Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 414, The Origin of Labor Day

Labor Day, on this day, most units and most people will give themselves a small holiday, including the villagers of Xiangtou Mountain Village, will give themselves a holiday, on this day, all the villagers will gather Let's dance the dragon and lion together, and celebrate this international event together.

Today, all the villagers, big and small, gathered together, all beaming, and all wearing special costumes, and the pilgrims around were also watching lively, not knowing what they were doing.

"Is there going to be a holiday today? Everyone is so lively." Han Xiang looked surprised. She didn't know that there was a holiday today.

Li Yun nodded and said with a smile.

"Today is a holiday for working people all over the world, May Day."

"What kind of holiday is Labor Day? Is there any festival in this world that I don't know about?" Bai Chen raised his brows and said, after thinking about it, it seems that he doesn't know that there is such a traditional Chinese festival.

"This Labor Day can be regarded as an imported holiday. It is not a local festival in China. It is a festival that was truly born in modern times." Li Yunke said: "This festival originated from the workers' strike in Chicago, USA in 1886. We fought for legal rights on that day, so this May [-]st is defined as International Labor Day, and we in China also celebrate this Labor Day to commemorate the liberated workers."

"Workers' legal rights? Do workers in your world still have legal rights?" Bai Chen said with a look of surprise, full of disbelief.

Li Yun looked at Bai Chen, and probably knew that this guy's knowledge probably stayed in the feudal era, and he had no concept of workers' liberation, and said: "At that time, in order to stimulate the rapid economic growth in the United States, workers were asked to work for 14 to 18 hours. The intensity of work reminds people of the former slavery system. In this context, in order to liberate this class oppression, American workers were organized to resist the capitalists at that time, and they did everything in demonstrations. In the end, with their unremitting efforts, the working hours were set at the statutory 8 hours, which is the four hours you mentioned. Of course, if someone is willing to spend more time working, there will be a method called [overtime work] Fee] rewards to them"

"This is Labor Day in this world, regardless of national borders, regardless of each other, the grand festival of all workers is also accepted by us in China." Li Yun smiled and looked at the dragon dance team in front of him and said: "Our Elephant Head Village The villagers are also, every year at this time, the dragon dance and lion dance parade in this village, and now the people here are the dragon dance team in the village."

On Labor Day, all men, women and children came to the mountains, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties, to the children in their infancy, all gathered together on this day, everyone looked very happy, looking at the Full of freshness.

Zhao Qiang came over to say hello, looked at the dragon dance team in front of him and said with a smile.

"Different from the usual Labor Day, the dragon dance and lion dance performances are all gathered on the mountain, and we have found people to carry it. By the way, Guanzhu Yun, are three people really enough? Such a big stone."

Zhao Qiang had some doubts about this. The big rock in front of him looked heavy, so it couldn't be lifted by three people.

"Three people can lift it up naturally. This stone seems to be hollow. It looks big, but it's not heavy." Li Yun said: "Actually, the main purpose is to hold the Labor Day dragon dance party on the mountain?"

"The dragon dance at Elephant Head Mountain." Zhao Qiang said with emotion, "I hope this dragon dance will not affect the incense of your Taoist temple."

Li Yun carried it on his hands, with a face that didn't care about the high level of incense money, so he wouldn't say that he wanted the dragon dance team and the people in the village to lighten Shi Gandang's weight, he said indifferently.

"Compared with the joy of everyone in the village, what is this little incense?"

Seeing Li Yun Dayi's awe-inspiring expression and spirit, he had no other emotions other than admiration, he just sighed and said, "Oh, as a young man, Master Yun seems to be able to see through everything, but I can't see through anything, really. It was such a failure."

At this, Li Yun just smiled without saying a word, and just continued talking.

"Live well and learn the truth from life."

At this time, the dragon dance team also started to wave their dragon heads. Everyone was ready. Beside the mountain road, passers-by were also staring at the dragon dance team from Xiangtou Mountain Village with fresh faces.

Contrary to what Zhao Qiang said, the dragon dance team did not affect the pilgrims too much, and many pilgrims and tourists saw that the dragon dance was very fresh, and they also began to stop and watch.

Said the leader of the dragon dance team, a dark-skinned farmer.

"Village Chief, it's time!"

"Well, it should be about the same time." Village Chief Yang, still wearing the plain gray singlet, came out and said, "There are still some people who haven't come, don't worry, don't worry."

After a commotion and waiting, most of the villagers came up and lined up in two rows beside the mountain road.

The person responsible for carrying Shi Gandang also came to the Taoist temple, and Xiao Hei was among them.

"I'm sorry, why are you everywhere?" Han Xiang greeted Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei rolled up his sleeves, brightened his muscles, and said, "Brother Yun's business is my business. Since Brother Yun needs help, I must come here. Besides, my muscles are among the best in the village. Don't look at them." When I was young, I thought I was a weak chicken, little sister Hanxiang."

After speaking, Xiao Hei came to Shi Gandang, wanting to try his own strength, he leaned on Shi Gandang with a bear hug, lucked his dantian, and held his breath.

motionless—

Even though Xiao Hei's face was blushing, Shi Gandang didn't move at all.

After a while of futile efforts, Xiao Hei collapsed on top of Shi Gandang.

"I and I bought such a heavy thing. The three of us can really lift it?"

"Three people can lift it naturally. If you don't believe me, when the other two arrive, the stone can be lifted." Li Yun said.

Xiao Hei pursed his lips in disbelief, it was really difficult to pick up this thing.
When the other two arrived, it meant that the dragon dance team was about to start. Shi Gandang would go down the mountain with the dragon dance and be engraved on Xiangtou Mountain.

When the dragon dance team came in, outside the window, there were birds singing in unison, surrounding the entrance of the Taoist temple.

"I call, 3.2.1, you carry it together." One of the middle-aged men said, Xiao Hei and another young man nodded.

"3.2.1!"

"rise!"

Shi Gandang was easily lifted up
