National Tide 1980.

Chapter 781 A Top 25
To be honest, Ditan Park is indeed a bit back.

Because in the original history without Ning Weimin making trouble.

In 1985, Ditan Park took the lead in restoring the traditional Spring Festival temple fairs, and presented authentic Beijing-style folk customs and strong folk characteristics in the temple fairs, thus making a name for itself and officially establishing the orthodox status of its temple fairs in the capital.

It has been thirty years since then.

After entering the new century, each Ditan Temple Fair will attract more than one million tourists.

Visiting the Temple of Earth during the Spring Festival has become a custom followed by ordinary people in the capital.

Even the reputation of the Ditan Temple Fair has spread overseas, and its scenic spot is known as the modern "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" and the Carnival of China.

However, just because Ning Weimin appeared out of nowhere, everything changed.

Not to mention that the qualification to be the first was snatched away by this kid, and because of his monstrous existence, it seemed a bit dull and stupid to let the altar of the earth rely solely on restoring traditional folk customs and copying the number of temple fairs in the past.

It is no longer possible to use this to form the advantage of "unifying the world and condescending".

It can be said that all the benefits and aura that Ditan Park should have enjoyed have almost disappeared from this kid.

Do not believe?If you don't believe me, let's take a look...

In fact, when I first arrived at Dijie, when I saw the north gate of the Temple of Heaven, these people in Ditan Park felt pretty good about themselves.

You know, when the jeep drives to the side of the road, you can clearly feel that the north gate of the Temple of Heaven is not as lively as any of the gates of the Temple of Earth.

Although the flow of tourists is quite a lot, it seems to be equivalent to two-thirds of the altar, or more than half.

Although the new stone gate of the Temple of Heaven is almost two or three times as wide as the gate of the Temple of Earth, it looks majestic.

But it is precisely because of this that the lack of crowds seems to be more and more insufficient, and it cannot be compared with the scene of tourists rubbing shoulders at the gate of the Temple of Earth.

So the secretary and the deputy principal hadn't gotten out of the car yet, and they began to comment with a smile on their faces with a relaxed mood.

"Hey, didn't the temple fair in Tiantan Park set a record of 15 visitors in a single day? It's really not good this year. The number of people obviously can't reach this number. It's the first day of the new year. I think it's the sky. Only 8 or [-] people are really not as good as us."

"Ha, Secretary, you are talking about the Lantern Festival the year before last, old calendar. At that time, only the Temple of Heaven held a temple fair, and the masses had no choice. Now that there are too many temple fairs, they will not be popular. Like last year, there were us and Longtan Lake Park is mixed together, and the number of visitors to Temple of Heaven Park has dropped. It seems that the highest in a single day is 12. This year we invested more, and there are as many as five temple venues in the whole capital. Naturally, they are not stable. Stand still."

Even the driver who drove the two of them followed suit.

"What the leader said is, I think this year's Temple of Heaven is a bit of a fool. Just their gate is so simple. They put up two big red signs together. It says 'Celebrate the New Year'. In addition, a big red banner hangs on the front, This is the end? This is the Spring Festival, colorful flags, balloons, red silk, nothing at all. It's really boring, there is no such way to save money? How can it compare with our altar?"

So the two leaders laughed heartily again, somewhat gloating over the "dismal management" of the Temple of Heaven Park.

But the problem is, after less than 2 minutes, they should stop the car, but they suddenly found that it didn't seem to be the case.

Because they couldn't find a parking space.

The huge square in front of the North Gate of the Temple of Heaven is almost completely occupied by station wagons, large and medium-sized.

The middle of the square is surrounded by an iron fence, which is a special place for parking bicycles.

In addition, there must be a wide space for people to pass through.

The space that can be reserved for cars and jeeps is very limited.

After finally taking a station wagon, the driver was stopped by someone just as he was about to drive the car over.

The person in charge of watching the parking lot came over, waved his hand, and said, "No parking, no parking! Comrade, this is a space reserved for large vehicles. You have to wait until there is a space to park."

The driver had never been discriminated against before, so he said, "This is our leader's car."

