If we were to choose a dynasty in the history of China that was the most elegant, knowledgeable, romantic, and elegant, the Song Dynasty would definitely be at the top of the list. The romance and elegance of the Song Dynasty people were infiltrated to their bones. From the princes and nobles to the traffickers and pawns, the charm can be seen in everyone's movements. Some people in the Song Dynasty who are very good at enjoying themselves even spend money to buy ready-made face wash after getting up early, and they don't even start breakfast at home - all the things that can be solved with money are nothing. They play Cuju, Chuiwan, pot throwing, polo, and even women's sumo wrestling. There are also many types of night market snacks: lychee paste, plum ginger, lactose pour, Chengsha dumplings, crystal soap, dripping crystal cake... Just hearing the names is already mouth-watering. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they will put delicate flowers on their temples to show that "happiness is like flowers." So, how did the Song people, who knew how to eat, play, and understand life, spend their day? This book will lead everyone into the "elegance of the Song Dynasty". During the "Twelve Hours", just like the people of the Song Dynasty, they can experience elegant things such as "fragrance balls and quilts", "all hairpins", "playing pairs with fragrance", "potting of elegant songs", "ordering tea and painting soup", "adding fragrance to red sleeves".
