"Sister, it seems that we have to take a lunch break every day, why don't we go find a small shop to rest before moving on to the next destination," Qingqing proposed because he felt very sleepy.

"Okay, let's go." The sisters went to three or four houses and settled on a small shop called "Glow".

"Boss, may I ask how much we charge for half an hour in your inn?" "Two people paid a total of 20 copper coins." The boss said with a smile.

So, the sisters washed their feet with hot water, felt a little more comfortable, and told the younger two to wake up.

Half an hour passed, and the sisters were refreshed.

Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why do you say that taking a nap is so magical?" ”

Qingqing thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, the Chinese have paid attention to sleeping "noon nap", which seems to have raised the noon nap and night sleep to the same status; In recent years, the Great Song Dynasty has set off a "nap movement", and some states and counties have even written napping into the law, which is enforced by the government. Regarding the nap part, it is an exaggeration to say that "there are too many to mention", so let's use "can be enumerated".

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that 11 p.m. to 1 p.m. is the time when the body's yang energy is at its peak, and sleep at this time has the effect of regulating the balance of yin and yang, making people refreshed and energetic. In addition, there is an endless stream of research on the benefits of napping in China. First, if the work pressure is high and the blood pressure rises, you may wish to take a nap, which will help lower blood pressure; The second is to protect the heart. One study showed that taking a 30-minute nap at least three times a week reduced the risk of sudden death from heart disease by 37%; There is also evidence that the incidence of coronary heart disease is much lower in countries and regions with lunch break habits than in countries that do not nap. Researchers believe that this may be due to the fact that a nap can soothe the cardiovascular system and reduce human tension. Fourth, to improve immunity, 1 o'clock at noon is a significant peak of sleep during the day. At this time, taking a short nap can effectively stimulate lymphocytes in the body and enhance the activity of immune cells; Fifth, napping in the afternoon can improve mood, reduce tension and relieve stress; "Qingqing has read a lot of books on health care, and it is the first thing to say.

"No wonder it's like putting oil on a horse lantern." Ling'er sincerely admired the lunch break.

The sisters washed some cold water on their faces, suddenly felt refreshed, rented a fast horse, and in a short time, they had arrived in Sanmenxia City.

"Sister, you said that we should continue to go, or go on a study tour." Ling'er was afraid that her sister's plan to learn martial arts would be delayed.

"How many trips can you have in life? How many times can you get drunk in life? So, if you come, you can swim, just pay attention to improving efficiency. "Qingqing has always had a unique opinion.

"Sister, why don't I buy a booklet about the local area and read it slowly."

Subsequently, Ling'er cut down 5 Wenqian and bought a booklet for 10 Wen.

"In order to protect yourself and your health, I will keep guard, and you will read to me." Qingqing commanded.

Sanmenxia is located in the west of Henan Province, located at the junction of Henan, Jin and Shaanxi provinces in the Central Plains, an important town in western Henan, adjacent to Luoyang City, the thousand-year-old imperial capital in the east, connected with Nanyang City in the south by Funiu Mountain, looking at the ancient city of Chang'an in the west, and echoing with the Sanjin Dynasty across the Yellow River in the north, it is the economic and cultural center of the junction of the three provinces in history. Sanmenxia City has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. As early as ancient times, the ancestors of the Chinese nation lived and multiplied here, creating a splendid primitive culture. Every year from the beginning of winter to the beginning of spring, this beautiful city always welcomes Siberian friends ----- white swans. On the surface of the vast and clear lake in the Sanmenxia reservoir area, thousands of white swans are free to fly, float, play in the water, forage for food, and recuperate peacefully, so Sanmenxia also has the reputation of 'Swan City'.

Every year after the winter to the early spring of the next year, this period of wind and snow season, white swans, these holy fairy birds, on the paradise-like lake surface, or fly, or swim, or walk, or lie down, in a thousand postures, constitute a pair of moving pictures, become a beautiful landscape of Sanmenxia, attract tourists from all over the world to watch, endlessly.

This group of white swans from Siberia, the reason why they come to Sanmenxia every year as scheduled to spend the winter, is because the mountains and rivers of Sanmenxia are beautiful, the lake is vast, the water and grass are beautiful, the food is sufficient, the broad masses of people in the state and county advocacy, establish a good sense of ecological protection, and take appropriate measures to protect birds, creating a fairy tale world where people and birds live in harmony. Ling'er wanted to take a break.

"It's really a swan's paradise, and it's so happy to be a swan." Ling'er was in a reverie.

"The swan is so beautiful, noble and elegant, who wouldn't want to be it?" Qing Qing whispered.

"Please read on."

"The cemetery of the nobles of the Kingdom of Yu is located in the north of Sanmenxia City, with a total area of 580,000 square meters, and there are 142 tombs of various nobles in the 140,000 square meters drilled by the cultural relics department. Among them, there are 19 large and medium-sized tombs, 12 carriage and horse pits, and more than 50 sacrificial pits of other types.

Among the nine tombs that have been excavated and cleaned, there are two tombs of the monarch, one tomb of the prince, one tomb of the concubine, and two carriage and horse pits. A total of more than 17,000 pieces of cultural relics in nine categories, including copper, iron, jade, stone, gold, pottery, wood, leather, and linen, have been unearthed. Yongzhong is the only complete set of tombs excavated in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. The gold band composed of twelve gold objects is rare in the archaeology of the Zhou Dynasty. A large number of precious weapons, especially the unearthed jade handle copper-core iron sword, has been identified as the earliest artificial iron smelting object in China, and its discovery traces the age of Chinese iron smelting back more than a century, which can be called 'China's first sword'. ”

"If you visit this 'China's first sword', and thus snub our 'sharpening steel like mud', wouldn't you put the cart before the horse, lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, I'm afraid you can't go." Qingqing is always infatuated, even if it is for things.

