When Jiao Na heard this, she became interested and said happily: "We have been giving alms for so long, go in and drink a bowl of porridge, and also enjoy the feeling of being almsged." ”
Ren Qiang opened the enchantment, and the four of them walked in, sitting at the humble dinner table, and each of them ate a bowl of cornmeal porridge.
provoked Jiaona to stick out her tongue.
Coming out of Food Street, a group of four people came to Toy Street again.
Ren Qiang continued:
"Toy Street is on the west side of the temple, more than 200 meters long, and it is also connected by a shed. There are a variety of local and foreign toys.
"There are small red tassel guns, small wooden knives, small noodle people, noodle dogs, noodle rabbits, etc., which are painted in various colors. Such small items are inexpensive.
"Next to the toy street is the entertainment street, there are storytellers, playing Western scenes, pulling foreign films, juggling, playing magic, some singing, and some makeup singing.
"There is also an entertainment street in the west of the temple, commonly known as the place of mass graves, which is mainly a place for performing tricks. Those who run the rivers and lakes to perform their arts, every time they go to the temple fair, they set up a show here. The people who rush to the temple fair will go to whichever venue is lively.
"But there are also people who don't come here to do martial arts performances to make money, such as people who practice plum blossom boxing in Matian Village and Tanglin in this county, who go to the temple fair to perform martial arts, and secretly protect the big businesses that come to the temple fair.
"At the southern end of Entertainment Street is the theater. There are bangzi and drama reviews, and three times a day to unpack. Some wealthy people chartered the venue and let people watch it casually. Then asked Qi Xiaoting: "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
"Rich tenants?" Qi Xiaoting asked.
Ren Qiang: "Yes. Rich people, you pack a game, he packs a game, or a day. Basically, the entire temple fair is chartered, which is also a form of charity. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Our time is tight, so we don't have time to calm down and watch the play." You still lead us to see the most lively, the most representative, table, big, temple, and meeting characteristics! ”
Ren Qiang: "The most representative of the big temple fair, in addition to people in the major halls incense, make wishes, is the village tea shed."
"The tea shack meeting is organized spontaneously by each village to do fúù for the pilgrims of the Cui Mu temple fair. The leader is called the leader.
"By the end of the second lunar month, each village will set up tea sheds on the road to Cui's mother, offer statues of gods, set up tables and stools, prepare tea and food, and arrange accommodation. Waiting for the arrival of pilgrims in yellow hoods.
"Some villages have several tea sheds. Large tea sheds such as Cao Zhuang in Wangjun Township, Yang Su in Yuanmenzhuang Township, Puzhuang in Tanglin Township, Dongqinghua in Yuanliuchang Township, Damaozhuang in Wangchang Township, Jiuxian County, Juanzi, Daying and other villages have large tea sheds.
The tea sheds of these villages will be pasted every year to "drive", first in the tea shed built with straw, reeds to tie the frame, and then with colored paper paste into the statues of Cui's mother and grandmother, the undead tube, Wei Tuo and other gods, and some also paste three grandmothers (that is, Taishan Yunxiao, Linqing Qiongxiao, Jianjin Prefecture Bixiao) statues.
The small tea shed will be hung with the statue of Cui's mother and grandmother, in case the pilgrims from the south to the north burn incense and kowtow to make incense money.
There are also gongs, drums and cymbals in the tea shed for good men and women to chant sutras and chant Buddha at night. There are people on duty day and night, and there are needles and threads, etc., to turn to pilgrims to solve problems. Vehicles are also available to pick up and drop off pilgrims who have difficulty walking or are ill.
"The funds for the tea shack come from a variety of channels, and the villagers are collected, including the villagers' spontaneous payment of good money or vow money, the incense money of pilgrims, and the collection of "security word" money from surrounding villages, and so on.
"The tea shed will accumulate years of income to buy mats, poles, tables, stools, bedding, dishes and chopsticks and other necessary supplies for the tea shed. After the meeting, it is usually leased to users for weddings and funerals, which also increases the income of the tea shed.
"Performance: The 'performance' of the Tea Shed is a big huódòng and another source of income for the Tea Shed.
The people of the tea shack party carried the paper-paste Cui's mother and grandmother in a sedan chair, with a three-eyed gun in front and gongs, drums, cymbals and other musical instruments in the back, and walked around the surrounding villages. This is "acting".
Everywhere he went, he invited some people who watched the excitement and people who asked for peace to pick up the "driver". Those who ask for peace welcome and "drive" kowtow, burn incense, and make incense money.
Then there is the people of the tea shack who scatter the "security word" to collect money. The word "security" is written on 16 or 32 open yellow paper, written with a red pen, and then cut into triangles with matchbox-sized red and green paper, and pasted on the two lower corners of the yellow paper. This is the loose "security word".
"They found people in the village and sent them from house to house, collecting three or five copper coins. The recipient will place the word "security" under the incense burner in the Guan Ye Hall inside the gate, revealing the word "security" outward. It is a certificate of Cui's mother and grandmother's blessing.
"Entering: The tea shed will 'enter the drive', and it is the tea shed that will send the paper-paste Cui's mother and grandmother to the Cui's mother temple fair to be burned.
"The burning site is in front of Kongjia Village, on the northwest corner of Jingjia Village. This is also the most lively and grand scene at the Cui Mu Temple Fair. There are a lot of people who come to see 'getting into the car'.
