace was above the prime minister; The subordinates of the East Palace are called ministers, and Zhao Heng does not accept them.

Zhao Heng saw that Li Zhi and Li Xin, the prince's guests who tutored him, must bow first, and ushered in the steps outside the palace gate.

Liu Min chose the street at the entrance of Sangjia Wazi as the venue for the performance, wearing a feather coat and a neon dress; A dozen bird feathers were also pasted on it, which seemed like a creative idea; It is also to try to return the image of Yang Guifei back then.

Liu Min saw Yang Guifei's "Shadow Dress Dance" in Wuzhi Mountain, the clothes seemed to be made of silk but light as a feather; It may also be made of feathers.

In Bai Juyi's "Dance Song of Ni Clothes and Feather Clothes", the word "feather" about the feather coat is only mentioned in two places; Both places are used to talk about the neon clothes and feathers, and to tell the name of the dance; The word "feather" is not mentioned anywhere else, and there is no mention of the image of feather and the texture of "feather" in any place. So it should be said that Bai Juyi has never seen a real feather coat.

In fact, although Yang Guifei's neon dress and feather coat was only worn on a specific group of people in a specific period, it involved a long history and many women.

It can be said that the neon dress and feather coat is the embodiment of a psychological desire of ancient women; It interprets the mainstream aesthetic trend of ancient Chinese skirts.

Whether it is Princess Anle's extravagant bird skirt or Yang Guifei's gorgeous neon feather coat, it is closely related to the feathers of birds.

Even if the feather coat is not made of feathers, it still has to be called "feather coat......
