    As the saying goes: "If you don't see the first month, it will be a year."

    ? Just passed the "Guanyin Opening Storehouse" yesterday, and today is the "People's Day" on the 27th.

    People's Day is also called People's Day, People's Day, Population Day and People's Seventh Day.  On this festival, people usually have a bowl of noodles for breakfast, and then they go out one after another, take a youth tour, and climb high and look far away.

    Originally, Qing Wan had already made an appointment with Hui Lan to have another beautiful encounter with Jackson in the suburbs.  But when Jackson was asked "whether to go to Huanhuaxi Lake tomorrow", his head shook like a rattle and he said "too lazy to go".

    Ah!  There is a saying that "a woman's heart is as deep as the sea", why is the heart of this foreign boy so unpredictable?  It seems that I have to turn to Ji Xu for help

    [1] "Taiwan Song of Dengyouzhou" by Chen Ziang. Poem

    The Zhen family eats meals separately.

    As the heads of the family, Zhen Yougan and Yu Lu ate in the living room of the main house; Qing Wan led a group of children to eat in the kitchen.

    During breakfast, Ji Xu asked Jackson: "Arthur, do you know why we eat noodles this morning?"

    "Your birthday?" Jackson replied looking at Ji Xu from above the rim of the bowl.

    "My birthday is in March, it's still early!"

    "Whose birthday is that?"

    "It's our birthday!"

    "Everyone, birthdays?" Jackson asked, "We were born on the same day, the same month, the same year?"

    "That's not what it means." Ji Xu said with a smile, "Today is the day when 'Man' was born, also called 'Human Day'."

    "People's Day?"

    "In ancient times, there was a goddess called 'Nu Wa', do you know?"

    "Mending the sky?!"

    "Yes!" Ji Xu said as he ate the noodles, "However, she is not only a hero who mends the sky and saves the world, but also the god of creation of mankind. She has great supernatural powers and transforms all things, and is known as the 'mother of the earth'.

    According to legend, she created chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cows, and horses from the first to sixth day, and created human beings on the seventh day.  "

    "Oh~ she made us all?"

    "Yes!"

    "Then why make me different from yours?"

    "It may be that the 'yellow mud' is not enough, so I used some white clay." Ji Xu said, "Actually, we were not created on the same day. It was divided into three days, namely the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month.  Later, in order to distinguish people of all ages, the seventh day of the lunar new year was designated as a festival for children, the seventeenth was for middle-aged people, and the twenty-seventh was for the elderly. With the evolution of the times, these three days were considered as the festival of human  Birthday, this also has 'celebrate birthday'.

    The noodles eaten for birthday celebrations are called "longevity noodles", which are different from the "noodles" made in ordinary times. Only three vegetables, "celery, onion, and garlic" are used to make the marinade, which embodies the fundamentals of "being a human being".  "Qin" means that one must be diligent in being a person; "onion" means that one must be smart in doing things; what makes a smart person do smart things?  It¡¯s just that ¡®people should be able to afford it and put it down¡¯, some things should be ¡®forget it¡¯ and forget it, don¡¯t worry too much¡±

    Jackson didn't eat celery in the first place. Hearing what Ji Xu said, he quickly pulled the celery that had been pulled to the side of the bowl into his mouth, and chewed it fragrantly.

    Seeing Jackson's antics, Qing Wan secretly laughed.

    Ji Xu went on to say: "The emperors of the Tang Dynasty liked poems and chapters, and they named this day 'Climbing the High and Looking Far Day'. Every twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, the emperor would bring his ministers to climb high and look far, and write poems and fu.  A talented courtier stands on the top of the mountain and expresses his feelings, and occasionally gets a good poem, and the emperor is happy, maybe his fate will change."

    "Has anyone been promoted because of a poem?"

    "Yes, like Chen Ziang in the early Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Tongtian [696], he boarded the Youzhou Terrace in most of our capital, and recited his famous poem passionately:

    The ancients have not been seen before,

    No one came after.

    Thinking of the long distance between heaven and earth,

    Alone sad but tears.

    This poem spread to the ears of Empress Wu Zetian, and soon he was promoted from a small Jinshi to You Suyi.  "

    How is Dai Zongfu?  Qi Luqing is gone.

    ? The good fortune bell is beautiful, and the yin and yang are at dusk.

    Zeng Yun was born by swinging the chest, and the returning bird entered the canthus.

    Will be the top of the mountain, and look at the mountains and small mountains.

    Jackson said: "But, like us little people, who do we sing poems to?"

    "Give it to your girlfriend!" Ji Xu said, "Today was meant to be 'made?"What do you mean sir? Will it disappear? Or will it appear?"

    Qing Wan covered her mouth and snickered, and said, "I don't know, you'll know when you go there"

    Notes

    ¡¾1¡¿Aunt Gongsun

    Aunt Gongsun was the first dancer in the Tang Palace during the prosperous Kaiyuan period. She was good at dancing swords, and her dancing posture shocked the world.

