Entertainment: My band is all lead singer
Chapter 472
"Dad, who do you think this is?" Du Yuankang brought Jiang Yuebai and others to his father Du Xuan.
"You are... Jiang Yuebai?" Although Du Xuan is already in his seventies today, he is in good spirits and very strong.
"It's me, I wish you good fortune and longevity, and may you have this day and this year every year." Jiang Yuebai didn't expect that Du Yuankang's father Du Xuan knew him, which was really unexpected.
"Hahaha..."
Then Jiang Yuebai chatted with Du Xuan for a while. Du Xuan was very happy about his arrival.
At first, they were going to let him sit at the main table. After all, in their hearts, Jiang Yuebai and Mo Bai deserved their respect.
In this regard, Jiang Yuebai refused. They were just passing by, and it was embarrassing to be able to eat a meal.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of people in their village." After sitting down, Long Zhan looked around. In such a short time, more than 20 tables were already full of guests.
"Of course, it has been passed down for more than 1,700 years, and it can be regarded as the top family in the country." Being able to stand for a thousand years and still remain firm in belief and guard the tomb of Wu Hou, this is the excellent virtue of China.
"Who are you waiting for? It seems that no one is sitting at the main table." At this time, Su Ying'er noticed that the tables outside were full of people, but no one was eating.
The tables inside were not even occupied, as if they were waiting for someone.
As she was talking, a girl came in from the door.
She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, about the age of high school students.
As soon as she came, the elders in the courtyard greeted her.
The two bowed to show respect.
At this moment, all the guests looked at the girl.
The girl smiled shyly at everyone, and then walked into the courtyard.
When she walked to the inner table, she bowed to the other elders one by one, and then walked to the main table and sat down.
When she sat down, others followed suit.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai could probably guess what was going on.
"I didn't expect so many people to be waiting for a little girl." Long Zhan was a little surprised.
"She should be the oldest person in the family. It would be difficult to start the banquet if she didn't come. If she came, she had to sit in the main hall. No one dared to sit if she didn't take a seat." Jiang Yuebai guessed it immediately.
From the discussions at other tables, Jiang Yuebai and others also learned that this was because the girl was still in school and had just finished school, so she was late.
In addition, they also heard a lot that this girl was actually the great-grandmother of many people.
The generation is simply too big.
"Great-grandmother!?"
"Such a young great-grandmother?"
"She became a great-grandmother in her teens."
"I just heard that it seemed that her parents couldn't come because of something, so she took their place."
"I didn't expect there is such a custom here. I see that many places on the Internet still have a situation where men are superior to women. Let alone taking a seat, it's hard to sit at the main table." Long Zhan was moved.
"That's true." Su Ying'er agreed. She had seen it herself.
"In fact, many of the words left by our ancestors are misinterpreted." Jiang Yuebai explained.
"Men are superior to women, which does not mean that men are noble and women are inferior, but that men should respect themselves and women should be humble."
"The ancients said: Not cutting hair in the first month of the year is because of nostalgia, but now it is understood that cutting hair in the first month of the year will kill your uncle."
"So, in fact, these meanings are all good, but they are misinterpreted by later generations and taken out of context, so they are not the original meanings?" Wen Xilan asked.
Jiang Yuebai nodded: "Yes, for example, we often hear that women without talent are virtuous. Usually people think that women without talent are virtues. In fact, this sentence means that women without talent are virtuous."
"It means that if a woman has no talent, but can distinguish right from wrong, it is also a rare virtue."
"So that's it!"
"Oh~ there is such a saying."
Several people suddenly realized.
"In fact, there are many such cases. For example, in ancient times, wives were called 'jiannei'. This does not refer to his humble wife. In fact, it is a self-deprecating statement."
"It means the wife of a humble man like me. Similarly, a wife who is willing to share hardships and eat the chaff together."
"There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the greatest one is not having children. It does not mean that not having children is unfilial, but that not fulfilling the responsibilities of the younger generation is unfilial."
"After hearing this, I suddenly felt that I had read books for so many years in vain." Long Zhan sighed.
The others nodded in agreement.
If Jiang Yuebai hadn't said this, they would never know.
In their hearts, it was really as Jiang Yuebai said, all of which were misinterpreted impressions.
"This is just a drop in the bucket of Chinese traditional culture, and the same is true for the generation culture. Traditions cannot be lost, and generations cannot be messed up."Before the banquet started, Du Yuankang introduced Jiang Yuebai and others to everyone.
When they learned that Jiang Yuebai had written more than 20 couplets for the Wuhou Temple, everyone's faces were full of gratitude.
Their clan was called the tomb keepers in the past.
They were Zhuge Liang's subordinates or slaves thousands of years ago, and their admiration and respect for Zhuge Liang were innate.
Jiang Yuebai and others waved to greet everyone, and the banquet officially began.
From Du Yuankang's introduction just now, Jiang Yuebai and others knew why there were so many people.
It turned out that Du Yuankang's father Du Xuan was the patriarch of the Du family. He was not only of high generation but also of high reputation in the clan.
If a person like him celebrated his 70th birthday, the villagers would definitely come.
It was still noon, and if it was in the evening, there would be more people.
The birthday banquet was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
During the banquet, people kept coming forward to pay their respects and toast.
Jiang Yuebai and the others wanted to give something, but they didn't bring anything this time, so there was nothing to show.
You can't just scan the code and give money.
Just when everyone was worrying about what to give, Jiang Yuebai saw the pen and paper on the table next to him, and instantly had an idea.
This is the pen and paper used by the host to register the guest list, and it's just right to borrow it at this time.
Jiang Yuebai stood up and walked to the table, and Long Zhan stepped forward to spread the paper.
Du Yuankang took a look and walked over immediately. He had already guessed it in his heart.
The other guests were no less curious than Du Yuankang.
Jiang Yuebai wrote down fourteen words like flowing clouds and water.
"Ninety thousand rocs can spread their wings, and eight thousand years of life coincide with spring."
Du Yuankang has been standing beside Jiang Yuebai. Seeing the complete sentence, he was very happy.
This sentence is so well said.
It is both poetic and profound, and it represents longevity and health, and it is the spring of life.
"I was in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts, so I can only use this calligraphy to express my gratitude."
Du Yuankang took the calligraphy from Jiang Yuebai, brought it to his father Du Xuan, and then showed it to everyone to appreciate.
Everyone sighed!
