Now everyone likes nightlife. What was the nightlife like in ancient times?

Everyone says that although the first-tier cities are economically developed, they have no fireworks. Social animals only care about commuting to and from Dai Yue, but never really enjoy life. Although their wages are high, they are really empty, and they are often rejected by their parents in their hometown: they always want to go floating in other places, and there are no fireworks. What's the point?

What is pyrotechnic gas? In the final analysis, people in the street are laughing and playing.

Song? Ma Ling's Book of Southern Tang Dynasty? Sun Fuchuan:? In a poem, Bing said: This is not an elegant system, but it will make people angry. ?

And what can best reflect the fireworks of a city?

That's the night market.

Although our nightlife is rich and colorful now, the nightlife of the ancients is not as monotonous as ours.

In the history of our country, the night market can be traced back to the Han Dynasty at the earliest, but the Han Dynasty is still in its infancy. The complete concept and rising time of the night market was the Tang Dynasty when the national style was open.

Tang dynasty: the development period of night market

The early form of night market is represented by Lantern Festival. In the early Tang Dynasty, a curfew policy was implemented, and it was illegal to wander around at the specified time. So, at that time, the night market was underdeveloped, and it only existed every year during the Lantern Festival? Charter night tour? In front of Luoyang imperial city, lanterns should be placed; For three days before and after, as usual, there was no martial law at night, and the people watching the lights were simply a sea of people:

Datang Xinyu? Article categories include:? (Wu Zetian) On the occasion of the Year of the Loong, the first month of the capital was full of lanterns and shadows, and Jin Wu was forbidden to travel at night. ?

At that time, everyone will have a three-day holiday, and they can freely set up stalls to eat, watch lanterns, step on songs and tug-of-war.

The New Record of Tang Jing said: On the fifteenth day of the first month, it was forbidden in Jin Wu, and the lights were seen the day before and the day after, as bright as day and night.

Even after the Tang Dynasty, the annual Lantern Festival was still grand. Li Shangyin in the late Tang Dynasty heard that Chang 'an held a grand lantern festival, so he couldn't go to watch it. It's a great pity that he wrote this poem that we see now:

Moonlight filled the Imperial Capital, and cars and BMWs walked along the avenue. In his spare time, he couldn't witness the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival in Zhongxing, so he had to take his fellow villagers to see the temple fair and visit Zigu God. I can't wait to see the lights in Beijing last night? Li shangyin

By the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the people had no choice, did they? Nightlife? Desire, some people forced to make a living will also come out to set up stalls to earn a little money, so the curfew system was gradually broken and the legendary folk appeared? Ghost market?

Ghost market? The emergence and rise of "nightlife" also reflected the demand for goods and nightlife at that time. In his early adulthood, Tang Wenzong was greatly dissatisfied with this existence and ordered to ban the night market.

Tang: Night markets in Beijing should be banned.

Although the night market has been suppressed by the government, the night market at this time has already formed a scale and developed into? Noisy day and night, endless feasting? The momentum of

But the court can only turn a blind eye.

Song Dynasty: Maturity of Night Market Development

In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, the night market was completely destroyed? Turn over? Yes

The commercial economy in the Northern Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous. In order to take care of consumers' emotions and meet their needs, it is natural to extend business hours. ? Night market? It was also during this period that it reached its peak. At the same time? A curfew system? This is a dead letter.

Dream of Tokyo: The night market didn't reopen until after midnight. If you want to make a scene, you will stay up all night.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo businessmen not only did business during the day, but also divided their business. Xiaoshi? And then what? Night market? It is equivalent to taking a four-hour break every day and opening the door at other times.

In order to make it easier for customers to choose, the night market has also derived richer content? Sell different goods in different blocks.

Modern nightclub:? Fan Lou?

There are countless restaurants in Tokyo, the capital. What else? Fan Lou? It is the first card, similar to a modern nightclub. It is reported that its pedestal is very high, overlooking the palace from above. Only in the Song Dynasty did such a building dare to be built in Beijing.

In Water Margin, Song Jiang and others visited the night market in the capital of song dynasty and set up a box in Fan Lou. The service quality is comparable to that of Haidilao.

Fan Lou was mentioned many times in the TV series Know It or Not. Xiao Gongye took an examination of a restaurant for reference. After marriage, he and his wife ate snowflake wine, both of which were there.

And then what? Bar regulars? Song Huizong likes to go to Fan Lou with Li Shishi in the evening, and Su Shi also likes to eat in restaurants.

Low-consumption entertainment place: Goulan tile house

Leisure style of ordinary citizens in Northern Song Dynasty

If you feel that restaurants and teahouses burn a little money, you can also go to Goulan Washe.

There are a variety of programs in Goulan Washe, including zaju, puppet show, shadow play, acrobatics, casual play, history books, stories, classics, dance music and various palace tunes. And there are always surprises, such as Ding Xianxian (an actor who is more popular than Andy Lau) coming here to perform.