"'Entering the car' starts on March 15 and ends at the end of March. Before driving, you must contact the date with Cui Mu at the temple fair. When I went, it was the three-eyed pistol that opened the way, the drums, gongs, cymbals, and bands were led, and the martial arts team was 'escorted' with knives and guns.
"People are holding the flags of the tea sheds with red edges and yellow hearts, and there are also lion dancers, dragon lanterns, stilts, and rowing boats. The people who go from morning to night, one after another, each tea shed will be compared with lions, dragon lanterns, stilts, martial arts, drums, crowds of people, lively and extraordinary. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Isn't it March 15 today?" Let's get in and drive. ”
A group of four people came to the south of Kongtou Village and the northwest corner of Jingjia Village, where there were lights everywhere, flags hunting, gongs and drums were noisy, a festive and peaceful scene.
The competition of the tea shack in several villages is also fierce, and the atmosphere around the stadium is very high.
A dragon dance competition is underway, and it is Yang Su's dragon dance team that appears.
Yang Su danced a thirteen-section colored dragon, a young man with a dragon dance stick held the dragon head high, dancing vigorously, behind him more than a dozen young men followed, twisting, waving, up, down, the dragon body swinging left and right.
A middle-aged man (treasure man) in front of the dragon holds a long rod, and a huge ball (dragon treasure) is erected on the top of the rod as a guide. The giant ball swayed back and forth, left and right, and the dragon's head was in the shape of grabbing the ball, causing the dragon's body to swim and fly.
In the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, the dragon rises and jumps with the drum. Suddenly towering, as if flying into the clouds, there is a great tendency to soar the clouds and drive the fog; Suddenly, it was low, like waves entering the river, like a dragon entering the sea.
The meandering dragon blooms Jiaona's flirtatious heart, and the five bodies of envy of the folk dragon craftsmanship are thrown to the ground.
Actually, the dragon's body is black and covered in dragon scales. What distinguishes the beauty and ugliness of dragons lies in the brightness of dragon scales. Then there is the placement of the facial features of the Dragon Alliance. Even the most beautiful flower dragon only has a few red scales on its body.
Jiao Na looked at the colorful and beautiful "dragon body", and thought to herself: How nice it would be if I had such a body, the dragons must be impressed when they see me.
Thinking about it in my heart, where can I still hold it! Transform into your real body, dive into the bron, and wriggle and fly with the gongs and drums.
The dragon dance felt a lot lighter at hand. Next, it was not them who danced the dragon, but the dragon who moved with them, and they just walked with their hands dragging the dragon dance stick.
The treasure trickster in front of the dragon can see the strangeness. Because he found that the prop dragon's eyes could move, and they radiated golden light. Exhaled hot air from his nose and mouth, blowing into his face from time to time with the swing of the faucet.
At this point, the game is at a critical juncture, and there is no room for mistakes. As a guide to play treasure, I understand this importance better. Facing the spiritual Longmu, I thought to myself: This must be the manifestation of Cui's mother and grandmother, helping Yangsu Village to fight for the first mile!
Thinking like this in his heart, he was not afraid, and still calmly waved the dragon ball, directing the dragon to fly up and down.
Jiao Na danced happily, and suddenly surpassed the height, and the dragon dance stick broke away from the control of the dragon dancer and flew up with the dragon body.
Because it's a game, it's crowded with people. When the people saw the dragon dance flying, they all shouted in surprise and cheered. Those who saw it from afar also rushed to this side.
Seeing the cheers of the people, Jiaona was even more uncontrollable, constantly shaking her head and tail, making all kinds of cheerful movements. I couldn't help but flip a few times in mid-air.
Qi Xiaoting saw that it was strange, turned her head to look around, and saw that Jiao Na was gone, knowing that this was Jiao Na's doing, she couldn't help but reprimand: "Jiao Na, don't make a mistake!" ”
When Jiao Na heard this, she knew that she had "crossed the rules", so she hurriedly restrained her actions, leveled her body, and fell steadily in place.
When the dragon dancer saw the dragon falling, he hurriedly grabbed the dragon dance stick, and under the command of the treasure man, he continued to dance.
The treasure trickster thought that this was the manifestation of Cui's mother and grandmother, and she was helping her side win, so she was not shocked, and still commanded.
Due to the relatively short time, in the eyes of the onlookers and the presiding referee, it was the dragon dancer who played a superb skill, threw the dragon into the air and danced, and then steadily caught it and continued to dance. There was no suspicion that there was anything strange about it.
All the judges praised Yang Su's dragon dance team in their hearts, and when they were evaluated, Yang Su was ranked first and awarded the special dragon dance team.
Implicit in the book:
Due to Jiaona's "participation", Yang Su's dragon dance team was rumored to be a myth, and its reputation was greatly boosted. Not only won the championship at the Cui Mu Temple Fair, but also was awarded the unique special dragon dance team by the county. In the future, wherever there is a celebration of huódòng, they will come and invite them to join in the fun.
Although the people of the dragon dance team felt that this was strange, they were convinced that it was the help of the gods and intended to make their dragon dance team outstanding, and they were extremely proud and confident in the dragon dance.
Seeing that people come to invite from time to time, there is a lot of income every time, and the momentum of the dragon dance is greater, and a prop dragon dances like a real dragon, flying up and down, making all kinds of wonderful movements. Their dragon dance team is also known as the "Dragon Team"! That's for later.
Qi Xiaoting saw Jiaona's innocent foul, and she was angry and worried. Afraid of another accident, he took her hand, and after a few hasty views, he ended this operation to collect legends, traveled through time and space, and returned to the place where he left after the Spring Festival in the Western Regions.
