Chapter 147: The Battle of the Peach Blossom Spring

PS: The controversy over the original site of the Peach Blossom Paradise involved in this chapter only represents a personal opinion, and I hope that readers and friends in Youyang and Changde will not misunderstand.

"I'm going to go to Hunan in the next two days, do you want to go with it?" On this day, after Tang Ning tossed on Han Xuewei and Lin Ting's bodies, he asked the two girls while smoking a cigarette afterwards.

"Hey, dear, you seem to like traveling a lot lately, and you're going to Hunan just after coming back from Japan!" Han Xuewei asked curiously.

"I'm going to Hunan this time for business, it's not all for fun, so you just say if you want to go, right?" Tang Ning said unhappily.

Seeing that Tang Ning was a little unhappy, Han Xuewei hurriedly said: "Go, of course you have to go, why let go if you have the opportunity to go out and play." But where are we going to Hunan? Is it Changsha? ā€

Tang Ning shook his head and said: "It's not Changsha, it's Changde, to be precise, it's going to Changde's Peach Blossom Source Scenic Area!" ā€

"Cut, you still said that you didn't go out to play, why do you want to go to the scenic spot if you don't go out to play?" Han Xuewei teased.

"The scenic spot is just a stop, and the main time still has to be in Changde City, in fact, I went there to find people." That's right, in fact, Tang Ning went to Changde to complete this hidden mission, according to the tips given by the system and the patriarch, the descendant of the Tao family he was looking for was in Changde, and there was a very obvious feature.

At this time, Lin Ting, who was behind him, suddenly asked while swiping her mobile phone: "My dear, shouldn't this Peach Blossom Source Scenic Area be in Youyang?" Why do you say it's in Changde? ā€

Before entering "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", Tang Ning had made a preview of this, so he explained: "Although we can't be sure whether there was a Peach Blossom Spring in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, according to the description in the original text of the Peach Blossom Spring, I personally prefer Changde. Of course, Downing's biggest confidence comes from the system prompt, but I can't say that.

"But the Peach Blossom Source Scenic Area in Youyang is a five-A-level scenic spot recognized by the state, and the Peach Blossom Source in Changde is a four-A level, so it is obvious that Youyang is really here." Lin Ting argued unconvinced.

Tang Ning snorted coldly and said: "This kind of assessment can't be completely counted, so what about our XX Island here is still a five-A scenic spot, do you think it's worthy?" Is he embarrassed to stay at the same level as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall? Youyang can be ranked five A, which can only show that they have done a good job in publicity, marketing, construction and service, but if you look at it according to the original text, it is most likely Changde. ā€

Speaking of this, Tang Ning took a sip of Coke and continued: "First of all, you see, "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" is a work of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the protagonist fisherman in it is clearly written that he is from Wuling. According to the Book of Jin - Geographical Chronicles, the current Changde in Hunan and Youyang in Chongqing both belonged to the territory of Wuling County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so in principle, they can be said to be Wuling people.

But here we have to consider the question of a place of governance (a place of governance is equivalent to the capital of a province. The seat of Wuling County is in Linyuan, which is the west of today's Changde City, which is only 65 miles away from the Peach Blossom Source in Changde, and nearly 800 miles away from the Youyang Peach Blossom Spring. From the original text, we can see that the fisherman went to see Taishou almost as soon as he came out of the Peach Blossom Spring, so he was destined to not be able to go too far, so Changde is more in line with the description in the text than Youyang.

In addition, there is a Taoyuan concept that was founded in the Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and is one of the holy places of the Four Great Avenues in China; Moreover, there are the plaques of Taochuan Wanshou Palace written by Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the imperial poems of the Peach Blossom Source written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the ink treasures about the Peach Blossom Source left by literati and ink writers in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties such as Zhang Xu, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Wang Wei, Han Yu, Liu Yuxi, Wang Anshi, Su Dongpo, etc. Therefore, the peach blossom source in Changde has been recognized by the literati as early as ancient times. The Peach Blossom Garden in Youyang was not called this name at all before the development of tourism, so it is relatively more likely to be Changde. ā€

After Tang Ning finished speaking, he saw that the two girls in front of him even had their eyes straight, and after a few seconds, Lin Ting exclaimed: "My dear, you are so powerful, you actually know so much?" ā€

Tang Ning smiled bitterly in his heart, this is the homework I did in advance in order to upgrade the exam, but I didn't expect it to become something to show off in front of you in the end. But on the surface, he still insisted and said: "That's, I know a lot of things, and you will find out slowly in the future!" ā€

When I arrived in Changde, Tangning did not rush to the scenic spot, but first found the local newspaper and local forum to publish a missing person notice, the general content of which was that I was entrusted by an old man to help him find his son and nephew in Changde, and was responsible for transferring the old man's inheritance of 10 million yen. The characteristic is that this person must be a Changde person, surnamed Tao, according to the genealogy there should be a word in the name, if someone helps to find, there will be a heavy thanks!

The reason why Tang Ning posted the advertisement was because he was too lazy to look for it, and he felt that even with these relatively clear clues, it was almost a needle in a haystack in Changde, a city with a population of millions, so it was better to publish the advertisement faster.

In addition, in order to speed up and attract the attention of Dow's descendants, Tang Ning also deliberately marked the inheritance of 10 million yen, which is nearly 600,000 yuan when converted! It's definitely eye-catching, and this can be regarded as Tang Ning's way of expressing his gratitude to the white-haired patriarch for taking care of him. Of course, the "Split the Money" reward for hidden missions is also a great temptation. Then there is the fact that Downing has just returned from Japan, so it is more reasonable to use the excuse of fulfilling the last wish of the old man in Japan, and he has not much else, and the yen can be said to be ......

Seeing the content of Tang Ning's advertisement, Han Xuewei asked curiously: "Hey, dear, when did you encounter this kind of thing in Japan?" How come Tingting and I don't know? ā€

"Of course you don't know, I met this old Mr. Tao when I was out playing at night!" Tang Ning said casually.

"Oh! In this way, I thought you went out at night to follow that Qin Shao, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing! ā€

"What are you kidding? How could someone as upright as me fool around? I—I went to investigate the local folk culture. Tang Ning stubbornly explained, and then changed the topic and said: "Okay, it's almost done here, let's go to Peach Blossom Land to play." ā€

After releasing the advertisement, Tang Ning excitedly took the two girls to visit the Peach Blossom Source scenic spot, but what he didn't expect was that this advertisement caused an uproar when he was playing......

PS: Originally, I wanted to carefully describe the Peach Blossom Land Scenic Area, but after thinking about it, I haven't been there, and it would be a shame to write some jokes according to the scenic spot manual......
