Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation
Chapter 53 Daphne's Past (Horse-Faced Skirt)
After hearing Daphne's words, my excitement gradually calmed down, but I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you say you won't work at the nursery anymore? Where are you going? Don't you want to care about the children at the nursery, Lotta, and me?"
Seeing me asking so anxiously, Daphne quickly patted my back and comforted me, "Sui Sui, don't worry. It's not that I don't want you anymore, but... I may not be able to accompany you like before." Hearing this, tears instantly welled up in my eyes and my voice began to choke: "Then where are you going? We can't live without you!"
Daphne looked at me gently and said slowly, "Sui Sui, listen to me. Actually, I was a female soldier before. I was injured in a fierce battle and had to leave the battlefield. Later, I met my husband and gave birth to a son and a daughter with him. However, my old head injury has recently started to flare up again. Although it has not caused any obvious impact yet, it may have an adverse effect on my mental strength in the future, and even cause me to do some bad things. The doctor suggested that I take a break for a while and concentrate on receiving treatment. However, I really can't let go of these lovely children, so I dare not leave. But during this time, I have seen that the tacit understanding and cooperation between you and Lotta are very good, which makes me feel very relieved. Therefore, I think maybe it's time to leave the kindergarten temporarily." Daphne's tone was soft and firm, as if she was trying to restrain her inner reluctance.
I held her hand tightly, my eyes full of worry and concern, and asked softly, "Then you will definitely get better, right?"
Daphne smiled faintly, her face revealing a strong and confident expression. She nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, I will work hard to overcome the disease. And even if I can't stay here, the kindergarten will continue to operate as usual. I have no doubt that you and the other hardworking teachers will be able to take good care of every lovely child.
Under your meticulous care and dedicated management, the Yuyouyuan WeChat Official Account is gradually getting on track and growing stronger. It now boasts over 500,000 followers! This is a delightful achievement and the perfect reward for your hard work. I firmly believe that with time, Yuyouyuan will achieve even greater success, providing children with high-quality early childhood education services. I hope that Yuyouyuan will continue to thrive in the years ahead, becoming a warm cradle for children's happy growth and nurturing more outstanding future generations for society!
I gazed into her unwavering gaze, and a warm feeling welled up inside me, along with a sense of relief. I replied firmly, "Yes, we will definitely do our best. Please rest assured and receive your treatment. We look forward to your speedy recovery."
Daphne hugged me gently, her gratitude overflowing with words. "Thank you, Sui Sui. I will miss you all deeply. But don't worry, I'm not leaving right away. I'll wait until the competition for our little ones in the nursery is successfully concluded."
Just then, a small figure ran over and threw herself into Daphne's arms. "Headmistress, where are you going? I don't want you to leave..." It turned out that Carl had overheard our conversation. Daphne picked up Carl and kissed him on the cheek. "Baby, Headmistress won't go far. I'll be back soon. You have to listen to Teacher Sui Sui and Teacher Lotta."
"Karl, where are you?" Lotta shouted loudly outside the door, her voice revealing a hint of anxiety and worry. As she shouted, she looked around, trying to find Karl.
"Carl, why are you so naughty? You ran out without telling Teacher Lotta. This is not what a good boy should do!" Lotta said to himself, with a hint of blame in his tone, but more of concern.
She knew full well that Carl was actually a very bright child, but his introverted and timid personality overshadowed his other shining qualities. He could also be quite impulsive at times, acting without regard for the consequences. Take what happened today, for example. After waking from his nap, he saw the classroom door open and, without a second thought, ran out. Then, upon hearing what Daphne had said, he opened the door and walked in without a second thought.
It seems that follow-up safety education must be put on the agenda as soon as possible! After Lotta successfully took Carl away, Daphne immediately held my hands tightly and said seriously: "Sui Sui, you are actually clear about this matter. After all, my daughter is a student in the fashion design department. This time, thanks to the pictures and manuscripts you provided, it really played a very big and important role for their graduation design! However, if you want to make their designs more profound and meaningful, they still need sufficient cultural background to support them. So, I hope you can give them some knowledge about horse-faced skirts."
The horse-faced skirt, a mysterious and captivating garment, originates from the ancient female dress style of Country Z on the blue planet. It also bears the poetic name, "horse-faced pleated skirt." The horse-faced skirt was a staple skirt style worn by women in ancient Country Z. Its distinctive feature is its four overlapping sashes, front and back. The sides of this skirt are typically pleated, and the waistband is often made of white cloth, symbolizing a lifelong union, and is usually secured with a rope or knot.
The history of the horse-faced skirt can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. It was then called the "Xuanqun." This skirt was designed to facilitate women riding donkeys. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the "Xuanqun" gradually evolved into the horse-faced skirt shown in the picture I showed you. During the Ming Dynasty, the horse-faced skirt was fully finalized and became the standard style of women's clothing. Both royal family members and ordinary people liked to wear horse-faced skirts. In the Qing Dynasty, the horse-faced skirt further developed on the basis of the Ming Dynasty, forming a unique decorative style and structural characteristics. It became the daily wear of Han women in the Qing Dynasty and also the iconic attire of Qing women. This unique name seems to tell a piece of history, bringing people back to that legendary past.
Imagine, in the distant past, ancient women clad in horse-faced skirts, gracefully strolling through the streets and alleys. The hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind, resembling a dancing fairy, evoking a dreamlike quality. The horse-faced skirt's design is exquisite and unique, its distinctive cut and pleats evoking the agility and energy of a galloping horse. Perhaps this is why this skirt earned its name! Each fold, like a trace of time, records the details of the lives and emotional stories of these ancient women.
A deeper dive into the historical context of the horse-faced skirt reveals that it is more than just a simple garment; it is a treasure trove rich in cultural connotations. It reflects the aesthetic values, etiquette, and pursuit of feminine beauty of the time. The horse-faced skirt has witnessed the passage of time, serving as a bridge between past and present. Whether at imperial banquets or folk celebrations, the horse-faced skirt was a crucial way for women to showcase their charm and elegance.
Today, despite the passage of time, the horse-faced skirt continues to captivate audiences with its unique charm. In 21st-century Country Z, it has become a source of inspiration for the fashion world, with designers incorporating traditional elements into modern designs, creating pieces that combine classic beauty with contemporary trends. The horse-faced skirt reminds us of the importance of cherishing and preserving our historical heritage. More than just a piece of clothing, it embodies the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese nation. By understanding and appreciating the horse-faced skirt, we can better appreciate the profoundness of ancient Chinese culture and draw inspiration and strength from it. I concentrated, channeling my consciousness into my phone, searching for information on the origins and history of the horse-faced skirt. In this process, I felt as if I were immersed in a vast ocean of knowledge, constantly searching for information on the horse-faced skirt.
After much effort, I finally found a wealth of detailed information, which I then passed on to Daphne, hoping that she would gain a deeper understanding of this traditional dress.
I explained to Daphne in detail the origin and development of the horse-faced skirt, including the roles it played in different historical periods and its unique design style and characteristics. I also mentioned some interesting stories and legends, allowing her to appreciate the cultural heritage and charm behind the horse-faced skirt.
Seeing Daphne immersed in it and showing great interest, I felt very satisfied - because as a Z countryman, one of my biggest wishes is to help others better understand and appreciate the traditional culture of Z country!
