“Illusion 2099” Creates Dali Tide Fun Resort with “Party”

At the opening ceremony, Yang Le, the chief director of “Illusion 2099”, together with “Transformation Theater” architect Zhang Jiyuan, artist Qiu Yu, and executive director Gao Jieyu shared many behind-the-scenes stories with the guests. “This creation is different from any previous creations. Today is not the end of the show of “Illusion 2099″, but a starting point for the creation of Illusion.” Chief director Yang Le, as a senior producer, creates professional content. Ability, innovative business thinking, and unique operating concepts have deeply explored the cultural and tourism market, and successfully created and operated a new generation of cultural and tourism product drama secrets “Today and Today”, “Golden Face Dynasty”, and CCTV “National Treasure” to create immersion A number of large-scale projects such as the “National Treasure” Digital Fantasy Experience Hall. At this time, facing this domestic first party-style drama, I was also full of expectations. He was even more emotional. Through “Illusion 2099”, he deeply felt that “young people are taking over our world.” Because both the three outstanding young artists on stage and the more core directors of the director group are “post-90s”. Therefore, “Illusion 2099” is destined to be a drama facing the future.

“Illusory 2099” was completed in four years, and the four-year fantasy scene became a reality, and the creators were all very excited. When sharing creative ideas, the architect Zhang Jiyuan was deeply moved. For her, the “Variational Theater” is like her child, watching it gradually transform from a dilapidated ruin into a tide that is endowed by technology and art. A place of play, with many thoughts, “This is my first attempt at cross-border creation of architecture and technology, as well as drama. In the process of creation, architecture, drama, and technology have been constantly demonstrating each other. I hope that through this project, I can understand one another. The desire and imagination of the city, to understand the subconsciousness of the city under the ordinary life texture of Dali. The city is the theater, and the theater is the city.” Artist Qiu Yu learned from the famous artist Fei Jun, a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Under the guidance of the teacher, they collectively contributed to ” “Illusory 2099” has designed dozens of visual stage scenes full of sci-fi colors. He said, “Illusory 2099 is not only a drama, but also an experience field of art and technology, but also an artist’s thinking on technology and life.” Executive director Gao Jieyu revealed that the inspiration for “Illusion 2099” came from a discussion on “New Humanities in Dali” in “New Weekly”, “What do young people want to play when they come to Dali? Finally, we think Dali needs a grand event. Party.” She found the answer and constructed a party-style drama “Illusion 2099” based on this. Finally, the actors and actresses of “Illusion 2099” also appeared on the stage-the controller of the intelligent world, the handsome and dull boy, the drunken bartender, the conspiring businessman, the glamorous party queen, came from the party with ethereal music, thus Lifted the mystery of “Illusion 2099”. A collection of art and technology pioneers Deep dialogue between the future and the present The performance space “Transformation Theater” of “Illusion 2099” was transformed from an old transformer factory in the ancient city of Dali. Its biggest feature is the integration of the new and the old world, which connects the past, present and future of the entire space. Visually, the square closed frame structure of the old factory building is cut by light, showing the cross-section of the building, while the fragmented industrial space runs through indoors and outdoors, forming four impactful themed spaces on a 3,500 square meter site. : The mood bar, the garden of desire, the secret proving ground and the heart sound field. The art installation led by ten young artists led by Fei Jun, the artistic director of “Illusion 2099”, a well-known artist, and a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, has become another highlight of the show. Theater art installations are matched with the plot, combined with technologies such as artificial intelligence, emotional computing, program-controlled robotic arms, data visualization, etc. The theater “creates” many works of art that can provide insight into the future, such as talk boxes, emotional hospitals, research and development spaces, and naive canteens. Through the spatial re-creation of “avant-garde art”, “Illusion 2099” also rejuvenated the old buildings in the old city, and wrote a new annotation for the ancient tourist city of Dali, making it a tourism development. There are more colorful possibilities on the extension. “Illusion 2099” tells the story of the mysterious man Turing, as an outstanding scientist in the field of intelligence, upgrades the intelligent man he developed through a grand party held every night. It is not only visual art and technological innovation, but also the implied meaning of the times. It presents a core that combines the present and the future, providing more introspection and thinking to the “inbound” audience. “Under the relaxed and pleasant rhythm, “Illusion 2099” presents a contemporary landscape of struggle, trap, and loss driven by desire in the grip of technology. It poses questions to the audience and tries to lead the audience to the truth of the problem layer by layer. He reached reconciliation with himself and life in freedom and happiness.” When talking about the core of the drama of “Illusion 2099”, the chief director Yang Le explained his original intention of creating this drama. The avant-garde party-style performances and the visual presentation of the sci-fi futuristic texture make “Illusion 2099” in the name of science and technology, to bring visitors an extraordinary and cutting-edge cultural experience. And urbanites who lose themselves in the hustle and bustle of modern life have a strong spiritual desire to find the interpretation of the relationship between “people and nature, people and life, and people” in Dali, the world-famous “refuge from the world”. “Illusory 2099″‘s idiosyncratic thinking about the future and the present allows the audience to “return to their original heart” and realize “the pressure of life”, which allows them to complete a spiritual sublimation. In the future, “Illusion 2099” will dig deeper and embody Dali’s profound cultural connotation and diverse spiritual space, attracting more interesting young people to come here to participate and express their thoughts on the progress of the times, thereby creating a trendy playground for youth gathering , Making it a new species of cultural travel industry and Dali’s new business card facing the world.

Traveling to Anhui, there must be a mountain to let our dreams linger. Even if we have not traveled to Anhui, we must have heard of the famous mountains and great mountains in Anhui. What’s more, there are “the most wonderful mountain in the world” which is famous at home and abroad for its five unique “strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds, hot springs, and winter snow”. “Where is Huangshan. As a symbol of tourism in Anhui Province, it is also the most resounding business card for tourism in Anhui Province. Huangshan has never disappointed tourists at home and abroad, and the number of tourists visiting each year is counted in the millions. Of course, as a movable type signboard for tourism in Anhui Province, Huangshan Mountain has been a tourist attraction since ancient times, and it is the only famous mountain Dayue Scenic Area among China’s top ten scenic spots. For tourists who are a little familiar with Anhui, they will not miss another famous mountain in Anhui, which is Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou City, Anhui Province. Together with Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang Province, and Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Jiuhua is known as the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is known as the “first mountain in the southeast” and is one of the country’s first natural and cultural heritage sites. We are already thunderous with respect to Huangshan, the “No. 1 Wonderful Mountain in the World” and Jiuhua Mountain, known as the “No. 1 Mountain in the Southeast”, but there is a mountain in Anhui Province that is listed as one of the three famous mountains in Anhui with them. Because they are so famous that many people don’t know its name, it is Tianzhu Mountain in Qianshan City, Anqing City, Anhui Province. Many foreign tourists are not very familiar with Tianzhu Mountain. After all, there are Huangshan Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain in front of them, so many foreign tourists will go to them first. Tianzhu Mountain is relatively less popular. However, in the hearts of Anhui people, the status of Tianzhu Mountain is not lost to Huangshan and Jiuhua Mountain. Not only does it have many natural landscapes, but also has a profound historical and cultural heritage. There are many natural and cultural landscapes, which are not lost to Huangshan and Jiuhua Mountain. Why does Tianzhu Mountain do not lose to Huangshan and Jiuhua Mountain in terms of status for Anhui people? In fact, the reason is very simple. It is not how prominent the natural landscape is, but because Tianzhu Mountain has witnessed the development of Anhui since ancient times. It was named “Nan Yue” as early as the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there have been cultural activities in all dynasties. Also known as Buried Mountain, Wanshan Mountain, Wanshan Mountain, Long Live Mountain, Ancient Nanyue Mountain, and Wangong Mountain, Anhui Province abbreviated as “Wan” is derived from this. Tianzhu Mountain, as the gathering place of ancient Anhui culture, is not only known as “the hometown of seven fairies”, but also regarded as the 14th cave sky and 57 blessed place by Taoism. The second and third ancestors of Buddhism and Zen resided here in Xi, which is ” The beginning of “Chinese Zen Buddhism” to the whole country is a rare mountain and great mountain where Taoism and Buddhism coexist in Anhui Province and even in China. As the hometown of Huangmei Opera and the birthplace of Peking Opera, my country’s earliest long narrative poem “Peacock Flies Southeast” and “Xiao Qiao married” two love stories, Tianzhu Mountain has therefore become a famous mountain with profound historical and cultural heritage. Tianzhu Mountain not only has a profound historical and cultural heritage, but also a unique natural landscape. It is precisely because of its long history and unique natural landscape that it is one of the three famous mountains in the province along with Mount Huangshan and Mount Jiuhua. Tianzhu Mountain, the only UHP metamorphic zone in the country with the largest exposed area and the deepest exposure in the world, has formed a unique geological wonder, presenting natural landscapes such as strange peaks, strange rocks, secluded caves, and canyons. There are thousands of peaks in the scenic area. Wanhe hides secluded, majestic and majestic, indescribable, and is famous for being majestic, strange, spiritual and beautiful. One of the three major poets of the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi, known as the “devil of poetry”, left the famous piece “Tianzhu a peak to lift the sun and the moon, and a thousand cave gates to lock the clouds and thunder” for praise after his travels.

