The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 371 Clear Fire and New Tea (for Subscription)

"Think about it, everyone, when Grain Rain comes and the weather turns warmer, everyone can go outdoors more often, and like our north, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms will begin to bloom in many warm areas."

"When the weather gets warmer, can you go anywhere you want?"

Studio.

"Are the peach blossoms about to bloom?"

"Can I go to enjoy the flowers?"

"Thinking about it this way... I feel much better."

"Peach Blossom? Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that Yang Xu and Liu Xu's flying physique is about to start?!"

"Damn! Really!"

"No! Patients with severe rhinitis refuse!"

"It's over, it's over, I said why my nose is so uncomfortable recently, it turned out that the willow catkins started to fly!"

Having said that, the fans in the live broadcast room became agitated again, and it was Li Yuan who comforted them for a while, which stabilized the emotions of the fans in the live broadcast room.

And Li Yuan found that these fans in his live broadcast room sometimes seem like a group of children... unexpectedly, they still need to be coaxed.

Li Yuan: "Do you know that because of the solar term of Guyu, there are actually many customs that have been passed down in many places."

"As I know, every April 4th is the fishermen's festival in Rongcheng City, SD Province."

Studio.

"The host knows about our Fisherman's Festival?"

"What is Fishermen's Day?"

"I haven't heard of it either..."

"You know all about the anchor?"

"That's right, we do have the habit of fishermen's festival here, but... how did you know about it, anchor?"

"Anchor, your news is too well-informed, right? Many people don't know about our custom!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Not only do I know, I also know the meaning and origin of this festival."

"If you say that this festival originated from the Grain Rain Festival, and fishermen in the northern coastal areas celebrated the Grain Rain Festival, it should have a history of more than 2000 years. It was not until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty that it was changed to Fishermen's Day."

"Because of the Grain Rains day, the fishermen along the coast of Shandong pray for the blessing of the God of the Sea, so that they can go to sea safely and have a good harvest of fish and shrimp. That's why the fishermen of Rongcheng, who are getting rich now, celebrate the Grain Rains day, and they will hold a very grand 'sacrifice to the sea' activity. "

Studio.

"Sacrifice to the sea?"

"What is the Sea of ​​Sacrifice?"

"What custom is this?"

"Is it a prayer before going into the sea? This is the first time I have heard of this word."

"Sacrificing to the sea is just a custom of praying for blessings on our side, but...it's very grand."

Li Yuan: "The so-called sacrifice to the sea is actually because the sea water warms up during the Grain Rain season, and fish will go to the shallow sea area, so it is a good day to go fishing in the sea."

"And in order to be able to go to sea safely and return with a full load, fishermen hold sea sacrifices on the day of Grain Rain to pray for the blessing of the sea god. Therefore, the Grain Rain Festival is also called the 'Zhuang Xing Festival' for fishermen to go fishing."

"Like the seaside in the old days, there were sea temples or empress temples in every village. When the sacrificial time came, fishermen would carry offerings to the temple to offer sacrifices to. Some would carry offerings to the beach, beat gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers. Facing the sea to sacrifice, the scene is very grand."

Speaking of Guyu, there are actually many legends, and what Li Yuan told is just one of them.

Like Guyu's custom of banning scorpions, it is also because of a legend.

The ban on scorpions is mainly a custom of residents in Linfen, Shanxi.

It is said that on the rainy day, Zhang Tianshi will be painted and pasted on the door, which is called "forbidden scorpion".The forbidden scorpion charms in Shaanxi area are even printed in woodcuts.

On it, it will also be printed: In the midst of Grain Rain and March, the scorpion is showing off its prestige.The magic chicken took a bite, and the poisonous insect turned into water... and so on.

In the center of the picture, a rooster with a worm in its mouth is painted, with a large scorpion under its paw.And painting the rooster is also because of the saying that the rooster cures the scorpion.

Think about the five chapters in the famous "Journey to the West", it was recorded that Monkey King Zhu Bajie was no match for the scorpion spirit, and then Monkey King went to invite the Pleiades Star Officer.

As a result, as soon as the Pleiades star officer came, it really succeeded.

And the body of Pleiades Star Officer is actually a double-crowned rooster!

It is described in the book that the Pleiades star official showed his true form—a big rooster, and the big rooster yelled at the scorpion spirit, and the scorpion spirit immediately showed its original shape, which was a scorpion the size of a lute.The big rooster crowed again, and the scorpion spirit was so soft that he died on the hillside.

Therefore, Shandong folk custom painted chickens and scorpions.

Studio.

"I didn't think it before, but now I think Journey to the West is quite interesting."

"Anchor, how do you know so much?"

"I'm wondering... How much common sense do you have that we don't know, anchor?"

"Haha, that's why I painted chickens!"

"Anchor, is it customary for you to invite friends to dinner today?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

"That's not true, I just want to get together, just in time for Gu Yu."

"However... in ancient times, there was indeed a custom of walking in the valley rain. It's just that young women go to the village to visit relatives on the day of the valley rain. It doesn't have to be too harsh. Some people just go to the wild and come back."

"It's just that the Gu Yu I know seems to have the custom of drinking tea and drinking tea."

The custom of picking tea in Grain Rain is actually in the south.

It is said that drinking tea on Guyu Day can clear fire, ward off evil spirits, and improve eyesight.So no matter what the weather is on Guyu, people will go to the tea mountain to pick some new tea and drink it back.

And this tea is also called Grain Rain Tea and Yuqian Tea, and some places also call this kind of tea "Second Spring Tea".

"The temperature in the spring valley rainy season is moderate, the rainfall is abundant, and the tea trees have been recuperating for half a year in winter, so the spring shoots and leaves are plump, green in color, soft in quality, rich in vitamins and amino acids, making spring tea taste fresh and fragrant. It will be even more pleasant."

"In addition to the young buds, Guyu tea also has one bud and one young leaf or one bud and two young leaves."

"Tea leaves with buds and leaves are soaked in water, like ancient guns with banners, so because of this, this kind of tea is also called flag guns."

"One bud and two young leaves are like a finch's tongue, known as the sparrow tongue. Like Qingming tea, it is a good product in the same year."

"Generally, the price of Yuqian tea is more economical, and the shape of soaked in tea is also better, and the taste is not inferior to Mingqian tea, so most tea drinkers will be more in pursuit of Guyu tea."

Studio.

"The host even knows about our Grain Rain Tea?"

"This festival should be more common among southerners. After all, tea trees are not planted in the north."

"The anchor knows so much about tea? Why didn't he know it before?"

"How do you know? The host doesn't drink tea either..."

"No, I really haven't seen the anchor drink tea."

"Anchor, do you have customs related to Grain Rain in Northeast China? Why didn't you see the anchor say it?"

Li Yuan: "During the Grain Rain, the weather in Northeast China is generally colder, and the crops grow slowly, so there are really not many customs."
