Today happens to be the "Lantern Festival" in the world, and the downtown is very lively, with lanterns of various colors and shapes being sold, and lanterns of various flavors being sold......

It is rumored that the Lantern Festival was discovered by King Chu Zhao - on the fifteenth day of the first month of a certain year, King Chu Zhao passed the Yangtze River and saw floating objects on the river, he ordered someone to salvage it, and found that it was a sweet food that was white on the outside and red on the inside.

So King Zhao of Chu took the food and went to consult Confucius, who said: "This is duckweed fruit, and the lord of it has a sign of revival." King Zhao of Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ordered Ku Ding to concoct this kind of food in the same way, but all the Ku Ding in Chu couldn't figure out the ingredients of this food, let alone make the same food.

At this time, someone told King Chu Zhao that Yi Ya of Qi (a famous witch of Qi State, a famous chef, good at frying, boiling, burning, broiling, and a seasoning expert) should be able to make such food. King Zhao of Chu immediately sent an envoy to the State of Qi to invite Yi Ya to come.

Yi Ya analyzed the ingredients of this food and told the king of Chu Zhao how to make it, and the king of Chu Zhao ordered people to make a large number of such foods and distribute them to the people, and announced the production methods to the public, and then the people continued to innovate and make various flavors of food. This kind of food is the so-called Lantern Festival, and the day King Chu Zhao discovered the Lantern Festival on the river, it has also become a festival celebrated by the whole country.

Eating Lantern Festival symbolizes the reunion of the family like the full moon, and entrusts people's good wishes for future life. The Lantern Festival is made of glutinous rice, or solid, or with filling, and the filling has bean paste, sugar, hawthorn, etc., and can be boiled, fried, steamed, and fried.

It is also said that the 15th day of the first lunar month is also known as the Shangyuan Festival, and the 15th day of July is the Middle Yuan Festival, and the 15th day of October is the Lower Yuan Festival. The three officials in charge of the upper, middle and lower elements are respectively "heaven", "earth" and "people", and the heavenly officials are happy, so there is a custom of lighting lamps in the Lantern Festival.

On this day, every house is lit up in front of the door, and most of them are the kind of fiery red lanterns, which are hung high, which is very beautiful. There are also light trees, lighthouses, and lantern towers in the downtown area, and a series of lanterns hanging together.

"It's spectacular!" Sui'er couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that the world is so lively!" ”

The sun has already set, and now it is about unitary time, and I am still looking forward to hearing them say that this night is the most lively day.

There are more and more people on the street, all wearing decent and beautiful clothes, and those lively and lovely girls are particularly particular - some are wearing a hundred butterfly flower skirts, some are wearing Su embroidered moon shirts, and some are wearing halo spring brocade long clothes...... Their hairstyles are also unique - some have peony hair, some have a Genting style, some are dressed in a hanging bun, and some have their hair coiled high into an ingot...... These pretty women are also decorated with pearls, moths, jade plums, snow willows, linden leaves, lamp balls, pins, and necklaces...... Shine brightly, probably to match the light of the moon tonight.

The sky slowly darkened, the lanterns lit up one after another, and after a while, I was immersed in the world of lanterns, the light tree, the light tower, the lighthouse, suddenly the whole lit up, there were mirror lights, phoenix lights, glass lights, flying fish lights, Kunpeng lights...... Dazzling and overwhelming.

The guys in the shop also shouted harder, and some shops even invited Youling to perform in order to attract more customers, and for a while, the sound of conversation, drama, and laughter mixed together, and it was very lively.

Some families walk together or walk by the wall, or cross the bridge or go to the suburbs, which is called "walking a hundred diseases", the purpose is to get rid of all the diseases and bad moods on the body.

The women who did not yet have children would go together to touch the nails in the city gates to get children.

When the time came, I didn't know what was going on in the downtown area, and the crowd was rushing to that side.

"Let's go over and have a look." Sui'er pulled me along.

Sui'er and I walked over and squeezed into the crowd, only to see a large lamp tree in the downtown area hanging many wooden sticks, next to the lamp tree a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman shouting: "Guess the lantern riddle, guess the lantern riddle, guess the most will have a gift." ”

There were already a lot of people gathered under the lantern tree, some of them were watching the lantern tree, some of them took down the wooden sticks with lantern riddles written on the lantern tree, and more of them were talking to each other.

"Guess the lantern riddle, guess the lantern riddle, guess the most people will have a gift!" The middle-aged man was still screaming hard.

"Brother He Chun, what is guessing lantern riddles?" Sui'er stared at the lamp tree with big bulging eyes, trying to see something out of it.

"Guessing a lantern riddle is to write the riddle on a wooden strip and hang it on a colorful lantern for people to guess." I pointed to the crowd under the lamp tree, "These are people who guess lantern riddles." ”

"Let's go have fun, too." Sui'er said with a smile, pulling me and trying to squeeze towards the lamp tree. There are so many terrible people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as rubbing shoulders and sweating like rain.

