Reading "Shen Congwen's Autobiography", watching Mr. Shen write about his childhood, saying that at that time he was the "truant king", and he didn't like Mr. Private School's lectures, so he skipped school, went to the Youshui River to swim, went to the river street to hang out, watched the blacksmith make iron, saw through the beads, watched the cattle slaughtered, watched the dark utensils lay the dead utensils, and watched everything outside the class, all of which were full of relish, so that many years later, the pen began to write, and the scene was vivid.
When I was young, although I didn't have the same experience as Mr. Shen, there were many things that were inseparable from playing. Now that I think about it, I don't remember much about the scenes of going to class and school, but the memories of playing are impressive and varied. Just a few popsicle sticks, a few matchbox covers, and you can play for half a day. Now I will talk about a few things that come to mind.
I remember when I was a child, I often put flowers on the 11th National Day, and my fellow playmates in the courtyard and nearby walked to the Peace Gate many times to see the flowers. Not far to the north of the courtyard, it is the "new road" along the new road to the east is the first three gates (Xuanwu Gate, Peace Gate, Qianmen), which is the closest place to put flowers. When you get to the Peace Gate, you will not be allowed to enter, and after the Xuanwu Gate is the Peace Gate, you can no longer go forward, there is the People's Liberation Army standing guard, and all the roads leading to the front gate and Tiananmen Square are guarded regardless of the main roads and small roads. We sat on the ground on the main road of the blockade. The road has been blocked, there are no cars, and there are more people watching the flowers there.
Before the flowers begin, a searchlight is turned on, and many huge pillars of light are dangling in the sky, sometimes crossing, as if searching for something. As soon as we saw this pillar of light, we were excited, and we guessed what it was shiningIs it a plane sent by the enemy?In short, in our eyes, this pillar of light is mysterious.
The blooming began. As the colorful and brilliant fireworks exploded in the air, we cheered excitedly over and over again. Because of the proximity, the fireworks bomb felt like it exploded overhead, and it was clear to see that the thunderous rumble was even more exciting, enjoyable, and enjoyable. This ritual flower has to be put three times in total, with an interval of about 10 minutes each time, and I have the impression that each time is about 15 to 20 minutes!
At that time, the flowers were divided into several places, Tiananmen Square was the main field, the west was the military expo, the south was Taoran Pavilion, and the east was the workers' stadium, and people nearby could see it.
Of course, the fireworks at the Tiananmen stadium are the biggest and most spectacular.
It is the small bamboo stick in the middle of the popsicle, the wire is slender, about three inches.
When playing as a child, there are at least two people, and three or four people are the best. How to play: See who has the most out, who is the first, and arrange them in turn. First put all the sticks out of the palm of the hand, and then throw it instantly, catch it with the back of the hand, if it falls, it is considered a loss, and the next one is turned. If you catch them all, ask others how many they will drop, and how many will they drop. Because after the back of the hand is caught, the sticks are often pressed together, and the other party will say the number that makes you the most difficult to drop according to the situation in your hand, and then after the player thinks about it, he instantly throws the stick into the air, drops the number that the other party says, and catches all the others at the same time. If you are right, you will win, take them all, if you are wrong, you will lose even one, and it will be your turn to play. These popsicles were enough for us to play for half a day, and at that time, we children, walking on the road, looking for nothing else, searched for the popsicle lolli蓉 everywhere.
The cigarette case is folded into a small triangle and the three sides are slightly pinched in so that it lies on the ground without gaps.
Let's see who's bigger. The so-called big refers to whose cigarette box brand ranks first. At that time, we put these cigarette packs in order of trademarks and names, which was our children's own order, a kind of self-determined rule. In my impression, the first should be "China", "Lihua", then "Peony", and then I can't remember, like "Da Qianmen", "Ye", "Battle", all of which are backward.
When playing as a child, see whose brand is the hardest, and hard can be the priority party. Weak brands should be pinched first. Often at this time, the side being pinched the three sides of the triangle again, and then find a flat place to put it, and the gap with the ground is as small as possible. Then the priority party uses the triangle in his own hand to turn the underground over to win. The two sides can only squeeze for a while, and if they don't get over, the other party will squeeze you.
There are also skills in playing this, to find ways to find the gap in the underground cigarette box, round the arm when squeezing, and strive to insert the cigarette box in the hand into the gap of the underground cigarette box at the same time, with the breath of the arm, turn the underground cigarette box over. The most feared thing is that someone else's cigarette box is not over, and his back is facing the sky, at this time, the other party only needs to use too much force next to the cigarette box, and can turn the underground cigarette over with a light tap or a light stroke, which is very easy.
There is also a way to play: only use your hands to shoot, the rules are still the rules above, just use your hands to clap or make your hands into a nest, and rely on the sucking strength when you shoot to suck the cigarette case over.
As children, play was always important. At that time, you see, in the courtyard and alley, there were groups of children playing with something. Boys have boys' toys, girls have girls' play, girls generally jump rubber bands, when it is the turn of boys and girls to "pick eight characters" together, play and chop bags, it is more lively, chirping, red faces, cheerful laughter. It wasn't until the sound of parents shouting to go home for dinner sounded that everyone dispersed.
Now, we have food and things that we couldn't have imagined at that time. There was almost nothing that could not be bought, but it lost the simple and simple joy of that time.
