Chapter 102: Turkmenistan

The plane landed at Ashgabat Airport in Turkmenistan, and Professor Amis who was waiting at the airport came to pick him up.

"Professor Zhang called me and informed me to pick me up, you are reporter Zhou Sen, right?"

"Yes, Professor Amis, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Zhou Sen shook hands with Professor Amis, and the casual interview team members also shook hands with Professor Amis.

"Welcome to our country, the car has stopped outside the airport gate, let's go, I'll take you to the car!"

Professor Amis was very enthusiastic and led Zhou Sen out and asked his entourage to help everyone carry their luggage.

There were many cars parked outside the airport gate, and it could be seen that the reception of Zhou Sen was still prepared and very enthusiastic about Zhou Sen.

After getting into the car, Zhou Sen and Professor Amis sat in the back row, and Amis began to introduce the country.

"Welcome to our country, I am really happy to see Chinese friends, this opportunity is rare, I have been to China before, President Zhang warmly received me, this opportunity for me to repay Chinese friends. ”

"Turkmenistan is a Central Asian country located north of Iran, bordering Afghanistan to the southeast, Uzbekistan to the northeast, Kazakhstan to the northwest, and the sea to the west. ”

"Although Turkmenistan is one of the driest regions in the world, it is rich in oil and natural gas resources, ranking fifth in the world in terms of natural gas reserves, and Turkmenistan is rich in mineral resources, in addition to oil and natural gas, there are also miscanthus salt, iodine, non-ferrous metals and rare metals. ”

"The oil and gas industry is the backbone of our country, and in this respect, we are similar to Russia, while agriculture is dominated by cotton, wheat, rice, and animal husbandry. ”

"Our country also has a history, a lot of history has left behind information, for archaeologists to find, and has experienced a lot of things, it is still very emotional to say, and it is precisely because of this history, and the things handed down by our ancestors, that the current civilization has been formed, which has shaped us and the current situation of this country. ”

Zhou Sen asked, "Professor Amis, what is the climate like in this country?"

"Turkmenistan is located in the center of the Asian continent, so it has a typical temperate continental climate, it is one of the driest regions in the world, with an average annual temperature of 14°C-16°C, a large temperature difference between day and night and winter and summer, and summer temperatures can reach more than 35°C for a long time. ”

"Our place, is the temperature difference between day and night, the temperature difference between winter and summer is particularly large, this climate is really uncomfortable, the summer is very hot, the winter is very cold, in comparison, or the climate in southern China is much better than ours here, I heard that many southern cities in China are like spring all year round?"

"Yes!" Zhou Sen nodded, "Many southern cities in China are still very suitable for living, the climate is warm, the temperature difference is not very large, like Kunming, Yunnan Province, which has the reputation of four seasons like spring, which is very suitable for living and living. ”

"Oh, I've been to China, the last time I went to study and exchange, it was Dean Zhang who received us, I have been to several cities in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Kunming, Yunnan haven't been to yet, China is too big, there are many cities are very famous, I still want to go to China again to see if I have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Welcome, welcome, can you tell us a little more about the population of Turkmenistan, I heard that the population of this country has exceeded more than five million?"

"Yes, Turkmenistan also has a large population, the main ethnic groups are Turkmen, Uzbeks, Russians, as well as Kazakhs, Armenians, Tatars, Azerbaijani and other ethnic groups. ”

"Professor Ames, I noticed that on the street, men and women dress differently?" Zhou Sen asked curiously, and he saw that the pedestrians outside the car window were wearing clothes that were very different from those of Chinese.

"Yes, this is still exquisite, and the national costume of the Turkmen men is a tall hat sewn in black, white and brown sheepskin, a long shirt with a well-groomed neckline, fat trousers and an oriental robe. ”

Turkmen women often wear long ankle-length dresses with elaborate embroidered necklines, Turkmen girls like to wear headscarves, braided hair and various decorations in their hair, they usually sew clothes from bright colors such as green, purple and blue, and wear oriental robes in winter and spring. ”

"The decoration of the bride here is different from that of other countries, and the decoration of the Turkmen bride is known for its unique and intricate decoration, usually these ornaments are made of gold, silver, copper, iron and other metals, among which the most important are headdresses, forehead ornaments, hair ornaments, chest ornaments, wrist ornaments and rings. ”

The bride was dressed in an oriental silk robe and wore a triangular sachet to ward off evil spirits, often with verses or aphorisms written on it, and made of leather and silk. ”

"You like silk here, too?"

"Yes, under the influence of China's Silk Road, our girls here also like silk, silk is the best fabric in the fabric, the texture is soft, there is a silk luster on the outside, it looks very luxurious, it is very comfortable to wear, it can breathe and absorb sweat. ”

"I see that you young Chinese people are influenced by the West, and when they get married, they like to wear Western evening dresses and wedding dresses, men wear black suits or evening dresses, and women wear white wedding dresses, which are romantic and beautiful. ”

"But I also think that the decoration of the bride and groom in our country also has our characteristics, but this decoration has not affected the world so much, and young people in many regions still learn from the West and advocate this so-called fashion, and even I see that you Chinese young people get married, and rarely wear your traditional Chinese clothes?"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, China is still greatly influenced by the West, the groom and bride's clothing in the West, men wear suits, women wear white wedding dresses, symbolizing the loyalty and purity of marriage, white wedding dresses, the bride looks more generous, beautiful, young people catch up with the fashion psychology, in fact, I think our traditional Chinese wedding clothes, red looks more festive." ”

"Many Chinese young people, when they get married, not only wear Western clothes to the photo studio to take pictures, but also wear Chinese traditional clothes to take pictures, and I found that China's big cities are more fashionable in concept and more receptive to Western foreign culture, while in many marginal rural areas in China, young people still wear traditional Chinese clothes when they get married. ”

"For them, getting married is a great joy, the whole body is dressed in red, auspicious, blessings to the newlyweds, love and love, happy and happy life in the future, early birth of noble sons, etc., there are good blessings, but also metaphors. ”

Professor Amis nodded, "Yes, no matter what country, what clothes the bride and groom wear, they all have good wishes, they all hope that the married life will be happy and happy, and they hope to spend their lives smoothly, be with their families, have family reunions, and be happy. ”
