Let’s talk about Chen Kang and Jiang Liuyu taking Wu Yang and Liu Shu out of the palace gate. All four of them have passed by Fengyang Mansion, so they have nowhere to go. Recommended: Send the new work of Dakang’s great master, "The Mysterious Wizard" http://m./2_2866/

The four of them walked slowly along the main street of Fengyang Mansion. Gradually, an extremely noisy sound came from their ears. The pedestrians on the street gradually became crowded. Before the four of them could ask what was going on, a towering mountain of lamps in front came into view.

At dusk, the sun in the sky gradually fell, and in the dark, the mountain of lamps seemed to be conspicuous.

The four of them walked up and looked carefully. It turned out that the Lantern Mountain was made of millions of colorful lanterns, with lanterns and fireworks, and the golden and blue rays shining brightly.

There were crowds of people watching from the corridors on both sides, and passers-by gathered here to watch the performances of strangers under the corridor.

The magical powers are singing and dancing, the scales are tangled with each other, and the music is noisy for more than ten miles. The teahouses and wine shops are lit with lights, gongs and drums, firecrackers are ringing with each other, and the lights are endless for a hundred miles.

Jiang Liuyu said in a daze: "What kind of festival is this so lively!"

The sound was too loud, and Chen Kang didn't hear it clearly, so he turned to look at Jiang Liuyu.

Jiang Liuyu's eyes were shining brightly by the lights. He pulled Chen Kang's sleeves excitedly and shouted loudly: "Let's go! Let's go to the corridor over there!"

Chen Kang heard this sentence clearly, turned to Liu Shu and Wu Yang and said, "You guys follow closely, don't get lost!"

The two of them clasped their fists and responded, and followed them tightly.

It was the first time for Jiang Liuyi to crowd around in such a lively crowd. He frowned with discomfort. After walking for a few steps, he felt a little upset. At this moment, a wave of heat was coming from beside him.

Jiang Liuqi turned his head and looked at it. As he was facing a flame retreating from his ear, Jiang Liuqi was startled and looked closely and found that it was a burly man wearing only lower pants and naked upper body, holding a torch in his hand, breathing fire.

Jiang Liuyu also forgot about the scare just now and pulled Chen Kang forward.

The bearded artists performed hard. Seeing Jiang Liu, Jing and Chen Kang dressed very well, they expected that the two of them had enough pockets, so they performed harder.

"Dear young men, let's give you a unique skill from the family. You guys, young men, you're all interested!"

Jiang Liuqi was very excited, and while slapped, he said, "Okay!"

An old man next to him smiled and said, "Listen to the accent, you are from a foreigner."

Chen Kang bowed to the old man beside him and asked, "I guessed it well. We are indeed from a foreign country. I dare to ask why Fengyang Mansion is so lively."

The old man smiled and said, "Silly boy, it's the seventh day of the seventh month!"

Chen Kang slapped his forehead. Who can remember what days he has been doing for several days?

When the old man said this, he remembered it, the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month.

The old man laughed again and continued, "In addition to the Qiqiao Festival, today is still a festival established by our prefect of Fengyang Prefecture. It has been held every year three years ago. Its name is called the Huagu Lantern Festival."

Chen Kang asked curiously.

I don’t know what kind of skill the big man performed, but the crowd once again cheered and applauded.

The old man smiled and said, "The flower drum show in Fengyang is famous all over the world. Our prefect, under this name, decided to hold the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month every year together with the Qiqiao Festival. Look at the market under the corridors on both sides of our main street, it is called Qiqiao City, also called Lantern Market."

It’s no wonder that the two festivals are so lively.

Speaking of Huagu Opera, it is a general term for small plays of Huagu and Lantern Opera in various places, usually specifically referring to "Hunan Flower Drum Opera". It is popular in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces. But what the old man said was obviously not Hunan Flower Drum, but Fengyang Flower Drum with local characteristics.

The Huagu Opera is lively and light, and the melody is smooth and bright. According to legend, the Fengyang Huagu Opera originally originated in the early Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang decided Fengyang to be the Zhongdu.

However, Fengyang Mansion was not popular at that time, and was very backward in culture and economy. In order to raise Fengyang to prosper, Zhu Yuanzhang immigrated to 140,000 households in Jiangnan and thousands of literati and poets from all over the world to settle down in Fengyang Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang had good intentions at the beginning, and this action was intended to prosper Zhongdu. However, these 140,000 households were all rich people in Jiangnan. Zhu Yuanzhang moved them from the coast to the mainland, which meant that these people would lose their land, their economy, and their political core.

Zhu Yuanzhang was smart. This action not only achieved the goal of prosperity Zhongdu, but also reduced the power of landlords.

These people are used to the prosperity and comfort of Jiangnan. How can they get used to "traveling the big river, crossing the river, and eating hay without water" from Jiangnan to Fengyang from Jiangnan to "stop the big river, eating hay, and drinking without water." They are always wary of leaving their hometowns due to drought and floods. Therefore, people often escape from the migrant team.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not allow it, so he issued a ban, "Anyone who escaped is killed is not allowed." So the timid dared not escape blatantly, so he secretly thought of a solution.

According to unofficial history, in order to avoid the government's investigation, those who escaped halfway disguised themselves as beggars, covered the two ends of a bamboo tube with sheepskin, made small drums, and then randomly folded branches as drumsticks, which formed the prototype of today's double drums. This man made up his own flower drum lyrics, and then went on a journey back to his hometown while singing and begging.

Later, his method was known, so everyone learned to sing it. In this way, the Fengyang Flower Drum multiplied.

The earliest recorded lyrics are: "Home lived in Luzhou and Fengyang. Fengyang was originally a good place. Since Emperor Zhu came out, there has been nine years of desertion for ten years."

Of course, these are all rumors, and it has been almost two hundred years since all this. Huagu Opera has evolved into a opera performance with great local characteristics in the Ming Dynasty today.

I think this Fengyang Prefect, in order to prosper Fengyang's local opera culture, added another festival to the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Shen Kang bowed and smiled, "Thank you Lao Yueshan for his advice, boy understand."

The old man smiled and said, "After eating later, there will be famous actors from our Fengyang Flower Drum Opera next to Dengshan. You have to come and see the fun."

Shen Kang bowed and thanked again.

Jiang Liuyu saw enough of this big man's performance, pulled Shen Kang and said, "Let's find a place to rest."

Shen Kang bid farewell to the old man and hurriedly left the crowd with Jiang Liuqi.

The two of them revoked the crowd, and Jiang Liuwei stopped at the door of the store that was performing under the gallery just now.

"Shen San, have you ever visited the flower building?"

Shen Kang shook his head blankly and said, "I am still young."

Jiang Liuyu tsk his tongue and said, "Although I'm not young, I have never visited the Flower Building."

Shen Kang laughed and said, "Brother Jiang's mansion has a maid who has served the bed for a long time, but she still cares about this."

"It's so naive." Jiang Liuying curled her lips and said, "Where is no lie, there is the fragrance of wild flowers." He paused slightly, straightened his back and said, "Let's go in."
