"I haven't slept for a long time, but I'm homesick for fishing songs": I didn't expect the night market of the ancients to be so fun.

The most popular TV series recently is, of course, Dream of China starring Liu Yifei. This TV series, which tells the story of "Three Sisters' Entrepreneurship", puts aside the face value of a fairy sister in the play. This drama's exquisite landscaping, service and lens language really fascinates the audience. Of course, what is indispensable is the description of the "night economy" of the ancients.

There is such a story in the historical note "The Record of the North Window", which describes the social anecdote of the Northern Song Dynasty-one night (when Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong was in power), he heard the sound of singing and laughing on the bamboo and silk in the palace and asked, "Where are we having fun here?" Imperial secretary said, "This folk restaurant is a fun place." The imperial secretary said, "Listen, official, the outside world is so happy that it is not as cold and desolate as my palace." Renzong said, "Do you know? Because I am so cold, I am so happy. "If I were a canal, it would be deserted." Thus, although Song Renzong is rich in the four seas, you are the son of heaven, but in the background of the prosperity of the "night economy", you can't help but sigh that you are deserted in the palace and envy the night market life outside the high wall.

Historically, the prosperity of ancient China night markets was a typical product of the development of productive forces, and the earliest night markets were recorded in the Han Dynasty. "Were"? There is a saying that there are "four markets a day" (morning market, big market, evening market and night market) in the Biography of Kong Fen. Although many people think that the real night market originated in the Tang Dynasty, Ni Genjin wrote a textual research on the night market in the Han Dynasty, pointing out that there were night market activities in the Han Dynasty. According to the archaeological interpretation of the portrait bricks of the Han Dynasty in the Sichuan Provincial Museum, it is inferred that some rural restaurants in Sichuan had night business activities in the Han Dynasty. Of course, there is another story about the earlier night market, which originated from the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. However, the relevant historical textual research is still inconclusive. However, regarding the night market in Qin and Han dynasties, it is not difficult to understand the economic basis of the night market in Han dynasty or already held from the perspective of the vigorous development of its commodity economy.

After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the word "night market" appeared in the poet's works, such as-

"The ferry wants dusk, and people return home to fight for the flow. Near Zhong Qingye Temple, far away from Jiangcun. Seeing the homesickness of geese and smelling the tears of apes. Alone outside Wan Li, the autumn moon is unbearable. " (Tang Jiazhou Secretariat Cen Can: Banan Zhouzhong Night Market)

Thousands of lights shine in the night market, and there are many tea guests in high-rise buildings. Watergate makes trouble with late tea merchants, and Qiaoshi drinks all night. Smoke cage cold water moon cage sand, night parking near Qinhuai restaurant. (Tang Gwangju Secretariat Wang Jian: "Send a message to the" xianggong "of Bianzhou Hu Ling")

"When you meet in Gusu, people will try their best to sleep in the river. There is little idle land in the ancient palace and many small bridges in the water lane. The night market is full of water chestnut sounds, boats in the river, full of exquisite silk. I know that I have not slept for a month, and I am homesick for fishing songs. " (Du Xunhe, a bachelor of Hanlin, Hou Liang: Send someone to visit Wu)

Although it was stipulated in those days that the doors of cities, squares and markets had to be closed at sunset, it was generally forbidden at night in cities, and even the burning of candles and lights was restricted. If anyone violated it, he would be punished. However, due to the development of commodity economy, officials intentionally or unintentionally banned it, which also made it prosperous.

The night market in the Tang Dynasty not only formed a fixed consumption market in cities and towns, but also was quite common in rural areas. With the appearance of the night market, lamp advertising became a new form of advertising for restaurants, restaurants and teahouses after the Tang and Five Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, the night market further developed and prospered. Bianjing art market in the Northern Song Dynasty sometimes went out in the early hours of the morning and dispersed at dawn, so it was called "ghost market". Most of the night market and the morning market are drinks and foods. Kaifeng night market has different foods for sale in season. According to records, there are 56 kinds in total.

"Pour turbid wine, and cherish the fleeting time" described in Meng Hua Lu. The intoxicating scene of "When will Yaqi Night Market Wear" (Southern Song Dynasty Huang Ji's "Partridge Sky") was considered as a common sight in Bianjing and Lin 'an that year. We can see from "Tokyo Dream Record" that "the night market didn't reopen until after midnight. If you want to go anywhere, you will know everything. ""It's mostly in the wine shops, not in the wind and rain, in the daytime, all night, and so on. " These descriptions of the night market in the book all tell the prosperity of the night market at that time, which makes people marvel and sigh. The night market in Song Dynasty is more lively and prosperous during holidays. As we all know, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that attached importance to cultural development, and there were quite a few holidays in that period. And every major festival, the night market may be directly extended to one night. Shangyuan Lantern Festival is a city full of lights and crowds, and it is rare to see the bustling scene for a long time.