"Alas, these cultural relics are a kind of beautiful heaviness, and this dusty old thing of the past can only evoke people's sighs of vicissitudes. Don't swim, don't swim. ”

"I also want to study easily, I don't want to be heavy, sister, you're right, you can't swim there!"

"Folk traditional crafts mainly include paper-cutting, cloth art, root carving, brand painting egg carving, shadow puppetry, stone inkstone, face sculpture, etc. more than 20 kinds, modern crafts mainly include bronze imitation, craft mirror, straw painting and so on more than 10 kinds, folk culture mainly has more than 50 kinds of 6 categories such as social fire, Yangge, folk houses, temple fairs, etc.

There are 27 kinds of operas, such as Henan Opera, Qin Dialect, Yue Tune, Pu Opera, Flower Drum Opera, Meihu, Yanggao Opera, Gong and Drum Opera, and Shadow Puppet Opera. The operas with distinctive local characteristics include Henan Opera and Yanggao Opera, forming a rich and diverse art form. ”

"For drama, we only know that the actors are carefully dressed up and sung into it, but no matter how much we put it in, we don't know what to sing, it's just a lively visual feast." Qingqing thought it was boring.

"Then let's learn an art category that shows ingenuity."

"Then hurry up, without further ado, hurry up." Qing Qing sang.

"The dragon is in the sky, plus the tiger has long wings." Ling'er and Dao.

The sisters walked briskly to a large shop called "Seven Tricks Linglong".

An old woman with a childish face that you can't guess her age, and two apprentices next to her.

I saw that the old woman looked focused, and the scissors seemed to be longer than her, and maybe even thunder could not bear to chop the mortal dust; The dancing scissors, after a while, a realistic lotus flower bloomed between the fingers, with the flow of clouds and water to describe it is probably unattainable, really grow a seven-trick heart!

Qingqing was stunned and fixed.

"Old woman, can you teach us how to cut paper?" Qingqing asked tentatively.

"But you can, but in order to make you cherish the paper and cherish my labor, please pay 1 penny before you cut each piece of paper." The old woman did not raise her head and continued to cut paper.

"Don't say 1 penny, we're willing to pay 10 yuan." Qing Qing Committee bent to seek the whole way.

After about half an hour of studying, the sisters spent 12 copper coins to finally cut a random flower, a flowing cloud, and a flying bird.

"Although the cut is not as lifelike as the old woman, it has also achieved some results. Okay, thank you, master, we take our leave. The sisters reluctantly said goodbye.

"Sister, the book says that the city tree in Sanmenxia City is actually a cedar."

"Let's go and visit the gentleman in the tree."

The sisters came to the cedar tree.

"You see, this cedar is tall and beautiful, and it deserves to be a world-famous ornamental tree. The large branches at the bottom of the trunk are flat from the ground and do not wither for many years, forming a lush and majestic canopy, so it has an indomitable fighting spirit. In addition, they are planted on both sides of the garden road to form a corridor, which is also extremely spectacular. Cedar wood is solid and densely grained, and is used for construction, bridges, sleepers, shipbuilding, etc. It is known as the world's top five garden tree species along with giant sequoia, Japanese golden pine, archic pine, and golden pine. Ling'er pointed to the cedar while reading the book and explained to her sister.

"The high-quality apples based on the rivers and mountains of Lingbao Temple are well-known at home and abroad, and Lingbao jujube is famous; Yangshao apricots are unique to the country, and the ox heart persimmon cake is an ancient tribute; Lushi Mountain is known as the 'natural Chinese medicine storehouse', and fungus, monkey's head, walnut, chestnut, kiwifruit, etc. enjoy a good reputation in the country. ”

"Eating Yangshao apricots is eating a culture; Eating the concubine apricot is eating a blessing, an identity, and a beauty, which seems to be of great benefit; Beef heart persimmon sounds more interesting, after eating it, will it be as carefree as a cow? Will it be as broad-minded as a cow's heart? Qingqing laughed at himself deeply.

"Sister, I can't imagine that Yueji is its city flower, known as the 'Queen of Flowers', do you call her 'Yueyuehong'?" Ling'er asked.

It seems that her reputation has risen all over the world. No matter how cold the weather is, the wind and the snow are pressing, the moon season will be proudly open, and she is also like a cedar, with an indomitable spirit. Qingqing sincerely admired.

The sisters smell the fragrance and enjoy the flowers, standing next to a few blooming moon trees. The thorns on the branches silently say: You can see from afar, but you can't blaspheme. Sweet flowers are a powerful sign of their own vitality and youthfulness.

"Sister, you must not know that Yueji is also divided into eight sisters, such as cut flowers, edible, vines, large flowers, abundant flowers, miniature, tree-like and ground cover."

"I really don't know, it seems that Yueji is also a small daughter country, which is unforgettable!" Qingqing was excited.

"The moon flower is still the northern system of the Chinese ancestors - equivalent to the totem plant of the legendary Yellow Emperor tribe." Ling'er read excitedly.

"I can't imagine that she is so mysterious, so remarkable, so noble, so sacrosanct." Qing Qing said four 'so' in a row.
