Rather than Christmas, the island's residents pay more attention to the Chinese New Year of the lunar calendar?

It may seem a little incredible, but if you think about it, it's not difficult to understand.

The reason is actually very simple, it is nothing more than an upward and downward effect.

You must know that Lin Zhicheng obtained the ownership of the Nalan Islands by accepting the inheritance. Before him, this territory had been in the hands of the Lin family, who had gone abroad during the Opium War.

Even now, overseas Chinese around the world still pay more attention to the Spring Festival, turning back the time by dozens or hundreds of years, and the Chinese people at that time were more traditional, and naturally paid more attention to these cultures that have been handed down since ancient times.

In other words, even though they have left the motherland since the Opium War, the Lin family living abroad still retains their original customs to a large extent.

In addition to weddings and funerals, the most important thing should be the various customs during the New Year.

Whether it was when he just went abroad, or when he was working hard in Europe, or when he saw the opportunity to exchange all the wealth in his hands for the ownership of the Nalan Islands, and left Europe to become the owner of the island in the Pacific Ocean, the people of the Lin family have never forgotten their identity as the descendants of Yan and Huang, and have always retained the most traditional New Year's customs.

After that, with the passage of time, the process of modernization gradually ushered in. The living habits of the people of the Lin clan on the Nalan Islands have also been affected.

However, no matter how many changes have occurred, they are only limited to the details, and the real most basic, such as the Spring Festival is the biggest festival, and the tombs of the deceased ancestors are to be swept during the Qingming Festival, etc., etc., these parts have not changed.

It was this persistence that gradually affected the residents of the island - at first, the residents of the island were still a little incomprehensible, thinking that the customs and habits of the Lin clan were a little strange, but after a long time, they were not surprised. Later, not only because the Lin clan holds the lifeblood of the island and has a status advantage in the face of other residents, it is naturally envied by the residents, making them unconsciously want to imitate, but also because of the initiative of the Lin clan, gradually, the living habits of the residents on the island have also undergone some changes.

Dozens of hundreds of years have passed, and subtly, a set of unique customs and customs have been formed on the Nalan Islands.

Christmas, which Europeans and Americans attach the most importance to, must be celebrated, and the most important festival in the hearts of Chinese, the Lunar New Year, must also be celebrated.

If you have to divide the high and low, let's put it this way, if the residents attach 100 points to Christmas, then they can pay 150 points to the importance of the Spring Festival. Overall, it's about 1.5 times the feeling.

"Yes." As early as when he took over as the owner of the island, he had heard it by ear, but because there were more and more important things to remember at that time, Lin Zhicheng did not always take this information to heart.

It was only at this point, when he heard Catherine explain again, that he recalled the scene when he was 'in class' and had a more direct sense of the current situation.

"Then you mean, forget about Christmas, if you want to hold an event, it's better to hold it during the Spring Festival, right?"

"If you've decided you're going to have an event, and you're only going to do one." Catherine nodded.

"That's right." Lin Zhicheng lowered his head and pondered. After thinking about it for just two seconds, he unconsciously frowned: "Hiss~~~, I'm in trouble now." ”

If you want to hold a celebration, you will be the organizer and the owner of the island, so you will have to participate in the event together no matter what.

Whether it's a full participation or just showing up at the beginning, in short, on the day of the event, you have to stay on the island and not run around.

But not long ago, Lin Zhicheng called his aunt and father, and agreed to accompany them and take his two cousins to South Korea for the New Year.

In other words, if Lin Zhicheng has to hold an event, then he must make some changes to the New Year's plan that has been set before.

'Why don't you put the event on Christmas?' While thinking about it, such an idea popped into Lin Zhicheng's mind, but just a few seconds later, he overturned the idea.

Hold a big celebration at Christmas, and when it comes to the Spring Festival, you don't do anything, so that the residents go back to their homes for the holiday? If nothing else, residents will have the impression that the new owner is more than Christmas than the Chinese New Year.

It took so long for the ancestors of the Lin family to reverse the concept of the island's residents and make them develop the custom of attaching more importance to the Spring Festival. I sang a reverse tune when I came up? No matter how he thought about it, Lin Zhicheng felt that it was very inappropriate.

'Or take a step back?' I spent the New Year on the island first, and then went to South Korea with my aunt's family to ....... Lin Zhicheng had another thought.

After thinking about it, this plan doesn't seem to be very good.

As early as a century ago, Koreans still valued the lunar Spring Festival, but as Catholicism grew in Korea, Korean customs also changed somewhat. Today, they don't pay so much attention to the Spring Festival, but regard the first day of January in the Gregorian calendar as the first day of the new year.

