Chapter 1420: Inheritance Continues! Never Changes!

The dialogue between Qin Feng and Reba.

The absurd netizens in the live stream found it delightful.

--【To be honest, Brother Feng's description, though a bit disgusting, is vivid enough!】

--【For a foodie, more trials mean more laughter~ Snail jelly and stinky tofu are stinky too!】

--【My most vivid memory of paste is from "Sanmao's Wanderings"!】

--【Ah yes yes yes, the part where Sanmao ate paste still haunts me.】

--【Back in my hometown during Lunar New Year, we used flour paste to paste Spring Festival couplets, but now everyone uses transparent tape QQQ】

--【I wonder if, many, many years from now, we'll use Spring Festival couplets that never need replacing?】

--【Brother ahead of you, your concern is unnecessary.】

--【Exactly! No matter how simplified things become, the tradition of replacing couplets every year will never change.】

As the live stream viewers had said.

Perhaps after a thousand or a hundred thousand years of time passing.

Many Han Chinese traditions have been gradually simplified, or even lost a little.

But their core will never vanish!

Today, people no longer write Spring Festival couplets by hand.

Instead, they buy ready-made couplets.

Perhaps today,

people no longer use paste, but instead use transparent tape or double-sided tape to stick the couplets.

But the couplets are still couplets.

The words on them still carry hopes for a better next year.

And the yearly renewal of couplets,

is a tradition every Han Chinese person will never abandon.

Moreover, in terms of aesthetics,

many of the industrially mass-produced couplets today

are truly beautiful in their innovation.

For those with poor calligraphy skills,

it's quite a good thing.

The afternoon sunlight

was not particularly intense.

Especially with the cool breezes blowing through the bamboo grove.

In the sweltering summer of Bashu,

the climate in this bamboo courtyard seemed as pleasant as spring!

Qin Feng had previously told the live stream viewers.

The average annual temperature in the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea is around 19 degrees.

Warm in winter, cool in summer.

It truly is a very livable place.

In such comfortable weather,

even one's mood became serene and uplifted.

The young couple quietly fell silent.

They silently watched Uncle Er make the umbrella canopy by pasting paper onto a bamboo frame.

The young couple stopped chattering

because they feared their conversation

might disturb Uncle Er's true craftsmanship~

If they so much as interjected or laughed out loud, and the canopy skewed, it would ruin the beauty.

At least in Reba's view.

She wanted to bring back an umbrella with a beautiful design to Hainan!

And precisely because of Qin Feng's live stream camera,

the viewers truly came to understand how an oil-paper umbrella

is made—from gathering materials, to crafting techniques, to its final transformation.

Even the countless beautiful meanings behind the oil-paper umbrella

over the past thousand years had to be learned one by one!

--【Thank you, Brother Feng, for showing us the birth of an oil-paper umbrella!】

--【Though we didn't see the finer details of every step, we clearly understood the overall process!】

--【If Brother Feng and Reba hadn't come to the Southern Sichuan Bamboo Sea to explore Luzhou oil-paper umbrella craftsmanship, our understanding of oil-paper umbrellas would've remained very superficial~】

--【Exactly~ Including the beautiful meanings behind the oil-paper umbrella!】

--【Say thank you to Brother Feng OvO~】
