How did the Lantern Festival in the four classical novels quarrel?

"There are thousands of trees in the east wind night, the wind blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of incense. The phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns, and the fish dragon dances all night. " The description of the Lantern Festival in the classic Water Margin is wonderful, and at the same time, the drama of fighting and fighting makes the Lantern Festival more lively.

The Water Margin describes three stories that happened in the Lantern Festival, especially the last story organically combines the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival with the drama of murder, which makes the Lantern Festival in the Water Margin look different.

The first story describes a midnight snack in Qingfeng Town. Sung River was arrested and Huarong Road made a scene in Qingfeng Village. In the thirty-third episode of Water Margin, "Song Jiang watched Xiao 'ao Mountain at night and made a scene in Qingfeng Village of Huarong Road", Song Jiang, who wandered around the rivers and lakes, went to Qingfeng Village and defected to his friend Huarong. Unconsciously, I have lived for more than a month. Look at the Spring Festival in Larkin. It's early and the Lantern Festival is near. The residents of Qingfeng Village are discussing lighting lamps to celebrate the Lantern Festival. In front of their King Temple, we set up a small Aoshan with flowers and 500 or 700 bowls of lanterns. In Diwang Temple, there are all kinds of social fires. A light shed was set up in front of every house, and lights were hung. There are all kinds of arts in the town. Although it is not as good as the city master, it is just a paradise on earth.

Now Sung River is drinking with Huarong Road in the stockade, and it is the Lantern Festival. On the solstice, the mystery was well done. Song Jiang said to Huarong, "I heard that there are lanterns in this town tonight, and I want to see them." Hua Rong said, "I wanted to watch the lights with my brother, but it was just right." It's just that I'm in the Ministry and I can't walk around. My brother and two or three people at home went to see the lights tonight and came back early. My brother stayed at home and had a family dinner to celebrate the festival. " Song Jiangdao: "The best." But early or late, the bright moon rises in the east. Exactly: the jade leaking copper pot is not urged, and the fire tree of Xingqiao is fully open. The Aoshan Mountain soars into the sky, out of sight of tourists.

That evening, Sung River and Huarong Road followed the ladder, and two or three followed Sung River slowly. When they saw the lights in Qingfeng town, they saw a light shed in front of every house, with lanterns hanging, and they couldn't remember the number. There are many stories painted on the lanterns, and there are also lanterns flying in Bai Mudan, and the lotus gives off strange light. Four or five people, arm in arm, came to the land king temple and looked at Xiao 'ao Mountain. How do they see good lights?

But see: "The stone goes through Shuanglong to play in the water, and the cloud reflects the crane in the sky. Golden lotus lamp, jade plum lamp, shake a piece of glass. Lotus lanterns and hibiscus lanterns are scattered with thousands of beautiful scenery. Silver moths compete for color, and both of them embroider fragrant balls. The snow willows are bright and the flowers are embroidered. Village songs and social dramas, lights and shadows compete. Weaver and silkworm slave, painting candlelight to entertain themselves. Although there is no beautiful melody, I wish you all the best. " Who would have thought that because Song Jiang went to watch the Lantern Festival night, he experienced a disaster. Also because Song Jiang was arrested, Huarong Road made a scene in Qingfeng Village, and Qin Ming nocturnal rubble field. I went straight to Yuping, wrote my name, and sent a letter of forgiveness at Danfengmen.

The second story is about the Lantern Festival in Daming Mansion. In the sixty-six chapters of The Water Margin, "Cui Yun Tower burns when it moves, and Wu Zhi takes Daming Mansion", Liangshan hero Yu Qilin Lu Junyi and desperate Shi Xiu are trapped in Daming Mansion prison, and Liangshan sends troops to rescue them, so the story of Cui Yun Tower burning Daming Mansion and outsmarting Daming Mansion in Lantern Festival is interpreted.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, there will be mysteries on the Shangyuan Festival. At dusk, lanterns are lit in every corner of six streets and three cities. There are social fires in the streets and alleys. This Lantern Festival, there is a poem to prove it: On May 3rd, the scenery in Beijing was good, and it rained early in Chu. Hibiscus never sleeps, and the land swarms out from Penglai Island. The night in Candle dragon Street is very cold, and people are singing and dancing happily. Five phoenix feathers help double northern finches, and six ao drives the back of three sacred mountains. The woman in red makeup stands under the curtain of Zhu, and the white-faced lang rides a purple horse. The flute is loud and the moonlight shines on the Yuanyang tile. The Cui Yun Tower has invaded the sky and traveled everywhere. If the lamp ball is bright, the prince and grandson will really not die. Tourists are still lingering, and the tall buildings are suddenly filled with clouds.

