Two days later, Yin Qingfeng brought Wu Hongdu, Wu Yuanzhong and Wu Xixuan to see him off.

The warrior made the side of Wu Yuanshuang, who looked unwilling to accept, and the warrior made the newly adopted concubine, Hua Jiao Lady.

Outside the post station of Baqiao, after saying goodbye, the warrior waved the willow branches in his hand and got on the carriage with ease.

Looking at the convoy away, the warrior sighed.

The Hu clan or the family with strong Hu wind may not care about the misfortune between the uncle and the daughter-in-law, but the Wu clan cannot. This wrong thing has tortured the second brother for many years, and it may be a good thing to let go now. It is just this departure...

He turned around and grabbed the hands of Wu Hongdu and Wu Shouguan, and said with anticipation: "You Aye want to go back to your ancestral land to take care of your tribe. You must not only be at ease to learn with the Master, but also learn the Master's abilities."

"Hongdu, the guardian is obeying his uncle's teachings."

The two little guys replied in unison.

Today is a day of separation and a day of reunion.

Since the Xia and Shang dynasties, Chinese people communicated with heaven and earth through divination and sacrifice, and worshiping the moon was one of the forms.

The above records: "The emperor's spring sun, autumn sun moon", and the evening moon is the sacrifice to the moon.

The word Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in the above saying: "In the middle of the autumn, we should nourish the aging and eat porridge."

Because the moon in mid-autumn is particularly bright, from the emperor to the people, gradually began to use this day as the main date for worshiping "bi gatherings" in the year.

Since it is a worship, there must be a sacrifice.

Because it is just a spontaneous behavior, there are three animals such as cattle, sheep, and pigs, but there must be food made from fruits and grains. It is rare among the grains, so the food made from wheat flour is considered the top offering.

However, Mid-Autumn Festival as a festival has not yet been fixed, and the mooncakes that are well-known in later generations have not been released.

In modern times, candlelight dinners are very romantic, but in the Tang Dynasty, where candles are lit every day, there is no romance at all. However, there are always ways.

Yin Qingfeng and four little girls placed burning candles on and around the big round table in the yard. Once this scene was arranged, it attracted the beautiful girls to cheer and jump. Except for the extremely luxurious home, no one lit so many candles at once.

In addition to this romantic candlelight, there are vases filled with roses in the middle of the table.

After all the seats were over, Yin Qingfeng said, "I have been neglecting something before, and I have to compensate you for this matter quickly."

Yin Qingfeng's remarks puzzled the beauty: "Complete us? Is it very good to us? What compensation is needed?" "That's right, Yueli is very happy here." "We are too."

Yin Qingfeng answered their doubts: "Yuemei and I have the same birthday on the same day, but I have never asked you any questions and cared about you. This is a great sin for a determined man to become a good man! You must be compensated."

While speaking, he also acted as if he was seriously guilty.

"Langjun..." "Brother..."

As a result, Zhongmei was knocked down by Yin Qingfeng's ultimate move.

"Okay, what's so exciting about this? They are all my people. If you don't treat you well, who am I good to? Come on, sister Yueli, come here and hug you. Don't cry!"

Yin Qingfeng, who caused trouble, took the opportunity to eat tofu in a hurry.

"Lai Yuemei helps me remember everyone's birthday."

The stars are on the first day of the second month, the moon is on the sixteenth day of May, and the fish girl is on the fourteenth day of October.

"I really envy Sister Yuemei." "Sister Yuemei is destined to be with Langjun." "Brother, Yueli also wants to live with her brother."

Xiangcheng in his arms said while twisting around.

"Okay, okay, it's awkward."

"Hehehehe."

Yin Qingfeng asked, "Do you know the meaning of the flowers in this bottle?"

The four girls shook their heads together, "I don't know~~~"

"Let me tell you~~~This red represents passion and love; pink represents touching and liking your bright smile; white represents innocence, purity, respect and humility; flower buds represent beauty and youth.

I wish you eternal enthusiasm, happiness, innocence and beauty! I wish you youth forever and smile!”

Speaking of some, Yin Qingfeng held the vase full of flowers in his hand and shouted loudly: "What color do you want!"

"White!" "Red looks good!" "All of Yueli~~~"

After three days of peace, Han Qi brought the model to the villa.

Yin Qingfeng, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, suppressed his curiosity until Yuemei finished class and asked someone to open the box.

There are ten pieces of ceramic tiles in the box, and there are layers of straw between each two pieces.