Cultivating terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi. Photo: Duc Long Hoang Su Phi is a district located in the west of Ha Giang province. From Ha Giang city, it takes about 3 hours to reach Vinh Quang town – the capital of Hoang Su Phi district. Setting foot in Hoang Su Phi land, visitors will be immediately attracted by the terraced fields of harvest, golden sunshine like honey, beautiful scenery like in fairy tales. Then there are cultural festivals imbued with national identity, very strange, wild and strangely attractive. Hoang Su Phi land is located on the ground with an average altitude of 800m above sea level. Here, the terrain is strongly dissected, high mountains, deep valleys, many streams, primeval forests … very suitable for the development of various types of adventure tourism, discovery tourism. Hoang Su Phi also hides in her a unique cultural treasure of ethnic minorities such as Dao, Mong, Nung, Clao, La Chi. In addition, referring to Hoang Su Phi, people immediately think of terraced fields stretching like stairs to the sky. A rare masterpiece in Vietnam’s wet rice civilization was created by human hands to adapt to the soil, climate and irrigation conditions bestowed by nature. The terraced fields were formed in the process of natural improvement, expanding the wet rice cultivation area of ​​ethnic minorities living throughout the Hoang Su Phi strip of land. Through the survey, most of the ethnic groups living in Hoang Su Phi district have mastered the technique of terraced farming such as La Chi, Tay, Nung, Dao… However, each ethnic group has its own experiences. different techniques and experiences. Hoang Su Phi terraced fields in flood season (flood season) Hoang Su Phi has a strongly dissected terrain and steep slope, so the people cannot grow rice by shifting cultivation, but instead, they have to take advantage of low hills, wide areas, and moderate slopes. Right, taking advantage of both rain water and spring water leading from high altitudes to low fields to form terraced fields. The exploitation of terraced fields requires appropriate techniques and terrain. Depending on the terrain and topography of each region, the fields are wide, narrow, long, short, high, and low. In the past, through each production season, households who found that there was a shortage of arable land would choose in the family’s forest and shifting fields the most suitable location, closest to the water source, to develop into fields. Currently, because the land is less and less, the most fertile land has also been cleared into terraced fields, the choice of land does not require as many requirements as before. The government’s policy of land allocation and forest allocation also somewhat limits the choice of places to exploit for farming. Usually, if the previous year’s hill area is cleared and the land is still there, they will continue to do it, when the land runs out, they will find another hill to explore. When families have a need to explore new fields, they will gather together to do the work in exchange. The farming season of the Dao people in Ban Luoc and San Sa Ho communes usually starts right after the Tet holiday, while the La Chi people in Ban Phung commune open their fields in the rainy season, from April to September of the lunar calendar. Before proceeding to renovate the field, they also need to carefully calculate the length and width of the field, the low altitude between the fields, the location of the water channels, the way to conduct the water … effort, time consuming. Usually they will ask elderly people who have experience in clearing fields to take care of the design of the fields. The selection of farming sites is carefully conducted by the local people. The area that meets the requirements must be a place where the soil is loose, fertile, without big rocks, formerly a primeval forest. The slope of the land is not large, it is possible to create a wide and long field. The most important thing when choosing land to exploit is that in the area or nearby there must be a source of water, a place where water can be brought to the field easily and without much effort. Once the calculations are done, get to work. The first is to create a field surface, the tools to exploit the field are very simple, only a hoe, a pickaxe, a wooden harrow and a knife. The process of clearing the field is started from the highest place to the lowest. Depending on the topography and slope of the hill, the height and width of the terraces are also different. Once the ground is available, they proceed to embankment and then bring water to soak the field feet. Usually, it is not until the next year’s crop that they start plowing. For the Red Dao people in Ho Thau commune, they subtract a small area of ​​forest around the field for each area of ​​the field to keep the land from landslides; while the La Chi in Ban Phung commune keep the top layer of soil. After clearing the field, they spread that layer of soil and cultivate it right away. In order for the fields to be shaped, shaped, can be cultivated and ensured productivity, the farmers in Hoang Su Phi have spent many days in the rain. The work of cultivating the fields is continued by the ethnic people here from year to year, from generation to generation, creating the slopes of the fields like monumental art paintings hanging on the hillsides. The industrious and creative labor of the people of Hoang Su Phi has helped to make life full and create a beautiful picture of nature. The golden rice mats in the shape of raspberries, streams, and winding rivers continue to stretch to the horizon. From his labor, the farmer drew a beautiful picture of nature from the song of breaking the ground. Developing tourism associated with the heritage of terraced fields Hoang Su Phi terraced fields in the ripe rice season.

Up to now, Hoang Su Phi has over 3,720 hectares of terraced fields spread throughout 24/24 communes and towns. In 2012, terraced fields in 6 communes (Ban Luoc, San Sa Ho, Ban Phung, Ho Thau, Nam Ty and Thong Nguyen) of Hoang Su Phi were certified as a National Monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. family. By 2017, 5 more communes (Ta Su Choong, Ban Nhuong, Po Lo, Thang Tin, Nam Khoa) were added to the list of terraced fields in the heritage area. The whole district has over 2,196 hectares of terraced fields in the protected heritage area. From value and promotion, the image of Hoang Su Phi terraced fields is now not only limited to domestic but also international. For many years now, foreign tourists have known Hoang Su Phi through the path of travel and discovery, especially discovering and experiencing the heritage of terraced fields. However, for terraced field tourism in Hoang Su Phi to develop sustainably and create long-term livelihoods for local people, the locality wants the province to continue to have orientations to guide tourism development; pay more attention to the investment in facilities so that the locality can focus on developing tourism in the direction of agricultural tourism, community tourism combined with preserving the national cultural identity to attract tourists. .

