The atmosphere of Chinese New Year is relatively strong in rural areas, and the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is often much stronger in rural areas than in cities.
The more big cities are, the more high-rise buildings there are, and people are busy with work. Sometimes even if neighbors live for several years, they may not be able to say a few words. It has to be said that the current high-rise buildings, steel and cement have reduced the feelings between people.
separated.
In the past, people often said that there are neighbors, relatives and friends, and fellow villagers. It can be seen that the relationship between fellow villagers and neighbors is often relatively good. But in big cities now, how many real neighbors are there?
In the past, there were several families living in a large courtyard, and a group of children were running around naked, basically hating each other emotionally, but what about now?
Pingshui County is only a small county, so it is very lively as the New Year is approaching, especially the small villages, which are even more festive. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, every household begins to post couplets, visit the graves to visit ancestors, make dumplings, and prepare New Year's Eve dinner.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the town is even more noisy with gongs and drums. The Yangko and gongs and drums teams are so lively. Lin Yuan also likes to spend the New Year at home every year because he likes the harmonious and lively atmosphere.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was time to visit relatives and friends. There were not many relatives in Lin Yuan's family, which was Xiao Yue'e's natal family. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when he passed by his maternal family, Lin Yuan left Pingshui and returned to Jiangzhong City, booking a trip to Western Sichuan.
of air tickets.
Today's Lin Yuan is no longer the Lin Yuan he was when he was in school. People often say that people can't help themselves in the world. Now that you have entered the society, you naturally have to deal with people. During the Chinese New Year, many friends always have to move around, and others
You don’t have to go to visit, but Xu Qingfeng and Lin Yuan will go to pay New Year’s greetings no matter what.
I didn’t stay in Linyuan in western Sichuan for too long. After staying for one day, I bought a ticket to Qin Province on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and flew directly to Chang’an, Qin Province.
Chang'an is an ancient city of several generations, and Qin Province also has a long history. The Qin State was located in what is now Qin Province. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and established Xianyang as the capital at that time. The airport close to Qin Province is in Xianyang. People often say that the Qin River is eight hundred miles away.
, swallowing up mountains and rivers, Guanzhong in Qin Province has always been a battleground for military strategists. In history, many emperors occupied Guanzhong and then looked at the world.
Qin Province is a northern province. It is also colder than Jiangzhong, but it is not as cold as Yanjing. Lin Yuan got off the plane and walked out of the passage. Not far away, Dang Shaobo and Gan Yunfeng were waiting at the exit.
"Brother Lin, welcome to Qin Province." Dang Shaobo stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Gan Yunfeng also consciously took the salute from Lin Yuan's hand. In a sense, Gan Yunfeng can now be regarded as Lin Yuan's.
subordinate, and he is highly regarded by Lin Yuan in Xinyuan Charity.
"Qin Province is the hometown of Qin State, and Chang'an has been the ancient capital for generations. I have long wanted to come here. When I filled out my application form, I almost applied for a university in Qin Province." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Dr. Lin, you're going to have a good few days of shopping this time. I'll be your guide. There are many interesting places in Chang'an, such as the ruins of the Daming Palace, the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, etc." Gan Yunfeng said with a smile.
"That's right, you shouldn't be in a hurry this time. The special training class won't start until the 15th, right?" Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
"The sixteenth day of the first lunar month." Lin Yuan smiled.
"That's plenty of time, but I can stay here for ten days." Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
"I want to have a good time shopping. When I was in school, I heard many classmates from Qin Province saying that Qin Province's snacks are very famous. This time I want to have a good time." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
While talking, the three of them left the airport together. There was a car waiting outside. Gan Yunfeng put Lin Yuan's salute into the trunk and then took charge of driving. Lin Yuan and Dang Shaobo sat in the back seat chatting.
The airport is still some distance from Chang'an city. In less than forty minutes, Lin Yuan saw the ancient city wall of Chang'an City. Dang Shaobo introduced from the side: "The ancient city wall of Chang'an City is the most complete ancient city wall in the country.
One of the cities in China, the central area within the second ring road is basically surrounded by walls. The city wall of Chang'an City belongs to the Ming Dynasty City Wall. You came at the wrong time. If it takes two months, it will be very nice to walk and ride a bicycle on it. "
"That area is the Bell Tower, and not far away is the Drum Tower. Near the Drum Tower is the Muslim Street, where many famous snacks are gathered. There is also the Academy Gate City God Temple and so on."
Lin Yuan sat in the car and looked out the window. He had to say that there were indeed big differences between Chang'an City and Jiangzhou Province. Jiangzhong City had a strong modern atmosphere, but Chang'an City gave people a sense of ancient heaviness.
Adjacent are the ancient city walls and some well-preserved monuments.
Lin Yuan also visited Yanjing years ago. Chang'an City is completely different from Yanjing. As the current capital, Yanjing is the economic and political center of the country. It is more prosperous than Chang'an, but some places are not as good as Chang'an.
Well preserved...
The car passed through the bell tower all the way. Because the car was quite congested, Lin Yuan had time to take a good look at the so-called bell tower. From a distance, the bell tower looked like a loft-style building with double eaves, three drops of water, and four corners with spiers.
The big bell, as for the drum tower, is similar in style to the bell tower, except that there are multiple large drums on it.
