Chapter 785: There is an Expert
Step into the Xiling Gate, and formally enter the courtyard of the Praying Valley Altar from under the five big red hydrangeas hanging above your head, which represent happiness, wealth, longevity and happiness. .
The scene here is unexpected.
What’s even more shocking than the outside is that the place is overflowing with colorful things, and the decoration color instantly changes from red to yellow.
The bright yellow shed paint actually covers a full circle along the base of the interior wall.
Although the style is far inferior to that of the Huating outside the back wall of Huangqian Hall, the Huating that provides free tea to tourists is exquisite. There are no five spines and six beasts, and no Xumizuo.
These "flowers" used for decoration are just the railings on the roof of the shed, the patio for lighting on the roof, the corner clouds at the four corners, the flower walls to decorate the walls, and There are just shed pillars wrapped in bright yellow cloth.
But the advantage lies in its large scale, unified format, and eye-catching colors.
In this exclusive place for the emperor to worship heaven, surrounded by the altar of praying for good harvests, the stars and the moon set off the majestic praying for good harvest hall, which can especially enhance the luxurious atmosphere of the imperial palace.
So as soon as they enter this courtyard, the people in the capital will have an illusion on the spot, as if they have returned to a hundred years ago.
Intuitively, I felt the pomp and atmosphere like a ceremony to worship the heaven.
Foreigners were even more shocked.
This is yellow, this is gorgeous, it is a beautiful and luxurious color that they can't even dream of.
If it weren’t for these sheds, there would still be a dazzling array of countless products.
I am afraid that many foreigners will mistakenly think that this is an authentic restoration of the past scene of emperors offering sacrifices to heaven.
But even so, for a while, there was a constant "click-click" sound.
Nearly all the foreigners who wanted to bring their cameras raised their cameras. They were shooting so hard that they were not afraid of wasting film.
The excitement was so high that they seemed a little unfamiliar with the world.
Of course, the three people from the Temple of Earth did not stop and raised their cameras to take pictures.
But what is different from foreigners is that these three people did not communicate with each other during the photo taking process, and were quite calm and stable.
If the two leaders hadn't looked so gloomy and were being beaten by the cold wind, they would have been more graceful.
After taking photos, many people went directly to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and some people went to the East and West Side Halls.
The three people from Ditan, along with others, chose to look at the products in these sheds.
You don’t know it by looking at it, but you are shocked when you see it. The goods here are actually much higher quality than those sold outside.
What are they here?
They are all more delicate and delicate things.
There are palace lanterns, velvet birds, silk people, maned men, maned lions, hairy monkeys, utensils, jades, burnt porcelain, antique porcelain, cloisonne, snuff bottles, rhinoceros horn cups, coral trees, agate flowers, Jade ornaments, gem bonsai, ivory carvings, carved lacquer products, gold lacquer inlays, filigree inlays, helmet costumes, wood crafts, metalworking art...
In addition, there are countless painting studios and studios. It is filled with various calligraphy and paintings.
In terms of form, there are large and small vertical scrolls, squares, various screen strips, various couplets, various inserts placed on the banners, and various fans.
In terms of content, there are various types of landscapes - green hills, freehand landscapes, and light ink landscapes.
The flowers include meticulous coloring, fine line drawing, boneless freehand brushwork, some with grass and insects, and some without grass and insects.
There are also meticulous ladies and meticulous characters.
In calligraphy, there are all kinds of Kai Cao, Li Zhuan, Wei Stele and Zhang Cao.
When it comes to fame, from ancient times to the present, there is no famous painter, and most of them are famous painters.
The meticulous lady is either Tang Yin or Qiu Shizhou.
The freehand flowers are either Bada Shanren or Baishi Old Man.
Other ink marks by Zheng Banqiao, Wu Zizhen, and Prince Cheng are even more abundant, which can be said to be magnificent.
The three people from Ditan didn't even hang around for a long time before they were completely heartbroken.
They not only admire the business strategy of the Temple of Heaven, but also envy the reputation of the Temple of Heaven Park.
Because they never expected that not only the well-known veterans from Liulichang would come, but also the top special arts and crafts factory in the capital.
Such a dazzling collection of old and good things seems to make the entire Praying for Good Harvest Altar under the clear sky a dazzling treasure mountain, and also makes the Praying for Good Harvest Hall in the sunshine even more dazzling.
I believe that anyone who is interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and anyone who has some cultural literacy, will be excited to feast their eyes on it when they come here.
This is exactly it - the goods here in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests are so complete that they can sell millions of dollars in one day. How many noble people are here leisurely, and their clothes are still fragrant with the smoke from the furnace.
