Chapter 12 The sensation caused by the Spring Festival couplets
Time is very fast, and the New Year is almost over in a blink of an eye, and the Zhao Mansion is busy with hygiene, purchasing New Year's goods, and a series of trivial matters such as worshipping ancestors. In the past few days, Zhao Hongyin, the owner of the Zhao family, has taken the leave of the three little guys.
Huhu, I can finally rest for a few days -
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month every year, every household should paste a peach charm (spring couplet). On the morning of this year, Zhao Dezhao happened to be about to go out of the mansion and saw that the people in the mansion were changing peach charms, and Zhao Dezhao would not care about such a small thing.
And yet, at this momentβ
Zhao Dezhao just wanted to step out of the mansion door, when he suddenly heard an "oops", and an old servant fell down the ladder.
Zhao Dezhao saw the old servant Zhongbo fall to the ground, and hurriedly ran over to help him up from the ground, and asked, "Zhongbo, are you okay?" "In the later generations, the Celestial Dynasty was trembling to help an old man in that era, but Zhao Dezhao's heart was not like this, since he saw it, he had to reach out to help.
"Thank you Shaolangjun for your concern, I'm fine, little old man, but I'm getting older, and my legs and feet are a little unfavorable." The old man named Zhongbo waved his hand and thanked his own Langjun.
Zhao Dezhao saw that Zhongbo's hands were swollen, and said very distressedly; "It's okay, you're so old, why don't you let the young man make a move."
"This ...... It's all because this peach charm is too heavy...... The little old man let the peach charm smash his hand for a while, and this little pain is not in the way-" The servant named Zhongbo said lightly, as if the matter was small and subtle.
"Uncle Zhong, you also said it's okay, your hands are swollen, you better don't hold on, go down and rest first, let them come here." Zhao Dezhao saw that Zhongbo's hands were swollen, so he ordered other subordinates to take over his work.
"Little Lao'er, thank you Shaolangjun for your love, this is obeyed!" Zhongbo looked at Zhao Dezhao in front of him gratefully.
"Who's that? New here, you come and help Zhongbo to the backyard to rest. Zhao Dezhao looked at it, and just saw a servant with a face, so he said.
"The little one obeys." So the newcomer helped Zhongbo down.
Zhao Dezhao walked to the door and saw that the peach talisman had been broken into two under gravity, such a heavy wooden board fell from a high place, and he was lucky not to crush people. Later, Zhao Dezhao disliked that the peach charm was too bulky, and almost injured the people in the house, so he came up with a good way, and asked the people to buy some red paper, and then cut the red paper into long strips, and then took these cut papers, went to his study, and wrote some words on the paper.
Hehe, isn't this a Spring Festival couplet? I saw Zhao Dezhao holding the Spring Festival couplets whose handwriting had not yet dried, and hurried to the door. After that, he asked his subordinates to take some glue and paste the couplet on the door.
People have never seen a red couplet with ink written on the door, but it looks good and doesn't hinder the view, but the red paper looks more festive, isn't it just an auspicious New Year, a new year.
That's right! changed the peach charm from a peach board to paper, and then wrote some words on it, hehe, isn't this a spring couplet. What Zhao Dezhao didn't know was that his idea completely changed history, and the first couplet in history was originally born in Hou Shu on Chinese New Year's Eve at the end of 964 AD, when the Hou Shu Emperor had a whim in the middle of winter that year, and asked one of his bachelors, Xin Yinxun, to write two sentences on a peach board and hang them as peach charms on the door frame of his apartment. These two sentences are "New Year's Day, Jiajie Changchun". However, at this time, Zhao Dezhao's Spring Festival couplets have advanced it by a full twelve years! Since then, every household has posted the written Spring Festival couplets in front of the door during the New Year.
Li Yuanchang took the peach talisman (Spring Festival couplet) in Zhao Dezhao's hand and said: "Shaolangjun's method is really good, the paper is light and thin, not too bulky than the peach talisman, and it saves money." β
Then he thought of something and said, "But is this method feasible?" It doesn't seem to be there...... Custom. Li Yuanchang had never seen the Spring Festival couplets, so he naturally felt that there was something wrong...... So it's eye-catching.
