Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

There were several monks gathered in the crowd, seemingly performing. One monk was doing boxing while the others were standing by and watching.

Yu Ru looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly felt that everything seemed familiar. She immediately took out her phone and looked through the photos and videos in the album. After a while, she found a video of monks performing for money, but there were not many monks in this video, only one, while there were four or five in the video.

She enlarged the video, stared carefully at the monk's face in the phone, and found a familiar place. It turned out that she had seen Yuan Juren before. No wonder she felt a little familiar when she saw Yuan Juren here, as if she had seen him somewhere.

They met in Huacheng at that time, and now they are out of the province and meet again by coincidence. When Yu Ru thought of this, she couldn't help but start to think of some conspiracy theories in her mind and had no intention of paying attention to the excitement in front of her.

What a coincidence! Why can I see it twice at once? This is an extremely low probability event.

"Baby, that's amazing! That master can even do a backflip." Ming Shisui didn't have any other thoughts and was simply enjoying the performance.

She was so excited when she saw the monk do a backflip.

Yu Ru turned to look at her, smiled and nodded, indicating that she agreed, but in her heart she was thinking about when to leave here and get away from the monk she met again and again.

After watching the first monk's performance, the two of them stopped watching because they saw an equally interesting performance - Sichuan Opera face-changing, which was more lively and had more people gathered.

Before they got close, they could faintly hear the sounds of small drums, small gongs, suonas, cymbals and other instruments commonly used in Sichuan opera. It was so lively that they automatically moved there.

They moved just in time, and as soon as they got close to the place, they encountered a fire-breathing show.

"Wow! That's so cool, baby." Ming Shisui stared straight ahead.

The excitement made her forget to look at the road, and Yu Ru quickly held her hand.

……

The two stayed in the city for five more days, visited its famous attractions and museums, and then set off back to Hwaseong.

They stayed outside the province for too long, so Ming Shi returned to Huacheng and had to go to England within a few days. Before that, she needed to go back to her parents' home to visit them.

Today is the day she will go back to Han Mei and Ming Guanghui. She will take the high-speed train and Yu Ru will send her to the station.

"Baby, you go back first. I'll wait here. Don't worry." Ming Shisui held Yu Ru's hand reluctantly, tears sparkling in his eyes.

Yu Ru nodded and walked over to give her a hug.

As soon as Ming Shisui was hugged, she burst into tears. She touched the silver Bagua hat with the inscription "Longevity and Wealth" made by Yu Ru on her head and said with a choked voice, "Baby...baby, the hat, the hat protects me."

Yu Ru patted her on the back a few times in response.

After the two parted, Ming Shisui waited alone in the waiting hall, looking at his phone to pass the time.

At this time, Wei Jiangshan sent her a message: Teacher Ming, I am Wei Xingzhi, have you left?

I will reply to it tomorrow: I haven’t sent it yet, Xiaozhi, it will take a long time before it is sent.

Wei Jiangshan: Teacher Ming, where are you now? I’ll come to see you and see you off.

Ming Shisui: No need, Xiaozhi, I'm leaving soon, and your home is quite far from here, so don't come. I'll play with you next time I come back.

Wei Jiangshan: Teacher Ming, my uncle and I are already at the station.

After this sentence, a picture was attached, which was a photo of a signpost somewhere here.

After seeing this message, Ming Shisui immediately stood up and looked around. She didn't see Wei Xingzhi and Wei Jiangshan there, so she dragged her suitcase to find the location of the sign in the picture.

After a while, she saw Wei Jiangshan and Wei Xingzhi.

When she approached, Wei Xingzhi noticed her at a glance and hurried towards her.

"Teacher Ming!"

Wei Xingzhi stood in front of her, panting. "Ms. Ming, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were leaving? If I had known this would happen, I would have come to play with you earlier."

"Xiaozhi..." Ming Shisui was a little embarrassed, "You are so busy studying, how can I disturb you?"

"How did you disturb me? I can't study all the time. If I play today, it will be the same if I don't play and just study tomorrow."

Wei Jiangshan arrived a little later than Wei Xingzhi. When he came over, Wei Xingzhi pulled his sleeve and said, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, tell Teacher Ming quickly. She will be leaving soon."

Wei Jiangshan looked down at him, his mouth slightly open, wanting him to stop talking nonsense, but he felt bad, so he held it back. He turned to look at Ming Shisui and asked, "Teacher Ming, I heard from Wei Xingzhi that you went back to your parents' home first and then went directly to England, is that right?"

Ming Shisui nodded, "Yes, Uncle Xiaozhi, it may take a long time before I can come back."

Wei Jiangshan stared at her for a few seconds, then turned his eyes away, not looking directly at her, "Teacher Ming, be careful when you are abroad. If you need help, you can come to me. You helped Wei Xingzhi before, so it is only right that I help you."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xiaozhi." Ming Shisui grinned.

As for Yu Ru, after sending Ming Shisui off, she immediately drove to Maicheng.

Lian Shikan, her semi-acquaintance who sells clothes, has now become an acquaintance.

She chatted with her yesterday and invited her to meet in Maicheng, saying that she had something important to announce and that the store had received a new batch of goods and she could go and pick some.

She thought that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and had only chatted online like netizens, so she decided to go find her today.

After Lian Shikan knew the time Yu Ru would come, he made a reservation at the restaurant early and waited for her to come for dinner.

Now, she was waiting for Yu Ru in the restaurant.

While waiting, she was checking various files in her mobile phone and replying to various work messages. She squeezed out time for dinner this time. She had been very busy these days, but she could not hold back any more news, so she asked Yu Ru to come out.

