Chapter 92 Upper beam (recommended for collection)

Today is an excellent day, a day that can be recorded in the village chronicle of Banwan Village.

The renovation of the main building of Banwan Village Primary School has been completed, and it presents an intertwined appearance of tradition and modernity faintly surrounded by mountains.

Today is the day when the primary school beam was erected, and it was also the day when Jinxiufang and Wanniantai were completed.

If the beam-raising day in a personal family is only the most important day for that family, then the beam-raising day of Banwan Village Primary School is the most important day for all the families in the village!
The upper beam mainly refers to the process of installing the highest middle beam on the roof of the building.

In our tradition, the central beam here not only refers to the practical important position of the building structure, but also has its intangible religious significance.

In the beam-raising ceremony, the role of beams is used to connect the relationship between the temple itself, heaven and earth, gods and religious people.

Hope your home is prosperous, safe and peaceful.

The general book says: "The upper beam is like the crown of a person."

From this, it can be seen that people attach great importance to this upper beam.

All projects in Banwan Village, whether it is the new village or the old village, are suspended for one day.

Needless to say, the villagers from every household have already put on the clothes they wear during the festivals and gathered in front of Banwan Village Primary School.

The faces of the villagers were all red, and the smiles on their faces could not be hidden.

Before, they envied He Biao's family and Li Jin's family, but not now.

Whether it's Jinxiufang or Wanniantai, they can also earn a fortune, so why bother to stare at those crafts that they don't know?

"Ouch, I said Lao He, you have a pretty good cigarette."

The fat old man saw the old brother, grabbed the cigarette rod in his hand, and looked him up and down.

"How about it, my daughter-in-law is filial!"

The thin old man didn't get annoyed even if he snatched the cigarette stick, and said loudly with a little complacency.

"Hey!"

"If you say you're fat, you're still out of breath!"

The fat old man clapped his palm on Lao He's shoulder, and said cheerfully.

"It's all thanks to Designer Bai. Look at our village, look at our old man."

The fat old man reached out and pointed at the old guys: "Look, everyone has a lot of smiles on their faces."

"Our waists are all straight!"

"We used to think we were old, why?"

"Isn't it because we didn't run our heads every day and counted the days to die, we can't do it now."

"A few days ago, when Wanniantai and Jinxiufang were being remodeled, why don't we go to see it ten or eight times to feel comfortable?"

When the old man said this, the people around him surrounded him, echoing each other.

"Designer Bai, you are the benefactor of us old guys!"

There was a strong voice of gratitude in the words, and everyone nodded in agreement after hearing the words.

"Yo, Designer Bai is here."

Someone with sharp eyes saw a group of people not far away, and quickly exclaimed.

As soon as the words fell, I saw hundreds of people from all villages, old and young, looking towards the intersection.

When he saw that young figure, his face was filled with a smile.

With a bang, they all rushed up.

"Designer Bai, you are here!"

"Designer Bai, you've worked hard for our village."

"Designer Bai, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? I'll cook a table for you!"

"Hey, Xiao He, do you know how to cook? Don't spoil Designer Bai's stomach. Designer Bai, you go to my house, my daughter-in-law's skill is this!"

"Designer Bai."

You say it, I say it, and everyone is happy.

Gongtong and the teams he led received the warmest respect from the whole village.

The common people are like this, they all understand who treats him well and who treats him badly!
Soon the village head and the village secretary came, and they handed out a red cloth strip to each villager.

Davidia involucrata also took it.

He was a little puzzled seeing Banxia holding the red cloth strip, and immediately took it into his hand under her dazed gaze.

Wrap the red cloth around Banxia's waist, then bend down and tie a beautiful knot in front of Banxia.

"This is called a red silk strip, and it has the effect of avoiding evil and destroying evil spirits."

Under the gaze of big eyes, Gong Tong explained.

"Brother Tong, I want to help you too!"

Next to her, girl Qianhe stretched her hands forward, deliberately teasing her coquettishly.

Chen Lin, Zuo Chao, and everyone laughed.

They all tied cloth strips, and everyone entered the school.

In the school, there are sacrifices and incense in front of the building.

In front of the sacrifice is a wooden beam placed horizontally on the horse, and the master carpenters have been waiting for it early. (Horse, made of crossed wooden brackets)
Davidia involucrata was embraced by the villagers and walked to the place closest to Liang.

The time has come!
Under the leadership of the master carpenters, Gongtong and the whole village worshiped Master Lu Ban!
Afterwards, Principal Li Rongxian walked to the wooden beam.

Everyone looked around.

I saw Li Rongxian holding a brush and writing on the wooden beam with a serious expression.

First, the four characters of Guotai Minan!

It is followed by the year, month and day of the lunar calendar.
It stands to reason that he should have stopped at this point, but he never thought that Li Rongxian became more cautious, turned the nib of the pen, and started writing again next to the year, month and day.

Dove Tong's eyes are sharp, and she can see the words clearly.

His body shook slightly, and then he stood up straight, like a spear, with a solemn expression.

What did he see up there?
I saw my own name 'Bai Gong Tong'!
What is this place?
It is the most important middle beam of Banwan Village Primary School!
This is really treating him as the Buddha of the whole village, and it is for generations of students in Banwan Village to remember this kindness.

It is impossible to say unlucky words at this time, Gongtong did not stop it, but deeply remembered it in her heart.

Others in the village also saw it, and all laughed cheerfully, without any doubts, taking it for granted.

After writing, the carpenters nailed red silk to the center of the beam.

Afterwards, Master Zuotou came out and sang the song of going up the beam loudly, while pouring wine on the wooden beam from the beam head to the beam tail with a jug.

It was also the first time for Gongtong to see such a traditional beam-raising ceremony, watching and feeling it carefully.

Although he didn't quite understand Master Zuo's Shangliang song, he could understand the earnest expectations and blessings contained in those words.

"Come on, good luck!"

The masters climbed up the beams, greeted each other, and exhaled loudly.

Only the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and at the same time, the masters began to slowly lift up the wooden beams with rope locks.

When it is raised, the east end of the beam is higher than the west end, because the east head is the "Qinglong Zuo", the west head is the "White Tiger Zuo", and the white tiger is lower than the Qinglong.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the master carpenter knocked the main beam into the tenon.
The ceremony went smoothly. After everything was completed, all the people in the village breathed a sigh of relief, and then grinned.

After the ceremony was over, the big guys didn't leave, and the joy on their faces grew stronger.

"Let's go, let's go to Jinxiufang and Wanniantai!"

"Turn back, I'll sing for everyone first!"

The fat old man greeted with a smile.

"Yes, let's go to Wanniantai and Jinxiufang to have a look!"

"Designer Bai, you can't be short this time. If you don't want to go, the fat man probably won't sing in the show."

"haha, yes"

A group of people, surrounded by Davidia involucrata, walked towards Jinxiufang.

　Book water?I don’t think I’m in a hurry, or I don’t want to fight or want to write in such a hurry, it’s like catching a plane and I’m about to miss it. Think about it, do you remember Mu Jin?Speaking of Lao Yang, the young man who loves to travel, do you remember?When it comes to Fat Master and Thin Master, Li Jinxing, a brewer, He Biao, a college student, Pinellia, Sumu, and Davidia involucrata, the characters in your mind should be three-dimensional, right?Buzheng thinks that everyone should be alive, and needs some characters to decorate. Some people say that it is not cool, but Buzheng thinks that being able to help these villagers is more comfortable than anything else?
