Chapter 232 Dragon Boat, Dragon Boat... Here Comes... (Subscribe)
Because of the parallel world.

In addition, because many histories have not been recorded so clearly.

So there are some cultural differences between this world and the previous life.

Apart from the historical differences.

Some festivals, there are some differences.

For example, on the fifth day of the fifth month in the previous life, people on earth celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival.

But this world.

On the fifth day of May, there are not too many programs in the whole country.

Only in Gusu, that is, on the Suzhou side, the "Wuzi Festival" will be celebrated there.

In fact.

The Wuzi Festival in Suzhou in the previous life was their Suzhou version of the Dragon Boat Festival.

As for why Gusu commemorates Wu Zixu instead of Qu Yuan?
This is actually a cultural difference.

but.

Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival.

In fact, he had multiple versions about the Dragon Boat Festival in his previous life.

The commemorative version of Qu Yuan is the most familiar version.

In addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, there is a Suzhou version commemorating Wu Zixu.

Why should we commemorate Wu Zixu?

This is inseparable from historical reasons.

Wu Zixu fled from Chu State to Wu State, and finally helped Wu State become the overlord of the world.

At the same time, Gusu City, which is now the ancient city of Suzhou, was built by Wu Zixu.

This is why the people of Gusu chose to commemorate Wu Zixu on the fifth day of May.

That being the case.

In this world, the Dragon Boat Festival has not been particularly influential, and it has not even appeared much.

Then.

It is not impossible for Chen Fan to create the Dragon Boat Festival of his previous life in this world.

When Chen Fan proposed the idea of ​​"Dragon Boat Festival" to Director Li, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.

"Director Li, it's like this. Dragon Boat Festival means Dragon Boat Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival here means noon. Because during the time period of the fifth day of May, he is the south of the sky where Canglong Qisu rises in our sky, and is in the center of Zhongzheng. Location. This day is very good, so the ancients in the Spring and Autumn Period would choose to commemorate it at this time. Therefore, there is also the Dragon Boat Festival.”

In fact.

The earliest Dragon Boat Festival had nothing to do with Qu Yuan or Wu Zixu.

He just because it was a better day.

Just like the 24 solar terms, the Dragon Boat Festival is also a good day.

Later, due to the addition of various cultural factors, the Dragon Boat Festival was associated with Qu Yuan and Wu Zixu.

"Mr. Chen Fan, you mean, we in Xiangyang will hold a Dragon Boat Festival event on the fifth day of May?"

"Yes. It can't be said to be an event, but a festival. This festival must be preserved, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be celebrated every year on the fifth day of May in the future."

Chen Fan nodded: "There is no other place for this festival. If Xiangyang is the first to hold it, it will obviously attract everyone's attention."

"However, the Wuzi Festival in Gusu is also on the fifth day of May."

"They live their lives, we live ours."

"But we certainly don't have as much influence as they do."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Not necessarily."

Chen Fan explained: "Actually, regarding Wu Zixu, for Gusu people, he has done a lot for Gusu. But for Xiangyang and Chu people, there are some disputes about Wu Zixu's evaluation. Although Wu Zixu was indeed a loyal minister of Chu State, he led Wu State to fight against Chu State, and even almost wiped out Chu State... Such a historical figure, although it is also a cultural heritage of Xiangyang, but if it is commemorated , there are some violations."

It doesn't matter whether Wu Zixu is for revenge or for other reasons.

No matter how righteous he is, he can't bring other people to attack his own country.

This is where the violation occurs.

"That too."

Chief Li nodded.

On the contrary, it is better to commemorate Gusu.

Regardless of whether Wu Zixu is from Gusu or not, Wu Zixu has indeed done a lot of good things for Gusu.

Moreover, Gusu City was built by Wu Zixu back then, so it is normal to commemorate him.

"But in this way, wouldn't we be even less comparable to Gusu? Even, Wu Zixu was robbed by him for nothing."

"You can't say that either."

Chen Fan continued: "The most important thing about a festival is its cultural background. The Wuzi Festival in Gusu has a good cultural background. However, the cultural background of the Dragon Boat Festival is not bad. First of all, we should point out that the Dragon Boat Festival A cultural concept, the first step is to seize the opportunity. The second step is to launch more rich cultural festivals in commemoration of the Dragon Boat Festival. The third step is to join hands with other cities to organize This Dragon Boat Festival. In this way, the influence of our Dragon Boat Festival will surpass their Wuzi Festival in Gusu."

