Su Ling's Time Travel

Speaking of this, we must mention the two "pearls" meticulously crafted by the government—the cultural tourism economy and the food economy. Like the brightest stars in the night sky, they illuminate this once-obscure land, guiding the region towards a new path of balanced development. The lazy sunlight bathes this vibrant land, gilding the under-construction Guxiang Street with a golden hue.

Gu Xiang Street is like a classical beauty who has been asleep for a thousand years, now slowly opening her eyes, ready to amaze the world. Look at the architectural style, traditional yet charming, as if it has stepped out of an ancient painting, breathtakingly beautiful.

Construction worker Brother Li stood atop the high scaffolding, the bricks in his hands seeming to come alive as he laid them out, one by one, to outline the ancient Xiang Street. "Hey, look at this! Once it's finished, I guarantee it'll be breathtakingly beautiful!" Brother Li exclaimed proudly, his eyes gleaming. "Look at the upturned eaves, look at the blue bricks and gray tiles—it's like bringing an ancient landscape painting to life. When it's finished, we'll be the creators of this classical beauty, and walking down the street will make us feel a sense of historical pride!"

"Wow, master craftsman, this is like magic! Look at the paper cutting in my hand, it's like a lifelike, vibrant peony, smiling at me!" The little girl held up her carefully crafted paper cutting, her eyes shining like stars, her surprise overflowing. Every line on her paper cutting was smooth and natural, the petals layered upon each other, as if truly swaying gently in a breeze.

“Haha, little one, you’re absolutely right! Every cut in this paper-cutting technique has its own secrets, as if it breathes life into the paper, giving it its own soul.” The folk artist responded with a smile, his face radiating kindness and pride. He gently stroked the little girl’s head, as if conveying an invisible force.

Today, the optimization of traditional cultural tourism routes is like opening a door to a mysterious world for tourists, bringing them unprecedented and fresh experiences. On a quaint street, tourists are immersed in the joyous atmosphere of traditional festival celebrations. Red lanterns hang high, colorful ribbons flutter in the wind, and the air is filled with the unique festive spirit.

"This traditional festival celebration is absolutely amazing! I feel like I've traveled back in time to that ancient era, experiencing the charm of traditional culture up close before." A tourist excitedly grabbed his companion's hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He pointed to the dragon and lion dance troupe performing in the distance, too excited to speak.

"Absolutely! Look at that dragon dance team, it's like a lifelike, colorful giant dragon, tumbling and leaping on the street, with magnificent momentum; and the lion dance, majestic and lifelike, full of vitality." The companion was also deeply attracted by the scene before him, praising it repeatedly.

In a traditional handicraft workshop, tourists are enthusiastically trying their hand at making pottery. They carefully knead and shape the clay, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the soil.

"Wow, pottery making is really difficult, but it's so much fun! It's like chatting with the clay, gradually incorporating your ideas, and watching it slowly take shape. The sense of accomplishment is incredible!" a tourist said with a laugh as he vigorously kneaded the clay. His face was covered in mud, but he didn't seem to care at all; instead, he seemed even happier.

“Yes, yes, it’s amazing to do it yourself! It gives us a deeper understanding and appreciation of traditional culture. It’s much more interesting than just looking at an exhibition; it feels more real and intimate.” Another visitor chimed in, holding the prototype of his pottery that he had just made, a satisfied smile on his face.

The Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritor Support Fund is like a warm spring breeze, blowing across this ancient land. In the studio of an intangible cultural heritage inheritor, Master Zhang and his apprentices are enthusiastically discussing plans for online learning activities.

"Thanks to the support fund, we were able to build such a good studio and carry out more training activities. These online training activities are like an invisible bridge, spreading our skills to thousands of households, allowing more people to understand, like, and pass them on," Master Zhang said with emotion, his eyes shining with hope.

"Master, I have a great idea! We can show everyone the production process through live streaming, and then interact with the audience and answer their questions. This will not only attract more attention, but also allow them to understand our skills more intuitively." A young apprentice suddenly had a flash of inspiration and excitedly offered his suggestion.

"Hey, that's a great idea! It's like we've opened a window into the online world, allowing everyone to see our heritage and feel the charm of traditional culture." Master Zhang nodded with a smile, his eyes full of praise and anticipation.
