The children were fascinated, and the adults were also fascinated. As the story progressed, everyone's face showed a look of yearning and intoxication.
Just as the elders of Zufar finished telling the ancient legend, and the scene was still immersed in dreams and awe, a Ming Dynasty sailor stood up. His voice was loud and firm, and he began to share a heroic story of his country.
"In our Ming Dynasty, there is a legend about an extremely brave general - Li Jing. He is not only a wise and brave strategist, but also the patron saint in the hearts of the people." The crew member began to tell, his eyes flickering with respect for this man.
Infinite admiration for historical heroes.
"The story happened in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the frontiers were restless and foreign invasions were constant.

He was familiar with the art of war, proficient in martial arts, and had a heart to serve the country and the people.

"One year, the northern Turkic forces were ready to invade the Central Plains. The imperial court was furious and sent Li Jing to lead the army.

"In the end, after a thrilling battle, Li Jing successfully defeated the main force of the Turks and protected the peace of the border. His heroic deeds quickly spread across the country and became a favorite story passed down by word of mouth."
"However, Li Jing did not become complacent because of this. He built water conservancy projects, encouraged farming, reduced taxes, and rectified officialdom... A series of reform measures made the Ming Dynasty prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
"Li Jing spent his whole life fighting for the country and the people. After his death, he was posthumously named Duke Wei. His deeds were recorded in history and became a model for future generations to admire. Whenever the country is in crisis, people will always think of this
A heroic general and his immortal exploits."
When the crew of the Ming Dynasty talked about this, their voices were full of pride and emotion. The people around them heard it with excitement, as if they had witnessed the glorious moment of that historical hero with their own eyes.
As the story of the crew of the Ming Dynasty ended, there was silence all around. The people in Zufar were still immersed in the shock of General Li Jing's heroic deeds. After a while, a young man from Zufar broke the silence, with admiration shining in his eyes.
With a bright light, he asked:
"The Ming Dynasty is really full of talents. We are deeply admired by General Li Jing's bravery and wisdom. In our Zufa'er, although there are no heroes as powerful as General Li Jing, we also have many unknown but equally respected people. For example,
Our old fisherman Saleh has been with the sea all his life and has rescued boats and fishermen in distress countless times. Do you have any ordinary yet great stories like this in Ming Dynasty?"
An old sailor from the Ming Dynasty heard this, nodded with a smile, and said slowly: "Of course, there is no shortage of such stories in the land of the Ming Dynasty. Let me tell you a story about Uncle Zhao, an old fisherman in our village.
Bar."
"Uncle Zhao is the oldest fisherman in our village. He was also a brave navigator when he was young. He went out to sea many times to fish and experienced countless storms. But what makes me most unforgettable is not his bravery when he was young, but
Something he did in his later years." The old sailor said this with a tone full of respect.
"One year, the village suffered an unprecedented severe drought, with almost no crops harvested, and the villagers faced the threat of famine. Uncle Zhao saw it and was anxious in his heart. He did not choose to escape, but decided to go to sea again to find
Those legendary undiscovered fishing grounds hope to bring back life-saving food to the village."
"The wind and waves on the sea were more fierce than when he was young, but Uncle Zhao relied on his years of experience and perseverance to overcome the difficulties. After several days of difficult navigation, he finally discovered a rich school of fish. Zhao
Instead of enjoying the harvest alone, Bo immediately returned to the ship and distributed most of the fish to every household in the village to help them tide over the difficulties."
"Although Uncle Zhao's deeds are not as spectacular as General Li Jing's, he is still a hero in our hearts. He used his actions to explain what responsibility and responsibility are." When the old sailor said this, his eyes were slightly filled with tears.
Hong, obviously full of deep nostalgia and admiration for Uncle Zhao.
After listening to the story, the young man of Zufa'er was also deeply moved by this story. He said with emotion: "Whether it is General Li Jing or Uncle Zhao, they are shining examples in their respective eras and regions. Their bravery and wisdom not only saved the world, but also saved the world."
It has not only touched the country and the people, but also conveyed a spirit of perseverance and courage to take on responsibilities. This spirit is something that all of us should learn and inherit."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, another young Ming crew member also joined the discussion. He said excitedly: "Speaking of inheritance, our Ming Dynasty not only attaches great importance to the inheritance of heroic deeds, but also pays more attention to skills and
Cultural exchange. As we just saw in the handicraft workshop, the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty and Zufar have benefited a lot from each other through exchanges and learning. This kind of cross-cultural exchange not only makes our skills more sophisticated
, and also made our friendship deeper."
The craftsman representative of Zufaer also nodded in agreement and said: "It is true, skills have no borders. Through today's exchange, we not only learned the exquisite craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, but also felt the enthusiasm and talent of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. Such exchanges are of great benefit to both of us.
They are all valuable assets. We look forward to having more opportunities like this in the future.”
As the night deepens, the conversations around the campfire become more warm and profound, where wisdom and emotions from different cultural backgrounds intertwine and collide.
A young scholar from Zufaer, with curiosity shining in his eyes, asked the Ming Dynasty scholar beside him: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty culture has a long history, and its poetry and songs are particularly outstanding. I wonder if I can experience it on the spot?"
The scholar of the Ming Dynasty smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "I must obey my order. But there is no pen, ink, paper or inkstone here, so I recited it orally and presented a song "Silent Night Thoughts" to suit this scene." After saying this, he cleared his throat.
, chanted slowly: "There is bright moonlight in front of my bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground. I raise my head to look at the bright moon, and lower my head to think about my hometown."