    The "Sword Weapon" dance performed by Aunt Gongsun was highly skilled and unique, and it was second to none at that time.  She performs among the people, and the audience is like a mountain.  Invited to perform at the court, no one can compare.  On the basis of inheriting the traditional sword dance, a variety of "sword weapon" dances have been created.  In the end, Aunt Gongsun lived in the rivers and lakes and died lonely.  However, her unrivaled skills are associated with two cultural peaks in Chinese history.  Representative works include "Xihe Sword Artifact", "Sword Artifact Huntuo" and so on.

    It is said that Zhang Xu, the sage of grass, watched Gongsun's sword dance, so he suddenly realized and achieved the peerless calligraphy.

    Du Fu, the poet saint, also watched the dance of Gongsun when he was a boy.  The lady Gongsun back then, dressed in brocade clothes and beautiful appearance, was as graceful as a dragon swimming, and with a curved sword, she swayed the myriad atmosphere of the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.  Du Fu once wrote a poem titled "Watching Gongsun Da Niang's disciples dancing swords", which described the prosperity of Gongsun's swords in those days: In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who danced with her swords and moved all directions.  The viewers are as depressed as the mountains, and the sky and the earth are low for a long time.  Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, and he was like a dragon soaring like a group of emperors.  Come like a thunderbolt, stop the wrath, stop like Jiang Hai condenses the light

    It means: In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, and her "Sword Weapon" dance caused a sensation everywhere.  The crowds of onlookers looked panic-stricken, and the world changed color.  The dazzling sword light seems to be Hou Yi (the hero who shot the sun in ancient legends) shooting down nine suns, and his figure is as vigorous as a god driving a dragon soaring in the sky.  At the beginning, it was like a thunderbolt refraining from shaking, and at the end, it was like a calm river and sea condensing the waves"

    The poet used a magical pen to describe Gongsun Da Niang's aggressive momentum when she danced the sword, the green hill bowed her head, the situation changed color, she was as straight as a dragon, and she was shining for nine days.  The dance of Gongsun described by the pen is vividly presented in front of our eyes, which makes people yearn for it.

    After the Anshi Rebellion, the dynasty declined from prosperity.  In Baidi City, Mr. Du Fu saw the descendant of Mrs. Gongsun¡ª¡ªLi Shiriniang dancing swords.  Looking back at the present and recalling the past, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.  The prosperous age is over, Du Fu is no longer young, and Gongsun's disciples are not beautiful. As for Gongsun Aunt herself, she should be "lonely with crimson lips, pearls and sleeves".

    ¡¾2¡¿Biyun Temple

    Biyun Temple is located in Xiangshan.  Xiangshan is a branch of Xishan, which is located in the northwest of Beijing. According to Li Yan's "Xiangshan Jilue" in the Jin Dynasty: "Xishan is green, rising above the sky, with many hills and emerald greens, and it comes to the emperor's palace. There is an ancient Taoist temple called Xiangshan. According to legend  There are two big stones on the mountain, which are shaped like incense burners. It was originally called Xianglu Mountain, and later generations call it Xiangshan." This refers to the two big stones on the highest peak of Xiangshan "Ghost Seeing Sorrow".  Curly, it seems that there are several pillars of high incense burning, hence the name.  The mountains are numerous, with clear springs and flowing water, flowers and trees everywhere, and beautiful scenery. Therefore, temples have been built continuously since the Jin Dynasty.  Among them, Biyun Temple is the most magnificent ancient temple in Xishan Scenic Area.

    Biyun Temple was first built in the twenty-sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1289). It was called Biyun Temple at that time.  In the eleventh year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1516), the eunuch Yu Jingtuo built it as a temple, commonly known as "Yugong Temple"; in the third year of Tianqi (1623), the eunuch Wei Zhongxian rebuilt it and renamed it "Biyun Temple", but both were convicted and could not be buried.  here.  During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a large-scale expansion was carried out. An Luohan hall was added in the south courtyard imitating Hangzhou Jingci Temple, a palace was built in the north courtyard, and a King Kong throne tower was built in the cemetery behind the temple. It is a group of compact and well-preserved temple-style gardens.  The whole temple covers an area of ??four hectares, facing west to east, and built according to the mountain situation. There are six courtyards running through a central axis from the mountain gate to the top of the temple.  , Bodhisattva Hall, Pu Mingjue Miao Hall, Vajra Throne Pagoda, etc.  The layout of the temple adopts a closed form layer by layer. Each group of halls is layered on top of each other, and the higher the higher, the higher the higher. More than 300 steps are interspersed, with a difference of more than 200 meters. The highest point is halfway up the mountain. Each courtyard has its own characteristics.  .  Climbing to the top and looking far away, the pines and cypresses cover the temple wall, which has a unique charm.  Entering from a locust tree path, there is a "Green Jade Huabai Stone Bridge" in the middle, facing a ravine several feet deep, with gurgling streams at the bottom of the ravine, towering ancient trees around the temple, and an elegant environment.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
