The people of the Great Song Dynasty are very good at enjoying, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Shangyuan Festival, during this time, the government does not open the government, the shops do not open, the people do not go to work, and people are enjoying the most leisurely time of the year.

Zhong Hao didn't have such a leisurely time, although he just wanted to try his luck in the "lock hall test", but before the exam, he still felt that he should seriously sharpen his gun, because in the past half a month, except for most of the time after going out to Ouyang Xiu and Di Qing to worship Ouyang Xiu and Di Qing on the first day of the new year, Zhong Hao was studying in his own comfortable nest. Except that he was called to the house by Ouyang Xiu once.
When Ouyang Xiu looked through the New Year's greeting book and signed it, he saw Zhong Hao and asked the servants to come and invite Zhong Hao to sit down the next day. I heard that Zhong Hao came to participate in the "Lock Hall Test", but Ouyang Xiu really gave Zhong Hao a good reminder.
Zhong Hao not only expressed his admiration for Ouyang Gong, but also thanked him for his recommendation. Of course, he also brought greetings for his father-in-law and Yu Jing.
…………
Shangyuan Festival is another carnival festival for the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
After being stuffy in the fine house for half a month, Zhong Hao decided to go out for a walk today.
The real excitement of the Shangyuan Festival can not be seen until the evening, but there are many places that are lively during the day. For example, there is Daxiangguoji Temple.?
Shangyuan Festival is the day of the trade of all surnames in Daxiangguo Temple. Of course, there are several times a month when the surname of Daxiangguo Temple is traded, but this time of the Shangyuan Festival is the largest of the year.
So today, Zhong Hao decided to go to Daxiangguo Temple today.
With the embarrassment of shopping with Yang Huaiyu last time, Zhong Hao naturally won't return to the same mistake this time. It's more interesting to go shopping or bring a female companion, because he took Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing with two little girls today.
Zhong Hao took Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing out of Yang's mansion, and saw that the streets and alleys were already lively. Although the evening is the climax of the carnival and excitement of the Shangyuan Festival. But at this time, dragon and lion dances, stilt performances, and jugglers were already everywhere on the streets.
It still feels good to go shopping with beauty, this time Zhong Hao hugged left and right, and took two little beauties shopping, it feels really good.
Zhong Hao has also heard of its name for a long time in Daxiangguo Temple, and he remembers that Lu Zhishen plucked the weeping willows, which was in this temple, and he was quite looking forward to seeing it.
Although the Great Song Dynasty was the era when scholars and officials shared the world, and scholars were in power and Confucianism was dominant, the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism at this time gradually merged, and there were fewer disputes in the past, and Buddhism also developed greatly.
There are also many large and small Buddhist temples in Tokyo, and among the many Buddhist temples, the most famous are Sokoku-ji Temple, Kaiho-ji Temple, Tianseong-ji Temple, and Taiheek-koku-ji Temple, which are known as the four major temples in Tokyo.
These four temples are also most famous for the Great Xiangguo Temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple in Bianliang, Tokyo, and has a higher status than the other three temples.
Daxiangguo Temple was founded in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was formerly known as Jianguo Temple. It is said to have been built on the former residence of Shinling-kun, who "stole talismans to save Zhao". After the temple was destroyed in the war, Tang Jingyun rebuilt it in the second year. In the first year of Yanhe, Tang Ruizong changed the name of the temple to Daxiangguo Temple, and the imperial book "Daxiangguo Temple" to commemorate his becoming emperor from Xiangwang.
To the Song Dynasty, the Great Xiangguo Temple has been repeatedly added and repaired, becoming the largest royal temple in the country, the whole temple covers an area of more than 500 acres, has jurisdiction over 64 Zen temples, law institutes, more than 1,000 monks, its buildings are brilliant and magnificent, have the reputation of "golden and splendid, clouds and clouds are disfigured".
At the same time, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple was conferred by the emperor. The emperor's weekday tour, prayer, thanksgiving, and even the inscription of the Jinshi are also held here, so the Great Xiangguo Temple is also called the "Royal Temple". Because of the emperor's worship, the status is increasingly high, the world is famous, and it is located in the center of Bianliang City, the incense is prosperous, and it is very prosperous.
The temple is open five times a month for the common people to trade. Due to the strong influence of Daxiangguo Temple in the Great Song Dynasty, the trade of 10,000 surnames in Daxiangguo Temple soon became the first bazaar in the entire Bianliang and even the Great Song Dynasty.
As a result, with the passage of time, the functions of Daxiangguo Temple gradually changed, from the original simple Buddhist shrine to a thriving commercial market.
