Chapter 15 The Eternal Art Emperor

Most wooden arcade bridges are in the shape of a "rainbow".

The wooden arcade bridge also got the nickname "Hongqiao".

Hongqiao is an abbreviation, and its full name is "Hong Kong-beam Wooden Corridor Bridge".

There is a sentence in "Min Xiaoji" written by Zhou Lianggong in the early Qing Dynasty: "The bridges in central Fujian are the most beautiful. The houses built on the bridges are so beautiful that there is no place that cannot be painted."

Covered House Bridge, as the name suggests, is where covered buildings are built on the bridge.

Build a bridge over the stream and build a corridor on the bridge.

Shelter from wind and rain and enjoy the cool air.

The bridge and corridor are integrated into one, and the corridor is used to protect the bridge.

These wooden bridges, which embody the wisdom of the ancients, were built over deep valleys with high mountains, dense forests, and crisscrossed streams.

It is a unique category in the history of world bridges.

Because of the existence of this ancient wooden arch covered bridge, the stream became a thoroughfare.

Zongji's family drove their RV to Changqiao Village.

The lanterns are on and the night is getting darker.

Before setting off, Cheng Nuo told Zong Yi that there was a small refrigerator in the RV with a lot of food and drink prepared in it.

Cheng Nuo said it was specially prepared for their family's trip.

Zongyi, who didn't know what was going on, called out: "Sister Nuo, how did you know we were going to go camping? Do you have the special ability to predict the future?"

Meng Xinzhi covered her mouth and laughed.

Zongji thanked Cheng Nuo directly.

All in all, Zong Ji is the one who has known Cheng Nuo the longest among the family.

Before Zong Yi made up his mind to open the Aurora Studio, he went to Cheng Nuo's cafe in the city and inspected it for more than ten days.

He doesn't like drinking coffee very much. Every time he orders food and asks for a glass of water, everyone in the store is very impressed by him.

Zong Ji did not indicate that he was the owner of Aurora Intention Studio.

In a coffee mecca where everyone comes specifically for Chengnuo Coffee, Zongji's "dislike" seems a bit like a provocation.

No one in Cheng Nuo's cafe had any objections to Zong Ji. On the contrary, when the waiter saw him, he would ask: "Is it still the same today?"

The reason why Zongji chose to conduct field trips.

The original intention was to collect enough arguments to persuade Zongyi to give up the unreliable idea of ​​"entering based on stories".

As a father, although he is willing to indulge Zong Yi's "randomness", he still feels a little uneasy.

Zong Ji never thought that he would be the one to be persuaded in the end.

From the very beginning of its completion, Aurora Intention Studio had plans for the outside world.

The reason why I have waited until now is because the house is still busy and there is nothing to worry about.

Zong’s intention is to go to a boarding school.

When Meng Xinzhi goes to study abroad, he and Meng Lan will definitely be bored staying in Aurora.

On this point, Lan Lanzi and Ji Jizi have almost the same idea.

This is why Menglan became interested as soon as she heard that she could go out in an RV.

The attitude of the clerk towards him mostly determines the philosophy and demeanor of the cafe operator.

Zong Ji ruined the place at Cheng Nuo Cafe for more than ten days in a row.

In the end, I became good friends with the store employees one by one and felt at home.

This gave Zong Ji a relatively primitive appreciation for Cheng Nuo, so he was not polite to Cheng Nuo about the RV.

It is also a kind of fate that Cheng Nuo can become the first "story master" to settle in Aurora Studio.

Of course, as of now, Zongji only thinks this is a small fate related to coffee.

The starting point of this fate is Zong Yi and Cheng Nuo, but the end point is much more complicated than Zong Ji can imagine now.

…

Zongji is responsible for cooking, and Menglan is responsible for waiting for food.

Meng Xinzhi was responsible for taking her sister away from her mother.

In Lan Lanzi's original words: "Hurry up and take this "One Hundred Thousand Whys" away from the car."

Meng Xin was quite happy to take Zong Yi out for a walk.

Anyway, the parking place is still some distance away from Wan'an Bridge, so we can't see clearly where the collapse occurred.

"Sister, sister, sister, I have a question."

This was Zongyi's first words after arriving at the Wan'an Bridge collapse site.

This is very religious.

I listened to it a lot, even some variety shows.

"What's the problem?" Meng Xinzhi's answer was the same as usual.

"Why are so many people crying here with red eyes?"

"Because of loss." Meng Xinzhi gave an extremely simple answer.

"If they are so afraid of losing, why don't they take good care of it?" Zong Yi asked quickly, "Then how could they be unprepared?"

"Because the people in the village never thought that Wan'an Bridge would catch fire."

"Isn't this bridge a national cultural relic? How could I not have thought of it? Do the people in the village not care about this bridge at all?" Zong Yi asked three questions.

"You just saw so many people crying, how could you not care?"

"Since you care, why didn't you take fire prevention measures earlier?"

"Sister, let me tell you this." Meng Xinzhi thought for a while and explained: "For the people in Changqiao Village, this bridge has always been there. In their eyes, this is a part of their lives.

Some people don't think this is a great cultural relic. Before the bridge collapsed, they may not have thought that they would care so much."

After hearing this, Zong Yi pursed his lips and shook his head. He was not convinced at first glance.

Meng Xinzhi decided to use as plain language as possible to tell Zong Yi this somewhat profound truth.

"Xiaoyi, is there a sentence in the story you were interested in before that means that only when you leave your homeland can you know what the motherland is and what hometown is?"

"Yeah, that's right, my sister, I can understand this."

"This principle is actually applicable in many places. There are many things in the world we live in that you cannot feel at all when you are in it."

"What about?" Zong Yi asked.

"For example, air." Meng Xinzhi continued to explain: "From the moment you were born, air has been around you. But you don't think there is anything praiseworthy about air, right?"

"Hmm... I guess."

"So, what happens when you lose it?" Meng Xinzhi asked again.

"Losing air? I know this! Without air, human beings can't live more than ten minutes. This still refers to heart death. Brain death is enough to survive for five minutes."

I have read too many 100,000 whys and have a thirst for knowledge. It has the attribute of popularizing science.

"So, this is the same truth." Meng Xinzhi concluded: "A bridge may not be comparable to your hometown, let alone the air. But it is also true that when you lose it, you will understand the existence of this bridge better.

significance."

"Is that so?" Zongyi tried to use her own logic to understand her sister's words, but this time she began to waver.

"Of course it is."

The breeze blew up the hem of Zong Yi's skirt. Meng Xinzhi carefully helped press it down. Looking at the ruins of Wan'an Bridge, she said with emotion: "If Wan'an Bridge still has a chance to be rebuilt. Those who have witnessed this catastrophe

, I will definitely cherish it more.”

"Sister, do you really think so?"

"Really. The protection of intangible cultural heritage has always been a step-by-step process. As more and more people pay attention to these cultural heritages, more and more people will stand up to protect them."

"Okay, my sister, I seem to be convinced by you."

"Soon means you still have questions, right?"

"Yes, yes, my sister, can I ask another historical question?"

This time, Meng Xinzhi did not answer.

Because her father had already sent two messages asking her to take Zongyi back to the RV for dinner.

…

The weather is very sunny today.