Friends who like to travel should not be unfamiliar with wind and rain covered bridges in minority areas, because they are a very common bridge construction. These covered bridges not only allow people to walk through rivers and streams, but also provide shelter for passers-by. The place of rain is also a resting place for pedestrians who have traveled long distances in the depths of the mountains. There are many well-known covered bridges in China, especially those ethnic minority autonomous counties in Guizhou. Almost every cottage has wind and rain covered bridges, and there are many famous ones. However, as far as the wind and rain covered bridges in Guangxi are concerned, it has to be said that they are located in Sanjiang, Liuzhou. Chengyang Yongji Bridge. Yongji Bridge is a wind and rain covered bridge for the Dong nationality. It is located at the Linxi River in Chengyang Bazhai (Ma’anzhai), Linxi Township, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Guangxi. The bridge is 96 meters in length, 4 meters in width and 7 meters in height. It is preserved in Guangxi. One of the most perfect stone arch bridges so far, it is now a national key cultural relics protection unit, and it was also included in the country’s preliminary list of declarations of world cultural heritage to the United Nations in 1997. Yongji Bridge is a representative gallery bridge built by the Dong compatriots over thousands of years, which contains super-high architectural skills and wisdom. Maybe some friends don’t know much about the Dong nationality. In fact, it is a relatively ethnic minority living in southwest my country. The total population exceeds 2.5 million. The Dong nationality compatriots are good at wooden construction. In their Dong villages, there are many buildings everywhere. Drum Tower, Zhaimen, Dajiaolou and Fengyu Bridge with peculiar shapes and rigorous structure. According to the staff, Yongji Bridge is also known as Chengyang Bridge or Chengyang Fengyu Bridge because it is located at the entrance of Chengyang Bazhai. The bridge was built in 1912 and has a history of 109 years. From the structure of the bridge Look, the lower part of the bridge is composed of two piers and three piers built with blue stones. The piers are six-sided columns. The upstream and downstream are all pointed, with an angle of attack of 68 degrees. Therefore, the design is extremely scientific, even if it encounters no matter how large the water is. Its scouring force will also be quickly removed. As a national key cultural protection unit and a quasi-world cultural heritage, Chengyang Yongji Bridge is not only a landmark of Chengyang Bazhai, but also one of the landmarks of Sanjiang County. The villagers in the village are also full of affection for it, and often also Some grand and grand welcoming ceremonies are held on this bridge. For example, the picture above is the situation encountered when Yu Fan went to visit. The beautiful Dong family girl stopped the bridge head of Yongji Bridge with a red rope, and the tourists entered the village. Either drink, or sing in antithesis, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the village. A very interesting welcome ceremony. There are five bridge pavilions in Yongji Bridge, and the tops of these bridge pavilions and the corners of the eaves are inlaid with beautiful ornaments. Tung oil, lime, and glutinous rice syrup are used as raw materials to create lifelike auspicious birds. According to the old people in the stockade, these gourds and auspicious birds have good meanings, such as a bunch of gourds, which symbolizes a good weather, a lot of fruits, and a good harvest every year. And the auspicious birds are like spreading their wings and want to fly, which is a good embellishment for the beautiful pictures of Wind and Rain Bridge. The length of Yongji Bridge is 77.6 meters, the width is 3.75 meters, and the height is 20 meters. Its structural technology and plastic art form a high degree of unity. In those days, the ink masters and craftsmen did not need to draw, make molds, or nail or rivet. They all relied on a wooden square called “fragrant pole” by the locals to measure, draw, chisel, and saw to make the structure complex and majestic. The magnificent wind and rain bridge was built. At the bridgehead of Yongji Bridge, there is a red inscription, which is said to be inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo. In 1965, after Mr. Guo Moruo saw the model of Chengyang Bridge in Beijing, he was pleasantly surprised and happily wrote the three characters “Chengyang Bridge”. And praised with poems: Yan said the Linxi Wind and Rain Bridge, which is twenty feet long and four feet long. The Zhongling Liange is pleasant and ingenious, and the columns flow into Wangyao. Bamboo and wood are stronger than iron, and the tea forest will grow new seedlings forever. When you can get to the Three Rivers Road, learn how to use plows and work hard. At the bridgehead of Yongji Bridge, we saw pieces of bluestone tablets erected on them, which recorded the names of the donors of the villages and villages when the Fengyu Bridge was built. According to the “Sanjiang County Chronicles”: Actively strive to be the first… The supply of materials is regardless of the rich or the poor, the service does not count the sun and the moon, men and women, old and young, only do their best, and never stop without prejudice.” The Dong family’s love of public welfare, solidarity and friendship can be seen from this. This is the treasure of Chengyang Bazhai town-Yongji Bridge. As a wind and rain bridge spanning the river with all stone and wood structure, it has a long history and is beautiful in appearance, exquisitely crafted and well-preserved. It may become a world cultural heritage in the future. It’s just a matter of time. If you have the opportunity to visit Liuzhou, you can stop here.

The jockeys competed on the opening day of the Fansipan horse race with the theme of Horseshoe on the Clouds in June 2019. (Photo: Quoc Khanh/VNA) Not a commercial, not a professional race, the Horse Racing Festival in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are also pack horses. On May 31, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism gave Bac Ha horse racing festival (Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province) on the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is considered a great opportunity for Lao Cai province to preserve the unique cultural features in the Northwest highlands. For those who have been born and raised in the “white plateau” land of Bac Ha, Lao Cai, it seems that the daily “sweeping piles… thumping” sounds of the horse-drawn carriages beat on the winding hill roads. , especially at night in the morning, in the afternoon sun or cool afternoon, has been deeply ingrained in the subconscious. The familiar sound of horse hooves also reminds the children of Bac Ha who have been away from home for a long time to be impressed by the traditional horse racing tournament that has existed for hundreds of years in this locality. In the sunny summer days when the hillsides of the Bac Ha highland are full of red plums, it is also the time when the pack horses, the “barefoot knights” temporarily put aside their daily farming work, eagerly preparing to participate in the traditional horse racing tournament – a sports tournament imbued with the traditional cultural beauty of the highland ethnic groups in Lao Cai. In the highland districts Lao Cai The horse is both a close friend and an important daily means of transportation. Every day, in the mornings that have not yet cleared the dew, even though it is still cold, horses still work hard to help the Mong family carry farming tools, fertilizers, and seeds to the fields. In the evening, when the sun shines through the western mountains, it is also the time when horses patiently carry the harvested products from the fields to home. Upland mountain roads are steep and winding, rocky mountains are bumpy, only a horse – a close friend, can help the Mong people sow corn and rice grains on the top of the mountain, and the slopes are precarious. Horse is a friend in everyday life but also a sacred animal in the religious life of the Mong people. The horse is the only thing that transforms into a stretcher to bring the dead to eternity. Only the horse has enough mystical power to carry the Hmong shaman to the heavens, the earth, and the rivers and seas to find the souls of the sick and heal the Hmong. According to Ms. Chu Thi Duong, Vice Chairwoman of Bac Ha District People’s Committee, maintaining the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Racing Tournament is one of the local efforts to honor the fine cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities. Bac Ha highland in general and praised the unique and emotional attachment between upland people and animals that are extremely attached and familiar in their daily life and spiritual life. Click to see standard size. According to history, the Bac Ha horse race is usually held in the spring on a regional scale. In 1975, Bac Ha held a parade with over 200 horses going around the central area to celebrate the liberation of the South and reunification of the country. In the spring of 1980, Bac Ha District Team (Military Command) organized a horse race, shooting to choose good horsemen and gunners to join the militia and transport food by road. After that, Bac Ha did not organize another tournament. In 2007, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament was officially restored. Since then, the award has become an annual festival of Bac Ha district, held once a year, meeting the needs of people to enjoy the cultural and spiritual life, contributing to the preservation and promotion of cultural and sports traditions of ethnic minorities in Bac Ha; promote the image of people, travel Bac Ha to traveler at home and abroad, becoming a highlight to attract tourists to Bac Ha. The previous Bac Ha horse racing festival took place around fields and hills, and ended up in a field in the center of town. When nearly reaching the finish line, the horsemen quickly jumped to the ground, pulled the flintlock on their shoulders and aimed at the target, fired 5 shots, then snatched the red ball, jumped on the horse and returned to the starting point. Whoever is both fast and hits the target the most is the winner. Today, the horse race in Bac Ha is no longer a shooting competition, the jockeys also have a separate arena, the race is organized and more attractive to viewers. Not a commercial, not a professional race, horse racing in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are pack horses. In particular, horse racing in Bac Ha is “carpentry racing,” where jockeys ride on horseback without a saddle, without pedals, but only with a belt to tie the horse, two iron hooks tied to the ropes on either side of the jaw to control. In the process of participating in the competition, looking at the jockeys crouching on the backs of the “strong horses” are galloping to see the difficulty and courage of the horsemen on the track.

Collisions can cause accidents: “Sit firmly on your back to control the horse when running. When cornering, pull the reins and slow down to avoid falling. When the road is straight, release the reins and spur the horse to run at full speed. force.” Every year, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament attracts a lot of domestic and foreign tourists to attend. The audience experienced all kinds of emotions: holding their breath when a horse ran too far out of the yard, running towards the barrier; Get your heart racing when a jockey falls off his horse on the track or burst with joy when the horses race past their opponents spectacularly.

For many countries, the price of fruits in Japan is unbelievably expensive, and not too diverse in terms of quantity. However, foreign guests are impressed by the freshness and quality of vegetables here. One of the most typical examples is the case when Vietnamese lychees are exported here, sold at a rather high price of 500,000 VND/kg, a box of 7 lychees is bought and placed in a very luxurious box. . 2. Japanese people are so easily embarrassed that even if they speak English, they won’t speak! The Japanese have long been known to be shy and timid, but to the extent that they dare not speak English to foreigners is strange.

