Chapter 52: Release Ceremony [Please recommend and collect]
Earlier today, I asked for a recommendation. If there is space on the bookshelf, I would like to save it. Thank you for the famous kilns.

"What, a release ceremony is held on Sunday?" Li Shan said while eating in the evening, and Li Feng was stunned and exclaimed.
It has been many years since we held a release ceremony. Besides, now that the month is fine, there is no need to prepare some food outside in the wind and sun.
"What's going on with this release ceremony?" Mr. Lin is not 100% familiar with the customs and habits of Lijiagang. At least he heard about it. He ate and lived here in those years. He saw a lot and wrote it down.
"Hey, Uncle Lin, you don't know about releasing animals?" Li Feng was even more surprised now. No way, this matter makes a lot of noise every year. He still remembered that his grandfather pulled him and followed a village of people, adults and children, but
It's so lively.
"Haha, Brother Lin has never caught up with this matter. It's a coincidence that the release ceremony was passed down before liberation. After liberation, this kind of thing was classified as a feudal remnant and has never been done. As for Brother Lin, in those years
He kept shouting about destroying the four olds, how dare people in the village mention this." Li Shan heard people mention it when he was a child, but the real experience was after he was twenty years old. After the household responsibility system was implemented, the village gradually became a little more lively. But then
There were still many people leaning against the river, and the old people discussed it together, and the ceremony started. However, as the older generation passed away, the younger generation became less and less concerned. Li Feng remembered that the ceremony officially stopped ten years ago.
.
"Release? White pigeons?" Lin Ying put down the steamed bun in her hand, quite surprised. The release of white pigeons has always been a reserved item for important festivals or ceremonies in the city. Although these white pigeons are raised by people, most of them are released.
Go back again, but people do it all the time.
"No." Li Feng then explained the ins and outs of life release to several people present. In fact, life release is, to put it bluntly, a way for people to protect nature in order to survive better.
In the past, Lijiagang has always been a mountainous area with little land. Especially before the dam was built, the river had extended to the current riverbank. At that time, only some scattered places at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside were suitable for growing crops, and most of the rest could only be planted with bamboo.
, fruit trees, even corn, and cotton cannot be grown. The village cannot even be self-sufficient in food. Many people rely on the river to catch fish and shrimp in exchange for money and sell food.
A large river supported dozens of families on both sides of the river. At that time, the river was much more lively than it is now. There were not only fishing boats, grain sellers, and vegetables on the river, but also many merchants from outside the mountains bringing daily necessities. The river became a market.
Lively, there are people living on the water, or there are people in the family making a living on the water.
No matter what, the river connects people in the mountains with those outside the mountains, and connects people with vitality, in order to seek spiritual comfort. During this period, a life-release ceremony is held once a year, more accurately, it is Hebo's sacrifice. On both sides of the river, on the day of the release, both adults and children
, each person holds in his hand, a small fish, a small shrimp, a turtle, a soft-shelled turtle, even a snail, a river mussel, a Wai Wai, etc.
Most of the ceremonies are hosted by respected local elders, and the scene is very grand. The ceremony Li Shan mentioned this time was held to a certain extent in response to the city's request for the second phase of the construction of the protected area.
Thanks to that provincial and Taiwanese news, reporter Liu carefully photographed the scenery of Lijiagang, including red-crowned cranes, egrets, mandarin ducks, wild ducks, water birds, etc., green mountains and green waters, which made many people exclaim that there is such a beautiful place in the province.
.
A provincial leader said something, and the city immediately responded and decided to invest an additional 200,000 yuan for the construction of the protected area. Lin Ying's original half-year term was extended to one year, and she was responsible for the preparation of the bird watching platform office. The town solicited
After listening to Li Fukui’s opinion, it was decided to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the second phase of the reserve on Sunday.
As the most distinctive local custom and ceremony, the release ceremony was put on the agenda, and Li Shan just learned about it.
"I see, haha, but it's a good idea." It's not the construction of a protected area, it's not something 200,000 yuan can completely solve. It's the later protection funds. Although the city has always emphasized solving Lin Ying's food, housing and salary problems.
They are also paid according to the salary of the section staff, but these are far from enough. After all, one person's power is limited, and it takes at least three people to take care of all aspects of the reserve. Li Feng has made feasible plans for these.
If the impact of the release ceremony here is greater, it causes a certain sensation and becomes a tradition, and if it continues, the city may actually get the project approved.
Lin Ying seemed to have thought of it, with a rather excited face, and repeatedly confirmed with Li Shan whether the news was accurate.
"However, the scope this time is smaller, mainly Lijiagang and Likouzi on the other side of the river." Li Shan looked at Lin Ying's excited expression and shook his head. The nature of this time was different from the past, and it could be said to be a show-off.
There is no strong traditional atmosphere like in the past, and it is not even as good as in the 1950s and 1960s, which was the fishermen's catch-and-release approach.
In spring and early summer, fishermen have always had a tradition. When fishing at this time, they catch ten fish and release one, which is a different kind of protection, or sustainable development like today.
The next day, Li Feng was very surprised to find that many city people came to Lijiagang, in small and small groups, old and young, and there were quite a lot of old people. Some people were wearing bird-watching glasses, and some were just holding cameras.
As for bird watching or sightseeing, for Li Feng, these are his guests. In his peach grove, most of the peaches are already half red, or even all red. Looking from a distance, the red peaches and green leaves are particularly pleasing, murder.
