Chapter 51 Entertainment Life Song low-rent housing

Then there is the singing, which is said to sing the small words of the song on the drum surface, driving away the false voice, indulging in the palace tune, and calling the fruit to sing and play the song as a whole. On the one hand, "Singing Singing" is accompanied by musical instruments such as drum boards, which seems to be very lively, on the other hand, "Singing Singing" in terms of singing and "driving away the false voice, indulging in the palace tune" (that is, adding "pan glamor"), which seems to be indulgent and unbridled, and the vocal music is combined, which naturally gives people a sense of "obscenity" that is urgent and complicated, lively and indulgent, but it is close to the real life of the citizens, so that "it is one with the singing of the fruit and the music" (that is, it is a category), and has become a kind of singing art that is widely popular in the tile stalls and streets and alleys.

There is also miscellaneous drama, which is a literary style developed on the basis of Zhugong tunes, and is an art form that combines songs, confessions, and dances. "Miscellaneous opera" gradually became a special name for a new form of performance; This new form can indeed be called "miscellaneous", including singing and dancing, music, laughter, and acrobatics, and it is divided into three sections: the first section is called "Yan Duan", and the content of the performance is familiar things in daily life, as an introduction to the formal part; The second section is the main part, presumably performing a story, rap, or dance; The third section is called the scattered section, also called miscellaneous dress, miscellaneous wang, and skill, and the performance is funny, funny, or occasionally acrobatic. Representative figures include Zhang Cuigai, Zhang Cheng's disciples, Xue Zida, Xue Zixiao, Qiao Zhier, Yang Zongxi, Zhou Shounu, etc.

There are also puppet shows, dramas that use puppets to act out stories. During the performance, the actors manipulate the puppets behind the scenes, singing along with music. Depending on the shape of the puppet and the manipulation technique, there are bag puppets, marionettes, stick puppets, and wire puppets. Puppet show is a theatrical form in which actors manipulate wooden dolls behind the scenes to perform them. In ancient China, it was also known as puppet show. Chinese puppetry has a long history, with puppets performing acrobatics during the Three Kingdoms period, and puppets beginning to use puppets to perform stories.

Then there is the shadow play, also known as the "shadow and lantern play". The drama of using paper or leather cuts to make human figures and using lights to reflect on the curtain to operate the drama originated in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. This not only greatly enriches the lives of the people, but also brings great stimulation to the healthy development, stability and economic development of the society.

Tourism also has a certain scale of development, major cities often hold "tourism festivals" to attract tourists, such as the chrysanthemum festival in Kaifeng and the peony festival in Luoyang. During the Luoyang Peony Festival, it is more lively than the New Year, and all the residents in the city, up to the officials and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, all arrange flowers. The festival lasts until the end of the flower.

In terms of diet, steamed buns, steamed buns, and cakes are the staple foods of northerners, and although southern and Sichuan rice are popular in Bianjing, they have not affected the dominance of northern food. There are many northern food shops in Bianjing, such as Xujia Gourd Soup Shop, Majia Soup Shop, Shijia, Qiaotou Jiajia Gourd Soup Shop, all of which are mainly food shops that sell soup, steamed buns have "the first in Beijing" Wanjia steamed buns, Sun Haoshou steamed buns, steamed buns have Wanglou Cave plum blossom steamed buns, Lujia steamed buns and other steamed bun shops, and there are bamboo shoot fern wontons, grout steamed buns, thin-skinned spring cocoon steamed buns, shrimp meat buns, meat oil cakes, sugar meat steamed buns, Taixue steamed buns and other names. In addition, there are oil cake and hu cake shops, which are very large in scale and very specialized. Only Wu Chengwang Temple Haizhou Zhangjia, the Zheng family is the most prosperous in front of the imperial courtyard, each family has more than 50 furnaces.

Southerners eat a lot of fish, and there are no less than one or two hundred fish shops inside and outside Lin'an City. South food shop sells, then there are fish pockets, tung skin cooked noodles, fried fish rice, etc., these restaurants, "each store has the hall and the east and west corridors, called the sitting times, the vegetables and vegetables are fine, it is called to make fasting, each bowl of ten Wen, noodles and meat pavilion, it is called a soup, and there is a single soup, it is half also." In the past, only spoons were used, but now they are all used with chopsticks. These southern restaurants are the most remarkable, with the Siqiao Jin family and the Jiuquzi Zhou family. And the "southern food is the most prosperous" in the sweet water lane in the north of Xiangguo Temple.

As for the Sichuan restaurant sales, there are meat noodles, large boiled noodles, large and small smeared meat, pan-fried roasted pork, mixed fried incidents, raw and cooked cooked rice and so on. The famous snacks are Wanglou plum blossom buns, Cao Granny meat cakes, Xuejia sheep rice, plum blossom goose duck, Cao family food, Xujia soup, Zhengjia oil cakes, Wang cheese, Duanjia Xiwu, Shifeng Bazi meat.

There are rows of restaurants and shops, each with its own characteristics. In ordinary wine shops and restaurants, there are "tea and rice wine doctors", similar to welcome service order staff. The catering industry in Jingshi is the most developed, with many restaurants, the big ones are called the main store, and the small ones are called foot shops (or corner shops). When Kaifeng has 72 main stores and tens of thousands of foot shops. Located outside the Donghua Gate, the Fan Building is the first of the 72 main stores. There are five buildings in Fanlou, each building has a three-story structure, and the decoration is definitely the most luxurious in Kaifeng, which can accommodate thousands of wine guests. The scale is magnificent, and it is close to the imperial palace.

