Chapter 84: Tak and Lou

Approaching July 15, the city of Zhenzhou is very lively.

July 15 is the Tang Bon Festival, which is called Buddhism.

And Taoism, for this day, there is another name, the Midyear Festival

It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, although Taoism was the state religion, among the people, Buddhism seemed to be more acceptable, so the Tang people preferred to call July 15 as Obon.

Both Buddhism and Taoism attach great importance to this day.

Buddhism opens the door to convenience and preaches the scriptures.

Taoism sets up altars to drive away ghosts and pray for blessings.

There are also countless believers who pray sincerely, and even the people of the Tang Dynasty who do not believe in religion will play on this day, making the Obon Festival even more lively.

And in Zhenzhou City, which has been dry for three years, there is another lively event - the opening of Dehe Building!

Speaking of this Dehe Building, it is not simple.

It is located on the most prosperous cross street in Zhenzhou, with two floors and facing the street.

The construction began at the beginning of June, only more than a month, and it has already risen from the ground, this speed, in the Qianfu years, is really a bit amazing, you know, with the construction speed of the Qianfu years, it will take nearly two months to build a few thatched houses in the countryside.

Moreover, the materials used in Dehe Building are very exquisite, the workmanship is very fine, and there is no shoddy work brought about by the rush at all.

Not only that, but even the layout inside is very different from the others.

Different from ordinary street-facing pavilions, the main entrance of Dehe Building is not very wide, allowing only three people to walk side by side.

Both sides of the gate are completely closed, not at all like ordinary street pavilions, and I can't wait to remove the entire wall of the first floor facing the street.

The space on the first floor is very vast, even the common columns, are gone, the most peculiar thing is that the top of the first floor is not closed at all, and you can see the roof of the second floor when you look up from the first floor.

The so-called second floor is just above the first floor, leaning against the outer wall, circled on three sides, and is also divided into small boxes, the front and back are transparent, as long as you open the window, you can tell the situation on the first floor at a glance.

And the most exquisite place of the whole Dehe Building, it is actually a high platform facing the gate, about 50 steps long, about 30 steps wide, five feet above the ground, three sides are surrounded by a three-foot wooden fence, there is a curtain behind it, there is a curtain on the left and right, above the curtain on the left side, it is written "out of the general", and the right side is written "into the phase".

That's how weird, how weird.

It is said that it is a restaurant, but it is not like it, it is said that it is a restaurant, it is even more wrong, but some people really speculate that this Dehe Building, is it not a theater building? But it was quickly overturned, even if it is a theater building, there is no such style......

The people of Zhenzhou City, the more they speculate, the more curious they are, and the more curious they are, the more they look forward to Dehelou.

Approaching July 15, Dehe Lou posted a notice, Obon Festival, opened, and it was the appetite of everyone in Zhenzhou City.

This kind of hunger marketing routine is naturally Yang Fenglou's handiwork.

This Dehe Building is a new type of theater specially built by Li Gongzi for Guihe Class under the detailed guidance of Yang Fenglou, and its shape is completely imitating the theater building during the Republic of China.

In order to achieve the most ideal effect for the performance of Guiheban, Yang Fenglou took great pains to create Dehe Building.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The people in Zhenzhou City, all kinds of weirdness of Dehelou, but they didn't talk about it at all, they saw the weirdness of Dehelou, just floating on the surface, the real fundamental things, are covered in the careful construction of Dehelou.

For example, the ceiling on the second floor of Dehe Building did not choose the sloped roof commonly used in the Tang Dynasty construction method at all, but used the method of stacking roof trusses to build a caisson well, with a wide opening and a depth of more than one zhang, like an invisible bowl, buckled above the stage.

At the bottom of the stage, Yang Fenglou even specially mentioned Li Sirui and asked him to find five large vats, which were buried under the stage without objects.

Whether it is the caisson overhead or the vat under the stage, it can allow Guiheban to spread the sound farther when performing.

In addition, I also made a lot of machine sets before and after the stage, and I only waited for the performance to be suitable for the repertoire, and I tried to make it refreshing.

At the same time, Guiheban is also stepping up rehearsals to be familiar with the repertoire, and Nie Yijin was even urged by Yang Fenglou to jump up and down, so he almost rehearsed Peking Opera day and night.

Guiheban arrived in Zhenzhou on the seventh day of the seventh month, and in the intense rehearsal, he finally waited until July 15.

Tak Wo Building officially opened!

Firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, and two teams of people were invited to dance the lion and dragon, and naturally there was a lively scene.

As the owner of Dehe Building, Li Sirui made his first official appearance, and under the congratulations of everyone, he ripped off the red silk on the plaque, and the three words "Dehe Building" in gold letters on a black background shone brightly under the sun.

At the same time, someone also ripped off the two red silks on the doorpost, revealing a couplet:

"The stage is small, the world is big!"

Li Sirui, the young proprietor of Dehe Building, said loudly with a red face and a smile: "Thanks to the love of all the fathers and fellow villagers, the Dehe Lou Theater is officially opened, and the famous Peking Opera class Guihe Class is invited from the capital Chang'an, to perform in the Dehe Building, the performance content is Peking Opera, and it will not disappoint everyone, please take a look at your face, and ...... your face."

After finishing speaking, he beckoned to the many relatives and friends he had invited, and handed over the rest to the hired treasurer.

The shopkeeper of Dehe Lou is surnamed Xie, in his forties, and he is very eloquent, and when he saw the owner leaving, he couldn't help but say loudly:

"Dehe Building opening reward, the original price of 30 Wen tickets, now only 3 Wen can enter the play, another free cup of green tea, you can add water three times, and there are dried and fresh fruits, please taste ......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now the owner of the building said, at the beginning of the opening of the Dehe Building, I invited the famous Peking Opera class of the capital to perform in my Dehe Building, the opportunity is really rare, please seize the opportunity, don't miss it......"

When everyone outside the building heard this, they gasped, they didn't know much about what Peking Opera class to, but they had a personal understanding of the thirty yuan, which was enough to go to the restaurant, and they wanted to serve two old wines and a pot of small dishes, but when they arrived at Dehe Building, they changed a cup of tea to drink?

What kind of tea is this, and why is it so expensive?

Besides, what is Peking Opera?

If you can't say anything clearly, you dare to ask for thirty wen?

This Dehe Building is dark enough!

However, everyone thought about it, the tea that was originally thirty wen is now only three yuan, isn't it a big bargain!?

I didn't say it, I don't take advantage of it, king-bastard!

People who have already had good deeds take out three pennies to see something new.

Driven by them, some people have donated money one after another.

Not long after, in the Dehe Building, there was already a lot of people.

Li Sirui and several other sons of similar age sat in the best box on the second floor, looking at the hustle and bustle downstairs, and couldn't help but smile.

A young man next to him smiled lightly.

"Li Liu, you kid is usually the most picky, but I didn't expect that in silence, you would do such a big deal, which is really impressive, but what is this Peking Opera, give our brothers a thorough ......"

Li Sirui smiled slightly, remembering Yang Fenglou's confident appearance, he couldn't help but learn to say:

"Peking Opera? haha...... Just look at it!"
