    [1] Folklore of "Don't Use the Knife, Cut the Needle and Thread"

    As the saying goes:

    ? On the first day of the first day of the new year, when you move the needle and thread, you will provoke right and wrong;

    In the second day of junior high school, I used the knife and scissors, and picked out the long tendons and long needle eyes.

    In ancient times, the first month had many taboos.

    For example, the first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the broom, and you can¡¯t use the broom on this day, otherwise you will lose money; from the first to the fifth day of the new year, "siestas are forbidden".  Affect the fortune of this year; if the needle and thread are used on the first day of the new year, the eyes of the child will be as small as the eye of a needle; if you accidentally break the plate and bowl, you must resolve it immediately, and quickly add a sentence "every year is safe, every year is happy", "  Flowers on the ground, wealth and auspiciousness", and at the same time, do not throw the debris directly out of the gate, but wrap it in something and put it in a secluded place, and then dispose of it after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

    Although they are all superstitions, for those who live in other people's homes, it is inevitable to be more cautious in their words and deeds.  On the morning of the first day of junior high school, Ji Xu, who was supposed to practice swords to exercise his body, could only practice a set of "Five Elements Boxing" to stretch his muscles and bones.

    Wuxingquan belongs to internal boxing and is known as the art of "Internal Classics".  It pays attention to skill, relaxed in form and tight in mind, eclectic in shape, and varied and slightly funny in style of play.  Mu Yu thought it was fun, and once yelled at Ji Xu to teach him, but when Mu Yu returned to his home, he never saw him getting up early again.

    However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Mu Yu, he was indeed exhausted these two days.

    On the 28th, as soon as Mu Yu returned home, she went door to door to visit her uncle and uncle.

    Early on the morning of the 29th, he went to the grave with his father to invite his ancestors. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he had to walk on foot.  His mother's grave in the distance.  Why not be buried together?  There is a custom in ancient times: if a son dies before his parents or a wife dies before her husband, it is forbidden to enter the ancestral tomb. It needs to be buried elsewhere first, and then brought into the grave together after the death of the parents or husband.

    Yesterday's New Year's Eve was even more busy for the eldest grandson of the Yu family.  Mu Yu first went to worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then watched the year in the lobby after returning.

    Imperial Physician Yu saw the pain in his eyes and said in his heart: Thanks to Ji Xu's comprehensive cultivation of Mu Yu's morality, intelligence and physique this year.  Otherwise, for a child under five years old, how can it be tolerated!

    [2] "Yuan Ri" Wang Anshi. Poem

    In the sound of firecrackers, the year ends,

    The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu;

    ? On the day of the festival of thousands of households,

    Always replace the old talisman with the new peach.

    The sun, amidst the bursts of enthusiastic firecrackers, showed a red smiling face.  In an instant, thousands of golden lights shone through the treetops on the hexagonal pavilion on the rockery, dyeing a pair of yellow Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the pavilion pillars with a touch of carmine.

    The couplet quotes a sentence from Yuan Zhen's "Lisi": "The mountain spring flows loosely around the steps, and the ten thousand trees and peach blossoms reflect the small building." It seems to be describing the scene, but in fact every word is a deep yearning for the dead wife.

    Why should the Spring Festival couplets be written on yellow paper?

    The plain colored Spring Festival couplets represent the death of someone in the family: usually when a family member dies, white Spring Festival couplets are pasted in the first year; yellow Spring Festival couplets are pasted in the second year; and green Spring Festival couplets are pasted in the third year.  After three years, the red couplets can be pasted again.  The process of changing the color of Spring Festival couplets from plain to colorful is a presentation of ancient Chinese culture and a delicate expression of people's gradual progress towards a better life.

    ? Descended from the rockery, bent over the small winding bridge, and headed to my residence.  After passing through the "Guotang room", the people who saw people coming and going were all those who came to pay New Year's greetings to the imperial doctor.  Ji Xu hurried into the house, put on a brand new white brocade robe, and went to the hall of Yu's house in a graceful manner.

    As soon as he entered the room, he saw the imperial physician Yu Yannian sitting in the main hall.  He wears a silver crown with hair tied on his head, a white jacket with large sleeves inside, a white sleeveless collared collar and a deep skirt, with yellow embroidery on the neckline and hem, and light blue cloud-like patterns on the shoulders on both sides, yellow and black.  On the wide belt of hue and color, there is a yellow jade ring palace sash.  Due to the use of more yellow and embroidery, this white robe looks brilliant and noble.

    Ji Xu hurriedly went up to say hello to the New Year, and the imperial physician also gave up his seat in return, and let the servants serve the wine.

