Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

Outside the Cidu Town, there is a kiln temple.

In the afternoon, Qiu Tingting took Xu Ning home to have a New Year's Eve dinner, and then in the evening, Qiu Tingting took him to the Kiln Temple.

It was not yet dark, but the people of Cidu Town had already gathered in front of the kiln temple early.

The temple is not big, but it is solemn and dignified, and it is very popular.

There is only a statue of the Kiln God enshrined in the temple. He has a kind face and bright eyes, as if he is watching everyone who comes to worship.

With the sound of firecrackers, the ceremony of worshiping the kiln god officially began.

First, a respected old man lit the incense and candles, and then led the people of Cidu Town to bow three times to the statue of the Kiln God.

Xu Ning was following Qiu Tingting. After Qiu Ming and the others bowed, when it was the turn of the younger generation such as Qiu Tingting, Xu Ning was also pulled by Qiu Tingting to bow.

Then, the people of Ci Du Town placed the offerings they brought in front of the statue. These offerings included fruits, cakes, flowers, etc., expressing the respect and gratitude of the entire Ci Du town to the Kiln God.

During the worship process, the people of the Ci Du town will also pray to the kiln god to bless smooth ceramic production, strong kiln fire, and excellent product quality.

At the same time, they will pray to the kiln god to bless themselves and their families with peace, health, happiness and contentment.

The whole ceremony was filled with a solemn and mysterious atmosphere, which made Xu Ning feel the respect and admiration that the people of the Porcelain Capital Town had for the Kiln God.

After the kiln god worship ceremony, some regular celebrations were held in front of the temple, such as dragon and lion dances, opera performances, etc.

Xu Ning had no experience in participating in these activities, but he found it very interesting just following Qiu Tingting and watching the fun.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out at midnight on New Year's Eve, Xu Ning was sent back to the inn by Qiu Tingting and her daughter.

The next day, early in the morning on the first day of the new year, Qiu Tingting came to the inn to find Xu Ning and brought her breakfast made by her mother.

The Qiu family’s breakfast was very rich. In addition to the dumplings made last night, there were also rice cakes and glutinous rice balls.

There are two fillings for the glutinous rice balls, sesame and red bean paste, both of which are Xu Ning’s favorite flavors.

Xu Ning finished the meal out of courtesy, and was then half-dragged and half-supported by Qiu Tingting to an open space in the town.

At this time, the Cidu Town was already bustling with people, and many faces from other places that were not seen yesterday also appeared in the open space.

The open space in the center of the Cidu Town is very vast, similar to the squares of later generations.

Qiu Tingting pulled Xu Ning and squeezed through the crowd, and finally, with her petite stature, she made her way to the front of the crowd.

"Xu Ning, look, it's about to start!" Qiu Tingting excitedly pointed at the big stage in the middle of the open space.

Xu Ning followed Qiu Tingting's hand and looked towards the stage in the center of the open space, only to see a group of actors in distinctive costumes walking onto the stage one after another.

Before the performance began, various exquisite porcelain musical instruments had been arranged on the stage. These instruments had different shapes and colorful colors, exuding a unique artistic charm.

Xu Ning watched without blinking, as the actors came on stage one by one and sat down behind the porcelain in an orderly manner.

Following the conductor's gestures, the actors each held their musical instruments, facing the audience with dignified manners and focused expressions.

As the first music sounded, the porcelain instruments began to emit clear and pleasant sounds one after another.

First, the first type is called a porcelain cup, and its sound is as clear as spring water.

Next comes the second type of porcelain, called the porcelain flute, which has a melodious sound like a bird's song.

Then there is the third type of porcelain called the porcelain erhu, whose bowstring sounds like weeping and complaining.

Finally, there is the sound of the fourth type of porcelain chimes, which is as loud as a bell.

All kinds of wonderful sounds are interwoven together by skillful hands to form a beautiful piece of music.

The onlookers had unconsciously fallen completely silent, their eyes fixed on the actors performing on the stage.

Xu Ning was amazed and urgently called the treasure box to ask it to send out two more drones to record the scene from multiple angles.

The performance continued, and all the performers were skilled in their skills. They used their fingers, bows, and percussion to bring out the timbre of the porcelain instruments to the fullest.

At the same time, their passionate and infectious performances made the audience immersed in this ocean of music.

As the performance progressed, another group of actors dressed in gorgeous costumes and dancing to the music came on stage.

Xu Ning watched very seriously, not only because the dance moves on the stage were graceful and smooth, which complemented the music, but also because of the careful design. The patterns on the dancers' costumes were the same as those on the porcelain musical instruments.

During the entire performance, Xu Ning also discovered that the lighting on the stage was changing.

This light was made of curtains, screens and bronze mirrors. Although it could not be compared with the real lights in later generations, the effect was not inferior at all.

Xu Ning admired the designer of this performance very much, he was so wise.

With this lighting effect, the changes in the light and shadow echo the rhythm of the music, creating a different atmosphere and emotion, making the entire performance more exciting.

Therefore, at the end of the performance, the onlookers burst into warm applause and cheers the next second.

Uncle Qiu was right. This porcelain music performance was much more interesting than offering sacrifices to the kiln god.

Even Xu Ning, a tone-deaf person in later generations, was conquered by the unique charm of porcelain music performance, let alone the people of the Daqing Dynasty.

"Xu Ning, Xu Ning, look, the acrobatics are going to be performed too!" Qiu Tingting jumped up and patted Xu Ning's arm. Before Xu Ning could recover from the porcelain musical instrument performance just now, he was pulled into the thrilling acrobatics show.

As the acrobatic performance ended, the applause and cheers reached a climax.

Xu Ning's face was numb from the noise. He turned around involuntarily and found that the stage and the audience were all full of smiling and energetic faces.

Xu Ning sighed in his heart, this musical performance was so shocking, it was a complete feast for the eyes and ears.

"Xu Ning! Xu Ning? Did you hear me? My dad is calling us to go home for dinner!"

Qiu Tingting shook Xu Ning's shoulders, and seeing that Xu Ning was finally brought back to his senses by her, the little girl smiled happily with her teeth showing.

Xu Ning also laughed at her expression, "Okay, okay, then come back to the inn with me. I have prepared New Year gifts for you, Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu!"

"No need for any gifts. I haven't prepared any for you! Let's just go back!" When Qiu Tingting heard that Xu Ning was going to give her a gift, her face turned red with embarrassment. Xu Ning couldn't help but pinched her red cheeks.

"Who said you didn't prepare a gift for me? Wasn't the performance just now one? You don't even know it, but I liked it so much."

"Ah?! Yeah! Really! Xu Ning, you like it too, right? Me too, hehe! Well... since you said so, I will accept your gift reluctantly!"

"Hahaha, of course no problem!" Xu Ning laughed heartily.

Qiu Tingting happily took Xu Ning's arm, and the two clever little girls laughed and skipped towards the inn together.
