516 [Travel to the Universe Kingdom]
Culture is worldly, and the world is Korean.
South Korea has only more than 90,000 square kilometers of land. It has applied for World Cultural Heritage since 1988 and has owned 7 World Heritage Sites by 2000. In a few years, it will become 10. On average, there will be 1 world cultural heritage in less than 10,000 square kilometers. It is worthy of being my country of universe, so terrifying!
But there are only so many material and cultural heritages and cannot be transformed out of thin air. Then apply for intangible cultural heritage.
Therefore, this year, South Korea successfully applied for the sacrifices of palaces and ancestral temples as world intangible cultural heritage. Since then, one was passed every two years, and in 2009, it even passed five in one breath. The world's intangible cultural abnormality is like wholesale cabbage.
The most familiar thing for us people in China is probably the Dragon Boat Festival in Jiangling, which caused a stir in the country's public opinion at that time.
So China has followed the official and the folk, and those who play the suona will apply, and those who play the eagle and hunt the hunting will apply. Even the grassland singer Humai has become an intangible cultural heritage.
The root of this phenomenon is actually to develop the tourism industry!
South Korea's tourism industry started to take off in 1988, and it was also in this year that South Korea applied for World Cultural Heritage. The Asian financial crisis hit South Korea's economy hard. South Korea decided to vigorously revitalize the tourism industry, so it became even more crazy when applying for World Heritage. There is nothing fun about this broken place, and Korean waves have not yet become a trend, so they can only rely on applying for World Heritage to increase their popularity.
The first stop of Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun’s honeymoon trip was Jeju Island, South Korea, and a local tour guide was specially hired.
The tour guide is named Ming Taixun. He claims to be a descendant of the Emperor Ming Yuzhen of the Great Xia. He has gone to the mountain city several times to worship their "Last Emperor". However, this is nothing strange. After Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Kingdom of Daxia, he sent the Emperor, Empress and Empress Dowager to Goryeo. His descendants have reproduced tens of thousands of people in South Korea and North Korea.
The descendants of the Ming family in South Korea go to Shancheng to worship their ancestors every year. This kind of worship is limited to wealthy and powerful people. Ming Tae-hoon is not qualified to participate, so he can only fly to China to join in the fun at his own expense. Therefore, he "accidentally met" noble people in the clan in the mountain city, and was sponsored by his clan to study in China. After graduation, he served as the assistant to the general manager of a joint venture.
Unfortunately, Asian financial crisis hit, and Korean companies laid off employees. The joint venture in China was closed directly. Ming Tae-hoon could only return to Jeju Island as a tour guide. His Chinese was very good, so he became a special talent for travel agencies, specializing in receiving Chinese tourists. Moreover, the main focus is the Wanwan tourists at this time. At this time, Wanwan tourists are the second largest source of tourists in South Korea's tourism industry, second only to Japanese tourists.
Ming Tae-hoon worked in China for several years, and of course he knew Song Weiyang. He was very excited all the way and introduced: "There are three nostalgies in Jeju Island, no thieves, no gates, and no beggars. Jeju people have lived in this land since ancient times. The hard living conditions have cultivated the virtue of their neighbors' mutual assistance. Therefore, no one needs to make a living by stealing and begging, so there is no need to set up a gate to defend their neighbors. Therefore, when the owner goes out to work, he builds a cross-border at the door of his house to show that there is no one in the house. This cross-border is also called the "main railing".
"Is that the only thing?" Lin Zhuoyun asked, pointing to the wooden bar in front of her.
Ming Taixun nodded and said, "Yes. One wooden bar means that the owner is nearby. Visitors can wait or shout; two wooden bars indicate that there are children at home, but no adults; three wooden bars indicate that the owner is traveling far away and will not go home in a short time; four wooden bars indicate that there are widows at home, and men are not allowed to enter at will."
Lin Zhuoyun smiled and said, "It's quite interesting."
Song Weiyang couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "It seems that the tourist attractions all over the world are the same, they are quite fooling."
"It's not a fool," Ming Tae-hoon said with a serious expression, "Mr. Song, this is really the traditional folk custom of Jeju Island. The folk village we are visiting now retains the style of the same as hundreds of years ago."
"I believe it." Song Weiyang was too lazy to say anything more.
Jeju Island is really good at playing, there are a lot of alias, such as Lover Island, Honeymoon Island, Romantic Island, Mythology Island, Oriental Hawaii... It includes everything and all kinds of legends. It is said that there are more than 18,000 ghosts and gods living on the island, which is comparable to the 8 million demon gods of Riben.
Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun held hands and wandered around the folk village. They walked through several highlights one after another, and ran into a small shop.
The tour guide Wanwan was talking about the history of horse raising in Jeju Island, and cooperated with the store owner to sell horse bone meal and other products. Soon the store owner began to sell popular honey again, claiming to be pure natural and unsweetened honey, and added water to the honey. Then a miracle happened. The honey rotated after adding water and soon became a honeycomb-like mesh. The store owner said that this was a special live bacteria in Jeju Island honey, which had various good effects on the human body, and even had the effect of strengthening aphrodisiac and beauty.
The tourists from the Wanwan Tour Group were amazed and paid for the purchase, paying full IQ tax at one time.
"Is this true?" Lin Zhuoyun asked the tour guide in a low voice.
Ming Taixun’s customer is Song Weiyang. He doesn’t make money by selling things and paying commissions. He took the two out of the store and said, “The honey in the store should be pure natural, but it will definitely not be that magical. If you want to buy it, you can buy it at the airport when you leave, and the price is only one-fifth of that here.”
Lin Zhuoyun has transformed into a curious baby during her travels: "Then why does honey with water turn, and honeycomb-shaped hexagonal patterns appear?"
Song Weiyang couldn't help but complain: "If you go back to China, you can just buy a bottle of honey, and most of them can be shaken out, or even fake honey."
"What scientific principle is it?" Lin Zhuoyun asked.
"How do I know?" Song Weiyang said.
Song Weiyang's only understanding of honey was that he was doing business and gave gifts in his previous life. When he learned that the other party liked to drink honey water, he got a little bit of stone honey. This thing was only in the cracks of rocks in the mountainous areas south of the Yellow River, or in Caiyun Province, wild black bees built nests on cliffs to produce a small amount of stone honey.
It only took a few small pieces of stone honey, which cost Song Weiyang tens of thousands of dollars and owed favors to get it.
Song Weiyang brought Shi Mi to visit. The big guy who received the gift was overjoyed. Not only did he negotiate a business, the other party forced him to buy honey money for 30,000 yuan. He couldn't buy it even if he had money, so he could only take his luck. The other party also talked to Song Weiyang about the tricks of appreciating honey, saying that the methods on the market are basically fake, and the artificially prepared fake honey can be shaken into a honeycomb shape with water.
People in the world have all kinds of hobbies, including those who play with antiques, those who play with jade, and those who play with walnuts or gourds. Song Weiyang just happened to meet someone who plays with honey.
The two went to see the Hai Nu in the afternoon, and were tired of being in the hotel at night, and the next day they ran to the racecourse to have fun.
It happened to meet the winding tour group yesterday. The tour guide continued to fool the whole story, saying that Jeju Island was a horse-raising base in the Yuan Dynasty and that many famous horses had been raised over the past few hundred years. It also said that during the Wanli period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led his army to attack Busan, and Lee Sun-sin won the final battle by riding Jeju horses.
Song Weiyang couldn't help but complain: "Li Shunchen is a navy general. Can his horse run on the sea?"
The tour guide's face was very unhappy and retorted: "Li Sun-sen also fought a land battle."
Song Weiyang retreated in an instant and pulled Lin Zhuoyun to ride a horse. Although this broken horse farm raised a lot of horses, the local varieties were very short, and the imported horse breeds were actually imported.
Lin Zhuoyun was very happy, riding with Song Weiyang, holding a reins in her husband's arms and riding a horse, singing a popular song: "Let us live freely and live freely as a companion in the world, riding a horse and sharing the prosperity of the world..."
In the past two years, "My Fair Princess" has been really popular!
"I'm so happy," Lin Zhuoyun rode a few times, and said with unsatisfactory feelings, "Why do we ride horses and play after we return home? By the way, does Shenghai have a horse farm?"
Song Weiyang said: "Yes, we can still raise one."
Speaking of raising horses, Song Weiyang suddenly laughed out loud for no reason because he remembered a famous person. The man's father was a martial artist, archaeologist, an old Western doctor, a gynecologist, a chairman of the Bada Hutong, a cuckold king among the Bada ****, and a family member of the Mongolian Navy commander... Anyway, there are a lot of titles.
Yes, it was Yu Qian who smoked, drank and permed his hair. He was also the executive director of the China Horse Industry Association and the vice president of the Beijing Rock Association.