Since our dynasty prohibits private brewing, the official monopoly. There are 203 kinds of liquor in the country, 27 kinds of princes and nobles in Beijing, 28 kinds of Kaifeng Mansion, the best wine is Neikufa wine, the first in the world, only the palace. Liquor is not shochu or distilled, it is a low-alcohol liquor, so you can drink it in a large bowl.

Cultural commodities have also formed new industries, such as poetry, selling words, and selling sour texts, especially "selling sour texts" is the most distinctive. This is a very demanding article, which should be adapted to the situation, improvised, and the words are easy to understand, elegant and vulgar, and it is better to have some humor, and the content of the article is usually specified by the consumer. For example, several nouveau riche who killed pigs got together to drink, and wanted to write the grand occasion of this "group of sages" into a volume, so that future generations can remember and admire. Directly look for someone who sells sour texts, 30 yuan a piece. Vassalage elegance, talk to self-comfort.

In order to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of housing, ensure the normal life of the subjects, and stabilize the society, our dynasty implemented the "low-rent housing" system: the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building a large number of official houses with the funds allocated by the state treasury, and then renting them to the subjects at a low price, while the management work (renting, rent collection, maintenance, etc.) is the responsibility of the "shop house" department. This practice began in Jingshi, and has been successively promoted to various states and counties, and has been continued.

After five generations, the clan of the gate valve collapsed, and the original tribe was able to get rid of the state of personal dependence, obtain the status of a good citizen, and be included in the country's household Qi people. That is, the untouchables in the past, whether they were tribes or slaves, basically disappeared when they arrived in our dynasty, and they all became free people. The household registration system of our dynasty no longer distinguishes the people into "good people" and "untouchables", but divides them into "fangguo households" and "rural households" according to whether they live in the city or the countryside, which means that the urban population has expanded and the citizen class has been formed. According to whether the residents have real estate, they are divided into "main households" and "customers", and then the main households are divided into different households according to the amount of family property. The household registration file of our dynasty is called the "fifth-class Ding property book", which is made up every three years, although it carries the word "Ding", but in fact the division of the fifth-class household has nothing to do with the number of people in each household, but is based on the amount of property of each household.

The DPRK also has a well-developed system for helping young children, with the government paying for the purchase of children sold due to famine, and the adoption of children by the government. The third measure is to adopt abandoned babies, in the famine years and in the middle of winter, there are many abandoned babies, and it is difficult for abandoned babies to be adopted better by relying on the power of the people alone. Governments at all levels in the DPRK have also actively participated in the rescue. Due to the active measures of the imperial court, many local governments have been influenced, and they have also tried to actively adopt abandoned babies. This has led to the further development of the child assistance system in China.

Finally, from the clothing, the characteristics of the taxi, agriculture, industry, and commerce can be recognized. For example, the third rank and above wear purple, the fifth rank and above wear vermilion, the seventh rank and above wear green, and the ninth rank and above wear cyan. In short, because of its remarkable openness and commercial attributes, our dynasty shows a much stronger liquidity and vitality than its predecessors. And then began to show explosive growth in the population, and the current northern part of the country is: 7124296 households, nearly 35621480 people; In the south: 13224760 households, nearly 66123800 people; The total is about: 101745280 people.

Here I have to mention the most humane point of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the establishment of the world's earliest low-rent housing system in Beijing, that is, the shop house, its main source of rooms is the imperial court built on official land; or the imperial court funded the purchase of vacant houses in the market and then carried out unified transformation; There is also a part of the property that has been confiscated due to a crime by the person or the owner of the house; and mortgaged properties confiscated due to failure to repay official debts borrowed by businessmen and people; The other part is the real estate of the household, according to the large population of Beijing and the different requirements of all kinds of people for the living conditions of the house, specially launched high, medium and low various grades and prices of the house type, including 368 villas, the monthly rent of 20 yuan, the monthly rent of high-end residential buildings 2 to 3 yuan, and the monthly rent of low-cost housing is 400 yuan, (the middle and lower class citizens of Beijing Division, whether they are hired workers in the official and private handicraft industries, or as servants for rich and noble families, or set up a stall in the city to do small business, the daily income is basically between 100 and 300 Wen, At that time, the daily expenditure of maintaining the basic food and clothing of an adult was about 20 yuan, and the daily housing expenditure of 15 yuan was equivalent to the cost of eating every day, which was roughly one-tenth of the daily income of the people in the market, which was definitely not high).

In addition, for renters, they can also enjoy the preferential care system of the imperial court, and reduce the rent in case of disaster weather; The imperial court was also very humane, prohibiting arbitrary increases in the rent of public housing and setting up fixed rents; Poor households renting public housing can enjoy rent-free care during holidays; For those who rent public housing, the rent will be calculated free of charge for the first five days and the sixth day from the sixth day; In the event that public housing needs to be demolished, tenants can get moving money. The store house management system is to send special personnel to guard the empty houses that have not yet been rented out; There are 28 kinds of account books that need to be registered every day, including the old pipe storage book, monthly payment book, rent book, rent book, underpayment book, money calendar, field calendar, family official calendar, accommodation calendar, price reduction book, loan book, entry and exit material book, official property book, new and old collapsed house book, etc.), there is a strict review system for renters, to prevent second landlords and managers from renting shop house public housing, and citizens who have real estate in Beijing are not allowed to rent shop house house public housing. The purpose of the store's housekeeping is to increase financial revenue; set up a special fund for public welfare; Solve the housing problem of low- and middle-income people. Because a mansion to be purchased in Beijing requires more than 100,000 yuan. This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and the introduction of shop and house affairs has allowed the residents of Jingshi to completely get rid of the status of house slaves.
