Seeing everyone expressing their helplessness, Qin Zian's smile deepened.
He wasn't laughing at everyone; rather, this was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.
If everyone knows the answer to the question, then there's no need for him to say it or to publicize it.
The goal of promoting Northern Xinjiang culture is to bring out the culture of its niche audiences, rather than showcasing the mainstream aspects of it.
Then, Qin Zian spoke again.
"It seems this topic is indeed quite challenging, but that's exactly the effect I wanted. Through this topic, I hope to help everyone gain a deeper understanding of the culture and traditions of Northern Xinjiang. In fact, this ceremony is called 'Moon Festival,' a very important sacrificial ceremony in Northern Xinjiang, symbolizing the worship of the moon and reverence for nature."
Standing on the stage, Qin Zian's voice was filled with awe and passion: "The Moon Festival is an ancient and solemn sacrificial ceremony in the northern Xinjiang region. It originates from the northern Xinjiang people's worship of the moon and their reverence for nature. In the hearts of the northern Xinjiang people, the moon is not only a bright lamp in the sky, but also a bridge connecting heaven and earth, and gods and men."
"The moon festival is usually held on the night of the full moon because, in the eyes of the people of northern Xinjiang, the full moon symbolizes completeness and perfection, representing people's beautiful expectations for life. On the night of the moon festival, the entire tribe is immersed in a solemn and respectful atmosphere."
“Participants will wear special costumes, which are colorful and embroidered with various auspicious patterns. They will hold mysterious ritual implements, which are usually handmade by the elders of the tribe and passed down from generation to generation, full of historical weight.”
"During the moon worship ceremony, participants dance around an ancient altar. This altar is a sacred place in the hearts of the people of northern Xinjiang, and it is engraved with the marks of their ancestors and the traces of history. The rhythm and movements of the dance are carefully choreographed, symbolizing people's reverence for their ancestors and their gratitude to nature."
"As the dance progresses, the atmosphere of the entire tribe gradually reaches its climax. People pray together under the moonlight, asking for the blessings of their ancestors and the bounty of nature. This prayer is not only an expression of reverence for their ancestors, but also a reverence for life and an expectation for the future."
"The Moon Festival is not only a sacrificial ceremony, but also a carrier of cultural heritage. It represents the people of northern Xinjiang's reverence for nature and life, as well as their pursuit of harmonious coexistence. Through the Moon Festival, the people of northern Xinjiang can gain a deeper understanding of their relationship with nature, and thus cherish and protect this land even more."
Qin Zian's words echoed in the hall, like a gentle spring breeze, caressing the corners of everyone's hearts.
The solemnity and mystery conveyed in his words made people feel as if they had traveled through time and space to that ancient and sacred night of the full moon.
Everyone could almost see the people of the northern frontier, dressed in colorful clothes and holding ritual implements carved with ancient symbols, dancing gracefully around a majestic and solemn ancient altar under the silvery moonlight.
Their dance steps were light yet powerful, as if telling ancient and moving stories.
That reverence for the moon, the awe for nature, and the love for life are deeply imprinted in their hearts. They seem to feel that awe and gratitude from the depths of their hearts, and a deep appreciation for the gifts of nature.
Just then, someone in the audience murmured softly.
"That scene was so beautiful, I really wish I could see it in person."
These words immediately garnered widespread approval, with many expressing their desire to witness the "Moon Festival" ceremony firsthand and experience the rich cultural atmosphere of northern Xinjiang.
However, with the changing times, this ancient and solemn "moon festival" ceremony has gradually disappeared into the torrent of time.
Upon learning of this tragic news, the audience members expressed deep regret and sorrow, longing to witness this grand occasion once again and experience the solemnity and mystery of this ancient culture.
Just as people were sighing and reminiscing, Qin Zian stopped keeping them hanging and announced the news he had been planning for a long time.
"The cultural and tourism departments in northern Xinjiang are making active efforts to restore this ancient and sacred 'moon festival' ceremony. They are collecting information and looking for relevant inheritors, hoping to recreate the glory of the 'moon festival'."
This news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
The audience erupted in cheers of surprise, they were incredibly excited.
"Great! We finally have the chance to witness the 'Moon Festival' again!"
With tears welling in his eyes, an elderly man from northern Xinjiang said with emotion, "I had heard of the 'Moon Festival' when I was a child, but I had never seen it in person. If I could see the 'Moon Festival' in my lifetime and experience that solemn and sacred atmosphere, then I would die without regrets."
"If the 'Moon Festival' can be restored, I will definitely return to the land of Northern Xinjiang, no matter where I am in the world, to personally experience this ancient and mysterious ritual!" a tourist from out of town said with a smile.
Such comments are numerous, all expressing their love and anticipation for the "Moon Festival" in northern Xinjiang.
"We are all looking forward to that day!" Qin Zian nodded with a smile and continued, "The cultural and tourism departments in Northern Xinjiang are working hard to restore the 'Moon Festival' as soon as possible. I will inform everyone as soon as there is any new information."
In this way, Qin Zian successfully drew everyone's attention to the ancient and mysterious sacrificial ceremony of the Northern Frontier Moon Festival by solving a difficult problem, as if lifting a veil of mystery and arousing more people's strong interest in this remote and mysterious Northern Frontier.
Viewers and netizens left messages on social media, asking for more details about the Northern Xinjiang Moon Festival, showing great interest in the culture and traditions of Northern Xinjiang.