"Mr. Chen Fan, you are indeed an expert in history and culture."

Director Li nodded secretly.

No wonder a lot of scenic spots have asked Chen Fan to promote them.

Listening to it now, they are definitely professional.

This is not just to promote attractions for you, it is to create cultural heritage for you.

"I can't talk about it as an expert, but I just have a little understanding of these things."

speak up.

When Chen Fan came to this world, besides many familiar places, there were also many unfamiliar ones.

The launch of the Dragon Boat Festival at this time also made Chen Fan feel a lot closer.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan became a little excited again. Then, Chen Fan said: "The first step is the cultural heritage of the Dragon Boat Festival. I will further publicize and promote it in the next few days. In addition, some activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, I also have a few more creative arrangements here. However, the third..."

Speaking of it.

Director Li thought for a while and said, "I think it's a good idea to hold it together with other cities. We will also promote it. However, I am a little worried that some other cities do not have this idea."

"Director Li, you can just contact me first. I believe that they will be very interested in these plans when I sort them out."

"That's really thankful to Teacher Chen Fan."

Director Li repeated his thanks again and again.

……

"Teacher Chen Fan, are you still in Xiangyang?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, what is this?"

"Well, Gusu is very urgent, saying that they want me to bring them back to chat with you."

"I go……"

After seeing Director Li off, Chen Fan received another call from Li Jusheng.

"Mr. Chen Fan, it's not that you don't know. It's not many days until the fifth day of May. Wuzi Festival has always been celebrated in Gusu. If I can get your help at this time, whether it's cultural or other aspects, It has a great influence on Gusu for them.”

"I know."

Chen Fan nodded: "Mr. Li, you don't need to come to my side. I'm a bit busy recently. Besides, you tell Gusu. Just say, if they want to promote and promote Wu Zixu, it doesn't matter. Xiangyang's side is not I will make trouble for them, and I have no objection."

"Teacher Chen Fan, really?"

"Mr. Li, I can still lie to you. Just now I chatted with the person in charge of Xiangyang, and our side will also hold an event on the fifth day of May."

"Could it be that Xiangyang also wants to hold Wuzi Festival?"

"How is that possible."

Chen Fan shook his head, "It's not the Wuzi Festival, but the Dragon Boat Festival."

"What is Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Hehe, you will know when the time comes. By the way, maybe in the next few years, Hangzhou will also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Mr. Chen Fan, what you said has made me more and more interested. Let me reveal a little bit."

"It's meaningless to reveal it now. When the time comes, let President Li open his eyes."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Li Jusheng hung up the phone happily.

……

The next day.

Chen Fan started broadcasting again.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, Gusu seems to be trying to snatch Wu Zixu away."

"Then let them grab it."

"No way, Brother Fan, are you so generous?"

"It's not that I'm generous, it's mainly because Wu Zixu did help Wu during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and it's normal for people to commemorate him."

This said.

In an instant, some friends from Gusu said one after another: "Long live, thank you Mr. Chen Fan for supporting us in Gusu."

"Mr. Chen Fan, you will be an honorary citizen of our Gusu City from now on. When you come to Gusu, in a word, we will be on the back foot."

"Teacher Chen Fan, come to Gusu to participate in the Wuzi Festival on the fifth day of May. There are many activities on this day, and it is very lively."

It's just that people on the Gusu side are happy.

People on Xiangyang's side and Wu Province's side were upset.

"Brother Fan, how can you do this, Wu Zixu is obviously from our Chu country."

"Yeah, how could it be snatched away by Gusu?"

"Brother Fan, did Gusu wrap you a big red envelope?"

"That's right, Brother Fan is an eye for influence. He knew that Xiangyang had no money, so he switched to Gusu."

Chen Fan was the first and the second eldest, and hurriedly said: "You guys, gossip is flying all over the sky, am I the kind of person who sees money like this?"

"You are."

"I'm not, I'm financially free now, okay?"

"But you also said that even if you are financially free, you still like to see a few more zeros on the account."

"Uh……"

Chen Fan burst into tears.

These guys watch their live broadcast every day, and their IQ has improved a lot.

Fortunately, Chen Fan had already made arrangements and said, "Don't worry, I came to Xiangyang first, how could I be sorry for the people of Xiangyang, let alone the people of Chu State."

"Brother Fan, what do you mean by that?"

"I think that people in Gusu care about Wu Zixu very much, so it's okay to let them commemorate it. Think about it, Wu Zixu is from Xiangyang and from Chu. The people of Gusu commemorate us from Chu and commemorate us from Xiangyang." Human beings are also something to be happy about. After all, our Chu country has produced talents, right...I want him to commemorate our Chu people more."

