Ta Ge is a primitive song and dance that has been passed down since ancient times.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Volume 5: Ancient Music" records: In the past, Getian's music was played by three people playing oxtails and singing the Eight Ques. Among them, touyu song means to sing and dance according to the rhythm of the music, using the foot on the ground as the beat.

In this dynasty, the late emperor Ruizong directly regarded the step song as an entertainment program during the Shangyuan Festival: three hundred people danced with sleeves, and the sound of lyrics was heard in the sky for a while.

Under the giant lantern wheel of Anfu Gate, hundreds of palace maids in splendid clothes and with red hair were singing and dancing to their hearts' content. The fragrance of powder could be smelled from a distance.

In addition, the imperial court also selected more than a thousand young girls from Chang'an and Wannian counties to gather here and take turns singing and dancing for three days and two nights to show the joy of all people.

"What a luxury."

Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.

Under the bright lights like daylight, the girls sang and danced, wearing flower crowns, Xiapa, and colorful Luoqi clothes. The whole body cost at least one hundred thousand dollars, and all of this money was funded by the court. It was said that it would cost nearly half a year's tax of a state. .

"Lu Qing was joking."

Mrs. Guo Guo stood beside Lu Li, holding the yellow gelding with one hand, and said fiercely: "This is far from the lamp tower in front of the Qin Zheng Wu Building."

The master craftsman Mao Shun cleverly thought of making silk ribbons and built a lantern tower with thirty rooms and a height of 150 feet.

Miss Qianrui had heard about this, saying that it cost Yongzhou a whole year's taxes, but she didn't know as much as Mrs. Guo. After all, the other party could enter and exit the forbidden palace at will -

Until tomorrow night, the lamp tower has been covered with a long cloth. No one knows what it looks like except the builder.

"Lu Qing doesn't know something. I went to find Mao Shun a few days ago. He said that there are pearls, jade, gold and silver hanging on the lantern tower. When the breeze comes, the sound becomes a rhyme, and the lantern looks like a dragon, phoenix, tiger, leaping leopard..."

Mrs. Guo insisted on coming, so Lu Li had no choice but to let her go. However, as the team expanded, the atmosphere became more lively.

However, she always stared at Lu Li's evil ghost mask, her eyes shining with light, as if her sight could penetrate it.

"When I first entered Chang'an, I specially asked Master Mao Shun to build another lantern and place a tree with hundreds of lanterns, eighty feet high. It is not far from the Xuanyuan giant lantern he built for the saint. It can shine brightly at any time."

After Lu Li heard this, he felt a little confused. He could only say that she was indeed Yang Taizhen's sister.

The saint is rich in the world, and the world is now at peace. It makes sense to build a lantern tower to make him happy. But what does she mean by building another lantern tower next to it?

But there was no reason for Li Longji not to know about such a big movement. Since he didn't stop it, he agreed to this transgression.

Recalling the previous words of Mrs. Guo's beloved maid, whom the sage called aunt, and the morning he said in front of envoys from various countries that he would fight for Yang Taizhen, Lu Li suddenly felt that everything was reasonable.

"Lu Qing, would you like to take a closer look?"

At this time, Mrs. Guo Guo extended an invitation and said with a smile: "If you are willing to go, I will light the lamp immediately."

"Mao Shun said that once this lantern tower is turned on, its light can be seen within a hundred miles, making the sun and moon dim."

This is not a boast. It is eighty feet high, that is, twenty-five meters, and built on a high hill. Tens of thousands of lights can light up at the same time. It can indeed achieve this level.

Ever since Mrs. Guo Guo's team joined, Miss Qianrui felt that her sense of presence had dropped sharply. She couldn't get a word in at all, and she didn't dare to speak casually for fear of offending the other party.

A brothel prostitute, a country lady.

The gap between the two was so huge that it made people despair. As for Qian Rui, she just wanted Lu Li to redeem herself and take her into her home as a concubine.