As soon as the poem came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the bonfire seemed to burn more gently, reflecting on everyone's face, adding a bit of homesickness. The people of Zufar nodded in admiration, and an old man sighed: "This
Although the poem is short, it is sincere and makes people involuntarily immersed in longing for home. The culture of the Ming Dynasty is indeed broad and profound."
The scholar of the Ming Dynasty shook his head humbly and said: "Poetry is a small way, and the big way lies in cultivating one's morality, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. What we pay more attention to is how to put what we have learned into practice to benefit the people."
At this time, a young warrior from Zufar stood up and said proudly: "The knowledge of the Ming Dynasty is admirable, but we Zufar people also have our pride. We advocate bravery and freedom, and call the sea our home.
I use a boat as a horse. I wonder if there are any warriors in the Ming Dynasty who are willing to compete with me in martial arts?"
A burly man walked out of the crew of the Ming Dynasty. He smiled and patted the young warrior on the shoulder and said: "Martial arts are not for fighting, but for protection. However, since you are so elegant, I will accompany you to practice a few moves."
, stop as soon as you click.”
The two found an open space, each did a few warm-up moves, and then began to fight. At first, the Zuffar warriors attacked fiercely, and their fists were fierce and powerful; while the men of the Ming Dynasty used softness to overcome strength, and easily defused the opponent's offensive. A few
After the round, both of them were sweating profusely, but they looked at each other and smiled, showing a little more respect for each other.
"Brother Ming, what a skill!" Warrior Zuffar gasped and praised.
"You're not bad either. Zulfa'er's martial arts is indeed unique." The Ming Dynasty man responded. The two shook hands and made peace, and there was warm applause from all around.
At this time, a young woman from Zufar brought a plate of fruit and said softly: "Everyone who has come from afar, please try our Zufar specialty - coconut milk mango. I hope this sweetness can relieve your pain."
of fatigue.”
Everyone took the fruits, tasted them one after another, and were full of praise. A scribe from the Ming Dynasty said while eating: "The delicious food, beautiful scenery, and such harmonious exchanges make this trip really worthwhile. May the friendship between Ming Dynasty and Zufa'er last forever."
Save and witness more good times together."
"Well said!" Everyone agreed in unison, and the laughter and laughter around the campfire rang out again.
As the night progressed, people around the bonfire seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and were immersed in sharing and communicating with each other. An old musician from Zufar was infected by the warm atmosphere in front of him and gently stroked the dota in his hand.
Erqin said slowly:
"Music is our common language. It can span thousands of mountains and rivers and connect every soul that longs to understand and be understood. Let me use this piano to add another melody to the wonderful time tonight."
After that, he lightly plucked the strings, and a melodious and slightly sad melody flowed in the air. This piece tells a story about separation and reunion. The melody contains longing for distant relatives.
There is also hope for reunion in the future. People in the Ming Dynasty listened quietly, as if they could feel the emotional resonance that spans time and space.
At the end of the song, a young poet from the Ming Dynasty stood up. He looked at the stars in the sky, and with a sudden inspiration, he softly chanted:
"Stars and Han are separated by two frontiers, and the faint sound of the piano speaks to our hearts.
The exotic customs are the same as this night, and we enjoy the bright moon and talk about it.
Although we have close friends across the sea, we are even happier as if we are neighbors across the world.
I hope that every year and this night, the moon will shine upon the love of the world."
His poems were like a breeze blowing on the face, making everyone present feel the charm of culture and the warmth of humanity. People in Zufar applauded and expressed their appreciation for the talent of this young poet.
Subsequently, the exchange topics became more extensive and in-depth. Some people talked about their respective religious beliefs and philosophical thinking, some shared their adventures and insights during their journeys, and others put forward their suggestions for future trade and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Outlook and expectations.
"We believe that through continuous exchanges and cooperation, the understanding and friendship between Ming Dynasty and Zufar will become deeper and deeper." A Ming Dynasty official said with confidence.
"Yes, just like the bonfire tonight, although it will eventually go out, the warmth and light it leaves behind will forever illuminate our way forward." An elder in Zufar responded affectionately.
.
It was late at night, and the people around the bonfire began to disperse one after another, but the warmth and connection in their hearts born of communication were like an eternal flame, illuminating each other's hearts.
As the night deepened, the originally warm and harmonious atmosphere suddenly underwent a subtle change. A burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility, and several nervous-looking Zufar soldiers were seen hurriedly running over. Their arrival seemed to bring
There was an uneasy atmosphere.
"Report! We have discovered a group of unidentified pirates approaching our village!" the leading soldier reported eagerly, with tension in his tone that could not be ignored.
This sudden news surprised everyone present, and the originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere solidified instantly. People from Daming and Zuffar quickly exchanged glances. Needless to say, they all knew that they must unite as one at this moment and work together.
Faced with this sudden threat.
"We must act immediately to protect the village and innocent villagers." A general from the Ming Dynasty stood up decisively. His voice was firm and powerful, and quickly stabilized people's hearts.
Under the command of the general, the people of Daming and Zufar quickly organized themselves. They divided their labors and cooperated. Some were responsible for guarding and defending, while others were responsible for notifying and evacuating the villagers to safe areas. There was a tense and tense atmosphere in the air.
There was a determined atmosphere, and everyone understood that this would be a tough battle.
However, just when both sides were preparing to meet the enemy, the situation took an unexpected turn. The so-called "pirates" suddenly stopped and the leader shouted loudly: "We are misunderstood explorers.
We are not pirates! We just strayed into this sea area and ask for a peaceful resolution of the matter!"
