Today's New Year, Lu Bu decided to be a little more festive.
At this time, everyone should light firecrackers and exchange peach charms for the New Year.
The peach charm is the prototype of the couplets of later generations, but at this time it was not made of paper, but of peach board.
It is usually painted with the name of the door god or written on it to ward off evil spirits.
Or write couplets on them and hang them on the gate.
And every year during the Chinese New Year, every household will replace the saved peach charm with a new peach charm.
There is a poem that reads: In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.
The last sentence of the new peach for the old charm is about this matter.
And the first sentence of the firecracker sound is one year old, which is the prototype of the earliest firecrackers.
In order to be lively and festive, everyone will light the pillars during the New Year.
Those who have burned bamboo at home will know that when the bamboo is burning, it will make a crackling sound, which is almost the same as the sound of firecrackers in later generations, and it is more lively.
In Dahua, gunpowder had only just been invented for a few years, so firecrackers were not developed.
This time, Lu Bu decided to let the Ministry of Industry make some firecrackers and fireworks.
After receiving the emperor's order, he quickly made some firecrackers and fireworks in accordance with Lu Bu's order.
Lu Bu then distributed these firecrackers and fireworks to numerous ministers.
These ministers, after getting the firecrackers and fireworks, couldn't wait to set off some that night.
I found that it was really a good thing, and it was beautiful.
But On the second day, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei came to Lu Bu with shy faces.
"Big brother, have you lit more firecrackers and fireworks for us?"
Well I just gave it to them yesterday, why did I ask for it again today Lu Bu couldn't help frowning and asked, "Didn't you just distribute it to you yesterday?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Hey, hey, big brother, I finished it yesterday."
I'll give you more than a dozen boxes of fireworks yesterday, and you've all set them off Lu Bu couldn't help but say with a dark face: "Don't even think about it, I don't have it anymore." ” Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Fei couldn't help rubbing his hands, and said with a shy face: "Big brother, this is not what I want to see, this is what Ying'er wants to see, you can't help but let Ying'er see it, she is your daughter-in-law, if you don't give it, I'll find Sheng'er to go."
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but have black lines on his head Huo Zhen can't do anything about it.
If I don't give it, you can ask Sheng'er for it Do you want to be such an old man?
Lu Bu had no choice but to say helplessly: "In this way, I will give it to you on the thirtieth day."
If I give it to you now, I won't have enough for you."
Hearing the emperor's promise, Dian Wei couldn't help but say happily: "Big brother, that's okay, when the time comes, you have to give us a little more."
Lu Bu couldn't help but say helplessly: "Okay, okay, when did I break my promise, I don't want to see you two now, hurry up."
As a result, the two of them hooked up and went to drink.
After blowing these two goods away, Lu Bu pondered, as if something was missing.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered, yes, there is less neon light.
So, Lu Bu found the Ministry of Industry again and ordered them to make some neon signs.
Neon is all about color and flickering.
The color is easy to do, but the willingness to flicker, the Ministry of Industry is not clear for a while.
After Lu Bu's guidance, they immediately realized that they would soon be able to make it.
Finally, the New Year is here.
Inside the palace, the little eunuchs in each palace began to get busy, preparing the items needed for the New Year.
There were also some little eunuchs who were about to change the peach talisman, but they were stopped by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu decided that from this year onwards, the palace will not use peach charms, and directly replace them with Spring Festival couplets.
The Spring Festival couplets are simple and trouble-free, unlike peach charms, and you have to prepare peach planks in advance, which is too troublesome.
Cai Yong also praised Lu Bu's creativity when he heard it.
The peach charm was probably handed down from the Zhou Dynasty and has been passed down for thousands of years.
Up to now, many people have found it very troublesome.
But the New Year is a festive picture, and it has to be replaced.

And this little reform of the emperor is written directly on red paper, which is both festive and simple, and it couldn't be better.
Cai Yong is a contemporary person, and he immediately splashed ink and wrote couplets.
Then, I wrote a lot of Fulu Suxi separately.
Next, let the little eunuch go to the palaces to post couplets.
Lu Sheng, Lu Yunxin, Lu Lingqi, and those little princes and princesses, when they saw these couplets posted on red paper, they were all excited.
Lu Sheng and Lu Yunxin were even more busy helping those little eunuchs post couplets.
The remaining little princes and little princesses, firstly, they were young, and secondly, they were a little afraid and couldn't let go in front of their father, so they just ran around behind Lu Sheng and Lu Yunxin.
Lu Lingqi was very happy to follow the emperor and talk to her father.
As for the crown prince Lu Bin, he came out to take a look, and went back again, and he didn't seem to be interested in the Spring Festival couplets.
After writing the Spring Festival couplets in the palace, it was not too early.
Cai Yong sat in a sedan chair, and after returning home, he directly removed the peach talisman at home, cut red paper, and pasted the Spring Festival couplets.
Then, the novel Spring Festival couplets in the house of the Ministry of Rites attracted the attention of many neighbors.
Those who hadn't changed the peach charm felt very happy and posted it on red paper.
In a short period of time, many people followed suit.
It is foreseeable that by next year, more people will follow suit.
Within a few years, this custom will spread throughout Dahua.
The second day was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lü Bu had just eaten breakfast when he heard Lü Sheng shouting: "Father Emperor, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's blessed." ” Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and scolded: "How old are you and still so unstable, what the hell is going on, so shouting?"
Lu Sheng couldn't help but say: "Father, the blessing word posted on the gate of the palace was pasted down by the little eunuch Laixi, and many people passing by have seen it, what can I do now Father, today is a day of great joy, don't punish Laixi, he is illiterate, and he didn't mean to stick it down, you just spare him this time."
Laixi is illiterate, so when pasting couplets, he is only responsible for sticking paste.
At the end of the posting of the happy word, because it was just one word, he was responsible for posting it, but he didn't expect it to be pasted down by him After listening to Lu Sheng's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but glance at him with a smile.
This kid can, on the surface, he is here to report the news to me, but in fact, he wants to excuse him
