    Huilan wanted to know how sincere Jackson was to her, so the two sisters exchanged clothes in the car, and planned to let the third sister Xinger go to talk to him.

    Xiang Cao, who was observing the situation under the car, urged: "Miss, hurry up, he is going up the mountain."

    Hui Lan replied: "You go first, go ahead and stop him!"

    So, Vanilla rushed all the way and rushed to the mountain pass in front of Jackson.

    [1] "Legend" Liu Bing. Lyrics Li Jian. Song Faye Wong. Song

    Hui Lan and Myolie got out of the car after changing their clothes, and followed behind Jackson. They tried to overtake him several times, but failed. Vanilla, who was walking in front, kept looking back.  Every time she looked back, it aroused everyone's attention and discussion, and made Jackson look at her twice more.  As a last resort, Vanilla pretended to fall to the ground and let Jackson step forward to help her; Sister Hui Lan took the opportunity to overtake her and walked in front of Jackson.

    When she turned her head and saw Jackson caring so much about vanilla, Cymbidium's face immediately darkened again.

    Myolie noticed all these subtle changes, and she jokingly said, "Are you jealous?"

    Hui Lan said displeased: "Who is jealous~"

    "It seems that this foreigner is also unreliable!" Myolie suggested, "Second Sister, why don't you just give up?"

    "Wait a little longer" After hesitating for a moment, Hui Lan said again, "However, my sister thinks that for a man, kindness always comes first."

    "How do you say that?"

    "Looking for a man, he may have no money or no status, but he must be kind. In today's society, it is unrealistic to expect a man to be devoted to you In fact, no one can guarantee 'love'  Forever. If you don¡¯t want to be calculated, slandered, or even lose everything when you break up in the future, you must choose a kind man.¡±

    "Oh~" Xing'er said, "If I knew this was the case, you should have fallen, and I wouldn't have eaten this kind of dry vinegar Eh~? How about we have a 'hero save the beauty'"

    "What hero saves the beauty?"

    "For example, you are that beautiful woman, I will come to that rascal, I will rob you, let him rescue"

    "Is he saving you or me? Two girls fighting"

    "Of course I saved you, I'm that rascal How could he save me?!"

    "Keep your voice down!" Hui Lan reminded her, "Rogue, what are you doing? Besides, do you know how to 'bleed'!"

    "Why not? Isn't it just a kiss!" Xing'er said disdainfully.

    Seeing Xing'er's ignorant face, Hui Lan felt amused, "Oh, dearit's not as simple as you think"

    "Isn't it? I've seen all the bullies in the wine shop like this," Xing'er imitated the little rogue and performed, "Little girl, let me give you a kiss"

    Hui Lan burst out laughing with a "puchi".

    "I'll learn how to look like it!"

    "Like what, I just remembered that you molested that bearded old man just now."

    "Who is molesting him!"

    "Isn't it?" Hui Lan said, "Don't say it, it's really a bit of a robbery!"

    "Oh, I robbed that old man?"

    "Yes! Young man, you can't take it!"

    "Hmph, can't you rob it? Later, I'll rob that yellow hair, see if I can rob it or not"

    The two were chatting lively, when Xiang Cao shouted behind him: "Why are you going? You support me!"

    Hui Lan turned her head and saw that Jackson was chasing after her. After a moment of surprise, she pushed Xing'er casually, said, "Take him!" and then ran away.

    Myolie slowed down, guessing that he was approaching, so she turned her head quickly, and met the eyes of Jackson who was running forward

    After striking up a conversation, the two found a rock and sat down.

    Seeing Jackson and Myolie talking earnestly, Huilan's jealousy surged again, she turned her head quickly, and hurried past - she was dressed in white, with a heroic look on her face.

    Jackson thought it was a white-clothed fairy who didn't eat fireworks in the world, and was about to feel melancholy, when he saw the fairy turned around and gave him a hard look.

    Just this one glance, Jackson was stunned all of a sudden¡ªisn¡¯t this the familiar look back that he was looking for, the one he saw in the alley on a rainy day?  !

    [Song] "Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd, I never forgot your face; I dreamed that I could meet again one day by chance, and from then on I began to miss you alone."

    Looking back, this is?The Gaozhen, also known as the suburban temple, is worshiped at the Shangsi Festival. It is named after it is offered in the suburbs. It is the god of marriage and childbirth.  Xuan is the same medium, and Xuan comes from Shen.  The original Gaoxuan was a female, and it was an adult female, with a pregnancy shape.  The folk custom of offering sacrifices to Gaoxuan is also a metaphor for the matchmaker to pull strings to facilitate the relationship between men and women, which also belongs to the nature of Valentine's Day.

    (3) The cultural connotation of Chinese Valentine's Day is much richer than that of Western Valentine's Day

    During the Shangsi Festival, it is a good time for men and women to talk about love in ancient times.  Since young men and women will gather by the river on this day, it provided the ancients with an opportunity to fall in love freely.

    "Book of Rites" records, "The moon of mid-spring makes men and women meet, and those who run can't help it."  frame of mind.