The messages in the phone dazzled her, and she only realized Yu Ru was here when she came in front of her.

"Yu Ru, you're finally here. Oh, you're dressed so uniquely, like someone in an ancient painting." Lian Shikan put down his phone and looked at Yu Ru. "Please sit down. It's getting late. Let's order food first."

Yu Ru smiled and nodded.

It was still quite cold, so she wore the clothes she made herself from the Ming Dynasty today, which were warmer. She wore a sweater inside, a red short jacket with a stand-up collar outside, a short horse-faced skirt in Taishi blue around her waist, long johns under the skirt, knee-length pants to cover her calves, and butterfly shoes with thousand-layer soles that Yunjixing gave her.

"Here, I bought a set meal. Please pick the dishes." Lian Shikan handed the phone forward. "I can have any of these dishes. Just pick the ones you like."

Yu Ru took the phone and nodded.

When she ordered the dishes, Lian Shikan stared at her face. As she looked at it, she suddenly smiled, "Yu Ru, how come you are whiter and more tender? You are so beautiful. What nourished you?"

Hearing this, Yu Ru raised her head and smiled at her, shook her head, then lowered her head to continue ordering food.

Lian Shikan patted his face and said in distress: "Yu Ru, what is your secret to beauty? I also want to be beautiful. I have become much uglier recently, and those skin care products don't work well."

Yu Ru looked up at her again, smiled at her, and then lowered her head to continue choosing dishes. After choosing the dishes and returning the phone to Lian Shikan, she took out her own phone and typed on it to answer the question Lian Shikan had just asked.

She wrote: The recipe I gave you last time is the secret. Just follow it and stick to it.

"Forget it, I'll just stay ugly." Lian Shikan shook his head. "It's so troublesome. Well, I'll go get a beauty treatment and a facial. It saves time and effort."

Yu Ru nodded and typed on her phone: Go to bed early and get up early, play less with your phone, drink more water, think less, and smile more, and you can become beautiful.

"I can't do any of what you said, especially laughing more. I can get angry eight hundred times a day and encounter weird things every day." Lian Shikan smiled helplessly.

She waved her hand and then continued, "Let's not talk about beauty anymore. I have a bigger problem to tell you."

Yu Ru nodded, looked at her, and waited for the next words.

She didn't say anything, but picked up her phone and clicked on a photo in the album, then put the phone in front of her, "Take a look, what does this man look like? What kind of person do you think he is at first glance?"

………………I am the dividing line………………

An introduction to Sichuan Opera that appears in the article.

Sichuan Opera, commonly known as Sichuan Opera, was called Shu Opera in ancient times.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, five vocal arts types, namely Kunqu, Gaoqiang, Huqinqiang (Pihuang), Danxi and Sichuan folk lantern opera, flowed into Sichuan from other provinces. They gradually merged with the Sichuan language and folk music, slowly forming a common style over time. In the late Qing Dynasty, they were collectively called "Sichuan Opera", and later renamed "Sichuan Opera".

There are more than twenty kinds of musical instruments used in this dance. The most commonly used ones can be simplified as the small drum, hall drum, big gong, small gong (which also serves as a hinge), and large cymbals, which are collectively called the five parties. Together with string instruments and suona, they make a total of six parties, which are conducted by the small drum.

Its specialties include more than just the face-changing that we see every day, including ceiling lights and fire breathing...

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Shu Opera had a great influence, and there was a saying that "Shu Opera is the best in the world". Chengdu in the Tang Dynasty became the national drama center. The former and latter Shu Kingdoms during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the "Twenty-four Musical Instruments" in Chengdu Yongling were also the continuation of the Tang Dynasty Shu Opera.

The exact origin time of Sichuan Opera is currently unknown and there are still many ambiguities, but there is a consensus that it matured in the Qing Dynasty.

Under the pretext of cultural exchange, the Koreans sent people to come here to harass our Sichuan Opera masters and steal the core secrets of our Sichuan Opera face-changing. After learning it, they brought the Sichuan Opera face-changing back to their country, modified the masks, slightly changed the music, and then changed the name to become their own masked dance.

At present, their masked dance has been successfully listed as a world heritage.

They insist that masked dance has nothing to do with my country and is their own Korean culture, which can be traced back to ancient Korea more than a thousand years ago. In fact, their masked dance is not only stolen from our Sichuan Opera face-changing, but also from our lion dance and Nuo Opera. Multiple Chinese cultures are mixed together to become their masked dance.

my country has also produced many excellent and brilliant cultures by integrating foreign civilizations. There is nothing wrong with cultural exchange. Sometimes the collision of two different things can produce wonderful things. But the premise of exchange is mutual recognition and respect. When we exchange culture with others, we bring our own things. We also acknowledge the origin of everything and seek truth from facts. It is not like the Koreans who think that learning something is the origin.

Through constant cultural plagiarism, starting from scratch, Xiao Paocai has successfully applied for world heritage status for many controversial cultural projects. The number of their intangible cultural heritages has surpassed half of that of China, which is the same as that of Japan, and they are tied for third place in the world in terms of the number of intangible cultural heritages.

The sticks were big as horse urine bubbles. They stole our Zigong lanterns for Lantern Festival and our Dragon Boat Festival. They all applied for world heritage status successfully and made up their origin history. The Japanese were not much better. They directly arranged spies to steal secrets and take them back for transformation.

It is sad that many places and cultural institutions here have a weak awareness of cultural protection, or are even numb and indifferent.
