    [1] "The Former Residence of Crossing Yinding Bridge - Xiaque" Song Luo. Poem

    In the old days, there were pines and locust trees in the courtyard,

    ? Like the scenery and the years of leisure;

    Baishou Lianshi had a long tea talk,

    The spring breeze is expected to be steep and the crows will return at dusk.

    Yougan and Qingwan left "Nishang Pavilion" and turned left, and entered a north-south alley [now Qianjing Hutong]. This alley merged with Nanguanfang Hutong, collectively referred to as "Nanguanfu Hutong".

    Passing the big and small Jinsi Hutong, Yougan said: "This alley is called Xiaojinsi Hutong, and the big one in front is called Dajinsi Hutong. Because it is where the 'Weaving and Dyeing Institute' is located, it was renamed to this."

    "Are these houses confiscated?"

    "It was originally a public house, so how can it be confiscated. The court re-arranged new houses for these officials, and these houses were taken away. The same is true for your house" You Gan laughed, "Oh, you thought you  Grandpa didn't want to live here, so he sold the house and put the money in his own pocketAren't you a money addict!"

    Qing Wan laughed "cheating".

    Yougan pointed to a house and said: "This 'Weaving and Dyeing Institute' is in charge of the colored silk used in the inner carrier and warehouse, not only for the inner court, but also for the outer court. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry also sent an ambassador to make an appointment here."

    After walking for more than two quarters of an hour, we arrived at "South Guanfang Hutong".

    This alley is wide and long.  At first, it could not be regarded as an alley, because there were no houses built in the south of the street, it was just a sightseeing road along the coast.  Such a beautiful Fengshui treasure land is populated by dignitaries and meritorious officials, as well as the simple and elegant dwellings of a few wealthy people.  Now, the shops stand side by side, and the south house facing the street has also been changed into the front house, but it still does not lose the simplicity and elegance of the storefront, the flow of customers is endless, and the tourists are like weaving It has once again rejuvenated the Travels of Marco Polo  The elegant demeanor of the ancient city described in "Wanjia Gathering, Gathering of Humanities".

    You Gan pointed to a tall courtyard and said, "This is your original home."

    Qing Wan watched closely.

    The welcoming pine in front of the screen wall is still emerald green, while the big locust tree hidden among the gray walls and blue tiles has only dead branches on the branches, and the texture of the old house is still clearly visible

    Qing Wan murmured: "In the past, I always dreamed that there was a pine tree and a locust tree in my house. I thought it was a dream, but it turned out to be real!"

    You Gan asked her, "Shall I take you in to have a look?"

    Qing Wan shook her head, "When you see these two trees, you are home." Then, she left silently, and asked on the way, "Why do you want to move to such a good place?!"

    Yougan said: "It's a long story."

    ¡¾2¡¿Couple of "Barbecue Season"

    Traveling to Jinghua, where is Ji's house?

    Xiangfu Shicha attracts the side of Yinding Bridge.

    While walking with Qingwan, Yougan told her the reason for moving back then.

    At the beginning, the land on the east bank of Chilan Bridge near the sea was neither lived nor rented.

    It so happened that a Musuman [Hui nationality] surnamed Ji came from Tongzhou. Seeing that no one cared about such a good place, he set up a stall here to sell roast mutton, under the guise of "Barbecue Season".

    Barbecue was originally a delicacy of grassland nomads. With the entry of Mongolians, it was also introduced to the capital.  Although the eating method has become much more particular than that of the Mongolians, the remaining wild flavor is still there, which often makes those Mongolians who have become urbanites arouse some nostalgic thoughts.

    I heard that in this "barbecue season", the roasted lamb has a "game flavor", and there is a "wild flavor" when eating barbecue.  As a result, it has attracted diners from all walks of life to come and taste it.  When the Han people came here, they were very surprised. After tasting it, everyone flocked to it.  Soon, the barbecue season became a famous snack in the capital, and the business was booming.

    The prosperity of the barbecue season lies in two aspects: one is that the surrounding area of ??the Drum Tower in the north is a bustling commercial place, with merchants from all over the world and tourists from all over the place, which brings unprecedented development and prosperity to the barbecue season; the other is the exquisite craftsmanship of the stores.  Fine workmanship, exquisite materials.  The roasted mutton is selected from "Xikou" sheep, and only the fresh and tender hind legs and upper brain are used. The fascia is removed, the moisture is removed, and it is cut into thin slices, which is translucent.  The seasonings for the barbecue season are complete, all of which are selected and selected by the store. Customers can choose according to their taste.

