We are ready to carry the goods, nine o'clock exactly out of the house. On the way I walked and thought: what is in the temple fair? Is it the same as the temple fair over there in Shandong? Unconsciously fell into the beautiful memories ...... suddenly pushed by mom, which came back to reality, oh, dad has bought tickets, ready to lead us in.
Entering the drowning city paradise, I was attracted by the sound of the water, follow the sound of the look, "high mountains and flowing water" four big words into the eyes, the water is really flowing down from the mountain, hitting the rocks under the mountain, really live up to its name ah. Interestingly enough, the bronze statue of a thief stealing a bell, which is carved in a perfect way, the thief inside seems to be very frightened, left and arm over the two ears, the right hand in the theft of the bell. When I saw the bronze statue of the thief, I immediately identified the man who was playing yu, his expression was different, his eyes slightly downcast, his face was not confident, as if he was afraid that King Xuan of Qi would find out that he did not know how to play yu.
Next we toured the Hundred Schools of Thought, and I learned the meaning of each school and the people who represented them. Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Military, Miscellaneous, Famous, Horizontal and Longitudinal, Agricultural, Medical, Novelists ...... Among them, Confucianism is Confucius, Xunzi, Mencius, Taoism is Laozi, Legalism is Han Fei Zi, Mohism is Mozi, Miscellaneous is Lu Buwei, Famous is Huishi and Gongsunlong, Horizontal and Longitudinal is Su Qin and Zhang Yi, Agricultural is Xu Xing.
Unconsciously walked in the Spring and Autumn commercial street, looking at both sides of the ancient buildings, hanging ancient lanterns, and with the Spring and Autumn ancient dress people walking in the same street, I seem to return to the Spring and Autumn period. Suddenly came the sound of hawking, "selling rice, selling rice, fresh rice now planted and sold", I turned around and looked, wow, a middle-aged woman in the Spring and Autumn costume pushed a wooden antique wheelbarrow, the car is also placed in a sack of rice, the tourists were amused by her witty and humorous hawking voice. Walking to the end of the street and up to the bridge, we found that both sides of the bridge were covered with many prayer signs, which were filled with good wishes. Walking, we heard a tight drumming sound, Dad said, "This is the Fuzi Temple Fair folklore performance, go, go over to see."
We hadn't even gotten there yet when we saw that the performers were already surrounded by tourists. Out of curiosity, I pushed my way forward and finally saw the folk performers wearing colorful costumes, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing. They sometimes change formation, sometimes change props. Colorful, won a burst of applause from tourists. This side has just ended, the other side of the joyful and festive song ---- "Good Day". Really let the tourists overwhelmed. Unconsciously has arrived at noon, we came to the lined up Fuzimiao food stalls, can not help but be amazed, there are deep-fried ice cream, iron plate squid, salt water duck, duck blood fan soup, a variety of snacks ...... really have everything. Overflowing aroma makes me salivate, I can not help but take out the pocket of the New Year's money, hurry to buy a "fried ice cream", did not think that the money is not good to spend, you have to change into a ticket, and then take the ticket to buy things. Followed by his father to change the ticket, we bought a variety of snacks, the family a full stomach. We ate a full meal, just in time for the opening of the shadow play, but the screening room was already full, we had to stand on the sidelines to see the "Golden Axe", "Wagging Tail Wave", "Turtle Crane Battle" three shadow play, really benefited a lot. Finally, the host aunt, invited the actors to show us live demonstration, told us the production of the shadow, and let us touch the shadow. After leaving the screening room, I was attracted by the exquisite handicrafts, including rabbit lanterns, various kinds of clay sculptures, Peking Opera faces, paper-cutting, and engraving on rice ...... Finally, I came to a small house with the words "free teaching of handicrafts and paper-cutting" written on the door. As I love to do handicrafts, ask for clarification, bought bamboo strips, paper back to the small house, let the teacher to teach me to do rabbit lanterns, I did not expect the teacher to the end of the day. An uncle to help return the raw materials, I was reluctant to leave the workshop. At this time it was already late, the lantern fair began, thousands of bright lights in a flash, Spring and Autumn Paradise immediately turned into a sea of lights. Look, the lighthouse-like "Jade Rabbit Sends Blessings" lanterns lit up the night sky, the lights constantly changing colors, flashing, the top of the Jade Rabbit kept rotating body, in the four sides of the people to send blessings. Below the rabbit hands holders of the hat, an up and down, and so the hat down to the lowest, my mother left me a picture, said with a smile, "rabbit to you to wear the hat, next year, learning is also progress." The Confucius Lantern teaches people about Confucianism, such as "If three people walk together, there must be a teacher for me" and "Virtue carries things". Visitors are completely immersed in the sea of lights, peaceful atmosphere. All kinds of lanterns were hung on the commercial street, on which different words were written, such as "spring is in full bloom". At the entrance of the bronze gate, there is another giant lantern, praying for peace and prosperity in the new year, and wishing people a prosperous year in the Year of the Rabbit.
With the coming of the late night, the one-day temple fair came to an end. Unconsciously, it is nearly ten o'clock, the Spring and Autumn Paradise to close, we are reluctant to say goodbye to the lanterns, say goodbye to the paradise.
