Chapter 388: Cultural Infiltration

The singles competition was followed by the team competition, and the Tiandi Club led by Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu won the championship; In the case that the Red Flower Club did not participate in the competition, and there were not enough top masters in Shaolin and Wudang, they picked up a bargain.

After the competition, Lu Feiqing took the opportunity to announce the establishment of the Chinese Guoshu Association on behalf of the government, and invited the people from the rivers and lakes attending the meeting to join the association, Miao Renfeng became the first president of the Chinese Guoshu Association, Yuan Shixiao, Tianjing, Hong Xiguan, Wuchen Daochang and other martial arts celebrities were also invited to serve as vice presidents, and others such as Fang Shiyu and Lin Zhennan also held their respective positions in the meeting.

At the same time, it was announced that the first task of the Chinese Guoshu Association is to determine the location and preparation of the second session of the world's first martial arts meeting next year, and for a time all the heroes of the rivers and lakes have signed up, and the branches have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The people in the rivers and lakes were busy seeking a good position in the Chinese Guoshu Society, and the envoys from the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu, England, France and other countries rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate the matter of inviting these martial arts masters to open martial arts halls in their own countries, among which the goals of the Wa Kingdom were mainly focused on the swordsmanship masters such as Miao Renfeng and Wuchen Daochang, while the English and French were not only swordsmanship masters, but also interested in spear masters such as Hong Xiguan and Lin Zhennan, and they also thought of using this move on bayonets.

"Your Majesty! If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles when it is passed on to foreign countries! After hearing the news, the dustless Taoist immediately rushed to persuade him.

Chen Jialuo doesn't care much about this, with the development of science and technology, the room for martial arts on the battlefield is getting smaller and smaller, and other countries also have their own traditional martial arts, this time is a good opportunity to import Chinese culture to other countries, if you can take advantage of this to introduce a group of scientists from Europe.

"What the Dustless Daoist said is reasonable!". Chen Jialuo knew his temperament, and first encouraged him before saying, "It's just that since these barbarians have the heart to yearn for China, our lord is not suitable to be too stingy, according to my meaning, I can take some seniors with outstanding martial arts to go to various countries to open martial arts halls, and promote the prestige of my Chinese martial arts." ”

Since martial virtue is the primary factor. Then the level of martial arts has become a secondary factor, of course, it is necessary to properly assess, if you are beaten up in the past, it will be too embarrassing, "In my opinion, Tianjing Zen Master and Ma Zhendao are quite willing to let the names of Shaolin and Wudang spread to the world." ”

Feller worked hard to persuade everyone, and Chen Jialuo began to summon all the diplomatic envoys into the main hall, and when they arrived in the main hall, some of these envoys kowtowed, some knelt on one knee, kowtowed to the envoys of the Ryukyus and the Japanese Kingdom, and kneeling on one knee were the envoys of England and France. After the ceremony, Chen Jialuo did not directly start to discuss the issue of sending martial arts teachers to their country to open a martial arts hall, but took them to the courtyard under the pretext of taking them to experience Chinese culture.

The stage had already been set up in the courtyard, Chen Jialuo and all the envoys and officials of the Chinese government sat down as guests and hosts, and the famous characters of the Hui class on the stage had already been prepared, and Chen Jialuo gave an order to start the performance immediately.

Hui Opera is the predecessor of Peking Opera, and now it has developed more maturely, and Chen Jialuo invited all the top artists in Yangzhou this time. The salt merchants of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty know how to enjoy it best, and the level of drama here is also the highest in the country. Chen Jialuo knows which foreigners can't understand the lyrics. Therefore, a few lively martial arts dramas were selected, and then translated to explain to these people.

The envoys of the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus wanted to admire Chinese culture, and the envoys of the two countries naturally took it very seriously, and even the envoys of England and France were only concerned at first out of courtesy, but later they gradually became fascinated by the dazzling movements. When they left, Chen Jialuo also gave them several sets of face masks, and after they returned to China, they also brought the story of Peking Opera to Europe. A few years later, Chen Changgeng led the Sanqing class on a grand European tour, from London and Paris to Rome and Vienna, and was warmly welcomed in every city. Encouraged by this, the Sixi Class, the Hechun Class, the Chuntai Class and other troupes also started their own tours. It had a profound impact on a generation of Europeans.

With the enhancement of China's national strength, Peking Opera gradually overwhelmed opera to become the most influential drama in the world, and many Europeans also joined the ranks of Peking Opera, Puccini even adapted Shakespeare's classic play "Romeo and Juliet" into Peking Opera, and was praised by Peking Opera legend Tan Xinpei, and later was the first film in Europe; In terms of fame, there are also many talents in Europe, and Zhang Fei of the Italian martial artist Pavarotti is known as a must, even surpassing most of the native Chinese Peking Opera artists, which has attracted the pride of Italians.

After watching the Peking Opera, Chen Jialuo took them to appreciate the full set of Chinese classical tea art, and after drinking, the envoys of England and France were deeply overwhelmed by the beauty contained in the tea ceremony, and for a while they felt that the so-called nobles on their territory added various ingredients to the tea was simply a tyrannical thing, and sure enough, the nouveau riche and the nobles with a long history are incomparable!

After tasting tea, it is to appreciate the incense, by the special incense master first take a pair of Qingming Shanghe map copied by the ancients and spread it on the table, and then take a incense burner left by the previous dynasty and put it on the ancient painting, and then use incense chopsticks to compact the incense ash in the furnace and dig out a small hole, light the charcoal and put it in the small hole, and then cover the mica piece, and finally put the agarwood cut into thin slices on the mica sheet, and everyone tastes the fragrance of agarwood lightly.

In the end, of course, the Chinese cuisine was the finale, and the cooks found from the salt merchants' mansions output the work of pressing the bottom of the box, making famous dishes such as boiled dried shreds, squirrel osmanthus fish, and stewed lion's head, so that these messengers almost ate their tongues.

After such a few rounds of Chinese culture display, these envoys were dizzy and had a deep admiration for Chinese culture, and then Chen Jialuo finally agreed to their proposal to invite martial arts masters to open martial arts halls in their country, and one by one the masters who had been reviewed and trained by the Red Flower Society embarked on the road to a foreign country. Not only did they spread martial arts to the world, but they also used tea ceremony, calligraphy, Chinese painting and other means to show their disciples and visitors the charm of Chinese culture.

In the 21st century, Chen Jialuo's descendants wondered why their ancestors had worked so hard to get valuable European paintings such as Rubens and Vermeer from Europe and treasure them, but now Tang Bohu, who has sold hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars, was given away by him.

Not only painting, but also taekwondo, karate, and judo in the world have never spread to other countries, and the mainstream fine music has become Chinese folk music instead of Western symphony, and Chinese culture has become the most popular culture in the world. (To be continued......)