When the first piece is placed on the table, it wins a burst of exclamation.

The cyan tiles are about three centimeters thick, with a bas-relief phoenix head pattern on them.

Phoenix and Phoenix are a kind of auspicious pattern that later generations are well-known, and they do not distinguish between phoenix and phoenix too carefully.

"Xiao Shao is nine times, and the phoenix comes to Yi", Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty read "Yi" as "Ode", which means "Yi, which means that they are multiplied with each other." That is, the phoenix comes in pairs and comes to dance.

Because the phoenix is ​​famous for its good dance, it is also called the "dance bird".

: "There is a bird, its shape is like a crane...it is called a phoenix...it is a bird, drinking, eating, singing, dancing, and seeing it will bring peace to the world."

The earliest records of phoenix come from oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The characters in these two characters are almost all in the shape of flower crowns, with plump wings and long tail feathers, and wide and powerful claws, showing a brave and powerful mood.

The phoenix patterns on bronze ware in Shang and Zhou dynasties: The phoenix crown is divided into three types: multiple toothed crowns, long crowns and flower crowns. Any bird body with a hooked beak can be called a phoenix, and most of the bird beaks are closed and hook-shaped. The eyes on the head are mostly round or oval, and the phoenix body is a bird body or a chicken body.

The tail feathers are rich in variations, including long tail, drooping tail, split tail and symmetrical conjoined tail. The long tail of the long tail phoenix pattern can reach three-quarters of the bird's body.

Most of the phoenix patterns in this period were majestic, solemn and steady, showing the strict hierarchical, solemn and conservative atmosphere of the slave society and the aesthetic taste of the time. They were not only used as a practical totem mark, but also gradually promoted to form a beautiful artistic image.

During the Warring States Period, the phoenix patterns began to become graceful, charming, and soft.

During the Qin Dynasty, the phoenix pattern had a strong temperament and a strong atmosphere of life. Its image was either stalking proudly, majestic, or spreading its wings, showing a flowing, strong, and vibrant vitality. From the past, it gradually developed into a concrete portrayal of the image based on abstract lines, it became increasingly realistic; from the past, the mysterious form with strong colors, it added a lot of life interest and decorativeness.

The Han Dynasty was an important period of formation of traditional Chinese culture, and the phoenix culture achieved great development during this period.

From a cultural perspective, the only respect for Confucianism, the Han Dynasty followed the spread of Chuxu and Taoist thoughts, which made the spiritual culture of the Han Dynasty bear the cultural genes of precious jade and respecting phoenixes, which became the driving force for the popularity of jade phoenix patterns in the Han Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the bird body was "five and six feet tall" and "five in height in the 17th year of Jianwu, five phoenix emperors were seen in Shaanxi County, Yingchuan." The note quoted: "The phoenix is ​​eight feet tall". However, it is said: "The phoenix emperor is two feet tall."

The phoenix body characteristics described by the Han Dynasty have one thing in common, which is the extraordinary size of the phoenix body: from five to six feet tall to more than one meter.

In the stone tomb of Han Dynasty, there are symmetrical birds and beasts carved on the head of the tomb door. The birds with crowns and wings are spread. They are like phoenixes, which are intended to be Chongming birds. They believe that they can drive away ghosts and demons, so they are used to decorate the tomb doors like dragon patterns.

These phoenix birds are generous in shape, with their chests stretched out their wings, and they are swaying with great gaze. The phoenix bird patterns of the Han Dynasty fully reveal the dynamics and momentum of the image, and show the overall sense of capacity, the speed of the linear shape, and the power of change everywhere.

Most of the phoenix patterns in the Han Dynasty were used in suitable shapes according to different decorations.

From the perspective of style characteristics, the jade phoenix pattern of the Han Dynasty not only stabilized the typical characteristics of the jade phoenix pattern during the Warring States Period, but also broke the old rules in the shape and decoration, cleverly penetrated the artistic style of the Han Dynasty. The concrete phoenix pattern has stable changes and coexisted diversity; the abstract phoenix pattern is bold and innovative, and is more freehand. The two correspond to the real and virtual, complement each other.

Wang Jiazhong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded: "Yao was reigned for 70 years... There was a country with a stern family, and a bird that was offered to the Ming Dynasty... It looked like a chicken, cried like a phoenix, and could chase away beasts, tigers and wolves, so that demons and evil spirits could not harm... Before it arrived, the people of the country either carved wood or cast gold. For this bird's shape, they were placed between the doors, and the evil spirits and ugly people naturally retreated."

