The climate here has many similarities with the place where Han Cheng lived before.
Han Cheng recalled the months of later generations and compared them with those here.
After careful comparison and weighing, the moon painted by Hei Wa on the ceramic plate was bracketed by Han Cheng from the third black shadow in the first row to the second black shadow in the third row.
Write ‘October’ on it.
For the latter group, write the word November in brackets.
From the stone, he understood the meaning of these three consecutive black shadows, that is, for these three nights, he could see the stars, but not the moon.
Han Cheng knew that the three days recorded on the stone were actually the 29th, 30th, and the first day of the lunar month, or the 28th, 29th, and the first day of the lunar month.
Theoretically, the moon will not completely disappear until the night of the 30th or 29th. In fact, it is basically invisible on the night before and the next day.
This is the same principle as "the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round", and it is related to the fact that the change of the moon between two days is not so significant.
He already had a certain concept of years, months, and stones, but after all, he had never really experienced the calendar of later generations, so when he learned that Han Cheng wanted to divide the months on this basis, he took it for granted that the first one The month it appears in should be January.
Han Cheng organized his words in his mind for a while before speaking to Shitou: "January is the beginning of the year and the first month of spring... The ice and snow will gradually melt and the grass roots will turn green..."
Shitou tilted his head and thought for a while before nodding his head vigorously.
He carefully recalled what he had drawn, which was attributed by the Son of God to the scene outside during the October moon, and felt that it was very different from the scene that the Son of God said should be seen in January.
After thinking about it, I feel that it is really inappropriate to regard this month as January.
After figuring this problem out, new questions came to mind.
"Why isn't this the first grade of junior high school?"
Shitou asked, pointing to the round circle in the middle.
Under the circle, Han Cheng used a hard and thin stone pen to carve the words '15'.
Stone didn't understand this very much. In his opinion, the big, round and bright moon was the most beautiful, and it should be the one on the first day of the lunar month.
Han Cheng is a boy with a big head and a hundred thousand reasons. Sometimes he is very lovable, but sometimes people want to sew his mouth shut.
Fifteen is fifteen. From the time I can remember, the moon on the fifteenth day is the roundest. Why are there so many?
Han Cheng wanted to say this to Shitou, but he could only think about it in his heart.
After some thinking, I can only explain it by saying something like, 'The first day of the lunar month is the beginning of January, and everything in the world grows from small to large...'.
Talking about it later, Han Cheng felt a little dizzy. Miraculously, the stone showed a look of enlightenment.
This scene suddenly reminded Han Cheng of the time when his history or politics teacher taught multiple-choice questions in high school - "Choose B for this question."
Then various interpretations of the question stem were made, connecting the text and other aspects of knowledge. After some explanations, the students felt that the teacher was right, and they should choose B for this question.
Then came the next class - "Students, the answer to the question we talked about last time was printed wrong. You should choose D..."
Then after some explanations, everyone discovered that it really made sense...
It's interesting to think about this.
What Han Cheng is doing to the stone now is actually similar to this.
On the premise of knowing the answer in advance, you can always find some reasons to move closer to the answer.
Especially things that are more subjective.
After October and November were decided, there were five question marks in a row. This was because the past few days had been bad. It was either snowing or cloudy. There were no stars at night and the moon was not seen, so the stone
It can only be replaced by a question mark.
According to the calendar I made, which I don't know is accurate, today is already the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Han Cheng thought so.
Because of the appearance of the calendar, knowing what time it was now gave him an indescribable sense of clarity.
With this thought in his mind, a thought suddenly appeared, making his heart tremble.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the year is almost over and the New Year is about to begin.
Chinese New Year!
Thinking about that day of family reunion and full of festive atmosphere, one can't help but miss it and look forward to its arrival.
Although many people are complaining that the Chinese New Year is becoming less and less festive now, the expectation in their hearts is always there.
Especially now that he doesn't know whether he has run into prehistory, another dimension, or a 'primitive reserve', Han Cheng, who is far away from the original era, when he realizes that the new year is approaching, his heart is even more...
Jumping non-stop.
In 2017, this festival that has fascinated countless Chinese people, who have traveled thousands of miles, carried large and small bags, and stood in the aisles all day and night to insist on going back to celebrate. At this moment, it hit hard
It touches the heart of Han Cheng, a prodigal son who is far away from the group.
Rich or not, go home and celebrate the New Year.
At home, my parents are getting old one day, and there are lovely children who have been looking forward to it for a long time and have not seen them for a year. This place has my own roots and has the charm that makes me feel at ease.
That's why those who go out to work hard will rush home like migratory birds overwintering. Even if they can only stay at home for two days, they must come back thousands of miles away.
A bowl of steaming dumplings made by mother, half a glass of wine poured by father with trembling hands, and a few voices of children calling for parents are enough to wash away the hard work on the road and make it all worth it.
All the ups and downs of working outside, and the ups and downs of human relationships, will be washed away by this festival and place called 'Nian' and 'home', allowing tired people to regain their energy and muster up the courage to fight and face the challenges in life.
The miserable wind and rain.
With a heart that is not strong and shoulders that are not thick, I carry a relatively warm space, where there are "years", "home", parents, children, and the warmest watch and the most determined heart.
of strength.
The Nian suddenly appeared in his mind, causing Han Cheng's emotions to lose control in an instant, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shitou looked at the son of God who was crying silently, and immediately became at a loss. Is it because he didn't draw the moon well enough? Or he asked too many questions...
The little primitive man, who didn't understand the mood of the Son of God, thought uneasily like this, and timidly called out: "The Son of God..."
Han Cheng tried hard to control his emotions, reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, closed his eyes hard several times, forced a smile, and said to Shitou: "It's okay, the wind hit my eyes."
Shitou touched his head in confusion, was it windy just now?
He thought confusedly.
I felt relieved a lot because I at least knew that I wasn't the one who made the Son of God cry.
However, I still secretly thought that I should not ask the Son of God so many things in the future.
But then I felt the uncomfortable feeling of holding back something I didn't understand, and I became hesitant again.
This made the little primitive man extremely confused.
Han Cheng calmed down and told Shitou to continue painting the moon in this way and not to stop.
The stone, which seemed a bit skinny in the past, nodded hard on the little head.
