B Huling only sells rice dumplings.

A Huling, who only sells rice dumplings?

B Hey, that’s right.

A taught two apprentices,

B, who are they?

A I am with my brother.

B What is your name?

A White sugar.

B Your brother?

A Chengzi’s.

B Are you two little zongzi?

A One day, my brother and I were stroking the leaves in the backyard.

B Oh, iron leaves?

A No, reed leaves.

B What do you do with the reed leaves?

A, you can handle it well.

B It’s still rice dumplings.

A: Brushing iron leaves.

B That’s right.

My master A called us two brothers, "Yeah! My eldest apprentice! Yeah, where is my second apprentice?"

Why did B ask his apprentice to say "Yeah?" "of?

A, press it hard and it will be solid.

B Or rice dumplings?

My brother and I came to the front courtyard and gave my master a fist in the air: "Master, where do you want us two brothers to use it?" My master asked: "You two brothers have practiced this Kung Fu." How's it going?"

B cares about them.

A My brother is speechless.

B People are cautious.

A I said, "It's done!"

B It's done? This is too big a statement.

A When I said "It's done", my master got angry.

B That’s not annoying.

A "What? It's done? You guys, your fetal hair is still dry, your yellow teeth are still wet, how dare you say it's done? Master, I've been practicing for more than half my life, but I dare not say it's done."

B Yes.

A: "You can't do this, okay, I won't teach you, master."

B: I'm annoyed.

A "Hey! Master, you don't want to teach anymore."

B: Say goodbye.

A: "My lord, I don't want to learn anymore."

B: Do you call your master "my lord"?

A The words are packed there.

B What kind of behavior is this?

A My master got angry and left.

Where are you going?

A arrived outside Beijing’s Qianmen, the food store and the Huiyou escort shop signed up for us brothers.

B What are you doing?

A Let us two be bodyguards.

B Bodyguard?

A One day, my brother and I were passing each other around in the back garden.

B: Do you still want to learn "Luo Cheng"?

A suddenly heard someone knocking on my firewood door,

B it was over when someone called the door.

A "Who's raiding the house outside?"

B What is "household settlement"?

A There is a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I took a look: it turned out that the escort agency outside the front door asked us brothers to be escorts. When we heard this, the day came for us to show our faces.

B Yes.

Can A not go? My brother and I packed our bags and took them with us. When we arrived at Huiyou Escort Shop, a food store outside Qianmen, there was an old dignitary standing at the door. He was in his eighties, with a long beard, and he was full of energy. He led more than thirty people, and they were all tall and short, fat and thin, fat and tall, thin and energetic, and even coughing could kick their legs.

B What’s the sound?

A "Bang - bang!"

B Is anyone coughing like that?

A The old dignitary said: "I didn't know that the two escorts arrived, but I didn't go far to greet them. I forgive you in person."

B What did you say?

A I said: "How dare you, how dare you, our family came here recklessly, Mr. Tian, ??please forgive me."

B Is this you?

A "Golden Terrace".

B Why are you singing "Golden Terrace"?

A offended the theater fans.

B Don’t be a theater fan.

A holds hands and invites you in. When I got to the backyard, I took a look like this - there was a building, more than three feet high, with no stairs.

B How to get up there?

A Jump up from the ground.

B What if you jump up?

A Eat and drink.

B Can’t jump up?

A can’t even drink water.

B This is a test of your ability.

Old official Jia cupped his fists and said, "You two, I'll see you at the top." He took off his clothes and scarf, and did an "eight-step rush", three vertical steps, "噌噌嗌嗌!" When he got to the bottom of the building, he Stomping your feet - "噌"!

How about B?

A went up.

B This is called the handle.

A My brother, without moving his nest, came to a dry land to pull out radishes, and when he lifted them, he went "poof"!

B Stop! Don't be "miserable"! Just wait! What's that called? "Plucking carrots on dry land"? That skill is called "pulling onions on dry land".

A What’s not planted underground?

B That won’t work. That skill is called "pulling onions on dry land".

A I rely on you to pluck radishes and onions on dry land.

B What are you doing with radish and green onions?

A: Half of you, half of me.

B No! You have to pull radishes on dry land... No, no! Pull onions. I was so angry that I talked nonsense.

As soon as A mentioned the slip, he also went up.

B This is called martial arts.

A It’s time to look at me. People with high skills are bold. Aren’t they more than three feet tall?

B Yes.

