The day's filming was finally over, Bai Yan drove Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi off, and on the way he said, "Jiaojiao, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter, Uncle?"

"The president of the traditional culture found me today and talked to me. I hope you can add a few songs to this promotional video. It's best to match our content. What do you think?"

"When will they want it?"

"We finished shooting the short film during November, and then they have to edit it later. It is estimated that the promotional film will be ready in early November. The president hopes that we will give him the recorded music around that time."

"En, yes. I will prepare." Jiang Jiao remembered the song that he thought of when Xu Yi took the oath at the coming-of-age ceremony that day, so he readily agreed.

Looking at the 4 o'clock displayed by the alarm clock, Jiang Jiao got up, thinking that he would wake up at this time for the past few days, and he hadn't had breakfast with his parents for several days.But according to the director, after today's filming, we can go back to normal time.In the process of thinking, Jiang Jiao had already put on his clothes, washed and left the house.Standing opposite, Xu Yi walked up, took Jiang Jiao's bag, handed over the breakfast he had prepared, and took her hand to go downstairs.

Bai Yan had been waiting for a while, watching the two people who came down, opened the car door, let them get in the car, and drove towards the photography base.

Waiting for the two of them to get dressed and put on makeup, it was only 5 o'clock, which coincided with the time of morning and evening. Xu Yi first took a few shots of the wedding banquet, seeing off guests, and bridal chamber.Then the play of the two began.The make-up artist changed Jiang Jiao into a woman's hair, and Jiang Jiao, who was reading the script, saw that the script reads:

In the early morning, the bride visits her parents-in-law in the early morning of the second day of the wedding.After the bride takes a bath, she is led by the praiser to meet her in-laws.Holding the bamboo plate containing dates and chestnuts in both hands, the bride walked to the seat of the father-in-law, bowed to the east, then took a step forward, knelt down, and placed the bamboo plate on the seat. The father-in-law stroked it with his hands , Stand up and pray, the bride salutes again, and then goes down the hall, takes the bamboo plate containing dried meat from the female attendant, walks to the mother-in-law's seat, and performs the same ceremony as before.

Then, instead of the parents-in-law, the praisers performed a ceremony of giving the bride sweet wine to the bride, and then, the bride performed a "food gift" to the parents-in-law with the food prepared according to the regulations, to show that the life of the parents-in-law and the future In her care.On the third day, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will return it to the daughter-in-law with a "gift of offering".

After the father-in-law and daughter-in-law toast each other, the father-in-law and mother-in-law descend from the west steps, and the new daughter-in-law descends from the east steps—this is the position of the master—to show that the new daughter-in-law has obtained the qualification to succeed her mother-in-law as a housewife.

When the shoot was over, the makeup artist would touch up Jiang Jiao's makeup. On an auspicious day in the third month after meeting her parents-in-law again, the new daughter-in-law would go to the ancestral temple of her husband's family to perform the "temple meeting ceremony"—that is, to meet her parents-in-law. The ancestors of the husband's family, to comfort the spirit of the ancestors in heaven.After this series of ceremonies, the new daughter-in-law officially becomes a member of her husband's family.

After the filming was finished, the director checked the time. At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun shone warmly, and immediately asked the props team to prepare for Sanchao to return home. (Sanchao refers to the third day after marriage) looked at the carriage being pulled, Jiang Jiao was excited, this was the first time for him to ride a horse-drawn carriage, he must have a good experience in a while!Accompanied by her husband, the bride brings roast pigs and gifts back to her natal home to worship her ancestors, and then returns to her husband's home with her husband. In ancient times, transportation was not as convenient as modern times. If a woman's husband's home is far away from her natal home, the so-called Married from the husband, the woman may not have the opportunity to return to her mother's home after she arrives at her husband's home.

After filming and returning to her husband's house, the director let everyone rest. Everyone took back their lunch boxes and started eating.In the afternoon, we started to shoot the whole life of this married woman.After becoming a married woman, she spends morning and evening at peace, serves her parents-in-law, directs servants, and manages housework.This brief process was captured in one shot.There are many important meanings of forming a family, one of which is inheritance.Children are the beautiful continuation of life. The birth of a newborn is a sweet and heart-warming family event in any age. If a woman of childbearing age has no children for a long time after marriage, or only sees Nongwa but not Nongzhang, it is very serious. It's not good, seeing that the position in the in-law's family is about to decline, hurry up! When you are in a hurry, you have to look up to the sky and pray for the mysterious religious power, so all kinds of folk activities to pray for a child have begun!For this point, the experts selected the more distinctive Tangren Qiuzi!