“Hey, what a misstep. I didn’t expect that when we followed the mass line, they actually got sophisticated. Look, so many time-honored brands and handicraft factories have come to support the Temple of Heaven. This year, Once the temple fair started, Tiantan Park successfully replaced Changdian and became synonymous with cultural temple fairs. This is called occupying the commanding heights! From now on, who can compete with them in this regard? I am afraid that elements and foreigners will come here during the Spring Festival and give them money.”
The secretary was the first to feel sorry for himself.
"Secretary, I feel the same as you. But let me tell you, we really can't blame ourselves. Mainly, the innate advantages of the Temple of Heaven are too obvious. As the old saying goes in Beijing, the east is rich and the west is expensive, and the south is poor and the north is humble. What is there to the north of us? Huh? They are all elderly eunuchs. Although there are many poor people in the south, there are all famous snacks and handicrafts craftsmen guarding the front door. This is historical and objective," the deputy director tried his best to comfort.
However, the secretary's knot was not resolved, and instead he felt worried.
"What you say makes sense, but it cannot be just objective. It is remarkable that people can make rational use of natural advantages and resources. Otherwise, why didn't Longtan Lake do this? I always I feel that there are experts behind this Tiantan. Tiantan is in a different area from us, but I also know that their secretary and director are both workers and peasants cadres who have fought in the war, so they don't have such brains. If you don't say anything, look at the arrangements inside and outside the praying altar. You really know how to do it."
"What do you mean by this? I don't see anything clever about it... ..." The deputy director was confused.
The secretary taught him a lesson.
"Hey, if you say that, you are just an outsider. If nothing else, let's take the kite stall at the beginning. Kites are very special things, they take up a lot of space, and they are afraid of crowds. The Temple of Heaven arranges five seats at the outermost Each stall is hung on the wall of the outer courtyard, separated by a counter, which is both suitable for recruiting people and safe. If you look at the other stalls under the outer wall, they are all relatively cheap, and they are not afraid of cold weather and wind and sand. Even if it's cold and dirty, it won't delay things. However, it's different when you enter this courtyard. The things displayed in the shed are not expensive and delicate. If these paintings and calligraphy were displayed in the open air, it would be a breeze. If you pass it, it will be in disarray. If you look at these sheds, they have roofs and walls, are equipped with glass, have plenty of light, are decorated in traditional ways, and have bright colors. They are really the most unique public galleries. And I am sure that they are. Their best things must be placed in the side hall, believe it or not..."
When the two leaders of Ditan said this, they didn't expect that the driver had already come to urge them.
And his little face was red and excited.
"Leader, leader, this Temple of Heaven is amazing, absolutely amazing! You two, go to the front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests and have a look..."
I bet this guy was bored just now, so I took advantage of the two of them. After talking to the leader, he took an ice cream in his mouth and walked around somewhere else.
Unexpectedly, I saw an extremely rare Western view and quickly ran back to report back.
It’s just that these words have no beginning and no end, making it difficult for people to understand.
"What's wrong? Tell me clearly, what did you see?"
The deputy director really couldn't see the driver's frivolous manner.
He sounded unhappy and frowned.
But beating a dog depends on the owner. After all, he is the secretary's driver, so it is not easy for him to teach him a lesson.
The driver was too arrogant, so he didn’t see the color and was still happy.
"Take pictures, there are people taking pictures there..." "What's the point of taking pictures? How could you succeed like this?" The deputy director frowned even more.
"No, he...he is a foreigner, and he is wearing our ancient clothes..."
"That's nothing unusual. Beihai and the Summer Palace already have them. Our park will start when the weather gets warmer. Isn't it just to get some costumes and helmets..."
But the secretary noticed something was wrong. .
"Hey, you're right, I can't wear anything today. Isn't he cold?"
The driver was completely confused.
"No, no, the leader...it's a costume, but it's not that simple...it's not the same thing as you think anyway..."
Finally, after swallowing, the boy finally expressed the general situation.
"They... they are so particular about what they do. They are all winter clothes, and they have whatever they want. Yellow mantles, armors, emperors, concubines, princes, ministers, eunuchs, maids, everything looks real when they are worn. Yes. By the way, they seem to be costumes from the movies "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "The Government Behind the Curtain". I saw the photos..."
"Ah!" The deputy director was surprised, and the secretary was also moved. .
The two of them immediately followed the driver onto the white marble Altar of Prayer for Good Harvests and walked around to the front of the main hall of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
As expected, a large group of people gathered there.
Among the crowd were two foreigners.
The man is wearing the emperor's parade armor, and the woman is wearing the imperial concubine's winter auspicious uniform. They are hugging each other and taking pictures at the entrance of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
Not only were there two royal guards standing behind them, wearing sleeveless bright yellow coats
Even the staff who took pictures of them were the staff of the Temple of Heaven, and they were also dressed like guards. Outfit.
This Jing'er looks so immoral and immoral. It's so funny. It's really unbelievable.
But I have to admit, this costume is so well made.
Exquisitely exquisite and full of realism, it is by no means an ordinary park that uses Peking Opera costumes to fool tourists.