A Here’s a trick.

B What’s the trick?

A Whirlwind Kick, "Ba! Ba! Ba! - Day!" It's so energetic that it's time to go to the house.

B is coming to the room.

A Shoes.

B Shoes? Why did the shoes come to the room?

A Oh, no shoelaces?

B Ding turned into a stupid boy. (Pushing armor) Have you ever practiced? You almost fell down with one push?

A He... It's not that I didn't guard against you.

B Never heard of it. Which martial artist is about to fight - "You wait first! I will defend first." Is that true?

A I forgot.

B Not so good.

A I said: "Here comes someone!"

How about B?

A "It takes enough shoes to carry a ladder."

B He can really say it.

A The ladder stood there, and I climbed up.

B This is an improvement.

A Take off your shoes and put them on. When I got inside, I saw that a whole lamb dish was ready. After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the old official started talking to us brothers.

What did B tell you?

A “I’m asking you two to come out this time for no other reason than to serve as bodyguards.

Someone dares to protect the East Road Guard, West Road Guard, and South Road Guard. There are too many escorts and too many talents on the North Road alone. Do you two dare? "

B What did you say?

A "Old official, shut up! The majesty that Xiuchang bestows on others destroys the spirit of our two brothers. "

B That's right.

A "Aren't there thieves in the north? "

B goes forward to meet him!

A "Run to the south. "

B Hey! Running around? That's outrageous!

A I said: "Go forward to meet him. "

B: That's right.

A: The old official clasped his fists: "You two, see you below." "With a small step, he jumped up to the window and somersaulted, his feet were as solid as four taels of cotton.

B This is so light.

A, my brother will do it

Yi jumped down.

Jia Gulu came down.

Yi! Why did Gulu come down?

A is crawling Go up.

B is right next to each other.

A is not right next to me.

B is not close to me. Yes. Would "Gulu" be faster than walking?

Why don't you come earlier today?

I am "Gulu". "What's going on here? Is it a joke?

A" Please give me a sweat. ”

What’s wrong with B’s “excessive sweating”?

A will practice and see how our brothers’ kung fu is doing. My brother took a cup of big gun from the weapon rack. Come on.

A: This is like a knife.

B, please put it down. Is this a fan? Ah.

A, you know?

B, I know.

For example, it’s a knife.

B is a knife, your knife is too small?

A can’t help it, I don’t have the real knife with me.

A It’s my turn to become famous.

B What?

A "Gala" a thunder, "shuashuashuashuashua" - it started to rain.

B Oops! That can't be practiced.

A Don’t practice? The ground is paved with loess, which is slippery when it rains. If you don't pay attention, you might get a bump on your butt? Then show your eyes to my master Jiang Mi and Xiao Zaoer.

B Don’t mention that “old rice dumpling”.

A: There is no one who cannot practice this for ten or eight years. This is called "Dengping crossing the water" and "walking on the drum and soaking in cotton".

B Qinggong.

A The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the more I play, the happier I am. What I practice is that it is impervious to wind and impermeable to rain. Jing Jing saw that the light of the sword did not see me, and the water flowed down along the sword. There was not even a raindrop on my body.

B Are you practicing swordsmanship at the academy?

A is taking shelter from the rain in the house.

B Hey. Where's the knife?

A is thrown into the courtyard.

B. What if the knife is sprayed but not the person?

A This old official is so applauded!

B Under the dark pearl agate.

A There are also Japanese melon seeds.

B There are also Japanese melon pulp!

A. Dig out the Japanese melon seeds and pulp, put pearl agate inside, separate them with bamboo sticks, and seal them with loess mud. It's famous.

B What’s your name?

A This is called "Japanese melon escort".

B Japanese melon escort?

A gets out of the escort car and calls the escort trip.

B Who shouts?

A I am shouting.

B Can I listen?

A Yes.

B How to shout?

A shouted like this: "Hey! That old Japanese melon is here!"

B You can sell it outside. It should be "showing off one's strength".

A is shouting "show off your strength"!

B That’s right.

A. Go out of Qihua Gate, pass Dongyue Temple, Jiuting Palace, Shiba Valley, and Bali Bridge to Tongzhou. Entering the west gate and exiting the east gate, Lihe, Waihe, Sanhe County and Jizhou under Yanjing arrive at Xifengkou. According to my brother, he lives in a hotel.

B It’s time to take a rest.