    This is the treatment that only people of the same generation come to pay New Year's greetings. If the younger generation pays New Year's greetings to the imperial physician, kowtows and then leaves immediately, how can there be the treatment of giving up the seat to drink?  It seems that Imperial Physician Yu treats Ji Xu as his little brother.

    Imperial Physician Yu said with a smile: "The dog is stupid, thanks to the master who taught him the 'six arts, the art of Confucius', the poor woman's spirit in heaven will also rest in peace. Yu represents the deceased wife, thank you very much!"

    Ji Xu got up quickly and said, "My lord, you're welcome! You can call him Pu Jisheng, why not?"Notes

    (1) Biographical introduction

    Liu Guan, whose name is Daochuan, was born in Wushu Mountain, Wuzhou Pujiang (now Lanxi Hengxi).  Xi), erudite and multi-communicative, has a deep and melancholy appearance, works in calligraphy, and is good at appreciating ancient objects and calligraphy and painting.  The official went to Hanlin to be made, and was also edited by the Academy of National History.

    In the 4th year of Dade Yuan Dynasty (1300), he was appointed as the edict of Jiangshan County, and was promoted to Xuezheng of Changguo Prefecture a few years later.  In the 6th year of Yanyou (1319), he served as an assistant teacher of Guozi and was promoted to a doctor.  There were thousands of scholars successively, and they became officials after their careers. Later, many became well-known, and the most famous ones were Song Lian, Wei Su, Wang Yi, Dai Liang and so on.

    In the first year of Taiding (1324), he was promoted to Dr. Taichang. All court ceremonies must be judged on the basis of ancient and modern times, and everyone obeys his careful review.  In the 3rd year of Taiding (1326), he was appointed as a Confucianist in Jiangxi Province. He returned to his hometown after his rank was full, and Dumen did not spend more than ten years there.

    In the first year of Zhizheng (1341), he was reused by the imperial court, and was appointed as the standby system of the Imperial Academy and the editor of the Academy of National History. He died of illness in Beijing on the ninth day of November (1342.12.7) in the second year of Zhizheng.

    Liu Guanguan is only limited to the fifth grade, and his salary does not exceed a thousand stones.  However, he had a great influence in the literary world at that time. His poems were written in ancient, hard and unique ways, with meaningful meanings, and were widely respected.

    Song Lian, the "leader of civil officials who founded the country" in the Ming Dynasty, was Liu Guan's most proud student. Song Lian once described Liu Guan's knowledge and his relationship with his teacher in this way:  Yin and Yang, laws and calendars, Tian Cheng, topography, calligraphy, ancestral genealogy and old Buddhist family books are all connectedAlthough Lian is not sensitive, he is deeply taught by Mr.

    (2) Poetry evaluation

    Liu Guan's poems are written in ancient, hard and unique ways, with meaningful meanings. The poem "Mountain Bridge" can be a representative.  He himself said: "Poetry is completed in my Jiangxi society, and Tuyuan and Liangyuan are in a few springs." It can be seen that he admires Jiangxi poetry school.  In "Self-inscribed Manuscript Volume", he said: "He Yong boasted about danger, but I really hate magic." He was a little dissatisfied with Jiangxi Poetry School.  He has several poems describing the life of the salt people on the seashore, such as "now the head of Guizhou is making a living" - "Occasionally title", "the whip is bloody and the ground is also fishy" - "feelings from Guo Su Changlu's book", for the people in suffering  Sympathy.

    Liu Guan's prose name is bigger than his poem name, and his prose is vigorous and rigorous, good at discussion, detailed and core, and he is well-known at the time.  However, most of his proses are applied words such as tombstones and steles, building schools and bridges, and not many express his temperament.  There are only a few articles such as "Response to Linchuan Danger Taipu Handwritten", the writing is clear and smooth, and the writing is written in a letter, with sincere feelings.  He commented on the social atmosphere at that time and said: "Over the past few decades, most scholars have self-interest, but their ambitions have become lower and their way has become farther and farther." Talking about the literary world at that time, he said: "The predestined relationship is shallow, and it is enough to boast in the forest of production.  And in order to obtain the capital of the magnate." These remarks hit the current situation.

    Liu Guan also has some inscriptions and postscripts, which are short and natural, and more lively than the inscriptions, so they are some good sketches.  For example, Huang Tingjian's "Songfengge Poems": Yuzhang has changed again and again, but the eight styles are pure.  Late general chicken brush, large imitation cocoon paper book.  Worked in the Songfeng Pavilion, the jade rows are sparse.  So far, Yuanyou feet, Qingbiao can be given.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
