Travel Back in Time: The Imperial Examination Parade in Xipu Village, Shouning

"That person is walking with a mahjong table on his head!" Duoduo pointed at the top scholar's hexagonal official hat. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, the procession of successful candidates with their flowing sleeves passed by the thousand-year-old camphor tree. Old Chen was busy explaining, "This village has produced eighteen successful candidates, even more impressive than your Lego castle!" Duoduo was handed a brush and tried to write the character 'Kui' on red paper, but the ink turned into a black sun. The old man selling sugar paintings joked, "Little heroine, you're writing in a secret script!" Suddenly, the top scholar handed over some pastries, and the little girl hid behind my skirt in fear, "Will he test me on the Three Hundred Tang Poems?" As the sun set, we left through the Chasing the Moon Lane. Duoduo wore a willow wreath as a top scholar's hat, shouting Confucian phrases all the way. Old Chen, carrying the sleeping little scholar on his back, smiled wryly, "Great, now even her sleep talk will be in couplets."
