[Red Chamber] I became Lin Daiyu in my rebirth

Since Daiyu discussed with her sisters that night, she has stayed in the room every day, making cheongsams with Qingwen.

I don't know if it's because she likes it or Daiyu herself has such a talent. Daiyu's needlework is becoming more and more delicate, which makes Qingwen amazed again and again.

The days passed like this day by day, and soon, the twelfth day of the second lunar month is coming.

Speaking of which, Daiyu's birthday is really a coincidence.The twelfth day of the second lunar month is the Huachao Festival, also known as Baihua's birthday.

As early as a month ago, Mother Jia told Sister Feng that this time Daiyu's birthday will be a big one, because this time Daiyu's birthday happens to be 15 years old, Jiji's day.

Naturally, Sister Feng did not dare to neglect, she was already making preparations for February [-]th.

Originally, Lin Ruhai was planning to come from Yangzhou when she heard that Mother Jia was going to hold a funeral ceremony for Daiyu.But Aunt Jiang suddenly felt unwell, so she invited a doctor to take her pulse and said she was happy.

Lin Ruhai was very happy to have a son when he was old, and Daiyu was also very happy to hear the news.So he went back to Lin Ruhai and asked him to take good care of Aunt Jiang in Yangzhou. He had his mother, uncle, aunt and sisters in Rongguo Mansion to accompany him, so he didn't have to worry.Take good care of Aunt Jiang in Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai saw that Daiyu insisted, so she no longer insisted on coming to Beijing, and only said some words such as taking good care of herself.

Therefore, at the time of etiquette, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were the masters, and they were also Daiyu's parents.

Jia Zheng thought for a while about presiding over the praise ceremony of the ceremony, and decided to let Tanchun be in charge of it. Tanchun is always eloquent, so it would be best to let her take charge of the praise ceremony.The guest of honor, Jia Zheng, chose Daiyu's godmother, Aunt Xue, and Baochai was the one who praised her.

Yingchun volunteered to be a deporter, helping Mrs. Jia Zhengwang to arrange the venue and mats, and helping Aunt Xue wash.

February [-]th of the lunar calendar.Divination day.The wind is smooth and the sun is shining.

Daiyu's making ceremony was held in the family temple of Jia's family. Two days ago, Sister Feng ordered people to build a facility on the east side of the main hall.A room is surrounded by a curtain in the northeast of the hall.This "east room" is where Jiji changed clothes.

Early in the morning, Daiyu took a bath under the service of Zijuan, and put on the clothes and shoes. The pink clothes are light and bright, not only elegant, but also lively and lively that belong to girls.After dressing, he sat in the east room and waited.

At this time, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were both wearing dark clothes and standing on the east steps, waiting for the guests; Standing on the west side of the southern end of the site, they are arranged sequentially from west to east.

There were already customers waiting outside the venue.When the guest of honor arrives, the parents come forward to greet each other, bow to each other formally and then enter the arena. The guest of honor sits in the guest seat;

At this time, Qin Keqing reminded Daiyu with a song "The Man in the Mountains Comes Fang Duruo" that she should enter the venue.

Daiyu stood up and asked Zijuan again and again if her clothes and hair accessories were in order. Zijuan smiled and said, "Miss is really too nervous. I think it looks good. Don't worry."

Daiyu stuck out her tongue secretly, thinking, you, a person who lived in ancient times, think it’s nothing, but I, a modern person, have never participated in these ceremonies at all, so it’s no wonder I’m not nervous.

Daiyu walked slowly into a ready-made platform in the spacious family temple, because Sister Feng felt that the family temple was not spacious enough. After all, there were so many guests that day, and another reason was that the family temple was not enough. The hall is bright, so I suggested to Jia Mu to build a huge viewing platform here.

Daiyu stepped forward and saw a simple pear wood low table on it, with a glass of wine on it, a shallow plate with a symbolic layer of rice, and a pair of bamboo chopsticks.Three mats: one is placed on the east side of the field, and is used to place the three sets of clothes to be worn.The other two are placed side by side on the west side of the center of the field, with seat cushions placed on them.There is also a toilet, which is placed on the north side of the mat where the clothes are placed.There are also some incense burners and seat cushions for spectators.

At this time, the auditorium and the master's seat were full of people.

Seeing Daiyu coming up, Jia Zheng stood up with a solemn face: "Today, Zhengzhi's niece and niece are celebrating the coming of age. Zheng would like to thank all the guests and friends for coming! Next, the ceremony of the coming of age for the little girl Daiyu will officially begin. Daiyu waited for Jia Zheng to finish speaking, stepped forward, and bowed in all directions.

