Moreover, it’s a very coincidence that the horse is the Lantern Festival, and the Song people’s celebration of the Lantern Festival is very grand and lively. On that night, hundreds of thousands of men and women in Lin’ an City will come out to play and celebrate the Lantern Festival. You must not miss it. "
Xin Qiji swallowed and sighed after listening to it.
"Before a little heard or exaggerated, I didn’t think it was really rich in the Song Dynasty. It’s really not a joke. Celebrating Yuanxi in my hometown in the past is also lively, but how can there be hundreds of thousands of people? Even if it is a big celebration of Yuanxi, it will not be so lively. "
Su Yonglin certainly took the Lantern Festival as an important holiday after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, but it was different from the five-day and five-night celebration of the Song Dynasty.
Song people have lantern festivals and temple fairs for five days and five nights from the 14th to 10th of the first month, and officials can take a rest. People in Lin ‘an City will release their purchasing power and desire in those five days.
However, the rule of the great dynasty is that officials have two days off, how can the people celebrate the official’s non-intervention, but officials will continue to devote themselves to the exhausted construction site prison after two days off at most
Su Yonglin, of course, took the lead in charging his country to celebrate Yuanxi, and there was certainly no such atmosphere as "the pleasure of the people and the people" in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Su Yonglin is a workaholic and strict with officials. They are required to put most of their energy to work, and they are not allowed to slack off. It is forbidden for officials to gamble because of personal waste. The court banned gambling games such as horse racing and horse hanging, sweeping away the luxurious scenery of the former dynasty.
But for Xin Qiji surprise Su Changsheng is big shake head.
"That is, Lin ‘an and some coastal big towns are just looking at the bustling."
Speaking of this, Su Changsheng looked disdainful. "If you go deep into some towns, you will know what depression is and people are in hell. The Song Dynasty is a golden treasure, and the whole country has raised a city and a huge city that keeps singing every night, and the whole country is tired."
Xin Qiji just rose and some surprise immediately dissipated.
"Is this really the case?"
"We, the earliest followers, all know that we have traveled all over the southeast coast of Song Dynasty and gone deep into many towns. We have seen too many tragedies with our own eyes, but we can’t see Lin ‘an when we look at Song State."
Su Changsheng repeatedly shook his head.
This is also Richard Xin Qiji nodded with a heavy face.
"Having said that, if you can have such a life, it is also very good. What can you do to make the people live like this? All beings suffer, but who wouldn’t want to be happy? "
Su Changsheng certainly doesn’t know how to answer this question. He knows that the Song people’s method will definitely not work.
However, this does not prevent Xin Qiji from deciding to go to Zhong ‘anqiao Shopping Street Night Market on the evening of the 14th day of the first month to understand a Lin ‘an amorous feelings-what exactly is the situation of a city raised by China?
Just do what you say. Xin Qiji’s mobility has always been very strong.
On the evening of the 14th day of the first month, Xin Qiji disguised himself as five guards and a member of the second action group of Skynet Army, Lin ‘an people, who protected the Song people’s festivals and left the post at sunset and joined the tide of people in Lin ‘an City.
There are so many people.
This is Xin Qiji’s greatest feeling after he set foot in Lin ‘an.
He has always heard from people in the south that Lin ‘an has a population of one million. He thinks this is an exaggeration, but when he sees it today, he thinks that even exaggeration may not be much exaggerated.
A sea of people, a sea of people, people everywhere, and laughter everywhere.
What is even more amazing from Xin Qiji’s observation is that there seem to be more women than men.
Lantern Festival is to put on lights until it gets dark. The city is full of fireworks, and the orange light covers the whole city of Lin ‘an.
At this time, Lin ‘an City is like the only night pearl in the dark earth, so how can such beautiful scenery bind the female footsteps?
When the lights are on, the people come out to visit all night.
These days, ordinary people’s daughters have no scruples about showing their faces, enjoying freedom and beauty, walking around the streets, visiting the streets on both sides, arranging shops as far as the eye can see, and releasing a long-suppressed shopping desire.
The married with children family, two of them, took a pair of children and some elderly people out to play in droves. Their faces were full of smiles at new things, and there was no gender difference.
Compared with ordinary people’s families, bureaucrats’ families and harems’ going out is much more implicit.
To prevent street people from being squeezed and robbed, they pull long circles around silk sections or cloth to isolate outsiders. It is called Zisi Step Barrier or Brocade Step Barrier, which can well reflect everyone’s demeanor and show their identity and status.
Xin Qiji looked at all kinds of lively scenes and new things, and almost forgot his identity and purpose. He was full of surprises and happiness, as if he had gone out with his elders at home to participate in lively festivals when he was young.
Go all the way and ask something he doesn’t quite understand. The man from Lin ‘an was born in Skynet, and he explained it.
What is this and what is that? What are these people doing and what are those people doing?
When walking through a street corner, it was getting dark. Xin Qiji’s eyes caught a glimpse of a small forest on the street. Some young men and women were in groups and didn’t know what to do.
Looking down Xin Qiji’s eyes, the spy also saw the scene and smiled.
