Although everyone was holding their mobile phones when watching the flag-raising ceremony, Xia Yu did not take a single photo, because the red flag was in his heart and there was no need to use photos to break the solemnity of the moment.
Visiting the Forbidden City is different, as you can use your camera to record history here.
It is called the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty, but Xia Yu prefers to call it the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Aisin-Gioro family, whom everyone wants to marry in Qing Dynasty time travel novels (romance novels), could not get used to living here. They were more accustomed to living in the newly built garden outside.
Changchun Garden, Yuanmingyuan, and the Summer Palace are all places in the Forbidden City where the last emperor Puyi had no choice but to live. After all, these gardens were either abandoned or destroyed, and people could not leave at all.
But even so, Puyi was kicked out when he was 19 years old.
After taking a few photos, we continued walking forward. The floor tiles in front of the three main halls were a bit bumpy. After five or six hundred years of wind, frost and rain, even the hardest stones would weather and peel off, becoming what they are today.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that the roads to the Forbidden City are difficult to navigate. Back then, even the president of a certain country had to get out of his car to visit."
A few people were walking on the road, and there happened to be a tour guide introducing the group.
It's well known that driving is prohibited in the Forbidden City, but why is the president of the United States being singled out as an example? Is it because he has a good reputation?
Xia Yu felt like this was a flag, and he didn't know when he would have to teach it again.
"The palace here is so huge, much bigger than our Gyeongbokgung Palace and Deoksugung Palace."
Zhao Xiubin couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course. The peninsula is too small. We don't have the manpower and resources to build a large palace."
If it gets too big, it will be a waste of money and time. Not to mention uprising, the people will definitely turn against it.
Most dynasties will decline if they lose the support of the people. Even if the feudal era is over, this will never change.
“Do you think the Forbidden City is beautiful?”
"Beautiful, this is why I came to China. I want to travel more and see more in the next two years."
Zhao Xiubin said with a smile.
No one comes to a strange country for no reason. There must be something that attracts them here. Some find their dreams shattered after arriving, while others are full of surprises.
Zhao Xiubin should be this kind of surprise. She admires China's ancient culture and countless landscapes. It is unlike her own country, where there is only Seoul and Seoul.
"That's a good idea. I think so too, but I want to see the whole world."
Xia Yu's vision is not limited to China, or even to the Earth.
Before he turns thirty, he will definitely go to space to see the world. If he has to worry about radiation affecting his fertility, then he can just freeze his XX. After all, a small tube is enough to colonize a planet with life.
"I believe you can do it."
Zhao Xiubin knew that Xia Yu was rich and had a lot of free time, and these two things were enough for him to travel around the world.
"You can too."
As long as foreigners are not foodies, they can travel around China in a few years. But if they are a little greedy, they may not be able to leave the province in a year.
Xia Yu had observed that Zhao Xiubin was not a foodie like her senior. She preferred shopping to eating.
In this way, as long as the travel funds are sufficient, the travel efficiency can be very high.
As they were chatting, the two of them fell behind. The sisters in front walked to a place where they could take photos. There were many Qing Dynasty costumes for rent. I don’t know whether it was operated by the Palace Museum itself or contracted out.
"Xiubin, you must look beautiful in ancient costume. Let's take a couple of pictures!"
Seeing that the business was good, Sister Xiaoyun was jealous, but it was embarrassing to be alone. It would not be embarrassing if she dragged everyone into it.
"Me? I can't!"
Zhao Xiubin was a little shy and waved his hands to say no.
"You can do it. Last time you showed us a photo of you wearing Korean clothes. You looked so beautiful. Let's change the style today and be the queen of China."
Sister Xiaoyun said this and turned her gaze to Xia Yu again.
"No, Sister Xiaoyun, just take the photos. I have good skills and I will help you take the photos."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Yu quickly raised the camera in his hand.
He didn't want to wear a fake dragon robe that was not even as good as a theatrical costume, especially since it was made according to the Qing Dynasty regulations.
As for dragon robes, Xia Yu prefers the black dragon robes from the early Qin and Han dynasties, or the cute bunny hat. The two folded corners look like the ears of a short-eared rabbit, and they look very cute when worn on the head.
Qing Dynasty?
That hat is absolutely hideous, and the braid is even uglier.
Compared with the men's clothing of the Qing Dynasty, women's clothing was still acceptable, especially after Zhao Xiubin changed into the clothes of a noble concubine. Xia Yu was stunned, just like Meng Yi in the movie "The Myth" when he saw Concubine Li.
Historically, the peninsula has always had a tradition of presenting beautiful women to the Chinese dynasty. It was unlikely during the Qin Dynasty, but there were quite a lot of such cases during the Ming Dynasty. Yongle and Xuande each had eight Korean concubines.
Now Zhao Xiubin looks so stunning when wearing the clothes of a Qing Dynasty concubine. I wonder what she would look like when wearing the clothes of a Ming Dynasty concubine?
Alas, don’t think about it anymore. He can’t even think of all the good sisters and sisters in China, let alone those abroad. Just take pictures.
"Crack!"
They are wearing the same clothes, but Xia Yu made Zhao Xiubin look even better than the heroine in the pigtail drama, and compared with those old photos from the late Qing Dynasty, she is a complete crusher.
However, there were also beautiful women in that era. Wanrong was more beautiful than Wenxiu, and Wanrong's cousin Wanyan Litongji was also beautiful. Guangxu's harem was really horrible, and Xia Yu had to suspect that there was some inside story.
Sister Xiaoyun and the others also changed and came out. Some wore princess's clothes, and some wore queen's clothes. Xia Yu couldn't quite tell them apart, but he treated them all equally and took beautiful photos of everyone from various angles, which made everyone feel proud.
Xia Yu is humble enough, and Sister Xiaoyun and the others also know when to advance and retreat, so they can have fun.
A super rich man is not someone who is high and mighty. He can deal with people from all walks of life. Only those who can understand people's hearts are truly super rich. Xia Yu is learning in this regard.
By noon, the group had almost finished visiting the entire Forbidden City and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
"Let's go have some braised pork and fried tripe for lunch. You treated us to breakfast, so we'll treat you to lunch!"
Sister Xiaoyun waved her hand, representing everyone's decision.
"Well, thank you all, sisters!"
Xia Yu did not refuse. Both of these dishes were meat, and would be much more expensive than breakfast, but he would only spend about a hundred yuan at most. Sister Xiaoyun and the others were repaying a favor, and he couldn't let them down.
"You're welcome. Let's go eat some stewed pork."
What is luzhu? It is a dish made by stewing pig intestines and lungs with tofu. It tastes delicious.
The people of the Peninsula and the Chinese eat similar things, they eat dog meat and pig offal. Zhao Xiubin had no problem at all this time, but she was more curious about these two delicacies rather than greedy.
Sister Xiaoyun was really drooling. It was her first time in Beijing, but you can also eat braised pork and fried tripe in Shanghai. It was only after she tried them that she wanted to come here to eat the authentic ones.
