The Local Lazy Man System

After the ancestral hall sacrificial ceremony is over, every tribe must wash their faces and hands again. The principals asked the men to bring some fruits, food and drink, meat, tobacco, alcohol, tea and other items, all paper money and paper products to the carriage for the grave.

"Brother Glory, I was silly to hear the sacrifice just now. The sacrificial words are so well written, so talented." Ma Lin said after walking out of the gate of the ancestral hall.

"This is from the bottom of my heart. Besides, these old people, don't look at what universities they haven't studied, but the essence of Chinese culture. These old people are better than us young people, college students, and doctoral students." Ye Yaorong said. .

In fact, the real reason is, in the final analysis, education. The older generation, that is, before the 1960s and 1970s, in China, what everyone values ​​most is China’s own culture. All foreign cultures are seriously affected. Of exclusion.

Although this exclusion is wrong, it allows the essence of Chinese culture to be passed on from generation to generation. The scholars in the past paid attention to piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy. Basically, cultural people with a little culture will do this.

But it doesn't work anymore now. As the country put foreign language education to a level that is more important than national language education more than ten years ago, if the foreign language fails, you will not even be able to get an undergraduate degree, and vigorously promote foreign culture.

As a result, China's own culture is almost squeezed out of the living space by Western culture. The old people in the past can write handwriting and write a good article.

Nowadays, young people can't do it anymore. Not to mention that there are not a few who can write calligraphy with brush, that is, the pen calligraphy is crooked, and when writing articles, sometimes they don't say anything.

These are not the most important ones. The most important thing is that these traditional customs and cultures of China are slowly lost in the generation of young people. There are traditional Chinese festivals. Few young people in China remember clearly. Western festivals, everyone Remember very clearly.

Fortunately, the country has realized the seriousness of the problem in recent years and has added several traditional Chinese festival holidays. Let young people not forget that there are so many traditional festivals in China, and the traditional significance of these festivals.

"This is true. The old people in the past are really good at learning." Liu Qingqing agreed with his man's words.

"Brother Honor, where are we going now?" Ma Lin asked.

"Now we are going to sweep the grave." Ye Yaorong said.

...

After a few people got in the car. After a few minutes, the car leading by the car in front began to drive, followed by a salute car, which fired a salute every time it traveled a certain distance. Tell the people around that the Ye family is worshipping their ancestors.

In addition to the salute car, the ancestral hall also invited a band, in the middle of the convoy, there were several singers sitting in them, singing songs continuously, and the whole sacrifice was very lively.

Ye Yaorong didn't know when this kind of band started to emerge in Wenzhou, anyway, in recent years of celebrations, many people invited this kind of band to play music. Sing a song, invite a band, about three thousand dollars a day.

"Husband, what should you pay attention to when you visit the ancestral grave?" Liu Qingqing asked, looking at Ye Yaorong.

"There are some taboos," Ye Yaorong said after thinking for a while.

"What are the taboos?" Liu Qingqing asked.

"First, don't go to places that are too remote, which can easily arouse evil spirits. This is because there are more tombs on the hilltops and they are heavy.

"Secondly, when you encounter graves on the road, you must be respectful. You must not touch the tombstone with your feet. It is best to be more serious and solemn. Never use your mobile phone to take pictures of the grave. This is very taboo. There is nothing else."

Ye Yaorong said. These were what the elders in the village said when he went to the tomb with his father, and Ye Yaorong kept remembering them.

The fleet of more than two hundred vehicles lined up in a long line towards Meiyuan Town, causing considerable traffic jams along the way.

But in this way, the traffic police can't help it. There are a lot of caravans to worship ancestors in the first month. They are all mighty and mighty, as long as there are no illegal traffic laws, the traffic police can't stop them.

Of course, I didn’t dare to stop them. I didn’t stop people from going to worship their ancestors for no reason. An ancestral hall with thousands of thousands of people could easily be caused. The government is also afraid.

The motorcade drove for about an hour, and finally drove mightily to a place called Wangjia Village in Meiyuan Town, where the ancestral grave of the Ye family's ancestral hall was located.

This Wang’s Village was indeed a veritable Wang’s Village hundreds of years ago. Everyone in the village was surnamed Wang, but since the ancestor of the Ye family’s ancestral hall placed the ancestral grave here, hundreds of years have passed down. Half of the people are named Ye.

In ancient times, people paid much attention to Feng Shui, especially the Feng Shui of ancestral tombs, because in the eyes of ancients, the feng shui of ancestral tombs was good, so that they could protect their children and grandchildren to flourish.

Ye Yaorong listened to the village elders saying that after the ancestor of the Ye family’s ancestral hall resigned and returned to his hometown, he specially asked a Feng Shui master to search for his grave. Fortunately, a hundred years later, he could be buried in this treasured place of Feng Shui to bless future generations to flourish.

After five years of searching, the feng shui master found two feng shui treasures for the ancestor of the Ye family, one is Wangjia Village here, and the other is Xiaodan Village in He~xi Town.

The ancestor was very satisfied with the two plots and couldn’t bear to give up any of them. So the ancestor made a difficult decision to buy both mountain lands. The ancestor and his wife were buried separately after a hundred years. Good luck bless the prosperity of children and grandchildren.

After buying the land, the ancestor asked him to choose two of his seven sons. One asked him to move his family to Wangjia Village, and the other to Xiaodan Village, where they could spread branches and leaves. The purpose was to protect the ancestral grave. These two branches are called "mountain masters~www.wuxiaspot.com~" With the change of time, the population of the Ye family has become more and more prosperous, and now it is divided into many small branches, and the population is increasing.

However, people will never forget their ancestors and their origins. Every year they will visit their graves to worship their ancestors and pray for their ancestors’ spirit in the sky.

After parking the car, Ye Guangrong got out of the car and followed the crowd towards the top of the mountain in front. The top of the mountain was not high or big, but the shape of the mountain outside was like a swimming red dragon. The raised head, both form and spirit, head up eastward, although it is not a real dragon land, it is also an excellent Feng Shui.

In the past, the entire hilltop had only the ancestral graves of the Ye family's ancestral hall. However, with the change of times, the title deeds hundreds of years ago will no longer be recognized. Therefore, on the entire hilltop, you can vaguely see many tombs. These are all Tombs of other surnames.

Who makes this place a treasure of geomantic omen? Many people have taken a fancy to this place. If the current government does not allow such private tombs, there will be more graves on this mountain.

Ye Yaorong followed the crowd up the mountain. The tombs of the ancestor of the Ye clan's ancestral hall and the Tai Clan were halfway up the mountain. That location was the best location for Feng Shui in the entire hill. (To be continued.)
