Chinese New Year's Eve!

"Hang the lantern!"

Xiao Qi rode on Pei Min's shoulder, struggling to carry the red lantern in his hand, and hung a lantern the size of half her body in front of the house with a stiff face.

"Hung up, hung up!" Xiao Qi clapped his hands happily and laughed, his originally struggling expression was happy.

"One on one side, Hachi, do you want to try it too?" Pei Min looked at his beloved son, his eyes were full of encouragement.

"Yes, Hachi too!" Little Eight was eager to try, and plucked up the courage to say loudly.

"This is my good son!" Pei Min laughed, went down the stairs, put Xiao Qi down, took the red lantern from Jiao Chen's hand, and handed it to Xiao Ba.

As a boy, Xiao Ba is better than Xiao Qi in terms of strength, and he seems to have more spare strength.

Pei Min carried Xiaoba on his shoulders and helped him climb the ladder.

Stop at the appropriate seat and let Hachi hang the red lantern as he likes.

Chinese New Year's Eve is a celebration of the old and the new.

In the 21st century, most of the families at this point get together to play cards and chat to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Although the Spring Festival Gala has a momentum that is not as good as the year of the year, out of habit and nostalgia, the Spring Festival Gala is always the only program for Chinese New Year's Eve at home.

It's just that now in the Tang Dynasty, the Spring Festival Gala has no chance to watch it again, Pei Min followed the customs of the countryside and lived a unique Chinese New Year's Eve with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty paid far less attention to Chinese New Year's Eve than to later generations, and according to custom, every household would clean the courtyard on this day, welcome the ancestors home for the New Year, and worship rice cakes and three animals.

Keeping the New Year, setting off firecrackers, sticking door gods, and hanging lanterns are the four programs that every household must do.

In order to cultivate the hands-on ability of Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, Pei Min handed over the work of hanging lanterns in the house to Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba.

After the two little guys were psychic, it was the first time to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, and they also seemed very excited and motivated.

The door gods of this era are not Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, these two big men in the early Tang Dynasty, they became door gods because of the birth of "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

The door gods of the Tang Dynasty were called gods and Yu Lei, who specialized in managing ghosts and evil things, and could drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, so they were respected by the world.

The so-called door god is not a portrait of the door god in later generations, but a human figure carved from a template, and the template is placed on the door. The formwork is also made of peach wood, which is regarded as an evil repellent plant, and the two are matched and powerful.

Regarding the theory of ghosts and gods, Pei Min, who came through the time, also had a sense of awe, and did not dare to slack off on this custom.

After doing all this and worshipping the ancestors, the family got together to chat and celebrate the New Year.

Since there were no after-shows, the New Year's Eve in the Tang Dynasty could be regarded as a kind of torment.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba couldn't stay up after playing with fireworks, and leaned on Pei Min and Jiao Chen to sleep respectively.

Pei Min, Pei Mu, and Jiao Chen were talking together.

The three of them talked about Meng Chun tomorrow, and Pei's mother said: "Tomorrow morning, my mother will also enter the palace, and the queen invites her to participate in the sacrifice together." I heard that this celebration was extraordinarily grand, and all the envoys of other countries in the surrounding area were invited. You are responsible for this grand event, but don't make any mistakes. ”

Jiao Chen smiled: "Mother don't worry, when did Lang Jun go wrong?" ”

"Or Madame understands me! Don't worry, tomorrow, it will definitely surprise your boss, just don't be scared. ”

Mengchun is the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty and the first month of spring.

The Spring Festival, traditionally known as New Year, New Year, and New Year, has a history of four or five thousand years in China.

The Spring Festival of the past dynasties, the time is different, the Xia Dynasty used Meng Chun, the Shang Dynasty was the month of La, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries after stipulating that October was the first month, the Tang Dynasty followed the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, astronomers Luo Hong, Deng Ping formulated the "Taichu Calendar", headed by Meng Chun.

After a long period of development, the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty has been much the same as the Spring Festival of later generations.

From New Year's Day to the last Yuan Festival, these fifteen days belong to the New Year's carnival.

Especially on the Shangyuan Festival, the last three days after the end of the New Year, the entire Chang'an and Luoyang will cancel the curfew, allowing the people of the city and the tourists from the surrounding areas to carnival all night.

Shangyuan Festival is undoubtedly the grandest and most celebrated festival of the year.

But the important thing is New Year's Day, the first day of the new year, which is the best time to worship the heavens and pray for the new year.

The ancients regarded the change of seasons, wind, rain and drought as instructions from heaven.

In order to receive the mercy of the heavens, it is essential to pray to the heavens and pray for the New Year.

From Li Longji, the Son of Heaven, to the common people, they all sacrificed to the sky and begged for good weather.

This year's Meng Chun Festival is obviously more grand!

The weather didn't seem to be very good, there was a light snow last night, and a strong wind this morning.

Wind and snow!

But this time has not diminished the enthusiasm of the people.

Everyone in Chang'an knows that today is the day when hundreds of officials will meet. It is actually the first grand occasion after Taizong and Gaozong.

Everyone is proud of it!

Early in the morning!

Li Longji wore a luxurious gown and ascended to the Chengtian Gate.

Moslemassa, the prince of the Great Eclipse Kingdom, the Byzantine Governor Stinian, the young lord of the Turgish, Vebiga, the deputy minister of Tibet, Long Langchi, the patriarch of the Qarluq, Ashina Shiwei, the patriarch of the Uighurs, the prime minister of Nanzhao, the kings of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, and the envoys of the Silla and Wa kingdoms were located on the left side of Li Longji.

Up to the princes of the clan, the princes of the princes, Song Jing, Su Ying, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Shuo, Lu Huaishen, Pei Min and other prime ministers and important ministers are located near the right. All the martial arts relatives and nobles in Beijing, the six Shangshu, the squire, the foreign minister, the chief and the officials of the three temples and nine qing, and all the civil and military ministers of the rank in Beijing also came.

Finally, there are some special groups of people. Not in the ranks of the clan, Wenchen, and Wuxun, but the status is so high that even Li Longji has to respect one or two, it is the descendants of Confucius, the head of the Shilin of the world, Kong Delun and Kong Huiyuan.

They all waited for the arrival of the army.

According to the original practice, as long as the civil and military officials were assembled, Li Longji rushed to the Temple of Heaven under the leadership of Wan Cai and Long Wu Jun to worship the heavens.

Pei Min added a ceremony similar to a military parade here, just like the entrance of the opening ceremony, the army rushed to Chengtian Gate from afar, joined Li Longji, and the three armies escorted Li Longji to the Temple of Heaven.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Before people arrive, the ground shakes first!

The earth seemed to tremble, shaking like never before.

There was a frenzy in Li Longji's eyes, and Song Jing, Su Ying, and Zhang Jiazhen were shocked.

Mosley Masa, Justinian, Webbiga, Long Langchi, Ashina Shiwei, Chengzong and others all looked at the shadows in the wind and snow in a daze, and their expressions gradually became heavier.

Especially Mosley Massa and Justinian, both of whom are veteran generals in the army, saw the iron-blooded aura in the distance, and only a hundred battles have this kind of spirit.

Pei Min looked at it with a little pride: the soldiers and horses in front of him were not the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, but his soldiers...... The First Army on the Edge of Town: Shence Army!