"I’m afraid I secretly asked out to meet men and women without telling my elders at home."
"Ah?"
Xin Qiji was quite surprised.
He has read a lot of poems since he was a child, and is deeply influenced by his parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words. Pay attention to a see no evil who is indecent and never frivolous, let alone even look at his hand.
Su Yonglin reformed his political thought, but the scope of the reform did not involve the relationship between men and women. Xin Qiji is still quite conservative. Can you not be surprised to see this at this moment?
This Lin ‘an city men and women … incredibly free love also secretly tryst?
"This decency …"
Xin Qiji muttered 1
"It’s Ouyang Xiu’s poem Lin ‘an after dusk. It’s a common occurrence. Even if the elders know it, they are trying to control it. Otherwise, they will make a bad relationship and do that great thing."
The spy smiled very vaguely.
Xin Qiji suddenly sat up and took notice
"Have you read Ouyang Xiu’s poems?"
"When I was young, I did business at home, and I had a lot of money. I studied with a Mongolian teacher for several years. Later, I learned a lot about literature and ink, and my family was hurt by my enemy. Except for my family, I would have died with my family. If I hadn’t been rescued by Su Zhu, I would have died."
The spy smiled and seemed to get over everything. "But that’s all in the past. It’s all in the past. I don’t think about those past things anymore."
Xin Qiji heard the words and was silent for a while, then patted the spy on the shoulder to talk about comfort.
Chapter 65 Xin Qiji never looked back
During the Lantern Festival, Song people often like fireworks to help the palace, and both the people set off fireworks to attract tourists and ladies.
There are many kinds of fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate festivals in Song Dynasty, including watermelon cannon, lotus boat picking, moon racing, etc. More than 20 kinds of fireworks and firecrackers are set off at night, which makes people see things in a blur.
In addition to fireworks, there are also cultural activities such as social fire, singing and dancing, acrobatics, etc. The opening of a certain place in Lin’ an City Street has attracted tourists to look askance at the wonderful place.
The most interesting thing here is that [Dance Bao Lao] always wears a mask and dances to imitate puppets, which can add a festive atmosphere and spread quickly. There are many participants.
Xin Qiji followed the spy to the dance hall, followed the crowd around him, and the comedians performed funny performances. When they watched the antics and all kinds of funny sounds, they could not help laughing.
A smile means that everyone laughs together, and the atmosphere is warm and cheerful. Xin Qiji also applauds and laughs with the crowd.
There are laity, laity, happiness, literati and elegance, and romantic literati and elegance who prefer solve riddles on the lanterns activities during the Lantern Festival.
A bright lantern with interesting riddles, literati and elegant people with their harem solve riddles one by one, and show their talents and manners in front of them. After guessing, that little gift should be added to the fun.
Compared with these Lantern Festival, the most worth seeing and the greatest atmosphere of the whole festival is lanterns.
Lantern lights light up the street market after nightfall, so that people can walk freely even if there is no sunshine. I don’t know how many lanterns and candles will be burned out in one night.
Compared with the previous dynasties, the lantern system technology in Song Dynasty was greatly improved, and the lamp revolution brought about great changes in daily life.
In addition to all kinds of ordinary lanterns, the Lantern Festival is common in Song Dynasty, and there are also lanterns on the mountain, that is, tents, decorated with lanterns, stacked into a mountain forest, painted with stories that ordinary people like to see and hear, and dreamy from a distance, which also has a special flavor at close range.
People are so lively, of course, the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties should also follow the instructions of the people to have fun and be happy to participate in this grand festival.
Zhao Song Royal Palace, the owner of the highest technical force, set up a lantern mountain, which is naturally more peculiar and created the earliest artificial fountain in China.
The Zhao and Song royal families built the lamp mountain Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and their fingers could automatically spray out five streams. In the bright night light, five streams of water gushed out like a miracle. What if this scene didn’t make the nobles in the palace intoxicated?
Emperor Zhao’s lantern viewing ceremony called stepping on five flowers.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, the Emperor of Zhao will go to the Wuyue Temple to greet the auspicious pool, and when he arrives at Dengshan, the Emperor will turn around Dengshan and watch the lanterns backwards.
Then, the emperor asked the imperial building, the East and West Corners, to entertain the near ministers. At this time, the outside of the festival palace was decorated with lights, and the ocean was brighter than the near ministers, and the people were free to watch it, demonstrating the royal bearing.
On weekdays, the emperor is unattainable. One day, he will become more close to the people. He will deliberately climb the tower and the people will meet and pay tribute to the emperor.
At this time, there are always a lot of people watching the emperor Yan. There are almost no people in Miyagi, but after the event dispersed, many people were squeezed by people and left here without touching the ground.
Finally, some people lost their shoes, some people lost their hats, some people were disheveled, and what else did they do? It was quite funny.
Xin Qiji was not interested in the Zhao and Song royal families, nor in Zhao Gou. He didn’t want to see Zhao Gou’s boring old face, so he went to the food street by Zhong ‘an Bridge.
At this moment, it is also crowded with people. The lights on both sides of the street are more encrypted and brighter than those on other commercial streets, making the street as bright as day.