After Daiyu finished her salute, Baochai came out first, washed her hands, and took her seat on the west steps; Daiyu went to the middle of the field and sat on the seat facing west.Baochai combed Daiyu's hair and put the comb on the south side of the mat.

Then Aunt Xue got up first, and then Mrs. Jia Zhengwang got up to accompany her.Aunt Xue washed her hands under the east steps and dried them.After bowing to each other, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Jia Zhengwang returned to their seats and sat down.

At this time, Daiyu turned to sit in the east; the mandarin ducks offered Luopa and hairpins, and Aunt Xue walked up to Daiyu; she chanted her congratulations loudly and said: "It's an auspicious day for the moon, and you will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, and follow your wishes." Cheng De. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

Then he knelt down and combed Daiyu's hair, then got up and returned to his original position.

Baochai is the symbolic upright hairpin of Daiyu.

Daiyu stood up, and all the guests bowed to Daiyu to congratulate her.

When Daiyu returned to the east room, Baochai took the clothes from the mandarin ducks and went into the room to change into the plain clothes and skirts that matched the hairpin on her head.The light-colored and elegant skirt symbolizes the innocence of a cardamom girl.While changing Daiyu's clothes, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect time to pass so fast, my sister has reached Jiji's age now."

Daiyu nodded, "Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly quickly. Sister, we have known each other for several years."

Baochai couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes, "Yes, it's all over now, let's go out quickly."

Daiyu nodded, then walked out slowly.

After Daiyu left the room wearing a skirt, she showed it to the guests.Then face Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and perform regular salutes.This is the first time to worship, to express my gratitude to my parents for their upbringing.

Daiyu sat facing the east; Aunt Xue washed her hands again and reset her again; Qingwen offered the hairpin, Aunt Xue took it, went to Daiyu, and chanted her congratulations loudly: . Respect Erweiyi, Shushende. My eyebrows live forever, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu."

Baochai went to hairpin again for Daiyu.Aunt Xue put hairpins on Dai Yu's hairpin, and got up to reset herself.Aunt Xue's face was full of solemnity, and she looked at Daiyu with love and excitement.

Daiyu smiled at Aunt Xue, then turned and went back to the east room. Baochai helped her with clothes, and went to the room to change into the dark clothes that matched the hairpin on her head.

Daiyu then came out in dark clothes to show the guests.

Then face the guest of honor and perform regular salutes.This is the second worship.This time it is to show respect to the teachers and seniors.

Daiyu sat facing the east; Aunt Xue washed her hands again and reset her again; Qianxue presented the hairpin crown, Aunt Xue took it, and walked to Daiyu; , served in Xianjiaer. Brothers are present, so that they can become Juede. Yellow scorpion has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by heaven."

Baochai goes to hairpin for Daiyu.

Aunt Xue added a hairpin crown to Daiyu, then stood up and reset.Baochai helps the hairpin to crown the crown.

Daiyu returned to the east room, and Baochai helped her with clothes, and went to the room to change into a dress with large sleeves and long sleeves that matched the hairpin crown on her head. She was graceful and elegant.

There are poems as proof: what does the dazzling silk look like, not like Luoxiao and Qiqi.It should be like the 45-foot waterfall spring on Tiantai Mountain before the moonlight.There are articles in it that are amazing, and the ground is covered with white fireworks and clusters of snow.Who is the weaver and who is the one who wears the clothes?In the middle of last year, the envoy proclaimed the imperial decree, taking samples from the sky to weave in the human world.Woven into the autumn geese outside the cloud, dyed into the color of spring water in the south of the Yangtze River.Widely cut shirt with long sleeves and long skirt, gold iron wave knife cut pattern.

After Daiyu left the room wearing a long-sleeved dress and hairpin crown, she showed it to the guests.Then face the Yellow Emperor, perform regular salutes, and pray for the third time.Represents the passing of the torch.

Next is to put sweet wine.Yousi withdrew the display of Jili, and set up a feast of wine and wine on the west steps.Aunt Xue bowed and invited Daiyu to the table.Daiyu then stood on the west side of the mat, facing south.

Aunt Xue turned to the west, Baochai served the wine, and Daiyu turned north. Aunt Xue took the wine, walked to Daiyu's banquet, faced Daiyu, and read the congratulatory speech, saying: "Sweet and sweet wine are thick, and I recommend Lingfang. Bye Sacrifice it to determine Erxiang. The rest of the heaven will not be forgotten in the test of life." Daiyu saluted and took the wine.Aunt Xue paid her respects.Daiyu entered the table, knelt down and sprinkled some wine on the ground as sacrificial wine.Then he took the wine to touch his lips symbolically, and then put the wine on the table, and a servant served the rice, and Daiyu took it and ate a little symbolically.Daiyu bowed, and Aunt Xue replied.Daiyu got up and left the table, and stood on the east side of the west steps, facing south.