It's no wonder that Chinese and foreign intellectuals such as Chen Yinque and Toynbee all regard the Song Dynasty as the era with the highest living standard in China's history.

during the yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, night markets flourished and declined. In the Yuan Dynasty, the country was short, and the country was banned by the sea, and the curfew system was re-implemented, which greatly suppressed the night market. During the Ming Dynasty, the night market was restored.

Although the night market in Ming Dynasty was not as grand as that in Song Dynasty, it seems that the night market in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is also very prosperous. Zhai Songji, a Ming Dynasty man, described the night market in Hangzhou: "Selling gold umbrellas reveals high standards, while Jiang Ou and Qing Mei are full of burdens. The scenery is still flat, and the streets are blowing and selling. " Tian Rucheng, a Ming Dynasty man, also praised the Hangzhou night market in "Notes on the Tour of the West Lake": "When trading lanterns, you can identify the authenticity of money, and you can't cheat." "Beiguan Night Market" by Gao Deyun, a Ming Dynasty, describes Hangzhou night market more concretely: "Beiguan night market is like a forest, which has been spread in China until now. Green bamboo shakes the moon in the wind, and the crimson sarong shines in the spring. Drinking in front of the building is accompanied by swimming, and returning to the lake to get drunk. It' s like a day, and the night will be deep if the bell is not moved. "

in the early years of the Qing dynasty, affected by the war, the night market was depressed, until the Kangxi period, the economy began to recover, and the night market gradually recovered. The Qing Dynasty continued the Ming Dynasty night market, which was only found in big cities. The Qing government implemented a strict curfew system. For example, the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty: Night Prohibition" stipulated: "Anyone who commits a curfew in Beijing at night will be punished by 31 minutes, after the bell is quiet, at 5 o'clock and before the bell moves. Second watch, third watch, fourth watch, offenders, fifty. Towns in other counties are reduced by one. " Therefore, the scale of the night market in the Qing Dynasty was also greatly affected.

Lang Shining, a famous court painter in the Three Dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, once created the "Map of Yangcheng Night Market" with the economic life of Guangzhou as the theme in the first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The title of this work "Map of Yangcheng Night Market" was drawn up by later generations according to the contents reflected in the picture. The perspective of the picture looks at Henan from the corner of the city wall. By the pub, a boy was selling goods to two other children. On the shore, a peddler was carrying a burden and holding a lantern. Another peddler was pushing a wheelbarrow and displaying the goods on the cart. Not far away, a vendor set up a stall on the spot against the wall.

However, it is worth noting that the men's clothes and hairstyles in the picture are all in the Ming Dynasty. Big-breasted, right-breasted, wide-sleeved, knee-length under, and hair wrapped in a towel at the top. In the painting, the desk table, legs and desktop are straight, with substitute wooden teeth, with double sides between the front and rear straight legs, and a single side between the left and right legs, which is a common flat-headed case in Ming Dynasty. When Lang Shining came to China, it was in the middle of Qing Dynasty, and the painting was signed in the first year of Qianlong, that is, 1736 AD. In principle, the reality will no longer have the characteristics of life in the Ming Dynasty. Some researches speculate that this painting describes the scenes of the Ming Dynasty, which may cater to the Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty.

in the late Qing dynasty, with the development of social economy, the night market became more prosperous. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, the area outside Qianmen, Beijing, was a very prosperous bazaar, where all kinds of shops and professional markets gathered. Some documents recorded: "Where gold, silver, jewelry and food are piled up like mountains, wine pavilions and singing halls, cheering and drinking, day and night are endless." Yu Qingyuan, a native of Qianlong, explained the degree of prosperity here in one sentence in "A Talk in the Spring". At this time, it has a 24-hour business record.

Shanghai, as the most prosperous one of the "five ports" where "treaty of nanking" opened, is even more prosperous. As early as July, 1872, Shenbao wrote a poem "The Bamboo Branch of the Foreign Field", which chanted: "The western regions moved to the city that never sleeps, and the spontaneous fire was brighter than the moon. People who live here don't believe in Jin Wu's prohibition, and they wander around listening to the five watches on the road. " (Yuan Hu's anonymous surname: Yang Chang Zhu Zhi Ci, Shen Bao, July 2, 1872) In October, 1873, a scholar wrote the preface to Pidgin according to the style of Wang Bo's preface to Tengwang Pavilion, in which the imitation sentence "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn water * * * sky is the same color" was written. ("Introduction to Pidgin", "Shenbao" on October 11, 1873) It can be seen that in the Shanghai Concession in the 1971s of 2119, it was already a scene of the night, and the night market became more and more popular.

After entering the 21th century, with the establishment of New China, especially after the 1981s, China ushered in a full-scale prosperity of the night market. Although it has been hindered by public health incidents in recent years, the night market is becoming more and more prosperous, more and more "fun" and more "fun" is still the general trend.
