How to see the ancient nobles in the double Ninth Festival from the dream of Red mansions

Chung Yeung Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, New Year's Eve and other festivals, as one of China's most important traditional festivals, according to historical records, it began in the spring and Autumn Period, popular in the Western Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty and was formally designated as a folk festival, can be said to have a long history.

There are many writings on the Chung Yeung Festival, the Tang Dynasty Wang Wei's poem, "September 9 Yi-Shan brothers" in the "unique in a foreign land for the alien, every festive times Sze Chen" in the "festival" is the Double Ninth Festival. Meng Haoran's "past the enemy village" in the "until the Chongyang day, still come on chrysanthemum." "The writing is also Chongyang."

Not only poetry, there are more descriptions, classical classics also have more descriptive, "a dream of Red mansions," wrote in the Jia Fu This hundred years prominent families is how to spend the Double Ninth festival, if not TSO Kung description, we may really can not imagine, the past aristocratic house, how to spend the double-ninth, whether it is eating or playing, people can not do, Not the average person can digest.

The original text of the 37th and 38th, more concentrated description of the Mid-Autumn festival after Jia Fu's happy scene. Since it is a traditional festival, naturally there are many customs, we come to see how the Jia Fu Chung Yeung Festival.

Eat seasonal cuisine: pastries, lotus roots, crab

The most important part of the festival is feasting, and ancient and modern. Say Jia Fu this year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, see Fast to Chongyang, when in autumn, it is a variety of fruits and aquatic harvest season, this season can eat too much food.

First say the cake lotus root. 37 Back to the one thing, Bao Yu let the servant girl to send food to Shi Xiangyun, send what? The original text has such a paragraph "(attack person) first opened a, inside is a red ling and chicken two fresh fruit, and that one, is a plate of osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut flour cake." ”

Why do you want to give Xiangyun this kind of food for no reason? Because it's almost the ninth festival! The Ancients Double Ninth Festival has ascended the custom, the poem Yue "Distance horse Brothers Ascend Place", said is the double ninth unstoppable matter.

But ascend not everyone can, in the past boudoir woman because can not publicity, perennial in purdah, many times can not ascend, so gradually to eat pastry instead ascend.

Bao Yu gave Xiangyun's "Osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut flour cake." "That is the double Ninth Festival of a gourmet pastry, and this pastry in the use of Osmanthus, chestnut and other ingredients, are also the season only fresh ingredients."

Not only that, to Xiangyun two fresh fruit red ling and chicken, but also this season of food. Red Ling is the chestnut, the chicken is the chicken fruit, two food are produced in the pond, this should be the garden in the pond planted in the aquatic products.

It is worth mentioning that the chicken fruit, unknown so the reader to see this, may be thought to be the real chicken, the chicken fruit is Gorgon mature seed benevolence, because the shape of the chicken and named. The fruit of the chicken is also called the chickens, Nanjing people especially love to eat. From Jia's people to eat the chicken fruit, also from the side reflects the Jia's hometown Jinling.

Besides this Lotus root, Xiangyun host please jiamu and other people feasting, location selected in the Lotus root, on the Lotus Champs, the original so introduced "originally this lotus root of the Champs in the pool, four sides have a window, there is a curved porch can pass, is also across the water, and behind the twists and turns takebashi dark connection." ”

Not only this word to take the elegance, more importantly, Autumn is the lotus root season, there is no better than the double Ninth festival to eat Ling Lotus. At this time the fresh Lotus root just listed, not with a share just out of the muddy fragrance it? So this place also has a pair: Lotus Shadow broken to the blue Oar, Ling Lotus root fragrant deep write Takebashi.

Imagine the Chongyang festival, a large family in the lotus root feasting laughter, drink warm wine, line of alcohol, appreciate from the pond from the water blowing faint lotus root fragrance, it is how elegant more memorable an interesting thing.

Said finished small food, naturally without hard vegetables, double ninth season the biggest hard dish is this extremely fertile crab, Xiangyun host to do the feast, the main dish is crab, this crab is Xue Bao Chai, the original said Jia Fu people, "from the old lady up even on the garden, there are more than half are love to eat crabs." Therefore, there is no better life than to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus eating crab in the ninth season.

This crab is Xue Bao chai brother Xue Pan from outside to get, the original text has a section of people eat Crab description, is vivid:

Sister Feng commanded: "Crab can not take more, still put in the steamer, take 10, eat and then take." "One side also washed hands, standing in front of Jiamu to peel the crab meat, the first time let Aunt Xue." "My aunt Xue said:" I eat sweet, no one let. "Sister Feng and Jiamu." Second, and Bao Yu, said: "The hot of the hot wine to get." "And fate of the girls to take the chrysanthemum leaves Guihuari smoked mung bean face, ready to wash their hands."

From this text, know, Jiamu old age, eat crab not himself, but by sister Feng Peel the crab meat to her, Xue aunt feel that they eat more sweet, do not peel. Bao Yu most of Jia mother favor, sister Feng Peel to Jiamu crab meat naturally also have a part of him.

Because the crab meat is cool, and at this time for autumn, eat not good, easy stomach cold, must be with warm hot wine (yellow rice wine or shochu), and also dip in a good sauce vinegar juice to eat, so eat up more delicious, also more beneficial to the body. From eating crab meat to know the people of Jia's diet fine.

Fengjie let little girl to wash the "chrysanthemum leaves Guihuari smoked mung bean face" is completely to go fishy to greasy. and chrysanthemum, sweet-scented osmanthus are seasonal flowers, everywhere, with their stamens smoked mung bean face wash, not only can remove the fishy of the crab meat residue, but also let the hand more refreshing and smooth, and leave a scent of gas.

