'It's raining, really. Li Chen led the group and hurriedly rushed into the bamboo forest. Li Chen struggled to drive the donkey cart into the entrance, although it was also raining lightly in the bamboo forest, but it would be okay to take something to cover it.

'This rain, I hope it won't be delayed. Wang Er opened the curtain of the donkey cart and watched the drizzle falling continuously. A few children were elated, they were on an outing today, and the actual reward was about the same.

Li Chen chatted with Wang Er for a long time that day, and Wang Er said that she was not from Pengcheng and her home was in Hebei. It is true that she is a member of this association, but her main job is to patrol everywhere, on the one hand, to check the situation of the branch, and on the other hand, to help when the road is uneven.

Wang Er's nature is good at fighting and holding unevenness, and she has practiced good martial arts, she really pulled it out and walked around Li Chen, which made Li Chen dazzled.

That's how Li Chen was saved. Two sneaky guys, who came out in the middle of the night to bury things, have seen and heard too much about Wang Er, and immediately felt that there was something wrong with this.

'Social Day? What's that?' As he spoke, Li Chen said that he had opened a big theater called Vasher, and welcomed Wang Er to take a look, and Wang Er said that since this was the case, he asked Li Chen to send someone out to perform on the day of the society.

'You don't know about the day? Wang Er was shocked, but he finally knew Li Chen for many days, and he didn't forget that Li Chen lacked common sense about many things, so he began to introduce it.

Here's a repost. What's the repost? The Tang Dynasty didn't have an Internet bar yet, so why did it have a repost. I took it and looked at it, and I saw that it was written.

"The seat of the bureau of the society is transferred to the post, the society division is transferred to the right edge of the year, the bureau is set up, the seat is fortunate to ask the public to wait for the post to and limit the tenth day of this month, if it is taken in front of the door of the festival, such as if it is overdue, it will be punished for the corner of the wine, and the person who does not get a corner of the wine will be punished for half an urn, and the post will be divided quickly, and the character shall not be stagnant, such as the person who is delayed, the quasi-article will be punished by the department, but the week will be paid to the division with the fine", and the bottom is a bunch of names.

'I don't understand.... This string of texts is known to Li Chen when he is taken apart individually, and he can't understand it when he connects them. Wang Er explained, to put it simply, it is to inform you of the time and place of the social day, the time is the 10th of this month, and Lan Ruo is a Buddhist temple. You must come, you will be punished for being late, and if you don't come, you will be half an urn. Tell you, after reading the post, immediately turn to the next one, stop in your hand for too long, and you will be punished.

The name below is who you want to transfer to, and it turns out that it is a post to be forwarded, not a repost. However, after reading the repost, Li Chen still didn't understand, what is the social day, he understands a little, and he is responsible for the organization of the social day.

It turns out that Sheri is equivalent to the harvest festival in ancient times, which is quite a carnival. The time is roughly after the harvest. It is organized by each company.

And what about the society? The so-called shrine originally referred to land. The so-called Jiangshan Sheji, Jiangshan is very easy to understand, she refers to the land, and the grass is a crop, and you can almost understand what it means by looking at the edge of the word He.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying about lines, so lines can be understood as streets. In the Tang Dynasty, it was supposed to be a kind of thing that had to be gathered together, a bit like a certain street in our later years, a street, just a line.

When you go to the place, it is the society, which is the meaning of association. It is a private non-governmental organization. Normally, there are many things that cannot be done alone. Let's say, today your aqueduct is blocked, and you dig it yourself. But what if it's blocked? Do it yourself? You may not be able to finish the spring sowing and the autumn harvest.

There are many things like this, such as weddings and funerals, helping each other when farming is busy, and borrowing ploughing cattle during farming, all of which need to be deployed, so organizations such as societies have emerged. For example, in women's clubs, only rural women can join. The canal people are in charge of the canal.

In addition, these social organizations are no longer limited to the countryside, but also to the cities. Like what kind of official product society, lamp burning club, perfume club and so on. Broadly speaking, it can be divided into two categories, one of which is religious organizations, such as camps, statues, temples, and temples, all of which must contribute money and efforts. Hearing this, Li Chen was a little clear, because Wang Er said that many leaders and leaders were members of this kind of organization. Businessmen are richer.

The other category is economic organizations, such as canal society and funeral society. There are also farmers who raise funds to buy cattle and get cattle clubs, how to use the funds to buy? When to use it, it depends on the distribution of this society. The soldiers raised money to buy the Horse Society. These two kinds of societies are actually distinguished by later generations, in this era, it is not obvious, Wang Er belongs to a lamp-burning society, but everything is done.

The social management body is called the social department. And since Sheri is a harvest festival, of course some activities will be held, and Li Chen and they were invited to do activities.

'Leave him alone, let's go on our way, it's just a little rain.' Li Chen raised his eyes to look at the sky, the light rain in the sky continued, and he didn't know when it would stop. Today is the harvest festival that everyone is looking forward to, so don't spoil the fun. Thinking of this, Li Chen was very interested, urging everyone to go on the road, cold rain, what are you afraid of? When they arrived at the place, the people were so enthusiastic that they would naturally give them a good reception.