"That's what I said, but being robbed, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."

"It's okay, I have a big move recently?"

"What a big move."

"I decided to hold a festival in Xiangyang on the fifth day of May. This festival is called the Dragon Boat Festival."

"What is Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Dragon Boat Festival is noon, and it also means Zhongzheng. Specifically, I will tell you more about it. Everyone looks up at our sky. There are many stars in the sky. As we said before, the stars in the sky are divided into Sanyuan and 28 constellations. .In the 28 constellations, it is divided into four directions. They are the Canglong representing the east, the Suzaku representing the south, the Xuanwu representing the north, and the white tiger representing the west."

"These four directions, each of which is in charge of seven stars, and the combination of seven stars is the mythical beast. Every year on the fifth day of May, at this time, the Canglong in our sky is in the year-round The most central position. For the ancients, this position was an auspicious day. For us, this day is also very good. Because after the Dragon Boat Festival, the overall weather becomes very good, and the sun shines more than Usually it is more plentiful, which is conducive to the harvest of grain. Therefore, even if we don’t commemorate someone on such a good day, we should celebrate it for the harvest of grain.”

"Fuck me, Brother Fan, you're doing a great job, this is to create a brand new festival."

"Almost."

"Then this holiday is a national one?"

"Currently only Xiangyang is making preparations in this regard. Of course, I also suggest that other cities can come together."

then.

Chen Fan added: "In addition, let me tell you about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. Because the Dragon Boat Festival corresponds to the mythical dragon in the sky, so this Dragon Boat Festival is related to dragons. What is related to dragons is in the book of changes. I have written a lot. For example, in the Book of Changes, Qian Gua, Qian Gua actually represents a gentleman and a dragon. The fifth line of Qian Gua, because it is in the fifth position, is also called the Nine-Five Supreme. Why? It is called the Nine-Five Supreme, because this position is the most orthodox and the best position. Therefore, we often call the emperor the Nine-Five Supreme. The fifth day of the fifth month of the Dragon Boat Festival is a position like the Nine-Five Supreme. Just as good a holiday."

In order to launch the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Fan dug out a series of culture and heritage of the Dragon Boat Festival.

In addition to explaining that this day is a good day through the "constellation".

Chen Fan also took out the Book of Changes.

have to say.

With the addition of the Book of Changes, everyone felt that this Dragon Boat Festival had become taller.

"Damn, Brother Fan, I sound a little confused."

"I'm a little confused, but I feel very powerful."

"Haha, me too."

What is ignorance?

It's okay if everyone doesn't understand, but you just need to feel that he is very powerful.

Just like Chen Fan's stargazing technique.

Although everyone couldn't understand how Chen Fan watched the stars, they definitely knew that this technique was not good enough.

at this time.

The same is true.

"Hahaha, after being told by Brother Fan, I feel that the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, is very interesting."

"Yeah, it's really interesting, let's spend it together then."

"However, Brother Fan, how will you spend this Dragon Boat Festival?"

This said.

The problem is coming.

Under the influence of Chen Fan's live broadcast, the cultural background of the Dragon Boat Festival has been established.

but.

Everyone still doesn't understand, how should the Dragon Boat Festival be celebrated?
after all.

For any festival, he can't just celebrate it for nothing, it must have its meaning.

For example, on the Double Ninth Festival, he should climb a mountain and plant dogwood...

There is also Ching Ming Festival, he should go to visit the grave.

If the Dragon Boat Festival is just a festival and there are no activities, then it is meaningless, and it is impossible to pass it on forever.

In this regard.

Chen Fan said: "Don't worry, everyone, since we want to hold this festival, there must be a series of rich activities. At that time, we will hold the Dragon Boat Festival in Xiangyang. At the same time, we will also use TV stations and various The live broadcast method will show you a series of activities of our Dragon Boat Festival. As long as you come to my live broadcast room, then you will naturally know how the Dragon Boat Festival is over. In addition, I will give you a very surprising mysterious gift at that time .”

"Wow, Brother Fan, this is the first time you've given something since the broadcast started. What a mysterious gift."

"It won't be mysterious if you say it. Well, I still have something to do, and I will broadcast it live with you tomorrow."

After chatting with everyone for a while, Chen Fan left the hotel.

this time.

He is going to a shipyard in Xiangyang to build the "dragon boat", one of the most representative symbols of the Dragon Boat Festival.
