With the launch of the Tianshui Culture and Tourism Bureau's live broadcast, tens of thousands of viewers instantly flooded into the live broadcast room.
If the official team hadn't been prepared in advance, the live stream would have been completely overwhelmed by them.
In order to bring everyone closer together and to make the live stream more effective.
Therefore, Qin Zi'an served as the host for this live broadcast and had already made preparations.
Because the Fuxi Grand Ceremony involves thousands of years of culture in the Dragon Kingdom, and the scale of this sacrificial ceremony is also quite high.
Even a performance of ritual music is a rare opportunity to be broadcast live.
Therefore, Qin Zi'an did not start with any antics, but instead approached the live stream with a serious attitude.
To make the image more fitting, Qin Zian's costume also incorporated some clever design elements.
He wore Ming Dynasty Hanfu, which allowed everyone to be more immersed in the grand ceremony and music performance of Fuxi that followed the Ming Dynasty sacrificial procedures.
Although the ritual music performance has not officially started yet, viewers can already hear all kinds of gongs and drums through the live broadcast.
Amidst the enthusiastic discussions of the crowd, Qin Zi'an smiled and introduced the program for the Fuxi Grand Ceremony Music Performance.
"The Fuxi Grand Ceremony is a sacrificial ceremony held by our Dragon Kingdom to worship Fuxi, the ancestor of Chinese civilization. It is held in Tianshui every year on June 22nd. However, due to the overwhelming number of tourists this year, the Tianshui Culture and Tourism Bureau has opened up part of the ritual music performances."
"Although it is just a ritual music performance, the programs included are all those that will appear in the Fuxi Grand Ceremony. The sacrificial procedures that will be shown later will also strictly follow the Ming Dynasty sacrificial rites, so as to allow people to experience the Fuxi Grand Ceremony activities in an immersive way."
"No matter how much I talk about this event, nothing beats seeing it for yourself. Let me clarify beforehand, it's not that I haven't prepared any explanations or speeches, I just want everyone to experience it firsthand. So, I'll stop talking now and let the photographer show you this grand ceremony."
After saying these words, Qin Zian couldn't wait to leave the screen.
Judging from his lightning speed, the image almost couldn't capture his afterimage.
Those who know Qin Zi'an understand that this kid is just slacking off.
What kind of immersive experience is this? He clearly wasn't well-prepared.
However, before the viewers in the live stream could even begin to complain, they were already stunned by the spectacular scene.
Not only did solemn ancient music resound at the scene, but the ritual performers in the video were all dressed in ancient costumes.
Not only are their costumes and makeup incredibly accurate to ancient times, but even their every smile and gesture seems to have stepped out of an ancient painting.
In front of the plaque for the "Grand Ceremony of Public Memorial to Fuxi", the "Musical and Dance Offering" of the Grand Ceremony of Fuxi, the Ancestor of Chinese Civilization, began.
What first appeared before everyone's eyes was the content of the first movement of the Fuxi Grand Ceremony, "The Dawn Opens to Welcome the Sage".
"The Longshan Mountains are verdant, and the Yellow River flows mightily. It is the summer solstice, and we offer sacrifices to the Sun Emperor."
As the host loudly recited the sacrificial incantation, the powerful recitation, accompanied by solemn ancient music, naturally inspired a sense of awe in the audience.
Amidst this ensemble of eight instruments and the resounding of bells and chimes, the ritual performers also made their appearance.
At the head of the procession stood three elders holding incense sticks, who led a 160-member honor guard carrying dragon flags and canopies into the public eye.
They walked steadily, solemnly, and devoutly into the altar to conduct the sacrificial ceremony.
Twenty-four dancers holding incense sticks followed closely behind, welcoming Chinese people from home and abroad who came to trace their roots.
With reverence and awe, everyone sang elegant music and paid homage to Xi Huang, the progenitor of Chinese civilization.
Then, the ancient music gradually became more exciting, and the dancers began to dance gracefully, holding Bagua drums.
They used their graceful dance moves to uphold virtue and transform the universe.
Then, thirty-six dancers dressed in blue rushed onto the stage.
They danced with their flowing sleeves, making them come together and interweave in successive combinations.
Through these dances, they express their reverence and remembrance of Fuxi.
The grand scene was showcased from multiple camera angles in the Tianshui Culture and Tourism live broadcast room.
The audience was so amazed by the breathtaking sight that they were speechless.
Especially those international friends who came specifically to admire the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, they were completely dumbfounded.
They had imagined that the ritual music performance for the Fuxi celebration would be grand, but they never expected it to be such a grand spectacle.
After all, the grandest event these international friends have ever seen in China is the Spring Festival Gala.
Even that annual national-level gala pales in comparison to the ritual music performance of the Fuxi Grand Ceremony.
In response, the deeply moved audience members began typing on their keyboards to express their awe.
"Oh my god! Is this really not the official Fuxi Ceremony? I feel like this is the most amazing Dragon Kingdom ceremony I have ever seen. I can't imagine how grand the real Fuxi Ceremony would be."
"My God! If I could walk into the sacrificial site of the Fuxi Grand Ceremony in my lifetime and witness this grand sacrificial ceremony with my own eyes, then my life would be complete, and I would have no regrets even if I died."
"Hey! You foreigners, how many dishes did you have to drink to this extent? Even we locals in Tianshui can't get into this place, do you think you can even dream of it? You should be grateful that you even have a look, don't be ungrateful."
"The Dragon Kingdom, my second homeland that I have never seen!!! God, can you tell me how I can be reborn into the Dragon Kingdom? I really want to experience the happiness and joy of being in the great nation of China."
"As expected of the Fuxi Ceremony, I'm watching it from behind a screen, barely daring to breathe. At this moment, my national pride has reached its peak!!! I have no regrets about being born Chinese in this life, and I'll be Chinese again in the next. As for those foreign devils, forget about it. With the current birth rate... you'll probably be assigned to India."
The Fuxi Grand Ceremony is a grand event for Chinese people all over the world to trace their roots and ancestors, and to enhance the cultural identity and national cohesion of Chinese people worldwide.
Although the Tianshui Culture and Tourism Bureau only organized a ritual music performance for the Fuxi Ceremony, it already achieved the desired effect.
Not only that, but it has also inspired many international friends to worship Chinese culture, gaining a group of devout fans.
As the ritual music performances progressed, the event quickly came to an end.
At the same time, Qin Zian returned to the camera in the live broadcast room and began to interact with the audience.
