……
The wood of peach wood is delicate, the wood body is fragrant, and it is easy to use dyes.
In addition, the dyes of today are not as environmentally unfriendly as those of later generations, and the colors used are extracted from the body of plants, and even have a sweet fragrance.
After finishing the coloring and cooling of all these peach talismans, it will take at least an hour in time, taking advantage of this time, Li Yuanba turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jingjing, and asked: "Jingjing, you just said that this 'peach talisman' originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so do you know the legend about this 'peach talisman'?" ”
Zhao Jingjing frowned when she heard this, and thought about it very seriously.
It's a pity that the legends about the 'peach charm' have gone to sea at this time, but looking at those legends, none of them have enough recognition. Zhao Jingjing thought about it for a while and didn't know how to answer this question, so she had no choice but to give up.
And this girl is a ghost, she can't answer, so she naturally wants to ask Li Yuanba, the initiator: "Lord, the slave doesn't know!" Please show me back! ”
As soon as Zhao Jingjing's words fell, Xia'er's little head melon stretched out from behind her, blinking a pair of big watery eyes, looking at Li Yuanba with longing.
Poor Zhao Jingjing didn't know that there was a super powerful artifact in the later world, called Bai Nima, some basic common sense and some professional terms, as long as Bai Nima searched for it, it would be done in minutes.
In addition, Li Yuanba's main major is history, and his secondary major is digging graves...... It's archaeology.
Both of these are inseparable from various folklore and folklore, so. In addition to various history books, those miscellaneous books that explain folklore and Bainima artifacts have become things that Li Yuanba often comes into contact with.
Hearing Zhao Jingjing's words, Li Yuanba smiled faintly and said: "In my pre-Qin period in China, there was once an absurd and strange book, called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", a long time ago, there was a ghost world. There is a mountain in that ghost world, and there are hundreds of ghosts on the mountain......"
"Ah, ghost! Where are the ghosts? ”
Xia'er was startled and couldn't help but scream.
There is no science in this dynasty, it is based on the fact that the people already believe in those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and as soon as Li Yuanba said the ghost world, he was immediately startled by Xia'er.
"Xia'er, don't be afraid, how can there be ghosts in this world? I'm just talking about legends, legends! Li Yuanba didn't expect Xia'er to be so timid. That's all there is to it.
"Lord Wang, you go on!"
Contrary to the little girl, Zhao Jingjing's eyes lit up when she listened, and she didn't look scared at all.
Li Yuanba touched his chin. He continued: "In that mountain, in addition to ghosts, there is also a peach tree that covers a radius of three thousand miles, and on the top of that tree there is a golden rooster born. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the early morning. The evil spirits who are out at night will be driven back to the ghost town. In addition to this ghost town, there are two great gods who are powerful and good at subduing ghosts, known as Shen Tu and Yu Lei. ”
"Lord Wang, are they the two great gods written on the peach talisman?" Zhao Jingjing interrupted Li Yuanba. Asked.
"Well, it's the two of them!" Li Yuanba nodded and said: "These two great gods strictly restrict the activities of ghosts, and at the end of each year, they will stand under the peach tree to inspect the hundred ghosts, and when they see any evil ghosts that are harmful to people, they will use a kind of 'mango reed rope' that cannot be broken free to tie them up, so that the gods and tigers who specialize in eating evil ghosts can satisfy their hunger and eliminate harm for the people." ”
"Does that really work?" Xia'er asked weakly.
"The king doesn't know! But it's always a kind of sustenance! ”
Li Yuanba shook his head and continued:
"The so-called manpower is sometimes poor, and the ability of these two great gods is also limited, they cannot eliminate the evil spirits in the world, and they cannot guarantee the safety of every household. Therefore, the ancient emperor of the ancients, the Yellow Emperor, announced an order to the whole of China, that is, on the eve of the Spring Festival, every household should carve statues of gods and yulei with peach stems, and hang them in front of the door on Chinese New Year's Eve. At the same time, reed ropes were hung at the top of the gate, and a tiger was painted on the second gate to avoid the infestation of evil spirits. It is precisely for this reason that peach wood is also called 'dragon descending wood' and 'ghost horror wood'! ”
"Oh, no wonder I see many big families, they will draw black tigers on the door, and the peach charm is also directly carved with the statue of the god and Yu Lei!"
Zhao Jingjing agreed with this, because when she was a child, every Chinese New Year's Eve, a black tiger would be painted on the door of her house, and the statue of Shen Di and Yu Lei would be pasted.
Li Yuanba continued: "Compared with ordinary people's homes, where is the spare money to ask craftsmen to carve statues of gods and gods, so later, the people simply painted two statues of gods on peach wood, or directly inscribed the names of gods and gods on them, and hung them on both sides of the door on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve to suppress evil spirits, this is the peach charm." ”
"Oh, I see!"
It was the first time for the two little girls to hear this legend, and they naturally had a sudden feeling.
At this time, the two peach talismans with the original good dye were almost dry, Li Yuanba asked Zhao Jingjing to go to the house to get the four treasures of the study, and after grinding it, he picked up the pen and looked around the courtyard.
When Li Yuanba saw a few plum trees in full bloom in the corner of the wall, his eyes lit up, and he lifted the sleeves of his robe and wrote on the red and bright peach charm.
The upper joint book: the snow reflects the plum blossom and the plum reflects the snow, and the lower joint book: the warbler should be willow catkins and willow should be warbler!
took the third half-dried peach charm, and criticized it horizontally: Winter goes to spring (the literary style is not good, don't hit me, I made it up blindly)......
This hand of beautiful willow script, written down like flowing water, every word is mellow, rigorous structure, looks very charming.
"The snow reflects the plum blossoms, the plum reflects the snow, and the warbler should be willow catkins and willows! Snow to warblers, plum blossoms to willows, so neat...... Lord, what kind of poetry is this? ”
Zhao Jingjing turned her head to look at the couplet on the peach talisman, and couldn't help but have bright eyes, and when she looked at Li Yuanba again, those eyes simply turned into two red hearts.
Li Yuanba smiled indifferently and said, "You see that in one of its couplings, two things appear repeatedly, is there a feeling of going back and forth?" That's why this king calls it 'palindrome', or 'palindrome'! ”
"Come on, hang this 'peach talisman' on the side of the door of this west cross courtyard, by the way, and this one, hang it on the lintel of the west cross courtyard!"
Looking at his work, Li Yuanba nodded with satisfaction, and directly ordered the two little eunuchs to hang up this couplet.
"Lord Wang, you just said that this peach charm is written on the 'palindrome couplet', I don't know what kind of style this 'couplet' is?"
Xia'er looked at Li Yuanba, hesitated for a while, and asked.
"Oh! This 'couplet' is actually a form of poetry creation, which can be completed by one person or two people! To put it bluntly, one person makes the last sentence and the other person makes the next sentence! Li Yuanba explained.
"Oh! Is it still called a 'peach charm'? "Xia'er is curious.
"It should still be called 'Peach Fu', right? However, this king calls it a 'couplet', or a 'spring couplet'! ”
Li Yuanba looked at the sky and suddenly groaned:
