The scenery of Zhongshan is similar, and the people are different every year.

Ching ming festival.

Today is another annual group entertainment activity for the elite---- spring outing.

The Ming Dynasty's record of the spring outing, one said that it was the Shangsi Festival, the other said that it was the Qingming Festival, and the Qingming Festival was used here for the following reasons.

According to the historical records, the origin of the Shangsi Festival and the north, commonly known as the third of March, is the traditional festival of the ancient Chinese folk, is the most important festival in the ancient holding of the "cleansing and bathing" activities, people go to the waterside to bathe together, called "purification", and then added the sacrificial feast and drink, the flow of the water, the suburbs and other contents.

Shangsi Festival prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period, spread to the Three Kingdoms, to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, due to the fashion of advocating nature and indulging in mountains and rivers in the society at that time, for people, the meaning of Shangsi Festival was greatly weakened, and the meaning of welcoming spring and enjoying the tour became more and more intense.

After arriving in the Song Dynasty, the March 3rd Shangsi Festival suddenly disappeared in the north and was not recorded in the literature. Although after the Song Dynasty, the "March 3rd" Shangsi Festival is not recorded in the literature, but it is only circulated in some parts of the southwest, and it is impossible to check whether Nanjing is included in it.

Therefore, in line with an objective and fair attitude, drunk lying on the river to make a claim, it is set as the Qingming Festival, if there is any error, please book friends Haihan Ze.

But no matter which time node, it is always the best time for the powerful to take the opportunity to enjoy the mountains and rivers, experience the grassroots life, and celebrate with the people!

When the Ming Dynasty was first founded, Emperor Hongwu showed the peace and prosperity of the world, highlighting the generosity of the people and the people, and took the ministers on a spring outing together during the Qingming Dynasty, and left a couplet in the history books: "Jinling City helps the old and the young, and the whole family goes out; Niushou Mountain is full of green tents, and the flow of people is like a tide". In addition, according to the Ming "Jiangning County Chronicle": "Take the wine to the mountain, the south of the city Yuhuatai is the most prosperous, it is said to go to the green, and the daily visitors return late like ants."

During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

By asking where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

With the head-scratching and posture of the magnates who usually scatter eagles and catch rabbits, how can such a major festival not be lively?

A group of generals led by Xu Pengju walked slowly in the forefront with a calm official step, all of them frowned and whiskered, and their old faces were full of reserve, as if they were literary, chatting happily, and their subtle and steady attitude made a group of literati nod their heads and praise from time to time, and after looking at each other and smiling, they invariably gave countless big praises to the excellent spiritual civilization quality of the magnates.

But the reserve seems to have an expiration date, and the next scene stunned the literati.........

When he met the graceful and graceful yellow flower girl, the reserved image of the magnates who pretended to be very hard, they immediately revealed their original form, and laughed wantonly at people with their old faces, which provoked the young girls to hide their faces and be ashamed, and the scene was once explicit and hot; The literati led by Shen Kun, the priest of the country, hid their faces and sighed, and then looked at a group of military generals who seemed to have entered the village, and suddenly there was a sadness that they did not know people. Everyone is a civilized person, how can they stand such a restless and noisy activity.

Shen Kun and other literati have a hard time, every year Xu Pengju sends people to invite, they all excuse themselves to shirk, anyway, they don't want to go along with these lustful dogs. However, the people of the public mansion please not move, a certain surname Xu will put on a full guard of honor to knock on the door, and everyone will simply carry them up and stuff them into a sedan chair and run, let them shout and scold, ignore it, swagger all the way through the city, and return to the house with victory like robbing Mrs. Zhai.

When a group of old goods yelled at five and drank six, swaggering in front of them to tease the women, Shen Kun and the others hung their heads, like hostages who had been kidnapped, just waiting for the old goods to be in a bad mood and tear up the tickets with a click.

Ay! Once a year...... Once a year, I was tied up again today, for this entertainment to death program, the life value of 'mighty and unyielding' is exhausted, and in the future, I will be poked in the back by Jiangnan Shilin students, and my old face will be lost.

The spring outing is still full of strong charm.

