How did the Lantern Festival in the four classical novels "make trouble"

Ancient pride and madness.

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival of China people, and it has been a very important festival since Sima Qian's time. What about the Lantern Festival in the four classical novels?

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms mentions the Lantern Festival twice. The first time was in the 69th edition of "Bu Zhouyi Guan Ju Zhi Ji Begging for Han Thief's Five Senses to Die". The second half tells the story of five people planning to revolt against Cao Cao in Xudu during the Lantern Festival. Luo Guanzhong wrote: "On the fifteenth night of the first month, Wan Li is clear, the stars and the moon are shining, and lanterns are competing in six streets and three cities. No way, no way! " Of course, the uprising of Ji Geng and other five people ended in failure, and five people were wiped out by Cao Cao. The second time was 1 19: "False surrender is a false story, and then Zen will follow suit and draw a gourd", saying that Jiang Wei provoked Zhong to rebel and Zhong would threaten Cao Wei's generals in the Lantern Festival. Because Zhong Hui was domineering and unpopular, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were killed by the rebels. In addition, there is a story in The Three Kingdoms that Guan Suo recognizes his father in Jingzhou, which belongs to the non-popular version of the romance. When Guan Suo cried to Guan Yu, he said that he was lost watching lanterns at the age of seven.

The Water Margin has a three-dimensional night light. The first time was when I went to Qingfeng Village for the 33rd time. Song Jiang went to Huarong in Qingfeng Village and watched the Lantern Festival. Liu knew that his wife was up to something. She turned around and arrested Song Jiang. In a rage, Huarong Road made a scene in Qingfeng Village. Qingfeng village is a military post, and this lantern release is a small incident. The second time was at Daming House, No.66.. Lu Junyi, Shi Xiu and others were beheaded by Liang Zhongshu, and Wu used the Lantern Festival to let Liangshan heroes set fire to the city. The heroes made a scene and saved lives successfully. Daming House is Beijing in the Northern Song Dynasty. This lantern is very lively and a little noisy. The third time was in the 72nd capital of Song Dynasty. In this book, Song Jiang took a group of heroes to the capital of song dynasty to spend the Lantern Festival and meet Li Shishi, hoping to control the curve. As a result, jy, Li Kui, was annoyed. He set fire to the Lantern Festival and held lanterns with all the heroes. Bianliang is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is higher than Daming Mansion. This time it is in big trouble.

Coincidentally, there is also a Lantern Festival in Journey to the West. 9 1 back, Tang Priest and his disciples came to Jinping House in Tianzhu. During the Lantern Festival, Tang Priest mistakenly thought that the three rhinoceros spirits who came to steal oil were Buddha, and they were carried back to the abode of fairies and immortals by rhinoceros spirits. The protagonist of this lantern is not a hero, but three ugly goblins.

Compared with the other three novels, A Dream of Red Mansions describes the Lantern Festival in more detail. On 1, Yin Shi met a monk when he woke up, and the monk sang him a song, including "It's time to put out the smoke after the Lantern Festival." Sure enough, the next year's Lantern Festival, the family took Zhen's daughter to see the social fire lantern, but lost it. 18 19 is the first Lantern Festival in Jia family, and there is another important event, that is, mothering. The theme of this Lantern Festival is to visit the garden, write poems and watch plays, and give them in turn. After Yuan Chun returned to the palace, he also went to solve riddles on the lanterns with Baoyu and other brothers and sisters. These riddles are ingenious and hint at the fate of the riddlers. From the 53rd to the 54th, it was Jia's second night. This time, it is more lively. There are many programs, including telling stories, delivering packages, jokes, firecrackers, lotus blossoms and so on. It seems that although Jiafu is a rich family, its Lantern Festival is no different from our common people today.
