21 days, the Provincial Museum of national science and learning held lantern riddles, attracting a lot of people to guessing riddles. One of the journalists in Qilu, Yu Yue,
dictator: the Ji'nan lantern riddle association secretary general Wang Lin
Ji'nan has always had the custom of guessing lantern riddles in the Lantern Festival
Ji'nan's guessing lantern riddle custom has always been, but it was usually copied from the book, without a creator, and the riddle maker knows it does not know it. In the mid 80s of last century, twenty or thirty lanterns of our lantern riddles set up the first riddle organization of the Ji'nan City, the Ji'nan Railway Bureau, the riddle of the riddle of the train head, to discuss riddles of guessing riddles, and to hold lantern riddles at the festival in the railway culture palace and the railway workers' club during the festival. Slowly with the change of the association, the association is cancelled, but we are very enthusiastic, and we will also pay for some prizes to go to Zhongshan Park, which makes people do not understand.
since 1994, we have held the lantern riddle race at Baotu Spring park. This event has lasted for 22 years this year. I have been presided over every year to select one of the top, two top and three flowers. At the very beginning, it was held on the fifteen night of the first month. At that time, the Baotu Spring park had not been expanded, especially crowded, and many policemen kept order at the scene. Later, for safety reasons, the date was advanced to twelve and thirteen in the first month. Originally, at the beginning of the first month, it started to "guess" every night. Now it is only five days.
until now, there are still many people who participate in the exhibition, and the level of guessing riddles has also improved. But the first few of them have been fixed in recent years. In 1998, the lantern riddle Association of Ji'nan was founded. There are more than 60 members. I am the Secretary General. However, because of the problem of funds, the operation of the association is close to the end, but the riddles that the members hold and participate have never stopped, and the team of the enthusiasts is still growing. There are more than 100 riddles that are riddled with lantern riddles, and five or six of them are outstanding.
guessing riddles need to increase the loss of Chinese characters to
the content of the riddle of
why the lantern riddle is unique in China. It is because of the characteristics of ancient Chinese characters that many characters are made up of several characters, which will increase the loss of these characters and disassemble them, so that some riddles can be made out of the riddles. For example, some Chinese characters are upper and lower structures, so they can use the concept of azimuth. Nanjing refers to "small", and West Lake refers to the three point water on the left. It also depends on how many things a person has in his mind. It needs a wide range of knowledge to guess the riddle, but it does not need to be proficient, for example, the root and power of the mathematics are not very useful, but knowing that there are two things. It is not difficult for those who are not to be difficult. Many good lantern riddles are not deliberately produced, but rely on riddles and riddles in the mind for a moment of collision, that is, aura.
more than 800 riddles
riddles also have "riddle", the Ming Dynasty has a "Guangling eighteen", the evolution to the Qing Dynasty has more than 500, and each case has several names, so it is very complicated, but many are to remedy a lantern riddle must not be. However, there are several puzzles that are very practical, such as the glass grid, which tells you only riddles, without riddles, so that you can guess the answers. Others include pear flower, rolling curtain, swing and so on.
when I was in high school, I was interested in lantern riddles. When I learned not to be systematic and not professional, I was able to guess one or two occasionally. In order to study the truth and buy some related books, the level has been improved.
I prefer a riddle to historical allusions. For example, in the story of Tongcheng, Anhui, there is a sentence "let him have three feet again". According to this riddle, the answer is Chen Nengkuan, Zhangjiajie. I have participated in many lantern riddles in the whole country and in the province, and I have won the prize by using the riddle of allusion.
for years of this amateur job, there are more than 800 puzzles, this number is not so much, but I would rather have the riddle of myself than I have, each one is deliberate, try not to let others pick up a fault, and avoid homogeneity. In fact, the riddles are not copyrighted. It is easy to think of a piece of riddle making and ideas. For example, there was a "red sun heat", when the riddles came out almost "red sun burning like fire". There is also "last door today", the answer is "pornographic door". However, when doing riddles, it is necessary to make the riddles and riddles close together. For example, I once had a riddle of "a special student of sports", "Laozi Dao Jun, born in eighty-one years of pregnancy."
want apprentice to train lantern riddle talent
through continuous consultation with other field riddles in the competition, it can be said that the guessing level of Ji'nan is in the middle and upper reaches of the country. Zhou Xin, who was more concerned about the Chinese lantern riddle conference last year, won the championship. I had gone to Qingdao for two national and provincial riddles, and there was a race to 1/3. The prizes before me were full, and the host didn't let me guess at the end. But guess the lantern riddle is not a prize, in which to enjoy.
lantern riddle is a very traditional and popular thing. It has a broad mass foundation. People may have never experienced a lot of things in their life, but I believe you should have guessed some riddles, such as the little riddles that parents would have given to guessing "thousands of lines of line falling into the water" and "the red books of hemp house", which test the ability of the children. Today's lantern riddles are not part of the Lantern Festival patents, and there are many people who guessing riddles everyday. However, according to our exchanges with other places, we find that many young people in the south are guessing riddles. The age of Ji'nan lantern riddles is somewhat broken.
lantern riddles, though annual, have declined in recent years, with few young participants. The youngest in Ji'nan lantern riddles is more than 40 years old. Nowadays, the pace of society is so fast that young people are rushing to survive. There is no time and energy to intervene in this activity. But in fact, riddles are both money - saving and crowded, which can be made into riddles, like introducing products to enterprises, promoting the spirit of business to riddles, or hoping to have more ways and opportunities to guess the riddles in the future.
I am 60 years old this year, looking forward to bringing out a few small lantern riddles for Ji'nan, but now the children are school-based, young people work, and the knowledge needed for riddles is more extensive, and the talent is not yet unearthed from the activities. There were two young people who followed me to study, and then gradually faded away from the circle. I am also sorting out my work and preparing a book called "Lulu riddle". I intend to put on three hundred riddles, add his own notes, and have already arranged more than 100. The book should be very thin, and it is not intended to be published. It should be printed to the lantern riddle Museum and the Shandong provincial library. It should be a contribution to the inheritance of lantern riddles. (Yu Yue)
