National Tide 1980

, Guochao 1980

To be honest, Ditan Park is indeed a bit lacking.

Because in the original history where Ning Weimin did not cause trouble.

In 1985, Ditan Park took the lead in restoring the traditional Spring Festival temple fair and presented authentic Beijing folk customs and rich folk characteristics in the temple fair, thereby creating a brand and officially establishing its orthodox status as a temple fair in the capital.

From this, it has been popular for more than thirty years.

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 people in the capital.

Even the reputation of the Temple of Earth Temple Fair has spread overseas, and its scenic spots are known as the modern "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and the Chinese Carnival.

However, just because Ning Weimin suddenly appeared, everything changed.

Not to mention that the first-of-its-kind qualification was snatched away by this kid, and because of his monster-like existence, it seems a bit dull and silly for Ditan to just restore traditional folk customs and copy the methods of temple fairs in the past.

This can no longer be used to form the advantage of "unifying the world and being condescending".

It can be said that all the benefits and aura that Ditan Park should have enjoyed have been wiped out by this guy.

Do not believe? If you don’t believe it, let’s see it live...

In fact, when we first arrived at Dijie and saw the north gate of the Temple of Heaven, the 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 Di.

Although there is a lot of tourist traffic, it seems to be equivalent to two-thirds of the Temple of Earth, 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 crowds are increasingly insufficient, which cannot be compared with the crowds of tourists at the entrance of the Temple of Ditan.

So the secretary and the deputy director started commenting with a relaxed mood and smiling faces before they even got out of the car.

"Hey, didn't the temple fair in Temple of Heaven Park set a record of 150,000 visitors in a single day? It's really not going to work this year. The number of people obviously can't reach that number. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I think one day is as high as the sky. There are only 70,000 to 80,000 people, they are really not as good as us."

"Ha, Secretary, you are talking about the Lantern Festival of the year before last, according to the old calendar. At that time, only the Temple of Heaven held temple fairs, and the masses had no choice. Now that there are more, they are no longer popular. Like last year, there were us and Longtan Along with Lake Park, the number of visitors to Temple of Heaven Park has dropped. It seems that the highest number in a single day is 120,000. This year we have invested more, and there are as many as five temple venues across the capital. They will naturally be stable We can’t stand our ground anymore.”

Even the driver driving the two of them joined in the fun.

"What the leader said is that I think the Temple of Heaven is a bit deceptive this year. Their gate is so simple. There are two big red signs erected together. It says 'Celebrate the New Year'. In addition, a big red banner hangs in front. Is this the end? This is the Spring Festival, with colorful flags, balloons, and red silk, nothing at all. It’s really boring, and there’s no such way to save money? How can it compare with our Earth Temple?"

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

But the problem was, less than two minutes later, when it was time for them to park, they suddenly realized that that didn't seem to be the case anymore.

Because they couldn't find a parking space.

The huge square in front of the north gate of the Temple of Heaven is almost entirely occupied by station wagons, both large and medium-sized.

The middle of the square is surrounded by an iron fence, where bicycles are parked.

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

The space available for cars and jeeps is very limited.

Finally, we got into a station wagon. As soon as the driver was about to drive over, he was stopped by someone.

The person in charge of watching the parking lot came over, waved and said, "You can't stop, you can't stop! Comrade, this is a place designated for big cars. You have to wait until there is space before you can park."

The driver, who had never experienced such discrimination before, said with a pinched neck, "This is our leader's car."

The man at the parking lot said, "Sorry, you have to understand in emergency situations. To be honest, the Tourism Bureau's car was waiting on the side of the road for ten minutes just now. That's our immediate boss. If you're in a hurry, go to the east gate to take a look. Look, but I guess the situation is not much different. You must not go to the West Gate and South Gate. Cars are not allowed to park in those two places, and the space is reserved for bicycles."

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

"Comrade, aren't you? What an emergency, isn't it just a temple fair? How could it be like this? Where did all these big cars come from?"

"Hey, you don't know something. Our situation in the Temple of Heaven is quite special. There are always a lot of foreign tourists. We like to watch Western scenes, and so do foreigners? So a few years ago, our Temple of Heaven sent invitation letters to various embassies, and in some foreign-related The hotel has put out a brochure, inviting these foreigners to come to our New Year garden party. So the cars here are all foreigners who have chartered cars. Let's carry forward our style and put others before ourselves. Please wait a few minutes and be considerate. "

Just as we were talking, another medium-sized Hongqi station wagon filled the parking space that had just been vacated.

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

At this moment, the two leaders in the car couldn't help but become moved.

They really didn't expect that the Temple of Heaven Park could come up with such a trick.

And it can successfully attract so many foreign tourists.

So, without the driver having to say anything, the deputy director rushed to continue asking, "So what projects do you have to attract foreign tourists?"

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

Now that there is a parking space, the person responsible for looking after the car is not in a position to elaborate further.

"We are divided into two areas this year. After entering through the north gate and east gate, the roads along the way are for foreigners and leaders to see, which is relatively clean. Entering through the west gate and south gate are for the liveliness and celebration of us ordinary people. Specifically I can’t go into details. Anyway, you’ll know when you go in and take a stroll. Come on, let’s park the car first and walk around..."

