The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan seemed to have never been so relaxed and idle. They slept until about ten o'clock in the morning, still in a daze. Half asleep and half awake, Xiangnan told himself that it was too late. I got up and went to work. I woke up for a while and thought that I was in Sanya now. I felt relieved and went back to sleep.

When the phone rang, Xiangnan opened his eyes to look, and then pushed Zhang Xiangbei: "It's yours."

Zhang Xiangbei reached for the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned over to Xiangnan, and fell asleep again.

Zhang Xiangbei looked at the number and saw that it was Bao Tianbin, the general manager of the Hainan branch of "Zhaixianshu". Zhang Xiangbei picked up the call.

Bao Tianbin asked on the phone: "Mr. Zhang, have you arrived in Sanya?"

Zhang Xiangbei said yes, he arrived yesterday afternoon, I was...

"I know, I know, I'm down in the hotel lobby." Bao Tianbin said.

"Come up." Zhang Xiangbei said and sat up on the bed.

"It's so high and I'm too lazy to go up, so you better come down." Bao Tianbin said.

Zhang Xiangbei scolded: "I'll go, have you all become so lazy after I left the 'Zhai Xian Delivery'?"

Bao Tianbin laughed on the phone, and Zhang Xiangbei said, okay, just wait.

Zhang Xiangbei got up, kissed Xiangnan, and told her, "I'll go down for a while, and you continue to sleep."

Xiang Nan grunted.

Zhang Xiangbei quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face. Last night, he slept in island clothes, which made it easier. He didn’t even need to change his clothes. When he walked out, he saw a battery car waiting at the door. Bao Tianbin should have called him. .

Zhang Xiangbei arrived at the hotel below and saw Bao Tianbin sitting in the lobby bar. When he saw Zhang Xiangbei, he stood up and smiled at him:

"I know you are newly married, so I don't dare to disturb you."

"What are you afraid of? Who will eat you?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"No, no, I'm afraid it's inconvenient because you haven't gotten up yet." Bao Tianbin said.

"You know quite a lot." Zhang Xiangbei said. Bao Tianbin laughed and said, "I've been through this too. Is your back sore?"

"Fuck you!" Zhang Xiangbei cursed, and Bao Tianbin laughed.

Zhang Xiangbei sat down opposite him. A waiter came over immediately and brought Zhang Xiangbei a cup of tea. Bao Tianbin asked Zhang Xiangbei: "What are your plans next?"

"I haven't decided yet. I will probably travel around the whole island. By the way, I also want to visit the Qiongzhong Cattle Farm and Ding'an Cattle Market we visited last time." Zhang Xiangbei said.

"Why do you still want to go see the bull market when you've already...?" Bao Tianbin asked.

"I like it, can you?" Zhang Xiangbei said, "I also want to eat the beef there."

Bao Tianbin said yes, yes, you can go wherever you want. Anyway, you are here and I, a native, will accompany you. Nothing else. I am not bragging. There is not a village in Hainan that I have not been to.

"Are you trying to show your merit? But it's already too late." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Bao Tianbin smiled: "I don't want to express my gratitude, but it's in Hainan. You, a mainlander, will have difficulty communicating in many places."

"Aren't you a mainlander?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"I have been assimilated." Bao Tianbin said, "By the way, I will take you to Huiwen tomorrow and take you to see a fun event."

"What?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"Gongqi." Bao Tianbin said, "Have you never participated in the public period in Hainan? Let me tell you, in Hainan, if you have not participated in the public period or military slope, you have not truly understood Hainan. , Hainan is not just about sunshine, beaches and coconut groves.”

"What the hell? Are you talking about Gongqi and Junpo?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"It's just a sacrificial activity. Gongqi and Junpo are sometimes the same thing, and sometimes they are different. Gongqi is Gongqi, and Junpo is Junpo. The biggest difference is that the objects of sacrifice are different, and the scale is also different. The difference is that Junpo is big and Gongqi is small. Gongqi is an activity in a village, and the ancestors in the village are worshipped.

"Junpo commemorates Mrs. Xian, and sometimes a town holds it together."

"Is it like a temple fair?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"No, they are completely different. During the temple fair, people buy things, while during the public period, they eat and play, and there are many other activities." Bao Tianbin said.

"No, I have no interest in this kind of religious activity at all." Zhang Xiangbei said.

"You must go." Bao Tianbin said, "This is not a religious activity, it is a folk activity, an intangible cultural heritage. When you go there, you can see things you can't see in other places, such as walking over a volcano and walking barefoot. , walking over the red-hot charcoal, and climbing the knife mountain, climbing up with bare feet on the blade, and the most special thing is wearing a staff, do you know how to wear it?"

Zhang Xiangbei shook his head: "How could I know."

"Several meters of silver bars as thick as a finger were passed through the mouth and out from the cheek..."

"I'll go! Isn't that perverted?" Zhang Xiangbei shouted.

"No, it was Gongzu's upper body. After Gongzu's upper body, he no longer felt any pain. Such a thick silver rod will not bleed when it passes through it. It's amazing." Bao Tianbin said.

"Is it real?"