I know a lot of people know English, but they don’t speak at all.” One visitor shared. 3. Men don’t pay the entire bill Even in the age of gender equality, it is quite common for men to actively pay for meals.

Guangzhou·China Import and Export Fair Complex, Zone A

To

It has become an annual tourism event for information exchange, promotion and product trade in the cultural and tourism industries at home and abroad.

If you visit Dongshan in Suzhou, there are two scenic spots that can be said to be a must. Not only can you appreciate the scenery of Taihu Lake, you can also feel the profound cultural heritage here, namely Qiyuan and Dongshan Carved Flower Building. 1. Suzhou Gardens: Kai Garden Kai Garden is located on the shore of Taihu Lake in Dongshan. It is located behind the mountain and the lake. It is the only classical garden among the many Suzhou gardens that is surrounded by mountains and water. However, its reputation is not great, perhaps because of its remoteness. It takes nearly an hour from Suzhou city to here. Qi Yuan was originally a private garden, and its owner was Xi Qisun, a native of Dongshan, who bought the land in the 1930s and spent 100,000 silver taels to build this private garden in 3 years, so Qi Yuan is also called Xi’s Garden. The reason why this private garden was built at that time was to commemorate the ancestors who greeted Emperor Kangxi here, and now the imperial dock can be seen near the lake in this garden, that is, the Emperor Kangxi who greeted him here. It has to be said that the site selection of Qiyuan is very good. It is built on the hillside and lives by the water. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is self-evident. The interior of the garden is also not to be underestimated. It is not only the small and exquisite gardens of Suzhou, but also the majestic grandeur of mountain peaks and lakes. The pavilions, terraces and pavilions are intertwined with the landscape, which is refreshing. In my opinion, Qiyuan consists of four parts, namely the courtyard, the garden, the small courtyard of Liu Yi and the vast expanse of Taihu Lake. In the garden, the scenery is changed step by step, as if passing through. Compared to other classical gardens, I prefer Qiyuan. One is that there are few people here and it is quiet, and the other is the small scenery here. The scenery is like thoughts, which makes people feel deeply. 2. Dongshan Carved Flower Building Dongshan Diaohualou is located in Dongshan Town, about 2.5 kilometers away from Qiyuan. There are three existing carved buildings in Jiangsu, one of which is the Dongshan Carved Building, the other two are the Taizhou Port Carved Building and the Xishan Carved Building. It ranks first among the three carved buildings and is one of the representatives of architectural sculptures in Wuzhong District, Suzhou. It is enough to show its high status. Dongshan Carved Building was built in 1922 and has a history of nearly a hundred years. It is reported that more than 250 craftsmen were used to build this carved building, which lasted three years and cost 3741 taels of gold, which shows its high cost. From the gatehouse at the entrance of the carved building, you can see rich and delicate carved flowers. The gatehouse is just like the face of the owner, and naturally incorporates many carvings, such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, peonies, bergamot, auspicious clouds and the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” Allusions and so on. After stepping through the gate tower, I was instantly attracted and shocked by the sight in front of me. At this moment, I finally understand why it is called the carved building. The beams, trusses, columns and eaves of the entire pavilion are covered with carvings, including wood carvings, stone carvings, and bricks. The sculptures and carvings are very rich and dazzling. I remember that there is a sentence describing the Dongshan Carved Flower Building: “The building is carved everywhere, and the carving is perfect everywhere.” You can only know the true meaning of this sentence when you see it with your own eyes. The Dongshan Carved Flower Building is indeed beautiful. The beauty lies in the carving and the beauty. The story told. I don’t know. Have you ever visited or heard of these two attractions when you visited Dongshan in Suzhou? What is your impression of the scenery here? If you haven’t been there yet, will you check in if you have a chance? Welcome to leave comments.

Chairman of the Phu Quoc Fish Sauce Association, Ho Kim Lien, said that Phu Quoc waters have many types of seaweed and plankton which are the main food source for anchovies, the main raw material for making fish sauce. Therefore, anchovies grow abundantly in this sea.

Incubating anchovies in wooden barrels is a feature of Phu Quoc fish sauce making. Boi Loi is a type of wood used to make fish sauce barrels, which are abundant in Phu Quoc forest. The longer the barrel is left, the stronger the wood, the better the quality of the fish sauce. The barrel has a round cylinder with a wide mouth, made from 55 boards of equal sizes: 2.2m long, 20cm wide, 6cm thick; The diameter of the barrel mouth is about 3.2m, the bottom is about 2.6m.

Photo: Vinhphuc.gov.vn Through 7 excavations, many archaeological remains have been discovered with thousands of specimens, tons of pottery pieces of all kinds, extremely rich in materials, types, diverse in types and designs. symbols of 3 cultures: Phung Nguyen – Dong Dau – Go Mun made of stone (axe, chisels, grinding tables, rings, jewelry beads), bronze (ax, file, arrow, hook, javelin) ceramic ( pieces of pots, jars, forks, stringers, ceramic balls and many tools made of bones and horns, animal remains such as pigs, deer, deer, buffalo, cows, dogs, tigers… and quite a few fish bones. At the same time, there are also images of buffaloes, cows, chickens and many animal bones found, for the first time, burnt rice grains have been found, proving that wet rice farming has existed for a long time and plays an important role. important in the life of ancient Vietnamese residents. Dong Dau Go is a precious relic, contributing to affirming in the historical process of the nation spanning about 2 millennia, the ancient Vietnamese people stopped and settled in Dong Dau, creating the Northern Delta. and created the Red River civilization, especially built a brilliant wet rice civilization. Compared to all other archaeological sites (usually with a cultural layer of about 40-50cm), Dong Dau has the thickest cultural layer up to 6m and has a bottom-up evolution over time. Archaeologists have discovered 4 cultural layers of this archaeological site. The bottom (oldest) layer unearthed many stoneware, pottery, horn tools and many animal remains. Notably, in 1999, the Vietnam History Museum in collaboration with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vinh Phuc conducted the 6th excavation and discovered a burial tomb, still retaining human remains of the Phung Nguyen culture. This excavation, although only 25m2, but also discovered a tomb located at a depth of 3m. Archaeologists have found very clear tomb borders. The tomb is almost intact except for the missing left femur – possibly due to later people digging a hole to hit the grave and also not ruling out the destruction of the termite nest. The reason is unknown, but found evidence that the right fibula was broken but healed. In particular, there is the custom of dyeing the teeth black and the custom of extracting the upper front teeth and the entire lower front teeth. Obviously, this is not a lost tooth, because if it falls out, the arch must leave traces of tooth points. Meanwhile, this skeleton saw that the lower arch of the jaw where it was extracted had healed to form a sharp edge. The ancient human remains found in Dong Dau were dated by radiocarbon dating (C14) method, showing that the earliest class in Dong Dau dates back to 3,500 years ago. In the remaining three cultural layers, more bronze artifacts were discovered. From the discovered archaeological relics, through the research process, up to now, it is possible to recognize the basic Dong Dau archaeological relics: Dong Dau is the largest ancient Vietnamese residence site in the center of the Northern Delta region, the largest distribution area, the thickest cultural layer, containing a huge amount of archaeological artifacts. and rich. Overview of the excavation pit at Dong Dau relic, 1969. The stages of archaeological culture following the continuous progression at the archaeological site of Dong Dau have confirmed very clearly that: The earliest class was from Phung Nguyen, followed by Dong Dau, Go Mun and finally Dong Son. And because of that, from the Dong Dau relic, Vietnamese archaeologists have a scientific basis to determine the criteria for the stages of cultural development in the Red River basin: The earliest humans present here belong to the late stage of Phung Nguyen culture, they have reached the peak of primitive stone processing techniques, polished, beautiful, sophisticated stone jewelry, began to appear. copper metallurgy. Pottery made by turntable, elegant, balanced, beautiful, typical pattern is the project of carving lines, dots, and symmetry. Wet rice farming has developed, many rice grains and rice burned in coal ash have been discovered. Next is the Dong Dau period with typical elements of reduced stone tools, thick pottery, high calcination, decorative patterns with music staff motifs, brushed into projects: letter S, number 8, symmetry ; bones, horns develop; copper casting technique became the dominant factor. The third layer belongs to the Go Mun culture period, the remaining stone items are few, the horn bones are rare, the pottery is rough, the calcination is higher than the previous two stages, mainly the broken mouth, the main decorative pattern. on the mouth. The top layer belongs to the Dong Son culture period, because the surface of the site has been plowed since it has not been discovered, but the discovered relics are scattered in the scope of the site, mainly bronze artifacts: Axes. Xeo, spear, and knife are typical of Dong Son culture. With 4 periods of archaeological culture present on the same site, the development is continuous, representing a stable and long-term settlement process of ancient Vietnamese residents to form the first State of the people. Ethnicity- State of Van Lang in the Hung King era This is the greatest value of the archaeological site of Dong Dau, not only for Vinh Phuc but also for Vietnam and Southeast Asia. These are extremely valuable evidences to learn about the customs, practices and especially the anthropological composition of the ancient Vietnamese in the Red River basin. The discovery of ancient human remains in Dong Dau will contribute to scientific documents that gradually shed light on the issue of “Vietnamese origin” that many scientists are still trying to find and research. From that, it can be affirmed that Dong Dau along with other archaeological vestiges system in Yen Lac and Vinh Phuc province is from Phung Nguyen culture to Dong Son culture, which brought the process of opening the period of Hung Vuong building the country from the mythical age of Vietnam. history but is being forgotten, wasted, not studied, preserved and promoted to serve sustainable socio-economic development.

