Section 998 Ghosts celebrate the Spring Festival
Wei Xi and Jiang Zhi didn't realize at that time that the major strategic change had avoided a great crisis in the Western Expeditionary Army!
Pepin II, the court minister of the Frankish kingdom, was clever enough to realize the power of the Tang people, and he sent envoys to lobby various tribes and countries, including Bohemians, Bavarians, Lombards, Saxons, and Slavs everywhere.
Tell them that the Tang people came from the east, and everywhere they went was blood and fire!
They conquered Eastern Rome and the Great Eclipse, and they fought all the way to make everyone their slaves!
Lose your freedom and let it be slaughtered!
The Tang people had a lot of looted goods and countless livestock, and they had many slaves, beautiful slave girls!
Just defeat them, and everything is a winner!
Wei Xi's hand is a saber bow and arrow, and the other hand is wine and silk, while Pepin II corresponds to "loss of freedom" and "winning spoils".
While Wei Xi introduced himself as a caravan trader, Pepin II used the friendship of his clan to fight against foreign enemies to form an alliance.
I have to say that he is highly skilled, after all, he is a native of Europa, everyone is blonde and blue-eyed, of course I don't believe those black-haired and black-eyed outsiders!
Piping II is waiting for the launch of the Tang people, he will resist step by step, lure the enemy deep, consume the offensive momentum of the Tang army, and when the time is ripe, the big alliance of all ethnic groups will work together to eliminate the Tang people!
But they are destined not to do so.
……
Jiang Shi left for Constantinople, while Wei Xi spent his first Spring Festival in Europa.
All subjects, regardless of color or race, are caught up in the carnival of the Spring Festival!
Paste spring couplets, use wooden peach charms to ward off evil and dispel filth.
The Tang people are doing it, and the ghosts are doing the same.
The sound of firecrackers is saying goodbye to the old year, and this time it is not a fake that is thrown into the fire with a bamboo tube to make them explode, but a real gunpowder firecracker......
Some people say that firecrackers pollute the environment, but there are no firecrackers to ignite, how to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and how to send away the "year beasts?" ”
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is held late on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve!
This is what Wei Xi pushed after he took office, advocating that everyone go home for the New Year and have a reunion dinner.
Those with families have a reunion dinner, and those who are single outside have a dinner.
Put the Chinese wine and food on the table, no need to talk nonsense, the ghosts are not kneeling anymore!
The charm of Chinese food, all races love to eat!
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there is a large fireworks display!
Countless fireworks hit the sky, and the whole sky is bright and colorful, adding infinite joy to the festival.
Not to mention that the Western devils who have never seen the world are dumbfounded, even the Tang people never dreamed that there would be such a beautiful scene!
They slapped their palms and applauded every firework.
Wei Xi spent a lot of money, gunpowder was still valuable at that time, and he didn't use gunpowder to attack the enemy, and burned it in the air in vain, which made the officials of the General Staff Department and the Logistics Department feel heartbroken, how good it would be if it was used on the enemy!
"You're thinking about military benefits, I'm thinking about political and cultural implications!" Wei Xi said with a smile: "The fireworks are released, and I am in a good mood to take them back!" ”
Everyone is naturally full of gossip, Wei Xi smiled, his eyes clear.
Then keep the year, there is an exorcism: wearing a ghost mask, blowing, playing and singing while walking.
Playing the role of expelling the evil ghosts and plagues and welcoming the gods, the Tang army killed all the way, extremely vicious, killing people's heads, not afraid when killing, and only afraid when sitting down.
The people of the time were superstitious, and Wei Xi was also as good as a stream, and did not break the feudal superstition, held a large-scale dance in the palace, lit a huge candle, burned agarwood, and sang and danced.
Those obedient ghosts watched with relish!
On the first day of the first lunar month, Wei Xi put on a brand-new golden robe and accepted the congratulations of the brightly dressed officials, and many ghosts congratulated him: "Happy New Year!" ”
In return to them is the New Year's red envelope sent by Wei Xi!
Royal style, sending a red envelope is a gold coin, although there are not many gold coins in a red envelope, the meaning is small, but others can't get it, because it is a "flying tiger gold coin"!
One side of the gold coin is the Tang character, engraved with AD, and the other side is the Flying Tiger pattern, and only he can issue such a gold coin, which is very valuable for retention.
This is the practice after Wei Xi took power, important ministers give six gold coins, ordinary courtiers give three, and ordinary people give one.
The ghosts were reminded that the gold would surely increase in value and that they could pass it on to their children and grandchildren, and they happily put it away.
Since the establishment of Xifu, it has been given to the subjects, and everyone loves it!
It was another big feast, eating and drinking.
In the third year of junior high school, there is an "ice hockey" game, and everyone eats snacks and watches the game, which is very happy!
In addition to transporting a large number of festival materials to distribute to everyone, various units and units have prepared a lot of programs, visiting gardens, singing and dancing.
Military music is played to show the power of the army.
People carried out two statues of Bodhisattvas: the Great Trend Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva came out to wander the gods, blowing and beating, very lively.
After the ceremony, there was a lot of food and drink.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Tang Dynasty called it "Renri", which is said to be set up by Dongfang Shuo. The women of the Tang Dynasty would dress up and paint all kinds of patterns on their faces, such as "oblique red" and "face", and would also skillfully apply the lips and apply grease and powder, and the lipsticks they applied had "Wan Jin Hong, Da Hong Chun, Nei Jia Yuan" and so on. On this day, Wei Xi and Princess Taiping will feast the ministers to appreciate the snow, and reward the civil and military officials with silk and satin silk, so that their royal literati can write poems to help the fun. The folk is popular to cut ribbon paper, and the cut patterns are flowers, trees, chickens, sheep, etc., all of which are lifelike.
There is also a "passenza", that is, everyone takes turns to eat, and everyone eats and drinks nonsense. . . Well, I finally understand the reason why the inheritance of Chinese culture has not been interrupted for thousands of years, in the words of a ghost.
"I love Chinese New Year and being able to eat a lot of good things! There's a lot of fun stuff! "That's what the hell said!
If it's not the Spring Festival, how can you find an excuse to go to the sea to eat and drink!
Without the Spring Festival, how can children justifiably take the New Year's money from adults to buy candy to eat? How can a subordinate receive a red envelope from a superior?
Children resolutely support the Spring Festival! The subordinates shouted: "I want a red envelope!" ”
I have loved the Spring Festival since I was a child, how can I not support Chinese culture?
All the people said that the Spring Festival was good.
The ghosts quickly fell in love with the Chinese New Year, throwing aside their Christianity, and they also went to lion dances, firecrackers, ice hockey, eating and drinking, and carrying statues of Bodhisattvas...... I was so happy that I blended into the atmosphere of Chinese culture.
A few years later, the ghosts who spoke Chinese and spent the Spring Festival recognized themselves as Tang people, and they couldn't get rid of them if they wanted to.
Seeing the ghosts having fun on the street, Wei Xi smiled lightly and said, "My money is not wasted!" ”