A I said: "We can't do it right now. It's the first time for the bodyguard to travel overnight." The escort car moved forward for forty or fifty miles, and there was a stretch of sand in front of it. The escort carriage crossed the Shaliang, and there was a dense pine forest in front of it. Listening to the sound of "squeak--snap!" and the sound of an arrow, "chonk, bang, bang, bang..." and the sound of a gong, it turned out that there were thieves ahead.

B It’s over if there are thieves.

A When my brother heard that there was a thief ahead, he wanted to go forward to meet him. I said: "Brother, if you have something to do, I will do my best. Why use a butcher's knife to cut a chicken?"

B Yes.

A "My little brother is going to die."

B Hey...that's wrong! The younger brother caught the thief and died.

A One of us has to die anyway? "Hey! Bring me my cow."

B Wrong again, I rode a horse into battle!

A Hey, riding a bull can be an antique.

B Which ancient person do you imitate?

A Sun Pang was fighting for his wits. Wasn’t Sun Bin riding an ox?

B Oh, it’s a cow. That book talks about sacred cows.

A Ah...I am a precious cow.

B It is said that he is an ox who can soar into the clouds and ride the mist.

A I am such a good jumper.

B Can you jump? How far can one jump?

A Forty.

B Where are the two jumps?

A Eighty.

How many years have you bought it?

A Six years.

How many times has B jumped?

A has never jumped.

B Okay! Waste cow.

A Waste cow? Jumped over.

B What time is it?

A One year my mother was ill and wanted to eat Tongzhou sauce tofu, so I had to use my cow.

B What?

A Tongzhou is forty miles away from Beijing. I arrived in one hop and came back in two hops. What a hassle-free thing.

B The round trip takes less than five minutes.

A Hey, I’ll hold the calf in my arms and run to the Xiwumen Bridge.

B What are you doing holding the cow? So silly, how about riding a cow when you go out?

A. Jumping when you go out? no.

B What?

A Tongzhou is 40 years away from Beijing, where do we count? Xihuamen Bridge.

B Hey, let’s count from there.

A We live in Xidan Archway, which is ten miles away from Xihua Gate. How can we just dance when we go out? Can't reach it by jumping.

B Those two jumps?

A, that’s too much,

B, if you’re such an awesome person, the standard is 40?

A Hey. Arrive at Seibu Bridge and straighten it out. I said to it: "Cow, cow, my mother wants to eat Tongzhou Sauce Pork. Once she jumps, she will be there, and after two jumps, she will be back. You are loyal and I am filial." The calf nodded. I flew onto the cow and hit the cow's hip bone with two whips: "Pah, pah!"

The calf was not allowed to be beaten, so when I heard the sound of "Moo'er!", I felt cold all over my body. When I opened my eyes again, I couldn't see the Seibumen Bridge.

B Have you arrived in Tongzhou?

A I fell into the river.

B Jumping around?

A. Jumping around? There is a mud pit and you still need to jump?

B jumped over.

A I hugged it.

B Ouch!

A "Carry my pole!"

B Wrong again. Lift your gun or knife.

A Hey, the shoulder pole is also made in an antique style.

Who is B?

A "Strike Zhujiazhuang three times", wasn't Shi Xiu using a carrying pole?

B Yes, it’s a shoulder pole.

A I am riding on a pole and holding the cow.

B Hey...wrong! It’s riding an ox and holding a pole.

A Anyway, it’s these two things.

B This is also true.

A arrived in front of the two armies and rushed to the thieves with a fist in the air.

B The rules of the world.

A "What a thief, what a thief! What a thief, uncle!"

B Why do you call a thief an uncle?

A If I sue him, won’t he let me pass?

B Where is that happening?

A That’s a cruel thief. He doesn’t listen to this and urges his horse to swing his stick. As soon as I saw the stick arriving, I held up the pole to greet it and heard a "click".

B Did the stick fly?

A The pole is broken.

B Did the pole break? It’s over.

A Is it over? The gun was revealed.

B Where are the guns?

A Hey! The cow and the horse are in the wrong stirrups.

B No! Two horses and one wrong stirrup.

A I am riding an ox.

B Yes! I forgot about this.

A I'll give him a "returning gun".

B What? Return to the horse... By the way, you are riding an ox.

A shot missed the target, allowing the thief to hold the tip of the gun. "Bring it! Give it to me!" He had one hand and I had two.

B Yes.

A "What? For you?"

B No!

A "No more."

B No more? Why not?