Urine boiled egg dish in China. (Illustration) Similar to boiled eggs with tea, but with a special ingredient that is soaked, boiled and stewed in the boy’s urine. This dish is considered an ethereal pleasure of the Chinese, so boiled egg with urine is also known with a rather “beautiful” name, which is boiled egg with pupil urine, or boiled egg with male urine. Close-up of an egg boiled with pupil urine. (Illustration) The dish “boiled eggs with urine” has a fairly simple recipe, including only eggs, time and pupil urine. Every day, urine from boys under the age of 10 is collected from local primary schools. Eggs are first soaked in urine, then boiled. Once the eggs have been hunted, the shells are broken to allow urine to penetrate into the eggs, and then continue to be flushed with urine at room temperature to prevent the eggs from being overcooked. Woman pouring urine on top of eggs. (Illustration) Since ancient times, Eastern medicine has given “the juice of the small copper” as a medicine, which can cure many different diseases. Therefore, it is said that boiled eggs with urine also have the effect of enhancing blood circulation, increasing vitality, and even preventing stroke. Because of those “fanciful” uses, boiled eggs with pupil urine cost four times more than the price of ordinary boiled eggs. Urine boiled eggs cost more than regular boiled eggs. (Illustration) However, whether it is an intangible cultural heritage or an oriental medicine with many healing and health-enhancing effects, not everyone is brave enough to try this strange and delicious dish. This looks unhygienic. Even today, Chinese medical experts and international public opinion are still skeptical, arguing quite fiercely about the use as well as the food hygiene problem of the pupil’s urine boiled egg. Although it is an intangible cultural heritage, not everyone dares to try this dish. (Illustration) But the two words “elite” in the culinary industry and the time factor are inherently inseparable. Whatever you say, boiled eggs with urine have existed for a century and have become an indisputable cultural feature in the cuisine of Indochina in particular, and of China in general.

A fresh batch of baguettes From the countryside to the city, the long bread made by hand is a familiar image in the daily life of the French people. The baguette has also been a creative inspiration for many artists and has gone into many works of art. From a foreign perspective, when it comes to France, in terms of cuisine, the baguette is probably one of the most intimate and simple symbols, next to countless types of wine, champagne or cheese. So when did baguettes in France come from? According to historian Steven Kaplan, up to now, in France, there are usually three anecdotes about the origin of baguette bread. It is said by many that the long bread was invented by the bakers of Emperor Napoleon in the early 19th century. Lighter and less bulky than the earlier round loaf, the long loaves were easily carried by soldiers. people. In another anecdote, baguettes originated in Austria and were brought to France by a Viennese baker named August Zang in 1839, and were originally sold in Paris as ovals. And finally, the baguette was invented on the Paris subway site in the 1900s, a time when workers from all over France flocked here, and there were often fights between Brittany and regional workers. Auvergne. To prevent workers from stabbing each other with knives, contractors are said to have asked bakers to make loaves of bread that are easy to break by hand rather than using a knife. However, those are just oral anecdotes. Historian Steven Kaplan asserts that the traditional baguette originated in the 20th century, stemming from a change in the dietary needs of urban people. The affluent class living in urban areas wanted to eat fresh bread many times a day, while the big, round breads weighing 1.2-2kg at that time were too big, they had to eat a few meals to finish. Moreover, people also prefer to eat the crust rather than the inside. For centuries before that, bread was made with sourdough, obtained by the natural fermentation of bacteria found in wheat. For the workers, the process of making cakes is very hard work. Steven Kaplan recounted, the baker at that time was likened to a “white miner”, working all night. Many consider it inhumane to let bakers work in such conditions, leading to a movement to find ways to reduce their hardship. By 1919, France had a law banning bakers from working at night. Therefore, the craftsmen have come up with a simpler way to make bread and shape the long, thin baguette to bake the cake faster. And so the baguette was born. According to the National Federation of French Bakery and Pastry Shops, 32,000 artisan bakeries with 180,000 employees earn about 11 billion EUR/year in revenue. However, the French Ministry of Culture said that the number of bakeries has dropped sharply in the past five decades due to competition from supermarkets with industrial, frozen bread. Many people hope that the French Ministry of Culture’s selection of baguettes to submit to UNESCO for nominations for the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity will contribute to preserving France’s artisanal bread production from the competition of the industrial production methods.

Japan has outlined a plan to conduct tests on the new missile by 2026 and is expected to have the first full launch by 2030. H-2A boosters at Tanegashima Space Center It is known that the country intends to use the same technology as the technology that SpaceX applies to the Falcon 9 rocket. That is the first landing technology of the rocket on the floating floor. Since the early 2000s, Japan has used H-2A boosters. The cost per launch is about 91 million USD, much more expensive than other similar devices in the world. The Japan Aerospace Research and Development Agency (JAXA) plans to make the first launch of the new H-III missile before the spring of 2022. However, according to calculations, the operation of the new equipment will only cost about half the cost of the H-2A boosters.

Talking to CNBC, 6 people said they refused to be interviewed, offered a job or left TikTok as soon as they learned of the company’s 996 culture, whether through online review or direct experience. Culture 996 is very popular with Chinese business. It comes from the requirement that the work begins at 9am to 9pm, 6 days / week, or 72 hours / week. Meanwhile, the number of working hours in the UK and the US is about 40 hours / week. In the UK, working in excess of 48 hours per week on average is considered illegal. “I stopped discussing immediately” An employee invited to act as a communicator for TikTok said 996 culture is really a concern. When researching TikTok on the Glassdoor recruiting site, the most common downside is work imbalance – insane working hours and life. This person “stopped talking immediately when he knew that they were not very flexible about the location and working policy”. A few weeks later, the person was offered a similar role at ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, but declined. Another senior artificial intelligence researcher revealed that he did not accept TikTok’s invitation even when the employer announced the salary of more than £ 100,000 / year (3.25 billion / year), not including bonuses. The expert also went to Glassdoor to look for TikTok reviews. For this person, the balance between public – private is very important. Of course, online reviews are not the only factor to refuse to go with TikTok. While Glassdoor is recognized as a useful platform when searching for a company’s internal culture, it’s not perfect, and reviews are for reference only. People can post many different reviews. However, 4 former TikTok employees told CNBC that they have had a really negative experience here. A former employee said TikTok is the most “poisonous” office I have ever tasted. “Everyone there is completely miserable and life is too short. In the first year before the epidemic swept, I counted only four or five weekends without work… I know TikTok is having trouble with hiring but in the end they don’t care. People to them are just numbers ”. Another former employee shared that, on average, he had to work 15 hours a day at TikTok. “For them, that is normal. Everyone complained but still accepted, perhaps because of good pirated wages “. This person also dislikes the company’s very opaque culture because he doesn’t get an answer when asking a question about his or her workplace. “Stay away, stay away, stay away” Two other former employees of TikTok concur with the above point. One person even sent CNBC a review of the company on Glassdoor titled: “Stay away, stay away, stay away”. In the 1-star review, there are 10 reasons listed why people should refuse to join TikTok and look for another company. This person criticized the “unbalanced public – private life” to “toxic groups” and “terrible management”. TikTok is expanding its workforce globally to deal with the pressure of becoming too popular. The company seeks content management, technical or policy staff. To improve the working environment, TikTok recruited Michal Osman from Facebook to be the European Cultural Director in January. However, countless people left before. Currently, TikTok employees in Europe are more than 3,000 people, up from 1,600 people in September 2020. Many people used to work at Facebook and Google. A TikTok employee said not to go through 996 culture at the company. In addition, they have rules such as prohibiting meeting on Wednesday lunchtime or not meeting on Friday afternoon. Like any other development startup, employees work hard and sometimes have to work overtime when urgent, said a TikTok spokesperson. Song TikTok has no 996 policy. In the UK, consulting firm Great Place to Work ranks TikTok as the 30th best place to work based on employee experience and anonymous feedback. Du Lam (According to CNBC)