There are still those kinds of playthings, nothing outstanding, but the careful Shen Kun still found that there is one more funniness utensil--- shooting willows, so he smacked his tongue, trembled and pointed at Xu Pengju, and was about to scold, Xu Pengju was not to be outdone, staring at his big eyes and snorting heavily: "Thinking about it day and night, what happened to the old man's new invention?" Questions? ”

Then he talked about this new way of playing triumphantly, and then made Shen Kun angry.

Shooting willow, also known as "Zha Willow", that is, shooting willow branches with bows and arrows, is a kind of archery activity in ancient China, it is an elegant artifact of literati leisure and entertainment, after Xu Pengju's reform, the style of shooting willow is richer and at the same time adds a lot of bloody taste: hide the pigeon in the gourd, hang it on the willow branch, the gourd is shot and automatically open, and then the pigeon flies out of it, and judges the victory by the height of the pigeon's flight.

The idea is good, but as long as there is a slight deviation in archery, the pigeon's life will be suspended, which is also what Shen Kun and other literati who do not like to kill must condemn.

The game of shooting willows has been around since ancient times, but it can be reformed and innovated by Xu Pengju to make it more entertaining and forward-looking, and I have to say how powerful these elites are to invent and create after they have nothing to do.

The entertainment style of the powerful is different from that of the literati, the literati are gentle and elegant when they are entertained, which is called 'cultivating sentiments', and the entertainment of the powerful is bohemian, which can only be called 'dancing with demons'.

Shen Kun and others hurriedly fulfilled the mission of supervising and refereeing, and when they encountered those who did not abide by the rules of the competition, they stepped forward to criticize and comment in the style of a meal, which made the elites confused for a long time and did not understand what it meant......

As soon as the results of the competition came out, the atmosphere of the spring outing also reached a climax, not surprisingly, the results of the Xu family were a mess, temporarily at the bottom, so anxious that the two brothers Xu Bangning and Xu Bangrui stomped their feet again and again.

Xu Pengju shouted loudly, shouting for his subordinates to set up the willow shooting equipment, intending to dominate the crowd in this finale project.

The willow shooting game is not something that ordinary people can play, it is a perfect combination of archery skills and skills, and the strength is great, and the pigeon in the gourd will inevitably be burned; The strength is small, the gourd can't shoot, and the pigeon has nowhere to escape. Therefore, it has already involved the scientific theory of engineering mechanics and gravitation, so it is no wonder that Xu Pengju is complacent.

Xu Peng's strength and accuracy were used perfectly, and several gourds were fluttered away, and the pigeon was ignorant for a while, spreading its wings and flying, attracting the applause of the surrounding magnates.

"Good archery." Several children of the Xu family next to him clapped loudly, and the most cheerful one was the second son Xu Bangning.

Xu Pengju also belongs to the character of people who come crazy, seeing some people cheering, the energy of archery is greater, and one arrow is more accurate than one arrow, and the pigeon is more energetic.

Of course, there are also those who are not convinced, a few magnates led by Liu Shiyan, who are sincere, snorted a few times, the Malaysian golden knife snatched the bow and arrow, a few arrows went out, and the pigeon spread its wings and flew high, flying higher than Xu Pengju's pigeon, and Xu Pengju obviously lost.

Xu Pengju's heart was uneven, he turned his head and glared at Xu Bangrui, threw the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted: "Bangrui, you come, give this old man some color."

The bow and arrow went to the great power, and flew towards Xu Bangrui in a sharp arc in the air, worthy of being a tiger in the door, Xu Bangrui's face did not change, he snatched it from his hand, grasped it firmly in his hand, and smiled presumptuously: "Daddy, don't worry, the child's bow and arrow skills can be returned, and when the child wins back a game, he will have a long face for his father."

After that, he drew his bow and arrow, aimed at the gourd fifty meters in front of him, and with a whoosh, the arrow broke away......

The magnates held their breath and stared, tsk, this bearing, this momentum, sure enough, it seems that the door is ......

So the gourd in front didn't move.

Apparently...... Shot missed.

Puff ~ Puff, bursts of uncomfortable laughter sounded around him, and the momentum was very high, but this level was ....... Gee.

Xu Peng's face darkened, and he looked at the great prince who had gone away, the wide sleeves of his robe trembled slightly, if nothing else, the big fists of the sand bowl were already clenched tightly, and the flame of righteousness and annihilation was ignited.
