The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 611 So many customs, half of them have never heard of it (for subscription)

However, Ai Ye wants to make moxa, but it takes more than a thousand times to temper the first part to complete the thick velvet.For the second sorting, it takes more than [-] years to form fine wool.

Regardless of whether it is making fine or coarse wool, the best tool is to use a stone mortar.

It's just... stone mortars are hard to come by, and they are rarely seen now.But of course, if you don't have a stone mortar, you can use a garlic pounder instead.

Although the effect is worse, it must be considered good in other respects.

Studio.

"This moxa, is it so troublesome to make?"

"Hammer a thousand times? This is too troublesome..."

"What is a mortar? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Yes, what is a mortar?"

"No wonder this moxa is so expensive, it's too troublesome..."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Well, indeed."

"The method of moxa is very troublesome, and it has just completed two steps. There is a third step of sorting moxa, sifting out the fines."

"After the screening, the moxa has to go through the fourth step of selection, and only then will the finished moxa appear."

"Although the whole process requires manpower, and the process is also a lot of trouble, and even after four steps, there will still be inexhaustible residues of impurities."

"It's just... such an imperfection, but it just proves that the mugwort is artificial."

"Although the sand and gravel in the moxa will disappear under the stirring of the machine and steel, and the impurities will be much less, but this kind of moxa will still be crushed under the machine, and the medicinal properties will naturally be broken."

"However... after the moxa is ready, the method of making moxa sticks will be much simpler."

"Put an appropriate amount of moxa on a flat-bottomed disc, and then pinch it into a cylindrical shape with three fingers, index, middle, and thumb, and then make a moxa pillar for moxibustion."

"Of course, the paper on the outside of the moxa roll is also particular. The best thing is to use the mulberry skin."

"A good moxa stick is better if it is squeezed harder, and there are three types of moxa sticks. The largest moxa stick is no more than the thickness of a thumb, and the smaller one is only the size of a broad bean. Yes, it is only the size of a grain of wheat."

Studio.

"Too much trouble……"

"Yeah, from what the anchor said, it's troublesome."

"So...do you really have to buy it next year?"

"Didn't the anchor already say that only Chen Ye can make moxa strips, so it must be next year!"

"Hey, it's true, I have to wait so long..."

"It's okay to wait a year! After all, the anchor is trustworthy here!"

"That's right, I'm willing for one year!"

"I would too."

"Yes, yes, I am willing too!"

"By the way, today's Dragon Boat Festival, anchor, don't you have any activities?"

"Yes, we have a dragon boat race at night here, but it's very lively. Isn't there a dragon boat race in Northeast China?"

"That's right, our side has already started beating the drums early in the morning. It's very lively outside now, and they're all here to watch the game!"

Li Yuan was a little envious when he saw someone mention the dragon boat race in the live broadcast room.

Shaking his head, Li Yuan said, "Dragon boat race? I've only seen this grand scene on TV. In the Northeast, there is no such custom as dragon boat race."

"As for the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a certain gap between the north and the south. The earliest Dragon Boat Festival has always been a symbol of 'poisonous day and evil day' in the minds of the ancients in the north, because the summer weather at that time was hot and dry, plagues were easy to spread, and snakes and insects were easy to bite. Hurt people, this is why the ancients gradually formed customs such as avoiding the five poisons, hiding the Dragon Boat Festival, fuming moxa, and drinking realgar wine."

"So, not many activities have been handed down in the north."

"But regarding the Dragon Boat Festival, although I haven't seen it before, I know a lot about the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. Apart from the customs I mentioned before, the most famous event is the dragon boat race that everyone mentioned just now!"

"In addition, there are luncheons, Dragon Boat baths, paper kites, and swings. There are also some unique Dragon Boat customs, such as presenting incense fans, drying hundred-day ginger, hanging yellow kudzu vines, painting foreheads, Wear a sachet, wear a long life thread, and tie a five-color thread."

"There are also gathering herbs to make tea, erecting eggs, competing in martial arts, hitting balls, avoiding the Dragon Boat Festival, wearing damselflies, posting pictures of five poisons, swimming in dry dragons, rowing happy boats, playing water at noon, dipping dragon boats in water, nine lions worshiping elephants, letting go Paper dragons, spotting moxa sticks, smoked Cangzhu, grab greens, horse-drawn horses, flower-tasting feasts, etc."

While Li Yuan was talking, he kept counting how many activities he had mentioned, but by the time he counted to the end, he had already forgotten.

Of course, Li Yuan was not the only one who was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Studio.

"Wait a minute, how many customs did the anchor just say?"

"I don't know...too much."

"I'm going, so many Dragon Boat Festival customs?! I haven't even heard of half of them!"

"I think the Dragon Boat Festival customs here are rich enough, I didn't expect the host to talk so much!"

"Yeah, no one will fall, anyway, all the event anchors in my hometown have said it..."

"Many customs that I have never heard of, how do you know so much, anchor?"

"Because the Li family is awesome!"

"What the hell, the anchor is absolutely amazing. You are also a human being. Why are you so good?"

"Facts have proved that when Nuwa created human beings, there was indeed a partiality..."

"I always thought that painting foreheads on our side was a very small Dragon Boat Festival custom, but I didn't expect the host to know about it! You are too powerful, Mr. Li!"

"Painting forehead? What kind of custom is this?"

"This custom sounds like a custom among girls."

"You guys are really wrong about this!"

"Painting? We also have it here!"

Li Yuan: "Painting foreheads is not a custom for girls to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Specifically...it should be for children."

"The so-called forehead painting is to smear realgar on the forehead of children during the Dragon Boat Festival to repel poisonous insects."

"The most typical method of forehead painting is to use realgar wine to draw the word 'king' on the forehead of a child. Its purpose is to use realgar to detoxify, and the second is to use the forehead pattern of the word 'king' on the tiger's head Play a role in suppressing evil."

Studio.

"That's right, that's the word king!"

"There is nothing wrong with what you said, it is indeed the meaning..."

"This custom sounds quite interesting."

"I really envy you, why don't we have so many customs and activities in Northeast China?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of the hottest one that the anchor mentioned just now, the 'dragon boat'..."

"No way? You don't even know about such a popular show?"

"You can't beat the dragon boat?"

"Don't doubt it, we really don't have such a custom in Northeast China."

"seriously?"

Perhaps for the authenticity of netizens' messages, Li Yuan also nodded in the live broadcast room at this time.