Digital library Until now, when referring to the library, people often think of the rooms filled with books and paper documents. But the digital transformation trend is gradually changing the way traditional libraries operate, opening a new era in which paper books no longer have a unique position. That method is electronic library, also known as digital library. Digital library is one of the solutions to promote reading culture In the past, documents and paper books in the library often did not have a long lifespan due to complicated preservation process and many difficulties. Each book has been used many times, as well as the negative impacts from the environment such as mold, insects, … On the other hand, some school units still have difficulty, so traditional libraries are only capable There are enough books for a certain number of students. The emergence of the digital library form is gradually solving the problems of traditional libraries. Specifically, the seminar on reading culture in the digital transformation period taking place on April 19 in Ho Chi Minh City mentioned the advantages of e-libraries in stimulating the reading habits of subjects. students and students of all levels. “Thanks to the electronic library, reading can now take place anywhere,” said Mr. Ibadulla Yoldas – vice principal of Horizon International School. It is not necessary to go to school to read books, students can read books at home ”. According to Mr. Yoldas: “Digital library is the solution, an idea for schools to apply in teaching and learning”. Audiobooks The digital transformation process in Vietnam is forming a new habit for modern readers – the habit of “listening to books”. This is said to be the result of real needs of modern young people who do not have much time but still want to cultivate their knowledge. In fact, many hours a day are wasted. It could be traffic jam, waiting for the plane, or even while doing housework … Instead of accepting lost time and feeling bored, many people have used audiobooks as a “countermeasure” solution. dealing with busy life. The seminar “Reading culture in digital transformation” took place at the opening ceremony of Vietnam Book Day 2021 mentioned the trend of “listening to books”. Currently, many Vietnamese audiobooks are constantly improving product quality to bring the best experience to readers. One of them is the application of artificial intelligence to create a reading voice suitable for each type of book. Also during the seminar on Reading Culture, Mr. Le Hoang Thach, Co-Founder of Voiz FM, shared: “In a recent test of the company with 800 customers. Up to 70% of them could not distinguish the artificial voice from books and real human voices ”. According to ICT Vietnam, our country is similar to the international audiobook market in general and the US market in particular in terms of the structure of listeners. Specifically, they are young, employed and educated clients. These subjects tend to spend a large amount of time using the Internet, using mobile devices to receive information. This can be considered as a prerequisite for the application of digital technology, developing audiobooks and forming Vietnamese books’ listening habits. Create reading habits for children With the attraction of programs on Youtube or games on technology applications, children are not currently able to form a habit of reading. This forces families and schools to have strategies for children to adapt to the reading culture. Instead of the time for children to watch entertainment programs, parents should join their children to access online reading applications, read interactive books with their children … At the same time, it is necessary to give children a reading space. New books, stimulate children to find books and help children feel comfortable reading. Online books with interactive programs are a solution to help form reading habits for children Talking about the issue of forming reading habits for children, Mr. Nguyen Nguyen – Director of the Publishing Department emphasized: The habit of reading books for children must originate from families and schools. It is necessary for the children to have space to read books, time to read books, and then form the reading habits so that they love books. And Mr. Nguyen Nguyen also affirmed: “Publishing capacity in Vietnam is not weak, but the reading culture is not high. Digital transformation will help narrow that gap and stimulate reading culture ”./.

On April 18th, reporters from Beijing Youth Daily’s WeChat public account education round table (WeChat public account: jiaoyuyuanzhuo) came to Liuli Factory to experience woodblock watermarks in Rongbaozhai, and to learn brush making at Dai Yuexuan to experience intangible cultural heritage skills. charm.

Rongbaozhai, which has a history of more than 300 years, possesses two national intangible cultural heritage skills, “wooden watermarking” and “mounting restoration”. “The woodblock watermarks are completely hand-printed. Whether it is ink or mineral pigments, the colors are selected according to the needs of the painting. The more emphasis is on the charm, ink fun, and creativity. This is completely different from the high imitation paintings printed by many machines. It’s different.” In the explanation given by Manager Chen Ming of Rongbaozhai Woodblock Watermark Workshop, reporters learned about the operation process of woodblock watermarking, “Rongbaozhai’s woodblock watermarks are all manually operated, and the process generally requires draft selection. The five processes of painting, sketching, engraving, printing, and mounting can complete a woodblock watermark painting. It takes as little as several months to as many as several years.” Listening to Manager Chen’s detailed explanation, the students also saw Rong Baozhai. Among the many copied works, “Han Xizai Night Banquet” is the highest level. “Han Xizai’s Hu Yan is as thin as a hairspring but also sturdy and powerful. It takes four or five sets of plates to express Hu Yan’s complex and simple, virtual and solid, dark and light line levels. This work uses 1,667 woodblocks, and a total of 20 pieces are spent from the planning. It was only made in years.”

After gaining a lot of theoretical knowledge, the young reporters are eager to try in the experience session. Turning the palm brush clockwise on the carved wood block, brushing the water with a brush, spreading rice paper, and calendering with a special tool rake. After repeated attempts, the students have harvested a cute red panda. Zhao Zhile, a third-grade student from Beijing Gongda Primary School, said happily: “Through today’s experience activities, I have a preliminary understanding of the production method and process of woodblock watermarking, and I feel the profoundness of traditional culture and the true craftsmanship. ”

Passing through the quaint streets and alleys of Liulichang Cultural Street, the reporters arrived at the second destination of the trip-Dai Yuexuan. Dai Yuexuan was founded in 1916, and its brushes are traditional handicrafts with a long history. Dai Yuexuan is the only time-honored shop in Liulichang Cultural Street with a personal name. Every time a Hu pen is made, from selecting materials to making it, the pen-making process ranges from dozens to more than a hundred. The craftsmanship of the Hu pen was also included in the first batch of national non-profit organizations as early as 2006. List of tangible cultural heritage.

Starting from the birth of the brush, the staff of Dai Yuexuan explained the types and craftsmanship, and led the education roundtable reporters to trace the culture and history of the brush. Afterwards, the young reporters learned to make brushes and conducted multiple experience sessions, such as “equalizing”, “pressing”, “fixing the pen” and “setting the pen”. The staff gave each of the reporters a wax thread for strapping on the spot, so that everyone could learn to strap it.

Finally, reporters from Beijing Youth Daily conducted writing training for young reporters. Through the “point”, “qi”, “round” and “healthy” characteristics of a small brush, I will teach you how to write “good articles” by observing details and using perception.