Just as the Lantern Festival in Daming Mansion was brightly lit, the moonlight was bright and tourists lingered, Liangshan military forces launched a sneak attack on Daming Mansion. But look: smoky cities, burning towers. Thousands of families are in danger, and three cities and six streets are difficult. Aoshan landslide, red light breaking glass. The house collapsed and the jade burned in flames. Front street puppets, no matter what they say. The back alley is clear, and the dragon wins the phoenix. Gray-haired Laozi, burning his white beard crazily. Green-haired loafers don't accept umbrellas when running. Beating the monk to death, the hemp girl was scared out of her wits. If you step on a bamboo horse, dancing with Bao Lao will inevitably hurt you. Like a flower girl, gold falls and jade collapses. Playing with the beautiful scenery, time flies. Buried in rubble, the balcony becomes a market in Zhu Rong. It's a pity that thousands of years of singing and dancing have become battlefields.

The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival turned into a martial arts drama in an instant, and the Millennium dance floor suddenly turned into a battlefield, showing the cruelty of the fighting between the two sides at that time. Therefore, later generations have a poem saying: "If you can't attack the city in the field, God will do wonders for the ghost. The star bridge is displayed with iron locks, and the fire tree and silver flowers are everywhere. The mansion was smashed to pieces immediately, and the tall building turned into Zhu Rong red. It is really difficult to control the dragon and tiger, but unfortunately the intelligence of Chinese books is poor. "

The story of the third Lantern Festival took place in the capital Tokyo. In Chapter 72 of Water Margin, "Chai Jin praised China for entering the forbidden hospital, and Li Kui jy made trouble in Tokyo at midnight", there is a sentence "Du Jiangchun", which describes the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month in the streets of Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty: "The first report is mixed, and the emperor is in early spring. Cui Zan is fighting for flying, Yule is fighting for the gate of the capital, Aoshan is tied with Penglai Island, and Ssangyong is photographed in the middle of the night. Go upstairs in crimson clouds, covered with red cheese, and look up at the sky. Vague. Legend has it that the emperor is happy, the jade palace is rewarded, and the immortals are here together. Fragrant fragrance, floating all over the world, smiling, the planet is small. Gradually screaming, the people in the lower reaches of the month return. "

This article entitled "Du Jiangchun" praised Emperor Daojun for spending the Lantern Festival and having fun with the people. At this time, the country is rich and the people are safe, and scholars are happy. That night, Song Jiang and Chai Jin pretended to be idle and cruel officials, and Dai Zhong, Li Kui jy and Yan Qing came straight from Wanshoumen. Although there is no night ban, all the leaders and sergeants are dressed neatly and used to wearing uniforms. The crossbow is wound and the sword is drawn, which is very neat. Gao Taiwei led five thousand fighters and war horses to patrol the city. It can be seen that public security in Beijing is very strict. So, Song Huizong Evonne came to the brothel of Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in Beijing, with great interest. As Song Huizong himself said, "I was lucky enough to go to the Qing Palace today, and asked the prince to give the royal wine in Xuande Building, and asked the royal brother to buy the market in the front gallery. Yang made an appointment with Tai for fear. I can't wait long. I'm coming. Ai Qing came to chat with me in the room.

In order to please the court, Song Jiang went to Beijing to find someone to open the back door. So he arrived in the capital of song dynasty on the 11th day of the first month. On the night of Lantern Festival, Song Jiang and Chai Jin pretended to be idle and cruel officials, and led Dai Zhong, Li Kui jy and Yan Qing to inquire for Li Shishi directly from Wanshoumen. When prodigal Yan Qing tried to bridge the gap, Li Kui jy, who didn't want to be a black whirlwind, was impatient. He even brought up the top spot and looked at Yang Taiwei's face. Yang Taiwei was taken aback and caught off guard, and two chairs fell to the ground. When Dai Zong came to save him, no one could stop him. Li Kui jy tore down calligraphy and painting, lit candles, set fire to it, and smashed incense tables, chairs and stools. Sung river and other three people listened to it, and when they came out, they saw that the black whirlwind had taken off half of its clothes and was committing crimes there. When the four men pulled out the door, Li Kui jy grabbed a stick from the street and went straight to Little Empire Street. Sung River saw his sexual orientation and had to drive out of the city with Chai Jin and Dai Zongxian. I'm afraid I can't get out of the forbidden door. Only Yan Qing stayed to look after him. Li Shishi's house caught fire, and Zhao's family left with a cigarette in their mouth. Neighbors and others rescued Yang Taiwei while putting out the fire. You don't have to say that. The whole city shouted ShaSheng, shaking the earth. At that time, "Zhao Guanjia was shocked and left with a cigarette." The capital of song dynasty lantern festival in Tokyo will be turned upside down. Although Song Huizong was embarrassed, it also failed Song Jiang's harness plan.

