Chapter 197 A Second Invitation to the Shehuo Performance? ??



Although Director Fu looks very distressed, he is clearly affected by the points that netizens are interested in.

But Qin Zian was unusually happy, and the corners of his mouth never turned down.

Similarly, Qin Zi'an believed that the hot pot owner was also happy.

After all, he would sit on his bed at night with his money jar, counting his earnings for the day.

'Tui! One north (hundred), two north, three north... one smile and you've got one north! How can I not be happy? Of course I'm happy!'

Let alone the hot pot restaurant owner, Qin Zian was happy for him just thinking about it.

This phenomenon will continue in Tianshui, bringing more and more artisans into the public eye.

This is the charm of cultural tourism and the benefits it brings to the local area and its people.

Ever since Qin Zian arrived in Tianshui, he has been hearing the same voice.

This is not the most beautiful season in Tianshui; the season that belongs to Tianshui has not yet arrived.

But in Qin Zi'an's view, for local cultural tourism to achieve significant growth...

The season is a factor, but opportunity is something that can only be encountered by chance.

With a little effort, even barren land can produce vibrant red flowers.

Since natural factors cannot be changed, we should use the greatest human factors to attract and retain tourists.

"Director Fu, is it difficult to invite the Shehuo troupe a second time?"

Director Fu exclaimed in surprise before turning his gaze from his phone to Qin Zi'an.

Even so, the shock in Director Fu's eyes was far from over.

Is this a second invitation to the Shehuo performance?

Is this a difficult question?

This has never happened before.

Shehuo is a traditional carnival celebration for the Spring Festival in the Tianshui area, mainly concentrated around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The purpose of Shehuo (a traditional folk performance) is the same as that of Spring Festival sacrificial activities in other regions: to pray for national peace and prosperity. It is also an intangible cultural heritage of China.

However, in terms of form, Shehuo features a wealth of activities and highly distinctive performances.

Shehuo performances feature traditional dragon and lion dances, stilt walking, and local specialties such as land boat dances and Yangko dances.

The term "Shehuo" originates from people's worship of the land and fire. "She" means the land god, while "huo" represents the fire god and the meaning of prosperity and liveliness.

This sacrificial activity originated from the ancient working people's reverence for the land and fire. It is also a product of ancient witchcraft and totem worship, and an activity used by our ancestors to worship gods.

Therefore, Shehuo activities must have a fixed time and are a celebration that can only be held once a year.

Now, Qin Zi'an's idea of ​​"inviting Shehuo twice" is something that completely subverts everyone's understanding.

Therefore, the attendees in the conference room looked at each other in astonishment.

In any case, the Shehuo is a large-scale event in Tianshui, and it is not something that Director Fu can decide on his own.

This represents not only the organization of an event, but also the beliefs of the local people.

Director Fu pursed his lips and pondered for a while before finally turning his gaze to the attendees.

"The idea of ​​inviting Shehuo (a traditional folk performance) twice is indeed..." Director Fu paused, then asked softly, "Tell me your thoughts on Xiao Qin's idea."

Director Fu did not state his position beforehand, but instead posed the question to the attendees.

They are now truly feeling like they are sitting on pins and needles, like they have thorns in their backs.

Such an important matter as inviting the Shehuo (a traditional folk performance) is not something they can decide on just by talking.

Not to mention, they've never done anything like this before, and what if inviting the folk performers a second time doesn't work...?

It's no exaggeration to say that Tianshui is about to become the biggest joke in the world.

The crowd looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to offer an opinion.

It wasn't until Director Fu's sharp gaze was fixed on them that they, under immense pressure, had no choice but to tactfully express their thoughts.

"Director Qin's idea is indeed a good one, but we in Tianshui have never had the precedent of inviting Shehuo twice. I know that inviting Shehuo twice can demonstrate Tianshui's sincerity in welcoming tourists from all over the country, but there are still many difficulties in implementing the event."

“We hold a folk performance every year, and this year is no exception, but it still hasn’t made any waves. It would be embarrassing if we went to great lengths to organize the event and no one had any interest in it.”

"Yes! Although traditional folk activities are indeed very popular this year, with Chaoshan Yingge Dance and Fujian's deity procession becoming huge hits, not many people paid attention when we in Tianshui were heavily promoting Shehuo (a type of folk performance). That was the case before, and it should be similar now."

"I think the situation is still a bit different. This year's traditional folk activities have received a lot of attention, but the competition during the first month of the lunar calendar is indeed very intense. Even Director Qin personally went to the fire tower, so the audience was naturally drawn away. Now that the Spring Festival is over, if we hold a second round of Shehuo (a traditional folk performance), we will definitely be able to break into the mainstream."

"No matter how well we think about breaking out of the circle, it's useless now. This is originally a sacrificial activity during the Spring Festival. If it is not held during the Spring Festival, then the significance of Shehuo... will definitely be greatly reduced."

As the discussion deepened, the participants gradually began to express their true feelings.

Overall, the majority of people are against it.

After all, the Shehuo activity requires a lot of manpower and resources, and it is not held during the original sacrificial time.
