Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 462
As everyone sat down at the table, they heard sudden sounds from all around them, and then their vision suddenly went dark.This unavoidably made many people tense, and hurriedly covered it with their hands. It took a while to get used to the sudden darkness, only to find that all the windows around them were covered by thick felt cloth, and it was still a bright spring afternoon outside, but inside the building It has become dark.

Of course, it's not completely black. After all, the four corners of the building have already been lit, and the faint light spreads all over the place, bringing a mysterious atmosphere to the hall.Even though everyone had expected it in their hearts, their hearts still beat faster at this moment, and they subconsciously sat up with the acquaintances at the table.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound above everyone's heads, like a mouse crawling across a beam.Someone heard the sound and looked up, but a white awn in the darkness slowly fainted out of his eyes.

With the sound of a chime, the lights at the four corners suddenly went out, which completely darkened everyone's vision.Before many people could react, they heard someone around them suddenly exclaiming. Looking up, they saw a little fire passing by the top of their heads, and then many star dots lit up one after another, as if a stream of starlight converged into a gurgling stream, outlining a circle on the dome. A winding and wonderful picture, colorful and colorful.

The plain strings trembled slightly, and the ethereal sound of the piano rang in the ears, and a melodious and melodious female voice sang faintly, making people unable to help but frown and listen to the source of the singing.

At this time, the twinkling stars had converged in the center of the hall, and clouds and smoke slowly spread among the stars.Everyone listened to the sound of music that seemed to exist and seemed to disappear, but they looked at the place where the clouds and smoke rose without blinking.

The smoke became thicker and thicker, and gradually diffused, covering the star-point light belt, and there seemed to be a few graceful shadows dancing in the sea of ​​clouds.

Everyone raised their heads high and squinted their eyes to see more clearly. Suddenly, a gust of wind surged from the other side, blowing away the smoke in an instant.The sound of music in everyone's ears suddenly became high-pitched and clear, and then their eyes blurred. When they looked again, they saw three beauties in gorgeous dresses stretching their limbs in mid-air, dancing in smart and beautiful postures, as if The mysterious girl from the sky landed on the earth lightly.

"It's so beautiful, it's beyond words!"

A person in the banquet suddenly applauded and praised, and then a series of applause sounded in the hall.They were full of nervousness and anxiety before, and they were accompanied by strong expectations. When these beautiful tricks finally appeared, they danced in midair, full of charm and fairy spirit!

However, their mood hadn't completely relaxed yet, suddenly a black curtain rolled up from the side of the hall, swallowing up this beautiful scene in an instant.The dancing movements of the beauties in mid-air became faster, as if they were struggling in fear to get rid of the engulfment of the night, but in the end it was futile, and they soon melted into the darkness.

"Don't chase me, Immortal Fairy!"

The field of vision became dark again, and the hall was filled with sighs of regret, and some people even couldn't help but growl at their desks.

"The immortal caresses my top, and bears longevity..."

The singing voice became melodious and clear, depicting a picture of visiting immortals far away, but it could not make up for the loss of people's loss of vision and the absence of beautiful scenery.

The sound of the song gradually became cheerful. A fist-sized fire light descended from the darkness on the beam and landed somewhere in the air. Then, using it as the source, eight fire lines suddenly flowed out from the fire light and poured out. Get down, flow across the ground, and instantly there is a line of fire across the crowd!
Fearing that the fire wire would burn them, some people hurriedly rolled and fled backwards from the mat. When they saw that the fire wire just stayed on the ground outside the seat, they returned to their seats and sat down in embarrassment.

But right now, no one laughed at these people's gaffes, because just as the wires of fire were flowing on the ground, the darkness was dispelled again, and everyone saw a mountain built of tables and bamboo frames under the intertwined wires of fire.

And on this mountain peak, there are more than a dozen exquisite figures dancing cheerfully and cunningly, and among them are the three beauties who were swallowed by the darkness before.The original wide and gorgeous colorful skirt disappeared, and was replaced by Jingchai cloth skirt. Although the fairy spirit was weakened, the cloth skirt was tightly wrapped around the graceful and graceful body, outlining extremely attractive concave and convex curves. As it dances, it exudes the temptation of being full of popularity and vitality!

At this time, the lights in the four corners of the hall were turned on again, and the vision became bright again, allowing people to see the whole hall clearly.A thin and nimble boy was holding the ribbon hanging from the beam in his hand, like a butterfly flying in the sea of ​​flowers, rippling in mid-air nimbly.

A half-foot-long swimming fish made of colorful silk is ups and downs in the waves surrounded by clear curtains. A boy is straddling the fish's spine, waving two long colored ribbons in his hands, and sending out sips from his mouth. Crisp and melodious singing voice.The whole picture is very lively and full of fun!

Sitting in the banquet, Shen Zhezi watched the crowd enjoying the singing and dancing mesmerizingly, and there was no shortage of associations in his mind.

