Chapter 26 The Dragon Boat Festival and dragon boat racing are the best match

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the 22nd year of Mingguang, the annual Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

The Dragon Boat Festival in the Wei Dynasty is similar to that in our world. It also commemorates a wise minister named "Qu Yuan", but the customs are more detailed and the festival atmosphere is more enthusiastic.

During the Dragon Boat Festival every year, there are several folk customs that are essential in the Wei Dynasty:

[-]. Dragon boat racing, a standard part of the Dragon Boat Festival.

[-]. Corned millet, also known as rice dumplings, is also called "cornered millet" or "tube rice dumpling". Its shape has been around for a long time and comes in many varieties.

[-]. Make a knot and weave a "longevity thread".Threads are made of green, red, yellow, white, black and other colorful silk threads. Some more sophisticated people make them into the shapes of the sun, moon, stars, birds and beasts, with embroidery and gold threads on them, which is called "longevity thread", or It is called "life-extending thread", "five-color thread", "Zhu Suo" and other names.Nowadays, some people wear the longevity thread on their chests, and some tie it on their arms. Firstly, they pray to avoid military disasters and prolong life; secondly, they can show women's achievements in raising silkworms and reeling silk.Not only that, nowadays there are also people who give these things to each other as tokens of love and throw fruit into the car.

[-]. Hang Aihu.Wei people were good at witchcraft and believed that moxa could drive away plague and evil spirits. On May [-]th, moxa was made into human or tiger shapes and hung on the door. Some people also cut ribbons to make tigers and stuck moxa leaves on them to wear with them. They were all called "moxa tiger". There are poems It goes like this: "The family has had AI for three years, but the doctor doesn't want to come."

[-]. Drink calamus wine.Calamus is warm in nature and pungent in taste. It can stimulate the mind and relieve phlegm and dampness. It has good curative effect in treating lung and stomach diseases caused by wind and cold. It is suitable for people in the bitter summer to drink.

[-]. Apply realgar to the mouth and nose.During the Dragon Boat Festival, people use realgar wine mixed with Angelica dahurica, lavender and other spices, thinking that this can avoid insect poison. If there are children in the family, the elders will use realgar wine mixed with cinnabar on the eyebrows. A red mole looks like a good-luck boy under the Guanyin Seat from a distance, which is very pleasing. Adult men will apply realgar wine on their forehead, ears, hands, feet and other parts to sterilize, prevent diseases and repel insects, because it looks like this It is very wild and powerful, and is also believed to be used to drive away demons and snake venom.In fact, according to modern medicine, adding realgar to white wine or homemade yellow rice wine does have antibacterial, anthelmintic, and detoxifying effects. However, this is actually very unhygienic. It is slightly toxic if consumed directly into the abdomen, and can easily cause diarrhea.Fortunately, people in ancient times were not stupid. After discovering that drinking realgar wine directly would cause physical discomfort, few people used it to brew it directly.

Yesterday, Wei Hao was welcomed all the way back to his East Palace by his father and courtiers from the Jingyun Wharf. Today, early in the morning, Wei Hao was led by his father to the moat on the outskirts of Beijing to be a mascot.Prince Wei Hao, who was about to rise at Yinshi, said that he accepted it well, "Father, the most important thing is that you are happy, and that my children and ministers are not tired!"

Yes, the little prince, who was originally extremely dependent on his father, became even more admirable after traveling a lot and seeing the great country under his father's governance, and he has become a "daddy control".

The dragon boat race takes place on the moat of the Wei Dynasty. The Ministry of Industry repairs the dragon boat stands by the river every year for the common people and dignitaries to enjoy the dragon boats.The grandstand is actually about twenty floors of wide steps, and the last three floors are shaped like verandas, separated into small rooms by bamboo curtains for the female family members of higher status to rest.

Emperor Mingguang's seat is naturally at the highest point with the best view. The grandstand is actually a waterfront palace.Although the Linshui Palace is not larger than the palace, it is small and well-equipped with all the internal organs. It not only has a majestic and spacious imperial stand, which is convenient for the emperor to recruit dignified ministers to have fun with him, which is also a kind of favor; in addition, there are side halls and several other places. The wing room was used for emperors and ministers to rest.

By the way, Emperor Mingguang and his son had just rested in the side hall and were waiting for the time to announce the opening.Originally, Emperor Mingguang was still a little sleepy. He was worried that his son had just returned from a long journey and that he would be unable to bear the burden of being a mascot, so he ordered his eunuchs to prepare some meat to replenish the child's strength.Wei Hao quickly patted his chest and said that the most important thing was that his father was happy and that he was not tired.Hearing this, he smiled and asked the rest to leave. He turned around and began to rub his son's hair until his bun was messed up. However, the more he rubbed, the more addicted he became. He couldn't help but hold his son's armpits and began to lift them high and spin them in circles. lock up!The father and son laughed heartily and continued for a while before stopping.Ten-year-old Wei Hao was a little shy and said to his biological father seriously: "Father, my son is already an adult. You can no longer hold me and lift me high. People will laugh at my age! "

"Okay, okay, Daddy Hao'er is right. When Hao'er grows up, Daddy will definitely find a place where no one is around when he lifts you up! Hehe..." As he said this, he rubbed his hair at the tip of his heart again.

Wei Hao nodded inwardly, the baby is very happy, but the baby cannot be discovered by my father, (*n_n*).
