Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 100 Why use interrogative sentences?
One thing I think needs to be reiterated is that school opening times and holiday times are different in Japan and China.In China, the first semester of school usually starts around September [-]st, depending on whether it is a working day at that time. The winter vacation is after the end of the first semester. The winter vacation is shorter than the summer vacation, and This includes China’s biggest festival, the Spring Festival.The second semester starts from the end of February to March of the following year. Classes generally last until early July, and then the summer vacation begins.

There will also be changes (unofficial) due to various factors (for example, you are a high school student), such as voluntarily participating in tutoring at school, etc., which makes this time vague and you need to follow the school's arrangements.

But Japan is different. The first semester in Japan starts around mid-April, and summer vacation begins in late July, ending the first semester.The length of the vacation varies depending on the school's arrangements, but classes generally begin in early September, coinciding with the start of the first semester for Chinese students, and then continue until late December.After that, the winter vacation will begin, which is much shorter than the summer vacation, only two weeks, and the third semester will begin two weeks later.

The three semesters in Japan are generally shorter, but the total hours of the three semesters are not much different from the two semesters in China. The holiday arrangements seem to take into account large-scale festivals, such as Bon Festival and Japanese New Year.Many times when reading stories involving Japanese semesters, it is easy to have a sense of time confusion if you do not understand the differences, but in fact this is caused by the different semester arrangements between the two countries.

In other words, this second semester here in Xia Zhi is not a hot summer, but an early winter that has turned from warm to cold.As I have said before, the best time to visit Kinkakuji is actually during the sunny season, which is commonly known as summer. Although it is still the time when summer and autumn alternate, the light is not as abundant as in summer, and it should be shining brightly. The glowing wall of the relic hall became much darker...

Not only that, the green trees by the lake have also become slightly withered due to the season... This untimely school trip is simply poisonous.It was completely different from the scene in his imagination... not that much. There was such a big gap that Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh twice, although there was no smile at all on his face.

On the other side, Teacher Shirai has already started blowing, and he feels very skilled. It is obviously not the first time he has done this kind of thing.Moreover, with so much talk about the "unique opportunity to view Kinkakuji Temple", "beautiful scenery in autumn" and "different artistic conception", Xia Zhi felt that it was a pity that Mr. Shirai did not teach Mandarin.

Then he glanced at the other classes walking together. The man who looked very much like a physical education teacher, but was actually a physical education teacher, was also bragging crazily with the students in his class. His words seemed similar to those of Mr. Shirai.Then Xia Zhi understood that they were collectively backstabbing.Xia Zhi was desperate.

Teacher Shirai chattered for a while, clapped his hands, and everyone dispersed to watch freely. They gathered at the entrance before five o'clock.Natsuki looked at Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko with a confused look on their face. They hadn't recovered yet, and looked at Shirai who had called several other teachers to have tea with them, with expressions of not knowing what to do. teacher.

"What should we do now?"

Xia Zhi asked, and the two turned around.The corners of Yamamoto Ryoko's mouth twitched unconsciously.

"I don't know either... It's also the first time I experience such a unique school trip."

Sure enough, this school trip was a bit outrageous.Xia Zhi said with certainty in his heart.

"Actually, it's not bad, right? If you think about it carefully, it seems that everyone only comes to Kinkakuji in the summer. It seems good to be able to visit Kinkakuji in this season?"

"Why use a question?"

Ryoko Yamamoto asked rhetorically.

"I haven't been to Kinkakuji Temple in autumn either..."

Shiraishi Rika explained, which made Xia Zhi's expectations for this school trip suddenly decrease.Sighing, Natsuki invited them to walk around the Golden Pavilion Temple together.It’s here now, but you have to go and see it. Maybe there will be a different beauty in autumn.And the entrance fee was also spent, [-] yen!

Xia Zhi, Shiraishi Lihua and Yamamoto Ryoko wandered around the Kinkakuji Temple.

Ancient Japanese architecture had a very obvious and interesting feature, that is, the wooden structure, the shape of a boat, and the empty floor. There is a very interesting saying: because of Japan’s geographical environment, it In a country prone to earthquakes, the house was shaped like a boat so that it could float on the water during high tide and be preserved.

Due to the geographical environment of the island country, the earthquake cannot be just a phenomenon of earthquakes. It is also accompanied by activities such as tsunamis, not to mention that they also have Mount Fuji, which is not known to be an active volcano. —Although geologists have classified Mount Fuji as an active volcano, the last known eruption of Mount Fuji was in 300, more than [-] years ago. It is not known whether it will remain dormant forever. Go down.

This is probably why Japan is leading the world in terms of disaster relief efforts and preventive measures.In other words, it doesn't seem wrong to say that they are actually a nation that is very good at resisting earthquakes.

