Nanping Wuyishan: "Fun to Gu Xi"

"To the ancient" is the harmonious voices of the Chong'an dialect, which means "guessing". Yes, it means guessing or solving. "Gu Xi" (ancient "(ancient) is a story containing a mystery, similar to today's children's intelligence competition questions. There are many lively and vivid puzzles of the ancient villagers, and then passed down from generation to generation to future generations. An old rural who is over 60 or 70 years old will not be unfamiliar with the fun of "ancient" in childhood. Especially those young children who once lived in remote villages and lanes in the neighborhoods were guided by the "ancient" by the elderly, revealed, and cultivated.

The "ancient" resources that are right in northern Fujian are rich. There are "ancient" mystery noodles at the junction of Zhejiang and Pucheng: "Fire outside Dongmen City, two people in the dead city, emergency women to rescue, burning to the time of the time" "Rotten meat and good wine", rotten characters are traditional characters, the left is the fire word, the right door frame, and the door frame has a traditional "Cambodian" character. The villages under Wuyishan City under Wuyishan also circulated such a mystery, but the storyline expressed by the statement changed a bit: "Last night, there was a fire in the east gate, and there were people in the middle of it.

There is another legend about this "ancient Xi". According to legend, the year is approaching, and the rich people are preparing to celebrate the New Year. The east gate of the city is a disappointed old man who lives all year round. He thought about how to eat rotten meat in the New Year? One night, Dongcheng Gate suddenly fired, and the poor old show saw the light rushed to the sky, and quickly escaped. At that time, there was a beggar couple remembering Lao Xiucai, worried that he had escaped from the east gate of the city? Lao Xiucai also remembered them, and returned to Dongcheng Gate to find. The three met at Dongcheng Gate and hurriedly joined the firefighting ranks. They came with the people who came to save the fire, raised the water to extinguish the fire. At that time, they were hungry, so they walked towards the rich people with many red lanterns in the west gate of the city and asked for something to eat. As soon as I walked into a large house, the owner was holding a spring ceremony in the hall. I saw the eight immortal tables on the eight immortal desk for oil and golden brilliant hoofs. There are also whole chickens, and a pot of good wine is placed in it, and the fruit of all colors is full of plates. Lao Xiu looked at the hall, and saw a gentleman sitting in the hall, holding a line to install a book, and muttered something with a few children.

At this time, Lao Xiu had been seduced by the year of the wine and meat on the table for Baxian. He ran into the hall and rushed into the hall and said, "Hello, Master Guifu! Please settle in the next few days. I just returned to the fire extinguishing the fire again. After I smelled the taste of good wine and good meat in front of the gate of Guifu, can I enjoy it? "The old Dongjia knew that there was a show in the east gate of the city, but it was impoverished. , Being scorn. At this time, when the old family was disgusted with the poor talent, when he waved his long sleeves to drive him away, a child immediately stopped: "Grandpa, slow! What do he want to eat, let him go," Gu Xi " Give us yes, Ruo Xiucai's "Gu Xi" is clever and accurate, then you can enjoy some wine and meat for him. "The old Dong family thought that the grandson was reasonable, so he allowed his grandson to take the rice paper pen ink. , Let Xiucai write.

Xiucai didn't have to spend too much brain, but just walked to the table to see a few things that wanted to eat, so I dipped in ink and wrote: "Last night, the east gate was caught fire, and there were people in the middle. When the water was destroyed. "Then he bowed to the Dongjia and said," What I want to eat, these two things are on the table, and it is also in the mystery of "Gu Xi". "The old owner walked away. The "ancient Xi" that was only spread on the case in the case, groaning, and walking in the hall for several laps, I still can't be right, so please show the grandson. untie. Xiucai shook his head proudly. When the old owner seemed impatient, when he was about to expel the pair of beggars outside the door, the poor show hurriedly explained: "The owner is angry, in the" ancient Xi "I want, what you want is that the rotten meat on the table is good. liquor!"

So, the poor show had to write the answer with the pen and ink, and explained to the old owner. The old Dong family immediately smiled and opened, not only to put him on the rotten meat (hoof) on the table with the good wine. The old beggar old couple also gave up a lot of rice and fruits.

Time is like a white horse, and when he recalls the childhood childhood, more than fifty years have passed. Thinking of the experience of his childhood and the old people in the village, the "ancient Xi" that had been played in his mind will still flashes in his mind. It is just that although many classic "ancient" are stored in the brain, they have to restore it and have to spend some effort to remember. In the folk, those "ancient" full of wit and fun are still puzzled and interesting for the current children's enlightenment. I remember "Gu Xi" when I was a kid. Many of the beautiful artistic and lively "ancient Xi". Once we were "right" by our children, the elders and neighbors at home will not only use candy to reward you, but also to you to you Said his thumbs up: "This child is clever! Such difficult 'ancient", he can also come out! "

Today, many organizations of parent -child activities like to take their children to the countryside. In addition to taking the children to visit the countryside, don't forget that there is an interesting intellectual activity. It is also worthy of the interaction of the children. The vicissitudes of the elderly "go to ancient times" with your child. (Zou Quanrong)
