Chapter 920: Spring Festival Carnival
The Spring Festival Gala lasted until late at night and stopped just before dawn. Basically everyone went on stage, whether it was a talent show or other dramas.
Everyone's purpose was simple, to show their best side to their commander, and then take a photo with him. As a souvenir, they would keep it permanently in their ship's space.
No matter where I am in the future, if I miss him, I can take out the photo and look at it, and I will feel that my commander is by my side, and this is the eternal memory.
After the party, everyone celebrated for a long time until dawn, when they gradually dispersed.
When Qin Ge woke up, it was already afternoon. Just after washing up, he received an invitation from the ship girls. Last night was just the beginning of the Spring Festival, and today was the official start of the Spring Festival Garden Party.
"Commander, would you like some octopus balls? They're delicious."
"Commander, would you like a basket of freshly steamed buns? They're stuffed with cod."
“…”
Not long after arriving at the garden party, Qin Ge was surrounded.
The vendors at the garden party were also played by the ship girls. Seeing their commander coming, they naturally wanted him to taste their cooking skills. However, it seemed that there were too many people gathered, so much so that the entire road was blocked.
Qin Ge couldn't help but smile helplessly, stretched out his hand and said to everyone, "Since you are holding a New Year's Garden Party here, you must also take care of other people's feelings. You can't all rush over to pay attention to me just because I'm here. Others are here to have fun, so you should also pay attention to others.
So I will taste the food from your stalls one by one later, but before that, can everyone maintain order at the Spring Festival Garden Party?"
"good!"
After hearing their commander say this, everyone realized that their current behavior might have caused some inconvenience to their commander. So they quickly dispersed and returned to their own stalls.
As the roads were cleared, the New Year's Garden Party also returned to order, which made Qin Ge breathe a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he looked at Guanghui who was laughing at the side and said, "It's too enthusiastic. I feel like the situation is a little out of control."
"Haha, this is also a sign that everyone likes the commander." Guanghui laughed.
"I know this, but besides me and Gangqu, other people also come to the Spring Festival Garden Party with anticipation, so the experience of others cannot be compromised because of me." Qin Ge couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"That's right, my lord. Myoko is in charge of order here. I'll just notify her later." Amajo said with a smile.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "If that's the case, then let's go for a walk first. To be honest, I didn't have many opportunities to look around here last night, and now everything seems new to me."
"In that case, why don't I take the commander forward? If the commander has any questions, he can ask me at any time, because we are responsible for all of this." Guanghui said with a smile.
"Well, that's great." Qin Ge nodded and followed Guanghui's footsteps forward.
Whenever they stopped at a more obvious shop or artwork, Guanghui and several people from Tiancheng nearby would introduce to Qin Ge the origins of these things.
Including whether these were built by the ship girls in the port area, or which camp they came from, what they represent, and so on.
Of course, I would occasionally stop in front of the small stall nearby, smiling and giving a bite or two of snacks to the stall owner, and the whole process could be said to be very relaxing.
"I think the commander should know this." Several people walked to a rabbit woven with flowers, and Guanghui said to Qin Ge with a smile.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Is it because this year is the Year of the Rabbit?"
"That's right, Commander." Guanghui nodded, then asked Qin Ge with a smile, "Commander, I'm actually a little curious about the origin of the twelve zodiac animals and what they represent."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I know something about this. In my previous world, the origin of the twelve zodiac signs was basically unpredictable, but it is said that the hypothesis of the twelve zodiac signs has existed since the pre-Qin period, but it did not correspond to the twelve earthly branches at that time.
By the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the twelve zodiac signs had been determined and corresponded to the twelve Earthly Branches.
The most popular hypothesis is the totem theory, which says that the ancients used the images of animals as totems of their tribes because they revered animals. The animals in the 12 zodiac signs are basically the totems of the original tribes. For example, the descendants of the dragon often mentioned by Donghuang, in which the dragon is one of the totems of the tribe.
However, there were many stories circulating about why the order was like this, but they were just stories and there was never a definite explanation.
But what’s interesting is that not only Donghuang has the legend of the twelve zodiac animals, but ancient Greece, which had a contemporary civilization with Donghuang, also had the legend of the twelve zodiac signs. This shows that the number twelve and the worship of animals originated from the depths of the human soul.
No matter where they are, or whether they have any communication or not, they will all worship accordingly.”
"Haha, the master seems to know a lot about this." Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Well, this is also because I liked to read some books when I was bored before, and these things were mentioned in the books. I remember them more clearly about the things I was interested in. I can talk about them when we chat normally, but if I really have to explain them in detail, I would feel a little ashamed." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"What the commander said is fine. After all, Donghuang's history is too long, and there are some lost parts in the inheritance. It is impossible to understand the thoughts of our ancestors in everything.
More importantly, we, as the younger generation, should continue to conduct research while respecting the ancient philosophers, truly understand their thoughts, and then develop our own thoughts. "Zhenhai said.
"Haha, I can't compare to the level of the ancient sages. Now I just want to develop our port area well , and then win our war. When peace comes, I will travel the world with you." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Haha, I feel the same way." Several ship girls smiled together.
"Let's go ahead and take a look." Qin Ge said.
"Um."
And in such a harmonious and leisurely atmosphere, the New Year time passed by little by little.
Every day Qin Ge would go for a walk with his wedding ship or some other ship girls. Although by the end of the walk he already knew what was in the New Year Garden Party, everyone had different feelings, so he didn't feel bored or anything.
It was not until after the Lantern Festival that the festive atmosphere gradually faded away and the entire port area returned to normal.
