The ancients had sleepwalked in the country of Hua Xu, and those who enjoyed it endlessly, now I miss it and look back with disappointment. Isn't it Hua Xu's dream? The eye is called Meng Hua Lu.
-Preface of Meng Yuan's Tokyo Dream of China Record
After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the Song Dynasty's patriarch Meng retired, he traced back to the prosperity of the past, from the layout of Tokyo, teahouses and restaurants, food and daily life to the seasons of the years, from singing and dancing to the customs of weddings and funerals. It can be said that opening the Record of Dreams in Tokyo can give a glimpse of the bustling corner of the Northern Song Dynasty, as if the life picture of the people in the Northern Song Dynasty were unfolding in front of us.
If you are a foodie, you must visit the Zhouqiao Night Market. The author describes: "Go out of Zhuquemen until Longjin Bridge, and go south from Zhouqiao, where you can have rice, boiled meat and dried breast ..." And so on. There are countless kinds of food, and it is open until midnight.
On the Lantern Festival, when thousands of trees are blooming in the easterly night, and BMW carving cars are all over the road, maybe I can meet the girl in the dim light. On the fifteenth day of the first month, when the mountain shed in Kaifeng was set up, tourists gathered, singing and dancing, and the music was noisy for more than ten miles, which was probably the grand scene of "having fun with the people" in Fan Zhongyan's mouth.
Dream of Tokyo is an important book that records the geographical scenery of Bianjing, Kyoto in the late Northern Song Dynasty, including urban layout, street corner lanes, inner city palaces, institutional settings inside and outside the palace, restaurants and shops in the capital, goulan tile houses and other places, which reproduces the commercial prosperity of the metropolis.
This paper introduces the management, fire fighting and transportation of the capital, the secular life in the capital, marriage and marriage, the customs and habits of various major festivals, etc., and reproduces the lifestyle of the people in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
As Meng Lao said, it is a pity that servants are afraid of immersion for a long time, and those who talk about their customs lose sight of the facts. Please keep in mind the compilation and compilation, and you can see the prosperity at that time when you open it several times.
Go shopping to eat midnight snack, enjoy words, play with paintings and watch zaju, and play here all day long, without feeling it.
Tokyo Dream Record, when opened, is a living picture of Qingming Riverside.
Hua Xu had a dream, and Meng Lao was far from alone. This book of Amway, shared with you, gives you a glimpse of the elegance of that year.