2. Romance of the Three Kingdoms

In the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a tragic story happened in the Lantern Festival in Xudu. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a generation of lean Cao Cao was in power in the ruling and opposition, and the emperor was forced to establish a vassal. The ruling and opposition parties were furious and regarded Cao Cao as a national thief. So the five ministers of the DPRK and China joined hands to prepare a crusade against Cao Cao on the night of the Lantern Festival, so as to remove the monarch. In the sixty-ninth chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ji Geng, Wei Huang, Jin Xian, Ji Miao, Jim and other five people planned to attack Cao Cao in Xudu on the fifteenth day of the first month. Five people swear to heaven that blood is the alliance, or they will die.

On the fifteenth night of the first month, the sky is clear in Wan Li, the stars and the moon are bright, and the lanterns in six streets and three cities are competing. No way, no way! The governor, Wang Shi, the commander of Kingsguard and the generals of Kingsguard will hold a banquet in the camp. After the second watch, I suddenly heard shouts in the camp, and someone reported to the camp and began to fire. Wang Bi hurried out of the account and saw flames rolling. I heard that there was a change in the camp and hurried out of the south gate. When I met Ji Geng, an arrow hit my shoulder and almost fell off my horse, so I looked at Simon and left. There are troops coming from behind. The king will be in a hurry and abandon his horse and walk. At one end of the golden gate, I knocked on the door in panic. It turned out that Jin Xian had people set fire to the camp, and at the same time personally led the servants and then helped, leaving only women at home. I heard the king knocking at the door at home, and I just called Jin Xian back. The wife asked through the door, "Did Wang Binna kill him?" The king was frightened, conspired with Jin Xian, and reported to Cao Xiujia that Jin Xianhe was an equal rebellion. Cao Xiu quickly mounted his horse and led thousands of people to repel the enemy in the city. There were four fires in the city, burning the Five Pagodas, and the emperor took refuge in the deep palace. Cao Shi's heart and abdomen minions, press the door of the palace. But the people in the city shouted, "Kill all cao thief's helpers!" However, these five people are one person after all. In the end, they were either captured by Cao Jun or died in the disorderly army, and their five families were all killed by Cao Cao. Not only that, Cao Cao also killed more than 300 officials by the Zhanghe River. On the night of Lantern Festival, many cities were littered with corpses and rivers of blood, which was the worst Lantern Festival in ancient times.

There is also a reference to the Lantern Festival in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, chapter 1 19 "False surrender is a false story, and then Zen will follow suit". In this chapter, it is said that General Zhong Hui of Wei will prepare for the Lantern Festival to take over the Central Plains and become emperor on his own. It turned out that after Zhong Hui led the army to destroy Shu Han, Shu Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui for a pretence to restore Shu Han's country. And encourage Zhong Hui to stand on its own feet. Wei said, "Recently, I heard that the Empress Dowager Guo died not long ago, so I pretended that the Empress Dowager had an imperial decree, so please punish her. According to the talents of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains can be swept away. " Zhong Hui said, "Bo Yue is a pioneer. After success, share wealth. " Jiang Wei said: "I am willing to help the dog, but I am afraid that the general will not listen." Zhong Hui said, "Tomorrow at the Lantern Festival, lanterns will be decorated in the Forbidden City, and you will be treated to a banquet. If you don't obey, kill it. "

On the second Tianyuan Lantern Festival, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei invited Wei Jun generals to dinner. After several rounds, Zhong cried with a cup in his hand. When the generals were surprised to ask him why, they would say, "Empress Guo is dying, and here is a will. Si Mazhao had no choice but to kill Yu Nan. Sooner or later, he will usurp Wei and ask me for it. You have your own names, and * * * makes it happen. " Everyone was frightened and looked at each other. Zhong Hui drew his sword and said, "Those who disobey orders will be beheaded!" Everyone was afraid and had to follow. When this painting is finished, Zhong will be trapped in the palace, and Yan Bing is forbidden to keep it.

