What is the life-saving porridge, the life-saving boiled dumplings, and what is the thing that even the emperor does not dare not eat?
There is a saying in old Beijing, "Lapa Porridge that urges life, boiled food that saves life", the reason why there is this saying is because at the end of the year, "Lapa Ba" is when creditors come to the door to ask for debts, and when it comes to the "first day" to eat the food, those who ask for an account will not come to the door. Friends in the north all know that every New Year's Day starts to eat dumplings from the evening of the "thirty", at least until the "first five", since the "first day" eats dumplings, why does the saying say to eat dumplings? What the hell is this gluttony?? Here is a pass to talk to everyone about a drama, it is precisely because of watching this drama that this food is deeply rooted in my mind.
To be ashamed, a few days ago I finally watched "Galaxy Tuition Class", Xu because Deng Chao's movies in recent years are very popular, or perhaps his image in the reality show destroyed the audience's concentration on the actors, so the more the publicity of "Galaxy Tuition Class" I was more scornful, but after so long, because of the drama I clicked on this movie, although the storyline is too idealistic, but Ma Haowenfu, played by Deng Chao, appeared, instantly let me see him: this person has always been able to act.
Impressed by Deng Chao's acting skills began with a "Young Heavenly Son", the script is solid, the actors are beautiful, the drama sense is strong and there is no drama of the lines, such a conscience domestic drama makes Deng Chao, who was only 23 years old at the time, shine, the line skills are very good, and the perfect interpretation of the life of a sad emperor. This drama is honestly quite mournful, watching a sad three days without end, the whole process is like a feeling of powerlessness in the throat, Deng Chao himself also said in the interview that after filming this play for more than a year, his world is gray, and he can't pull out of the role, but more is the remembrance and regret of the drama "Young Heavenly Son": "Every day with the script just printed, hot, I think I will encounter such a TV drama script again, that is, oh, it is really beautiful!" ”
Looking at those "imperial dramas", there are not many who can go deep into the hearts of the characters to explore the value of existence, because the imperial heart is the most unpredictable, you can't penetrate it, you can only depict a standardized template according to historical facts, but don't forget, the emperor is also a person, people will have seven emotions and six desires, will be sad, will be entangled, will be happy, "young tianzi" must also be first teenager and then tianzi, which is a process of physical and mental transformation.
Under the pressure of the Forbidden City, the Son of Heaven is not omnipotent and alone, but he is highly powerful but suffered a lot, but he is just a poor man blindfolded by the hand of fate, pressing his head, and pushing his body forward, and the Son of Heaven is the biggest prisoner in this Forbidden City.
Fighting against love, the marriage chosen by politics is not satisfactory.
Fighting with his mother, he was always trapped in the oppression and shackles of the empress.
Fighting against the ministers, the Longing Han culture is incompatible with them.
Fighting against fate, but being an alien in the eyes of others, is a monster.
Then, he failed, his heart died, he wanted to take refuge in Buddhism but still could not do so, he did not fulfill his wishes for the rest of his life, and finally the play gave him the best way to liberate himself - suicide, because "my fate is not up to me."
The two empresses who were forced to the Shunzhi Emperor in the play were both from the Gege Borjigit clan of Horqin, one was the emperor's cousin, the other was the daughter of the emperor's eldest cousin, not to mention that the marriage of close relatives in feudal society was easy to get into trouble, the first empress was deposed because of arrogance and arrogance, and was demoted to a concubine, and the result was that the second empress was a fool, and Shunzhi knew on the night of the big wedding, I doubted whether Horqin had a vendetta against him, but could the empress dowager not know? It was only for the sake of political marriage that she forced her son, and even if mother and son had a deep affection, the emperor was just a puppet in her hands.
The silly empress made the emperor lack of interest, but the wine was still to be drunk, and the big wedding procedure was cumbersome, and he had to eat something for a day when he was hungry, and the aforementioned "Rao" also appeared at this time.
You see, what does this "offspring" look like? Yes, dumplings.
One of the Manchu marriage customs is that the woman's family prepares "children and grandchildren to eat", the man's family prepares "longevity noodles", the little couple sits on the marriage bed, and the auspicious mother says the auspicious words of "white head with old age, happy marriage and reason", while feeding the children and grandchildren to the two, this child and grandchild are deliberately cooked half-cooked, meaning "to be born", and there will be children outside the window who ask: "Born or not?" The bride and groom will answer, "Birth! "The emperor's big wedding is the same, but it is a big disrespect to skip the step of questioning, but even if the Shunzhi Emperor and the two empresses in the play eat their children and grandchildren, the good meaning can not escort their marriage, which makes people sigh...
Rao is actually not Manchu, but calling dumplings is indeed brought up by manchus, some pastries and pastries are also called dumplings, so that the Qing Dynasty court and Beijing colloquialism also call dumplings dumplings, until the 1940s were renamed dumplings, dumplings. Boiling dumplings is an indispensable food in the life of the Manchus, whether it is sacrifices, New Year's festivals, weddings to eat dumplings, the Manchus believe in the shamanistic god song once sang:
"Today's five dragons are not early, what is good to eat after fighting the five dragons?" The moon came out to the east and white, and Master Guanglu invited him to come over. Stir-fry the chicken clear ground meat, roast yellow two wine blanched. A goose was caught in the courtyard and the goose meat was chopped up and boiled. Sleep before drinking and eating, and raise your spirit to share the incense. ”
The imperial cuisine of the Qing Dynasty court is characterized by the fact that a certain dish may last for a long time during the reign of an emperor, and even in the Qing Dynasty, it is the best of the boiled dumplings, allowing the wind and rain to appear on the daily menu steadily.
Imperial meal is no better than outside the palace, although the stuffing is simple, the taste is also quite delicious, the most common occurrence is lamb cabbage, roast duck bean sprouts, pork cabbage, pork spinach, pork leeks, pork three fresh, pork auspicious vegetables, etc., this auspicious dish is purslane, also known as longevity dish, although it is a wild vegetable meaning but the best, with fungus, enoki mushrooms, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, gluten made of vegetarian stuffed dumplings are also delicious ~
