In ancient times, people lived in a mysterious world full of ghosts and gods. The changer rings a small gong on the street at night to remind people of the change of hours.
The origin of this custom is not to tell the time, but to repel ghosts. Due to people's fear of ghosts and gods, fighting has become a regular activity.
With the changes of the times, playing has gradually become a way to tell the time.
During the Song Dynasty, the tower was built to operate the drum system. The building also became a temporary examination room and a place for book collections. The perfection of the playing and drumming system also gave birth to the profession of genfu.
Changers often appear in pairs, one carrying a lamp and the other ringing a gong. They worked at night from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning, for a total of 10 hours.
The main role of playing more is, of course, to tell the time, but there are other functions of playing more. For example, fire prevention, theft prevention, and reminders of how to protect their health.
In ancient times, people's houses were mostly thatched mud houses with low fire performance. Therefore, the beater will shout: "Close the door and window, prevent theft and theft" from 21 o'clock to 23 o'clock, reminding people to close the doors and windows.
Between 11 p.m. and 1 p.m., the changers shout, "Be safe," reminding people to stay safe. From 1 to 3 o'clock, the beaters will shout: "It's cold and freezing" to remind people to keep warm and cold. The existence of people is an extremely important contribution to society.
If there is no fight, people do not have the concept of time, the order of time will be disrupted, and then farmland, markets, markets, etc. will not function normally. During wartime, the presence of beaters is also extremely important.
Fighting people is not only the cornerstone of withstanding disasters and aggression, but also the timely transmitter of disaster information.
Although the modern concept of time is more rigorous and accurate, people still need to grasp the wisdom of history. The end of this custom also symbolizes the progress of civilization and the continuous development of society.
Looking back, we should pay tribute and gratitude to the people who have contributed greatly to the prosperity of society. #热门 #