"Of course it is. You will know when you go and see it. There is also Gongzu who jumped to the top of the three-meter-high roof in one fell swoop. The wheelchair user can walk when he stands up. After Gongzu passed away, he did not I'll leave." Bao Tianbin said.

"That's nonsense. The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it gets. You can go write fantasy novels." Zhang Xiangbei scolded.

"Really, really, I have seen it all with my own eyes. How can I still lie to you? There are many things that cannot be explained. You will know after you go and see them. By the way, maybe Grandpa will even go to bed when he sees you are handsome. Your body."

Bao Tianbin said with a smile: "Not only is it fun to watch, fun, and listen to, by the way, there is a Qiong Opera Troupe performing, why don't you take your wife to see it? There is also delicious food. The whole village has a feast, and there is a feast." Pure Hainanese flavor.”

Zhang Xiangbei was a little moved, and Bao Tianbin continued: "On days like this, there aren't many public dates in the summer, and they usually happen in the first month. It's a rare opportunity for you to meet me, and it would be a pity to miss it."

"Where is this place you mentioned?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"There is a village below Huiwen Town, past Qionghai, but not beyond Wenchang." Bao Tianbin said.

"By the way, who is the Mrs. Xian you mentioned earlier?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"I'm not very sure about this either. You can ask the consultant about this. He must know that she was a woman in ancient times. At that time, Guangdong was very remote, and they were all barbarians. Unlike now, this Mrs. Xian is a tribe. The leader was very smart and good at fighting. She helped pacify Guangdong. The emperor who surrendered to the Central Plains was named the Holy Mother.

"By the way, Hainan used to be called Yazhou. She was the first one to report to the emperor and request that Hainan Island be named Yazhou. The emperor agreed. Therefore, she should be the ancestor of Hainan, and Hainanese people would respect her so much. , didn’t she lead the troops to fight, Junpo was the place where the troops were gathered, and later everyone called the event to commemorate her Junpo Festival.”

"What about the official date?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"On the public day, every village commemorates its ancestors, called Gongzu, or Gongzu in Hainanese. This is different in each village. In some villages, they commemorate a woman, called Pozu. This activity is called Gongzu. It’s called Pochi.”

Bao Tianbin said, he also laughed, he said:

"Hainan's public period is very interesting. It can be rented and lent. If my village is very poor and has no money to carry out sacrificial activities, it can lend its ancestors to other villages and let them do the public period. The main content of the public period is eating and drinking, so it is also called the public period. Nowadays, rich people like to borrow other people's ancestors for activities, just to have fun."

Zhang Xiangbei also laughed: "Even my ancestors can lend it, and Hainan people are really big-hearted."

"Yes, you have a big heart and a good attitude. Let me tell you, Mr. Zhang, when people in Hainan are on public holidays, even if someone they don't know comes to their door, they will receive them very attentively, and everyone will compete with each other to see who received the reception. The more people there are, the brighter your reputation will be. During the first month of the year, you can eat and drink everywhere every day, since there are public holidays and military camps everywhere," Bao Tianbin said.

"Aren't we going to eat and drink tomorrow, right?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"How is it possible? I have acquaintances in every village now and friends all over Hainan." Bao Tianbin said proudly, "How about it, Mr. Zhang, we have agreed that we will set off early tomorrow. They will start at almost nine o'clock. We will try to get there. , you can see them holding ceremonies and walking around the village.”

"Okay, once you mentioned it, I became interested." Zhang Xiangbei said, "What do you mean by walking in the village?"

"Invite Gongzu from the Gongzu Temple and carry Gongzu from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. There will be drum music and lion dancing. The lion will pass in front of each house and click on three heads to bring good luck to everyone. After walking through the village, Only then can formal worship activities begin." Bao Tianbin said.

We decided to go to Sanya early in the morning for a business trip tomorrow morning, so we were active around Sanya today. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan had been to Sanya many times. They didn’t like to go to places where ordinary tourists would go. At noon, Bao Tianbin took Zhang Xiang Bei and Xiangnan went to a Muslim village to eat mutton. Zhang Xiangbei always thought that there were not many Muslims in Ningxia and Gansu. Unexpectedly, there was a Muslim village in Sanya.

There are mosques, Muslim schools, and Muslim kindergartens here. The women in the village all wear headscarves and ethnic costumes, which are more distinctive than the many Muslims Zhang Xiangbei saw in Ningxia and Gansu.

After they had lunch here, Bao Tianbin directed the car to go back south. When passing the World Tropical Botanical Garden, he asked Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan, do you want a lunch break?

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan both said there was no need and they had slept enough. Bao Tianbin and Xiangnan said, "Then keep driving. Let's go to Ledong."

"Going to Ledong?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"Yes, when you came here last time, didn't you want to go to Yinggehai but didn't make it? Let's go today. Turn on your mobile phone and search. Now Yinggehai is very famous and has become an Internet celebrity." Bao Tianbin said.

"Just because the name sounds nice?"

Zhang Xiangbei asked. When he came here last time, he wanted to go to Yinggehai because he thought the name sounded nice.

"No, it means that this is the most beautiful place to watch the sunset in China. We went to Yinggehai to eat seafood, drink fish soup and watch the sunset." Bao Tianbin said.