    According to "The Book of Songs. Zheng Feng. Qin Wei": Qin and Wei, Fang Huanxi.  Scholars and women, Fang Bingxi.  The woman said: "Will you watch?" The scholar said: "And now."  The pure and beautiful ancient folk painting "Qin Wei" brings us back to the Valentine's Day in the era of "Book of Songs" that has disappeared in the jungle of time. We heard the voice of love coming from the middle of the peony petals: "Victors and women, Yiqi  Jiang Jie, give him a spoonful of medicine."

    In the history of our country, especially during the Han and Tang Dynasties, there are quite a lot of stories about going out to find love.  It was at the age of 19 that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty met the singing girl Wei Zifu after the ceremony of "Xiuxiu" on the Shangsi Festival, and they fell in love with each other for 50 years.

    Around the Shangsi Festival is a good time for outings, so the cultural customs of Chinese Valentine's Day are rich and interesting. There are a series of custom sports activities such as outings, swinging, Cuju, playing polo, planting willows, etc., far surpassing the Western Valentine's Day  connotation.

    (4) The traditional "Qixi Festival" is Qiqiao Festival, not Valentine's Day

    ?Many folklore experts in China have far-fetched their conclusions, and it is really ignorant to attach Qixi Festival to Chinese Valentine's Day.

    The Qixi Qiqiao Festival originated in the Han Dynasty. Ge Hong's "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has a record that "Han Cainu often wears seven-hole needles in the Kaijin Building on July 7th, and everyone learns about it". This is what is said in ancient documents.  The earliest record of Qiqiao that I have seen.  On this day, the core of traditional cultural customs is women¡¯s begging for skillfulness, including begging for skillfulness through needles, begging for spider silk, testing skillful skills by throwing needles, eating fruit, worshiping Weaver Girl, making Qiaogu, etc., which has nothing to do with Valentine¡¯s Day.

    Begging for skillfulness through needles, which began in the Han Dynasty, is the earliest way of begging for skillful skills. The spider Yingying is a little later than begging for skillful needlework, and started in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.  Throwing needles to test for cleverness is a variant of the custom of threading needles and begging for cleverness on the Qixi Festival, and it was a popular Qixi Festival custom in the Ming and Qing dynasties.  Even though the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was incorporated into the Qiqiao Festival later, Qixi Festival does not commemorate the love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but the person who commemorates the Weaver Girl. The original meaning of the festival is still Qiqiao.

    The folks call Zhinu also "Seven Sisters", and regard her as the goddess of textiles, with extraordinary wisdom and skills. On this day, women worship Zhinu at night, beg her for wisdom and skills, and beg God to let themselves be like Zhinu.  Handy.  Of course, Qixi Festival is the day when the Cowherd and Weaver Girl reunite. While praying for skill, it has naturally become a custom to pray for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl¡¯s family reunion and happiness, which has nothing to do with the Valentine¡¯s Day custom of talking about love.

    In short, there is almost nothing related to love in the content of the traditional Qixi Festival. On the contrary, young women gather together to compete in female celebrity skills and even cooking skills, hoping that their ingenuity will increase steadily.  Therefore, even if this day is called "Girlfriend's Day" or "Girlfriend's Day", it is still in line with the traditional meaning of Qixi Festival. Now it is interpreted and promoted by businesses as "Chinese Valentine's Day", which really ruins the traditional Chinese tradition.  "Chinese Valentine's Day" Qi Qiao Festival.

    (5) When Valentine's Day meets Tomb-sweeping Day

    Let's first look at an Internet joke about Qingming Festival.

    Q: "What's the difference between Valentine's Day and Tomb-sweeping Day?"

    Answer: "Valentine's Day and Ching Ming Festival are the same, both send flowers and food, the difference is: Valentine's Day burns real money and tells people a bunch of nonsense; Ching Ming Festival burns 'fake' money and talks a bunch of people  Tell the ghosts."

    Although it is a joke, culture and history are such a coincidence. Since the Shangsi Festival falls on March 3 every year, it often coincides with the traditional Chinese Qingming Festival in time.

    The Qingming Festival in ancient China refers to the period of Qingming solar terms.  This period is a good time for spring plowing and spring planting. There are agricultural sayings such as "before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans".  In the early Qingming Festival, there was no custom of offering sacrifices. The custom of offering sacrifices originated from the Cold Food Festival. According to legend, it was established by Duke Wen of Jin to commemorate Jie Zitui.

    Originally, the Shangsi Festival had nothing to do with the Qingming Festival, but because the Shangsi Festival and the Cold Food Festival both fell around the Qingming Festival, and the time of the Shangsi Festival, Qingming Festival and the Cold Food Festival coincided, the custom of the "Shangsi Spring Play" was later attributed to the Qingming Festival, and cold food was eaten after the Song Dynasty.  The custom of offering sacrifices during the Qingming Festival has also been brought under the name of the Ching Ming Festival, and it has continued to this day.

    (6) Today's "March 3rd" custom

    Now only the Zhuang people celebrate the traditional "March 3rd". In addition to singing and talking to each other, they also have very interesting festival customs such as grabbing fireworks, throwing hydrangea balls, and eating five-color glutinous rice.

    People gather red bluegrass, yellow rice flower, maple leaf, and purple vine, soak glutinous rice with the juice of these plants, and make red, yellow, black, purple, and white glutinous rice.  According to legend, eating this kind of meal will make people prosperous and healthy.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)(6) Today's "March 3rd" custom
