《东京梦华录》

《东京梦华录》 is the Northern Song urban-custom text used in 152.夜色如水话七夕，牛郎原本是保安？【民俗学系列填坑啦】 to show how [[QixiFestival|七夕 / Qixi]] became a city market and festival-object system. The episode cites its descriptions of pre-Qixi selling and making of fruit figures, double lotus, water toys, seedling boards, sprouting displays, and 摩侯罗 dolls.

For this wiki, the text matters because it turns Qixi from only a celestial love story into Material History Narrative. Festival objects, toy markets, craft miniatures, offerings, and urban preparation show how belief and entertainment become concrete goods, seasonal labor, and public display.
