It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

Shangyuan Festival is a day for young men and women to meet.

It is a romantic festival. In the traditional feudal society, the Lantern Festival provides an opportunity for unmarried men and women to meet.

Young girls in the feudal society were not allowed to go out freely. Although the Tang Dynasty was very tolerant to women and did not have so many restrictions, but in a family with strict family education, ladies still rarely go out, but they can go out together during festivals. Shangyuan Festival The flower viewing lantern is just a chance to socialize, unmarried men and women can also find a partner for themselves through the flower viewing lantern.During the Lantern Festival, it is another time for young men and women to meet their lovers. It is known as Chinese Valentine's Day.

Going east along Zhuque Street, you will find Chang'an City East City.

The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of development in Chinese history. It is now the ninth year of Zhenguan, and the Tang Dynasty was in its prosperity. Chang'an City, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the political and economic center of the country, had very developed commerce, and commercial activities They are mainly concentrated in the East Market and West Market within the city.

Dongshi, located in the east of Chang'an City, is [-] steps long from east to west, north to south, respectively.Two gates are opened on each side, and there are four streets in the shape of "well" in the middle, dividing the city into nine square areas.

According to the "Chang'an Chronicle" written in the early Northern Song Dynasty, there are two lines of commodities operated in Dongshi, "the treasures of the four directions are all accumulated".During Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, a fire broke out in the East Market one day, burning down more than 2 houses in 12 rows west of Caomen.Based on this calculation, there are more than 4000 stores in one line, and the two lines in Dongshi, the total number of stores is estimated to exceed 300. One can imagine the prosperity of Dongshi at that time.

At the beginning of the month, Zhang Yang followed the crowd step by step, but the wide street seemed a bit crowded at this time, so Zhang Yang had to change direction and came to the bank of the moat, where river lanterns, lotus flowers, and boat shapes floated on the river, all of which looked strange and carried Following the wish of the lantern-bearer, it flows into the distance. . . . . .

The evening wind blows, and there is still a little chill, but it can't reduce people's interest in playing.As the moon rises, moonlight, starlight, and lights gather together, covering the entire night sky with a layer of hazy gauze, with a mysterious color that makes people intoxicated.

Along the moat, I came to a certain lake in the suburbs. At this time, the lake was surrounded by young men and women who came to light the lanterns. This lake has a moving name, Muxian Lake. It is said that the water of the lake is rippling and clear, attracting The fairies in the sky come to bathe and play, because the scenery is so beautiful and intoxicated that they don't know how to go back and forth, hence the name.

Whether this legend is really publicized is unknown, but the scenery of Muxian Lake at night is so beautiful that it attracts many people to visit here.There are several painted boats moored on the water, from time to time there are pleasant sounds of silk and bamboo, as well as the cheers of the crowd. When the ancients gathered, there would be famous prostitutes to add to the fun, playing the piano and singing, which was called fashion. It's popular, and Zhang Yang has no interest in finding out what's inside.

Ju took a handful of the clear lake water, which was very cold, feeling it slipping through his fingers, and Zhang Yang's brain became sober.

Watching the ripples on the water spread round and round, the lanterns on the water floated far away with the waves. It was the boat carrying the dreams of the girls, far away, to the horizon.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, beautiful girls will put a river lantern with their own hands, light candles, and make a wish to the moon, looking forward to the full moon night in fifteen, and the full moon will be even rounder. Yuelao, don't be dizzy and pull the wrong red line, hurry up and give yourself a good fate for the rest of your life!

On such a beautiful day and such a night, the moonlight shines everywhere, the galaxy is shining brightly, people are singing and dancing, and the dance is in full swing. I close my eyes comfortably, and my heart is no longer sad, and I only say peace to my relatives in the previous life with a little thought.

"what!"

A clear voice exclaimed in his ears, Zhang Yang quickly stopped and opened his eyes, he was able to walk with his eyes closed on the crowded road, Zhang Yang may be the No.1 in the history of Datang, I have to say that he is indeed a wonderful flower .

The little loli in front of me is dressed in men's clothing, but it is still easy for people to tell her gender. Her big round eyes are rolling around, as if thinking of some prank, and a thin layer of rouge is applied on her face, making her look more and more serious. Bring out the good skin with snowy skin and fat.

No man would put makeup on his face when he went out, except for scholars and actors in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The former was due to social atmosphere, and the latter was forced by life.

But the little girl in front of her is definitely not, not to mention that when she stretched out her finger to accuse herself, she could see that her nails were painted with a layer of pink color, which set off her fair little hands, which looked round and cute. There was no nail polish in ancient times, and she loved beauty It's a woman's nature, if there are no conditions, you have to create conditions, and Koudanhua has become the prey caught by beauties to serve their beauty career.

Koudan flower is commonly known as Melaleuca, also known as nail grass.In ancient times, Koudan refers to the nails that have been dyed, and it can also refer to the slender hands that have dyed nails.It is generally developed from brightly colored flowers.

Chinese folk custom: take the petals of Impatiens, smash them with alum, and apply them on the nails for a few hours to overnight, and the nails can be dyed pink to bright red.

During the Tang Dynasty, the fashion of dyeing armor appeared.The material used is Impatiens. The method is to take the flowers and leaves of the highly corrosive Impatiens and crush them in a small bowl. Add a small amount of alum to dip the nails.You can also pinch the silk cotton into the same sheet as the nail, put it into the flower juice, wait until the water is absorbed, take it out, put it on the nail surface, and dip it three to five times continuously, and it will not fade for several months.Manicure is not only a symbol of beauty, but also a symbol of status. Ancient Chinese officials also used decorative metal false nails to increase the length of nails to show their noble status.

It can be seen from this that the status of the little loli in front of her is obviously not low.

"Humph!"

Seeing Zhang Yang standing there in a daze, the little girl snorted dissatisfiedly to express her existence.

"You didn't see me... um, is my master still on the ground?"

The little girl rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, but still stretched her hand forward.

Uh!

Zhang Yang was stunned, what did she mean?He let himself pull her up, but he thought it was an accusation against him!Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, he made a big oolong, fortunately there was no one around him who knew him, otherwise he would have been really embarrassing.

Zhang Yang rubbed his nose and stretched out his hand to pull up the little girl in front of him. After all, it is still the first month of the month, and the ground is relatively cold. Sitting for a long time is not good for the body. Besides, the other party is a girl. It could be called a naughty boy, but sitting on the ground like this is kind of indecent after all.

However, soon Zhang Yang no longer had the strength to worry about the child, and just as he was about to pull her up, he was suddenly pulled by a pulling force, and the defenseless Zhang Yang staggered and fell to the ground.

cluck...cluck...

The little girl is like a little hen that has laid eggs. At this time, Zhang Yang will not admit that she is cute. She is simply a little devil!
