The people of the Song Dynasty are not called the Spring Festival, but the New Year. In the Song Dynasty, "Night's Dream" Winter has the name "First Moon": "The first month of the month, that is, the New Year, the common name is New Year. One year, this is the first. ” Chinese New Year always refers to the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar (Lunar calendar, lunar calendar). Only the Republic of China implements the solar calendar year, and January 1 of the solar calendar is the New Year.
In fact, the New Year of the Song Dynasty is a big holiday, in fact it is a golden month that combines the winter solstice, the spring holiday, the Yuan Dynasty, a folk day, a lantern festival and other holidays. The Spring Festival holiday is 7 days, and the Lantern Festival is 7 days off, plus one for almost half a year. There are many scenes at the Water Margin festival, most of which are descriptions of the lantern festival. For the first time, Liu Xiao filmed “Looking at Xiaoshan Mountain in Qingfeng City,” the second time the Yuanxiao Night of Liangshan Group attacked Da Mingfu and rescued Lu Junyi. Tokyo enjoys the light and seeks to gain. Thanks to these descriptions, we can feel that people from the Song Dynasty attach great importance to the Lantern Festival. Although the scene of the year is not written in the book, from the description of the Lantern Festival the New Year will be very grandiose.
In the Song Dynasty, it was common to use paper powder for making firecrackers, but it was not applied to the military field. A blaster appeared at the leeches. Hu Yanzhuo mentioned in Lin Zhen’s recommendation that “this man is good at creating artillery, it can take up to fourteen-five miles, Stone cannons fell, the sky collapsed, and mountains fell.” This may be a little exaggerated. The Song Dynasty did not have enough artillery. Artillery Ling Zhen’s units were just a group of craftsmen who shot bamboo. We can say that the technology of producing fireworks in the Song Dynasty is very mature. On New Year's Eve of the Song Dynasty, the sounds of fireworks are endless. The sound of fireworks in the deep walls The upper courtyard was transferred outside the palace. There are people in the alleys of the palace outside to fight for firecrackers. According to the report, the Song Dynasty has no more than 100 types of firecrackers that sound single, double and continuous. Among them, two exploding fireworks that took off to heaven, this is the prototype of Lin Zhen artillery.
Song people should drink wine tusu during the Chinese New Year. Tusu is the name of the herb, and this variety of wine cooked in the grass is called tusu. There are many words in the otter about drinking water that indicate that drinking in the Song Dynasty has become fashionable, especially on New Year's Day. It pays more attention to form and etiquette. For example, the New Year leaders of Songjiang in the Songjiang Army Camp in Xuan and destroyed Wang Qing for five years, and the class returned. New Year's banquet in Beijing and so on. “Water Margin” has more than 600 (times) drinks, describing the corresponding status of the wine industry, alcohol addiction, drinking etiquette, fashionable event, drinking equipment, ordering wine, wine brand, etc. In these environments and conditions. Descriptive, showing the features of the wine culture of that era, showing the reader the rich volume of wine cultureof the Song Dynasty.
The people of the Song Dynasty are inseparable from the "fires." The Tokyo Dreams Record says: “After the winter solstice before the old year, Kaifeng House chained a mountain barn, and the standing tree was facing the Xuanda Building. Tourists gathered under the two entrances of Imperial Street. ” This means that after the winter solstice, Kaifeng Prefecture began. Busy people built a colored mountain shelf in front of the Xuandé building in Yujie (a barn is a skeleton of a lantern mountain), and tourists gradually gathered on both sides of Imperial Street. This is because this year the festival lasts a long time, so how much is worth it. After the Lantern Festival "Golden Bibi, Jinxiu Jiaohui". There is also a temporary building, “Yang Sanmen,” the aforementioned large book, “Daguan and People with Music,” or “Xuanhe and People with Music,” a rich and peaceful scene.
In the otter, “lights” and the Lantern Festival were mentioned many times. Song Jiang, "the first month of the eleventh," went to Beijing to enjoy the lights and look for new recruits, and Kaifeng House was everywhere. "The people who came to brocade hats were crowded, and everyone had their own clothes." On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month, the lights culminated: “The lights are shackled in front of the house. The lights hang like fire, and the light shines like day. This is a fire on the stairs, and people with horses and horses are looking at people. ” On the upper side of the street, "spring breaks, drums soar, lights condense, and tourists look like ants."