Going down to Detan again, the two leaders of Ditan discovered that the driver was indeed right.
Opposite the Ganqing Prayer Hall, there are eight sheds divided into two rows in the middle of the courtyard, filled with Qing Dynasty costumes.
These two rows of sheds have large wooden signs erected in the north and south directions, and are covered with stills from the movies "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "The Government Behind the Curtain".
The external signature is the "Drama Costume Experience" project.
I have to say, this outfit is perfect.
The emperor's, queen's, concubines', ministers', and honor guards' belongings are placed in different booths, and the classification is very detailed.
Even the main costumes have photos of the actors hanging on them.
Liang Jiahui's, Liu Xiaoqin's, Chen Ye's, Zhou Jie's, Zhang Tielin's, Xiang Kun's...
Of course no one wears the eunuch's, but even An Dehai has a set, and all the clothes are exactly the same as in the photos.
This is true, there is absolutely no way it can be faked.
As a result, people are everywhere here, whether foreigners or people from the capital, they are all lingering and enthusiastic.
It’s a pity that this activity is attractive and the price is expensive enough.
The most expensive one is undoubtedly the winter coat worn by Emperor Tony Leung Ka Fai in the movie.
The price of a grand parade is 40 yuan and a half for an hour, and the cost of wearing a court robe is 35 and a half yuan.
The second is Chen Ye and Liu Xiaoqin’s female court clothes for 30 yuan.
The female court attire of Empress Li, Guiziliu, Seng Gelinqin and Sushun are all twenty.
Except for Sushun, Minister Gu Ming served in court for fifteen years.
Ten yuan for ordinary cotton armor, ten yuan for ordinary palace clothes, five yuan for a beautiful lady's cloak, five yuan for a leopard-tailed guard's gown...
The so-called leopard tail guard uniforms are the clothes worn by the staff.
Think about it, the cheapest ceremonial guard costume costs five yuan, which is really unaffordable for ordinary people.
So foreigners don't care, but the people in the capital have opinions.
Among the masses, there were complaints about the random pricing at the Temple of Heaven, and calls to go to the Price Bureau were heard again.
However, the staff at the Temple of Heaven were not at all confused, as if they had been prepared.
Someone called out with a loudspeaker.
“Everyone, everyone, if you want something cheap, we also have it, that is, a yellow robe from the Peking Opera costume and a helmet. Other parks charge three yuan, so we also charge three yuan. But the problem is, The things that everyone is interested in now are different. These costumes are actually things that appear in the movie."
"I won't tell you which star wore them. The number of clothes we wear is not one, but four. From the inside to the outside are robes, patchwork coats, and leopard-tailed coats on the outside. There are also tops and boots. How hard is it to wear it? We also provide weapons to make your photos look perfect. How much should we charge for the clothes? "
< br>"Besides, we have clothes like ours. These are designed by experts and are completely copied from the styles of the past. This is what the imperial guards wore in the past. Can it be the same? Everyone must know Ah, this kind of leopard-tailed coat is the emperor's royal guard of honor. It is different from the yellow coat of ordinary guards. We have to respect history..."
At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "That show. What about women? There are only four of them, so why are they so expensive?”
The owner of the speaker reacted very quickly. "The cloaks worn by the show girls are simple, but they were worn by Liu Xiaoqin, Zhou Jie and Chen Ye. What's the matter, do you still think it's expensive if it's worn by a big star or on camera? The rental price of other clothes they wore But they are all over 20. "
This is going downhill. Whether it is about emotion or reason, culture or history, the people watching were impressed and turned to whispers.
There were even two men and two women from Hong Kong who immediately emerged from the crowd, holding one hundred foreign exchange coupons in their hands and about to pay.
In order to experience the true royal style, they even proposed to spend money to hire several staff members to do the ceremonial background.
I didn’t expect that the Temple of Heaven actually had this service, so the loudspeaker shouted again.
"Yes, yes, the guards are cheap when they are ready. There are ten of us here, all of our clothes have been changed. We can take pictures if you ask. It costs one yuan per person, you can use as many as you like. Three yuan for the maid, I have to pay for it from the Beishen Chef next door. Go ahead. It will be troublesome to call you up to four eunuchs. And no one likes to dress up, so they are expensive. Do you want one?"
< br>This caused a lot of laughter at the scene, and some people started asking Hong Kong customers to order eunuchs.
As for the three people from the Temple of Earth, in addition to laughing along with them, they also mentally improved their evaluation of the Temple of Heaven’s ability to organize activities.
Especially the deputy director, even though he doesn’t understand what a big IP is, let alone what Cosplay is.
But at this time, he was also convinced that the secretary was right, there must be an expert behind the Temple of Heaven Park.
Otherwise there was no way to explain what he saw.
God knows who came up with this trick, it’s amazing.
