Chapter 178: The Prosperous Capital of Wucheng
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novel reading...... After the sand boats of the Dragon Soul Gang entered Yangzhou City along the canal, they retreated, and the sailors at the helm of the cāo sails rested their work
At this time, it was nearly late, so Ling Tan ordered someone to go to the restaurant in the city to book a table and send it to Zee on the boat
Ji Aojian saw Xiao Xun's appearance and said, "Xiao Xun, you go buy some lanterns, and we will put lights on the boat at night."
Xiao Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and happily followed the people of the Dragon Soul Gang ashore
After nightfall, the boat pushes a glass and raises a lamp while watching the lantern festival lights
But seeing the fireworks in Yangzhou City, the fireworks are constantly rising, the fire trees and silver flowers are very bright, and the bright moon in the sky is even brighter
The ancients said that the world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou, and it is indeed true."
Ji Ao Kendao, "Lord Lingrud, you are very poetic."
Ling Tan said, "Ji Gongzi, since my name is Santan Yinyue, I naturally like poems related to the moon, and the ancients also have a poem called the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night, which also refers to the moonlight in Yangzhou."
Ji Aojian suddenly remembered that he also had an alternate name called Ji Xiaoyue, if the eighth sister was in Chaochao, she would definitely say that she and Yue also had a great fate
He looked at the moon at the zenith, and suddenly he didn't like it very much
At this time, a gang member asked, "Lord Lingruo, why is the moon in Yangzhou particularly round?"
Ling Tan said, "Yangzhou has been a place of flowers since ancient times, what 'fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March', '100,000 yuan around the waist, riding cranes down to Yangzhou', 'Yangzhou dream in ten years, winning the name of Qinglou Bo Xing', are all literati and ink writers to describe the prosperity and joy of Yangzhou Since there are so many poets praising Yangzhou, the moon in Yangzhou is also extraordinarily round."
The gang understood, "It turns out that Yangzhou is also a place famous for green buildings, how does that compare with the Qinhuai River in Jinling?"
Ling Tan Zhengse said, "This kind of question, you have to ask Captain Ding is I a disciple of a famous sect, I have always been clean and self-conscious, how can I compare these places?"
Ji Aojian thought that Captain Ding had taken the initiative to inquire about the location of the Qin Huai River to him a few years ago, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Lingruo, you are really a righteous gentleman."
Ling Tan said modestly, "Where, where, Ling Mou is just holding and earning, this is the basic cāo guard of walking the rivers and lakes."
I only heard Ji Yeai's voice coming from the cabin, "The moon in Yangzhou is particularly round, because Yangzhou is not only a prosperous place, but also a city of suffering, the bright moon overlooks the ancient and modern, witnessing the rise and fall, and feels very bright in the eyes of the poet."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Xiao Xun shouted first, "I understand, Yangzhou ten days!"
Two hundred years ago, the Qing soldiers slaughtered Yangzhou for ten days in a row and slaughtered an empty city
Everyone remembered this tragic incident, nodded in unison, and sighed, "Yangzhou is really very miserable"
Ji Ye Ai said, "Far more than that, Yangzhou has had another name since ancient times, which is Wucheng"
Speaking of the history of Yangzhou's catastrophe, as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it had been repeatedly affected by the Northern Wei Dynasty's attack on Liu Song, Hou Jing's rebellion against Xiao Liang, and the soldiers' fingers all turned Yangzhou into a wasteland
At that time, a great poet saw that the city of Yangzhou was barren and wrote the famous article "Wucheng Fu", and Yangzhou has been known as "Wucheng" since then
On the occasion of the Two Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded the south at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchus went south and twice caused Yangzhou to suffer the difficulty of destroying the city
However, Yangzhou is also a tenacious city, and every time it suffers from the devastation of war, it can be reborn from the ashes and rise from the ruins
In the time and space that Ji Aojian has visited, before China entered modern history, although Běi Jing is the didu of the center of the world, although Guangzhou has the prosperity of thirteen foreign companies, but when it comes to the most prosperous city in China at this time, it should be Yangzhou As for the future magic capital, it is still a reed beach
Therefore, Yangzhou is not only a prosperous capital, but also Wucheng, just like China, has a splendid civilization that leads the world, but also has a tragic encounter that has been sunk in blood and fire
Ji Yaai plucked the strings and played a pure and clear tune, unfolding an ethereal and dreamy moonlight in everyone's hearts
"Life is infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year......"
