After saying goodbye to the two daughters, Zhao Dezhao smiled, then put the handkerchief into his arms, and the group began to go to the river to put lanterns.

For Zhao Dezhao just came here to join in the fun, as a modern person I am afraid that I will never know what ancient times were like, what would happen on the streets of ancient cities, what was the life of ancient people, what was the situation of the ancients, eating, drinking and having fun and so on, but Zhao Dezhao is undoubtedly the luckiest traveler, he was not only reborn into the world more than a thousand years ago, more than 1,000 years of knowledge and insights than others, but also crossed into the son of "Tang Zong and Song Zu", hehe, how lucky it was!

Among the world, I am afraid that Zhao Dezhao is the most romantic.

Holding the lantern bought in advance, Zhao Dezhao closed his eyes, folded his hands, reverently recited silently, and then put the lantern in the Bianhe River, but Zhao Kuangmei had already put the river lantern away.

No matter how beautiful the lantern is, it is just a lamp.

The water of the Bianhe River rippled slightly, taking away Zhao Dezhao's feelings of longing and pinning his hopes for the future. Alas, I don't know if the parents who lost their children live well in that world more than a thousand years later, as soon as they think of this incident, Zhao Dezhao's heart is uneasy and self-blamed, and he has to enter this township and forget about it for now.

Zhao Dezhao turned his head, trying not to let the tears blur his vision, and he didn't want to be seen by others, so he silently endured all this in front of him alone.

"Zhao'er, what's wrong with you?" The sharp-eyed Zhao Kuangmei still saw it.

"Nothing, let the sand blow into your eyes."

"Oh, it's okay, let's continue!" Zhao Kuangmei continued to pull Zhao Dezhao forward.

After about a few quarters of an hour, the five people finished putting on the lights, and Zhao Dezhao and the five of them continued to cross through the vast sea of people. Although this is still the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, perhaps the beginning of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Guo Wei is still an emperor who works hard, under his rule, the Great Zhou Kingdom is thriving, and the domestic environment is still quite stable, but the business of Tokyo City is showing signs of prosperity!

Walking along this commercial avenue, there are always a lot of people in this world, and the road is full of people, all rushing to the excitement of the festival.

The fireworks of the festival are played one after another in the sky, and they release their beautiful posture and leave people with beautiful expectations.

There are a lot of men and women on the street, and they are rushing in one direction at this moment, and this direction is not going in the direction of the Lantern Festival. So, Zhao Dezhao proposed that everyone go back to the place they went to during the day to enjoy the lantern festival together.

After walking for about a mile, I finally saw those colorful lanterns in the distance. The tall Ao Mountain, about a few zhang high, occupies half an acre of land in a square circle, the wide royal river is blocked tightly, and during the day, I see those lanterns placed in that place, and at night it looks like a shining mountain, which is very good-looking.

The streets on both sides were full of people watching Aoshan, and even the surrounding houses, trees, and walls were full of people, all with excited smiles on their faces.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the moon is enchanting.

People, all people, Zhao Dezhao and the four of them chose the best viewing position and stood, waiting quietly. All of them had nervous faces, closed breathing, and urgent demeanor, as if they were all eagerly waiting for something.

At that moment, I suddenly only heard a dull drum sound in the distance of the river, just like the sound of the trumpet announcing the beginning at the opening meeting, and then the lights on the river in the distance suddenly lit up, although the vision at night is not very clear, but I can still guess that there is a man rowing, and then with a loud trumpet, suddenly the lights in the distance began to move.

Those points of light are from far to near, and the speed is getting faster and faster, it seems that they are rushing towards the side of Aoshan, quite a bit of "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach" feeling.

At first, Zhao Dezhao didn't know what the lights in the distance were, but with the sound of a uniform trumpet, the lights in the distance got closer and closer, and it turned out that the lights were dragon lanterns on the water.

The so-called dragon lantern is actually a long and narrow lantern, and the bow and stern are glued into the dragon head and tail lanterns respectively.

Tonight's wind is soft, not as cold and solemn as in winter, and the mood of the people is also high.

On the wide royal river, hundreds of dragon lantern boats are scrambling, and the muscles on the thick arms are tangled, shining with oily colors, which looks very masculine and beautiful, provoking people on both sides of the strait to shout desperately.

Zhao Dezhao was very puzzled, so he asked Zhao Kuangmei; "Why do you row dragon boats on the Shangyuan Festival, isn't it the Duanyang Festival?"

Zhao Kuangmei smiled at her nephew and said, "You don't know this, this is a dragon lantern competition, and there is still a difference between it and that." ”

"It turns out that this is a dragon lantern race." Zhao Dezhao gained some knowledge.

After watching the dragon lantern competition of the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Dezhao and his group began to enjoy the lanterns on both sides along the royal street.

"The cars and horses are the same day and day, and the lights of thousands of homes are warm in the spring breeze." This is exactly what is depicted in the poem.

Not only are there lanterns on the streets, but there are also lanterns in front of the shops on both sides. The bigger the shop, the more magnificent and beautiful the lanterns in front of the door, although it can not be compared with Aoshan, but it is also unique, the lanterns are gorgeous and kitty, dazzling, even Zhao Dezhao is very amazed at these various lanterns, he is the first time to see so many lanterns in two lifetimes. On the lantern are some "dragon and phoenix Chengxiang", "heavenly maiden scattered flowers", "eight immortals drunk", "flying rainbow full garden", "Taoyuan righteousness" and other contents, the shape is vivid.

"Quick, there's a puppet show over there—"

"Puppet show, let's go, let's take a look!" A few of the people who spoke ran towards the other side of the street.

On the other side of the street, it was crowded with spectators.

"Shiro, Shaolang-kun, slow down-"

Helplessly, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao were not tall and couldn't see them, so they had to be held by their subordinates to watch.

I saw the performers behind the scenes, manipulating the puppets while singing, accompanied by silk music.

This play is the love story of Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei, Yang Yuhuan in order to protect her stable relationship with Li Longji, she is jealous, interrogated, noisy, and invites favors in every way; As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Tang Ming "relaxed the dynasty and occupied the love field". The abolition of the dynasty caused the rebellion of the careerist An Lushan and the resentment of the army and the people...... Ma Weipo died under the concubine.

Speaking of puppet shows, puppet shows were also known as puppet shows in ancient China. Chinese puppet theatre has a long history, and during the Three Kingdoms, puppets were already available for acrobatic performances, and the Sui began to use puppets to perform stories.

It is recorded in "Menglianglu": "All puppets play smoke powder, spirits, iron horses, public cases, historical books, and the stories of the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties, or tell history, or make miscellaneous plays, or like cliff words." For example, the puppet of the hanging line, starting from the story of Chen Ping Liuqi to solve the siege, now there are golden threads Lu Dafu, Chen Zhongxi, etc., so that it is as true as it is, and the one who walks the line is especially good. There are also cane-headed puppets, the most important is Liu Xiaofu's shooting family number of fruits, and its water puppets include Yao Yuxian, Brother Saibao, Wang Ji, Jin Shihao, etc., which made hundreds of people mourn. At the same time, there are hundreds of water plays, the trend of coming and going, the scale of dancing, the changes of fish and dragons are real, and the skills are like gods. ”

watched the puppet show on the streets of Tokyo, at this time the hour was almost the time of the day, fortunately this was not the Tang Dynasty, the night market was not banned, Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Kuangmei and their group went shopping for a long time, and the five of them also felt hungry.
