Chapter 94 Historical Memory
When Ye Xia walked into Xi Shuang's house, Xi Shuang sat in front of the computer with her hair down, watching the material.

"Is the shooting going well today?" Ye Xia pulled a stool and sat down beside her, and asked.

Xi Shuang classified the materials and replied, "It went well, where are you?"

Ye Xia patted her hair and said, "It went well, and I'll show you the information I collected."

Ye Xia opened the small book and handed it to Xi Shuang. When Xi Shuang looked down, Ye Xia turned her head and picked up a strand of her hair, twisting it around her fingertips a few times.

Xi Shuang didn't notice Ye Xia's little action, but was caught by the information in the small book, and said in a low voice, "So that festival is called Qingshuihui."

There is a mountain called Pilgrimage in Baihe Township. The deserted temple is on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain in the north is a towering old tree.

Grandma said that when she first married here, there was a spring under the tree, and the clear water was gurgling. Everyone in the village said that this was the "sacred water" bestowed by the mountain god.

But when Xishuang remembers, the spring has long since dried up. Some old people in the village will go to the mountain stream to weed the day before the festival. After cleaning, they will carry water from the nearby pond for use the next day.

People will go to the tree to "get water", and then boil eggs there, wash their faces and so on.

Grandma told her that the things cooked with the water here will be more fragrant than usual, and washing the face with the water here can wash away the dirt.

At that time, Xishuang was young, and she only remembered eating boiled eggs in the wild, which was really special.

In Xishuang's memory, this activity was only carried out twice, but it was discontinued because no one was going to clean up and water it.

"I remember, when I was a child, my mother and I went to clean it up. At that time, I asked her why she did it like this. The water doesn't flow from the spring. Does it really work?" Xi Shuang flipped through the book. ,laugh out loud.

She put down the notebook and found that Ye Xia was playing with her hair, she "tsk" and warned Ye Xia with her eyes.

Ye Xia showed her big white teeth, got off topic, and said, "Did you not blow-dry your hair? I'll help you."

As he said, he got up and rushed into the bathroom to take out the hair dryer, stood behind Xi Shuang and turned on the smallest gear to blow-dry her hair slowly.

He is too familiar!Xi Shuang leaned back in the chair, thinking silently.

"I think it's a pity that this event has been forgotten." Ye Xia stroked Xishuang's hair gently, and said, "Think about it, the Tibetan people have their own bathing festival, and the Dai people also have a water-splashing festival, all of which symbolize water. It can remove the filth of people and bless people. Your own Qingshuihui is also like this. In fact, both the moral and the activities are worth passing on.”

"Many traditional customs will die out in the process of ethnic evolution. Other ethnic groups can pass them on because their population base is large enough. Our village is all Han, and the Han themselves have been merging and evolving. Over time, more and more The more we converge, the dissipation of our own cultural traditions is inevitable.” Xi Shuang picked up the small book and flipped through it, and then said: “There are villages of the Bai and Yi people around us, but now they are basically Sinicized, and some children can’t speak The vernacular and the Yi dialect have changed, and in the more remote mountainous areas, the Bai and Yi people have not had contact with the Han people, and the old people there can only speak their own language and cannot communicate with outsiders.”

Ye Xia couldn't help leaning closer to Xi Shuang and asked, "Isn't there bilingual education in the mountains?"

"Of course some juniors can speak Mandarin. I'm talking about the elderly. I have been to the place where they live with my classmates before, and the elderly really can only speak their own language." Xi Shuang said.

Some things are assimilated and forced to die, which cannot be decided by one person.

In fact, when my parents were here, Xi Shuang had the impression that there were many sacrificial activities in the village, and there was also a banquet of the scale of Shifang Flowing Water.Later, Xi Shuang didn't know how the activities in childhood declined step by step, whether it was people who understood these etiquettes gradually returning to the loess, or young people gradually going out and not returning to their hometown, Xi Shuang couldn't figure it out.

In short, the things in the memory slowly fade away and go away.

The warm air from the hair dryer made people feel warm. Xi Shuang missed the past and couldn't help sighing, feeling infinitely melancholy.

"I chatted a lot with my fellow villagers today, and my own thoughts became more and more clear." Ye Xia pinched Xi Shuang's hair and put it in the palm of his hand. The wind passed through the hair, and then stroked his fingers gently. "In fact, there are some things that cannot be replaced by the modernization process. Everyone has a thought in their hearts, and this thought is worthy of being carried and continued."

"Do you want to revitalize the countryside?" Xi Shuang turned her head and looked at Ye Xia.

From Ye Xia's point of view, I could just see Xi Shuang's big round eyes. He laughed and said, "It can be said that I don't think I can simply consider the project itself. After all, the project depends on more things. If you take root here, you have to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain."

"Commercialization and sustainable development, this proposition is too big, I also thought about this issue in politics class, I never thought that one day, it would fall on my side." Xi Shuang said softly.

Ye Xia turned off the hair dryer, sat down beside Xi Shuang, and said, "At the beginning, I was only thinking about making quick money, but recently I have gained too much insight, and I think my plan should be more refined. Combining folklore and business , in order to develop in a more long-term, the folk customs are the most unique culture endowed to you by this land, which is not found in other places.

Think about it, we have publicity portals, and wineries are commercial, so we have to create an attractive point, that is, your customs and culture here, skyscrapers can be seen everywhere, but local customs and characteristics cannot be copied . "

When Ye Xia talked about planning, she was in high spirits and full of vitality. Xi Shuang could understand and had a clear prototype in her mind.

Sure enough, gold shines everywhere.

"But now there is a problem." Ye Xia scratched her head and sighed, "Renovating the place where I live is a small project, but I can still handle it. In the later stage, the transformation of the pepper base and the expansion of the grape base will be a big problem in terms of human resources. "

"Has Shen Nan done a risk assessment? And your start-up capital, can it be turned around?" Xi Shuang asked.

"Risk, I will minimize it. Judging from the current flow of capital turnover, there is no problem in the early stage, but it may be a little tight in the later stage. But there are coping strategies. When talking about cooperation with Li Tu before, he introduced I know a lot of bigwigs, and when the time comes, I will brag to the bigwigs and attract investment." Ye Xia's tone is quite relaxed, but these things are really going to be implemented, but it's not as easy as it sounds.

"I hope we can get better and better." Xi Shuang patted Ye Xia's arm and said softly.

Ye Xia took her finger and pinched it a few times. This time, Xi Shuang just smiled and looked at him quietly.
