Chapter Eighty-Three: Tomorrow's Rift
According to the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, intangible cultural heritage refers to social practices, conceptual expressions, expressions, knowledge, skills and related tools, objects, artefacts and cultural sites that are considered part of the cultural heritage of communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals. This intangible cultural heritage is passed down from generation to generation and is constantly recreated by communities and groups as they adapt to their surroundings and interact with nature and history, providing them with a sense of identity and continuity, thereby enhancing respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.
It generally includes the following: 1) oral traditions and expressions, including languages as mediums of intangible cultural heritage, 2) performing arts, 3) social practices, rituals and festivals; 4. Knowledge and practice about nature and the universe; 5. Traditional handicrafts.
Hao Ping took a closer look at the intangible cultural heritage declared by the Ming Kingdom. These include the following:
Hanfu: The reason for the Ming Kingdom is that Hanfu has disappeared from the earth for more than 400 years, and only the Ming Kingdom is wearing Hanfu, which belongs to the severely endangered handicraft and national costumes. In addition, Japan is trying to collect signatures from 210,000 people to declare the kimono as a world intangible cultural heritage. The Ming Kingdom also has a reason to join Japan in declaring its national costumes as a world intangible cultural heritage.
Ming-style cuisine, the banquet of the Ming Kingdom in the past few days has allowed the representatives of the United Nations and UNESCO to deeply experience the cuisine of the Ming Kingdom. During this period, the famous chefs of the empire designed and produced dozens of Ming specialties cold dishes, hot dishes, pastry snacks and soups. All of them are not eaten in other countries, including the Chinese mainland. Just this month, Japan successfully inscribed Washoku on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List. With Japan's experience, it will be much easier for Ming Guo to apply again.
Traditional Chinese characters, as the carrier of Chinese, with the implementation of simplified Chinese characters, fewer and fewer people use traditional Chinese characters, and the people of China no longer know traditional Chinese characters, students, teachers, and teachers, and traditional Chinese characters are on the verge of being lost. As the only country in East Asia that has been using ancient traditional Chinese characters for 5,000 years, there is reason to consider it a cultural heritage.
Other aspects are mainly divided into two aspects, the Ming Kingdom lacks everything, that is, there is no lack of cultural heritage, festivals in addition to the Dragon Boat Festival was preemptively declared by China, the Ming Kingdom will have many important traditional festivals in Chinese history, including Yuan Day (Spring Festival), Lantern Festival, Zhonghe Festival, Longtou Festival, Lichun, Cold Food, Qingming, Spring Society, Summer Society, Autumn Society, Winter Society, Bathing Buddha Festival, Mid-Spring, Mengchun, Summer Solstice, Mengxia, Liqiu, Qixi Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Mengqiu, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, Jidong, Mengdong, Winter Solstice, Laba Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, etc.
In terms of etiquette, auspicious rites, fierce rites, Jia rites, guest rites, military rites, crown rites, ritual rites, sacrificial stoves, spring and autumn release ceremonies, welcoming the gods, and royal etiquette (book queen, book prince, birthday book treasure, princess descent, etc.), Si Meng driving out (big drive Lu Bo), southern suburbs ceremony, Ming Hall, heaven and earth.
Ming Guo didn't report too much at once, but only reported the most important 20 items here, and tried to pass them as soon as possible.
Hao Ping sat there and read them one by one, and found that except for the etiquette, he didn't understand, but he also knew that it was from China, and the rest of the festivals were all from China. But he also faced an embarrassment, etiquette has been lost in China, so it means that the Ming Congress has successfully obtained, and the festival in China only the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival still exists, and there are almost no customs in other festivals.
Kong Yankao expressed the hope that UNESCO will help the Ming Kingdom, which must be the cultural heritage of the Ming Kingdom only in the first 700 people on the island, and all of them are endangered.
Hao Ping knew that what he said was serious, but in fact, he was exaggerating, and took out more than 20 items to apply for the intangible cultural relics, everything was pitiful, in fact, everything was not lost, the ultimate goal of the Ming Kingdom was to improve the cultural soft power of the Ming Kingdom, and what worries about the country and the people are all. Like South Korea back then, applying for so many Korean medicine hanbok is not to show that they are literate in the end?
Hao Ping promised to include these in the agenda, and hoped that Ming Guo would prepare the supporting materials for the application for intangible cultural heritage items as soon as possible, and wait for the later review by the United Nations staff.
