In the distance, long, narrow boats dotted the river surface.
A fisherman wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat stands in front of his fishing boat, holding a slender bamboo pole as he drifts along the river.
"This is…"
The overseas audience, who were suddenly surrounded by rivers and mountains, were once again stunned by the scene before them.
Many foreigners were seeing such a magnificent and beautiful scene for the first time.
Before that, they had mostly visited developed countries like Japan and South Korea, which were home to American troops.
I racked my brains but couldn't figure out where in these developed Asian countries such beautiful scenery could be found.
As the stage camera pans across the screen.
The final shot slowly settles on a quiet mountain forest, at a four-cornered pavilion with gray ridges and upturned eaves, surrounded by white marble railings.
"Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion"
Lyrics and arrangement: Wang Yueheng
Singer: Wang Yueheng
This song is dedicated to the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce Charity Auction Gala.
"Dedicated to every overseas compatriot who loves their hometown!"
A Chinese and English subtitle appeared again, floating in the air before everyone's eyes.
In addition, there is an extra line of explanation.
That song was written specifically for tonight's charity auction.
This is to express our gratitude to everyone who came and donated!
"My God, Wang Yueheng has actually written a song for his calligraphy work again!"
"This way of showcasing one's work is amazing!"
"Just based on these special effects, this calligraphy work should fetch at least $100,000 at auction!"
"If Hollywood were to produce this, the special effects alone would probably cost hundreds of thousands!"
After learning about Wang Yueheng's ingenious intention, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room once again exclaimed in amazement.
Immediately, a melodious and moving tune arose along with the babbling brook.
at the same time.
Two figures, a man and a woman, dressed in ancient costumes, also appeared in the pavilion.
The slender woman wore a plain white dress and her long hair was tied in a bun and hung down her back.
Her jet-black hair was adorned with flower hairpins and tree ornaments, giving her an elegant and graceful demeanor.
The woman in white was holding a slender calligraphy brush. On the stone table in the pavilion was a white paper grinding table with half-written, delicate characters on it.
The three characters of the title "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" in running script are particularly eye-catching.
The man accompanying the woman was dressed in a black coarse cloth robe and had a tall and robust figure.
The man had a long sword hanging at his waist, and his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.
"This occurred during a period of great division in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, marked by the chaotic warfare of the Sixteen Kingdoms."
"Taking advantage of the dynasty's internal strife, the nomadic tribes beyond the Great Wall launched an invasion of the northern part of the Dragon Kingdom, establishing nomadic tribes and suppressing the Han people..."
"During the Jiangzuo era, Sima Rui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor, calling himself the Prince of Jin..."
"At the beginning of Sima Rui's reign, under pressure from the tyranny of the Hu people, a large number of northerners migrated south. The clans and people who migrated south from the north were called 'overseas Chinese'..."
"Northern 'migrants' were settled in southern regions where clans were weaker, and prefectures and counties were established for them; later generations referred to this as the 'Law of Migrant Settlements'..."
Just as everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery of handsome men and beautiful women, the scenery of the country was breathtaking.
A text subtitle suddenly appeared slowly in mid-air on the stage.
It seems to be explaining the historical context in which the male and female protagonists in the picture live.
"Huh, what's going on? Did the concept of overseas Chinese exist in ancient China?"
"Could this story take place during the Jin Dynasty?"
"History books seem to rarely cover that period; I only know about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties..."
"But what does all this have to do with the 'Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion'? The Orchid Pavilion wasn't built by the Jin Dynasty!"
"I've heard that the Jin Dynasty produced many famous calligraphers. Could it be related to them?"...
As this historical material came to light.
The audience below the stage were momentarily stunned.
I don't understand what this ancient Chinese history has to do with the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" that Wang Yueheng is about to auction.