"Oh? Is it. It's nothing, you can just be bold. Zhao Dezhao heard Li Yuanchang's praise, and said in his heart that this idea was not come up by himself, but it was indeed posted during the festival in the later generations, but there was no such detail at this time.
Li Yuanchang praised while pasting peach charms: "Shaolangjun's handwriting is really beautiful!" β
Zhao Dezhao didn't want to answer directly: "You are so loud!" β
"Shaolangjun, what is a sycophant? Slap the horse's ass? This ......" Li Yuanchang scratched his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
"Slap the horse's ass, you mean that." Zhao Dezhao suddenly thought that the word 'sycophant' came from the Yuan Dynasty, and he said the word at once, and then said to Li Yuanchang, "Sycophant is the meaning of lifting, complimenting, and praising him." β
"Shaolangjun knows a lot, the little one has less knowledge, and the little one admires Shaolangjun more and more."
"You're a personβ" Zhao Dezhao was embarrassed to hear it.
"Hehe-hee-" Li Yuanchang smirked innocently.
After Li Yuanchang pasted the new peach charm, he accompanied his little Langjun out shopping.
It is said that there are people flowing endlessly on the street in front of Zhao's Mansion every day, and people come and go, and now it is just in time for the New Year, and there are more people on the street, all of whom are visiting relatives and friends, purchasing New Year's goods or something. After Zhao Dezhao's couplet was pasted, a person was attracted to it.
Where there is the first, there is the second...... From ancient times to the present, China has loved to watch lively people. In less than half an hour, a group of onlookers poured in front of Zhao's house, and there were quite a few people in the world who watched the excitement, and everyone expressed great interest in this couplet written on red paper.
Everyone was discussing: "What kind of Rausch is this, I haven't seen it." β
"What's like that?"
"Red is so festive!"
"That's a pretty wordβ"
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
There were many onlookers, but none of them had a clear understanding of what was in front of them.
The illiteracy rate in this era is still quite high, and there are many people who can't understand the above content, but they are still very curious about this new thing, but it is not to belittle everyone, but this thing has just been produced in this era, and everyone has never seen it.
But there are also people who see the doorway a little more clearly-
"Little Langjun next door, do you see what words are written on this?" An old man asked.
"Uncle, I don't know what it is, but you see, there are three sentences written on it, one sentence on the side, one sentence on the left, and one sentence on the top, which is written on the side of the hand, 'Spring returns to the land and the scenery is good', on the left is 'there are many happy events in the world', and on the top is 'Welcoming the Spring and Seeing Joy', but the right thing is extremely neat, 'spring' to 'blessing'; I don't know what kind of Rausch this is, have you seen it, uncle? That Xiao Langjun said everything he knew, and then said that he had not seen it.
"I'm so old, I've never seen this Rausch that you just told me, or you, a little Langjun, said it well, a reader is well-informed. But according to what you say, this thing is really good.,It's so convenient Raushzi.,I'll teach me to teach literacy Mr. Ming'er also got me such a play.,Paste it on the wall to make a festive picture.γ β
Then less than a moment later, all these onlookers disappeared, and they dared to plagiarize?
After all, those who watch the excitement are those who watch the excitement
In less than half an hour of the latter, an old man with a handful of old beards and white hair passed in front of the Zhao Mansion, and suddenly seemed to see something, a surprised look appeared on his face, and then stood in front of the Zhao Mansion for a long time.
"Hey, what are these two red stripes?" The old man stared curiously at this couplet for a long time.
"This thing looks like paper!" The old man with dizzy eyes looked at it carefully, then walked up, stood in front of the couplet at close range, and touched the paper that still had the scent of ink, "This is indeed paper." β
"The words on it...... This font has never been seen, the handwriting is thin, to thin without losing its flesh, the turning point can be clearly seen Tibetan Feng, Lu Feng and other Teton traces, it is really the top grade in the word. I admire the old man, I don't know who wrote this, but I also want to meet this old man...... The man who writes. β
The old man had stood in front of the door for a moment, reading the words on the paper, and became more and more curious and puzzled, what kind of person could write such a muscular handwriting, alas, and I did not know if I could see its true face, so that I could admire it in my heart.
The old man was eager to meet the owner of the word, so he planned to go up and ask him.
