    Yan Dihan,

    After the Flower Festival, the lingering cold is still severe.

    When it is cold and windy, it is used to fly sand and gravel.

    In a cramped room, I can't get out.

    Every time you brave the wind and gallop, you will return before a hundred steps

    The second year of Yuan Taiding [1325] was a leap month year, and the leap month was the first month.  As a result, the Spring Festival has become the coldest time in most of the city.

    It was the first time for Ji Xu to come to Kyoto, and also the first time to spend New Year in the north.  I wanted to see the prosperity of the capital, but I didn't expect that the capital was so deserted.

    Every time I want to go out to play in the gust of wind, but within a hundred steps, I am blocked by flying sand and rocks.  So he can only be confined to one room, and he doesn't want to go anywhere.

    [2] "Travel Notes of Manjing - Zhongjie" Yuan Hongdao. Travel Notes

    ?Gaoliu clipping, earth paste slightly moist,

    Looking at the sky, it is like a swan out of the cage.

    ? At that time, the ice skin began to dissolve, and the bosichamin,

    The waves are layer upon layer, clear to the bottom,

    Jingjing is like a newly opened mirror,

    And the cold light suddenly came out of the box.

    The mountains are washed by clear snow,

    Juuan is like a wipe, fresh and bright,

    Just like the face of a beautiful girl, the beginning of the bun is also swept away.

    Today, the sun is shining brightly.

    Ji Xu looked at the spring scenery all over the garden, and said to himself: "February 2[1], it's the 'Flower Festival' in my hometown, I shouldn't be bored in the house, I should invite some friends to go out for an outing.  Yes" I was thinking about it when I heard someone knocking on the door.

    After opening the door, I saw a middle-aged man with a girl and a child, so I understood that he was invited to go to a private school.  Because he promised Xiuran in advance to go to his third aunt's house to teach his two cousins, Ji Xu followed Zhen Youqian to his mansion without any hesitation.

    It just so happened that when the carriage passed the "Huguang Guild Hall", a loud cannon startled the Zhen family's horses.  The horse ran wildly in the carriage, seeing that the people on the carriage were about to have an accident.  Ji Xu rushed into the carriage without hesitation, and jumped off while holding Qingwan in his arms. Just as the bodies of the two fell to the ground, the carriage rushed into the Gaoliang River.

    After comforting Qing Wan, Ji Xu came to the river bank again to check the condition of the carriage.

    I saw that the thin ice on the river had just begun to melt, and the waves began to brighten; the fish scale-like ripples rippled layer by layer; the river water was so clear that one could see the bottom of the river.  The frightened Lie Ma was much more honest now, with only his head half-opened, looking at him with pleading eyes

    Ji Xu quickly took off his clothes.

    Qing Wan who followed panicked, "What are you doing?"

    "Go save that horse!" Ji Xu took off his coat, which he intended to put on the grass by the river bank.

    But Qingwan took it for him, and said: "It's such a cold day, are you dying?"

    "It's okay, I'm in great shape!"

    "The horse ran down the river by itself, why take such a big risk to save it?"

    "Hey~, look at its pitiful appearance, you must know it's wrong We have to give it a chance to correct itself!"

    Qingwan stared at Ji Xu closely, saw the luxurious clothes peeling off layer by layer, and thought: He is really a rich man, his family is not ordinary rich!

    "Sister, don't keep looking at me!"

    Qing Wan blushed, turned around quickly, and said, "Little hairy child, are you still afraid of watching?!"

    Ji Xu took off his clothes, jumped into the river in a hurry, and swam to the side of the carriage Fortunately, the hood of the carriage was still exposed on the water He climbed up to the top of the hood, came to the side of the carriage, and untied the horse.  The harnessthe harness was loosened, but the horse sankIt turned out that the two long handlebars of the carriage pushed the horse's head out of the waterJi Xu quickly pulled the rein, and pulled the horse's head out again  On the surface of the water holding it, trying to swim to the shore The horse also seemed to understand the meaning of the man, imitating him, and kept thumping, trying not to let himself sink into the water Finally, the two of them climbed  ashore

    Qing Wan hurriedly put the clothes on Ji Xu, and Ji Xu also hurriedly took the trousers, shivering and put them on her legs.  The more anxious you are, the more you can't catch it.

    Qing Wan had no choice but to go up to help, seeing the little brown horse shivering from the cold, Qing Wan scolded: "Bastard, now you know it's cold!"

    Ji Xu teased and said, "Sister, don't scold me!"

    Qing Wan also laughed, "You should scold me too! Is it worth freezing yourself for such a bastard?!"

    "I have to make it run and sweat quickly, or it will freeze to death"

    &The folk proverb "On February 2, the dragon raises its head; when the big warehouse is full, the small warehouse flows" is widely circulated in the area.  In the early morning of the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, villagers in many areas in the north get up early. Housewives take out a basket of plant ash left over from burning firewood from the bottom of their pots and stoves, take a small iron shovel to shovel some plant ash, and draw on the ground.  Come round one by one.  The circles surrounding the warehouse are large and small, ranging from three circles to as many as five circles, single but not double.  After enclosing the granary, put the food from the family devoutly in the middle of the granary, and intentionally scatter it around the granary, symbolizing the bumper harvest of that year.

    smoked worm

    In ancient times, organisms in nature were divided into five categories: caterpillars, feather worms, scale insects, scale insects, and humans.  Caterpillars refer to hairy mammals, feather insects refer to birds, medium insects refer to crustaceans, and scale insects refer to fish with scales and winged insects.  The dragon is the strength of the scale insects, and when the dragon emerges, all the insects will hide.  The second day of February is just around the time of the Waking of Insects, when insects germinate, diseases are prone to occur, and insect pests are also the natural enemies of crops. Therefore, people attract dragons to subdue insects, hoping to use the power of the dragon to subdue all insects, bless human beings and animals, and the grains will be plentiful.  In the second month of the lunar calendar, the weather is getting warmer, and various insects start to move. Some insects are harmful to human health. Therefore, on February 2, people spread out pancakes and burn incense, hoping to drive away the poisonous insects with the smoke.

    other

    There is also a saying about eating pork head meat on the second day of February.  Since ancient times, pigs, cattle and sheep have always been used to worship gods, and later simplified to the heads of the three animals, and the pig's head is one of them.  Now there is a famous dish called "grilled pig's face". After more than 10 hours of cooking, it can be served on the table after twelve steps including material selection, cleaning, spray roasting, soaking, and sauce preparation.  There are three kinds of "grilled pig face", one is to eat in its original flavor; the other is to eat with sauce; the third is to eat with pancakes.  Each way of eating has a different taste.  ?
