Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, and there was a heavy snowfall in Guanzhong.

Li Xin has always felt that Chinese New Year is actually a romantic event.

Just imagine, human life is only more than 20,000 days and nights. In essence, there is no obvious difference between today and tomorrow. Thinking about it this way, life is really too boring and long. Fortunately, by observing the trajectories of the sun, moon, and stars, the wise men and sages divided the ordinary life into segments called "years" one after another, and separated the mortal beings living on the ground from the moving ones in the distant universe. The stars are linked together.

At the end of every ordinary year, a small life will reunite with a great star. Isn't that romantic enough?

On such a special day, people sit around with their families, talk about the laughter and tears of this year, calm down the sadness, accumulate strength, and then move on to the next year. This is the feeling of a small family deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chinese. Even in big cities where the taste of the new year is weak in later generations, people still regret not being able to reunite with their families on New Year's Eve. This is excellent evidence.

Although many ethnic groups have similar traditions, but frankly speaking, Li Xin still prefers our own Nian. For example, Christmas in the West is also a family reunion. Around the dining table, there is a big turkey on the table, drinking and eating meat. It seems to be very similar to the Spring Festival, but its core is completely different: Christmas is a religious festival. , the core purpose is to commemorate the birth of Jesus. But China's Spring Festival is not at all, it is a purely secular festival, listening to its name, you can clearly smell the smell of fireworks in the world.

Li Xin does not believe in God. Even after being born again, he still didn't believe. Compared with the illusory gods and religious scriptures, he prefers to embrace this splendid world. The "Bible" says that bread and wine are gifts from God, and Li Xin just wanted to spit on this, and by the way, add another sentence: shit doesn't make sense.

Huaxia people just don't believe in God in their bones. If there is too much sun, shoot a few down with your own bow and arrow; if you want fire, drill it out with wood and velvet; if you want to obtain the medicinal properties of thousands of herbs, try one by one. There have never been any miracles. There is never any need for miracles, only the determination and will of man to conquer nature. Therefore, Chinese people have respected their ancestors and paid attention to sacrifices since ancient times.

Don't people really know that these sacrifices mean nothing to the dead? actually not. Rather than saying that these sacrificial activities are for the ancestors, it is better to say that these sacrificial activities are prepared for the living. It can remind everyone that the current happy life comes from the hard work of the ancestors, and today's people should also inherit this spirit to create a better life for future generations. This kind of will passed down from generation to generation is the root of the Chinese people.

Therefore, when encountering such an important event as the Chinese New Year, Li Xin naturally had to put down what he was doing to experience the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty. After all, this is his first year since he was reborn in Datang. As for the "things at hand" that he put down, it was actually the introductory book on economics.

In order to avoid touching taboos, he had to repeatedly delete and beautify the little knowledge of political economy in his mind before he could write it down. Naturally, this progress cannot be fast. In the past half a month, he only wrote one-third of the volume, and killed a lot of his brain cells. It's not too much to choose to take a break, right?

After all, Li Xin is a member of the royal family, and he is still a man. When the Spring Festival comes, there are many miscellaneous etiquettes to participate in. Chen Youlan is also the young lady of a rich family. Although she is a daughter, she is not required to participate in some special ceremonies, but she is always needed to help at home, and she can't go out and run around. Therefore, even though it was the idle time during the Spring Festival, the two met less than usual.

Counting the twenty years of his previous life, Li Xinyuan has been single for decades, and it is rare to have a girlfriend. After a few days of not seeing each other, he can't help but miss her, so he cooks some exquisite Soviet-style snacks himself. He ordered someone to send him to Chen's residence, but Chen Yin happened to bump into him.

The majestic prince is always working hard on this point, Chen Yin is a little speechless, but he is relieved when he thinks that the other party is Li Xin, the number one weirdo in the Tang Dynasty, and he just waved his hand casually pretending not to know, let The servants hurriedly delivered the snacks to Chen Youlan. Although the snack box looks very thick, it will always be cold after a long delay.

Watching the servant's back disappear into the corner of the corridor, Chen Yin smiled and shook his head. Although he is a traditional Confucian, he is by no means pedantic. Seeing that Li Xin is a man who is willing to cook for his daughter to please his daughter, his mood is subtly quite good. After all, he is a father, who doesn't want his daughter to marry a man who will love others?