Next is the character Ji, that is, the "word" for the Ji.Aunt Xue got up and came down to face east.Mrs. Jia Zhengwang stood up and faced west.Aunt Xue took the characters for Ji Zhe, and read the congratulatory words: "Etiquette is prepared, and the moon is auspicious, and I will tell you the characters. The word Kongjia is suitable for fashionable scholars. It is suitable for fakes and will be protected forever. It is called Daiyufu " Daiyu replied: "Although Daiyu is not sensitive, I dare not stay up all night to serve you." Daiyu bowed to the guest, and Aunt Xue returned the salute.Aunt Xue reset.

Next is the training.Daiyu knelt in front of Mrs. Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng taught her.After listening quietly, Daiyu replied: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not only accept it!".Pay homage to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang.

The next thing is to thank the Ji Zhe.Daiyu bowed to all the participants present to express her gratitude.At this time, Daiyu was already dizzy, although Aunt Xue had explained to her many times the steps of this ritual, but after so many steps, she had never touched it before, so it is strange not to be dizzy.

Finally arrived at the last step.Daiyu stood side by side with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and they all stood up.At this time, Jia Zheng announced to all the participants: The ceremony of the little girl Daiyu has been completed, thank you all the guests and guests for your kind participation!And he and Daiyu bowed to the audience to express their gratitude...

After the ceremony was completed, all the guests in the auditorium stood up and applauded.

For a while, Daiyu looked at Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Baochai and others around her, as well as the crowd applauding in the auditorium. Everyone had gentle smiles on their faces. In such an environment, Daiyu Yu couldn't help but her eyes were red.

Just when I was moved, I heard a cold voice passing through the walls of people: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

The author has something to say: The ancient women's coming-of-age ceremony was called: Ji ceremony. [Jiji pronunciation: jíjī is also known as "Jiji". 】

It is a kind of ancient ceremony.It is a coming-of-age ceremony for Han women.Commonly known as "shangtou" and "shangtou ceremony".

In ancient times, when girls reached the age of 15, they tied their hair with a hairpin, because it was called a hairpin when a girl reached the age of 15.It also refers to the age of marriage, such as "the age has reached the age".

Ji: A hairpin for binding hair.In ancient times, when a woman was betrothed at the age of 15, she tied her hair and wore a hairpin; if she had never been married, she tied her hair and wore a hairpin when she was 20 years old at the latest

The words come out of "Book of Rites? Nei Ze", "Women...have to be born in ten to five years".

"笄" means to tie hair and use it to run through it. Zheng Xuan's note: "It means the person who is promised to marry at the age. A woman is allowed to marry, and the word is written. If she is not allowed to marry, she will be married at twenty."

Ji, hairpin.Later, it was said that a woman who had reached the age of fifteen was Jiji.Indicates that it has reached the age of marriage.

When a woman is allowed to marry, she will drink it and drink it, which is called a word. —— "Rituals? Shihunli"

"Old Tang Book? Passed down by Empress? Female Bachelor Shanggong Songshi": "﹝Tingfen﹞ gave birth to five daughters, all of whom were intelligent...before they reached the age of hairpin, they all belonged to literature."

The tenth chapter of "The Scholars": "Mr. Lu has a daughter-in-law who is as old as Ji."

Qing Hebang's "Night Tan Suilu? Wu Zhe": "The girl is just as young as she is, and she has a complexion."

Salute age: According to "Zhou Li" and ancient customs, it is usually held at the age of 15. If you have been waiting to marry and have no one, you can also perform the ceremony at the age of [-].

Shouji means to change the hair style of childhood during the Jiji ceremony, twist the hair into a bun, then wrap the bun with a piece of black cloth, and then insert the hairpin into the bun.

The head of the ceremony is the female head of the family, and the invited female guest is the girl's Jiaji, which means that the woman can marry when she is an adult.After aristocratic women are baptized, they generally have to receive adult education in the palace or the clan, and are taught "women's morality, appearance, merit, and words" as a daughter-in-law must have in dealing with others and serving her uncles. This ode to labor and other skills.In later generations, the girl's mother applied for the precepts and taught them the etiquette, which is called "teaching tea".When a girl is 15 years old, she is called "Jiji". "Rituals. Scholars' Wedding": "Women marry when they are married, and they are polite, and they are called characters."

The salute date is usually March 2000rd of the lunar calendar - Daughter's Day (Shangsi Festival), which is a Chinese festival that originated more than [-] years ago and is currently spread in Japan and South Korea. "Doll's Day" is one of the five major festivals in Japan.
