Xuan Xia had already caught sight of Zhou Shiqing out of the corner of his eye and simply turned to look at him.

Zhou Shiqing just looked at her silently, not knowing what he was arguing about.

She naturally began to explain: "Nuo opera is Nuo dance, also called ghost opera."

Upon hearing the word "ghost show", Zhou Shiqing frowned subconsciously.

I don't think this name is very auspicious.

Xuan Xia continued: "Nuo opera is mainly about worshiping gods, praying for blessings, exorcising ghosts, and driving away epidemics. You can also understand it as a sacrificial activity. It was most popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the big ones included Guo Nuo and Da Nuo, and then It’s a folk Nuo opera.”

"The essence of Nuo opera is probably the mask. According to the different contents of Nuo opera, the person who hosts the Nuo opera will wear different masks."

"It looks like a ghost with a green face and fangs, a wild beast, golden eyes, etc. You may have seen someone dancing with such a mask before."

Zhou Shiqing showed a slightly surprised expression.

Dancing with strange masks, that he had indeed seen before.

But he never understood that there was something special about it, and it was called Nuo opera.

After receiving this explanation, Zhou Shiqing's eyes changed when he looked at Xuan Xia, and his expression became much clearer, no longer like a rebellious son.

Tour guide Zhang also praised Xuan Xia at the right time: "The beauty is so amazing! She really knows a lot."

Xuan Xia said to Tour Guide Zhang: "You should call me by my name. My name is Xuan Xia."

Tour guide Zhang suddenly thought that artists like him seemed to like to call him teacher, so he also changed his words, "Okay, Teacher Xuan."

Xuan Xia: That’s okay.

After all, Tour Guide Zhang was a tour guide, and he was also very discerning. At this moment, he already knew that Zhou Shiqing did not understand Nuo culture, so he picked up the end of Xuan Xia's words and continued to explain to Zhou Shiqing.

Nuo opera can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, it was the Nuo sacrifice. The main purpose was to drive away the yin energy and guide the yang, so that the yin and yang would be orderly and the heaven and earth would be harmonious.

Let’s talk about the masks that Xuan Xia just mentioned. Most of the leading actors who preside over Nuo operas are hereditary in their families, so the masks used are also passed down from generation to generation. There are many materials for masks, but most of them are made of wood, and a few are also made of silk or paper. .

In addition, Nuo opera also has similar contents to the Taoist rituals of the Great Jiao, which are divided into opening the altar, opening the cave and closing the altar.Opening and closing the altar are ritual rituals to welcome the gods and send them off, and opening the altar is the beginning of the Nuo opera.

Xuan Xia nodded, she knew Nuo opera precisely because of this reason.

Tour guide Zhang explained a lot and his mouth was dry, so he stopped going into details.

It ends with the sentence, "What we can see this time is the Nuo God show."

Perhaps it was the knowledge of Nuo opera that conquered Zhou Shiqing. From then on, Zhou Shiqing was relatively well-behaved and no one found it annoying.

***
There are several famous large and small ancient cities in Miao and Hunan, and this itinerary is based on one of them that has fewer tourists.

But relatively, the journey is a bit long.

From the airport to arrival, it took nearly two hours on the road.

After arriving at the ancient city, Tour Guide Zhang took everyone to eat first.

The place to eat is naturally arranged by the program team.

For your first meal, try some authentic local food.

Therefore, the content of this issue of Lian Zong has successfully added the eating and broadcasting part.

Before the official start of mukbang, Xuan Xia asked Zhou Shiqing: "Can Teacher Zhou eat spicy food?"

Zhou Shiqing didn't answer and asked: "What about you?"

The two looked at each other, everything was silent.

This is a somewhat painful mukbang meal and requires too much water.

But everyone else seemed to enjoy it.

Xuan Xia saw it and was filled with envy.

After dinner, the two guests had a little lunch break. Hong PD staff members wiped their lips and went to the ancient city with cameras to shoot materials.Zhou Shiqing also disappeared, and Xuan Xia quickly asked Guan Fei to do her makeup during the lunch break.

Guan Fei arrived at the meeting not long after she started eating and broadcasting, and also brought a set of Miao Xiang's clothes for Xuan Xia.

"This is a craft made by a friend of mine. I happened to have a chance today, so I asked Teacher Xuan to help me try it out and become a model."

It is normal for makeup artists to take advantage of convenience and help friends push clothes and accessories, and Yang Wanxiu didn't say anything.

Besides, her eyes lit up as soon as she saw that outfit, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful, Xia Xia, you must look good in it!"

She emphasized the word "very" and couldn't wait for Xuan Xia to put it on for her to see.

Xuan Xia also thinks this set of clothes is very beautiful. The main colors of the whole set are silver and purple, mixed with red.Especially the brilliant silver jewelry, Xuan Xia could imagine how radiant it was under the sun.

Since the clothes are so beautiful, Xuan Xia doesn't mind being a model for a while.

When Xuan Xia put on all the clothes, Yang Wanxiu let out a burst of exclamation.

"Xia Xia, you look good!!!"

Guan Fei also nodded with satisfaction, but for a moment he didn't know whether to say it was the beauty of the person or the beauty of the clothes.

Xuan Xia only had one feeling, "It's a bit heavy."

Not only on the head, but also on the neck.

"But it looks good!!" Yang Wanxiu emphasized, and added: "I will take pictures for you later. Ah, if I had known that Teacher Guan could bring such beautiful clothes, I should have hired a photographer."

The more Yang Wanxiu thought about it, the more annoyed she became.

Xuan Xia said: "It's okay, believe in yourself."

Yang Wanxiu regained her confidence and said hurriedly: "Xia Xia, let's go for a walk around the area first? I'll seize the time to take some pictures for you."

So as not to run out of time when work starts later.

Xuan Xia said: "Okay."

Unfortunately, as soon as the three of them went out, they met Hong PD and others when they came back.

When PD Hong saw Xuan Xia, he was immediately amazed.

"If I had known that Mr. Xuan had such appropriate clothes for the occasion, I should have waited for Mr. Xuan to shoot the material together." Hong PD regretted, but at the same time, new ideas were already starting to come up in his mind.

Yang Wanxiu discussed with PD Hong and asked PD Hong to give them some time to take some business photos and post them online later.

When PD Hong heard this, he realized that this was exactly what he wanted. They could also follow suit and shoot some more material.

When everyone was about to leave, Xuan Xia said wait.

She asked PD Hong: "What about Teacher Zhou? Let him rest for a while longer? Do I need to tell him?"

That one is really hard to figure out, but you have to smooth it out, otherwise you might not know what's wrong later.

Even if it affects the shooting, it also affects her mood.

PD Hong slapped his forehead and said he was right, almost stabbing Lou Zi.

Then he directed a staff member next to him to tell Zhou Shiqing quickly, so as not to make him angry because he thought he was being slighted. He was already difficult enough to serve.

After the staff left, Hong PD Pidianpidian also followed Xuan Xia.

I thought I had done everything thoroughly, but I still underestimated Zhou Shiqing's dog-like temper.

Just when Xuan Xia and Hong PD had just chosen the first shooting location, not far away, Zhou Shiqing slowly walked over wearing a pair of large sunglasses that covered half of his face.

As soon as PD Hong caught his sight, he immediately turned into a dogleg and ran over.