This is the first time I have visited a soy sauce factory, and it feels completely different from other factories. The green lawn is densely covered with small tanks. There is no industrial atmosphere at all. The craftsmanship of hand-made sauce is well-known. Fortunately, it just happened. Found number 0001, which is considered a beginning. Many people will definitely be curious, why should the fermentation tank be put in the ground? Listening to the tour guide said that it is to “absorb the earth’s energy”, and traditional things pay more attention to the five elements of Yin and Yang. Inside these small jars are fermented soybeans, which will take three to four years after being placed here. The reason why it is called “five to one” soy sauce means that only five catties of soybeans can be used to make one catty of soy sauce. To do a little science here, the fermentation time of soy sauce is too short, because it has not been fully fermented, and the time is too long. Soy sauce with too long fermentation is too thick and not suitable for consumption. It will be just right for three to four years. And the four-year fermentation period is better than the three-year fermentation period, and the price is more expensive. By the way, the hats of these fermentation tanks are also hand-made by nearby farmers, which can be regarded as driving the local economic development and increasing farmers’ income. There are a few big characters on the side of the sauce jar, which are called “Jianqi Hejiang”. What is “Jianqi Hejiang”? In fact, this is related to a period of history in Hejiang County. According to the records of “Historical Records”, when Panyang ordered Tang Meng when he was on a mission to Nanyue, he stumbled upon a scented sauce here, and then reported to Emperor Wu of Han. After the letter was written, he left the country from Bajun Fuguan, sent troops to Yelang Kingdom, and defeated Yelang and Dian Kingdom all the way, and wiped out Nanyue. This is an interesting historical story and also marks the long history of Hejiang soy sauce. And this soy sauce factory can be traced back to 1918. It was jointly established by Zhang Maojiu and Zhang Zhixuan, who were from Hejiang at the time, with 4000 silver dollars each. Since then, soy sauce has been produced continuously for hundreds of years. It is a 100-year-old shop. Now the factory is not only a base for producing soy sauce, but also a place to visit soy sauce production and popular science soy sauce. There is also an observation deck in the factory area. You can get a panoramic view of the entire factory area on the observation deck. At this time, you will find a magical thing. Although these fermentation tanks are arranged densely, it is said that there are 100,000 mouths in total. The display is very neat, it is said that it is placed using satellite positioning, so that no matter what angle the visitors look at, these fermentation tanks are presented in a straight line, which is indeed very spectacular. The soy sauce produced here is more viscous and tastes better than other places. Although there are 100,000 fermentation tanks, it requires a period of three to four years of fermentation. The production volume is very limited, even if the price is only a few of that of ordinary soy sauce. The most expensive one can even sell for 300 per catty, but it is still in short supply. It is basically only sold in one of its eight specialty stores. It is hard to find online or in other supermarkets, not to mention other places, even in the urban areas of Luzhou. It’s hard to buy. In addition to soy sauce, Yongxingcheng also has other products such as handmade vinegar, but their best product is still soy sauce, and with this traditional soy sauce brewing process, Yongxingcheng has been included in the intangible cultural heritage of Sichuan Province. A bottle of intangible cultural heritage soy sauce, don’t you want to try it?

Nanxun is located in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. It is a famous cultural town with a history of nearly 800 towns. It is also the first national 5A tourist attraction in Huzhou. In 2014, the ancient town of Nanxun was included in the World Heritage List as part of the Grand Canal of China, becoming the first Jiangnan ancient town to be selected as a world cultural heritage. Although it is the same as the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Nanxun is different from Wuzhen and Xitang, which are home to Zhenshui people. The ancient town of Nanxun, known as the “Cultural State”, adheres to the concept of “inclusive of all rivers and diversified strengths”. With local characteristics, it is the only ancient town in my country with a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

As the saying goes: It is better to take a walk around Nanxun to travel all over the Jiangnan ninety-nine. Since being a member of the well-known Jiangnan ancient town at home and abroad, presumably the unique water town style of Jiangnan must also be vividly expressed. In Nanxun, whether you rent a small boat and walk along the canal, or walk along the alleys and along the ancient bluestone road at will, there are always endless pink walls and black tiles, smoke bridges and painted willows, and roads. The poetic lingering, dreamlike and illusion, if people are not paying attention, they will step into a dream like apricot blossoms and misty rain. Just as Dong Jun in the Qing Dynasty wrote in “Fanyue Dengxun Dong Fenshui Pavilion”: “Why go to Dongying in Penglai, and stay in front of the Jie Pavilion in Sanse Bay.”

Nanxun is not as ostentatious as Wuzhen, nor has it entered the world like Xitang. It is low-key and reserved, silently waiting for that strong cultural accumulation. Here is the famous tribute lake silk that is well-known in the world and best-selling overseas, as well as the “four elephants, eight cows and seventy-two golden dogs” that benefited from the rise of business development. Even though the deceased is gone, the glorious heritage still shocked the world. If you don’t believe it, if you walk along the Nanxun Scenic Area, you will truly understand the meaning of “Fuji Nanxun”. The ancient town scenic spot covers an area of ​​nearly 35 square kilometers, and is divided into three major travel areas according to the situation. The scenic area has formed a block of small bridges and flowing water houses and large mansions and gardens. The biggest attraction of almost every area is from the original Nanxun Private houses and gardens built by wealthy businessmen and celebrities are magnificent ancient buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles. It is for this reason that Nanxun is different from other ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiaolianzhuang, also known as “Liuyuan”, the ace attraction in the ancient town of Nanxun, is the private garden of Liu Yong, the richest man in Nanxun in the Qing Dynasty. Xiaolianzhuang combines the ancient charm of Jiangnan with Western style, and the design is exquisite and there is no lack of the beauty of winding paths. In midsummer, the beautiful scenery of “Lotus Leaf He Tian Tian” sets off the pavilions by the pool, like the lotus villa built by the painter Zhao Meng in the late Yuan Dynasty. Built in 1905, Liu’s Ladder, commonly known as the “Red House”, is tall and magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. It is the residence of Liu Yong’s third son, Liu An. The Roman-style building and the gorgeous Rococo style voucher roof are enough to reflect The characteristics of the times when the westerly wind was moving to the east. The former residence of Zhang Shiming, known as “the first residence in the south of the Yangtze River”, is a classic building with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The European-style and western red brick buildings are decorated with stained glass and other decorations, which are exquisite, delicate and magnificent. In contrast, the former residence of Zhang Jingjiang, which has not incorporated western architectural elements, is very unique. Its simple and quiet style and simple and atmospheric decoration are all unique and should not be missed.

Anqing, also known as “Yicheng”, means “safe and auspicious celebration” and “Yicheng here”. It is located in the southwest of Anhui Province and is close to the Yangtze River. Since Anqing City was built in 1217, it has more than 800 years of history. Anqing has a profound historical and cultural heritage. As early as the Paleolithic period, there were traces of human activities. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Anqing belonged to the ancient Anhui state, and today the abbreviation “Wan” of Anhui Province comes from this.

Anqing is located at the junction of the three provinces of Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangxi. It is surrounded by mountains and borders the Huaihe River. It has a very advantageous geographical location. The exchanges between ports have become more frequent and have become an important commodity distribution center in southwest Anhui. Anqing Port is not only one of the top ten ports on the Yangtze River trunk line, but also has the reputation of “a thousand-year ferry port for a century”. In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Anqing became the capital of Anhui Province, and it took more than one hundred years to do it. As one of the origins of the Westernization Movement and one of the earliest cities in China that accepted modern civilization, Anqing was the leader of urban economy in the Yangtze River valley in China at that time. It was also called the “Five Tigers of the Yangtze River” along with Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Chongqing. Very high social status.

Anqing is a well-known excellent tourist city in China, with beautiful natural beauty, as well as dazzling culture and humanities. Tianzhu Mountain, once one of the “Five Sacred Mountains”, has Cuiwei mountainous terrain, and its peaks stand tall. It has a history of “Ancient Nanyue” for nearly 700 years and is known as “the first mountain in Jianghuai”. There are many wonders, such as Alchemy Lake, Feilai Stone, and Duxian Bridge. The scenery is picturesque in four seasons and the scenery is amazing. It is called the “Three Famous Mountains in Anhui” along with Mount Huangshan and Mount Jiuhua. The beautiful scenery and outstanding people of the giant rock mountain are named after the unique geological landscape of giant rocks formed by the volcanic movement hundreds of millions of years ago. There is not only a fresh and excellent ecological environment, beautiful and colorful landscapes, but also countless cultural monuments for nostalgia. The culture of Huangmei Opera and the myth of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl attract many tourists from home and abroad.