People in the Tang Dynasty don’t care whether they are big or small, as long as they can bring dolls, they are good gods. There are various folk ancestral halls and ancestral temples scattered all over the place, and the gods living in them are also rich and colorful, which truly reflects the inclusive atmosphere of the Tang people.In the ancestral hall, some small clay figurines are made and lined up on the shrine. There are golden boys and girls, all with bare buttocks.On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the heroines who prayed for children brought their husbands or called the seven aunts and eight aunts to the temple in such a mighty way, burning incense, bowing down, and saying wishes, everything was not sloppy, a series of standard procedures After the walk, the pious believers each took a small clay figurine from the statue and took it home, representing that they had prayed for the child they were thinking of.This mysterious little clay figurine can't be seen casually by the guests. Please hide it carefully behind the kang mat at home after returning home, which is very solemn.If your wish comes true, and you really "beg" for a child, especially a boy, and then return to the temple respectfully to fulfill your wish and give alms, you will be done.

Sometimes there are sacrifices to the matchmaker, and mid-spring is the time when the ancients worshiped the matchmaker god.The matchmaker is the god of fertility who is in charge of seeking children. Nuwa has a high status in the hearts of Tang people, who believe that she is not only the god of marriage but also the goddess of creation, and the ancestor of human beings.God's decree allowed the two brothers and sisters Nuwa to marry and reproduce human beings. Nuwa's function was admired and respected unprecedentedly in the Tang Dynasty. It can be seen that she is firmly seated as the god of fertility.Jiang Yuan stepped on the footsteps of the emperor of heaven and conceived and gave birth to Houji. This highly creative plot has attracted the devout worship of romantic people, so she is not only the ancestor of the Zhou people, but also regarded as the god of fertility by later generations.

After performing this section, Jiang Jiao was put on a big belly by the make-up artist. Looking at Jiang Jiao with a big belly, she was very happy. In this era, it is rare to see such a young pregnant mother.Moreover, Jiang Jiao really wants to walk and move like a pregnant woman in order to play a vivid image.And Xu Yi was brought into the play naturally by her.

Then the filming finally succeeded in seeking a child. She was pregnant in October, and the expectant mother was about to give birth.In ancient times, women usually gave birth in their own homes, and the delivery room was their own bedroom. In order to prevent the mother from getting sick, the doors and windows were all closed.The ancients believed that childbirth was unclean, and it was considered bad luck. The clothes and pants of the pregnant women were regarded as filthy things, and it was even more taboo to be stained with blood from the delivery room.Grown-up men are usually forbidden to get close to the pregnant woman, spreading blood will wash away a man's good luck! Xu Yi was terrified when he heard Jiang Jiao's shout inside, and he kept circling outside the house in a hurry !Seeing the blood that kept pouring out, Xu Yi rushed to the door in a hurry, but was stopped by the staff who played the role of maid. "Crap! Xiao Nai's performance is very good, this one is over. Get ready for the next one."

Waking up by the director's voice, Xu Yi realized that he was filming a movie. After touching the sweat that broke out because of anxiety, Xu Yi went in to see Jiang Jiao. After seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved.

On the third day after the newborn is born, the adults will wash the baby's body and hold a celebration ceremony, which is called "three rites of washing".This kind of ceremony only appeared in the early Tang Dynasty, so it is not necessary to shoot this time.After everyone prepared the props and Jiang Jiao finished her makeup, it was time for the shooting of the full moon.

After the birth of the baby, after one month expires, our lovely relatives and friends will come to the stage again to send the most sincere blessings. One month, this is the "full moon", also known as the "full moon".On the day of the full moon, if you want to cut the hair of the full moon baby, it is stipulated that the action must be presided over by the uncle, and then an old lady with good fortune and longevity and high morals will be invited to hold the baby. The cut hair will be lanugo, and the family will take good care of it. cannot be disposed of at will.The folk "full moon" ceremony is to receive congratulatory gifts, relatives and friends will carefully prepare some small clothes, small hats, or delicate food to bring.Seeing the child in her arms who didn't know where it came from, Jiang Jiao was overjoyed. While everyone was getting ready, she quietly teased the child, and Xu Yi, who was watching from the side, also played with her.Jiang Jiao was still very reluctant to wait for this scene to be filmed.Next is the centenary and the first birthday. These two festivals became popular after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so experts did not arrange them. However, since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the "Testing Zou" ceremony has arisen, which is now Zhuzhou.But it is the most important thing to shoot.

The trial part is to place a large plate on the kang at home called a "pan", and put books, pens and ink, abacus, small scales, toys, food, etc. on the plate. For girls, needles, thread, rulers, scissors, etc. should be added.From the preparation of these test items, it can be seen that ancient women were trained in the direction of housewives since childhood.

Wait for this scene to end.Today's task is completed.The director asked everyone to go back to rest, "It's good to come back at work tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work in the past few days, so that we can finish the shooting of this short film so quickly. Thank you for your hard work." After the director finished speaking, everyone dispersed up.Bai Yan pulled Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi away.Seeing the two of them slumped in the backseat, Bai Yan felt very distressed, "I've exhausted you all today. The director told me just now that this is the end of the filming. Just add a little more shots in the next two days. "Listening to Bai Yan's words, Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi nodded. Because they were too tired, the two of them were very quiet, and the three of them went home quietly all the way.After being repeatedly warned by Bai Yan, the two of them went home to take a good rest and went to bed early. After a night of dark, sweet and dreamless sleep, they finally relieved the exhaustion of the day.
