The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in "Zhou Li". According to the ancient Chinese calendar, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is in mid-August of the autumn of the year, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival". There are four seasons in a year, and each season is divided into Meng, Zhong and Zhong.
, the third part of the season, because the second month of autumn is called Zhongqiu, it was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "New Tang Book? Volume 15, Volume 5, Rites and Music Five" records that "among them, the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival was laid in
King Wenxuan, King Wucheng", and "In the 19th year of Kaiyuan, the Taigong Shangfu Temple was built, and the Marquis Zhang Liang was appointed to accompany the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival offered Wu sacrifices, sacrifices, and music as in Wen." The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Zhongqiu Festival.
, Reunion Festival, August Festival, etc., it is also the second largest traditional festival after the Spring Festival.
The custom of appreciating the moon originated from offering sacrifices to the moon. Over the course of time, the solemn sacrifice gradually turned into a relaxed and joyful activity. Folk activities of appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival began around the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but did not become a custom until the Tang Dynasty. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, appreciating the moon and playing
The moon is quite popular, and many poets have poems praising the moon in their famous works. By the Wei Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival folk festival centered on moon appreciation activities began to form, and it was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival. Different from the Tang people, the Wei people admired the moon.
It is more about sentimentality and sadness, and often uses the waxing and waning of clouds and sunshine to describe human affairs. Even on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clear light of the bright moon cannot conceal the sadness of the Wei people. But for the Wei people, the Mid-Autumn Festival has another form.
, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of secular joy: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, all shops sell new wine, noble families decorate their tables and pavilions, and private families compete for restaurants to play in the moonlight. Sheng and songs are heard from thousands of miles away, and they sit and play until dawn." There is a Mid-Autumn Festival in the Wei Dynasty.
The night is a sleepless night, the night market is open all night, and there are endless tourists enjoying the moon.
As the capital of northern Xinjiang, Yanjing is naturally no exception.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat moon cakes to show "reunion". Moon cakes are also called Hu cakes, palace cakes, moon cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc. They are offerings to worship the moon god during the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times.
According to the tradition of the Wei Dynasty, the emperor wanted to worship the sun in spring and the moon in autumn. This is a ritual and among the people. Every August Mid-Autumn Festival, there is also the custom of worshiping or worshiping the moon. "The moons in August and fifteen are full, and the Mid-Autumn moon cakes are fragrant and sweet."
", this famous proverb tells the custom of urban and rural people eating moon cakes on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Moon cakes were originally used as sacrifices to the moon god. Later, people gradually regarded the Mid-Autumn moon appreciation and tasting moon cakes as a symbol of family reunion. Slowly
Slowly, mooncakes have become a must-have gift for festivals
As the eldest son of Northern Xinjiang, Yunzheng naturally had to host official moon worship activities when his father, Marshal Yunlan, was away in Yanjing. After a long round of etiquette was completed, he breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the Marshal's Mansion with a smile, and enjoyed the Chinese
national festival
Apart from eating mooncakes, the most interesting thing about the activities at the Shuai Mansion is watching the lanterns. The Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns are not as grand as the Lantern Festival. Usually there is not much of a scene outside. Instead, wealthy families hold them at home. Usually
Confined to family members or close friends
Yun Zheng looked at the handsome mansion like a sea of lights with a smile. He has been very busy recently, so the so-called feet not touching the ground is probably just like this. Being able to relax legitimately is a kind of "burden reduction".
"Brother!" Yun Yu'er suddenly turned out from behind a tree, holding a lantern in one hand and holding Yun Zheng with the other: "Help me look at this lantern riddle!"
Yun Zheng turned around and saw that this little girl was well dressed today and already looked quite feminine. However, the number of outstanding women she had seen in daily life was quite limited. Generally speaking, Lin Yuyan was the most popular, so this girl's dress seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally.
It is somewhat similar to Lin Yuyan, which makes Yunzheng quite funny
"What kind of lantern riddle? Let me see it." Yun Zheng took the lantern from Yun Yu'er's hand with a smile, looked at it, and said: "I kept the emperor secret for two months to type one or two words."
"What is it?" Yun Yu'er blinked.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Isn't this easy? Isn't it just..."
"Husband, please don't cheat for Xiao Yu'er..." Lin Yuyan's voice was heard. Yun Zheng turned around and saw that Lin Yuyan, Xiao He, Yan'er and Xin'er turned around from behind the rockery. As soon as Lin Yuyan came out, Yun Yu'er muttered.
He started to say: "Forget it, forget it, my brother has a sister-in-law, so he won't help his sister anymore."
Yun Zheng laughed: "Are you asking each other to guess the lanterns, or are you competing against each other with lantern riddles given by others?"
Yun Yuer said: "Of course we are confused and guessing each other. Your sister and I are competing with the four sisters-in-law alone. Hey, if I had known that the four sisters-in-law were so good, I would not have made such a fool of myself...Brother, you
Look, there are four sisters-in-law and I am only one, do you still want to help the sisters-in-law but not me?"