In the Tang Dynasty, the shape of the phoenix patterns became more "bird-like". Many phoenix patterns on the bronze mirrors sang and danced lightly, making them full of business and full of joy.

The pairs of "phoenixes" with local immortal meanings are paired with a ribbon or auspicious grass with a "concentric knot" on their mouths. The harmony of the songs symbolizes happiness and happiness. This nature is closely related to the material and cultural words of the glorious Tang Dynasty, reflecting the atmosphere of singing and dancing rising to peace.

In addition, the phoenix patterns appearing in the Tang Dynasty headdresses and the Dunhuang Buddhist caves can be seen that the Tang Dynasty phoenix patterns further harmonize people's life interests. For example, on the golden hairpin and flower crowns decorated with women's heads, the phoenix patterns reflect the taste of the times with their unique plump looks.

The decorative art of the Song Dynasty focuses on meaning in terms of conceptual form, and the pattern of phoenix birds is also auspicious and fulfilling folk thoughts and aura, such as the "phoenix plays with peonies" during the Zhenghe period, "a hundred years of harmony", and "happy meeting" patterns have gradually become a stylized expression, and the beautiful connotation of the phoenix meaning was fully utilized during this period.

The phoenix patterns in the Song Dynasty were relatively delicate, realistic and delicate, and they liked to use soft lines to show a happy mood. Specifically, the crown on the head of the phoenix is ​​in a good shape, with a short and thick mouth, slender eyes, long legs, loose strips and long tails, and each scale feather is carefully depicted.

The phoenixes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were different again.

The phoenixes of this period were mutated based on the vermilion bird and the phoenix. The bird was originally mutated with a long-legged snake neck, and the beak was obviously eagle-shaped, with sharp eyes, flesh-shaped rooster comb and peacock-shaped three-feathered giant tail. Later, after development and change, the male mandarin duck wings were attached to the same part of the phoenix, etc., becoming the image of today's phoenix.

In the silk decoration themes, there are cloud phoenixes, group phoenixes, flower phoenixes, etc., and they are linked to the meaning of auspiciousness to express beautiful wishes.

Over the long thousands of years, phoenixes and phoenixes have different shapes due to the changes in people's aesthetics, but what did the ancients evolve them based on?

There is an explanation for Phoenix's so-called "benevolence, betrayal, repay loyalty, and be righteous":

"A wood acts benevolence and turns green. The phoenix head is green, so it is called "being benevolence."

The meaning of gold behavior is white. The phoenix neck is white, so it is called the meaning of tassel.

Fire acts as ritual, which means red. The phoenix's mouth is red, so it is called ritual.

Water acts wise and is black, and the phoenix breasts are black, so it is called knowledge.

The earth acts as faith, and it is yellow. The phoenix's feet are yellow, so it is called faith."

Based on this, the mysterious statements of the Han Dynasty classicists were just a description of different colors of the body of the phoenix with the five elements symbols of Confucianism. That is, the head is blue, the neck is white, the beak is red, the chest is black, the back is black, the toes, and the claws are yellow.

Later generations compared the similarities and differences between ostrich and phoenix:

1: The Australian ostrich has three toes on the feet. The foot is Tong. This can explain the origin of Tong Sanzu Wu.

2: The phoenix has five colors, and the colors are mainly black. It also has different types, and there are gray, blue, white, brown, and red colors. Black and blue are the main colors, so it was also called "blue bird" in ancient times.

The colors of ostrich are mainly black, with gray, blue, white, brown and red.

3: The phoenix is ​​tall, about seven or eight feet tall. The large ostrich is also about two or seven or eight feet tall.

4: Ostrich females, and the males have different body colors. The males are blue and green. The females are mainly brown and yellow. The legendary males are blue and green. The females are yellow, so they are called "Phoenix". Phoenix is ​​yellow.

5: The thick ostrich hooves can prevent heat transfer and prevent the feet from being burned by hot sand. Ancient Chinese also believed that the phoenix was a kind of "yangwu" and "fire spirit bird", and there was also the legend of the phoenix's nirvana.

6: According to zoologists, ostrich loves to listen to music and has a high appreciation for music rhythms. They are also very good at dancing. Their daily walking gaits are like arrogant gentlemen. Whenever the courtship period comes, male ostrich and female ostrich must dance with a long-term manner. Therefore, I think that ostrich is the legendary "colorful phoenix bird" that "sings themselves".