When Zhong Hao took Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, two little maids, to the front of Daxiangguo Temple, it was already crowded with people, and it was very lively. On weekdays, the transaction of the surnames of the Great Xiangguo Temple is already lively enough, and today it is the Shangyuan Festival, so it is even more lively.
Today, the people who are just trading in the Great Xiangguo Temple are already full of mountains and valleys, and if you want to enter the Great Xiangguo Temple, you need to go through many obstacles. Zhong Hao was afraid that he would be separated from Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao, so the three of them held hands and squeezed forward together. It took a lot of effort to enter the inside of the Great Xiangguo Temple from the periphery of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
Zhong Hao took Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and saw that there were birds, cats, dogs, and exotic beasts in front of the majestic palace, which was simply a pet trading market.
Entering the second and third gates, they saw that in front of the various temples, there were mostly daily gadgets and miscellaneous items......
In turn, there are curtains, saddle bridles, bows and arrows, embroidery, seasonal melons and fruits, dried bacon, as long as you can think of it, you basically have everything......
Inside near the Buddha hall, what Mengjia Daoguan, Wang Daoren candied fruit, Zhao Wenxiubi, Pan Gumo...... The old-fashioned signboards are becoming more and more cultural......
In the Daxiangguo Temple, in the bustling crowd, Zhong Hao took Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao to shuttle around, looking around to see the strange. Rao is Zhong Hao is a person from later generations, and he has seen a lot more strange things than people in this era, but he still keeps seeing all kinds of rare things, and he really feels a little dizzying.
As for Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, although they have been in Tokyo for a long time, they are people's maids and little girls after all, and it is easy to have the opportunity to visit such a large-scale trading fair, and it is rare to see anything, and they continue to let out all kinds of exclamations.
"This Daxiangguo Temple's transaction of ten thousand surnames is really lively!" Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Compared with the famous commercial street in later generations, this is a completely different kind of prosperity and prosperity, which is unique!
In the Great Xiangguo Temple, Zhong Hao took Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, and from time to time in front of a small stall, playing with various gadgets and tasting all kinds of different snacks!
The three of them didn't wander around for long, and there were already a lot of things on their bodies and hands, including all kinds of gadgets and a lot of food.
In the temple of Daxiangguo, in addition to various commodity transactions, there is also a variety of performances. There are not only all kinds of juggling performances and scripts of the lower riba people, but also all kinds of poems and inscriptions in spring and snow!
Zhong Hao took Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao all the way, and from time to time he heard the two little girls' surprises and wonderful juggling cheers when they saw all kinds of things they had never seen, and of course, there was also their laughter when they heard those storytellers talk about their burdens
The three of them walked around the market and watched the performance, all the way to the Great Xiangguo Temple.
Seeing the brilliant performances along the way, Zhong Hao didn't forget to reward a few coins, he felt that he was now an official with status, but he couldn't just watch the performance and not give a reward.
When you walk into the corridors on both sides of the Daeungbojeon Hall of Daxiangguoji Temple, there are already many people gathered here, and it is very lively.
The two of them went in to see that in the corridors on both sides of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple, there are inscriptions of famous artists of this dynasty, as well as Buddhist characters and story paintings, which are very exquisite.
Because the Great Xiangguo Temple has an extraordinary influence in Bianjing City, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty, it is definitely an honor to be able to inscribe in the Great Xiangguo Temple, which is admired by people.
Of course, not anyone's calligraphy and painting can be inscribed on this poem and painting. On the day of the trade of 10,000 surnames, a large number of literati will gather here to compete with each other in poetry, calligraphy and painting skills. Only high-quality poems, calligraphy and paintings can be inscribed in the corridor of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
It is precisely for this reason that when it is not the time of the trade of the surnames of the Great Xiangguo Temple, there are always many scholars here who compete in the Xiangguo Temple to test poetry and painting skills, in order to leave a name on the wall and become famous in Tokyo, which is undoubtedly a shortcut to fame.
When Zhong Hao, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Xing passed by the place where the literati competed, there were already many people watching!
The people of the Great Song Dynasty have an inexplicable admiration for literati. Therefore, this kind of public competition of poetry can always attract countless vassal and elegant people to watch.
Zhong Hao's own level is limited, in addition to being able to write, this poetry, calligraphy and painting are not very good, so he is not too interested in this talent competition. In his opinion, it is better to watch juggling performances, listen to speeches, and comment on books than poetry. Well, of course, it is also related to Zhong Hao's fear of being exposed to his identity as a copyist.
However, Xiao Xing and Xiao Tao, the two little girls, were full of interest in the competition of these literati, so they had to pull Zhong Hao to stop and watch! Alas, it seems that the literary style of this era ~ Liucai is indeed the favorite of girls, and even little girls like Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing are inevitably affected.
