The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Then Yang Ping, Yang Hua, Wang Yougui, Tan Juguo and others ran out. Men, women and children from the village came out, stood outside and looked up at the sky. Although excited, one by one, they are still somewhat suppressed. In the Northeast, the weather changes like the character of the Northeast people. The wind and thunder come fast, but it may not rain. Maybe the dark cloud covers the sky, and the next cloud will be seen. Therefore, before there is no raindrop, no one is sure whether the rain will fall.

With one finger on the mountain, Fang Zheng also brought the lone wolf, monkey, and squirrel in the yard and looked up at the sky. At this time, the voice of the red child sounded in Fang Zheng's ears: "Master, the wind is here, the clouds have gathered, and it is raining now What? "

The Founder folded his hands and sighed, "Amitabha, good and good! Please, rain."

In the thunderous thunder, heavy rain fell, raindrops fell on dry land, and the dust was emptied. The ozone smell produced by the thunderstorm permeated the air, and people greedily sucked on this smell. , Comfortable! Cool and cool!

This dark cloud covers a wide area, covering all the villages in the nearby villages directly. After a heavy rain, I do n’t know how many people ran to the streets to celebrate. Some people even started to buy wine and cook directly. Have a good meal and celebrate.

Some people rejoice and some are sad.

Li Ze, a meteorologist at the meteorological station, is now very broken. According to all the data, the drought will last at least one and a half months! To this end, he wrote a 13,000-word report. The above also attached great importance, and held three consecutive meetings to discuss countermeasures. Even the county head began to ask for relief money, watching a vigorous water transport, the campaign to rescue the farmland was about to begin, and it rained ...

Looking at the leadership office in front of him, Li Ze swallowed and went in with a gritted tooth.

Colleagues outside heard the roar of a twelve magnitude earthquake immediately ... shaking their heads endlessly.

Although the rain came, the drought this time also sounded the alarm for all villagers. If we continue to pump this way, drought will happen sooner or later and we must plan ahead.

To this end, the village held a grand villager's meeting, and finally everyone agreed to cancel rice cultivation, no longer pump water at will, and fully cultivate bamboo forests.

When Founder heard the news, he smiled, and then spent a few days helping Hanzhu mother bamboo expand the root system. Although the quality of cold bamboo at the bottom of the mountain is not as good as that on the mountain top, the worst cold bamboo is much better than the bamboo on the market outside. It is not difficult to benefit Yizhi Village.

With several successive heavy rains, the groundwater was replenished, and at the same time, the cold bamboo grew wildly after the rain and began to expand the area. At the same time, a large number of tourists came to see the bamboo forest and eat bamboo shoots. The old carpenter in the village made some small pendants from bamboo, which was surprisingly easy to sell! Many people went to learn craftsmanship.

Tan Juguo even invited a master who was good at making bamboo products to come back and teach everyone to make mats, make bamboo products, bamboo charcoal, etc ... For a time, the whole village consumed bamboo. Although everyone is slow to learn, but the cold bamboo grows fast, and the villagers who are fully supplied are squandering.

At the same time, Yang Ping divided the bamboo forest in the village into three, six, nine, etc., the farther away from the Yizhi Mountain, the lower the level of the bamboo, and the highest level on the top of the mountain. The bamboo products made are also the most beautiful and perfect, just like jade, and they are in short supply in the market! The price of a bamboo mat has risen to 3,000 yuan a piece!

The eyes of the entire village were red for a while, but everyone also understood that the bamboo on the mountain could not be cut a few, which could only be used as a treasure of the town shop to attract customers. If you really want to make money, you have to count on the bamboo under the mountain ... Some people go out to learn the techniques of making bamboo shoots and kimchi with others, some learn to cook a variety of dishes for bamboo shoots, and some people practice manual techniques. At this moment, they have become more active, less playing cards, less squatting on the street in free time, and less discussion of various techniques.

These changes took only half a month ...

When Fang Zheng watched the changes of the villagers under the mountain, there were also 120 happy in his heart. Nothing is more happy than the happiness of those around him. Of course, the people in the village next door are also envious, but unfortunately they will not come. Founder wanted to help but couldn't help, Hanzhu had grown to the limit, and the root system could not be extended.

Seeing the days passing by, the Founder counted the time and found that tomorrow is going to be a holiday!

"Dusts, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival." When eating, Founder Road.

"What is the Dragon Boat Festival?" The lone wolf, monkey, and squirrel have no idea about this. In their minds are only the lively Spring Festival, the fifteenth full moon in the flames of the ground, and the Qingming Festival in which the descendants worshiped their ancestors.

Founder has n’t spoken yet, and the red child has shaken his head and said, “I ’ve told you a long time ago, there is nothing to learn more, and I have to know a few words, right? The so-called Dragon Boat Festival is a festival to honor a human hero . But this is not important. What is important is that there is so much fun and delicious during the Dragon Boat Festival. What dragon boat racing, eating dumplings ... "

Founder tapped the head of Xiahong ’s child: "What isn't important? The Dragon Boat Festival is a day of worship for the human spirit. Nothing is more important than worship and learning the spirit of the ancestors."

"Master, since it is a memorial service, why do you still have a dragon boat race and eat rice dumplings? Isn't it like Qingming Festival?" Squirrel asked curiously.

Founder's Road: "This is more to say. This Dragon Boat Festival is also called" Zhongwu "," Zhongwu ", etc. The customs are different in different places. It originated in the place of Wu Yue first, whenever the beginning of May At five, the locals will hold tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races. The ancients liked to start with the first five days of each month, such as Duan 1, Duan 2, Duan 3, and so on.

The place of Wuyue is the birthplace of the ancient Yue tribe. The ancient Yue tribe regards dragons as their own descendants, and depicts the dragons on the ship as totems, seeking peace and auspicious meaning. It is said that at that time, walking relatives with each other, that is, back and forth with a canoe with a dragon pattern, occasionally faster than anyone, and gradually became a way of celebration and a way of showing strength. This is also the origin of the dragon boat, and later ... After a long evolution, it has become the current dragon boat race.

As for eating zongzi, it was because during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State was defeated, and Qu Yuan held the stones and entered the Luo River, showing loyalty. Later, in order to encourage this loyalty, the kings linked the Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan and became a kind of festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. In order to commemorate Qu Yuan, the people wrapped glutinous rice in the leaves of rice dumplings, threw them into the river, and fed the fish and shrimp. I hope that the fish and shrimp will be full of rice dumplings, and they will not eat Qu Yuan's body. This is also a kind of sacrifice, memory and respect for loyal people. "
