The "Rice Seedling Festival" is also called the "Rice Dumping Festival", and there is also the name "Zhaotian Cai", which is a unique festival in the countryside of Wuyue area, and it is said that this custom has been there since the Xia Shang period.

Agricultural production has a fatal weakness, that is, the quality of the yield and harvest depends on the natural conditions, there is a saying of "relying on the sky to eat", therefore, the rice field farmers are very respectful to the "sky", correspondingly, around the whole process of cultivation and production, a series of sacrifices, reward activities and customs.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Yue's rice planting industry has been quite large, Wu and Yue have borrowed money between the two countries, and the ability to repay the "ten thousand stones" rice, in the middle and late Warring States period, it has been at its peak, with two crops of rice, or even three crops of rice.

The first festival after spring ploughing is the "Seedling Festival", where farmers pile up firewood and grass in their fields, light fires, and sometimes throw the burning firewood and grass everywhere in order to achieve a good harvest.

When throwing the torch, it is necessary to sing the greeting loudly: "The torch is thrown high, and the three stones and six buckets are stable; The torch was thrown to the east, and the house was piled up with a rice hoard; The torch is swept to the south, and the people of Guotai are happy in peace; The torches are whipped to the west, and the wind and rain are smooth and the smiles are grinning; The torch is whipped to the north, and the five grains are abundant. ”

Wu Guo also has the custom of singing "Ceres Opera" in the "Seedling Festival", and this year there is also a "Ceres Opera" in Ramie Village.

Since singing opera, how can it be done without singing lyrics, let's first steal the Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda's "Musical Divine Comedy": "The porpoise hooves are full of wine, and the breeze is Xiao Xiao's spirit." May God come and go, and the man will welcome his daughter and dance. The old man smiled and said: This year, Tian Jiasheng is better than last year. Last year, the undressing discount was discounted, and this year there is a clothing festival. ”

If you have the lyrics, you have to have the stage.

Stage? The villagers were stunned, what is the stage? It's your fairy stuff again, but it's not bad to have a fairy thing to see fresh, after all, this immortal thing is not something that anyone can see, I'm afraid even our king may not be able to see this fairy thing.

This is the stage? Isn't it just that the dry adobe is added with wooden boards, and people go to it and jump on it to become a stage?

But this also has the advantage that the people in the back don't have to squeeze to the front, and they can see clearly.

What is this singing, I have never heard this kind of word, this kind of tune, alas, we are mortals, and we don't understand this immortal thing! Can't you get something affordable?

Let's see, or how affordable are we? I know what we want most in the soil, listen to what he says, how good it sounds, that's the real fairy music.

The king's grace, knowing that we suffered a disaster last year, there was no harvest, this year not only borrowed grain for us, no, but also gave us 1,500 stone millet, 1,500 stone, enough for us to last until the new grain harvest, in addition, there are 2,000 knife coins, all of which were given to us by the king, listen clearly, there are no other villages, this is thanks to our Xian, if it were not for a letter from him, I don't know how to live before the rice harvest.

Ye Xiaolang? What about Ye Xiaolang? Come up and tell us what you said in your letter to that Wangcheng official, how did you give us so much money and food as soon as you saw the letterhead?

Ye Xiaolang, Ye Xiaolang......

Ye Mo had already gone back, and was drawing in the newly completed study of the three west wings of Shi Laohan's house, drawing with linen cloth and finely ground charcoal.

The stone bridge is not very difficult, there is a Zhaozhou Bridge that appeared nearly a thousand years later as the prototype, and it is good to copy it as it is, and it does not need to be changed.

The problem is that the material is not easy to get around.

The stones in the mountains that don't cost money can last for thousands of years, but there are no tools for cutting and polishing stones, and besides, there are no stonemasons, and they have not been stripped from carpenters.

Moreover, the carpenter's tools are all axes made of bronze, axes of different sizes and shapes, and there are also chisels, which are also made of bronze and various types of chisels.

Iron tools, we still have to study how to smelt refined iron, without refined iron, the improvement tool is Deng Ziqi's bubble.

It's all bubbles......

As soon as Ye Mo sang five words, he couldn't sing anymore, because Shi He came back.

Shi He is Shi Jing's elder brother and Shi Zheng's eldest son.

Shi He didn't listen to persuasion, took almost all of the family's savings, and went to Chu State to barter with two people from the neighboring village, and after three months, he came back with nine deaths, and the two in the neighboring village were not as lucky as him.

The guest died in a foreign country, and the body did not come back, and he didn't know how to explain to his family, but fortunately, the two of them were in charge of bartering in Chu this time, otherwise, he would not have the face to come back.

No, as soon as the first foot stepped into the house, Auntie and Daddy were first delighted, and the second foot followed up to beat and scold, and her ears were filled with the nagging of governance, and Auntie's complaints, especially when I heard that Shi Ziyi, who was worried about herself, actually gave a concubine to a kid who didn't know where she suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but feel angry, and went straight to Shi Lizheng's theory, but before he could say a few words, he was scolded by Shi Lizheng, and he was even more angry.

If there is fire in the heart, it must be eliminated, and it will not work if it is not eliminated.

Out of Shi Lizheng's house, he walked in a hurry, and he didn't know who he passed by the door, so he picked up a wooden stick with the thickness of an arm, and his face was full of viciousness.

When he arrived at Shi Laohan's house, he didn't say hello, so he entered the courtyard, stood upright, held a wooden stick high, and shouted: Come out, you come out for me.

shouted a few times, and I don't know who this one is referring to.

Shi Ziyi had already seen Shi He, and when he heard his shout, he went out of the house.

The moment he saw Shi Ziyi, Shi He's anger seemed to be a little smaller, and he asked her: Shi Li is not able to tell me?

Shi Ziyi did not show weakness: Which one is wrong with you? You dislike me for being a widow, and now you're fainting, what do you want to do?

Me, I...... You...... You...... I didn't know how to answer all of a sudden, but I happened to see Ye Mo who came out of the house, and suddenly became angry, brandished a stick, and shouted: The kid from there, the person who robbed me, fought with you.

As soon as he took a step, he was snatched the wooden stick by Shi Banyu, who had been following him closely, and pressed his neck: Do you want to mess around? You want to mess with me.

Shi He broke free, pointed to a few people in the courtyard, and trembled: You guys, are you guys joining forces to bully me? Am I really a bully? I...... I......

Look left and right, the flat pole by the door is in his hand, and he shouts at Shi Laohan who came out: I ...... I demolished your broken house, and you didn't make it easy for me, and I didn't make it easy for you.

After a few steps, he arrived at the east room, picked up the flat pole and smashed it against the broken wall.

When Shi Banyu saw him operating like this, he couldn't cry or laugh angrily, and shouted: Okay, you are angry, I will also help you smash, and I will also help you smash it.

Within a few strokes of the two big men, the half-fence wall collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
