rebirth of change

In the end, in order not to embarrass the domestic young people of the same age, Chen Kangjie answered with himself as a representative, listing the list of Chinese classical books he had read, such as "Book of Songs", "The Analects of Confucius", "Zuo Zhuan", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Changes", "Lao Tzu", "Warring States Policy", "Hanshu" and so on, Chen Kangjie has indeed read all these books, some of which were read before rebirth.

After listening to Chen Kangjie's introduction, Palaiocostas and his colleagues admired Chen Kangjie and said that it is no wonder that China can make civilization flourish for thousands of years. This is the reason.When generations of young people are able to recite the classics, it is impossible for culture to break apart.

Among the four ancient civilizations, China is indeed the only country that still maintains its own cultural characteristics and ancient traditions.The other three ancient civilizations have either disappeared into the dust of history, or have broken up, or have been washed away in the process of being colonized.Only China, whether it is the aggression and semi-colonization imposed by the enemy, or the ups and downs within the nation and the change of regime, have not affected our cultural inheritance and continuation.This cannot but be said to be a place worthy of our pride.

Since the central part of the Peloponnese Peninsula is a mountainous area, although the train runs along the coastline, you can still see many steep valleys along the way, with a clear blue sea on one side and a forest-covered mountain on the other. This kind of scenery The abnormality will cause a huge visual impact on tourists, and people will feel that the trip is worthwhile.

After the train passed Patras and went southwest for 21 to 439 kilometers, it basically entered the seaside plains and hills.Some small villages and market towns began to appear outside the car window.Although the area of ​​the Peloponnese Peninsula is small, only 100 square kilometers, and the population is not too large, less than [-] million, the agriculture here is still very developed, and olives, wheat, rice, corn, Cotton, etc., in mountainous areas are mainly animal husbandry and sericulture.While the olive is well known as the tree of friendship in Greece, in the Peloponnese the grape is probably the most planted area, which is the largest agricultural economy in the area.Chen Kangjie only knew about these things before he came here. Before that, he had never heard of grapes being grown here.

In the past, people knew that Greece was a developed country in the West. Even if it ranked relatively low, the shipping industry and tourism industry were very prosperous.Now looking out of the car window, there is a patch of well-growing, emerald green vineyards and a large area of ​​olives, and I know that the agriculture of this country is also very developed.

It is true that ancient civilizations were basically agricultural civilizations.The Peloponnese Peninsula is also one of the birthplaces of ancient civilizations. It has a long history as brilliant as stars. Of course, agriculture is not too bad, otherwise it would be difficult to breed the Mycenaean culture that prevailed in 00 BC.

Greece is a small country, but it took Chen Kangjie and others nearly seven hours to travel from Athens to Olympia by train, and lunch was settled on the train.After the train passed Pyrgos, it made a ninety-degree turn eastward, and Olympia was within easy reach.

Olympia is located at the southern foot of the Kolonio hills, with the Cladios River to the west and the idyllic and beautiful villages left by the Alfios River to the south.If this city were placed in the country, many county towns would be larger than it, which is just a larger town with a population of only tens of thousands.However, due to the large number of tourists who come to visit, the town still looks very clean and prosperous. On the main road in front of the railway station, there are many hotels and hotels of different styles.In order not to destroy the local historical charm, these hotels and hotels cannot be high-rise buildings. Here, there are basically no residential buildings with more than six floors.

The hotel where Chen Kangjie and the others live only has four floors, with white walls and blue roofs. It is a little different from the surrounding quaint buildings. From the outside, it looks like a new building. After entering the inside, it is only discovered that it has been renovated. That's all.The local government has stricter management on newly built houses. Standing on the street and looking around, one can clearly feel a sense of history. Even though there are cafes with awnings on the side of the road, and there are KFC and McDonald’s in the distance, however No matter how you look at those houses, they are some years old.The price of the room where Chen Kangjie and the others live is more than 20.00% higher than other hotels, and it is specially for high-end tourists.

Due to the large number of people in Chen Kangjie's group and out of safety considerations, the hotel was fully booked by the local embassy a week ago.After sitting on the train for such a long time, many people are still a little tired even though the scenery along the way is beautiful.So I will fix it at the hotel first on this day, and the official event will start on the [-]th.

After finally coming to Olympia, Chen Kangjie, the Olympic champion, is not willing to just spend time on the big bed in the hotel.This may be the first and only time he has come to this ancient city, so no matter what, he has to take a walk on the street and visit it.He didn't want to see the ancient Olympia Stadium by himself, nor did he want to go to the Temple of Zeus or the Temple of Hera. These will be included in tomorrow's official itinerary. He just wanted to take a look around the small town as an ordinary tourist. Just feel the local customs here.Anyway, he was strong enough and didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, he didn't eat enough on the train, and his stomach complained a little.