Before coming to this era and even at the beginning, he had some pride in his heart as a descendant.Because the entertainment methods of ancient people are too boring, far less exciting than later generations.But as life goes on, in fact, when it comes to entertainment, later generations may not be as good at playing as ancient people.

The entertainment of later generations is based on a rich material foundation, coupled with the impact of a large amount of information brought about by technological progress.In today's era, although the rich material conditions of the later generations are not met, and it is impossible to have entertainment for the whole people, the real entertainment of the rich and powerful is not just about courting prostitutes and listening to music.

And because there is not a lot of information impact, the ancients explored much further in audio-visual enjoyment than later generations.Such as acrobatics, magic, illusion, etc., through proficient skills and simple conditions, the impact of watching a hundred operas on the audiovisual brought by them is not inferior to that of later generations.

The so-called Baixi entertainment is extremely rich in content, and it has reached an extremely prosperous level since the Han Dynasty, and it is not limited to dance music, juggling and martial arts.The so-called fish and dragons proliferate, the craftsmen color-tied birds, beasts, fish and insects in different shapes, and created an illusion-like experience similar to magic through light and shadow, borrowing and other techniques, which is really amazing!
Of course, although these hundred opera entertainments are too beautiful to behold, they are also extremely expensive.Actors have to go through careful selection and long-term hard training before they can master proficient skills.The props used in the performance process are also extremely ingenious for the sake of realism and novelty, representing the most advanced craftsmanship of an era.

Just like the spectacular scene in the Zhaixing Building just now, the production of various props alone cost millions of dollars, and a considerable part of them are consumables that can only be used once.This kind of performance is true, illusory and beautiful, but it is simply a waste of money to play.

Even in the strong man period, this kind of fish and dragon Manyan was an entertainment item that only the royal family could afford.And it is often chosen on a grand festival. The emperor invites all his officials to share the rewards, enjoys with the people, and seldom entertains himself.

The Shen family is now rich in wealth, which can be said to be second to none in Jiangdong, but Shen Zhezi rarely arranges people to perform this kind of entertainment, so he can't afford it!
But in fact, everything has two sides. In some people's eyes, this kind of entertainment is extravagant and extravagant, which fully reflects the decadence and extravagance of the ruling class.But there are also many exquisite skills. It is in this kind of enjoyment that they strive for perfection and reach a height that is difficult for foreigners to reach. They have been passed down to future generations and become national treasures.

But in fact, Shen Zhezi is not very keen on these pastimes. Many of the ingenious props are actually by-products born in the process of studying skills.

Moreover, this kind of entertainment method is just pure audio-visual enjoyment, and does not contain too much information.For example, operas developed successively in various places in later generations broke away from pure audio-visual stimulation, and conveyed a lot of information to the viewers through story-like plots.

In this day and age, Xiaomins actually do not have the opportunity to get in touch with too much information. The living environment is very closed, they work in the morning and evening, and sleep at night. They not only have to bear the pressure of survival, but also bear all kinds of exploitation.If there were no wars, turmoil or natural disasters sweeping across the entire society, they would have to live in this narrow environment life after life, with neither a way to receive information nor a need to receive information.

In fact, Shen Zhezi has always planned to create some operas, just like the folk songs he often used in his early years to create momentum.Through some fascinating stories, convey to people some views of right and wrong and values.This cultural innovation is also an attempt to change folk customs and ideology.

Although it has not been put into action in the capital right now, in his hometown Longxi Township, there are already some operas being staged in the Hundred Opera Garden originally built by his father.Although they are all ghost stories that are popular nowadays, they can be used as a basis, step by step, and after such an entertainment method is cultivated, more information can be added.

In fact, Shen Zhezi is a relatively pessimistic person in essence. Although he has been asking his family to study and promote printing, he does not think that printing alone can achieve any effect of enlightening people's wisdom.

The so-called progress through study is not a point of view that can be generally agreed upon nowadays. Even if a large number of scriptures are printed and distributed, the public's acceptance is not optimistic.

We must know that in the early days of reform in later generations, because too many reckless and trendy people rose up and achieved success in life, the whole society was filled with the theory that reading is useless for a long time.Many people are completely uninterested in knowledge and the rewards that education can bring.

And Shen Zhezi's personal experience right now is that it is true that nowadays the rich families form a monopoly in academics, and the children from poor families have nowhere to study, which seems to be a very sad situation.But to be honest, many children from poor families are not interested in this at all, because even if this society is full of knowledge and wealth, the times still have not opened a path to success for them.

The emergence of any historical system requires a long period of deliberation. Too much ahead of the times does not mean that it can go all the way forward. It is more likely to be completely out of play and suffer more violent counterattacks, which in turn will make the whole society more occluded.

　I am not questioning the promotion of printing technology to the entire social process, but it needs to be measured in a longer time dimension in order to exert a huge effect.In fact, until now, many people are still confronted with the question of the uselessness of studying. After more than ten years of study, the monthly salary is several thousand, but when they return to their hometown, they see Er Gouzi who dropped out of junior high school and is now an entrepreneur.In fact, no matter what you do, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded, but the way of reward may not be satisfactory
