Chapter 689: Exhibitions and Memories of Tokushima City Park (Part I)
Holding a comic convention in Tokushima City has always been a bit of a headache - it's not that there are any restrictions on holding anime exhibitions in policy, but there are few places in Tokushima City that can accommodate comic conventions, and ordinary gymnasiums and the like can hold small-scale fandom exhibitions, and it is difficult to hold regular comic conventions on a larger scale in ordinary gymnasiums......
Due to these troublesome established situations, every time Tokushima City holds a large-scale comic exhibition, it has always been held outdoors, such as in May Fourth Square, or in the beach, in short, it is an open-air place with enough area for a large group of people to squeeze in, which can also solve the most common air circulation problem and temperature problem in indoor stadiums, so as to avoid any heat stroke incidents for exhibitors. Of course, holding a comic con outdoors also has the disadvantage of being outdoors, that is, you have to look at God's face, once the old man is in a bad mood, spit on a rainstorm or sneeze and blow a strong wind, then the comic con can only be postponed......
Not only that, but the summer in Tokushima City is the time of year when the most manga exhibitions are held, and the natural outdoor temperature is not low, that is, there is no particularly hot feeling in the coastal environment, but it is still easy to get heat stroke or faint if you stay outdoors, especially if you do a lot of physical exercise, so there are quite a few NPCs and volunteers in the middle of the Tokushima City Comic Con, just to prevent this from happening, so that the exhibitors who faint and suffer from heat stroke can be sent to the emergency department for help and rest as soon as possible, so as to avoid more problems。 Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Longde, Weisk and others have not participated in various comic exhibitions held in their hometown before, and the venue is basically either the first beach or on May Fourth Square, this time the organizers uncharacteristically chose to hold a comic exhibition in Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City, which really surprised them a little, but they soon didn't care too much, and after gathering the members of the original iron-blooded club who decided to come this time, they began to line up in an orderly manner after taking their luggage.
Nakayama Park is the largest comprehensive park in Tokushima City, surrounded by mountains on three sides, while the remaining south side faces the sea. This natural park is one of the most distinctive areas in Tokushima City, with its lush forests and foliage. Tokushima City Park is adjacent to Taipingshan Mountain in the east, adjacent to the Tokushima Botanical Garden, north of Tokushima Zoo and Tokushima Beech Forest Park, and west of Hyakkaen, where nearly 100 kinds of trees in the Hundred Flower Garden are connected with the four-season flowers and trees in Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park.
Nakayama Park in Tokushima City was built in the early 20th century and was originally an ordinary village with more than 360 households, many of whom made their living from fishing. In 1898, when Germany forcibly occupied Qinghai Province and coerced the Qing government to lease Dedao, the German colonists acquired all the land of the village in 1902 and 1905 into their own hands, and demolished the abandoned village to open up a plant testing ground, of which the forest garden covers an area of about 1 million square meters, and the fruit tree garden covers an area of about 10,000 square meters, gathering more than 170 kinds of trees and 230,000 flowers from all over the world. Among these various flowers, the most distinctive is the 20,000 cherry blossoms transplanted from Japan, which make up the most unique scenery here, and gradually became a park dominated by trees, orchards, and flowers, and was later named "Forest Park". After the 1914 Russo-German War, Japan ruled Tokushima on behalf of Germany, and further expanded the planting of cherry blossoms here, forming a cherry blossom promenade nearly one kilometer long and running through the north and south of the park, and the park was also renamed "Kaizen Park" and "Asahi Park". As an interlude, although Tokushima is the traditional place name here, for the Japanese who came here instead of the German colonists at that time, the name Tokushima is also the name of a city located at the mouth of the Yoshino River in the northeastern part of their own country-Shikoku region, so they naturally have a certain sense of identity and homesickness, and they will go to great lengths to run the place like the original German colonists, making the land more and more multicultural.
In 1922, after China regained sovereignty over Tokushima, it was renamed "First Park", and in May 1929 it was renamed "Zhongshan Park" in honor of Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of China's modern revolution, and has been used ever since. After the end of the Liberation War, the Tokushima City Government further planned and built the park, making the park landscape more and more perfect, and it became an influential comprehensive park in Japan.
Directly opposite the gate of Nakayama Park in Tokushima City is the famous Cherry Blossom Road, which leads directly into the zoo and becomes the main road of Nakayama Park, and the cherry blossoms on both sides of the puppet are overlapped to form a beautiful cherry blossom promenade. Every 20 days around May Day, Tokushima City's unique annual cherry blossom festival is held, and the people of Tokushima almost fall out of the city, and the cherry blossom road is crowded with people. There is an atmosphere of "moving the capital when the flowers are in bloom", and the pale pink single-petaled cherry blossoms and light red double-petaled cherry blossoms that are piled up here are all vibrant, making Nakayama Park in Tokushima City a dreamy and charming place at this time.
Not only that, but the annual summer lantern festival and late autumn chrysanthemum exhibition in Tokushima City Zhongshan Park are also the most popular events for locals: every summer night, Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park is lit up with various official lanterns, yarn lanterns, boat lanterns, and traditional lanterns from Chengdu, Zigong, Nanjing, and other places. The park lantern festival was first held in 1979, and since then it has become more and more prosperous year by year, and has become another large-scale garden event comparable to the cherry blossom festival, and the Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition has been held as early as the 50s, and in 1957 it has fully exhibited more than 700 varieties, but it was forced to be interrupted in a special year of the Great Movement, and later in 1977 the first Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition was held after this historic farce and madness...... Since then, the annual Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum Exhibition has exhibited more than 700 varieties, and the purple handsome flag, the black ink lotus, and the mandarin duck spreading its wings and the heavenly horse forcing the wind have become the treasures of the chrysanthemum that are deeply loved by people.