The person watching the parking lot said, "I'm sorry, it's an emergency, you have to understand. To tell you the truth, just now the tourist bureau's car was still waiting for 10 minutes by the side of the road. That's our immediate boss. If you are in a hurry, go to the east gate to see Look, but I guess the situation is not much different. Don’t go to the west gate and the south gate, they are forbidden to park cars, and the space is reserved for bicycles.”

The driver immediately became dumb, turned around to look at the secretary and the deputy principal, his tone softened, and he began to inquire instead.

"Comrade, you can't do that, right? Isn't it just a temple fair at such an extraordinary moment? How did it happen? Where did so many big cars come from?"

"Hey, you don't know. The situation in our Temple of Heaven is quite special. There are always a lot of foreign tourists. We love to watch western scenes, so do foreigners? So years ago, our Temple of Heaven sent invitation letters to various embassies. The hotel put out brochures. These foreigners are invited to participate in our Spring Festival garden party. Therefore, the cars here are all foreigners who come here by charter. Let's carry forward the style and put others first before ourselves. Please wait for a few minutes, please be considerate. "

At the stall where I was talking, another medium-sized Hongqi station wagon filled the parking space that was vacated just now.

Then eight or nine people came down, all speaking Japanese in jabbering, and a tour guide holding a small red flag led them into the park.

This time, the two leaders in the car couldn't help being unmoved.

They really didn't expect that Temple of Heaven Park would come up with such a move.

And it can successfully attract so many foreign tourists.

So, without the need for the driver to speak, the deputy director rushed to continue asking, "Then what projects do you guys have to attract foreign tourists?"

As a result, at this time, two cars happened to drive away.

Now that there is a parking space, it is inconvenient for the person in charge of watching the car to go into details.

"We have divided into two districts this year. After entering the north gate and east gate, they are all for foreigners and leaders to see along the way. They are relatively clean. When entering the west gate and south gate, it is for the lively and festive occasions for us common people. Specifically I can’t go into details, anyway, you’ll know when you go in and stroll around. Come on, let’s stop first and walk around…”

In this way, the jeep had to stop in accordance with the guidelines.

When I got out of the car and came to the entrance of the North Gate of the Temple of Heaven, and entered the park after buying a ticket, the three people in the Temple of Heaven were really jealous.

Because the tickets for the Temple of Heaven had just been approved for a price increase a few years ago, they actually sold for [-] cents each.

The altar of the earth is still in its original state, and it only costs two cents.

what does this mean?
It means that selling one ticket for the Temple of Heaven is equivalent to selling two and a half tickets for the Temple of Earth.

Even if the number of people on the Temple of Earth exceeds 10 in a single day, it can be tied with the 4 people on the Temple of Heaven.

And that's not counting, at the gate, Temple of Heaven Park has arranged special fast lanes for foreign tourists, and several people pay to buy tickets to let them go.

That's five foreign exchange certificates per person.

Looking at the foreign exchange certificates, which are far more colorful than the RMB, they "swipe" them into the cash box.

Foreigners don't care, and they are all happy to enter.

How can the two leaders of the altar not be jealous?

Well, this is the scene in front of you.

The Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth, isn't there really a world of difference!
In the past, there were few foreigners, but now there are more foreigners in the capital, and the income gap is too big

Look at how hard this foreign exchange certificate makes!

One person has already topped 25, which is not counting the premium of foreign exchange certificates.

But it's useless to be jealous. The Temple of Earth is not as famous as the Temple of Heaven, and the area of ​​the Temple of Earth is only one-third that of others.

This is a congenital deficiency, an insurmountable hardware gap.

So at this time, these people in Ditan Park were a little bit dissatisfied, and even more resentful.

Several people were muttering and walking towards the park full of complaints.

"What is this? My own people can't be confused, so they use the brains of foreigners. I understand that the Temple of Heaven is bullying other laymen, and pulling foreigners to temple fairs, do they understand? This is not taking advantage of them. Forget it What's the matter."