This song is "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night", the bright moon on the river has seen the vicissitudes of Yangzhou, seen the changes in the world, and watched the river flow for thousands of years
After the song was played, everyone's minds were already intoxicated by the clear moon in the sky, and they didn't make a sound for a long time
The sound of firecrackers in the distance sounded continuously, and the firecrackers of this Lantern Festival were often more violent than Chinese New Year's Eve, finally waking everyone up
I saw that above the water flow of the canal, there were already a little lights lit up, floating with the waves
Xiao Xun saw that there were more people who put the river lanterns, and clapped his hands and said, "Young master, we will also start putting the lanterns"
Before the Industrial Revolution, almost any city on the earth was dark after nightfall, and only when it came to the Festival of Lights, the city was full of fire, and the magnificent atmosphere of the city that never sleeped
Ling Tan said, "This river lantern is the custom of the Midyear Festival, and it should not be put on the Shangyuan Festival."
July 15 Zhongyuan Festival, is the Ghost Festival, and the Shangyuan Festival to put lanterns is the same as the Lantern Festival is the People's Festival, put lights on the land, Zhongyuan is the Ghost Festival, put lights on the water However, when the Lantern Festival, people go to the water's edge to put river lanterns, and they are unconsciously popular
Ji Ao splashed, "Rules are used to break, things that everyone likes, it doesn't matter if you do them."
Ling Tan sighed, "What Master Ji said really makes sense, it's okay if everyone does it together, there is a word called the law does not blame the public, so God will not blame it."
Ji Aojian thought, you actually know that you don't even blame the public, in fact, there is a crime called gathering crowds to make trouble
Just listen to the little seeker, "There is another word called how bold people are"
Everyone clapped their hands together and said, "What Miss Xiaoxun said is very true"
So everyone on the boat stood up and put their lights in the canal
Xiao Xun handed Ji Aojian a Kong Ming lantern, "Childe, if you put this lamp, you will have a great future, and you will have a long journey."
This Kong Ming lantern is to put the sky lantern Ji Aojian lit it, put it in the air, saw it swaying, floating towards the Moon Palace, and silently wished in his heart: May I have no more disasters in China
Ji Yeai heard the lights outside, and said with a smile, "The song I played just now was too light, today is the Lantern Festival, what else do you want to hear?"
Ling Tan said distressedly, "The brothers in our gang are all rough people, I don't know what ancient songs are."
Ji Ao said, "Lord Lingrud, you are very talented, can't you think of a song?"
Ling Tan said, "I only know that the mountains and rivers are flat and the sand is falling, and I have also heard that there is a Guangling San, which is a very famous ancient song."
Ji Yeai sighed, "Guangling is the ancient name of Yangzhou, this is very appropriate, but unfortunately this song has been lost."
Ji Aojian remembered that in the story of Xiaoao Jianghu, the Demon Sect elder Qu Yang dug the graves of many ancients and found the music score of Guangling San
Xiao Xun said, "If you want to say that it is appropriate for the situation, it is good to find a song with a moon."
Ling Tan said, "Miss Ai, is there a song about the Three Pools of the Moon?"
Himeya Ai said, "Yes"
Ling Tan was taken aback, "So there really is?"
He only asked casually because of his swordsmanship and nickname Santan Yinyue
Ji Ye Ai said, "Santan Yinyue is another name for the autumn moon in the Han Palace, but this song is about the grievances and sorrows of the palace maids, and the tune is lonely and cold, but it is not suitable for playing tonight."
When everyone heard this, they nodded again and again, in the Lantern Festival, what kind of palace maid sorrow and joy to listen to
Ji Aojian coughed, "Actually, in addition to the three pools of the moon, there are also two springs reflecting the moon."
Everyone looked at him together, "What kind of song is this, isn't it very cheerful?"
Ji Aojian suddenly came to his senses and said embarrassedly, "This piece is from the wild score, and it is also a sad tune, so it is not suitable for playing."
The three pools of the moon and the two springs reflect the moon, the names are similar, the scenes are similar, and the artistic conception is the same
Xiao Xun came up with an idea and said, "Why don't you have a jasmine song?"
Jasmine is a famous song in the south of the Yangtze River, with a beautiful tune, and the Lantern Festival is also good
Ji Aojian thought of a song in the future again, and clapped his hands suddenly, "There is, Xiaoqiu Yueming!"
Ji Ye Ai was embarrassed, "Brother, I don't know this song, could it be that it is from the wild score again?"
In a short period of time, she heard two tunes in succession that she had never seen before, and she felt very shocked
Ji Ao said, this is an ancient famous song on the Internet in later generations, you naturally haven't heard it, "Xiao Ai, you'll know if I sing it once"
There are lanterns and riddles in this song, which is the most suitable for the theme of the Lantern Festival
After listening to his brother's singing, Ji Yaai meditated for a moment and smiled, "It's really a good song, I'll play it out."