    Ji's family has been operating roast mutton here for many years. After accumulating savings, they bought a small building and officially opened the "Barbecue Season" barbecue restaurant.  The gifted scholars and beauties in the capital inscribe poems and inscribe poems, and those who are against each other are against each other.  A poem written by a great genius reads:

    The corner of the small building is shimmering,

    Every love faces the wind and leans against the painting rail;

    There is no limit to the taste of lamb, wine and food,

    Furnace red pine pine does not know the cold.

    The tree moves and the sparse shadows are worthy of admiration,

    theMongolians and Han people have the same system of clothing, only their hairstyles are different.  Mongolians often put the hair on the forehead into a small lock, like a peach, and braid the rest into two braids, which are then wound into two big loops and hang behind the ears, and wear hats on their heads.  Due to the influence of the Mongols, men of the Han nationality are also popular with braided and kinked hair, which is characterized by shaving two straight lines with a knife first, then shaving all the hair at the back of the head, leaving braids on the left and right sides or randomly scattered shawls.

    At first, due to Genghis Khan's perennial wars, the textile industry and handicraft industry were greatly damaged, and the palace uniform system continued to use the Song style for a long time.  It was not until 1321 during the Yingzong period of the Yuan Dynasty that the ancient system was referred to, and the "Zhengsun clothing" system of the emperor's and all officials' upper garments with lower garments, tight upper garments and shorter lower garments, with folds around the waist, and large beads hanging on the shoulders and backs, was formulated.  People call it "Yiseyi" or "Zhengsun Fu". This is a clothing system that inherits the Han nationality and also has the characteristics of the Mongolian nationality.  In large-scale activities, the emperor and all officials should wear the "Qingsun clothing" of the same color.

    "Zhisun Fu" is a shorter robe, tighter and narrower, with many pleats at the waist.  This kind of clothes is very convenient for getting on and off the horse.

    "Zhengsun clothing" is also a kind of official uniform, bestowed by the emperor, with a total of 13 sets of colors. Every time you participate in a state banquet or a large-scale state event, everyone must wear one color.  In addition to the clothes in 13 colors, an antelope belt (gold belt) is added, which is very strangely decorated with gold and silver threads, and is also of great value. It is also a pair of camel leather boots known as "Buli'er".  The boots are embroidered with silver thread, which is quite skillful.

    In addition, the Mongols also have a very distinctive clothing. People in the Yuan Dynasty directly put their sleeves behind their backs. This kind of clothing is called Haiqingyi. The biggest feature is that the sleeves have two openings at the hem of the sleeves.  The grassland climate has a large temperature difference between morning and evening. When the temperature is high, you can stick your hands out of the opening and button your sleeves to the buttons on your back.

    Aristocratic women in the Yuan Dynasty often wore a tall, long, strange-looking hat. This kind of hat was called "î¹î¹guan".  The robes they wear are wide and long, making it very inconvenient for them to walk, and they often have two maidservants behind them to help them pull the hem of the robes.  Ordinary civilian women mostly wear black robes, while Han women mainly wear skirts.

    ?The garments of the Yuan Dynasty were exquisitely crafted, with exquisite materials (brocade robes) and expensive decorations.  However, the official uniforms of the Yuan Dynasty were not given 13 times a year, but one-off.  The regulations of the Yuan Dynasty government were all inherited from the previous generation, such as the clothes for the crown, official clothes, ceremonial and guard clothes, utensils, tents, carts, saddles and bridles.  At the same time, it is stipulated that "Mongols are not restricted, and neither are people of various colors when they see the cowardly."

    The most important clothing in the Yuan Dynasty was the "Qingsun clothing" - the crown, clothing, and shoes were all in one color from top to bottom, which was very monotonous.  Fortunately, it was still possible to wear Hanfu that retained the legacy of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but this kind of Hanfu was inevitably stained with Mongolian elements, and the image was somewhat blurred.

    The clothes of the Yuan Dynasty are like Yuan Sanqu, with short sentences, which can be developed by adding lining words, but the overall level is lower than that of Song Ci, as if entering the low tide of clothing, leaving no impression on later generations.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