But during the Lantern Festival, neither Zhong Hui nor Jiang Wei succeeded. Both of them died in the army. Later generations have a poem sighing at the bell meeting, saying, "My early name was Zaohui, and I was a doctor. The coup is to pour Sima, when the ovaries were there. Shouchun praised paintings, and Jiange showed eagles flying. If you don't learn from Tao Athena Chu, you will be sad for your hometown. " Another poem lamented Jiang Wei: "Tianshui prides itself on being handsome, and Liangzhou is a genius." From the father, art is to serve the marquis of Wu. Be bold and fearless, and ambition is gone forever. On the day of Chengdu's death, Han will have more sadness. "

3.[ Literary Works] Journey to the West

It was Tang priest and his disciples who saw the lanterns and met the rhinoceros, three rhinoceroses. Tang Priest and his disciples went to Ciyun Temple to be vegetarian. The abbot asked them to go to the city to watch the Lantern Festival. On the fifteenth night of the first month, the master and monks came to the city. Wukong found that the three golden lanterns of Golden Lantern Bridge were blown out by three goblins in Xuan Ying Cave of Qinglong Mountain, namely the King of Cold, the King of Summer and the King of Dust. They sucked up crispy sesame oil and swept the Tang Priest away. Monkey, Pig and Friar Sand had a fight with them, and Pig was dragged into the cave. Taibai Venus instructed the walker to invite four wooden birds and stars to help him, and the three demon kings showed their prototype three rhinoceros spirits.

4. A Dream of Red Mansions

Lantern Festival is written many times in A Dream of Red Mansions, and the Lantern Festival written by Cao Xueqin is symbolic. It's quite interesting to savor it carefully, from the beginning of the prosperous period of "boiling oil with fierce fire and flowers with brocade" to the declining period of "suddenly shaking like a building and suddenly fainting like a lamp". There are two places in the novel that are the first time. First place: "Yin Shi is very happy to see her daughter getting richer and richer. Reach out and hold her in your arms, hit her once, and take her to the street to watch the fun. " The "meeting" in the article is one of the activities of the Lantern Festival. Second place: "It was really easy when I was at leisure, and suddenly it was the Lantern Festival. Yin Shi asked his family, Hodge, to embrace a win-win situation and go to see the Shehuo Lantern. In this article, "Shehuo Lantern" refers to drum music, singing and dancing, acrobatics, lantern display and other entertainment activities on the streets of the Lantern Festival. It can also be seen that the people watched the grand occasion of the social fire lamp at that time.

On the eighteenth occasion, during the Yuan and Spring Dynasties, Princess Xiande was sent home to visit relatives, which was the Lantern Festival: "But Jia Fei sat in a sedan chair and looked at the scenery inside and outside the garden, nodding and sighing:' It's too luxurious and expensive!'" "..." Princess Yuan returned to the palace, made a riddle specially, and sent it to Jiafu for everyone to guess. Guess, everyone also sent one.

On the Lantern Festival, the old lady and her wife drank wine, watched a play, set off firecrackers and watched fireworks in the Grand View Garden, which was very lively until late at night. At this time, Xi-feng was very happy to see Grandmother Jia, and she said with a smile, "Why don't we pass on plum blossoms and make a set of instructions for' Spring is bursting'?" Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "That's a good order! It's time. " So everyone beat gongs and drums and spread plum blossoms. One beat the drum, and everyone handed flowers. As soon as the drums stop, they tell jokes to whoever spends them. In the game, Xifeng even told two jokes about "celebrating the first day of the first month": one was "the whole family also celebrated the first day of the first month, and the whole family enjoyed the lights and drank, which was really lively ... after drinking for one night, they broke up", and the other was "The deaf lit firecrackers". After telling the joke, Feng said, "Let the deaf set off firecrackers."

If the jokes told by Feng at the Lantern Festival indicate that the Jia family knows nothing about tomorrow today, they will be scattered like "the deaf set off firecrackers", which is consistent with the monk's first reading that "the Lantern Festival is over and the smoke should be extinguished". In fact, Jiafu began to decline. The fifty-third time I wrote about the Lantern Festival banquet, the Jia family rarely came.

Note: A Dream of Red Mansions quoted Weibo as "the ice force is infinite".
