The Red House starts from Liaodong

"Woo~"

From the Arctic Ocean to the Ural Mountains, passing through plains, plateaus, and mountains, and blowing across Lake Baikal, it froze and suddenly lost temperature.

Let the whole world lose its vitality.

No living thing can survive the frigid temperatures in the wild.

In the freezing cold, animals hibernate, or huddle in burrows, and stay out all winter.

On the shed of the sheepfold, after one night, a mountain of icicles accumulated.

The sheep were huddled together, and the wool was frozen into balls of ice, and some sheep even had their eyes frozen.

In the cylindrical yurts, the Taiji people burned the dung of cattle and sheep that had been dried by the herdsmen to keep warm.

Outside the yurt, it is wrapped with layers of leather felt.

The herdsman endured the stinging north wind, even though he was wearing leather gloves, the hands inside were split open without bleeding.

Snow is collected from the ground to boil water, and the boiled water is not only for people, but also for livestock.

Holding a stick, go to the sheep pen and stable to break the icicles, then pick up the fork, split the bundled hay, and feed the livestock.

Clean up the froze-to-death cattle and sheep, and slaughter and scrape their skins with difficulty.

Many herdsmen have been outdoors for a long time, and the breath they breathe out of their noses has covered their beards with ice scum.

The horns of a cow were cracked by the cold.

The herders hurriedly went to the tribe's veterinarian to cut off the horns.

It took half a day just to knock off the icicles on the sheepfold. Before the bodies were frozen, the herdsmen returned to another tent to take a breather.

A yurt that is unloaded from a cart and placed directly on the grass.

Compared with the no-edged, streamlined and time-consuming Mongolian yurts with arched tops, the former is not as warm as the latter.

Although there are many top felts, they are not enough for all herdsmen.

It was given priority to Taiji, Mongolian doctors, generals, and warriors. Their tents were covered layer after layer.

The herdsmen only have a thin layer, and some people don't even get it.

To survive the long winter.

A few months ago, the herdsmen began to prepare various supplies for the winter, but now they are unable to act, and can only rely on their previous savings to survive.

The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to get through.

Otherwise, the tribe will freeze to death many cattle and sheep, and many herdsmen will also freeze to death.

but.

Soon it will be the Xingil Festival on the grassland, the Spring Festival of the Han people.

Prairie tribes regard white as a pure and auspicious color, so they call the Spring Festival or Xingil Festival, also known as the White Festival.

Even if the living conditions and environment are harsh, the prairie tribes will organize very intensively.

The grassland tribes have a festival.

Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi, Li Chengxian and other officials jointly reported to the general that this year's Liaodong will hold a social fire.

In previous years, people's livelihood was difficult, and everything was focused on survival.

Therefore, Shehuo has not done a big job for many years.

this is not right.

The kind of fire related to the nation is passed down from generation to generation, not only in Liaodong, but the entire Han nationality will pass the social fire.

Tang Qing'an has traveled through so many years, of course he knows the importance of Shehuo.

Let go of the affairs of a few Taijis, and give them a lot of hands.

Governments in various places organized people to support social fires in various places. …

With the general's approval, the entire land of Liaodong became lively like the scorching sun in the cold year.

Every household, old and young, was dispatched.

Liaodong people love this.

Not only Liao people.

Starting from the ancient epidemic-repelling ceremony held in the Zhou Dynasty, it has continued from generation to generation. After thousands of years, it has become a symbol of the nation and has continued until the Tang and Song Dynasties.

It came to an abrupt end in the Yuan Dynasty.

The 2000-year-old Tan Yi has completely disappeared.

After the recovery of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, although the palace stalls disappeared, the local folk sacrifices did not disappear.

Shehuo, which inherits the traditional booth ceremony and develops into the ceremony of welcoming the spring and the ceremony of the Lantern Festival, is the most important activity.

Re-emerged among the Han people.

Shehuo blooms in all kinds of ways on the land of the entire nation.

New Year's Eve.

The local governments began to call the folks from every Li and Jia, who had already received the news, and people who had been looking forward to it for many days and who would do various odd jobs, volunteered to sign up one after another.

It's the first day of Lichun.

The entire street in front of the yamen is full of people in all kinds of strange clothes, and both sides of the road are crowded with people watching the excitement.

"Let's go to court."

The servants shouted happily.

this day.

No one would be angry, and the yamen servants would not show a serious look to the people, even the officials would look at peace with the people.

The performers in strange costumes, dressed in red clothes and black clothes according to their occupations, pretended to be stories, and gathered in the lobby of the county office for inspection.

It is called "shehuohuo" interrogation.

Some time passed.

Musicians play Zaju, and girls sing spring lyrics.

Lanterns are hung on every door in the street, and ancestors set up incense sticks.

The children who have already played crazy are chasing each other on bamboo horses.

The streets are full of singing pipes for music.

Ping Liaohou Mansion.

It's not yet dawn.

There were more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages parked on the main street, and Zhou Ji and Li Dun personally directed the people.

soon.

Tang Qing'an took his wife and children, as well as maids and women, into a four-wheeled carriage and drove towards the city gate.

On the gate tower of the city gate, tables, chairs and snacks have been arranged.

It's still early.

Tang Qing'an sat on the table, while Tan Chun on the side poured tea himself and brought it to her husband, Xue Baochai sat on the other side of Tang Qing'an.

Qin Keqing has three children to take care of, and has no time to talk to Tang Qing'an.

Xiangling and her mother, Feng Shi, sat at another table, and at the same table were Qingwen and Yinger, who were also holding their children.

From time to time, Feng Shi would help out.