In addition, in the spring of 1995, Dutch tulips were introduced into Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park, and after the successful large-scale planting, clusters of tulips bloomed in Tokushima City's Zhongshan Park around May Day. The smooth lawn and tall trees make Tokushima Nakayama Park an exotic place for visitors to stop and take photos, and the tulips soon become another spectacular sight in Tokushima Nakayama Park, following the cherry blossom viewing festival and the autumn chrysanthemum exhibition.
It's a pity...... Cherry blossoms and tulips have already passed their flowering season this year, and chrysanthemums will have to wait at least another month, not to mention that the meaning of the latter is completely off the beaten track...... The Tokushima Beer Festival, which is now unique to Tokushima City, is held in May Fourth Square and other coastal attractions, and will not be held in Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City, so Feng Longde and the others are just visiting the exhibition and playing small-scale mock battles with the old brothers of the original Iron and Blood Society, and if they want to participate in other local activities held during this time, they will wait for the end of today's comic exhibition to see them.

"I didn't expect the anime exhibition here to be very lively......" Following Feng Longde and the others after lining up and checking the tickets into Zhongshan Park in Tokushima City, Hatsune Miku looked at the various Cosers and exhibitors around him and said, his tone sounded a little excited, "Although it is not as large as Comiket, there are many people at this level!"
"After all, Huaxia is still the mainstream concept, thinking that anime, games, two-dimensional, ACG, etc. are all played by children, so there is no such natural environment in Japan and the related atmosphere that has gradually been cultivated, no way. Hearing Hatsune Miku's words, Weisk on the side spread his hands and replied, and under the cover of the big sunglasses he was wearing, he frequently glanced at the many scantily clad female cosers around, "In addition, there are too many relevant regulations now, so the comic exhibition here in China is the current scale...... But I remember hearing Zhu Henghong, a Chinese kid, say that the official comic conventions held in Huadu are rented from the Olympic Village and some extra-large venues as exhibition venues, and as a result, every time they hold an official comic exhibition there, half of the city explodes...... Of course, the public bus system exploded, and at least half of the passengers in taxis, buses, subways, and urban railways were either Cosers or exhibitors and stall owners......
"Eh, is that so...... Hatsune Miku sighed curiously, and then looked at the crowds of people and the various stalls and shops along the road, "But it's also very good! There aren't too many people, it's not too hurried or too noisy, and it looks orderly......"
"So if Comic Con is small-scale, it also has the advantage of being small-scale, at least it won't be noisy like a vegetable market, which will test people's nervous tolerance too much. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and replied, he had been habitually adjusting the position of the knight's sword and one-handed battle axe on his belt from time to time as he followed the big guy forward, this was an instinctive action he had developed from too many battles. Anyway, I'm quite used to this kind of comic convention that doesn't have a particularly large number of exhibitors, and the scale is decent, if it were as large as Japan's Otaku Jihadi Comiket or the official comic conventions held in Huadu and other first-tier cities, I seriously doubt that I would die in line or be forced to suffer from heat stroke in the venue......"
"That's right, Uncle Feng. Hatsune Miku nodded, she and her V family brothers and sisters were basically active in Tokyo when they didn't enter Gensokyo before, almost every time Comiket they would go in as Cosers, naturally they knew very well what it meant to be a real 'crowd of people', "So the comic convention here is not too big in terms of scale, just right......"
"Hey, Lao He, sometimes you don't have to complain about something, after all, ......" Seeing that Hatsune Miku and Feng Longde were also talking and laughing, Weisk twisted his neck and snorted, "You don't have to worry about a certain aspect at all now, so sometimes don't think about complaining about a certain aspect twice, otherwise you will make me, a real single lone wolf, feel......
"I don't understand what you mean by Lao Wei, you kid...... Besides, have I complained during this time? Why haven't I been impressed?" Feng Longde glanced at Weisk suspiciously, he knew that this thing had never been about his two of the same kind who didn't have a girlfriend or about his old sister Caroline, but just now these words made him a little confused about what he wanted to say," Don't talk so much nonsense, Lao Wei, today is a rare time when we can spare time to hang out after all the business is done, let's concentrate on visiting the exhibition and playing mock battles, after all, it is not easy to gather the old guys of our original club, and having fun is the right thing. ”
"Ha, that's right, Lao He. Weisk spread his hands, "Let's go to Comic Con, to put it bluntly, isn't it legal and reasonable to find a suitable place to gather for a spar practice? It's too expensive to rent a venue for sparring, and the land is too small in the park around ...... house."
"That's right, these days, the Tiger Ben that local tyrant knights have the money and ability to buy a special venue to organize collective training and mock battles on a regular basis, and our purely self-organized medieval enthusiast group wants to organize collective training, or rely on the premise that Tokushima High School successfully applied for the official recognition of the school club in the past, and can use the school square and community building to toss. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, then raised his hand to support the rim of the Demon Ring-Wing Barrel Helmet, "Now that we're all graduates, at least most of us are...... In addition, the members of the club who have not yet graduated have begun to have little time to devote themselves to this aspect, so the dissolution of the Iron and Blood Club is inevitable......"
"Forget it, Lao He, don't worry too much about this, after all, aren't we still together now?, and the old brothers can gather together if they have time to gather if they have time, isn't that enough?" Richard interjected, and then pointed to the old brothers who were talking and laughing and punching each other. By the way, Lao He, when you find a suitable place to start a mock battle later, you must remember to know that the strength of the shot is a little controlled, and when the time comes, you will be busy with things like who breaks the ribs with a punch with your bare hands. ”
Feng Longde: "...... I don't need you to remind me, I've always been measured, you better pay attention to your mouth in the future, it's also a little measured, so as to save the possibility of being killed by someone......"