'Don't listen to the sound of Lin beating the leaves, why not roar and Xu Xingzhu fights mango shoes lightly, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain, let the raw material steep, the wind is cold, the wine is blowing, the wine is slightly cold, the mountain is obliquely shining, but it welcomes each other, and there is no wind and rain and no sunshine when it comes back from the bleak place. ’

'Good words. Wang Er heard it and clapped his hands in admiration. Although it was a bit unexpected, Li Chen still sang the noun he liked Su Dongpo, which was appreciated by Wang Er.

Is this what Li Jun did? ''Yes, too. ''I thought you were a pedantic person who blinded your figure, but now it sounds like you are not a hearty person, and you can't make such good words.'' ’

'Is there a word card?' Wang Er blinked his shining eyes and asked, Li Chen was speechless, how should I tell you? Dingchao, the Tang Dynasty did not have this word card.

'Uncle writes something, there must be no word card, Uncle said he doesn't understand. Before Li Chen could figure out how to answer, Fat Ball picked him up, in exchange for Li Chen's violent trembling, Fat Ball pretended to cry twice, and played with the left and right.

Braving the rain and feeling the ground, the villagers were really enthusiastic about ginger soup to help them ward off the cold, and even said hard, "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's raining at the right time, if it's a few days earlier, the barn won't be dry." ’

After wiping the water and drinking ginger soup, Li Chen took a few hours to start arranging, it was more troublesome to perform on a rainy day, but I had experience before, the waterproof cloth had to be covered, and then the big candle was lit, Li Chen took out the set of talking in the past today, but it was not their turn to perform, they were too early.

But it's not too early, early in the morning, you have to worship the gods, usually two trees, 'those two.' Li Chen raised his eyes and could clearly see two towering trees, as for what kind of tree, Li Chen couldn't tell.

There are two trees, one representing the shrine god and the other is the god of Ji. First worship the shrine god, and then worship the god Ji. As for how to worship? The villagers couldn't answer.

The wine is poured in front of the gods, and then the head of the shrine recites some greetings, and finally everyone bows down together. Li Chencha doesn't need such an answer much, if he really wants to listen to those scriptures, he can't listen to them.

'Are you going to bury the offerings?' Li Chen asked in surprise, "What a waste." In later generations, it is customary to bury the offerings in the soil, most of them are eaten after worshipping, and even if there is a way in the temple, those offerings are also absorbed by the monks, so it is a pity to bury them like this.

However, Li Chen had never heard of Sheri in later generations, and God knows where the custom of burying sacrifices came from. Li Chen didn't know, the author said well, mainly after the Ming Dynasty, after the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the barbaric Mongols, this custom was interrupted for a hundred years, and the Mongols didn't even allow the people to hold too many kitchen knives, how could they let you hold a public assembly. Therefore, there is no China after Yashan, there is a reason, there are too many faults in Chinese culture, not to mention anything else, to take the basic accent, it is all ambiguous.

'What's next?' Seeing that it was almost over, Li Chen asked the villagers who seemed to be ready to help the villagers who had been beside him, "Next is the god of competition, do you want to participate." At this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the village, "The race has begun, come and see." Before the words fell, the villagers ran away.

Li Chen was so curious that he took a group of children over to take a look, and as soon as he passed, he had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere.

I saw that the villagers put the statues of the gods on the richly decorated cars, and the decorations were gorgeous enough and decorated with colorful curtains.

There was a dragon and lion dance performance in front of the car, and Li Chen said in his heart that there was more than one performance, but if you look closely, many of them are performed by the villagers themselves. Then there was a group of acrobatics in the back of the car, these are the invitations, I think they came from different directions, and they didn't meet them just now.

In the end, there is a group of people, these are all villagers, everyone follows the god of singing and dancing, Li Chen smiled, it turns out that this is the countryside to drive stalls, Shangyuan Festival parade, the city is also like this. However, only the three major Buddha festivals will carry the statue out of the street.

No, this is not the first time this has happened. Li Chen felt this sense of déjà vu, not because of the city, he thought about it carefully, clapped his hands and sighed lightly, "In the Oolong Police Station, one of Liangjin's favorite activities, isn't it the temple fair?" Some luans in Taiwan have gone out on patrol and have done the same way around the border. This custom has not been eradicated.

Next, it's the main event, and it's finally Li Chen's turn to play. The people had enough fun and had enough trouble, and they began to stop to rest and recover their strength, and they just happened to receive Li Chen's performance.

The combination of talking and puppet play made the people in the village addicted, 'It's better than the vulgar talk in the temple.' ''Yes, yes, I'll invite them later.'' By the way, the day of the society is not just one day, there are usually two days, about after the harvest, there is no money for the confiscation of achievements, and there is no fun. The Tang Dynasty had popularized the two-wheel system of rice selling in this area, and the two tax laws were also levied at this time.

After the performance, the villagers rushed up enthusiastically and greeted them well.
