Chapter 254: The Tang Dynasty People Who Love Spring Outings
For farmers, spring is a busy period of farming. They are so busy that they are so busy that they are sweating in the sun. It is the most difficult season.
But for the aristocrats who exploited the working people and the urbanites who had no land, spring was a very comfortable season.
The sun is shining brightly, the breeze is blowing, the temperature is pleasant, and the mountain flowers are blooming. It is a good time to go out in spring.
There were no otakus or otakus in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone liked sports, especially outdoor sports, such as polo, Cuju, and hunting. Everyone from nobles to common people loved them.
People in the Tang Dynasty had to sing and dance even when they were having dinner. When spring came, it was natural for the whole family to go on a youth tour, singing and dancing.
The aristocratic ladies in the town have sent Lin Wanwan several invitations, inviting her to travel with them, but Lin Wanwan is also a farm girl with roots in the countryside, so she has no time.
She wants to teach everyone how to grow cotton scientifically, distribute sweet potato seedlings and corn seedlings to everyone, and get cold melon seedlings to sell. Then she has to teach everyone how to raise chickens and ducks, and she also has to give lessons to the children. She is really busy.
After everything finally came to an end, Lin Wanwan took some time out and began to maintain her social life.
In modern times, she could be a loner and live her own life behind closed doors, but that was absolutely not possible in the Tang Dynasty. The social system did not allow it. A wealthy loner would most likely end up being swallowed up by powerful men.
Since you don't want to rebel and can't be defeated, you can only join.
So Lin Wanwan bought a batch of invitations from a modern boutique and started posting invitations to invite people to travel together. Even though her calligraphy was mediocre at best, the exquisite industrial invitation packaging still made the recipients' eyes shine.
.
Smelling the light fragrance and the post with light flower reliefs, everyone's evaluation of Le'an Xiangjun went up a notch.
Luang County has many mountains, water, and temples. When people travel, they just want to see the mountains, water, and worship Buddha.
Lin Wanwan looked at the rolling mountains and rivers around Linjiazhuang and thought, why bother looking far away? She could just develop a good place for spring outing nearby.
It doesn’t have to be the popular Hou Tao Mountain, just choose Waiyou Mountain which is a little away from Linjiazhuang but not too far.
Based on the maps of later generations, Lin Wanwan picked a small mountain peak that was neither high nor short, put on Hu clothes and convenient boots to explore the mountains, and was able to climb to the top plain in half an hour.
It's a flat river here, and if you climb further up, you'll reach the really steep top of the mountain in just ten minutes.
This year we didn’t have time to open up a mountain trail to facilitate horse-drawn carriages going up and down, but it was not difficult to set up a few simple horse-drawn carriage storage rooms with tents at the foot of the mountain.
Then she asked Wang Du, who was used to cooperating with her in Wanghai Town, to come over and bring enough people. It would not be difficult to build two pavilions on the mountain top plain.
These preparations only took five days, and they were all completed under the financial offensive. The infrastructure madness has been engraved in the genes of the Chinese people from ancient times to the present.
On the day of the spring outing, Lin Wanwan took the whole family together, leaving only A Jing, a mute girl who didn't like to communicate with others, and her grandma, who was in poor health, to look after the house.
At the foot of the mountain, the temporary carriage and horse racing "attendants" are served by women from nearby villages who spontaneously bring their 13 or 14-year-old middle-aged men who are unable to work in the fields at home to act as "waiters" in order to earn some extra money.
Girls from the Zhang family, Shi family, Wang family, Fang family, and Fan family arrived one after another on horseback or in carriages.
There was nothing visible at the foot of the mountain, but when they climbed up the mountain and came to the plain on the top of the mountain, a picture of a spring outing with flowers and brocades came into view.
In the open field with luxuriant grass, there are two brand-new pavilions with floating white gauze curtains, and a row of uniform felt tents tied against the trees and stones.
There is also a large, weird-looking cloth shed (a modern Oxford cloth canopy awning) in the middle. Below it is a row of restaurants dressed in white clothes. Long tables covered with white cloth are arranged in a zigzag shape, and they are already full of food.
Various pastries and fruits are mostly served in glass cups.
Hundreds of children in uniform black and red uniforms were running around in the wilderness and burrowing in the felt tents, singing, laughing, and shouting endlessly.
We have spring outings every year, but this is the first time for everyone to see such a grand spring outing. This is a reserved place!
Just the carpets on the floor, the white cloths on the tables, and the white gauze hanging in the pavilion are already amazing, not to mention there are so many unheard-of new pastries and sparkling glass cups!
In previous spring outings, everyone liked to camp at Tashan Mountain on the edge of Xiaoxi Town. Regardless of high or low, everyone would get together for spring outings.
Noble ladies like to use thick curtains of various colors to distinguish themselves from the common people; while literati like to sit on the floor, use half-covered screens to block out the mountain scenery, recite poems, compose poems, and fencing for fun; there are also many businessmen and common people.
Sitting on an ox cart with a felt tent, we find a corner to set up tents, sing and dance, and enjoy the spring and people. The important thing is to participate.
For the Tang people, the spring outing season is no different from the blind date season, only slightly less lively than the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival, which is the key to carnival in the city, only lasts for three days and three nights, but the spring outing can last from February to May.
Every sunny day with high wind and clear air, there are groups of people calling their children and daughters to go out for spring outings.
This group of people have been on spring outings several times this year. This time they were invited to come, but they were not very interested.
After all, what you enjoy during a spring outing is not only the scenery, but also the people.
Although the spring outing spot in Tashan Mountain is a mixed bag, there are also many people, making it suitable for fame and blind dates. It is said that you look at the scenery on the bridge, and those who look at the scenery look at you on the bridge.
But Lin Wanwan did something a little different this time. The location was chosen in a remote rural area - oh no, it was a quiet and fresh place. There were only a few invited girls. Looking around, except for the male servants, there was no one in bright clothes.
Ma Shaolang, the function of blind date is broken.
Let's see how Le'an Xiangjun will play tricks.
Lin Wanwan is actually not good at organizing this kind of thing, but it doesn't matter, she has money! She found a modern planning company and asked them to come up with an antique spring outing plan, and everything was taken care of.
Spring outings don’t have a lot of rules for hosting a party, just do whatever makes you happy.
Lin Wanwan thought that this time she could promote the Waiyu Mountain area and make it a check-in point for spring and autumn outings for people across Luan County. The villages living near the foot of the mountain can all be considered to be backed by tourist attractions.
Selling snacks and looking at the carriages and horses can subsidize a lot of money.
In fact, the people of the Tang Dynasty loved to follow the trends of the aristocrats, especially girls. From clothing styles to makeup and hairstyles, anyone who had the strength to follow the trends would definitely imitate them.
The nobles follow the trend of the court, and the people follow the trend of the nobles, and so on.
Just like during the Li rule period, the court liked to expose breasts, so the people showed off their breasts in droves.
So much so that Li Zhi had to issue an edict not to allow too much exposure, which was similar to the standards of modern tyrants. He really worried about the folk customs.
