Shi Lei didn't sleep for long this night, and was woken up early in the morning by the sound of "crackling" firecrackers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It must be those gangs again, the bear children who can't get up earlier than the chickens, can't wait to start enjoying the fun of burning firecrackers, and they are not afraid of disturbing other people's dreams.

Just like Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty, he wrote in the poem "Yuan Ri": In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old charm.

This poem basically encompasses all the customs of the Chinese New Year in ancient times, and it is not different from the customs of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

In the yard of the farmers, they all erect very long bamboo poles, the bottom is buried in the soil, and the top of the poles is hung with long flags made of paper or cloth, which are constantly shaking in the wind, this is the "flag".

Later, this custom spread to the Wa Kingdom, and it evolved into "carp floating".

Now that the living conditions of the farmers are better, there are a few families who are not bad for money, so they simply pulled a few feet of brightly colored silk and hung it on the top of the pole.

Although this custom is spread by us, it seems that it is not as good as the Japanese country, but in later generations, planting the national flag at home during the New Year is actually similar to the meaning. It shows that such an old tradition is still in people's blood.

Every household is also busy changing peach charms, sticking door gods and spring couplets, and it is similar to Shi Lei and them in later generations, this work is generally done by the old men of the family.

The peach charm is actually a pair of wood chips cut from the branches of the peach tree, usually painted red, and hung on both sides of the gate. On the first day of the new year every year, take off the old one and replace it with a new one.

It is said that this peach tree has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and it is still such a tradition in later generations, but it is generally a peach tree branch.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, there are still those who are really poor and can't afford to change the new talismans, so they have to take them off, repaint the red paint, and hang them up again.

At the earliest, on these two peach talismans, one was written "Shen Di" and the other was written "Yu Lei", both of which were legendary door gods who could suppress evil spirits.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, due to the royal family taking the lead in hype, the two brothers were replaced by Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, who were more popular with the masses.

And the masses feel that just writing two names on the peach charm is not enjoyable enough, and they have to draw the image of the two of them and paste them on the door to be curative enough, this is the "door god".

As for pasting the Spring Festival couplets, I originally thought that there was only this custom since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, but the written materials unearthed in Dunhuang prove that as early as the Kaiyuan period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there were stickers on both sides of the gate, and the couplet sentences appeared.

Now this honor has been taken away by Shi Lei, and Shijiazhuangzi has also become the first batch of people to post Spring Festival couplets. It can be regarded as standing at the forefront of fashion and leading a fashion.

Well, Shi Lei plans to write it down, it is definitely a major event that can be engraved in history.

It's his own Zhuangzi that has become "Shijiazhuang", which is a bit depressing, but who made Shi Lei, the head of the family, surnamed Shi, this name is not bad.

After a while, there were gongs and drums, and flutes were playing, and it was the procession of those who drove the maids.

In fact, there are also rumors in this later life, that is, those who dance great gods, of course, are not the kind that summon ghosts and gods, but the drama of getting rid of ghosts and gods.

Most of the bankers were watching the excitement around, and the professional dancer had lyrics, and most of the lyrics were describing how righteous humans beat ghosts.

After watching this good show, it is time for the dealers to greet each other.

According to tradition, this time it is to go to whose house to eat, and this has a special name, called "Chuanza".

This habit has also been passed down to later generations, and Shi Lei doesn't know in other places that there are still many places in the land of Qilu where such a rule is in vogue.

It's just that when everyone greets the New Year this year, the smiles on their faces are brighter than in previous years, and the meals are much more abundant.

The small days are much better, and I can't help but praise Shi Lei, the head of the house, and look forward to next year's year, which can be better.

By the way, if you have a young man of school age at home, you have to broadcast it.

"His seventh aunt, my dog should also talk about his daughter-in-law, if you have seen it, you can tell me."

Or "his eighth aunt, which girl do you think is easy to give birth to, and it is good to be an aunt to our family's iron eggs".

The food at home is stacked, and when it comes to talking about the daughter-in-law, the waist board is also stiff.

It's not that I always have to worry about it before, because my family is poor, and it's time for my son to beat a single.

In the past, other Zhuangzi were not willing to come, but now, people are begging to come, but the villagers are not very willing.

Such a good day, how can those short-sighted people from other villages take advantage.

After watching the excitement of Zhuangzi at home alone, Shi Lei honestly went to the cottage and poured a big incense into the front of his father's ranking, and all kinds of sacrifices had already been placed.

While burning some more paper money for his late father, Shi Lei was talking about his achievements during this time. The practice of martial arts has improved again, and the small life of the farmers has been better.

As he spoke, Shi Lei's tears couldn't help but flow.

Crossing into this world and occupying other people's bodies, how can it be said that there is no fear, no loneliness.

And there are so many people who have to eat with him, with a heavy responsibility, and that kind of hesitation and anxiety has never been less.

There are also memories of past lives, thoughts of those loved ones.

On such a day, when watching other people's families get together, these suppressed emotions all burst out.

After silently shedding tears for a long time, and almost venting his emotions, Shi Lei got up and got a piece of bamboo wine and poured it on the ground in three times. Then he kowtowed respectfully 3 times.

Not only for the father of this world, but also for those relatives in the previous life.

When Shi Lei packed up his emotions and walked out of the house, several uncles who went out to visit the house all came back.

Shi Lei, the head of the house, couldn't go to the door because of his filial piety, and several uncles, as his representatives, also had to go to all the households and send the greetings of the owner.

Shi Lei hurriedly brought over the Tu Su wine that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to several uncles one by one.

However, the first to drink this wine were not a few elders, but the two brothers who were the youngest here.

As the name suggests, this Tusu wine is a traditional Chinese medicine called "Tusu" added to the wine. It is made by a mixture of seven kinds of medicinal herbs, including rhubarb, atractylodes, bellflower, Shu pepper, cinnamon, aconitum, and sarsaparilla.

It is said that when drunk this wine, it can drive away evil spirits and detoxify and prolong life.

When the people of the Tang Dynasty drank this wine, they had a very interesting habit of drinking it from the youngest child in the family.

The reason is said to be that "the younger one gets the old age, and the old one loses the old age, so he drinks later".

When drinking, there is also a "Wuxin plate" on the table: the plate is green and green, and it is spicy.

There are five kinds of vegetables, namely garlic, garlic, leeks, brassica, and coriander.

Eating "Wuxin Pan" is to diffuse the depression of the five organs, prevent epidemics, and prevent diseases.

After eating these, there was another meal of vegetarian dumplings in the evening, which was a tired and happy New Year's Day for most farmers.

Although most of them have prepared a lot of strange New Year's goods from Yizhou, they can't all be all in this day's time, they must be happy for a few days.

Therefore, this Chinese New Year is often the happiest time for children, with new clothes to wear, and all kinds of delicious and fun things, which can be made.

A variety of meat dishes that are usually relatively rare, usually reserved for entertaining guests at home, can now be eaten openly.

For children, this is the greatest happiness.

This New Year's Festival has not yet passed, and they are already looking forward to the next New Year. (To be continued.) )