Yun Zheng laughed, blinked at Lin Yuyan and the others, and then said to Yun Yu'er: "So, according to the principle of fairness, I should help you little girl."
Yun Yu'er was overjoyed: "That's right, my brother's words are wise... Hey, why are you calling me a little girl again? She's not little anymore!"
Yun Zheng ignored her complaints, took the lantern and turned it around, saying: "The answer to this lantern riddle is: hazy."
Lin Yuyan was frustrated on the other end and said: "If my husband helps Xiao Yu'er, the four of us sisters combined are no match for us."
Xiao He also said: "Husbands will be partial." Yan'er and Xin'er pouted and looked at Yunzheng with a look of resentment. However, although the little look was resentful, they could not hide the happy smile in their eyes.
Before Yun Zheng could speak, Yun Yu'er rushed to say: "Sister Yan'er, this is wrong. You are well-known as a talented woman in Beijing. The Sixth Prince is also a famous prince, but in the circle
Everyone knows that when the Sixth Prince competes with Sister Yan'er for literary talents, my brother, who has never taken advantage of me, is the fairest person. There are only four of you bullying me, so of course he wants to help me. How can this be considered partiality?
"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Yeah, yeah, today I'm going to help the little girl. You ladies have some powerful moves, feel free to show them to your husband."
Yun Yu'er was overjoyed after hearing this, but Lin Yuyan and the other four were squirming after hearing this. Their faces could not help but turn red. They looked at each other and found that the other party was also blushing fiercely, and they knew that they were not "misunderstandings."
When she fell in love with her husband, he really deliberately teased her. Thinking about being teased by him in bed, she couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for it. The four women had the same idea. They really wanted to find a gap in the ground and crawl in.
"Huh? Brother, you are so majestic. As soon as you spoke, the four sisters-in-law didn't dare to say anything." She looked Yunzheng up and down, and said with great suspicion: "Could it be that you are very domineering in front of them, and you make them all afraid?"
Are you scared? Brother, this can’t be done, I’m on the side of the sisters-in-law.” He said and moved two steps towards Lin Yuyan and the others very cooperatively.
Yun Zheng glanced at the four girls, and felt funny in his heart: You little girl, you are really right, your brother and I are really "overbearing" and overbearing in front of your sisters-in-law, even better than Qingtian in Transformers
The pillar is still domineering, definitely a super Optimus Prime
The four girls were glanced at by Yun Zheng's ambiguous gaze, and were even more ashamed. Naturally, the four of them were members of their own family who knew their own affairs. How could they not know about Yun Zheng's methods and benefits? The only one who didn't know was Yun Yu.
This little girl is just a sister.
But I heard Yunzheng cough dryly: "What are you talking about? Your brother and I have always attached great importance to women's rights. Ask them about things at home: I usually do what they want to do!"
"Huh?" This statement can obviously be understood from two completely different angles. Yun Yu'er had no worries in her heart, so she naturally understood it in the normal way. She nodded and said: "That's pretty much it. These things are what women are good at, brother.
Listen to the sisters-in-law, it’s not wrong in the first place, this is the best thing.”
Yun Zheng looked at the four girls with blushing faces and laughed: "Yes, these things are what women are good at. Well, women are good at them."
Lin Yuyan finally couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Husband... let's still guess lantern riddles!" This little girl really couldn't bear to say "serious words" to Yunzheng no matter what.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Weren't you afraid to compete with your husband just now? Are you more courageous now? Okay, then you can come up with the questions."
Lin Yuyan thought for a while, picked up a new lantern with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand at the same time. A servant immediately handed over a wolf-hair pen. Lin Yuyan took it and wrote on the lantern: "The dark fragrance of plum blossoms is still there, and the smoke will eventually disappear."
"Take a flower"
Yunzheng pondered for a moment, pointed to a plant not far away and said: "Begonia"
Lin Yuyan was immediately discouraged, and Xiaohe also wrote on a lantern: "Only when the fog clears can we take a step to type a word."
Yunzheng walked over, picked up the pen, and wrote the word "Lu" with a silver hook on the back, and looked at Xiao He with a smile and pouted.
Yan'er handed over her lantern at this time, and saw that it read: "The Morning Glory and the Weaver Girl look at each other from afar, how could you alone be so worthy of typing the word "Liang Heliang"?
Yunzheng took up his pen and wrote: "surname"
Xin'er also handed over her lantern, but the puzzle was: "The golden crow falls and the white head turns white. Look at the name of a place."
Yunzheng smiled and said: "This is simple" and wrote: "Luoyang"
Yun Yu'er was overjoyed when she saw that her brother was so powerful. She was proud for a moment, but then she said: "This won't work. My brother is too powerful. It's more fair for me to help my sisters-in-law." Then she took the lantern and pen amid a few good-natured laughs.
