Today is the New Year, and Lu Bu decided to have a more festive life.

At this time, everyone should light firecrackers during the Chinese New Year and change the peach talisman.

Peach Talisman is the prototype of couplets in later generations, but at this time, the paper was not used, but peach wood boards were made of.

The door god is usually drawn or the name of the door god is written on it to ward off evil spirits.

Or write Spring Festival couplets on it and hang them on the door.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, every household will replace the rescued Taota with the new Taota.

There is a poem written like this:

The year is over with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the summer.

In the sun, thousands of households always replace the old charms with new peaches.

The last sentence of the new peach changing old talisman is about this.

The first sentence of firecrackers is the prototype of the earliest firecrackers.

For the sake of excitement and festiveness, everyone will ignite pillars during the Chinese New Year.

Those who have burned bamboo joints at home will know that when bamboo burns, they will make crackling sounds, which is almost the same as the sound of firecrackers in later generations, and are quite lively.

In Dahua, gunpowder has just been invented for a few years, so firecrackers have not been developed.

This time, Lu Bu Jueri decided to ask the Ministry of Works to make some firecrackers and fireworks.

After receiving the emperor's order, he quickly made some firecrackers and fireworks according to Lu Bu's order.

Then, Lu Bu distributed these firecrackers and fireworks to many ministers.

After these ministers got the firecrackers and fireworks, they couldn't wait to set off some that night.

I found it was indeed a good thing, and it was so beautiful.

but--

The next day, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei came to find Lu Bu with a shameless face.

"Brother, are there any firecrackers and fireworks in your place? Let's give us some more?"

Um?

I just gave it to them yesterday, why did I come here to ask for it again today?

Lu Bu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Didn't it just distributed it to you yesterday?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Hehe, hehe, brother, I finished letting go yesterday!"

I'll take a break. I gave you more than a dozen boxes of fireworks yesterday. Have you put them all out?

Lu Bu couldn't help but say with a dark face: "Don't even think about it, I'm gone."

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhang Fei couldn't help but rub his hands and said with a shy face: "Brother, this is not what I want to see, this is what Ying'er wants to see! You can't stop Ying'er from watching? She is your daughter-in-law! If you don't give it to me, I'll ask Sheng'er to go!"

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel black!

Huo! There is really nothing we can do about this guy.

If I don’t give it, would you ask Sheng'er for it?

Do you want you to be your father-in-law like this?

Lu Bu had no choice but to say helplessly: "In this way, I will give it to you on the day of 30th. If I give it to you now, there will be no more than you can put it!"

Hearing the emperor agreed, Dian Wei couldn't help but say happily: "Brother, that's all right. At that time, I'll give us 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, get out of here!"

As a result, the two guys made an appointment to drink with each other.

After bombing the two guys away, Lu Bu thought about it, as if there was something missing.

After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered it, yes, there are fewer neon lights.

So Lu Bu found the Ministry of Works again and ordered them to make some neon lights.

Neon lights are in color and flicker.

The color is easy to deal with, but the willingness to flash is still unclear.

After Lu Bu's guidance, they immediately realized that they would be able to make it soon.

...

Finally, the new year is coming.

In the palace, the eunuchs in each palace were busy preparing the items needed for the New Year.

There were also some small eunuchs who were preparing to change the peach talisman, but they were stopped by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu decided that the palace would not use peach talismans from this year, but would directly replace it with Spring Festival couplets.

Spring Festival couplets are simple and easy to deal with. They are not like peach talismans. They also need to prepare peach wood boards in advance, which is too troublesome.

Cai Yong also expressed his approval when he heard about Lu Bu's creativity.

The Tao Fu probably passed down from the Zhou Dynasty and has been passed down for thousands of years.

Until now, many people have found it very troublesome.

But during the Chinese New Year, I have to change it.

The emperor's small reform was written directly on red paper, which was both festive and simple, and it was really great.

Cai Yong is a contemporary master. He immediately wrote ink and wrote couplets.

Then, I wrote a lot of blessings, wealth, and longevity.

Next, let the eunuch go to various palaces to post couplets.

Lu Sheng, Lu Yunxin, Lu Lingqi, and those little princes and princesses were excited to see these couplets posted on red paper.

Lu Sheng and Lu Yunxin were even more busy helping the eunuchs post couplets.

The remaining little princes and the little princess were young, and the other was a little afraid and unable to let go in front of the father, and just ran around behind Lu Sheng and Lu Yunxin.

Lu Lingqi followed the emperor happily and talked to her father.

As for Prince Lu Bin, he came out to take a look and went back, and seemed not interested in Spring Festival couplets.

After writing Spring Festival couplets in the palace, it was getting late.

Cai Yong sat in a sedan chair, and after returning home, he directly removed the peach talisman at home, cut the red paper, and pasted the Spring Festival couplets.

Then, the novel Spring Festival couplets from the family of the Minister of Rites attracted the attention of many neighbors.

Those who have not changed the peach charm yet felt very happy and posted it on red paper.

In a short period of time, many people followed the trend.

It is foreseeable that by next year, more people will follow the trend.

In a few years, this custom will be spread throughout Dahua.

The next day was New Year's Eve. As soon as Lu Bu had breakfast, he heard Lu Sheng shouting: "Father, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad."

Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "How old are you? Still so unstable? What happened? Are you screaming so loudly?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but say, "Father, the word "Fu" posted on the gate of the palace was posted by the little eunuch Laixi! Many people passing by saw it, what should I do now? Father, today is a happy day, so don't punish Laixi? He is illiterate and did not post it on purpose. You can spare him this time, right?"

I like to be illiterate, so when I paste couplets, I am only responsible for sticking paste.

When he posted the word "Happy" at the end, he was asked to post it himself because he only had one word. Unexpectedly, he posted it over!

After hearing Lu Sheng's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at him with a smile.

This kid is OK. On the surface, he is here to report this news to me, but in fact, he is trying to make excuses for Laixi.