Many people's attention was drawn to the eye-catching words, which clearly read "Free Trial". Many people thought it was quite fresh, compared to those in supermarkets. It was a beautiful little village among the mountains and rivers.
"Old man, come here and try. These peaches are good. They taste pure and sweet. I haven't eaten them in many years." An old man in his sixties, with gray hair, wore a hat with a certain travel agency printed on it. The old man often travels.
of.
Another old man had a digital camera hanging around his neck and a bag on his back. "Really? Let me try it, don't tell me, it's really good. It looks like this peach forest is well maintained."
"Look, old man, look, is that a sika deer? It's so beautiful." The old woman was full of surprise and pointed at the peach forest, walking leisurely under the peach forest, eating young grass flowers, and her crimson back was dotted with white.
Point, now it is so beautiful that it attracts the eyes of the elderly.
"Yes." The old man wearing glasses and slightly presbyopic nodded, holding the camera, squatting slightly, click, Xiaohua's beautiful voice was frozen in the camera forever.
"Hello, you two." The noise outside caught Li Feng's attention, and Li Feng came out to greet them. He looked at the two old people and said hello.
"Hello, young man, does this yard belong to you? It's quite nice." The old man looked at Li Feng and was quite surprised. He thought that at least an elderly farmer could take care of such a good peach tree.
"Thank you, sit here. Is this your first time here?" Li Feng poured two cups of tea. The table was placed by the lotus pond, with a faint scent of lotus. The morning glories were still bright, with butterflies flying and honey dancing, and several small green gourds.
A few gourds are dotted on the seedlings. The bitter melon has yellow flowers that look like a layer of gold foil when facing the sun.
There are a few palm bamboos by the yard, willows by the pond, and reeds that are already more than one meter high. The green color is matched with the weeping willow branches, which adds a certain flavor. The door of the yard is half closed, and the grapevine trellis is faintly exposed, and the flower seedlings in the flower garden, look at it.
The two old men were stunned for a while. Not that they were ignorant, but this was the first time they saw this in a farmyard. The two old men, a man named Zhuang and a woman named Tang, taught in a key high school before retiring.
There is only one child at home. Outside, the child is doing well and has gone to a prestigious university. Now he has been working for five or six years and has a car and a house. The elderly couple have no worries about food and clothing. They usually follow tour groups. I saw the news the day before yesterday and learned that there is a place like Lijiagang in the city.
The two of them were quite happy, mainly because they are not very strong and it is always inconvenient to follow a tour group.
On the other hand, Lijiagang is only more than an hour's drive from the city. It's easy to get to Lijiagang directly from the town. There are buses on the roadside for a few yuan, and the round trip only costs more than 30 yuan.
"Not bad, young man." The tea was neither hot nor cold, and had a faint aroma of wild game. Teacher Zhou took a sip of tea, and Teacher Tang was quite surprised at the red color that flashed under the lotus leaves from time to time.
"Old man, come here and take a look. There are many koi carps here." Teacher Zhou smiled slightly at Li Feng, turned his head and glanced at the pond. Not to mention, upon closer inspection, the carp flashing from time to time under the lotus leaves were really real.
There are not a few of them, so dense that they can only be found in some scenic spots. The two of them had seen the Huagang Fish Watching Area by the West Lake in Hangzhou. It was so densely packed, but they didn't expect that there were so many ponds in this ordinary-looking pond.
"I raise them for fun." Li Feng was quite surprised. The carps he raised were actually mixed with a lot of koi. Although they are not rare species, they are suitable to accompany the lotus pond.
"Yes, there are some rare red and white koi. Although they are not extremely expensive, they are still rare." These ones cost hundreds or even thousands each, which makes them much more expensive than carps. Li Feng didn't.
If you don't care too much, just think of it as raising carps. There is mainly spring water, but there is no need to worry.
"Old sir, if you like that one, I'll give you one to keep." Li Feng smiled and watched the old man holding a camera to take pictures of the swimming fish.
"This can't be done, old man, let's buy two fish and keep them. The living room at home looks empty, and the kitten and puppy community looks troublesome, but it would be good to raise two fish." Teacher Tang looked at the one that swam past just now.
I like the light yellow koi very much. Most of them are common varieties here, with more than one or two hundred and less than ten yuan. They are suitable for two people to raise.
Li Feng also knew about this. Lin Ying had said that a few days ago, Lin Ying was fishing by the pond and unexpectedly caught a koi carp, which was light red. The girl was quite excited and gave it to a few old people. Li Feng also
On the edge, Li Feng had always felt that carp and koi were the same. It turned out that there were some differences. Finally, Li Feng accompanied a few old people and checked them carefully. There were many good ones, and he found more than a dozen in a short time.
, but Lin Ying said that these are ordinary, only one or two are not bad, at most one or two hundred yuan. This has made Li Feng very happy, how much does a carp cost, and the larger ones only cost more than ten yuan, these are connected with a carp.
You can buy it for more than a dozen yuan, or even one or two hundred yuan without even a pound.
Finally, before the two old men left, they asked Li Feng to fish out four tails and put them in a small bucket and pour some spring water. Two red tails were slightly silvery, and two were light yellow. They took a hundred yuan. Li Feng gave them away by the way.
I gave the old man a few kilograms of peaches to try. Maybe these fish could be bought for one hundred and fifty or two hundred in the city, but even so, Li Feng was still satisfied.