, wrote on it: "The beauty of April in this world is as good as medicine (only Chinese medicine is available at the moment)"
Yunzheng's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine relies solely on the memory he inherited. After thinking for a while, he wrote: "Spring is gone."
Yun Yu'er was a little disappointed, but Lin Yuyan found that Yun Zheng had been thinking about this topic for the longest time. She thought she had found Yun Zheng's weakness, so she quickly asked for a lantern and wrote: "The river in front of the window is filled with spring scenery."
Yun Zheng laughed, seeing through her little thoughts, and said: "Sometimes, opportunities appear in front of you, but they are actually traps." Then leisurely wrote: "Kong Qing"
Lin Yuyan was greatly discouraged: "I have no choice."
Xiaohe said: "My husband has thousands of poems and books in his chest. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win in this regard. If not like this..." She picked up a pen and wrote: "My feet are small, my legs are high, I wear a red hat and a white robe."
"a bird"
Sure enough, Yun Zheng really frowned when Xiao He came up with this lantern riddle. His writing skills were good, but when it came to not using words as a game, he was a little awkward. Fortunately, this question was not difficult, so he thought
After thinking about it, he still gave the answer and wrote: "Red-Crowned Crane"
Before Xiao He could get depressed, Yan'er suddenly smiled and said: "I have one more" and then wrote: "A gold hook hangs a silver ring. If sisters from across the mountain want to meet each other, they have to wait until nightfall to find something."
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said depressedly: "Hit one thing, the range of this 'one thing' is too large?"
Yan'er smiled tenderly and said, "My husband is so smart, how dare I speak too clearly?"
When Yun Yu'er saw that Yun Zheng might not be able to answer the question, she had long forgotten that she had dragged him into the water. She was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and said: "It's just that, brother is so smart, our questions must be more difficult and the scope must be wide.
A little, otherwise wouldn’t it be disrespectful to my brother?”
Yun Zheng was so angry that he glared at her: "I came to help you, but you rebelled yourself." Then he said with emotion: "This sister...it seems that I need to find someone to marry you quickly..."
Yun Yuer's face turned slightly red: "I don't want to get married."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "You are so good now. In two years, we will see if you are in a hurry." The four girls snickered.
Yun Yu'er stomped her feet angrily: "Brother is so stupid. He started talking nonsense when he couldn't answer the question!"
Yunzheng made a "cut" sound, took the lantern, and wrote: "Earrings"
Yan'er pursed her lips: "My husband won't let us do it."
Yun Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this: "That means, I'll give you a hand, and then you will use this to make excuses every time? Oh, my husband will not fall for this evil deed."
Xin'er helped: "My husband is so powerful in his 'family law', are you still afraid that my concubine will change the world?" She looked squeamish.
Yun Zheng choked and didn't reply. Yun Yu'er asked curiously: "Family law? The Yun family's family law or... brother, your family law?"
Yunzheng coughed dryly: "Of course it's your brother and my family law."
Yun Yu'er looked at the four sisters-in-law who had their heads lowered, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother is so bad. My sisters-in-law are such good people, are you willing to use family methods?"
"No, it's just good, so I'll use it." Yun Zheng chuckled.
"Ah?" Yun Yu'er was surprised: "Why is that?"
"Well..." Yunzheng looked inscrutable.
"What is this? Say it quickly!" Yun Yu'er became very curious.
Lin Yuyan blushed and quickly interrupted: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this... Husband, the moonlight is so beautiful today. My husband is a world-famous talent. How can I not recite a poem or two on such a beautiful day?"
, as a commemoration?”
Yunzheng looked at her with a evil smile, and moved his lips silently. Lin Yuyan's face turned redder, but she couldn't resist his provocative gaze. She nodded inadvertently, and then she was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but lower her eyebrows.
Time has passed
When Yun Zheng saw it, he became very proud and said loudly: "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone! We will serve you with fine wine!"
The servants were well prepared, and what Yunzheng wanted was quickly delivered to him. Yunzheng picked up a glass of twenty-year-old Xinghua Village aged wine, drank it down in one gulp, took another glass, and wrote: "Shui Diao Ge Tou Bingchen
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I enjoyed drinking in my house, and I am in high spirits. I wrote this article for my wife and concubines, and I also cherished the beauty."
The four girls looked at each other for a while, but Yun Yu'er didn't care at all that there was nothing going on without her. She just wanted to see if her brother had any new exquisite words.
Yunzheng did not let them down, and wrote: "When will the bright moon come? I ask the blue sky with my wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back and go back, but I am afraid that the beautiful buildings and jade buildings are too cold to dance up and clear the shadows. What's the matter?
in the world
Turning around the Zhu Pavilion, looking down at the door, there should be no hatred in the sleepless light. Why is it so long to be reunited when we say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever, and we can share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away."
Judging from the surprised and admiring expressions on everyone's faces, you can tell that Marshal Yun has added another amazing poem to his collection.
