220 Eight Chapters Upper Beam

I saw that Uncle A Chong came to the side of the beam, found a point in the middle, and then centered on this point, first used a chisel to drill one inch deep at the left five points, and then drilled one inch deep at the right five points. Instead of pulling out the chisel, use the chisel to pin it up and pin the middle piece of wood out, which happens to be a small square hole with a length, width, and depth of one inch.

This is experience. When Uncle A Chong cut the material, he had already noticed not to leave the knotted part in the middle. At this time, as soon as the chisel was fixed, a square block of wood would come out, and the knife and the axe cut it!
The surrounding audience shouted in unison again.

After pinning the small wooden block, Uncle A Chong cut off two or three points on the inner side.The chipped wood chips are solemnly wrapped in red cloth, and then the things to be placed are filled into the small holes one by one.

While playing, Uncle A Chong shouted the eulogy loudly: "If it is silver or gold, put it in the grain to rise; be the master of the house and revitalize the universe!"

Once placed, the blocks were sealed as they were.Seeing that the openings on the fir beams and pillars were sealed again, they returned to their original state in a blink of an eye. Uncle A Chong stretched out his hand to wipe them, and there was no trace of the openings.

This skill is perfect, and those who know the goods shouted in unison: "Master Zhang Mo! Good skill!"

Uncle A Chong bowed his hand to Sifang to express his gratitude, and Li Junge hurriedly handed over the red silk to win the money. This is to "bao Liang".

Uncle A Chong took the Yasheng money and the red silk, and nailed them together in the middle of the bottom of the beam to signify ten thousand years of stability.

Singing while nailing: "It's okay not to mention the red silk, but the red silk has roots. In the past, Dong Yongxing was a great filial piety, and the heavenly fairies came down to the earth. The eldest sister and the second sister threw the shuttle board, and the third sister weaved the fourth sister. The fifth sister and the sixth sister Sitting on the journey, the seventh sister and the eighth sister lead the comb. Weave the red rib three feet three feet, and take it to the long street to exchange money. The master's family saw that the red rib is good, bought it back and wrapped it in the house. The front is big for the princes' mansion, and later Including the prime minister’s hall. The left side is also covered with gold and silver warehouses, and the right side is also covered with grain and rice warehouses!”

Li Junge was completely convinced by this time, there were so many gifts in Uncle A Chong's stomach that he couldn't help it!
After wrapping the beam, it's time to wrap the beam.

This is the preparatory work before the beam is raised. First, the people on the roof trusses on both sides of the main room throw a thick rope, and prepare to wrap the beam head and beam tail and pull it up.

Two disciples went up to the roof truss and hung the thick rope to the ground.

At this time, the thick rope can no longer be called thick rope, but must be called "golden belt".

Uncle A Chong and A Tong stood on both sides of the beam. Uncle A Chong wrapped the head of the beam first, and then sealed it as a gift: "Hold the gold belt in your hand, which is long and long. Take the gold belt and wrap it around the beam of the house, and wrap it three times on the left to open the bank. Wrap around the right three times to open the gold line."

Then, A Tong also wrapped the gold belt around the tail of the beam, and said the letter of gift while wrapping it: "Master wrapped the head and I wrapped the tail. The master sits on Baishimei, the master sits on the silver mountain, and the golden water flows at the foot of the silver mountain."

After the girder was wrapped, two more disciples went up to the roof. The four people on top began to lift the girder, while Uncle A Chong and A Tong supported the girder below. The beam ceremony began.

The libretto in Uncle A Chong's mouth changed again: "Climb the double dragon with your hands, step on the ladder with your feet, and climb higher step by step, rising steadily."

"One step up, one horizontal long, Liu Xiu 28 went to Nanyang. Yao Qi, Ma Wushuang rescued him, and made troubles in Kunyang on the [-]th!"

"Two steps up, two strokes, King Wen Weishui visits Ziya. Qishan rises in the [-]th Zhou Dynasty, and the army is raised to destroy King Zhou!"

"Three steps up, three horizontal lengths, Zhuge Liang, the military commander of the Three Kingdoms. Marching troops to defeat Sima, and Zhang Liang's ingenuity!"

"Four steps up, four corners square, Taoyuan married Liu Guanzhang, Taoyuan married good kindness, three please Zhuge Wollongang!"

"Five steps up, five tiger generals, Wu Song beat the tiger at Jingyanggang, and captured the tiger at Jingyanggang, so the world is famous!"