Zhu Wei knew that in the next year, the Ming Kingdom should make careful preparations to do a good job in these customs, and all units were ready to make every effort to restore the cultural heritage on the declared list, first of all, these will be set as national cultural heritage, and the customs of holidays require the people of the whole country to seriously implement them. The island will be busy in the future.
After the talks, most of the UN staff left Jieying Island, leaving only Pan Qiwen and his family to officially start their holiday on the island.
At this time, another incident happened on the island, so that Zhu Wei had to pay attention to the military on the island, it turned out that the Japanese distant-water fishing fleet actually came to the waters of the Ming Kingdom to fish, and happened to meet the fishing boat of the Ming Kingdom, and the fishing boat immediately reported that it was suspected that the Japanese fishing boat was operating in the exclusive economic zone of the Ming Kingdom.
The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Security of the Empire received the report at the same time, and immediately reported it to Zhongshu Province, and Song Ximo of Zhongshu Province reported it to the Emperor as soon as possible.
According to the International Law of the Sea, 12 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea is the territorial sea of the Ming State, and 200 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea is the exclusive economic zone of the Ming State.
In other words, Japanese fishing boats are fishing in the exclusive economic zone of the Ming country, which is a serious violation of the International Convention on the Law of the Sea, this sea area has always been the original high seas, but now with the Ming country, you come to fish again, it is a little bit of a big pie face.
The State Council of the Ming Dynasty immediately summoned the Japanese ambassador to the Ming Dynasty, Kawamura Jihisa, to express a serious protest against Japan's actions. Soon, Kawamura Jihisa came to the reception room of the State Council of Zhongshu Province.
Shi Hong, the new secretary of state affairs of the empire, threw a set of photos taken by the fishing boat to Kawamura Jihisa: "Mr. Kawamura, please take a look at your Japanese fishing boats, which have entered the exclusive economic zone of our Ming country, and I would like to express my protest to your country and hope that your country can give us an explanation." ”
Kawamura put on a look of surprise, "This is impossible, it must be a misunderstanding, you can't judge the sea area of the incident just by looking at the photos." We cannot accept this evidence from your country. ”
It's obviously a tricky rhythm, Shi Hongdao "Although our Ming country is small, it is not a rogue country, it is impossible to frame it, our fishing boat usually only engages in passenger transportation between Yingzhou and Xuandao, are we still deliberately not successful?" ”
"Lord Shangshu is angry, China's ocean-going fishing boats are very law-abiding, and use the world's most advanced satellite positioning, generally this kind of low-level error will not occur, but your country's fishing boats are old, and it is possible to deviate from the course, so I will immediately call Japan to investigate this matter."
Shi Hong knew that the Ming Kingdom was likely to suffer a dumb loss, and after Kawamura left, Shi Hong reported the matter to the emperor as soon as possible.
This made Zhu Wei furious, the Japanese deliberately came to find trouble while their country was weak and incapable of protecting territorial waters and airspace, it's time to give you some color to see, but there are no ships and planes to protect the waters of the empire at all. This strengthened Zhu Wei's determination to build a navy.
Zhu Wei was not in a good breath, and took a flying saucer into a stealth state and began to search for Japanese ships within the island country to find the field. However, it was a pity that no Japanese planes and ships were found in the Ming Sea, and Zhu Wei headed west again to look for them along the coast of Japan.
As soon as he arrived in the waters of the Ogasawara Islands, three obvious fixed-wing fighter formations appeared on the radar, and Zhu Wei followed firmly behind in a flying saucer to take a look, it turned out to be two F-2 fighters of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, Zhu Wei showed a smile on his face, Ni Mei, let you catch the fish of my Ming country, I will catch your Japanese plane.
Three F-2 fighters were flying in formation, no one noticed that a flying saucer appeared, approaching the rearmost F-2 fighter at high speed, the pilot of this F-2 fighter found it too late, and was quickly sucked into the flying saucer, and then the other two fighters also discovered the existence of the flying saucer, Maritime Self-Defense Force pilot Kato looked at the UFO in front of him and pounced on him, not only startled, but when he contacted the other planes in the formation, he had found that the communication was interrupted, and he was sucked into the black hole before he could react.
The flying saucer absorbed two F-2 fighters of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force in one go, and was not in a hurry to return, so many commodities were synthesized in the past six months, and the energy on the ship was not sufficient, and I had to walk around the Pacific Ocean twice to find a suitable marine garbage dump, Zhu Wei couldn't help but express his great admiration for his lofty sentiments, and I was about to become a garbage cleaner.
The Pacific Ocean has countless and endless energy, and Zhu Wei is looking for it while absorbing the seawater, anyway, today's goal is 2 million energy points.
