Chapter 593: Finding a Soulmate

Because many Chinese people are promoted by domestic textbooks, many people subconsciously think that foreign textbooks are the same as Chinese textbooks, which will roughly explain the history of all countries in the world, just like Chinese history textbooks, and have an explanation for influential countries all over the world.

But that's not the case.

The world history of many Western countries is an optional reading, and some are not listed in the textbooks at all, even if some countries explain world history, it is mainly to explain the history of the Western world and the influence of the West on the world in modern times.

Some time ago, the organizers of the Olympic Games once conducted an investigation and interview around the world, when the reporter asked the French people in France about the perception of China, a middle-aged woman talked eloquently, "China is the most populous country in the world, they have a history of more than 300 years, their kung fu is very famous, my two favorite actors are Chinese people, they are Guo Dalu and Wang Xiaolu ......"

See, these people don't even know how many years of history Huaxia has, some people think that Huaxia has a history of two or three hundred years all their lives, and most foreigners still think that Huaxia is still a poor and backward place.

And when the reporter asked them where the capital of China was, nearly eighty percent of the foreigners couldn't say it, and even if they asked them to talk about the big cities that China is famous for, they were all speechless and at a loss.

There is a world of difference between the foreign cultural environment and the domestic cultural cognition, and it is too naïve and taken for granted if the domestic cognition is substituted for foreign cultural propaganda.

At this time, seeing the Sinan, papermaking and movable type printing presented in the party scene, whether it was the foreigners on the scene, or the foreigners who watched the live broadcast in front of the screen, most of them were extremely surprised, they only found out that the papermaking, printing, and compass were all invented by Huaxia, which simply subverted their cognition!

Because it is an Olympic party, the main focus is peace and friendship, and the gunpowder in the four major inventions of China, this time Guo Dalu did not show it, after all, this gunpowder has basically become synonymous with weapons of war, and it is displayed at this time, which is a bit inconsistent with the theme style.

However, the fireworks lit at the scene have actually shown the use of gunpowder to the audience watching the live broadcast, as long as those who are interested in fireworks have a rough understanding, they will know the origin of fireworks, and the origin of the original gunpowder.

The four major inventions of China are basically known to everyone, even three-year-old children can sometimes say them decently, but for foreign countries, few people know about them.

It wasn't until after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that those foreigners knew that the things that everyone was accustomed to in their lives were all from China!

The scene of the performance.

When the paper in mid-air is pushed into the air by the movable type clay plate below, the large paper turns into white fragments of bright light and slowly disappears.

At the same time, the music around the audience disappeared abruptly, the lights dimmed, and a pillar of light shone obliquely from a distance on an octagonal pavilion that appeared on the ground at some point. Beside him, a man in a long robe and a beard stood with his hands in his hands, as if listening to the sound of the harp.

"Now we are playing our Chinese guqin song, "Mountains and Flowing Water"!"

Bai Siming hurriedly explained: "The story of Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya, I believe everyone is familiar with it, today we are opening the Olympic Games in China, it is the best time to seek bosom friends from all over the world, we are Zhong Ziqi, we look forward to Yu Boya's arrival!"

"The person who plays the guqin on the spot is my country's guqin master Guan Zhizhong, this guqin master, but also Guo Dalu director invited from the people, it is said that he is the master of Huaxia Qingyin Gate, in the guqin attainments, it is said that he is the second person in China, Director Guo Dalu said, with him, this Guan Zhizhong can only be the second person, haha, Director Guo Dalu is sometimes so humorous!"

"The seven-string guqin in the hands of Master Guan Zhizhong, it is said that it has been passed down for thousands of years, called the phoenix tail qin, is a priceless treasure, if it were not for this Olympic Games, Master Guan Zhizhong would not be willing to play it!"

In the scene, the sound of the piano was melodious, such as singing jade, such as knocking on the jade chime, and the sound of the piano was like a cool stream, slowly flowing around the arena and pouring into the hearts of the audience.

At this time, the weather is hot, and although the gymnasium is extremely huge, more than 100,000 people gather together, and the heat emitted is very warm even in winter, let alone in today's hot weather.

Most of the audience at the scene were each holding a plastic fan with Chinese style, fanning the wind while watching the show, many fat people were sweating hot, and their clothes were soaked.

However, after the sound of the piano in the scene sounded, it was like a clear spring immersed in the hearts of the audience, and in an instant, the 108,000 pores of the whole body trembled, and a refreshing feeling instantly filled the whole body, and the heat disappeared.

When many people watched the performance, their emotions were a little restless, but now after the piano sounded, everyone's mood suddenly calmed down, and the whole body was like soaking in water, and it was indescribably comfortable.

The scene slowly quieted down, even the commentators from various countries also roughly explained a few words, but also surprisingly quiet, they have never heard this wonderful piano sound, if you let everyone say how good the piano sound is, most people can't say it, they just think it's good.

Until the performance of this "Mountains and Flowing Water" was played, everyone at the scene was still immersed in the afterglow of the piano sound.

I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until the robed man who was playing the qin stood up with the qin, and the man in the robe next to him was holding the pen and painting, that everyone slowly came back to their senses.

"Wonderful sound!"

"It's music to heaven!"

"Only the gods can play such music that hits the heart!"

"The Vienna Musikverein can't hold this fountain of music!"

After coming back to their senses, the commentators from all over the world were excited, "This is the real music master!"

"I've never heard such a beautiful piece of music! it can even affect people's hearts and souls, and even spread to the whole body!"

After a period of chaos at the scene, calm was restored.

Huaxia commentator Bai Siming's voice was already a little hoarse, "The sound of the piano just now can simply drown people's souls, and I have never heard such beautiful music." I've heard this song "Mountains and Flowing Water" around other music masters before, but compared with Master Guan Zhizhong, it's really ...... The difference is huge!"

His brain reacted quickly, and he originally wanted to say that those music masters were not half a star worse than Guan Zhizhong, but suddenly reacted, and now he is broadcasting the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