Zhong Hao looked at the pitiful request of the two little girls, and naturally agreed without restraint.
Xiao Tao looked at Zhong Hao with admiration in her eyes, and said crisply: "Childe, you are also such a great talent, do you want to compose a lyric?" There are so many people here today, but it will soon become famous. Zhong Hao studied in the West Courtyard of the Yang Family, and worked with the two little maids all day long, in order to make the little maids worship, he did not make some flirting and ostentatious poems. Although the level of those poems is very average, in the eyes of the two little girls, they have already decided that their son-in-law is a great talent.
Zhong Hao touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Son, I don't want to be famous, there is no benefit, and it will bring a lot of trouble." "Those talented literati do poetry competitions here and strive to become famous, most of them are for the sake of making it easier during scientific examinations. Zhong Hao didn't want to and didn't have the strength to go to the scientific examination, so he was interested in competing with this literati.
Xiao Xing grinned and said: "In the past, the son was one on the left and one on the right in the house, so he likes to compose poems, why don't you want to be famous today!" ”
"Hehe, stinky girl, isn't that here to make you happy. Besides, Childe's poem of 'born in a fairy cave, infinite scenery is at the dangerous peak' can be released here? Hehe, although the poem is really well done, it is easy to be misunderstood. Childe, I am also a six-grade official, if it is known, will it not be a loss of official authority! ”
Xiao Xing listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, the son is a big official, but you can't do those poems outside!" ”
Zhong Hao looked at the buds on Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing's chests with a smile, and said, "Then wait until you go back, and Gongzi will make a few more songs of that style for you!" ”
The two girls couldn't help but sneer in unison: "Childe, you are necrotic!" ”
"Hehe, the son is not bad, but the woman is not loved." Zhong Hao smiled obscenely.
"Ahem, let's go, let's go see other people's poetry competitions!" Seeing that his lewd laughter attracted the attention of others, Zhong Hao couldn't help but pretend to be serious and said.
…………
Zhong Hao, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Xing came to the side of the literati who were testing poetry. At this time, among the literati, a scribe wearing a moon-white right scholar robe stood up.
Zhong Hao saw that he was less than thirty years old, but his face seemed to have a little more vicissitudes of middle-aged people. The scribe said loudly: "A few days ago, I came across a song "Eternal Happiness", please comment on it!" ”
As he spoke, the scribe chanted loudly: "The frost is cold and dangerous, and the dew invades the idle pavilion, and the sorrow also gathers." Before the moon breaks the clouds, after the autumn chrysanthemum, there is a flow of water in two phases. The west path of the small garden, now it is re-arriving, and Xian'e is drunk and singing. Through the curtain, the declining man looked at each other, and Shaohua secretly didn't go.
The wind knocks on the iron horse, the rain is cold and the eaves are cold, and the pen wraps around Yuhua. Dreaming of spring warblers, tears of autumn geese, and a few resentments. The two are separated from hatred, and the eight points are good, and they also seem to be annoying. It should be difficult to recognize, ten years old, leaning on the smoke waves. ”
Zhong Hao listened to it and thought it was a good poem, but it was written a little sadly, but it was somewhat contrasted with the cold artistic conception of late autumn at this time.
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but the general opinion was somewhat consistent with Zhong Hao's opinion.
As for Xiao Tao and Xiao Xing, they looked at the scribe with admiration. They can't tell the good from the bad of the poems, anyway, they feel very handsome when they look at the poems that can be spoken.
At this time, a young scholar in a brocade robe walked out among the talented people and said: "I just saw that the picture painted by Brother Project is very meaningful. ”
The young scholar opened his mouth and said, "If you want to appreciate all directions, you should save a delicate posture." A little new ink is played, and the grass is used to the pool. The indoor spring breeze is warm, the pen is constantly flowing clouds, and the fairy spirit surrounds the fence. It's just that the jade flower is small, bringing butterflies into the ripples.
Heavenly species, Kyushu governor, four Yi fans. The painting screen incense fan is even more rare in terms of divine products. Often on the royal wall, but also accompanied by the scholar's case, the shade is always appropriate. The most fragrant can last for a long time, evoking new words. ”
Zhong Hao listened to it, and felt that this song seemed to be very good in terms of words, but the next film seemed to be a little straightforward, but compared with the previous one, the artistic conception was more cheerful, and there was less desolation. All in all, it's a good lyric.
Zhong Hao's own appreciation of the word is limited, and he was about to listen to the audience's evaluation of this word, when he suddenly heard a voice and said with a smile: "Haha, Wenxuan, it's really you, the third brother wants to kill you......"
