"That's a good idea. Let's go back to the archives to do some homework, and let's go for a walk to the beach tomorrow morning." Jin Huabin couldn't help but hold Su Yuehong's hand and said, "The government is now promoting tourism, combining boneless lanterns with tourism.
Together, it is easy to get support from the government."
Su Yuehong tightened her hands and imitated a line from the TV station and said: "Come on, welcome our spring!" Just at this time, the waiter came in with refreshments. Seeing this scene, he put down the fruit plate and brought it to the door and said: "It's okay, it's okay.
You continue." The two people quickly let go of their hands. It was nothing, but the encouragement between colleagues turned into something. They were at a loss for a moment.
After seeing off Su Yuehong, Jin Huabin returned to the archives and found a story about Xianju's boneless lanterns in an old magazine. The story said that during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar in Botan Village who wandered deep into the mountains at night and got lost.
When I was anxious, I suddenly saw a light appearing in front of me.
The scholar was overjoyed and hurriedly walked toward the bright light. The light kept moving, and the scholar continued to move forward, and unknowingly he found his way home.
Only then did he realize that it was a stunningly beautiful young woman holding a lantern to guide him.
This lantern has a unique shape and is beautifully made. The body of the lantern has no skeleton, and is made entirely of paper pieces needle-punched into various patterns and pasted together.
The scholar had never seen such exquisite lanterns before, and he couldn't help but look at them again and again.
After the scholar returned home, he painted a gourd and made a boneless lantern. After it was made, he hung it at the door of his house. People in the neighborhood were full of praise when they saw it.
A few days later, late one night, someone knocked on the door. The scholar saw that it was the woman who guided him that day.
It turned out that the woman was a fairy in the sky, and the thing in her hand was naturally a "magic lamp". After the "magic lamp" settled in the scholar's home, the fairy and the scholar got married, and accompanied the scholar in reading poems every night.
In the year of the big exam, the scholar had to rush for the exam, but the fairy wife was reluctant to leave, so she asked the "magic lamp" to accompany her husband on his long journey.
The scholar lived up to his expectations. After being named on the gold medal list, he told the emperor the story of the "magic lamp" sent by the fairy.
The emperor was greatly moved after hearing this and liked the boneless lanterns very much. He hoped that after the scholar returned to his hometown, he would send a batch of lanterns to the palace as tribute every year. From then on, the palace had "little boneless palace lanterns".
Besides, in Botan Village, because lanterns are required as tribute every year, the fairy selflessly taught the production technology of this "magic lantern" to the local villagers.
Botan Ancient Street is being renovated, and part of the pebble inlay business is being taken over by my father-in-law. Tomorrow, as I have both public and private interests, I will go there for a good visit, and chat with some old people in the village about the story of the boneless lanterns, so as to flesh out the legend.
.Thinking of this, Jin Huabin printed out a paper version of the story and put it in his bag.
When we arrived at Botan Ancient Street, it was already past nine o'clock. There were no tourists in the ancient street, but there were many people gathered in the courtyard, listening to a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses telling stories.
"A group of heroes led by Shan Xiongxin gathered in Shandong to pay birthdays to Qin Qiong's mother. Although Shan Xiongxin and others are close friends of Qin Qiong in life and death, in the final analysis, Qin Qiong is still a member of the public family. During the day, most people come and go to pay birthdays to Qin Qiong.
Most of them are public officials, big or small. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shan Xiongxin and others were arranged to pay birthdays at night.
Qin's mother raised her hands as she approached the hall and said, "I don't dare to be polite." She first cleaned her hands, held incense, and bowed to heaven and earth.
The Duke has descended from afar, and the peppercorns are shining brightly. My lords, you have traveled a long and windy journey, so I will stop here to pay my respects."
Then, all the heroes began to pay their birthdays. First, Shan Xiongxin, the leader, presented the prepared congratulations and gifts. Then, in accordance with the rules of the time, they toasted Qin Qiong's mother.
In the name of celebrating birthdays, everyone gathered together happily, and it seemed that the brothers had a lot of friendship. However, at this moment, a Taoist priest came over and sang a promise to Qin Qiong who was greeting the guests at the door: "I am here to celebrate my old aunt.
I have a small gift for my birthday." After saying that, Qin Qiong took out a lantern from his sleeve. When Qin Qiong saw it, it was the one that the sharpshooter snatched from Xie Yingdeng during the lantern festival in Wuxiong Chang'an. The situation was chaotic at that time. This lantern
After falling, they happened to fall on the wheat chop. A burst of black smoke rose and a strong wind blew. The five of them were photographed outside the city, escaping the pursuers.
Although this lamp was large, it was as light as boneless. When Qin Qiong saw it, he knew that the strong wind that day was a Taoist priest's magic. The person standing in front of him was his savior, and he bowed hurriedly to thank him.
The Taoist said his name was Xu Hongke, and said: "Sit down and stop for a while. I am practicing Taoism on Kuocang Mountain and I have brought some fragrant mash of immortal liquid here. I will send it in to pay homage to my old aunt. I can worship you at a distance outside." He called for an empty pot, and his men hurriedly put it on the table. Xu Hongke took out a three- or four-inch long gourd from his sleeve, muttered a few words silently to the sky, and made a few strokes on the outside of the gourd with his finger.
, lift the lid of the pot and tilt it down, the room is filled with a strange aroma, the smoke floats and the seals are thickened, and the steaming hot pot is full of fragrant aroma."
Jin Huabin took a closer look and saw that the storyteller was his colleague, Zhu Jinze, the clerk of the Hengxi Manuscript Transformation Station, who hurriedly squeezed forward. Seeing Jin Huabin squeeze in, he nodded and introduced to the audience: "Do you know?
, the lantern in the Taoist priest’s hand is the boneless lantern that everyone saw in Botan today, and the wine is the Xianju wine that won the Medal of Honor at the Panama Expo many years later. It is two places higher than Maotai. It’s a pity that the secret recipe for winemaking is
It has been lost today."
After the story was told, the tourists went to the room to participate in the boneless lantern. Jin Huabin and Su Yuehong went up to say hello and asked: "Lao Zhu, the version of the source of your boneless lantern is different from the one we found. What should I do?
What's going on?" After saying that, he took out the printed information and handed it to him.
Zhu Jinze looked at it and smiled and said: "My version must be more in line with historical facts. A total of five people in Xianju in the Tang Dynasty passed the Jinshi examination. The first Jinshi was Xiang Si, followed by Sun He, Jia Yun, Jiang Yunzhong, Jiang Yan,
This is all a matter of the late Tang Dynasty. Kaiyuan is the reign name used by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji. During this period, not only in Xianju, but also in Taizhou, no one passed the Jinshi examination. At that time, the Xiucai Department of the Tang Dynasty was the highest level.
In the more than 30 years from Emperor Taizong's Wude to Zhenguan years, only one or two people were successful every year. At that time, scholars were more precious than Jinshi."
Zhu Jinze is very serious in his work. He is a very famous gangster in the cultural station system. Even in myths and legends, he is ugly, but his historical knowledge is indeed profound and he is one of the living dictionaries of Xianju traditional culture. It just so happens that he is here.
When I met him, I could just take out some useful information from his mouth and enrich his forum. Jin Huabin hurriedly invited him to sit in the eight bowls next to him and have a glass of wine together at noon.
