The Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau recently announced a new event called "Gifting Pearls and Jade to Beautiful Women".
In the official video, handsome men and beautiful women in ancient costumes present pearls and jade to travelers from Yuzhou.
Jade from Nanyang, diamonds from Luocheng, pearls from Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area... all given away for free.
If we're talking about the entry barrier, there's only one question and answer about basic Chinese culture.
If you can answer the questions correctly, you can take the pearl home for free.
Nowadays, many netizens haven't yet escaped the allure of Yuzhou's cultural tourism, and now they're faced with the temptation of money.
This caused netizens to completely lose their composure, and they flocked to the comments section of the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau to engage in team-building activities.
"Wow... when did Yuzhou become so generous? @Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau, jade, pearls, diamonds, are these things that can be given away so easily? Goodness, I woke up to find myself a stepson."
"Given the current practice of both Bingcheng and Yuzhou showering their fans with their wealth, why don't we switch places? You Yuzhou people can come to Bingcheng to eat free king crab, and we Bingcheng people can come to you to get pearls and diamonds."
"Family members, does anyone know anything about this? I opened Douyin this morning and found that I lost a diamond, a pearl, a piece of jade, a golden nanmu bracelet... What else is there? Let me see."
"Alright! I've completely fallen into Yuzhou's trap. First, there was the time-travel journey, then the temptation of beauty, and now the temptation of money. Even someone who's quit drugs couldn't resist this."
"To be honest, I just ran into Qin Zi'an delivering diamonds at the station. God knows, I just wanted to go and take a look, but they said they would call the police if anyone with an ID starting with 41 moved."
After learning that the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau was offering monetary incentives, netizens' desire to travel to Yuzhou increased even more.
Netizens booked tickets and looked up travel guides, all wanting to bring their little jewels home.
Online promotion was in full swing, and offline activities were also in full swing.
Los Angeles Railway Station.
Qin Zi'an, dressed in a flying fish robe, led a group of staff to welcome guests and carried out the "Gifts of Pearls and Jade to the Beautiful Woman" activity.
At this moment, Qin Zi'an was surrounded by a group of tourists who wanted to answer questions and receive gifts.
This Q&A session tested not only the passengers, but also the cultural literacy of the questioners, such as Qin Zi'an.
Regardless, this is a cultural and educational welfare activity organized by the Yuzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau.
The primary purpose is to spread cultural knowledge and to send out gifts.
Therefore, the questions Qin Zian asked were very simple and ordinary, so that the passengers could answer them as correctly as possible.
Facing the travelers from Shu, Qin Zi'an asked, "In ancient mythology, what was the mount of Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe?"
The answer is simple: it's the giant panda, the most famous national treasure of Sichuan, which used to be called the "iron-eating beast".
Such Q&A increases interactivity and gives travelers a sense of warmth.
But after asking the same question several times, Qin Zian couldn't help but get bored.
Following that, several questions about Lao Liu popped into Qin Zi'an's mind.
However, adhering to the purpose of the activity of bringing warmth, Qin Zian still suppressed his emotions.
Just then, a passenger squeezed in front of Qin Zian and asked in broken Mandarin.
"Teacher, I'm not very educated. Can you ask me a simple question?"
The speaker was a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, with dark skin and a thin build.
Not to mention his tattered cotton-padded coat.
Just by looking at him, everyone could tell that the boy's family was not well-off.
Faced with such a contestant, Qin Zi'an was happy to give him the diamond.
Therefore, Qin Zian nodded and asked with a smile, "What is the quintessence of our country?"
In Qin Zian's view, this problem was already extremely simple.
After all, the Dragon Kingdom vigorously promotes Peking Opera, a national treasure, so there should be no one who is unaware of it.
However, Qin Zian never expected that the passenger opposite him would say something so surprising.
"Holy shit."
Qin Zian looked at the boy in front of him in surprise, not knowing for a moment whether he was giving an answer or expressing his amazement.
It wasn't until the boy cleared his throat and repeated, "Holy crap, it's the national treasure of China!"...
His answer immediately amused the surrounding crowd, who all burst into laughter.
The boy looked puzzled, completely baffled as to why everyone was laughing so happily.
This is, after all, a public place, and there are many passersby around who are live-streaming and recording.
Therefore, Qin Zian coughed lightly, trying his best to give the boy a hint.
"This national essence is not the same as that national essence. The national essence we are talking about is an entertainment project."
Upon hearing this, the boy frowned and pondered for a while, seemingly genuinely unsure of the answer.
After a long while, the boy hesitantly said, "Mahjong... Mahjong is the national treasure."
As the new answer emerged, the onlookers laughed even harder.
One is "Holy crap," and the other is "Mahjong."
Hmm... how can this not be considered a national treasure of China?
After all, these two "national treasures" have a much wider audience than Peking Opera.
It's just that it's not elegant enough.
Qin Zian glanced at the boy and saw that his face was red to the roots of his ears.
Judging from his reserved demeanor, this wasn't a prank, but rather a reflection of his genuinely limited education.
The purpose of this event organized by Yuzhou Culture and Tourism was to promote Chinese culture and bring warmth to travelers.
The boy has stepped forward so bravely, so he should be given a chance, at least a little.
Therefore, Qin Zian coughed lightly and smiled as he tried to smooth things over.
"We can see that this young man has a lot of common sense. Everyone knows that Peking Opera is the national treasure, but he can use divergent thinking to come up with two other national treasures that are more widely accepted by the public."
"How about this? Let's give him another chance, okay?"
Compared to the quiz-based diamond-earning event, this rare and entertaining activity was even more appealing to the onlookers.
And so, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the boy got another chance to answer a question.
Having learned from the experience of dealing with the national treasure, Qin Zian became more cautious when asking questions, afraid of stumping the young man again.
If that's really the case, even if Qin Zian really wanted to give away this diamond, it would be extremely difficult.
Qin Zian carefully examined the boy in front of him and found that his features were very three-dimensional, making him look like someone from an ethnic minority.
"Are you from an ethnic minority? Are you from out of town?"
