Lu Yan and Xu Chu rode to Xujiabao.

This is a very remote mountain village, but very simple.

The whole small mountain village is very peaceful.

The area is not large, but the houses look like buildings.

Outside the village is a large area of ​​farmland.

Some people still carry hoes and go out early and return home late at night.

The Yun Kingdom now has the existence of Shui Lingzhu, and the weather is smooth.

Coupled with the blessing of Lu Yan's farmer characteristics, the people are very motivated to work

"Zhongkang is back." When he was at the entrance of the village, he met a fellow villager of Xu Chu.

"Uncle Gangzi, what are you doing?"Xu Chu shouted kindly.

Everyone in Xujiapu is named Xu.

They are from the same clan, so they are very friendly.

"I'm going out and I'll be back soon. This is your friend." Uncle Gangzi was a little short, only about 1.6 meters tall. He had a dark complexion and wore coarse clothes.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very honest and upright.

Lu Yan noticed the other party's There is a thick layer of calluses on the hands, which are the marks left by regular physical work. They look like the hands of a mason.

They are a little hunched.

They look quite old.

"Well, this is the brother I met outside. He takes good care of me. If it weren't for him, I might have been sent to the government." Xu Chu nodded.

He agreed with Lu Yan very much.

"Oh, what's going on?" Uncle Gangzi's expression changed.

This is no small matter.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the money was stolen. Later I stole someone else's wine and was discovered. Fortunately, this big brother was here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back."

"You, how can I say hello to you? No wonder your grandpa doesn’t trust you to go out alone." Uncle Gangzi was speechless.

"Don’t tell my grandpa," Xu Chu chuckled.

"Got it, go back quickly, I'm going to buy something." Uncle Gangzi was very helpless.

"OK"

After Lu Yan and Xu Chu entered the village, the number of people began to increase.

Everyone is busy because they have to worship their ancestors.

Today is the birthday of the ancestors of Xujiabao. Just like the birthday of Emperor Yan and Huangdi, on this day, an ancestor worship ceremony will be held.

Xujiabao has a common ancestor.

They are all his descendants, multiply and multiply.

Every household is busy, and smoke is curling up.

In particular, some women are steaming steamed buns and making tents.

Steamed buns are a tribute.

The tent is needed during ceremonies.

In addition, pig heads, meat, fish, etc. are also needed.

With the arrival of Xu Chu, everyone stopped one after another

"do you know? Zhong Kang came riding a tall horse"

"What? real or fake"

""Really, it's in the village, and there's a person following him."

Everyone was talking.

The tall horses at this time were similar to luxury cars.

Horses were rare.

In the village, mules, donkeys and the like were generally used to transport goods.

Even if There were horses, but they were short horses.

Xu Chu rode this tall horse as if he was driving a Rolls-Royce into the village.

"Mr. Xu, your grandson is back on a big horse." Someone found Mr. Xu and reported

"What? Really." Old man Xu couldn't help but stood up and walked to take a look.

When he arrived at the village, Xu Chu also got off his tall horse.

He led the horse.

He didn't dare to look down at his elders.

"Auntie, this is my friend"

""Welcome, welcome", everyone expressed a warm welcome to Lu Yan.

When he came to the village, Lu Yan also saw the ancestral hall of the Xu family.

Although the village was ordinary, the ancestral hall was built very grandly and was quite simple.

At the door there was Two huge stone lions.

One person is as tall as one person, and they are very majestic.

They are like guardian gods.

The image of lions began in the Han Dynasty. According to"The Biography of Emperor Mu","Famous beasts can travel a thousand miles, and Suan Ni and wild horses can travel five hundred miles.""Guo Pu of Jin Dynasty notes"Suanni, lion. Also eats tigers and leopards."

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dayue clan in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Chinese emperor with a golden lion as a gift. Later, with the introduction of Buddhism, the lion became a spiritual beast endowed with divine power.

Hui Lin, an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, said:"Suanni is a lion, and it came out of the Western Regions."

The shape of the lion has different characteristics in different dynasties. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was usually powerful and powerful. In the Yuan Dynasty, its body Slender and powerful, it was relatively docile in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Qing Dynasty, the carvings of lions had basically been finalized. The"Yangzhou Painted Boat Record" stipulates:"Lions are divided into heads, faces, bodies, legs, teeth, crotches, embroidered ribbons, bells, and spiral threads." , roll to chisel embroidery beads, and chisel cubs."

Stone lions not only have the characteristics of different eras, but also have obvious regional characteristics. Generally speaking, the stone lions in the north have a grand appearance and simple carvings; the stone lions in the south are more spiritual, lively in shape, and have many carvings. The little lions are not only in the palm of the lioness Some of them climbed on the backs of lions, they were lively and cute.

This stone lion is a stone lion from the north, majestic and majestic.

It is like a gatekeeper god.

It has the function of warding off evil spirits.

Ordinary families cannot afford the use of stone lions for their homes, and their lifespan will be shortened.._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection and recommendation