Whether it is schools, banks, hospitals and other public facilities, or private owners, they all arrange the time for holidays and resumption of work on the premise that 'January 1st is the New Year'.

In other words, if you accompany your aunt's family to spend the New Year on the island, and then go to South Korea to go through the enrollment procedures for your two cousins, it may be too late.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhicheng finally had only one choice left, that is, to go to South Korea in advance, first go through the enrollment procedures for his two cousins, as well as all kinds of chores, and then bring his aunt's family back to the island, and the whole family will celebrate the New Year on the island together.

Since there are no good options, just call.

"Celebrating the New Year on the island?" After listening to Lin Zhicheng's explanation, Lin Jinzhi on the other end of the phone hesitated.

"Aunt, the island is warm, and it is much more comfortable to spend the New Year here. It's too cold in South Korea, and it's no different from the three eastern provinces. In order to convince his aunt, Lin Zhicheng came up with a new reason.

"It's nothing cold or cold. Xiao Cheng, let me ask you, if you go to South Korea at this time, will you be able to see that Sannier? Ignoring the benefits mentioned by Lin Zhicheng, Lin Jinzhi hit the nail on the head and put forward the points she valued the most.

"Uh~." Unexpectedly, my aunt would remember this stubble all the time, and Lin Zhicheng was also a little helpless. However, since it was my aunt who asked, I still have to answer seriously. After thinking about it carefully, he replied with some hesitation: "I can't tell." In South Korea, New Year's Day is celebrated as the New Year's Day, and now that it is the end of the year, there should be a lot of activities. Sunny is a very popular artist, and she may have a lot of work schedules. ”

"That's right......." My aunt's voice sounded a little disappointed: "Then forget it, I won't see that girl anyway, and your aunt and I won't be too lazy to toss around." ”

"Don't, aunt, didn't you say that you would celebrate the New Year together?" Hearing this, it seems that it was rejected along with the proposal to 'go to Naran Island to celebrate the New Year together'. Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"I can't see the girl Sannier again, you alone have nothing to look at......."

“……。” Auntie's tone was like a child, which made Lin Zhicheng cry and laugh a little: "Auntie, people and I are just friends." How can there be someone like you, and you don't ask what people think, just treat them as your niece and daughter-in-law? ”

"Then I don't care, I'm just bored anyway. If I don't have energy, I don't bother to move. ”

These words are repeated over and over again, no matter how Lin Zhicheng persuades him, his aunt Lin Jinzhi just doesn't buy it. In desperation, Lin Zhicheng had no choice but to let her hand over the phone to her aunt, planning to open a breakthrough from her aunt, and then ask him to help persuade her aunt.

"Auntie, this is the case, you help me persuade my aunt."

"Persuade your aunt? I don't have that skills. It's up to you to figure it out. Cao Aiguo pushed it cleanly and didn't answer Lin Zhicheng's words at all.

"If I had an idea, would I need to be in such a hurry? Auntie, you can't just watch the excitement and not help~. ”

“……。” couldn't bear Lin Zhicheng's please, Cao Aiguo could only give him a suggestion: "Xiaocheng, why not?" Didn't you just say that you were going to hold an event on the island during the Spring Festival? I thought, since it's an event, I have to ask someone to perform, right? It just so happened that the girl was an entertainer...... ”

The event was supposed to invite an artist, and Sunny happened to be an artist, if she was invited to participate in the New Year's Eve event on the island as a guest, hehe, judging from my aunt's current attitude, I am afraid that she will not come to the island for the New Year?

didn't expect my aunt to be able to make such a reliable suggestion, Lin Zhicheng jumped up excitedly: "Auntie, it's really yours, hehe, okay, I'll contact Sunny to see if she has any itinerary at that time." If not, I officially contacted her company and invited her to come to the island for the New Year's Eve ....... ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." When I proposed, I just thought that Sunny was an acquaintance of Lin Zhicheng, and if Lin Zhicheng asked her to participate in the event, it shouldn't cost much. But now? It doesn't seem like that.

Thinking of the value of the celebrities he had heard of, Cao Aiguo felt that he might have made a bad idea: "Xiao Cheng, my aunt still thinks that as long as you give her a call, listen to you, it seems that she is planning to take the normal route?" Will it cost a lot of money? ”

"Hey, hey~. Auntie, you can rest assured, they are Koreans, and the appearance fee is not as high as our domestic stars. Besides, I also have to invite some European and American artists to the event here, and Sunny's appearance fee may not even be a fraction of what they do, which is really nothing. ”
