origin

What is "three parts of one mu"? It turned out that in the Qing Dynasty, the feudal emperors living in the courtyard of Shengong set aside a piece of land in Zhongnanhai in order to "understand" the farming time and "familiarize" the seasonal order, and show their importance to agricultural production. Every year, they "test their own cultivation" here and follow it from generation to generation, and no one else can use it. This land is just one third of an acre, so people extend it to their personal interests or interests The personal sphere of influence is "three parts of one mu".

People often use "three parts of an acre" as the pronoun of egoism. So, how did the phrase "three parts of an acre" come from?

Manchu used to be a fishing and hunting people in northern China. After the Qing Dynasty was established in 1644, in order to know the farming time and the seasons in time, the emperor who lived in the Shengong courtyard took the Dragon chariot to plough the land from Zhengyangmen to xiannongtan during the waking season. At that time, this piece of land was designated as "yangeng field", which was cultivated by the emperor and empress every year, indicating that the whole world was rich in grain, which showed that they attached great importance to agricultural production. This practice has been carried on from generation to generation, and no one can use the land for other purposes. At that time, the land cultivated by the emperor happened to be "three parts of an acre", so people extended it and called personal interests or personal sphere of influence "three parts of an acre".

Three parts of an acre. Describe your territory and sphere of influence. "So they only perform their duties within the prescribed scope of" power ". What can the Secretary of the municipal Party committee say? He can't go beyond his power! That's the "three parts of an acre" of all departments, and no one else has the right to do it.

Three parts per mu and dragon head Festival

"One mu and three parts of land" is also related to "dragon head Festival" on February 2. Please refer to the introduction of "dragon joint" below:

On the second day of the second lunar month, it is said to be the day when the dragon heads up. It is a traditional festival in rural China, called "dragon head Festival".

It is said that the festival originated in the period of Fuxi, the head of the three emperors. Fuxi's "emphasis on agriculture and mulberry, farming affairs.". Every year, on the second day of the second lunar month, "the emperor's wedding brings food, the emperor's driving ploughs by himself", and takes care of one mu and three parts of the land by himself. Later, Emperor Huang, Tang Yao and Xia Yu followed the example of the former king. In Zhou Dynasty, King Wu not only followed this traditional practice, but also implemented it as an important national policy. On the second day of February, a grand ceremony was held to let all civil and military officials plough one mu of land. This is the origin of "dragon head Festival".

On Dragon's head Festival, every family in northern rural areas makes cakes, which are called "dragon scale cakes". It is said that if a dragon has scales, it will not be frozen. We also need to make noodles, called "longxumian", to make the Dragon stronger and stronger in the new year. And then there is "boiled pig head". The pig head is cut off during the killing of pigs in the twelfth lunar month, and then it is hung on the beam of the house until February 2. It is picked up for washing and cooking. The smell of meat is everywhere in every yard, waiting for the dragon to wake up. It is said that if the dragon does not wake up on this day, the thunder will call. Wake up the dragon, people are competing to lead home. Early in the morning, I went to the river to carry water. Along the way, I sprinkled rice bran or kitchen dust all the way to the courtyard. The purpose of leading the dragon to respect the dragon is to have a good year's weather and harvest. There is a saying: "February 2, the dragon heads up, the big hoard is full, the small hoard flows.". So during the dragon's head Festival, every courtyard also needs to be painted. People hold a small box full of kitchen dust in their hands, and then spread paintings in the courtyard one by one. First, they draw the sharp top of the warehouse, then the bulging belly of the warehouse, and finally draw the door of the warehouse. The door is very small, like a treasure gourd. Then grab some grains and put them in the barn, and press a small stone on them to prevent chickens and birds from eating.

When the dragon looks up, the dormant animals begin to wake up, and the pests are ready to move. So when people celebrate the dragon's rise, they have the custom of restraining pests. On this day, every family wants to "fry New Year's cake". They fry the new year's cake in the pan and turn it over several times every time. It is said that this means that insects will be killed and crops will not be ruined.

Nowadays, every family in the countryside is well-off, and more and more people are celebrating "dragon head Festival". Instead of relying on "dragon head", people use this ancient custom as an entertainment activity to enliven cultural life and add a little more festive atmosphere to the festival.