"Six steps up, under the shade of greenery, Mu Guiying, a female general of the Song Dynasty, recruited Yang Zongbao, who broke through the gates of heaven and lost the golden soldiers!"

"Seven steps up, right foot floating, Rengui went down to earth once, saved the king of Tang in the black mud, and made great contributions to the court!"

"Go up eight steps, divide the two places, and Chang Yuchun came out again in the Ming Dynasty. Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the former dynasty, and Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the later dynasty!"

"Nine steps up, hanging on a golden hook. There was a Li Yuanba in the Tang Dynasty. He was very strong since he was young, and he held an eight hundred and eighth copper hammer!"

"Go up ten steps and pass through the middle. There was a Yang Lingpo in the Song Dynasty, who had many sons and daughters, and generations of descendants and grandchildren are fighting!"

"Climb up the ladder, and then up the square. The higher you go, the stronger you are! Once you climb through it with your hands, you will be greeted with a hundred responses; if you climb through it twice, you will have double happiness; if you climb up it three times, you will climb high and look far; if you climb up four times, you will be surrounded by green mountains; Take a step to look at heaven, and the kite turns over the roof beam!"

It was done in one go, and when he finished singing, he turned over and stood firmly beside the roof beam. The people below looked up, admiring him so much, his palms turned red, and his throat burst from shouting.

After the beam is lifted up, the apprentice who catches the beam cannot immediately embed the beam into the groove of the column top, but must first park it on the crossbeam, and wait for the ink master to "sit on the beam".

Uncle A Chong and A Tong, one on the left and one on the right, came to the roof and climbed up to the top pillar. They lifted one end of the beam and held it up high. Then Uncle A Chong shouted, "Zuo Qinglong——"

Ah Tong answered, "Right White Tiger——"

Then the two shouted at the same time: "The green dragon and the white tiger are guarding the golden beam! The generations will last for thousands of years!"

As soon as the shout fell, the two slammed the beam into the groove of the top pillar with a bang.Now there was no need for Li Junge to greet Ermao anymore, the sound of firecrackers suddenly exploded, crackling, and fireworks splashing.In the sound of firecrackers and in the shadow of fireworks, Uncle A Chong stood up and started to step on the beam.

Stepping on the beam means that the master palm ink walks back and forth on the beam that has been installed.To step on the beam master, you have to wear new shoes that the host has prepared a long time ago. It is not good to wear old shoes to step on the beam.

Uncle A Chong, holding a cup in his left hand and holding a pot in his right, his feet are extremely steady, and he has a set of words in his mouth: "One step is once and for all, two steps are two forms of Tai Chi, three steps are three for good luck, four steps are four and eight breaths, five steps The steps are colorful, and the six steps are the same as the spring..."

Turn around at the end, move cleanly, and continue to walk back: "Seven steps and seven stars are shining brightly, eight steps are bright on all sides, nine steps are famous in the sky, and ten steps are everything you want!"

Back at the center of the girder, Uncle A Chong poured the wine glass to the sky after filling it up, and said, "Toast the sky with a glass of wine, God bestows auspiciousness——"

Pour another cup and sprinkle it on the ground, saying "Two cups of wine respect the earth, the land is rich and honored—"

Pour a glass at the end and say "Patriarch Luban, laying the foundation for Huatang—"

After three cups of toast, this beam will be considered settled, which means it has been recognized and officially designated as the pillar of the new house.

Uncle A Chong walked as if he was walking on level ground, and when he turned around he was unrestrained and unrestrained, which naturally attracted a lot of cheers.

At this time, my mother smiled and handed Li Junge two baskets, which contained wine, vegetables, and candies, and covered them with red paper. Li Junge tied the baskets to a rope, and the Miao babies hung them on the beam.

Then, it was time for Uncle A Chong and A Tong to bless the Lord.

I saw that they each picked up the red paper on the basket, and with a shake of their hands, a pair of couplets appeared——

The blessed land is auspicious, and the green dragon wraps around the jade pillar.

The auspicious star shines brightly, and the white tiger supports the golden beam.

This is of course the handwriting of fourth grandpa.

Mr. Si clapped his hands and praised: "The handwriting of the old political commissar is really not done!"

Li Junge and his father hurried forward to pick it up and stuck it on the two central pillars.

Next, it's time to praise the house, and Uncle A Chong gave it first: "Sit on the head of the beam and take a look. The owner sits in a good house. There are magpies in the front to announce the good news, Xuanwu Township in the back, and Linlin to the left." On the lion elephant, there is a blue dragon and a phoenix on the right, the grain mountain and the cotton sea emerge from the ground, and the gold mountain and silver sea hide in the soil."