Dang Shaobo introduced: "The so-called morning bells and evening drums, the bell tower was used to tell time. The bell tower bells can be heard throughout Chang'an City. Every day at 9 a.m., 12 noon, and 3 p.m., Jingyun on the Bell Tower in Xi'an
The bells ring 24 times each; at 6 o'clock in the evening, first the twenty-four solar terms drums on the drum tower ring in unison, and then the sky drum rings 24 times to announce the dusk."
Morning bells and evening drums have always been a tradition of Taoism in China. Taoism is a sect native to China, and many things are similar to traditional Chinese medicine. Lin Yuan also knows this.
It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Yuan arrived at the airport. It took him forty minutes to get from the airport to the city. There was a traffic jam at the Bell Tower area, and he was delayed for a while. It was already three-thirty in the afternoon when he arrived at Dang Shaobo's residence.
Dang Shaobo lives in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is an old community with a large house, three bedrooms and one living room, and the house is well decorated.
Dang Shaobo led Lin Yuan through the door and said with a smile: "My wife and children have gone back to my hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival. I am the only one at home these days. You are here to keep me company."
"It seems that I influenced Brother Dang to go home for the New Year. My sister-in-law won't have any objections, right?" Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Do you have any opinions? I basically go home every year. If I don't come back this year, I will have an opinion." Dang Shaobo smiled and poured water for Lin Yuan himself, while Gan Yunfeng put Lin Yuan's greetings in a room.
Prepared bedroom.
"It's already late today, and you've had a bumpy journey. I'll take you to see the teacher tomorrow morning." Dang Shaobo put the tea in front of Lin Yuan and said.
"I am a guest who does as he pleases. Everything is arranged by Brother Dang." Lin Yuan said with a smile, picking up the tea cup and smelling it: "Well, it's the best Longjing. Brother Dang, your tea is not simple."
"I got a fortune from my teacher. Although he doesn't care about world affairs, his superiors still send him some good tea every year." Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
After chatting with Dang Shaobo in the room for a while, Lin Yuan followed Dang Shaobo out. For dinner, he had Qin Province's signature mutton steamed buns. Dang Shaobo lived in Chang'an, so the restaurant he found was very authentic.
"Well, it tastes very good. I have eaten the packaged mutton dip brought by my classmates from Qin Province once before. It didn't taste very good. It seems that I want to eat the authentic one." Lin Yuan praised while eating.
"Mutton Soup is the signature dish of Qin Province, but you can't just find it in any restaurant. If you want to eat it, you have to look for a century-old restaurant, so that you can enjoy the taste. Many stores now have sheep heads hanging on them.
They sell dog meat and say it is soaked in mutton, but the taste is not authentic at all." Dang Shaobo said with a smile.
Lin Yuan agrees with this. Once a local specialty becomes popular, people will naturally imitate it, but authentic things are not so easy to imitate. The real old Changan people are very particular about eating steamed buns.
Eat this kind of authentic food, especially not in places close to stations or airports. These places make money from tourists and are basically a one-time deal. The service attitude is not good, and the taste is not good. It's like not eating at all.
There are few people selling cigarettes and they don't choose to sell cigarettes near stations or airports. It's easiest to buy fake products, and the prices are ridiculously high.
After dinner, Lin Yuan and party chief Bo Gan Yunfeng took a walk to eat. After a while, they arrived at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square. Although the weather was cold at this time, there were many people in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square.
Gan Yunfeng looked at the time and said, "The fountain show is about to begin."
"Fountain show?" Lin Yuan looked at Gan Yunfeng.
"There are many fountains in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, and there are performances every day, including one at eight o'clock in the evening. However, only outsiders watch, and there are basically not many locals." Gan Yunfeng said with a smile.
"Let's go, just take a look." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Accompanied by Dang Shaobo and Gan Yunfeng, the three of them entered the square. There were indeed many people in the square. As soon as the three of them walked in, music sounded in the square and fountains spewed out. The scene was very spectacular. Lin Yuan had never seen it before.
There are few fountains, but this is the first time I have seen so many fountains like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square.
After seeing the fountain, the three of them did not take a car. The walkers walked back. When walking through the square, Lin Yuan saw a large group of people gathered not far away. A group of people were relatively young, shouting slogans and watching.
It was very exciting to go up there.
"Those should be pyramid schemes." Gan Yunfeng explained softly.
Hearing what Gan Yunfeng said, Lin Yuan frowned subconsciously. He had heard people say about MLM before. It first started in the United States and then spread to China. It was a method of recruiting people to sell products and pay franchise fees.
The cheating model is basically friends cheating friends, relatives cheating relatives, the more downlines you develop, the higher the level, the more dividends you get.
This model is a white wolf model that takes advantage of the public's desire to get rich suddenly. However, in the end, a few people often defraud the majority of people's money and then disappear, leaving most of the defrauded people with nothing.
Life is becoming more and more pitiful. This type of MLM model has only begun to sprout in China in recent years. It is more common in some southern provinces. Unexpectedly, it also exists in Qin Province.
"Dr. Lin!"
Gan Yunfeng saw Lin Yuan suddenly walking towards a group of pyramid schemes, and hurriedly stopped him and said: "Dr. Lin, what are you doing? These people are very fanatical, and the crackdown on this kind of illegal pyramid schemes in China is not very strong at the moment.
, even if the police catch them, they will only release them after education, and they will start again in another place."