As such, the jeep had no choice but to follow the instructions and stop.

When they got off the bus and came to the north entrance of the Temple of Heaven, bought tickets and entered the park, the three people from the Temple of Ditan were really jealous.

Because the price of tickets for the Temple of Heaven had just been approved a year ago, they actually sold for 50 cents each.

The Temple of Earth is still in its original state, and it only costs two cents.

what does that mean?

This 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 visitors to the Temple of Earth exceeds 100,000 in a single day, it will be tied with the 40,000 visitors to the Temple of Heaven.

And that's not all. At the gate, the Temple of Heaven Park has arranged a special express lane for foreign tourists. They pay a few people in advance to buy tickets and let them go.

That’s five yuan of foreign exchange coupons per person.

I looked at the foreign exchange coupons, which were far more colorful than the RMB, and put them into the cash box.

The foreigners didn't care and all came in happily.

How could the two leaders of the Earth Temple not be jealous?

Okay, this is the scene in front of you.

The Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth are really different from each other!

In the past, there were not many foreigners, but now there are more foreigners in the capital, and the income gap is huge.

Look at how hard they earn from these foreign exchange coupons!

That’s twenty-five per person, not counting the premium on foreign exchange certificates.

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

This is a congenital shortcoming, a hardware gap that is difficult to cross.

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

Several people walked toward the park muttering and complaining.

"What's this? I can't help but mess with foreigners' brains. I finally understand. The Temple of Heaven bullies laymen and invites foreigners to visit temple fairs. Do they understand? This is not looking for someone to take advantage of. Forget it. What's the matter?"

"Yes, Secretary, now I understand. The Temple of Heaven has been so wealthy in recent years, and its co-authors have taken advantage of foreigners. If foreigners didn't come, they wouldn't have this innate advantage. They would be nothing."

"Hey, two leaders, don't watch them having fun. If you don't get it right, you have to make a list. Foreigners are not fools. When Shinichi went inside, he found nothing. When he turned around, he was not allowed to give his opinions. Foreigners It may not be easy to fool..."

Hey, don't tell me, the secretary and the deputy principal were really inspired by the driver's casual remarks.

The deputy director immediately became energetic.

"Secretary, this kind of situation... really might happen. Shouldn't we give our superiors a warning just to be on guard?"

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

Several people continued to follow the flow of people inside.

Not long after Clinker arrived outside the backyard wall of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the flow of people suddenly stopped.

In front of the courtyard wall, there is a large brick platform one meter high and three meters long.

Above is a majestic golden bull that is striving forward and laughing with true proportions.

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

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

The back spines of the two horns are connected with red silk, and there are also colorful balls made of red silk hanging on them.

When the wind blows, the red silk and colorful balls flutter.

It looks so festive and festive, and so auspicious and auspicious.

This is a sculpture that Ning Weimin commissioned four teachers and students from the Sculpture Department of the National Academy of Fine Arts to collectively create for a week.

Although the professor who took the job only received Ning Weimin as a friendly price of 3,600 yuan.

Excluding the cost of materials, you may not even make half of it.

But the level of styling is impeccable, and the effect and quality of the finished product are no worse than those of Wall Street's Copper Bull.

At most, it's just a little smaller than this golden bull.

Naturally, tourists took photos and took photos with the golden bull.

Foreigners are better off, although they look pretty good and can only take a photo.

However, the Chinese people are very stubborn.

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

Maybe this is because of cultural differences.

Our people always feel that if they can touch such a majestic Taurus, it will bring them good luck, so they are eager to take action.

The crowded scene in front of the stage may not be as good as those people rushing to touch the stone monkey in Baiyun Temple today.

As a result, many adults and children got their hands on gold dust.

The golden bull was originally planned to be displayed for a year. Unexpectedly, on the first day it was put out, it began to fade under the legs and feet, within reach of people.

Needless to say, as soon as I saw this golden bull.

The group of people who came from the Temple of Earth were all shocked!

When I entered the house just now, the good mood I had tried my best to recover began to plummet again.

For no other reason than to make a cow like this, in their opinion, it would be impossible to afford even 10,000 yuan.

This is far more than a conventional decoration. How big of a gesture is that?

No matter how many colorful flags, red silk, or balloons, nothing like this can lift your spirits, right?

After a while, the deputy principal woke up first, and subconsciously started to find fault with him!

"Oh, you know how to make such flashy things. I think they have so many sculptures in the Temple of Heaven that they have nowhere to put them. Even the Zhai Palace can't accommodate them, so they put them at the gate. These people are also ignorant. Aren't they just a bully? Well, as for being so busy."

"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 how it was different.

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

But he couldn't stand the deputy principal, but he was as tough as a duck.

"Secretary, it's obvious. This just benefits from the sculpture exhibition they held. They are taking advantage of the convenience of the event last year, and they are resting on their laurels."

The driver also picked up the nice things to say.

"Yes, they must have nothing new in the future. I think that's all they can do. This is a Spring Festival temple fair, and we can't rely on sculptures to fool the masses. They can't just put a cow on it for a few dozen meters. ?”

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

"Come on, let's go in. I want to take a closer look today to see what other medicines they can sell in their gourds..."
