It is said that someone in later generations made a boring statistic: choose what you think is the greatest ancient poet.

Qu Yuan was elected No.1 with the highest vote, and the reason is very good: other great poets have left us a lot of poems and allusions to memorize, and only Qu Yuan brought us a holiday. This holiday is naturally the "Dragon Boat Festival".

According to the Song people's "Miscellaneous Records of the Year", the people of Bianjing called the first day of the fifth month as the end one, the second day of the first month as the end two, and the number to five, which is called the end five. End means beginning; Five and noon are universal, so it is called the Dragon Boat Festival. This day is not only a commemoration of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, but also a festival to expel the plague god. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the festival activities are rich and colorful, and all young and old have the opportunity to participate in activities, such as making zongzi is a matter for women; Writing Dragon Boat Festival stickers is the business of literati and writers; It is the children's business to hang the wisps of fate; Selling festive items is the business of the businessman...... Its customs are basically the same as those of later generations.

In May, the weather was suddenly hot and full of diseases, and the ancients called it "Evil Moon". Therefore, the custom of hanging the portrait of Zhang Tianshi or Zhong Kui on the door and hanging calamus and wormwood was very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Su Zhe's "Dragon Boat Festival Post of the Academy of Sciences: Imperial Concubine Pavilion" cloud: "The imperial doctor competes for the Heavenly Master Ai, and the Ruiwu is long lingering in Yao's mother's door." "Zhang Tianshi is Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, known as the Heavenly Master, who can catch demons and ward off evil spirits. The ancients had long made mugwort from the old leaves of wormwood, which was used to moxibustion to remove diseases, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, mugwort was hung on the door to poison gas. The calamus hung on the lintel like a sharp sword, and the ghost did not dare to come to the door to harass it.

Jinxi is close to the ancestral court of Zhengyi Sect Longhu Mountain, and there are many Taoist believers. Because of that Longhu Mountain Taoism, the twenty-fifth generation of the heavenly master Zhang Ganyao was quiet and silent, and he cultivated internally. In the eighth year of Tiansheng (1030), Renzong summoned him to Que and asked about the matter, and said: "This is not a matter of auxiliary politics and religion, Your Majesty can return to simplicity and make the world peaceful if it is simple. ”

Shang Jiazhi, give the number. Please enlist, Shao Chongzhi.

Translated, Zhang Ganyao Heavenly Master convinced Emperor Renzong with his noble character of indifference to fame and fortune. He asked the emperor to exempt him from taxes and labor in the Longhu Mountain area for a period of time, and the emperor granted it, and the people respected him very much. Even with Zhang Daoling's fame, the reputation of Heavenly Master has risen slightly. However, the emperor only gave the title of "Mr. Chengsu", and the title of Heavenly Master is folk and is not officially recognized.

At that time, there was a unique Dragon Boat Festival custom around Longhu Mountain, which was deeply influenced by the Tao of the Heavenly Master. According to the "Guangji of the Year" compiled by Chen Yuanliang of the Southern Song Dynasty, "He Ni is Zhang Tianshi, with Ai as the head and garlic as the fist, and placed on the portal." Zhang Tianshi can also be regarded as a guest appearance in the work of a door god.

Fang Zhongyong had a happy Dragon Boat Festival with his family and was about to leave for Hongzhou.

The Jinxi Road Hongzhou winds for nearly a thousand miles (not a straight line distance), and it takes a month to walk alone. Even if there is a car and horse from the county lord, plus the "intelligent navigation system" Uncle Zhong and the "old driver" Li San, there has been no delay on the road. When I arrived outside Hongzhou, twenty days had passed.

Along the way, there were people sleepy and sleepy.

finally saw the shadow of Hongzhou City, and Fang Zhongyong's heart was suddenly discharged.

The so-called person who travels a hundred miles is half of ninety, and the end of the road is also difficult.

A few days ago, I braved the rain and really suffered a lot, and when I saw Hongzhou in sight, I didn't want to move a step.

There is a pavilion outside the city of Hongzhou, called "Ten Mile Pavilion", which is specially used for pedestrians to rest. Then they went into the pavilion to rest. Uncle Zhong boiled water for cooking, and Li San "maintained the vehicle" - feeding the horses and wiping the car.

Fang Zhongyong wanted to step forward to help, but was dissuaded by Uncle Zhong: "This is all within the villain's responsibility, don't dare to bother the son." Childe went to rest for a while and took a look at the scenery. ”

Fang Zhongyong didn't insist, "there is a specialization in the art industry", and he can't do better than them, so don't add to the chaos. Finding a reason to be lazy, Fang Zhongyong walked along the stream next to the pavilion.

Along the way, I saw a lot of heavy social realities of "the rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand", and then looked at the green mountains and green waters, and the mood was extremely good. Heaven is also beautiful, although it is close to the sky, there is still a cool breeze. The sun is also "holding the pipa and half covering its face", hiding behind the clouds from time to time, and does not have to show a big cake face to tan people into a big cake. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight fall on the lotus pond not far away.

The lotus flowers are blooming brightly, and when they are illuminated by the sun, they are even more enchanting. Fang Zhongyong loved that scene, and couldn't help but think of Yang Wanli's "Lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun", and recited it casually.

I didn't think about it, but I heard a sneer.

When I turned around, I saw an oil wall incense car parked on the side of the road at some point, and a maid stood next to the car. As for why it is said to be a maid, not a young lady, have you ever seen a maid in a car, a young lady with legs (Beijing dialect, walking)? Of course, although she is a maid, her appearance is still not low, and she is at the level of a pure natural beauty without beauty and no filter that can be seen on the street in later generations.