As soon as the words fell, A Tong also presented him with a gift: "Sitting at the end of the beam and looking around, this house has a good atmosphere. There is a dragon's head swallowing pearls in front, and a dragon's tail playing with silver waves in the back. A gold and silver warehouse is built on the left, and a gold and silver warehouse is built on the right. The fish and rice warehouse, the treasures are hidden in the gold and silver warehouse, and the fish and rice warehouse contains tens of thousands of grains."

Uncle A Chong looked at the wine bottle: "Talk about this bottle, talk about this bottle, and talk about this bottle has its origin. The city of Nanjing hired goldsmiths, and the city of BJ hired craftsmen. The two craftsmen are skilled. , the mouth of the parrot was beaten from the top, the body of the phoenix was shot from the bottom, good wine came out of the mouth of the parrot, and gold and silver came out of the body of the phoenix."

A Tong said: "I hold a golden bottle in my hand, how long my saliva flows, I love the beautiful appearance of the golden bottle, and the second loves the fragrance of the wine in the bottle, but unfortunately I was born reckless, I don't know how to praise wine, so I can't taste it, Master Dongtou also forgive me , please praise the wine point Huatang.".

Then I saw Uncle A Chong pour a glass of wine and took a sip. This was the master's thank you to the carpenter, and Uncle A Chong drank it with peace of mind.

After drinking a cup, Uncle A Chong sang again: "The wine is sweet and fragrant. It is Du Kang who makes the wine. Du Kang makes wine for thousands of drunks. One place opens an altar with ten miles of incense. I serve guests with wine on weekdays, and I get wine today." Light the pillars, light the head of the beam with a glass of wine, make the east rich and raise the Jiuzhou, light the waist with two glasses of wine, put the Huatang in the ten thousand year prison, light the tail of the beam with three glasses of wine, the land is beautiful, people are beautiful, everything is beautiful."

On the other side, A Tong also sang in the same way: "Du Kang made wine in ancient times. Li Bai gambled on wine with hundreds of poems. One cup can make you drunk, and two cups can relieve your troubles. Disciples compete for wine to send congratulations. The master will make a fortune for thousands of years. Drink it A glass of high beam wine, and a piece of high beam meat, the owner feeds pigs like buffaloes, and there are one hundred and sixty per leg."

There was another burst of colorful sound.

Next, this is the most interesting scene in the ceremony of raising the beam. As soon as the crowd saw Li Junge moving out the two big buckets, they started to stir up, and they were about to start picking up the cakes!
When the seedlings pulled the two buckets of Baba mixed sugar onto the roof, the crowd went crazy, and the children rushed to the beam, shouting and jumping: "Uncle Achong! Brother Atong! Here, here!"

It is rumored that eating this cake can lead to health and longevity. Men, women and children in the village and outside the village compete with each other and push each other.

When the tourists saw the excitement, they also screamed to join in.

Liang Huili, Si Xingzhun and the others were stunned: "Wow! What a scary scene!"

The two masters and apprentices sang the letter while tossing on the beam: "Stand tall and tall at the head of the beam, and throw the beam with cakes in your hands. Once you throw the five grains, you will have a good harvest, and if you throw the second throw, you will attract wealth in the four seasons."

"Baba is obedient and delicious. It is a blessing to snatch it. The elderly will feel young if they eat it, and the baby will not get sick if they eat it."

It is not enough to just shake the rice cake, the master and the apprentice also have to "treat the rice cake root" while throwing it, that is, talk about the origin of the rice cake.

"Speaking of baba, making baba, how much do you talk about baba? In the first month, there is a lot of rain in the beginning of spring, and in February, the plows and rakes sound; in March, the seeds are sprinkled in the Qingming Festival, and in April, the summer is busy planting seedlings; The autumn wind is cool; the rice is old in July, August and September, and the host's house is full of joy!"

"What's the use of Baba? Take it to the east and throw the beams, and throw it east and west, and a stream of silver flows to the house. Throw it to the left to make a fortune, and toss it to the right to make a fortune. A pair of Baba is full of grain; Yes, glory and wealth."

The folks below are all crazy now, jokingly grabbing candy and papa, the scene is chaotic and festive.

The two international friend sisters, just like the children, didn’t even shoot the material. They laughed and danced in the crowd, holding their hands high while shouting and receiving randomly.