As for the official marriage of a good matchmaker, I dare not even think about it. The law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that a good and a bad person cannot be unmarried, and a prostitute in a brothel belongs to the low class.

In addition, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Li and Black Mane Ma's attitude remained the same, Miss Qian Rui would have wanted to find an excuse to leave.

"Ma'am, don't joke."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Li politely declined:

"Lighting up the lanterns all night will cost more than a million? Let's save it until tomorrow night, when all the officials will go up to the building to have a banquet and enjoy the lantern tree built with my wife's money."

After being in contact with her for so long, the quick-thinking Lu Li had already guessed what Mrs. Guo Guo was planning.

If her personality were less flamboyant and her behavior more dignified, she would definitely be regarded as a gift to men. Unfortunately, no one in the world can control her.

The most important thing is what this extremely beautiful lady just said... What does it mean that if you are willing to go, I will immediately order the servant to light the lantern tower.

In ancient times, there was King You of Zhou who used beacon fire to play with the princes, but now there is the lady of Guo who lights up lanterns to make Bo Luli smile?

I am not a praiseworthy person!

Of course, Mrs. Guo Guo didn't know that Lu Li had listed her as an untouchable person in her heart. While inviting Lu Li to watch the lanterns in the mansion, she stepped forward and greeted her slowly.

But with the maid riding on horseback to clear the way and show her identity, the forward speed is much faster. Although it cannot be compared with normal times, it is much better than moving at a snail's pace.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and even blows down stars like rain. BMWs and carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The sound of phoenix and flute moves, the light of jade pots spins, and fish and dragons dance all night long."

Not long after walking, a clear voice came. Lu Li suddenly became energetic, a smile appeared on his face, and he thought: I never expected that Pan Ming, you guy, would be so depressed inside. A cultural figure in Tang Dynasty costumes.

Aren't you afraid that other students will copy this poem? It’s not like there’s only one time traveler now!

"The lyrics of this song..." Miss Qianrui has studied poetry and lyrics quite a lot and couldn't help but praise: "It's very good."

As we all know in later generations, Tang poetry and Song lyrics are just a summary of representative literature. The predecessor of Cipai is Ququci in the early Tang Dynasty, also known as Shiyu.

Therefore, people in the Tang Dynasty were fully capable of appreciating Song poetry.

At this time, the next message came:

"The moth is a golden wisp of snow and willow, and the laughter is full of hidden fragrance. The crowd has searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place."

In fact, Pan Ming didn't know that Lu Li was snickering not far away, shaking his head and immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.

at the same time.

Andingfang, southeast corner.

The place is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it is very lively. After all, lighting lanterns is one of the most important activities in Buddhism.

The Buddha said that there are four things: firstly, be willing to give alms, secondly, cultivate one's character and conduct prudently, thirdly, observe the precepts and not violate them, and fourthly, light lamps in Buddhist temples.

Taking advantage of the craze of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the abbot of Qianfu Temple ordered the monks to open the middle door, distribute good food, preach Dharma, and invite passers-by to enter the temple to enjoy.

"Shaoqing, this should be right here." Yuan Zai said with a flattering smile on his face.

“In the fourth year of Xianheng Period of Emperor Gaozong, Prince Zhanghuai’s residence was turned into a temple by Li Xian, and that’s how Qianfu Temple came into being.”

Li Cake stood on the roof, watching the monks hand out small hand-written scrolls to the believers, and said calmly: "It has been seventy-one years since the third anniversary of the birth of the treasure."

On the side, Yuan Zai nodded silently, with many thoughts in his heart, and sighed: "Things have changed and people have changed."

Prince Zhanghuai, who built his residence as a temple, has passed away many years ago, and the great sage Zetian who ordered the execution of Prince Zhanghuai has also passed away. The monarchs and ministers in the temple have changed one after another, but this Buddhist temple remains the same.