Beauty has privileges!

Fang Zhongyong gave a salute and said, "Fang Cai is a little lady laughing? ”

The little beauty stands proudly (please note the word erect): "It's me laughing." Laugh at you for being rigid and making a lot of nonsense. ”

Fang Zhongyongqi said: "How can Xiaosheng be rigid and make a lot of nonsense? ”

The little maid was very interested in being a teacher: "The lotus pond is only one acre, how can it be 'connected to the sky', and where is there any 'infinity'?" As for the special red of the lotus flower under the sun, do you need to say? It must be that your stomach is empty, and you have to learn from other people's talented people to chant poems, so you recited two nonsense poems. ”

Seeing that Yang Wanli's famous sentence was about to become "like bullshit, worth smelling" under the description of the little maid, Fang Zhongyong was also very helpless. As for reasoning with beauties, Cao Yunjin's version of "never considerate, never gentle, never understanding, can't speak, can't beat, can't scold, can't provoke" Xinsan understands from the four virtues?

Anyway, Fang Zhongyong didn't plan to explain to the little beauty, the role of exaggeration in poetry and the beauty of Wang Wei's "long river sunset", because that would cause more blows and irony.

He fought back slightly: "The little lady also understands poetry? "The subtext is that serving your young lady well now and your aunt in the future is your entire business scope, and you care about poetry?

Fang Zhongyong had tried his best to be tactful, but he still saw a more arrogant expression: "Do you know the poetry of the Zheng family?" ”

Yo, this one is really a little knowledgeable.

The allusion to the Zheng family's poetry and maid comes from "The World Speaks New Language and Literature": Zheng Xuan's slaves and maids all read. Taste one, do not meet the purpose, will tart it, Fang Zichen said. Xuan anger makes people drag in the mud. Suddenly, another maid came and asked, "What are you doing in the mud?" He replied: "Bo Yan is angry, and he is angry." This question and answer are all from the Book of Songs, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without the House of Poetry.

Fang Zhongyong felt that this little girl was very cute and cute (it's not that he looks at people's parents and despises him!). Then he became naughty and joked: "Your master's surname is Zheng? ”

The little maid laughed: "Sure enough, he is a person who doesn't learn and doesn't even know "The World"? Just as he was about to say the 10,000-word derogatory word, two coughs came from inside the oil wall incense car.

The little maid remembered her own work, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Miss, have you committed the cold again?" ”

The person in the car scolded: "It was almost better, but I was angry with you again." You've only read a few books, and you dare to make an axe? Don't quit yet! ”

The person in the car raised his voice and said: "The little woman has no way to discipline her, and there are many rudeness in the subordinates, please forgive me." ”

At this time, it was clear that Fang Zhongyong was not a real warrior. Mr. Lu Xun has clouds, and he is a real warrior who dares to face the bleak life. Hu scum, a real warrior, a little girl with guts, and Miss Tiaoxi with guts. (I won't tell you that I wrote this sentence with my swollen face over someone.) ）

Fang Zhongyong said a little embarrassedly: "It's under Meng Lang, please forgive me." "Decisively.

The young lady said, "Childe doesn't have to be polite. The subordinates are ignorant, they don't know the genius of the son, and they don't understand the true meaning of the poem, which makes the son laugh. When he returns to the house, he will be severely punished. ”

The little maid said coquettishly: "Miss......"

Fang Zhongyong didn't want the little beauty to be spanked, so he hurriedly pleaded: "The noble maid is delicate and lovely, innocent. It's a little joke, but it doesn't have to be taken seriously. Dare to ask the young lady to forgive her, so as not to feel guilty. ”

The young lady said: "Since the son is generous, it is not enough to punish her, just copy the poem ten times." Cat slave, thank you Childe yet. ”

Fang Zhongyong didn't know if he was worthy of thanks, probably not. The whole text of the "Book of Songs" is about 40,000 words, and ten times is 400,000 words. With a brush, writing a small letter, and writing 400,000 words, are you going to tire out the little beauty or are you going to train calligraphers?

Seeing that the little maid's eyes were red aggrieved, and she wanted to thank herself under the "obscenity" of the young lady, Fang Zhongyong felt that she was impure, bad, and a bad person.

The young lady waited for the maid to "thank you" and said, "Looking at the son's outfit, he should be a scholar who went to Hongzhou to take the exam." The little woman is here to wish the childe a smooth field. By the way, I was born in Linchuan, Fuzhou, and Yan's family in Wengang Township. It's not the Zheng family, don't be mistaken. With that, the group walked away.

There is character! I like it! By the way, she seemed to say something in the end that she was born in the Yan family of Wengang Township, Linchuan, Fuzhou. Linchuan's surname Yan is also famous for Yan Shu, and now he is a political governor. (Note: Yan Shu ate soil in Bozhou at this time, and the plot needed to be slightly changed.) Wengang Township or something, I don't know, ask Uncle Zhong!

When asked, Uncle Zhong's face was full of admiration: "Nawengang Township is Yan Shen's hometown, son, you have met a nobleman." The lady in the car must be the lady of the Yan Mansion, but I don't know which lady it is? ”

Needless to say, looking at Uncle Zhong's obscene expression, it must be in YY's cliché story of "Fang Gongzi marries Bai Fumei and walks to the pinnacle of life".
