Village live broadcast: Angrily rubbing giant pandas at the beginning!

Chapter 213 Zhongyuan Festival

There was no way, Lin Yang finally went to eat some fruit to satisfy his hunger.

At noon, the major activities of the Hungry Ghost Festival in Shushan Village began.

That is the ancestor of the priest, who used to be assisted by Lin Yang and his father.

At this time, Zhang Jiaxu also came to join in the fun: "Shanzhu, why do you have so many rules in worshiping your ancestors?"

"I find it complicated just looking at it now, don't you think it's troublesome?"

Lin Yang said calmly: "What's the trouble? Today, the ancestors of the mountain village will return to Shushan Village to see the descendants. As the descendants, we are naturally well-prepared."

"Furthermore, the method of offering sacrifices to ancestors in Shushan Village is also different from that outside. Outside, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, paper money and ingots are burned."

Zhang Jiaxu did not expect that such a small Hungry Ghost Festival would have so many rules and regulations.

But then I saw Lin Yang put a handful of ears of wheat on a piece of paper, and then wrapped the paper into a crane shape.

Then put it in front of his own door, and prayed again.

This made him slightly stunned.

"Shanzhu, what do you mean?"

Lin Yang smiled slightly and explained: "This is the custom in our Shushan Village, wrapping paper into the appearance of various animals with auspicious meanings such as cranes."

"Then put it in front of your own door and let the wind blow away the wheat ears, which means that the ancestors have accepted the offerings from the younger generations."

"According to what the seniors said, it means that because the ancestors experienced the famine back then, many of them starved to death."

Thinking of this, Lin Yang prayed for a while, how happy he is to grow up in an age without famine.

You must know that these ancestors did not have enough to eat when they were alive, at least future generations should offer them some food.

As for why it is folded into the shape of an animal, it is because the ancestors rode the animal and walked slowly.

Therefore, at this time, every household in Shushan Village put wheat ear bags in front of their doors.

Because of the Hungry Ghost Festival, there will be strong winds blowing in Shushan Village from time to time.

Soon, a strong wind blew up.

"Lord of the mountain, is this a manifestation of a fairy?"

Lin Yang waved his hand and nodded, but then said: "This is actually related to the geographical location of Shushan Village. The wheat ear bags in front of the villagers' gates can easily be blown away."

"Of course there is more than one ear of wheat. Those ancestors who have no descendants, of course, we Shushan Village will not forget them."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiaxu also acted like a cat, but he just didn't know if his father would slap him when he saw him doing this!

On this day, every household will pack one or two more bags of wheat ears, and then put them in the center of the village, so that those ancestors who have no descendants can also have a full meal.

Of course, as a modern youth, Lin Yang naturally does not believe in any legends that the ancestors will return.

These customs are just one of the ways for the villagers to mourn their ancestors and have no other meaning.

Although Lin Yang didn't believe it, as a member of Shushan Village, he also bagged a lot of ears of wheat.

The barbecued pork next to Lin Yang was also wrapped in a bag.

Seeing that the char siu pork was actually wrapped in a panda shape, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The ancestors of the char siu pork can also accept the Tao."

"Hey!"

Barbecued pork also responded.

Lin Yang smiled; "But your ancestors should not be within the scope of Shushan Village."

Char Siew Pork nodded with a vague understanding.

Then Lin Yang and Char Siu Rou put the wrapped wheat ear buns in front of the door.

As soon as he put it down, there was a gust of wind, and Lin Yang wrapped the paper crane and the panda wrapped in barbecued pork.

It was blown so high that it was out of sight of one person and one panda.

At this time, the commemoration of ancestors by the people in Shushan Village is also over.

Although Shushan Village is isolated from the outside world, there are lively activities during the festival.

In the evening, it is the activity that everyone has, releasing sky lanterns and river lanterns.

Night falls.

On this day, the moon at night was particularly round, and the scenery in Shushan Village was also very beautiful.

Look up to see the Milky Way band twinkling in the night sky.

"This is too beautiful."

Tang Qingyuan looked at the stars shining brightly, and the surroundings were full of fireflies.

Such a scene can be said to be rare in Shushan Village, and it only happened to appear on the day of the Ghost Festival.

Lin Yang walked to the big lake in Shushan Village, and the villagers in Shushan Village had already arrived at this time.

Every family puts the river lanterns they have made into the lake, lights the wicks, and lets them float away with the water waves.

The fans in the live broadcast room were envious when they saw this scene.

"I also want to be a river lantern, Lord Shan, can you teach us?"

Lin Yang smiled slightly, and then explained.

"The river lanterns in Shushan Village are very different from those outside. Most of the river lanterns used outside are paper river lanterns with candles."

"And the river lanterns used in our Shushan Village are real lotus flowers. Because lotus flowers can't bear the weight of candles, the wicks are replaced with plant ropes soaked in oil. The production process is as simple as that."

The fans in the live broadcast room nodded half-understanding.

Lin Yang glanced at the river lantern. This is the traditional culture of Shushan Village, and it is full of meaning.

"This kind of river lantern not only has very bright candlelight, but also has a very high artistic conception. The lotus flowers and wicks burned in the end will also become food for the fish in the lake."

"There is also Yi Yu who will have more than enough for the coming year."

Lin Yang looked at the scenery in front of him, although he grew up in Shushan Village.

But no matter how long it has passed, this kind of scenery can still deeply attract his attention.

The lake reflects the candlelight, and the starlight and moonlight in the sky seem to cast a white veil on the lake.

This scenery and the lights in Shushan Village complement each other, as if this is the legendary peach blossom garden.

Even the char siu pork went to put a lantern.

But in Shushan Village, there is a particular point about setting off sky lanterns.

The sky lantern must be released on the island in the middle of the lake in Shushan Village.

Because in the history of Shushan Village, there were not only famines, but also bandits.

At that time, the villagers fled collectively to the island in the middle of the lake after the bandits came to Shushan Village, and the bandits would not go to the island in the lake of Shushan Village without incident.

After the bandits leave, the villagers will put up big sky lanterns to tell the villagers on the lake that the bandits have left, and also use this method to report to the villagers that they are safe.

Moreover, this sky lantern is even bigger, and it is said that the bigger it is, the more it will have the effect of praying for blessings.

However, Lin Yang did not go to the middle of the lake at this time, because that was the life of the older generation.

From the lakeside, you can see the huge sky lantern rising in the middle of the lake, but you can only see the size of a palm by the lakeside.

However, that's because the lake island is still a certain distance from the lake. If you really look at it up close, the sky lantern is probably a small hot air balloon.
