(The performance of the men's basketball team today really confirmed my guess after the Sino-US war: Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong.) The men's basketball team is expected to finish in the top eight. Today's gymnastics men's team final also touched me very much, that kind of momentum that is not what I am, looking at the tears shed by Xiao Qin and the other boys, my eyes are actually moist. )

The front page of the second issue of "The History of Chunming Dynasty" is also a hot news freshly baked, in addition to reminding readers that from next year's New Year's Day (ancient China takes the first day of the first lunar month as the New Year's Day, instead of the current Western calendar January 1st), it will be changed to Yongzhen, and next year will be the first year of Yongzhen, the biggest news is that the imperial court rewarded Gao Chongwen, who had made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and Yan Li and his department, and gave money of 15,000 yuan (one thousand yuan), jade pot and 100 altars, to reward soldiers for military merit and New Year's expenses. On the same day, he issued an edict, sealing Gao Chongwen as the secretary of the Ministry of Inspection and Engineering, the deputy ambassador of Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu, knowing the festival, and at the same time commanding the troops of Shu from all walks of life, and ordering Gao Chongwen to choose a day after the New Year to march into the army, and level Xichuan in one fell swoop.

Originally, the cabinet discussed, only to reward Gao Chongwen, and at the same time to reward Yan Li, but a few days ago, the Dongchuan Jiedu who advanced to Hanzhong made Wei Dan write to the imperial court, and said that Gao Chongwen was on an expedition, if there was no substantial reward, the soldiers would inevitably be slack, and they could not fight to the death, and they were willing to call their illness and not go to work, and the Dongchuan Jiedu envoy would be ceded to Gao Chongwen. As soon as the recital arrived, not only Li Yu was moved, but also the minister who knew about it was also moved. You must know that this is a secret politics, Wei Dan can't be the envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu, and the imperial court can't give him public compensation in any name, so he can only come back to be his counselor. Li Yuqing knew that what Wei Dan said was reasonable, so he allowed Wei Dan to play, but retained Wei Dan's position as the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, and only appointed Gao Chongwen as the deputy envoy of the Festival, knowing the affairs of the Festival.

After the edict was issued, there was no accident in the entire Tang Empire, and there would be no big thing to happen in the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan.

Since drinking Laba porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month, the flavor of the New Year in Chang'an has become stronger, and the citizens have been busy cleaning and preparing food. The officials of the various government offices are busy making year-end summaries like modern people, hoping to obtain a good grade through the evaluation of the officials and obtain the necessary qualifications for future promotions or rewards and punishments. Among the middle and senior officials, it was rumored that after the New Year, in order to highlight the new monarch and new atmosphere, the imperial court would make big moves in terms of personnel, and the New Year was approaching, and there were many more people walking around each other to give gifts, and the streets of Chang'an were full of traffic, and the river was endless until late at night.

In the autumn, the problem of the fence that the citizens of Chang'an were concerned about was finally solved in the winter. The walls of the East and West markets were demolished one after another, followed by the walls of Pingkangfang. These three districts are pilots, with Dongshi and Xishi being the commercial districts, while Pingkangfang is the entertainment district, a famous concentration of prostitutes. After the wall of the three districts was torn down, there was a very rapid crossover in function, the price of the façade house in Pingkangli changed several times a day, and the tile shop also began to appear in the east and west markets, some places were restaurants and tea shops during the day, and at night it was a place for singing and dancing, joining the army, and storytelling performances, and the nightlife of Chang'an citizens was suddenly enriched.

In order to coincide with the opening of the East and West Cities and Pingkangli, the closing time of other squares in Chang'an has also been postponed by two hours, and Chang'an is no longer just a metropolis during the day, but also shows extraordinary charm at night. On the evening of the opening day, the excited citizens of Chang'an flocked to the streets and alleys, considering the limited capacity of the East and West Markets and Pingkangfang, and the fact that Suzaku Street and Chunming Street also allowed vendors to do business at night. That night, on Suzaku Street and Chunming Street, on the streets of Dongxi Market and Pingkangfang, colorful lanterns were hung everywhere, and there were loud vendors and artists who set up stalls and performers, and laughter and laughter could be heard everywhere, which was more lively than the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. People suddenly realized that night life can be so colorful.

This kind of pomp and circumstance lasted for two months, and every night, the residents of Chang'an City who had spare money would be restless if they did not go out for a stroll, enjoy singing and dancing, or watch the performances of Jianghu artists, listen to books, and eat snacks. Through the spread of storytellers and acrobatic artists, Zhang Xun's war made the fox tide also become a popular game among children in Chang'an, and often children ran home crying, crying to their parents that the children forced themselves to play the fox tide, and did not let themselves play Zhang Xun. With the opening of the curfew, poor families have more ways to live, and many find their neighbors, relatives and friends writhing to set up stalls, start small businesses, or start helpers. Although Guanzhong was still martial and suppressed business, the people in the metropolis were obviously much more open-minded, and in less than a month, there were many more skilled traders in Chang'an City.

Ordinary citizens are like this, and the rich and noble families also have their own places to go. Many of the deposed worshippers after the new monarch's accession to the throne seem to have found something to do overnight. There is a big tile shop in Pingkangli, and the performers are all Liyuan disciples every day, as well as celebrities in the teaching workshop, and the performances are continuous every day, almost full every day, and every day is making money. There are several new restaurants in the east and west cities, all of which have fresh dishes and rules, which are amazing. Rumors of a certain rich man who has a thousand dollars have also begun to circulate in the community. Although such activities were significantly suppressed by the Emperor's Great Trip, many people still felt that a new era had arrived.

Soon, when the ordinary citizens of Chang'an found that their lives became richer, they also found that their money went out quickly, and the money went out quickly and were reluctant to live like this, anyway, it seems easy to make money now, and more and more people began to think about how to make more money.

This grand occasion has not ended until the twenty-second day of the lunar month, that is, the eve of the sacrificial stove, and from the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the horn of the New Year is officially sounded, and every family has to be busy, and the commercial area is also closed. That night, the citizens of Chang'an had a complete carnival before the arrival of the New Year. After this night, there were two kinds of people who were particularly relaxed, one was the officials of Jingzhao, and the opening of the curfew also increased the number of criminal cases, and almost everyone from the royal power down was nervous for the past two months. There is also a tax collector who has never had a cramp in his hand after collecting taxes, and now he can finally rest.

Sprinkle and sweep the court, worship ancestors, from the emperor to the citizens, all of them are methodically carrying out their New Year in accordance with the customs that have not changed for thousands of years. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when midnight arrived and the sound of firecrackers sounded all over the streets, the New Year's Day of the first year of Yongzhen arrived.

The emperor, who kept vigil like the people, came out with another masterpiece after New Year's Day:

The sound of firecrackers in the year old,

The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu,

Thousands of households,

Always replace the new peach with the old charm.