The surrounding nuns and maidservants had already looked towards the city, and couldn't help smiling.

"I'm going down to play."

The sky had already brightened, Tang Yanzhi saw many children playing, and said to Qin Keqing noisily.

Qin Keqing glared at Xiao'er.

"Look at your elder brother, can't you learn well?"

Tang Yanqian sat quietly at first, not wanting to lose points in front of his father. He looked at his younger brother enviously, and when he heard what his mother said, he quickly sat upright again.

"master."

Zhou came in with a smile, and said to Tang Qing'an that Xie Youcheng and other officials had already arrived in the attic next door.

Tang Qing'an nodded, left here, and went to the next door. …

With the departure of the general.

The family members of each family came in, and with the children of each family, it was very lively immediately.

Tang Yantong now has a playmate, so she no longer argues to go downstairs to play.

There are activities in various places, and Jinzhou also has activities in Jinzhou. Tang Qing'an can't see all places, and watches Jinzhou's activities with his colleagues.

"I heard that there is twisting Yangge in Shaanxi, which is very different from ours, but I have never seen it before."

Xie Youcheng smiled.

The general and them have been in Shaanxi for these years. It's funny to say that none of them have been to Shaanxi.

The understanding of Shaanxi is all through paper.

Tang Qing'an smiled.

Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, he has seen it through a screen in later generations.

But he also knew.

The level of domestic film and television in later generations is nothing, and nothing can be reflected in the filming, and everything in the filming turns into love in the end.

So he didn't dare to speak out and explain to everyone what twisting Yangko is.

Feng Shengzhi felt that he knew the most, so he couldn't help but say.

"I heard there was a fire over there."

"set fire?"

Everyone wondered, Tang Qing'an was also confused.

Feng Shengzhi gestured with both hands.

"Combine iron filings with gunpowder and put them into a paper tube. After burning, iron flowers fly up. There are old rods, small rods, and fires."

Obviously read it from a book, even he himself may not have understood it, so everyone was confused and still didn't understand what it was.

Tang Qing'an vaguely knew what Feng Shengzhi was talking about.

"Yangko, Shehuo, Bamboo Horses, Stilts, Cruise Boats, Taiping Cars, Yulong Liucui, Lion Dance, Taige..."

Feng Shengzhi didn't understand it himself, so he explained in detail what was recorded in the book he had read, thinking that everyone would understand.

Everyone didn't understand what they heard, and lost interest. They were all "old people", and no one needed to flatter anyone, so they quickly turned their attention to the city.
Feng Shengzhi made it boring, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it.

"Dong dong ding, dong dong ding."

……

"coming."

People stood up one after another, walked to the railing, and looked at the queue in the distance.

There are bursts of drum music and colorful fans.

A group of colorful yangko dancers twisted from the depths of history, stepping on the ancient and cheerful drumbeats of the years, just like this.

Make Yangko.

Behind them is the rising sun in the east.

It seems to be the beginning.

The common people saw the high-ranking officials and generals on the gate tower, and heard that the general was there, they jumped harder and harder, and passed the city gate.

Team after team of Yangko teams, like a competition.

Behind them, followed by strange-looking figures dressed as "players", "umbrella heads", "salesmen" and so on.

The roles in the Yangko team continue to increase, and they step on the street to perform in the drumbeat and vocal music.

There are more than [-] Yangko teams before and after, and each team has subtle differences, and the situation is flexible and diverse.

He doesn't understand Shaanxi, and Feng Shengzhi is a native of Liaodong.

"In the western area, it is more strict, with exquisite costumes and uniform movements, and the performance is more rough and unrestrained.

In the northern area, Yangko is good at singing, and the performance is more delicate, vivid, and wins by twisting and teasing. "

"Ouch, not good."

Xie Youcheng exclaimed.

In the stilt-walking team, a young man fell down, causing a small commotion. …

Just when an old man was about to step forward, the young man got up in disgrace, kicked the stilts on the ground angrily, and complained about embarrassing him, which made the surrounding people burst into laughter.

"Jiang Ziya is wearing a gown, with a magic whip in his right hand and an apricot-yellow flag in his left, and rides four different elephants."

"Taishang Laojun wears a blue Taoist robe, holds a dust whisk, and rides a yellow ox."

"Yuanshi Tianzun wears a blue Taoist robe, holds a whisk, and rides a unicorn."

……

The team of the Yellow River Array appeared on the stage, dressed up as immortals, and sang big Yangko, which aroused the shouts of the common people.

The big show came out.

The nine-girl boat, with sixteen horns on each side of the boat, is carried by 32 strong young men wearing white towels, magpie clothes, and red trousers.

On both sides of the ship's side, there are patterns such as Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and King Eight Picking Eyes.

The women on the boat are dressed up as the Queen Mother and her eight daughters.

The queen mother wears a phoenix crown, a female python, and holds a cloud broom, and the eight fairies comb the fairy rescue, wear palace clothes, wear palace shoulders, jacquard baskets or round fans.

There are nine seats on board in three rows of three people.

"Oh, oh, oh."

The people booed one after another.

After the troubles during the day, there is also the night, the "Night Eight Outs" spread from Xiwujiazi Township, Chaoyang County.

This short event.

It is the internal element and genetic factor of the national spirit, which can ensure the continuity of Chinese culture and provide the spiritual support for cultural adjustment for the people in drastic changes.

It is the root of the nation.

Prairie tribes, Dazhou, North Korea, Annan, and the lands of the East share traditional festivals on this day.

Western countries, they don't have a holiday on this day, but they also have a common day of traditional festivals.