Can not but say, Noble House over Chongyang, really fastidious ah, wash a hand is so fine, if put in our today, perhaps a pair of disposable gloves all solved.

Seasonal beauty: Begonia, Osmanthus, Chrysanthemum

Bai Juyi's "Double ninth table Fu Feverfew" There are two verses, "Full garden flower Chrysanthemum Yu Golden, there is a solitary clump of color like frost." This is the case of Chung Yeung Festival chrysanthemum Appreciation. In the Chrysanthemum poem of spring, there are also two "short temples cold dip three-way dew, GE towel fragrance dyeing nine autumn frost." ”

This season, it is cold and dew, still blooming flowers are not much. Spring is the season of flowers blooming, after the spring, flowers withered, in the autumn can be for people to clear the pleasing may only chrysanthemum, Osmanthus, begonia several.

The original text in the first Jia Yin finally got a few pots of white begonia, mildly outnumbered get hand to the Bao. At that time, Bao Yu and other people to chant the white Begonia as the title, respectively, and made a poem, and the name of the Poetry Society as Begonia Poetry Society.

Xiangyun and Bao Chai to discuss the matter, Bao Chai said "the days before the aunt also said to please the Old lady in the garden to appreciate Osmanthus eat crab", and later discussed to make Chrysanthemum poetry, also proposed a lot of chrysanthemum topics, can be seen Osmanthus and Chrysanthemum is the most common beauty.

The "good in the middle of the" and "handshake westerly tears do not dry" wrote: With a message, advised snacks. Sweet-scented Osmanthus time saving heavy also. Osmanthus season, is the Mid-Autumn festival, is autumn, and autumn in the literati pen, since ancient times are more than a few melancholy, but also miss the heaviest. Jia House over the mid-Autumn festival, also drums pass flowers, flowers is a folded osmanthus.

Huang Chao's "Not the first Fu Ju" wrote: Until Autumn to Borlnd eight, I spent flowers after killing. Towering incense array through Changan, the town with gold armor. Here is the Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Blooming when the pomp, the fragrance of Chang ' An, color full of the city, wrote the Chrysanthemum Qing Yun Elegant and a solo show, but also reflects the author's character and Mind.

This time Bao Chai is also the daughter of nature, the original said, "Bao Chai hand holding a sweet-scented osmanthus play a back, leaning on the window sill pinch the Guille throw to the water, the fish floated up drouth." "We know that Bao Chai never take flowers powder son, presumably this Chung Yeung festival, she also did not hairpin chrysanthemum, but pinched the Guihuari to luring swim fish, this is the true side of Bao Chai day not known."

Begonia poetry: Begonia poem, chrysanthemum poem, crab chant

The Spring Festival is in autumn, after August 20, the original text said, "This year Jia Zheng again point of learning bad, choose to get up on August 20." That is to say, Jia Zheng at home after the Mid-Autumn festival, went out to the official, after the spring has only started the Poetry society.

Generally after the autumn harvest, from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the second year of spring plowing, the middle of almost four months or so, the weather is cold, everyone is idle at home Nothing, this group of aristocratic teenagers is more so, so came up with a poetry society so elegant things come. In fact, this poetry society in the Grand Garden is also the last happy time for this group of young and good children.

From the Spring Poetry Society to Xiangyun host to do crab feast, from the white Begonia to chant chrysanthemum poetry to the crab chant, just two days, the people did three back poetry, such things put in our today, geek is three, is to do a return poetry is also difficult. A limerick is good to write, but it is difficult to be strictly in line with the verse.

Not only that, they have done a poem, but also to judge, the book of the chief, the bottom of the penalty, can be said to play. See Jia This group of boys and girls, although seemingly idle, but everyone is endowed both, talent, especially the Dai Xiang and other people, but also women do not let Manly, make Bao Yu this manly turbidity is the bottom of the times.

A Chongyang festival, if Just eat and drink, everyone casually play is not fun, so Shi Xiangyun host of this crab feast, not only invited Jiamu together, Jiamu back, they completely relax, for the back of the poem manufacturing atmosphere.

Bao ' An way: "Do not have to pose, we and poetry." Put the Happy reunion table in the middle, the wine and snacks are put. Do not have to arrest the seat, there is love to eat everyone to eat, not to sit cheap. "Bao Chai Road:" This is very. ”

After everyone drinks three rounds of food after five, "Xiangyun took the poem, with a needle wan on the wall." But at this time the people did not immediately poetry, but their own meditation for a while, and then in their interest in the poem under the Tick. After tasting, everyone began to eat crab, and then make crab chant ...

Other and do not say, only chrysanthemum poetry, Bao Chai and Xiangyun can be prepared "chrysanthemum" "asked Chrysanthemum" "Visit chrysanthemum" "Yi Ju" "chrysanthemum" "Xu Chrysanthemum" "Chrysanthemum" and so on 12 with chrysanthemums related poems, and in the back to do out, visible their talent mind.

This chrysanthemum poem, Lin Daiyu won the first prize, everyone is convinced, to the back of the crab chant, Bao Chai a "front road without latitude and longitude, Piri Reis spring and autumn air black yellow" stand out, grabbed the crab chant leader. We see Tso Kung write the Chai, will be equal, equal.

In the autumn of the Double Ninth Festival, there is Sunshine Breeze, there is wine has meat, there are flowers have poetry, so spend a day, think it is very comfortable. The lyrics of the song "Let us the world of mortals, live a little Sasa, riding Pentium sharing the world prosperous", with this lyrics described in the Grand Garden in this group of boys and girls, again suitable.
