The next day.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on Chang'an City.

Under the rising sun, the majestic city gate slowly opened.

Buzz —

As the city gate opened, noise came from the city gate.

The next moment.

The people who had been waiting long ago flocked out of the cave in the city gate and walked happily towards the suburbs.

Today is Shangsi Festival.

One of the important festivals of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Shangsi Festival originated from the witchcraft "elimination", which was led by a full-time witch and used orchid bath to ward off evil spirits.

"The Analects of Confucius" says: "In late spring, the spring clothes are completed, five or six people have crowns, six or seven boys have bathed in Yi, the wind is dancing in the chinese, and the song is returned."

What I wrote about is the situation of a slaughter.

After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the significance of sacrifices was greatly weakened, and the meaning of welcoming spring and enjoying the tour became stronger - "Men's clothes are bright and bright, while women's flowers are bright and gorgeous."

By the Tang Dynasty.

Shangsi Festival has developed to its peak.

On this day, the sun was shining, singing and dancing... From emperors and officials to the people, men, women, young and old, and people were out of their clothes.

This moment.

A day of carnival is about to begin.

...

Time has passed shortly.

The banks of the Qujiang River are already crowded with people.

On the long river bank, there are crowds of black people everywhere, and there is no end to see at first glance.

People were dressed in bright clothes and greeting each other happily, and did they burst into laughter?

A sing and dancing brings peace.

There was a passage among the crowd and no one stepped into it.

The two rows of imperial guards in the palace were majestic and separated on both sides, freeing up a two-meter-wide passage in the middle, as if waiting for the important figure to appear.

On duty in the imperial guards.

Fang Ying's eyes turned around: "Good, why are there so many people coming today?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

Next to him, Jia Wu kept his chest raising his head, and said without squinting: "Today is Shangsi Festival, and its importance is comparable to Shangyuan Day."

"Fifth Brother, why don't you turn your head when you talk to me?"

"Are we on guard? Everyone in Chang'an City is watching!" Jia Wu showed righteousness.

"Nonsense, I know you're watching beautiful girls."

"Haha, you guessed this too."

Fang Ying turned his head slightly: "Brother Third, why don't you speak?"

The senior high school senior replied coldly: "I am on duty and it is inconvenient to speak."

"Hey?" Fang Yingxiao asked, "Why don't you turn your head to look at me?"

"You didn't turn your head to look at me."

"No, no, I'll look at you with my side light..."

"Okay, stop beating." Jia Wu interrupted, "I have to row a boat race later, so keep some strength."

Senior high school expressed dissatisfaction: "With your hands on rowing, but don't use your mouth."

Jia Wubo was angry: "Don't you have to say anything when you shout horns?"

"This time I agree with Brother Wu." Fang Ying explained: "You have to devote yourself to doing things. When Shishi and I were on the couch, the screams in her mouth never stopped."

I was stunned for a moment.

Jia Wu felt heartbroken: "Miss Shishi is so delicate, you treat her like this!"

The senior high school nodded coldly: "Fang Er, you are vulgar."

Fang Ying smiled and said, "If you should be vulgar, you should be vulgar. Otherwise, when you are still hesitating, others will be free to enter and exit."

The second general of Hum and Ha was shocked, feeling that what Fang Ying said made sense.

Just then.

A long carriage appeared in the distance.

A large number of fully armed imperial guards, holding weapons and flags, guarding the convoy forward tightly.

In full view of everyone.

The convoy slowly stopped at the entrance of the passage.

An eunuch immediately ran to the front and sang:

"The saint arrived-"

The voice is still circling in the air.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a golden robe, appeared under the attention of everyone.

Immediately afterwards.

The concubines and princes in the harem also appeared one after another.

Later, all the civil and military officials and nobles got off the car.

Finally, the envoys of various countries, monarchs of the vassal states, and dressed in various ethnic costumes, followed by the end of the team.

A group of people were in a vast and led by Li Shimin, slowly walked over from the entrance of the passage.

"Welcome to the saint--"

The people on both sides shouted loudly and bowed.

Li Shimin stopped, clasped his fists and slowly returned the gift, then moved his steps and led everyone to the end of the passage.

Incense tables have already been placed here.

Pigs and sheep were placed on the table.

After the sandalwood was swaying, a tall statue of god stood up.

...It is the image of a woman, in fertility, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her whole body exudes the brilliance of maternality.

This is "high vision".

He is known as the god of spring management and is in charge of fertility.

There is a folk saying: "The dragon raises its head on the second day of the second month of the third month of the third month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the second month of the year."

By March 3, the seven constellations of the Qinglong have completely appeared in the eastern sky. The Qinglong represents spring, and all things grow and reproduce.

Therefore, "Gao Vision" and the Qinglong Seven Constellations correspond to each other.

During the Shangsi Festival activities, the most important activity is to sacrifice high spirits, which is a ritual for praying for children.

beside.

Ananda Zhang sang loudly:

"In the 13th year of Zhenguan, Shangsi Festival, sacrifice begins-"

The words fell.

Li Shimin held sandalwood in his hand and led everyone behind him to bow to the statue.

at the same time.

The eunuch whispered:

"On the day when the Xuanniao arrived, the emperor personally went there, and the concubines led the nine concubines to the Tailao Temple in the 'Suburbs'..."

Li Shimin led people to worship again.

Ananda Zhang then sang: "The green dragon appears in the air, and everything grows..."

Li Shimin and others bowed three times.

"Shangsi worships high spirits, and the descendants don't have to worry about..."

Zhang Ananda said loudly: "Please bring a bow and arrow, and give it a bow and arrow, before the 'Suzuan'..."