Sui'er and I squeezed for a long time to come to the slightly open lamp tree, although there are many people guessing the lantern riddle, but compared with the people watching the excitement, it seems to be much less.

"Childe, is the girl here to guess the lantern riddle too?" The middle-aged man came over and asked Sui'er and me.

"That's right."

"Can you tell me your names? I'll record that if you two guess the most, it's convenient for us to give gifts! The middle-aged man said enthusiastically, holding a brush and a bamboo chip in his hand, ready to write down our names.

"My name is He Chun, and her name is Sui'er."

"Okay." He wrote down our names on the bamboo tablets, "You two can guess the lantern riddles, and we have a buddy to record the number of lantern riddles you guessed at any time." I hope you both have a great time! ”

"Brother He Chun, what do you think is the answer?" Sui'er pointed to a wooden strip and asked me, and the wooden strip read: Purple and red stems bloom white flowers, and it only looks for her mother-in-law's house in the third dog, and the children are all black, but there are white flowers inside. (Guess a plant)

"I don't know what it is." I scratched my head, "What kind of flower is this?" ”

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what kind of flower it was, when a man who looked more refined came over, looked at the riddle we had been thinking about for a long time, and blurted out: "Isn't this buckwheat?" ”

I looked at him in amazement, and to be honest, I really didn't know what buckwheat was, was it a flower or a grass? Anyway, he should have answered correctly, and a person behind him glanced at the man, and then immediately wrote down something on the bamboo chip. The man walked away satisfied, and began to guess the next riddle.

I picked up another wooden strip again and looked at the riddle on it: Red Lady, going up to a tall building, my heart hurts, and tears flow. (Guess the name of a daily necessities)

"It's a candle!" I confidently said the answer. I still know this thing, I have seen it when I was still a big chun—every night, I can see the houses competing to light up, and the light of the candles diffuses from the window lattice, which is so dazzling that I may have seen too much and become conscious.

Sure enough, after I finished speaking, someone wrote my name on the bamboo piece later.

I suddenly doubled my confidence and continued to watch the next riddle: there is a face but no mouth, there are feet but no hands. Listen to people and eat and drink with them. (Guess a daily necessities)

"This is the table, haha, I know this, I met the table at noon, and I still remember the pot of Nanling wine." Sui'er said excitedly, and someone wrote down her name later.

Bite off the tail of the cow in one bite. (Guess the word)

"Sui'er, do you know what this word is?" I knew that Sui'er was in human form at the beginning, and she only cared about cultivation before, and she didn't know anything about fireworks in the world, and she definitely didn't know a few words, so I deliberately teased her.

"This, I don't know, I, I don't know many words." Seeing Sui'er's blushing face, I smiled to myself.

"This is the word 'sue'." I asked the person who recorded the number of riddles borrowed a brush and wrote it in Sui'er's palm, "Sui'er, look at this word, is the tail of the ox bitten off?" "I taught Sui'er to know this word, although I also took on a human form, but I have been practicing for a lot longer than her, and I have been paying attention to the life of the world, and I have naturally seen a lot more than her, so after turning into a human form, I have stored a lot of words in my mind.

"Sui'er, you are looking at this lantern riddle, the riddle should be 'yesterday', yesterday's 'yesterday', the left side of this word is 'day', the right is 'cha', the sun at first glance, isn't it the lantern riddle 'long rain and early sun'?" I wrote the word "yesterday" in Sui'er's palm and pointed to this word to explain to her.

Sui'er listened with relish, and a knowing smile appeared on her face. I returned the brush to the person behind me, who then wrote my name twice on the bamboo piece.

The safflower is worn on the head, and the brocade robe is covered. Singing at dawn, thousands of doors are opened. (Guess an animal)

"Rooster." I replied easily.

A thin mouth can gnaw hard bones. Eat meat instead of soup, eat melons without chewing beans. (Guess a daily necessities)

"This is, Tiger?" Sui'er guessed unconfidently.

"No, it's a guess at everyday items." I prompted.

"Knives! Kitchen knife! The person in the back wrote down Sui'er's name.

His feet are like thin ox's feet, and his body is like that of a big dog. Walk like a child born after birth, and must be like an old man. (Guess the name of an animal)

"Sheep!" Sui'er blurted out. I suddenly remembered that Sui'er had dealt with this animal before, when a shepherd drove a flock of sheep to Sui'er to graze, and almost ate Sui'er, and then I secretly cast a spell, and in an instant, a gust of wind swept the leaves on my body and swooped towards the sheep, scaring the sheep away.

Ander Hou Yi bow. (Guess the name of a place)

Hou Yi shoots the sun? I think I saw it with my own eyes, so what is the mystery? I thought for a moment, "Shooting the sun? ”

"That's right." The person who recorded it in the back affirmed my answer.

"Where's Sheyang?" Sui'er asked.

"I don't know, casually, hahaha!"
