In any case, the "beauty trap" was just a small scheme by Qin Zian, and not the core of Yuzhou's cultural tourism promotion.
A history of Yuzhou is half the history of the Dragon Kingdom.
The focus of Yuzhou's cultural tourism promotion is still on culture, with the "beauty trap" being just an embellishment.
Therefore, Qin Zian did not linger near the icefall for too long, but instead took the viewers in the live broadcast room to experience the everyday life of ordinary people.
The scenic area of Yuntai Mountain not only boasts beautiful scenery and beautiful people, but also a rich traditional culture.
The viewers in the live stream hadn't even gotten over Daji and the handsome men in ancient costumes when the loud gongs and drums pulled them back to reality.
Qin Zian walked through a long corridor of lanterns and arrived at a snow-covered stage.
Dragon and lion dances, traditional Chinese drumming, and other traditional folk arts come to life before the public.
After watching a short segment of the traditional folk art performance, Qin Zian led everyone to the fragrant food area.
Even in this freezing outdoor weather, the steaming hot snacks have already attracted the attention of the public.
This place not only has the spicy soup characteristic of Yuzhou, but also a wide variety of medicinal and nourishing dishes.
Basic ginger soup and rock sugar pear soup are no longer enough; there's also black chicken soup to nourish yin and kidneys, and three-yellow chicken soup to aid sleep and strengthen the spleen...
These are all available for free trial.
For no other reason than to promote the traditional Chinese medicine culture of Yuzhou.
Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine; Bian Que, the Divine Physician; Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine; Hua Tuo, the Father of Surgery…
These great medical figures were either born in Yuzhou or practiced medicine and collected herbs in Yuzhou for a long time.
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, Fuxi's creation of the Nine Needles, and Shennong's tasting of hundreds of herbs were all accomplished in Yuzhou.
Countless physicians in Yuzhou treated illnesses, saved lives, and wrote books.
Unfortunately, all that remains of the centuries-old tradition is the phrase "a major province of traditional Chinese medicine".
People who don't understand Yuzhou, don't understand traditional Chinese medicine, or even know these things.
In fact, whether in ancient or modern times, traditional Chinese medicine in Yuzhou has always been quite famous.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you trace your family back three generations, you will find that at least one of your elders was a barefoot doctor.
Countless medical miracles have occurred on this land, but they have not been widely adopted.
Even though China has been vigorously promoting traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, hoping to revive these traditional skills, it is still facing challenges.
However, for various reasons, the effect was not so significant.
Therefore, Qin Zian wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone see the traditional Chinese medicine of Yuzhou.
"Although Yuzhou used a honey trap this time, it was only part of the strategy. We should focus more on culture and let everyone feel the millennia-old culture and heritage of Yuzhou."
"Throughout its thousand-year history, Yuzhou has nurtured many great masters of traditional Chinese medicine. Yuntai Mountain has also launched the Treasure Wellness Bureau, specially designed for babies born in the Year of the Dragon."
"Your Highnesses, not only can you enjoy free hot drinks and medicinal cuisine here, but you can also experience free traditional Chinese medicine consultations up close. Without further ado, let me show you how it works."
As he spoke, Qin Zian walked toward a greenhouse with the title "Free Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic".
Inside, an old man was sitting.
He wasn't wearing a white coat, but rather a light blue Tang suit, just like an ancient doctor in a TV drama.
When the viewers in the live stream saw the old man's attire, they were stunned.
Is this a cosplay by the Yuntai Mountain scenic area, or is he really a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?
"My goodness! This 'time travel experience card' from Yuzhou Culture and Tourism is really baffling. The previous Guan Yu and Daji, and now this old Chinese medicine doctor, are just like people who have actually traveled from ancient times."
"However, I really want to say that he has no vision. This old Chinese medicine doctor is Director Li of Yuzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I have been trying to get an appointment with him for a month, but I still haven't been able to."
"What?! This old Chinese medicine doctor is real, and he's even a hospital director level??? I'm speechless. Just for this free Chinese medicine clinic, I really have to go to Yuzhou this time."
"If it weren't for the explanations in the comments, I would have really mistaken the old Chinese medicine doctor for a cosplayer. Otherwise, let him wear a white coat, so that he can be distinguished from the cosplayers in the scenic area."
"Can't those people who criticize those wearing white coats have a little cultural confidence? Dean Li is wearing traditional Chinese medicine attire, which is miles ahead of those white coats."
Before Qin Zian could even begin his introduction, the comments section was already buzzing with discussion about the old Chinese medicine doctor's attire.
After all, the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau's focus this time is on the 'time travel experience card,' which gives tourists the feeling of returning to ancient times.
But at this free TCM clinic, the TCM practitioners were dressed up too much like TCM practitioners...
It seems there's something wrong with it?
In Qin Zian's view, this was not a place where controversy could arise at all.
There was no way around it; China's medical system had been dominated by Western medicine for many years, while the revival of traditional Chinese medicine had only been around for a few years.
Often, the public doesn't necessarily have ill intentions towards Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); rather, they simply don't have the concept of it in their minds.
However, none of that matters.
It's fine if we didn't have the concept before, but we'll understand after the publicity.
Qin Zian did not evade the key issues, but directly raised the questions raised by netizens.
"Should traditional Chinese medicine practitioners wear white coats?" Qin Zian smiled dismissively and said calmly, "Of course not! We traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have our own traditional clothing, why should we wear Western medicine's white coats?"
"Everyone knows that traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two different disciplines, and it's acceptable to use different clothing to distinguish them. Moreover, I don't need to say anything more; everyone understands what the traditional Chinese color white represents."
"From the perspective of the Five Elements theory in Chinese culture, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water correspond to the five colors of green, red, yellow, white, and black, respectively. The West belongs to metal and corresponds to white, so it is perfectly reasonable for Western doctors to wear white coats."
"But our country, the Dragon Kingdom, belongs to the East and corresponds to the color blue. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine uses herbs as the main medicinal materials. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine clothing is mainly blue. During the Republic of China era, people wore long gowns, and in the 1960s, they wore Zhongshan suits. Later, they wore Hanfu and Tang suits."
“We talk about cultural confidence and promoting Chinese culture every day. But this shouldn’t just be empty slogans; it should be put into practice in every aspect. We can’t abandon our national culture and confidence just for the sake of such trashy talk as ‘integrating with the world.’”
