City Start Striving for Becoming a Rich Man

Chapter 905

The ninety-nine picture of dispelling cold, the customs of the country.

From the day of the winter solstice onwards, there is a custom of painting the nine-nine cold-eliminating map in the folks at the winter solstice. The cold-eliminating map is a “calendar” that records the cloudy and sunny weather after entering the nine. , Is a very traditional and beautiful calendar.

It has a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one units, so it is called the “Nine-Nine Chilling Diagram”. Counting from the day of the winter solstice, with nine days as a unit, nine consecutive nine days, to ninety-nine, a total of eighty-one days, winter has passed.

In ancient times, working people, especially in the northern regions, had poorer conditions to keep warm from the cold than their descendants. The cold winter was regarded as a threat and punishment, and the fear of the cold and the earth directly affected the mood of the people, and even felt that the winter was inexplicably long.

In order to survive the long winter, people invented a number of recreational methods to pass the time to alleviate the psychological crisis under the threat of the cold winter.

At that time, the number nine surrounded by family members was also regarded as the realm of happiness.

The nine-nine cold-eliminating picture, this kind of picture, or painting, is not new at all. The large families in the ancient north were looking for someone to paint every year. Poor families will also get a pair in a few years.

The existence is very large, and it is generally the works of ordinary painters.

However, the picture Ni Shixiao was looking at was slightly different. The poem on the left side of the painting was “Miscellaneous Poems of Luanjing” by Yang Yunfu of the Yuan Dynasty. The content of the poem is: “Try to count the nine or nine pictures in the window, and the remaining cold will disappear and warm up to the beginning. The plum blossom dot Tao slaps you to see that it is an apricot tree at present.”

These four poems gave Ni Shixiao a different feeling.

The person who wrote the poems did it in one go, using the pen very delicately, and a kind of free and easy spirit was infused in these words.

It also made Ni Shixiao see a sense of failure, not material failure, but spiritual failure.

After reading it for a long time, Ni Shixiao realized that this character seemed to be written by someone, it should be Tang Yin’s handwriting. According to legend, Tang Bohu painted many unsigned paintings.

The word Ni Shixiao is definitely from Tang Bohu’s handwriting, but this painting, Ni Shixiao cannot be sure, this is obviously not Tang Bohu’s usual painting method. There is a bit of Zhao Meng’s taste in the Yuan Dynasty.

Poems are from the Yuan Dynasty, and paintings are from the Yuan Dynasty. Is this a joke made by Tang Bohu?

This painting is very concise, except for the verse on the left, the most prominent feature in the whole painting is the nine plum blossoms.

Since it is the ninety-nine cold relief picture, the plum blossom must be highlighted, but there are mountains, trees, and water in this painting, which is a standard ink landscape painting.

This painting looks simple, but there are everything that should be there, mountains and rocks stacked with green, mountains and trees hidden, trees hidden in the mountains, hidden in the mountains, so that the focus of the entire flower is concentrated among the nine plum blossoms.

At a glance, the center point of this painting must be the plum blossom in the painting; but the mountains above are not only embellished, the mountains in the painting are majestic and steep. But the pen and ink are very delicate, the layout is sloppy, and the style is beautiful and handsome.

The layout is very rigorous, and the painting method is quite neat!

This anti-cold picture has completely deviated from the scope of the ordinary anti-cold picture. The most common type of the nine-nine anti-cold picture is a double-hook tracing red calligraphy “Weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherish the spring breeze, and the fragrant maple in the forest waits for the autumn red.”, There are nine strokes in each of the nine characters, a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one strokes.

From the winter solstice, fill in one stroke every day in the order of strokes, and fill in one word every 19th.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It wasn’t until the spring came back to the earth after the ninety-nine, that a nine-nine-nine relief picture was considered a success, also called writing nine.

Generally speaking, “Such Nine Songs” should also be written on the side of the Jiu Jiu Chilling Diagram.

For example: January 9th and February 9th don’t shoot; March 9th, 4th 9th, walk on the ice; 5th, 6th, 9th, look at the willows by the river; Qijiu river opens, eight nine geese come; ninety-nine plus one-nine, cattle walk everywhere.

In addition to the text version of the chilling diagram, there is also a graphic representation of the ninety-nine chilling diagram.

Divide the rice paper into nine grids, and print nine circles on each grid with a pen cap dipped in ink. Fill in one circle every day. The filling method should be determined according to the changes in the weather.

Paint on the top and overcast on the bottom, and in the middle of the rain and snow, this graphic version of the nine-nine cold-eliminating diagram is simple and easy to use.

But the graphic version is not as pretty as the text version!

Some people who are particularly particular about it will use pictures to draw the nine-nine relief picture, which is also called “painting nine.”

This plum blossom picture was obtained according to the custom of painting nine, so each of the ninety-nine-nine-eighty-one plum blossoms above is different.

According to changes in the weather, Tang Bohu has slightly different shades of each plum.

But it is a pity that there is no style or mark on this painting. Without these two proofs of the author’s identity, the value of this painting would be greatly reduced.

Simply put, it’s ridiculous.

If you say this is Tang Bohu’s words, what about the evidence, if you want to say that you see Tang Bohu’s charm, people will say that you have eye problems. People will also say, I think there is the charm of my grandson.

So this painting is very difficult to get rid of, unless you find a collector who has researched Tang Bohu and especially likes Tang Bohu’s paintings. That’s the person who sells goods and knows the goods!

“Boss, how do you sell this cold relief picture?”

The stall owner gave Ni Shixiao a sideways glance, and said casually: “100 take away.”

“It’s not worth it, up to 20. Since I can call out a cold relief picture, I must know how to do it. This painting is worth the price.”

“20, I would rather use it to cushion the bottom of the table, 80, if you want love, just leave.”

“50, just bring 50 yuan!”

“You look pretty decent, how can you be a poor man. If you forget 50, then 50, give it to you.”

“Okay, the boss will give you money.” Ni Shixiao reached into his pocket and took out a 100 card and handed it to the stall owner.

“It’s not true, didn’t it mean that there is only 50, is this 50?” The stall owner said, shaking the banknotes.

Ni Shixiao smiled awkwardly: “Boss, don’t you know, my wife is strict. Only 50 of this money belongs to me, and the remaining 50 is for grocery shopping. For this 50, I have to spend a month.”

The stall owner looked at Ni Shixiao, his eyes started to flush, and he took Ni Shixiao’s hand and cried out, “Brother, I finally found the organization. You are worse than me. My wife gives 300 allowances a month.” .”

“Fortunately, I can secretly hide some private money every day. Brother, eldest brother is 5 yuan cheaper for you. Seeing that you are also a smoker, you can go to the door to buy a bag of white sand smoke for 5 yuan.” The stall owner handed Ni Shixiao a 50 Yes, take a piece of 5 yuan.

“Big brother, thank you! I save this pack of cigarettes and can smoke for half a month.”

“Brother, it’s not easy…”

“Brother, then I’m leaving first. I have to go shopping for a while and rush to buy groceries. Otherwise, I have to kneel on the washboard when I go back.”

“Hey…slowly go!”

“I said grate, you are actually willing to make 5 yuan cheaper. It’s rare.”

When Ni Shixiao walked away, the stall owner next door shouted to the stall owner.

The stall owner was called “grate” because his teeth were tight and his hands were tight, and his aisle hands must have dried up with oil and water.

“I have pity for the same sickness. I can give them 5 yuan to let them have a cigarette. Compared with others, I think my daughter-in-law is still quite good…”

Ni Shixiao’s desire to perform is so strong, he must practice his acting skills if he catches the opportunity! .
