The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 347
On the Internet, it is unknown who posted the song sung by Li Yuan on the Internet.

Suddenly, many people were fascinated by this clean and refreshing sound.

Although there is no accompaniment, although there is no soundtrack, only the simple singing voice, it still attracts countless listeners...

Li Yuan couldn't help but blush when he saw so many praises in the live broadcast room, so he could only change the subject in a hurry.

"By the way, I mentioned to everyone before that there are many customs on Qingming Festival, do you still remember?"

"It's like outing, also known as spring outing. In ancient times, it was also called Tanchun and Xunchun. In March, when the Qingming comes, spring returns to the earth, and the natural world is full of vitality. This is also the best time to go out for fun. "

"There is also tree planting. Everyone knows that March [-]th is the Arbor Day in our country. That is because around the Qingming Festival, the spring sun shines and the spring rain is flying. Planting saplings at this time can be said to have the highest survival rate and growth. The fastest time."

"So, since ancient times, our country has had the habit of planting trees during the Qingming Festival."

"However, everyone should be familiar with these things. Now, let me tell you a few customs that we have rarely heard of."

"The first... is to swing."

Studio.

"Arbor Day, swinging?"

"What kind of custom is this?"

"No, what's the custom?"

"Why do you have to play on a swing? Do you have any explanation?"

"Isn't this just an entertainment activity? And it's for children..."

"Who said only children can play on the swing? I, an adult, like it too!"

"Yes, I like it too!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't doubt everyone, this swinging... is indeed one of the customs of Qingming."

"Swing, in fact, its original meaning is 'grab the leather rope and migrate', and the earliest swing was not called swing, but 'Qianqiu', but it was later renamed as swing to avoid taboo."

Studio.

"Qianqiu? Is it Qianqiu who lives forever?"

"I seem to have heard this when I was watching TV. What is it... The swing was originally used to pray."

"If you want me to say, is it that complicated? This is just a toy."

"Listen to the anchor, the anchor must know!"

Li Yuan: "Actually, it's really simple. The swing was originally made of tree branches as a frame, and then tied with ribbons. Later, it gradually developed into a swing with two ropes and pedals."

"And its existence was not for children to play at first, but for warriors to play."

"Swinging can actually not only improve health, but also cultivate courage, because the safety of swings at that time was far from as high as it is now, so children couldn't play at all."

"It's just because people who like swings have compared it, and then it was processed and gradually developed into a children's game."

"Not only that, but there is another Qingming custom that I mentioned before... Cuju, which is the football we have evolved from now, is also a game played by warriors."

"Ju first originated in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Ju was still made of leather splicing, and the ball was stuffed tightly with hair. Then kick the ball with your feet."

"And during the Ching Ming Festival, it is also the most popular and frequent season for Cuju activities. Over time, it has evolved into an indispensable activity for the Qing Ming Festival."

Studio.

"This activity is good!"

"Playing football? This is a sport that exercises people..."

"Play football on Qingming Festival? I like this activity, but no one plays with me anymore."

"Is the movement of the old man so rich?"

"Sure! After all, there were no mobile phones in those days..."

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Any other activities?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"Yes, fly a kite."

"Kite flying is also a popular activity during the Qingming Festival, and it is quite popular with nobles."

"Every Ching Ming Festival, we not only fly kites during the day, but now we can also fly kites at night, and even the kites at night are more beautiful than during the day!"

"A string of colorful little lanterns are hung on the kite line, just like the twinkling stars, and this is also called a magic lamp."

"It's just that in the past, the ancients liked to cut the strings of kites after flying them into the blue sky, and let the wind send them to the sky. I bring my words to ancestors who have passed away..."

Studio.

"Our Cold Food Festival also has the custom of swinging, but in addition to swinging, there are also blanket playing and tug-of-war."

"We still have cockfights here!"

"Yes, yes, cockfighting, we are also very popular!"

"Coordinates in Shaanxi. We have to visit each other's tombs during the Qingming Festival, and we also prepare animals to sacrifice to pray for a good harvest. In our local area, it is called 'swimming water'."

"After the sweeping of the Qingming Festival, we have to break the willow branches to insert the door, and then stick the paper money on the tree trunk. Grandpa said that he thought it was to prevent insects and ants."

"In Luochuan County, buns are steamed during the Qingming Festival, and there will be some decorations of birds and snakes around the buns."

"We don't have too many requirements for the food here, but around the Qingming Festival, three or two women go to the countryside for picnics together. Men regardless of acquaintances can join the table and have fun, which is very interesting."

Li Yuan: "It seems that the customs in different places are indeed quite different, and I have never heard of many of the customs you mentioned."

"However... I do know a little about the diet during the Ching Ming Festival."

Speaking of food, Li Yuan still knows a lot.

For example, eating Qingtuan during Qingming Festival is one of the most famous foods.In fact, apart from the Youth League, there are still many unpopular eateries.

"Because the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival are merged into one, some eating habits of the Cold Food Festival have also been brought into the Qingming Festival, so cold food... will be followed during the Qingming Festival in many places."

Studio.

"Cold food, cold food, what is cold food?"

"Yeah, what kind of food are you eating cold food on Qingming Festival?"

"Eggs, cold pastry, and sorghum rice are all cold food."

"It's very simple, cold food is cold food!"

"Yes, yes, these are the things to eat during the Ching Ming Festival."

"We also have pancakes and bitter vegetables here. In my mother's words, eating bitter vegetables on Qingming Festival will make your eyes brighter! And no fires are allowed on the day before Qingming."

Li Yuan: "Well, the so-called cold food is cold food, but there are also many places where it is popular to share the sacrificial food after the sacrifice."

"For example, some Jinnan people are used to steaming steamed buns with white flour during the Ching Ming Festival, with walnuts, dates, and beans sandwiched in the middle. The outside is shaped like a dragon, and an egg is stuck in the middle of the dragon's body. If I remember correctly ...This one should be called Zifu."

Studio.

"That's right, that's Zifu!"