A. Not as energetic as him?

B Okay!

A I am a calf who can jump forty, so where can I go after me?

B That’s right.

A I said: "Calf, jump!"

B Jump!

A Unlucky.

B What’s wrong?

A not only stopped jumping, but pressed back, "Moo! Moo!"

B It's over now.

A At this time, the thief circle horse is back again. The stick has arrived again. I said: "Yes! My life is over!"

B It's over.

A When I touch my back, I feel happy again. There are two swords behind my back, they can protect my life. "Ouch! Ouch!" With the two swords out of their sheaths, I flicked my bull's head, and the bull's head was pointed at the horse's face.

B Okay, City God’s Temple?

A knocked the thief's stick away with his left hand, and used his right hand to do a "moon from the bottom of the sea". Just after hearing a "crack", a red light appeared, blood flowed, and the big head rolled around on the ground.

B Did you kill the thief?

A I slaughtered the cow.

B Slaughter the cow?

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival in China was first a festival to worship the river god and beg for harvest before Qu Yuan appeared. Because there is still a saying of "Dragon Boat Festival" in the Yangtze River area, that is, there will be floods caused by heavy rains before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. The ancients believed that floods were the result of the anger of the river god. In order to prevent the Dragon Boat Festival floods from washing away the seedlings and other things, a series of sacrificial activities were held to hope that the river god would be happy and the grain would be abundant.

In addition, this time is usually the plowing and rice transplanting season for farming (in ancient times, the Yangtze River Basin was a single-crop rice, and rice rice was usually transplanted around the Dragon Boat Festival). You often need to soak in water. Drinking rice wine can effectively remove rheumatism. According to legend, rice wine is a wine given by the gods. Slowly, I formed the habit of drinking rice wine during this period. These are not formed in commemoration of Qu Yuan, that is, China already had the term Dragon Boat Festival before Qu Yuan threw himself into the river. It is just that Qu Yuan's throw into the river made people remember this day more, and it also added eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, and hanging. Ways of celebration such as moxa leaves.

To commemorate Qu Yuan, this idea first came from the records of Wu Jun of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, "Xu Qi Xie Ji" and "Jing Chu Sui Shi Ji" of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is said that Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and was trapped by dragons after his death. People mourned his death and threw colorful silk rice dumplings into the water on this day to drive away the dragons. It is also said that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, local people immediately rowed boats to rescue him after hearing the news. They rowed all the way to Dongting Lake, but Qu Yuan's body was not found. At that time, it happened to be a rainy day, and the boats on the lake gathered together at the pavilion on the shore. When people learned that they were salvaging the virtuous minister Qu, they went out in the rain again and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to express their grief, people went boating on the rivers, and then it gradually developed into dragon boat racing. 'It seems that eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival are related to the commemoration of Qu Yuan. There is a poem "Dragon Boat Festival" by Wenxiu of the Tang Dynasty as evidence: "Who said that the festival is divided into Dragon Boat Festival? It has been rumored to be Qu Yuan through the ages. It is ridiculous that the Chu River is empty and cannot be washed away. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, a loyal minister of the state of Wu, died of injustice and became the god of waves. People mourned and worshiped him, so there is a Dragon Boat Festival. This legend is widely circulated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wu Zixu was a member of the Chu State, and his father and brother were killed by the King of Chu. Later, Zixu abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and rushed to the Wu State to help Wu attack Chu. After five battles, he entered Yingcheng, the capital of Chu. At that time, King Ping of Chu was dead, so Zixu dug up the grave and whipped three hundred corpses to avenge the death of his father and brother. After the death of King Helu of Wu, his son Fucha succeeded to the throne. The Wu army had high morale and won every battle. The country of Yue was defeated. King Goujian of Yue asked for peace, and Fucha agreed. Zixu suggested that the Yue Kingdom should be completely wiped out, but Fu Chai refused to listen, and the Wu State slaughtered him. He was bribed by the Yue Kingdom and framed Zixu with slanderous words. Fu Chai believed it and gave Zixu a sword, and Zixu died with it. Zixu was a loyal man and regarded death as home. Before he died, he said to his neighbors: "After I die, dig out my eyes and hang them on the east gate of Wu Jing to watch the Yue army enter the city and destroy Wu." Then he committed suicide and died. After hearing this, he was furious and ordered Zixu's body to be packed in leather and thrown into the river on May 5th. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also the day to commemorate Wu Zixu.
