Two days before the annual Qingming tranquil village of Tai Lin suddenly from the plains of high pole, the next two days there will be tens of miles radius of the center of Swing Festival is the biggest festival excitement level even more than the New Year.
April 2 cities to the villages at night, on the 1st Feidu Shanghai to Zaozhuang, Zaozhuang to Juxian, Juxian to chess Hill, Lunan earth, Yimapingchuan, sky-road, I have been forward, in the drizzle of the evening, and finally arrived at the stone house full of big Lin Yimeng village. For me a surprise visit, humble secretary know what to do, it is strange how I know that to play here, Yau Ching Ming Festival 1000, more surprised that I went all the way specifically for playing Yau 1000 to come here, chatted a few words, and some cold field, the sky was dark, I almost shamelessly the requirements of lodging, so they released his son's room, silent night.
April 3 swing frame ground into the sky, a happy breed quickly swing here is not what I imagined as simple as it is in person the next day found at the scene. Hundreds of the central square of the village there is an open space, 76-year-old determined to smoking Han Yan Lin bag command 78 young adults under construction. Quartet base from the ground about one meter high, is skew the composition of wood and wire, the column foot with 78 meters high, is leaning on the base, some cis-pole climb, in the column side has nine tenon hole, the people underneath the beam sent to plug into the hole, smashing a few hammer makes the beam alignment, and then from the above people use a fixed rope. Docking is completed, everyone together, the former pushing and pulling, a dozen young adults put up 1.1 points to the columns, the alignment of transfer underground hole. At this point in the column most likely to dump the dispossessed, the four directions at the same time pull the rope continuously adjusted so that the vertical columns, until the rope tied to tree trunks or poles on all sides, everyone was relieved. At this point swing has taken shape, like a huge umbrella skeleton Yibing, seats that tether both ends of the crooked neck and trunk, with the sling hanging beams binding, such a completion of nine of the homemade swing, kids already contain himself excited about climbing on the swing after another, beneath a large portrait, like the rotating millstone column, the swing will turn faster, and the city's playground swivel very like, but the changed power of manpower, according to Lin old man homemade swing to talk about this there are two hundred years of history, and view of this impression that the originator of Western toys may still be such a homemade swing, it is tired of the game, but it is the best childhood memories of the village children fun, also take the pole when they were sitting and watching, to help or trouble, dancing girls and boys playing billiards rubber band, and all activities are centered around the swing frame, happy in the land after the rain quickly deteriorating, the evening meal, I come again, dark Lane also heard children's laughter floating in the air, frolic, mixed with adults asking them to call home for dinner, they strike me a distant childhood memories.
April 4 drunken swing it is a sunny morning, I stroll Daocun Kou, just some wearing red scarves Daisow tractor sitting inside, so pulled together to go to the market. Qi Shan's crowded market, the bumps along my waist fast Zhen Duan, and back is two in the afternoon, hungry.
Years earlier than to clever, and secretary of the home is filled with visitors, today is the day before Qingming, according to village rules, it is our ancestors of the memorial day, lunch should be a large banquet, said to be ancestor worship, or actually living in a grand delicious food. Take a seat a pass Kuang Chi, to a little white wine, began to not have a problem, I sip wine in a small mouth large mouth Chicai, others and I'm not too familiar with how not urge somebody to drink, and later came an old man sitting next to him, pouring up to help me I would like to Tuirang, he said he had 80 years old and how I can refuse, followed by the opposite of the brawny 30-year-old up to clink, in accordance with the rule of Shandong slightest must Hegan, so I was not even filling the two glass of white wine, numerous Jiu Li's I immediately felt dizzy, and good clear-headed, take them to the hot wine right away to escape.
Huang Dao fighting Yau 1000 square, lying in terms of being the swirling swing, elated, a whim, but also climbed up, swing, fly, the sky-watt blue, golden sunset, children laughing, full hanging in mid-air entangled together, I am happy to faint in the past they woke up, drunken swing, deadly pleasure.
April 5 swing in the name of the event today is the Ching Ming Festival, the rest of the day hikers are grave, Lin determined early in the morning arrived at the swing next to him to help the swing in today's open light, it is their ancestral home down the art , to his generation is already more than ten generations, the people of swing is called to play Yau 1000, to take strike it rich harmonics. Great people to send their children all drive down the swing, the sound of firecrackers together, determined to lead the descendants of Lin incense three columns opposite the swing prayed, praying the gods bless playing swing Do not drop, and then boarded the swing of a young high-profile scattering candy, adults and children vie with each other under the to loot, so swing festival officially began.
Clearly feel that today's grand occasion will be unprecedented, a growing number of street vendor, or push the wheelbarrow, or driving a tractor wanted to come, though mostly sell children snacks like toys a class is not attracted to all children, Longlongmotuo a few years down the sound on the cool men and women, came to a booth selling candied fruit before the squat, throw in the bowl from the sieve, like gambling, who lost to inviting guests to eat the candied fruit. I do not know when the wall one more photo sharing, stall holders have hung up a pavilion in the background art is very lovely Chinese Room, as a peer I naturally feel warm and the neighboring villages of the old chap is claiming to be farmers, to catch a set of spare time earning point a little money, according to two five-inch to a five door delivery across two days, I learned that washing a five-inch photos as long as the county seat San Mao, a good cheap. Maybe I have been on the swing to see photographs of people photography, where he is also aware of the boisterous scene is a better look at the background of the pavilion Chinese Room ridiculous piece of art can only rely on his son looked at the.
At this time on a swing is no longer a child's world, grandparents often see mom and dad sat on her son to play putt in the following sub-granddaughter, the platform jammed with people waiting on the swing, while the pyramid, like standing up seats 23 passengers, nine of the swing at least a few people equipped with a 20. No quarrel is only laughter, even if 1:00 to play, or inadvertently fail to get pushed under the platform. The most fun is the number of young adults struggling to thrust up from time to time, playing Yau 1000 people flew to the air and screaming into a sound of laughter sounds.
At this point the climax of the village some bold people have come to the high art of "playing Yau 1000," he also plays a game of tricks - "playing the story", that is, the process of rotating swing performed a number of difficult moves, tricks are: Tiger squat hill, tigers sleep, Phoenix Single-wings, fuchsia, net shoot Mo Yu, Lei Ting, and so more than ten kinds of playing, watching the audience stare dumbfounded, thunderous applause broke out from time to time. Smoking a 76-year-old Lin Zhi Han Yan bags look depressed, he's playing the story of ancestral masters, 18-year-old with his father on the Institute, has been hit 70-year-old, but his descendants did not inherit such a feat, because the younger who are bent out of this piece of backwater to the outside world to work as laborers, Ching Ming Festival rarely home, naturally missed learning "to play the story," the opportunity is now performing on stage are his disciples, but also all of them have is a middle-aged man. Without these wonderful programs show, swing festival will be eclipsed, but the half-light for that moment when the scenery to give up the chance to work, and the remaining bound to be more tough days, the world is a total hard reconciled.
I suddenly found that playing Yau Ching Ming Festival 1000 is not the most important people for this reason relatives and walk around, meet up with friends, clients negotiate, so as to deepen the feelings, exchange information for the "Yinianzhiji is the Spring" laid a good foundation is the swing in the name of the event.
To village, unusual quiet, just the excitement inside is so true, most of the year are deserted village of Tai Lin, as if endless barren land, today is Carnival, the villagers happy time ... ...