Of course, at this time, Chen Kangjie had to change his appearance, otherwise, he would be unable to take a single step.The hotel staff knew that he lived here, and there were already some onlookers on the sidewalk opposite the hotel who heard the news. If he went out swaggeringly, it would be a signing event, a photo ceremony, a fan It's just a meeting.Make sure he doesn't feel anything that he wants to feel.The waiter who sent him to the door of the hotel room had already asked for Chen Kangjie's autograph in advance.

This time Chen Kangjie traveled, it was not Xiong Ziqiang who accompanied him, but Palaiocostas and his colleagues. Xiong Ziqiang and the three of them became ordinary tourists and mixed in a place farther away.This is something that can't be helped. If it's just Chen Kangjie and the others going out, it will be difficult not to think about it.

Olympia is really a picturesque, beautiful and peaceful place, full of olive trees, laurel and cypress trees, lush and lush.Although it was almost evening, there was still plenty of sunlight outside. Fortunately, Chen Kangjie put on sunscreen with a high SPF value in Palaiocostas, otherwise he would definitely feel dark when he returned to the hotel.As natives, it is not the first time that Palaiocostas have come here.

Since there are Palaiocostas and the others as guides, Chen Kangjie doesn't worry about not getting what he wants.Being able to accompany Chen Kangjie to go out privately, although it was a little illegal, Palaiocostas was still very happy to meet Chen Kangjie's request. Anyway, the task they accepted was to protect Chen Kangjie, not to obey Mao Xianping's orders.

In Olympia, there is a relatively well-known restaurant chain. Its logo is a yellow villain. As for the name of the restaurant, it is in Greek, and Chen Kangjie does not know how to translate it.Palaiocostas originally wanted to take Chen Kangjie to eat in this restaurant, but the price here is relatively expensive.However, after arriving, Chen Kangjie suggested to change to another one. It was definitely not because of the expensive price here, but because the interior decoration was a bit luxurious, much like a western restaurant. Chen Kangjie didn’t think it was necessary, so he suggested that Palaiocostas take him to some roadside shop.

Anyone who travels a lot knows that many traditional-style delicacies will not be served in a grand hotel.Just like in China, if you want to eat authentic Qishan noodles, hot and sour noodles, roll noodles, stinky tofu, and kebabs, then you must not go to those big restaurants.From Chen Kangjie's point of view, the food is all on the side of the road, but some people think it is unhygienic. In fact, as long as it is an old-fashioned restaurant, the hygiene is usually not too bad.

As a result, Palaiocostas treated Chen Kangjie to a Greek meal in a restaurant opened by people from Kythira Island. In fact, it was a hot soup, a glass of local sweet wine, a lettuce salad, and a hot meat dish. Or, with a small basket of bread.Chen Kangjie thought that in the tourist area, even if it was just a few things, the price would not be too cheap, not to mention the taste was really good.When it was time to pay, he found out that it only cost 00 dramaks per person, which was less than six euros.It’s just such a little food, Chen Kangjie can’t get enough to eat, it’s not bad, there is no shortage of snacks here, and finally Chen Kangjie invited them to eat Turkish food kabab and kebab sandwiched in a small alley.Greece and Turkey are neighboring countries, and it is quite normal for Turks to do catering business in Olympia.

After eating, Chen Kangjie wanted to buy some souvenirs for Deng Min and Fan Xuexi, and he couldn't accompany them for the festival, so he had to express it like this.Otherwise, he wouldn't have time to buy souvenirs tomorrow, and he would basically act in large groups.

The most famous Greek specialty is olive oil, but Chen Kangjie doesn't plan to buy this.Palaiocostas and the others took Chen Kangjie to a small street not far from the museum, where all the replicas of the exquisite collections in the archaeological museum were sold on this street.There are pottery, as well as metal products, folk dolls, leather products, natural sponges, castile soap, etc. As a result, Chen Kangjie bought two imitation metal statues of Zeus and some pottery here.Beside this small street, there are also some jewelry stores. Chen Kangjie also shopped around and picked something at random.

Finally, under the afterglow, Chen Kangjie and the others watched an open-air theater performance of the ancient Olympia Games before returning to the hotel.In fact, Chen Kangjie didn't understand the lines in the play at all, but he did learn about the costume culture of the ancient Greek city-states.