Although such ship-shaped buildings are not uncommon in Japan, they are definitely not uncommon.In this era of rapid technological development, China is not the only one that is rising. A large number of ancient buildings have been torn down and rebuilt, turning them into the modern cities they are today. There will only be fewer and fewer buildings that retain the ancient charm.Even in Kyoto, a city with the strongest ancient charm in Japan, it is inevitable to be eroded by the modern atmosphere.

But you can't say this is a bad thing. Human society will always develop, and this is the price paid for development.

The location chosen by Kinkaku-ji Temple is also very good. The boat-shaped building itself relies on the lakeside. From a distance, you can vaguely see the scene of boats sailing on the blue waves.

Kinkaku-ji Temple is one of the masterpieces of Japanese garden architecture. It is also a precious cultural relic and a famous scenic spot. From it, we can see many characteristics of the cultural integration of the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu period. It is the most representative famous garden of the Muromachi period. .

Xia Zhi had only seen photos of the Kinkakuji Temple from the Internet, and most of them were in summer or winter. In the summer, the green trees and the green lake water complement each other, and the Kinkakuji Temple itself is beautiful.In winter, the bleakness and white snow of winter contrast with the splendor of Kinkakuji, and its presence is particularly strong.

But now... Kinkakuji Temple has almost blended in with the plants, and the color difference is not obvious. If a person with severe myopia sees it, he may only be able to vaguely feel the subtle color difference. .However, although the top of Kinkakuji Temple is magnificent, the lower part of the building is still supported by white walls. It is still a very artistic building.

Natsuki and the other three were walking on the road, listening to Shiraishi Reika telling some short stories about Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the Kinkakuji Temple. Natsuki was also listening with interest.Therefore, gossip is human nature, and human nature is a repeater.

"By the way, Xia Zhijun, do you know Monk Yixiu?"

"Of course I know. Ikkyu can be said to be a household name in China."

Xia Zhi chatted with the two of them, and the atmosphere was very friendly and harmonious.But the three of them didn't notice at all that the two groups of forces not far away were staring at the three of them.

"Hehehe... He also said that he was not here for a date. He was lying. He is really dishonest, Xia Zhi..."

Qingfeng hid behind a tree and observed. Besides Gudong and Demu, there were also other boys in the class beside him.Their peeking formation was like a pyramid, with Qingfeng hiding behind a tree, Kodou and Izuku hiding behind Qingfeng on both sides, using Qingfeng as a cover. The boys after him repeated this formation, and a group of people Like a bad gang with malicious intentions, some tourists are already hesitant to call the police.

"Did you see it? Did everyone see it? This guy Xia Zhi can't even think about making excuses now. He actually secretly had a girlfriend... Back then, Long Shi had to treat him to a big meal before he forgave him. Can you? Don’t even think about hiding away like that!”

Behind them, a handsome boy scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Why does it involve me again?"

"Hmph, I haven't forgiven you yet, Long Shi, for secretly having a girlfriend or something."

"As I said, it's not a secret thing. It was Wu who confessed to me, not me."

"You mean you don't like Zuo Qiao?"

"I didn't say that."

Long Shi immediately retorted.

"Then the result is not always the same! After all, we all have girlfriends, right?"

Qingfeng said unreasonably, Longshi could only smile wryly.

"How can Xia Zhi become happy so easily before us! It's so enviable, you bastard!"

What an ugly jealousy.Everyone said mentally.

"Humph, have you done all the things I asked you to do before?"

"It's all done, and it's guaranteed to be safe."

Izuku patted his chest.

"That's good. All actions will start in two days. Please cheer me up."

"I know, I know, it's really long-winded."

While the boys were noisy, they didn't notice another mysterious force following Xia Zhi and the others - the girls in the class.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't Liangzi say that Xia Zhi has a girlfriend? Why are their atmosphere so good?"

"Yeah, it's so suspicious. Could it be that Ryoko didn't tell the truth?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to ask her in the evening?"

"That's true. So what are we going to do now?"

"Follow me? It doesn't seem good. There is no place to hide in Kinkakuji. Just look at those stupid boys."

"That's right. If you follow me now, it's easy to scare the snake away. Let's go find some shops then?"

"Okay, let's go together."

"Then let's go find a delicious shop~"

"The sunset is waiting for me!"

The girls also scattered.

The mysterious thing is that no one has much interest in the Golden Pavilion Temple. They all went to find some fun or delicious food.Apparently the Kinkaku-ji Temple in autumn has no attraction for them.I wonder if General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would curse people if he knew about it...

It took about two hours, and Xia Zhi completed his first visit to the Golden Pavilion Temple.
