"Mo Drinking", the "Cultural and Creative" of the Qixi Festival of the ancient Luoyang

Today is the Qixi Festival. Yesterday, the city's collection enthusiast, Li Sanyi, showed reporters a kind of old object called "Mo Dan Le". The object was closely related to the ancient Luoyang people.

Yesterday morning, the reporter saw dozens of "grinding and drinking" collections in Li Sanyun's office. They look similar to pottery figurines. Although the workmanship is not very fine, the shape is very rich. There are both Buddhist images such as Thousands of Guanyin and ordinary character shapes. In addition, the size of these "grinding and drinking music" is not the same.

Li Sanyun said that these collections were collected from the villagers in some villages in our city more than ten years ago. At that time, the villagers told him that these old objects similar to pottery figurines were dug out of the field when they were built. At first, Li Sanlun thought these things were the funerals of the ancients. After asking experts, they learned that they were called "Mo Dan Le". Weaver girls express the desire of begging and blessed.

Cheng Yongjian, a researcher at the Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, recalled that when he carried out archeological work in the Luoyang city site of Sui and Tang dynasties, he found too much "grinding and drinking" in Lifang District. According to his understanding, the term "grinding and drinking music" originally originated from Buddhism. In the process of integration of Buddhism and Chinese culture, the thought with utilitarian "begging" and "Yigen" thought was attached to "Mo Dan Le" and became one. Planting customs. After that, with the development of the economy and the prosperity of the culture of the Song Dynasty, the cultural connotation of "grinding and drinking" gradually enriched, and finally evolved into unique mud or pottery dolls.

Ma Zhengbiao, the leader of the Lulong District Cultural Classics Engineering Group, said that "Mo Dan Le" was the most popular in the Northern Song Dynasty. As a cultural center at that time, Luoyang was the birthplace of the popular trend of "grinding and drinking". After the Southern Song Dynasty, as the Central Plains continued to move south, the customs of "grinding and drinking" gradually came to the south. He suggested that our city should actively carry out research on "grinding and drinking music", produce "grinding drinking music" related cultural and creative products, and make this Luoyang "old cultural and creative" into contemporary "new cultural and creative" to help our city cultural tourism Industrial Development.
