    [1] The Book of Songs "Guofeng. Zhengfeng. Caishang"

    Zihui thinks of me, and she wears clothes and wears Qin.

    If you don't think for yourself, how can you have no one else?

    And the madness of a mad child!

    Zihui thinks of me, and clothes are involved.

    If you don't think about yourself, how can there be no others?

    And the madness of a mad child!

    Wang Mian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "However, I heard from Xing'er that on the day of Shangsi Festival, they met to go outing."

    "Outing?" Dapuhua asked, "Where do you go for an outing?"

    "Jade Spring Mountain."

    "It's Yuquan Mountain to the west of the West Sea [Kunming Lake]?" Da Puhua confirmed again.

    "That's right." Wang Mian said, "I heard that that young man from the Western Regions proposed to Miss Huilan in the Western way that day!"

    "Westerners still go to the mountains to propose marriage?"

    "It's not that you have to go to the mountains." Wang Mian said, "It's just that, I heard that the man who proposes should hold roses in his hands, kneel down and offer a token to the woman he is courting"

    "Is that so? Isn't this too cheap? Don't people in the Western Regions know that a man has gold under his knees?" Da Puhua looked shocked.

    "I haven't seen what it looks like. When that day comes, let's go and see."

    "However, the Shangsi Festival is indeed a good day to propose marriage." Dapuhua said, "I remember reading a song "Shang Shang" in the "Book of Songs", which seems to be a story that happened on the Shangsi Festival:

    It is said that a girl by the two rivers, Qin and Wei, teased the man she had in mind: "If you miss me, just pick up the hem of your clothes and wade across the water to find me; if you don't miss me, is there no one else who likes me?"  What!  ?  '

    So, on that day, you must be with Miss Xing'er, and don't let her scold you like the girl in "Book of Songs"¡ªyou arrogant fool!  If you don't miss me, doesn't anyone else miss me" Dapuhua joked and performed.

    "Alas, brother, who is the kind of person who values ??sex and despises friends? I have to accompany you!" Wang Mian said again, "If I don't accompany you, how do you know which one is Huilan?"

    "Isn't it just the three of you, plus the one from the Western Regions, there are only four"

    "That day, Yingying seemed to be there too."

    "It's fine if she goes, as it happens that I will take a picture with her too."

    "You won't get confused, will you?"

    "How could it be!" Dapuhua said, "How clearly did you say that Huilan is the tallest, Xing'er is the whitest, and Yingying is the most charming" Dapuhua teased him  Said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter, whichever one I like is the one."

    "Hey~, that's not acceptable! Don't even think about the white one!"

    "Okay~" Dapuhua thought for a moment, no, "Hey~, don't you still pick what's left of you!?"

    "Everyone's vision is different, and each person has a marriage, how can this be called a pick!"

    "Huh?" Da Puhua asked, "What gift did you give Miss Xing'er that day?"

    Wang Mian pointed to the painting and said, "That's right there."

    "Hi! What's the deal?" Dapuhua said, "Our oriental girls don't like flowers or paintings! It's better to give her jewelry, which is more affordable."

    "How can I buy girls' things?"

    Dapuhua stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll fetch something, once you see it you like it." After that, he went to his study.

    Soon, he came back with a small jewelry box and said, "Open it and have a look."

    Wang Mian took the box, gently opened the lid, and saw a shiny white hairpin inside.

    I saw it exquisite and clear, with lifelike apricot blossom branches carved on the body of the hairpin, three apricot blossoms quietly blooming on the head of the hairpin, and three glittering golden flower buds waiting for the wedding. There was a butterfly pendant hanging on the top.  Then, the butterfly can fly away!  It's really elegant and elegant.

    Wang Mian was very excited, "Brother Jianshan, where did you get this good thing?"

    "Hey, don't talk about it," Dapuhua said, "I finally asked someone to buy it for her, but they insisted that it was not a plum blossom hairpin, but an apricot flower, so they returned it to me. Brother Yuanzhang, are you  Master of plum painting, tell me, is this apricot blossom?"

    "Of course it is." Wang Mian said affirmatively, "the petals of the apricot flower are slightly slender, mostly light white and light pink, the flower branches are short, the branches are not stretched, the petals are single, and there are five flowers;  Its characteristics are multiple petals, which are close to the branches and open, with 1 to 2 flowers per node. The corolla is not round, and the branches are more thorny."

    "Oh, it's so complicated!"

    "You haveEveryone is afraid to avoid the evil day.  Therefore, babies born in May or May 5th are often named Zhenxie, Quxie, and some family members discard babies born on this day.  In addition, May is also considered to be the day when the five poisons are raging in the world. Centipedes, snakes, and mice will jump out to make troubles, and there will be ghosts, plagues, poisonous gas and other evil things dancing around. It is not suitable for marriage.

    The reason why the ancients banned marriage in June is because there is a saying called "marry a wife for half a year in June". What does this mean?  That is to say, June is half of December of a year, and in June, half of the year has passed.  If you choose to get married in June, it means that the couple can only be sweet until the end of the year.  After the new year, everything will not go well, either divorced, or unlucky things.

    Compared with May and June, July is even worse.  May is just a bad month, and July is a ghost month.  May 5th is the evil day in the evil month, and July 15th is the ghost day in the ghost month, and this day is the Ghost Festival in traditional Chinese culture.  Every July, ghosts big and small from hell and the palace of Hades will come from the underworld to make trouble in the yangworld.  In order not to offend these ghosts and gods, people dare not get married in this July.  But July is not all about ghosts and ghosts, there is another romantic event, which is Valentine's Day on July 7, Qixi Festival.  According to legend, on the Qixi Festival, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet on the magpie bridge, and they can only see each other once a year.  Therefore, the ancients would not get married on Qixi Festival, because after getting married, the husband and wife may be separated. Who would like to see each other only once a year?

    August is also not suitable for marriage.  Everyone knows that August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this day is actually a day for folks to sacrifice to the land masters.  Whoever wants to get married in August and marry back his wife is not his wife, but the landlady, the wife of the land master.  Is it bad to marry a landlady?  very bad.  The reason turned out to be that the land master turned out to be a strict wife, afraid of his wife.  Therefore, if a man marries a wife in August, he will be afraid of his wife in the future.

    Therefore, four, five, six, seven, eight, these five months are not suitable for marriage.  In addition, there are some other considerations, that is, try to choose other double days that are suitable for marriage months, not a single day.  The reason is easy to understand, Shuangri, good things come in pairs, happy events for two people, naturally they will be in pairs.  If it is placed on a single day, it means being alone, which is very unlucky.  There is another saying in the ancients that it is absolutely forbidden to marry when the bride is on her menstrual period, which is a taboo.  The reason is very scary, it is called "riding a horse to worship the church, the family is ruined and the family is destroyed".  Because of this, when the ancients selected the wedding day, the woman must ask the bride's menstrual period clearly, and then choose a day that is very far away from the menstrual period.

    In modern society, science and technology are advanced, and feudal superstition is no longer mentioned. These traditional folk sayings actually have no scientific basis.  The main reasons why the ancients were willing to get married in winter were: first, the ingredients for the wedding banquet were easy to store, and second, there was no busy farming in winter.  Other reasons cannot be believed at all, just understand the marriage customs of the ancients.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