"Yes, Secretary, now I understand. The Temple of Heaven has been so rich and powerful in recent years, and the co-authors have all profited from foreigners. If there are no foreigners, they don't have this inherent advantage. They are nothing."

"Hey, two leaders, don't watch them have a good time. If you can't make it right, you have to make a list. Foreigners are not fools. When you really enter it, you find nothing, and you can't comment when you turn around. Foreigners It may not be easy to fool..."

Hey, don't say it, the secretary and the deputy principal were really inspired by the driver's casual remark.

The deputy director immediately regained his spirit.

"Secretary, this kind of situation... might really happen. Just in case it's too late, shouldn't we remind our superiors?"

The secretary understood, and replied, "Well, diplomacy is no small matter. It should, it should."

A few people continued to follow the flow of people.

When there was not much clinker, just halfway through the backyard wall of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the flow of people stopped.

In the middle of Ganqing Road, there is a one meter high and three meter long brick platform.

Above is a majestic, life-size golden bull pushing forward.

The overall shape is not only mighty, but also majestic and powerful, fully showing the strength and courage of the bull.

And on both sides of the bull's body, the words "1985" are engraved in large.

The two horns and the back spine are connected with red silk, and there are also colored balls made of red silk hanging.

When the wind blows, the bright red silk and the colored balls are all fluttering.

Look how festive and festive it is, how auspicious and auspicious it is.

This is a festive sculpture entrusted by Ning Weimin to four teachers and students from the Sculpture Department of the National Academy of Fine Arts, who spent a week creating it collectively.

Although the professor who took the job only charged Ning Weimin a friendly price of 600 yuan.

After excluding the cost of materials, they might not earn half of it.

However, there is no choice in the level of styling. The effect and quality of the finished product are no worse than the copper bulls on Wall Street.

At most, it is just short of the size of this Taurus being a little smaller.

Naturally, tourists have been taking pictures and taking pictures with Taurus.

Foreigners are better, although it looks good, just take a photo.

However, the Chinese people are all unrelenting.

Taking pictures and group photos is not enough, but you have to touch it well.

Perhaps this is because of the cultural differences.

Our people always feel that being able to touch such an imposing Taurus will bring them good luck, and they all enthusiastically make moves.

The scene of crowds of people in front of the platform may not be as good as those people in the Baiyun Temple today who are scrambling to touch the stone monkey.

As a result, many adults and children rubbed their hands with gold powder.

The golden bull was originally intended to be exhibited for a year, but unexpectedly, on the first day it was displayed, the color began to fade under the legs and feet where people could reach it.

Needless to say, once you see this Taurus.

The entire group of people from the Earth Altar was shocked!
When I entered the door just now, the little good mood I tried to recover, began to plummet again.

For no other reason, to make such a cow, in their opinion, it is impossible to get it without 1 yuan.

This is far beyond conventional decorations, how big is that?
No matter how many colorful flags, red silk, and balloons, there is no such thing as cheering up, right?

After a while, the deputy director was the first to wake up, and subconsciously, he began to find fault with the egg—spray!
"Cut, they will make such flashy things. I think their Temple of Heaven has too many sculptures and no place to put them. Even the Zhai Palace can't accommodate them, so they put them at the gate. These people are also ignorant. Isn't it just a bull?" Well, as for such a succession of people."

"Oh? You mean... they are at the end of their rope..."

Looking at such a majestic sculpture, the secretary instinctively felt that it was different from ordinary park landscaping, but he couldn't tell the difference.

So I couldn't fully recover from the visual shock, and I still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But the deputy principal couldn't hold back, but his mouth was as stubborn as a dead duck.

"Secretary, it's obvious. Isn't this a sliver of their sculpture exhibition. They are relying on the convenience of the event a year ago, and they are still living on their laurels."

The driver also picked up nice words.

"That's right, there must be nothing new behind them. I think that's all there is to it. This is a Spring Festival temple fair, and we can't just rely on sculptures to fool the masses. They won't, they will swing their heads every few tens of meters. ?”

So in this way, the secretary somewhat regained some confidence, gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

"Come on, let's continue going in. I want to take a good look today. What kind of medicine can they sell in their gourd..."
