The entertainment custom of ancient winter solstice?

After the winter solstice, people entered several solar terms. It was the time when the snow and ice in the north were frozen and the cold wind in the south was biting. As long as people can't go out, they can only stay at the second door. In ancient times, when living standards were still very backward, winter was even longer for people. So, in the past winter, what entertainment did Japanese people have? Let Lao Huang Li introduce you to the entertainment mode of winter solstice, that is, covering the dust and charcoal.

Our ancestors were very good at observing natural phenomena, and the custom of "hanging earth charcoal" from winter solstice was very interesting. In the first three days of the winter solstice, people hang mud and charcoal on both ends of the wooden pole of the balance, so that the weight on both sides is just balanced. In winter solstice, when the sun shines, charcoal will be heavy, while in summer solstice, when the sun shines, the soil will be heavy. Obviously, the principle of this simple little experiment lies in whether the objects on both sides absorb water.

Jia Zhanhui's Law "Jia Zhanhui's Law" is another interesting little experiment, which involves the knowledge of ancient music in China. According to the "Twelve Laws" in China's music theory, the ancients used Jia's ashes to predict the climate.

People burn reed membranes into ashes, put them in legal tubes and put them in secret rooms to occupy the climate. When a season and climate come, ashes from a legal test tube fly out, indicating that the season and climate have arrived. According to the experience of the ancients, on the solstice of winter, soot should fly out of the bell tube, which is the way people judge the arrival of festivals.

The so-called twelve laws are to divide an octave into twelve semitones. If we now assume that Ling Huang is the "C" sound on the piano, then other laws will rise by one and a half tones in turn, namely, Ling Huang, Da Ling, Tai Qun, Zhong Jia, Gu Xi, Zhong Ling, Lin Ling, Nan Ling, Yi Ze, Non-shooting and Ring.

Ninety-nine cold-dispelling songs are seasonal folk songs. In the old society, when winter came, children often sang such a ballad: "In 1929, we didn't shoot guns, in 3949, we walked on the ice, in 5969, we watched willows along the river, in 79, we opened geese, in 99 and in 19, we plowed cattle everywhere." This is the most popular ninety-nine song, also called ninety-nine words, which is called "ninety-nine cold-resistant song".

According to the traditional calendar of our country, every nine days is a period of time starting from the second day of the winter solstice, which is the "nine" opposite to the "fu" in summer. There are nine periods of "Count Nine". The first nine days are called September 19, followed by September 29, March 39, ... It is not until September 9 that the weather gets warmer and the earth is full of spring.

The old songs of 1999 have been spread in most parts of the country, especially in the north, where the winter is very cold. Therefore, the 99-year-old song is not only worthy of the name, but also has practical significance. Outside the north, because the climate is warm and cold, people's creative focus is different, so there are some differences in the songs in 1999.

On the solstice of winter, people have the custom of pasting "99 Cold Protection Map". The cold map records the sunny weather from winter to the future so that people can predict the prosperity of next year.

There are many forms of cooling diagram. The simple method is to draw nine vertical and horizontal grids, and then draw a money shape in the middle of each grid. * * * You take eighty-one yuan and draw one yuan every day. The painting method is "cloudy to sunny, left wind and right rain and snow". The folk song also said: "In the cloudy and sunny snow, there are left winds and right rains everywhere, and the spring grass is green." Or choose nine words and nine pictures to form a sentence and put it in the grid, which is also a daily stroke. The nine commonly used couplets are "weeping willows (pavilions) in front of the court and cherishing the spring breeze".

In addition to the above two, there is another kind of "artful drawing", which is to draw a plum with 81 petals and dye one petal every day. It's 99 when it's all dyed, and spring is coming. What is even more fascinating is that women make up and dye plums. From plums to apricots, from winter to spring, the change of seasons is connected with the rouge of Jiaren Xiaozhuang, which is really amazing.

Although the custom of drawing pictures to dispel cold is simple, if it is brewed with ingenuity, it has a different charm, and people often pin their feelings on it.