As the only national historical and cultural city approved by the State Council, Anqing is full of historic sites and numerous sites. Qiaolou, first built in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368), stands majestically on the top of Anqing. It used to be the watchtower in front of the Anqing Government Office, and it is a well-deserved landmark of the founding of Anhui Province. Linghu Park, built around Linghu Lake, is known for its “Linghe Landscape” and “Linghu Night and Moon” landscape. The China Huangmei Opera Museum next to the park is an excellent place for people to learn about the “land of drama”. The Zhenfeng Pagoda of Yingjiang Temple in the urban area, and the shadow of the Pagoda on the Hengjiang River, is known as “the first tower of the Yangtze River in thousands of miles”, and is known as “don’t talk about the tower after Anqing. There are also famous temples and ancient temples in the Huating Lake scenic area, known as the “Birthplace of Zen Buddhism in China”, and the Five Thousand-Year Cultural Expo Garden, which inherits the concept of protection, inheritance, and development of Chinese folk culture and art, and so on.

Anqing is known as a “Cultural State”, “Hometown of Drama”, and “Sacred Land of Zen”. The interaction of multiple cultures has formed a unique regional culture and left countless historical and cultural relics. This is the hometown of the “Tongcheng School” who led the Chinese literary world for more than two hundred years. Famous stories such as “Peacock Flying Southeast”, “Three Kingdoms and Two Joes”, “One Step Without Lei Chi”, and “Liu Chi Alley” have occurred. It is also a new culture. The hometown of outstanding figures such as movement pioneer Chen Duxiu, Buddhist leader Zhao Puchu, “two bombs father” Deng Jiaxian, and popular novel master Zhang Henshui. In addition, there are the euphemistic and refreshing Huangmei Opera, the Huiban Peking Opera with singing and singing, and the famous specialties since ancient times, all of which are extremely eye-catching in Anqing.

That is not only the central task set by the Party and State but also the aspiration of the people, including cultural and human issues.

In his speech, the new Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has outlined 5 specific objectives. In which, human cultural resources (5th goal) is stated: “Fifthly, to build mechanisms, policies and conditions to promote cultural values ​​and Vietnamese people to become resources, an important driving force in socio-economic development; having effective solutions to improve the quality of health care, education and training; attaching importance to developing high-quality resources, attracting and appreciating talents … ” (According to Labor Newspaper).

In his life, President Ho Chi Minh once said: “The people of our country have an extraordinary will because of their self-esteem to live as a human being, not to be a slave. This is also true of our country’s intellectuals. I am passionate about the national culture … Perhaps to be on top of our efforts to develop culture … The current flourishing culture is a condition for our people to progress “(Ho Chi Minh Minh: Complete Works, National Political Publishing House, H, 2011, p. 13, p. 190).

In Uncle Ho’s conception, culture is both the tradition, the identity, the desire for national independence and the foundation of development progress. Throughout the nation’s history, we have waged justified wars to liberate the nation, gain territorial integrity, protect people’s lives, protect the culture built by our father. he.

The government has many policies to support traditional culture becoming a cultural product.

Entering the doi moi period, the reform and social and economic reform policies of the Party and State are also based on the spirit of democracy and humanity, as indicated by the Party’s Resolution of the XIII Congress: “Arouse; adopt specific policies to develop ethnic minority culture; well implement social policies, ensure social security, human security, create strong changes in development management. social progress, social justice, improving the quality of life and the happiness index of Vietnamese people “(According to VOV.vn).

As we all know, many armed conflicts in the world stemmed from causes related to history, ethnicity, ethics, religious traditions … indicating an unsustainable development. Therefore, in the danger of destroying moral values, infringing upon national pride among communities, conflicts have arisen.

American political and strategic researcher, Samuel Phillips Huntington (he was the President of the American Political Science Association) said: “The end of the cold war onwards will no longer be an ideology, nor a The economic cause is the most important source separating the nations, the nations will be cultural conflicts “(according to the Communist Review).

Investing in culture and people not only contributes to creating political and social stability, but also this field itself contributes significantly to the economic and social development. As a specific example, the cultural industries in the UK generate an income of about 112.5 billion pounds / year, contributing 5% of GDP, accounting for 10-15% of the market share of the world cultural industry. In Vietnam, although still new, the cultural industry has been identified with a strategic vision.

In the Political report of the Central Executive Committee at the XII Congress of the Party clearly stated the task: “Developing the cultural industry goes hand in hand with building and perfecting the market for cultural products and services” (according to Communist Party of Vietnam Document of the XII National Congress of Delegates, Party Central Office, 2016, p. 130). According to incomplete statistics, in 2015, Vietnam’s cultural industries contributed about 8,039 billion USD, accounting for nearly 2.68% of GDP of the country (according to the Journal of Propaganda).

Traditional cultural values ​​need to be preserved and refined as a fulcrum for contemporary culture.

From the theoretical bases and actual numbers mentioned above, we can identify cultural resources in the following points:

1. If cultural resources are promoted well, they will contribute to social activities with the spirit of self-awareness. Looking at activities such as: rice ATM, donating masks on the street or donating food to help people in flooded areas … we wonder where all of that comes from? Behind compassion must be a cultural foundation from tradition, from consensus through wars; the creative spirit in the renovation period … It is the humanistic aesthetic values ​​of history, literature and art, from journalism reports … that have contributed to forming sympathy, respectful sharing in each human. “The sense of the people” is both a beauty and a resource that is strongly promoted against difficulties and challenges …

2. Cultural resources are not only resilient power, helping to purify the soul but also contribute to political stability. The spiritual values ​​such as patriotism, national solidarity, independence and self-control … are also inherited beauty, promoting cultural and historical values. This becomes a special “resistance”, a power to protect Vietnamese thoughts and feelings against the intrigues of hostile forces … On the non-traditional security front such as gas change. climate, pollution, environmental degradation, water depletion, use of ecological weapons, terrorism, epidemics, free migration, transnational crime, high-tech crime … The good chemistry hidden in the personality will create solidarity, solidarity, overcoming and overcoming to help the society stabilize and develop.

3. It is thought that science and technology can help increase labor productivity, reduce labor force, reduce production costs, and bring big profits; Technology development can be beneficial to us, reducing our troublesome consequences. However, all those benefits are only to help people have material abundance, energy, time to live with quality, responsibly with the country, with their homeland, to themselves …

In other words, to live more culturally because culture is the human quality of life, all developments are aimed at improving that quality of life: “The ultimate goal of sustainable development, that is Human development, economic growth is also to meet the increasing material and spiritual needs of individuals as well as the whole community.In this sense, cultural development is the goal of growth. economic growth, at the same time is also a pillar of sustainable development “(according to Prof. Ngo Thang Loi, Communist Review).

Culture is the driving force and the resource; Culture is an industry that generates revenue but also a core value of the nation and the nation. Therefore, culture is both a career that needs to be continuously fostered and tectonic, but it also needs to become a habit, a permanent consciousness in each person’s thoughts. To become a powerful country with a vibrant culture, first of all, it is necessary to start with the quality cultural lifestyle of each person.

Civilized living, compassionate living, scientific knowledge, spreading good things to the community are a way of contributing a small part of themselves to the common heritage of the nation, to cultural and spiritual assets. of the country. Affordable, that is how each citizen elevates his or her life with an available resource, with the most powerful and drastic force.

In order to better let visitors understand Wencheng and walk into Liu Bowen’s hometown, they are combined into one. The Liuji Temple and Baizhang T Waterfall Scenic Area are combined into one scenic area. It is the scenic spot of Liu Bowen’s hometown we know now.

We are currently checking in the Liu Bowen’s Hometown Scenic Spot in Wencheng County, Zhejiang Province, a national ecological county. Its total area is 4.81 square kilometers. It is composed of two core scenic spots, Liuji Temple and Baizhang T. It is not only a beautiful natural ecological environment, but also a historical and cultural heritage. deep. When the two core scenic spots were not merged together, Liuji Temple and Baizhang T were already well-known in their respective fields at home and abroad; after merging, the cultural landscape and the natural landscape complement each other, and you can feel the majesty of “the highest waterfall in China”. With a magnificent vibe, he can deeply understand the past and present of Liu Bowen, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty.

Also officially because 1+1>2, Liu Ji Temple and Baizhang T merged together to become Liu Bowen’s hometown scenic spot. The natural and cultural landscapes here have reached their maximum.
