Chapter 14 Xi’an Travel Guide 2
  Ying Zheng: A bell tower is worth visiting for so many people, as is the previous tower. It seems that future generations like these ancient buildings very much!
  Liu Che: Mutton steamed buns? The living conditions of future generations are really good! It’s unthinkable that everyone can afford mutton. It would be great if my Han people could also have such good living conditions.

Yang Jian: Ninety-nine percent of Xi’an people eat beef? Oxen were used to plow the land. Later generations of people killed and ate the oxen. How could they be used to cultivate the land and feed the people?

Li Shimin: Why is the mutton steamed bun so unpalatable? What nonsense. I ate it once last month. It was obviously very delicious, but future generations really don’t know how to enjoy it. They can’t get used to eating such delicious mutton steamed buns.

Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: How can future generations tell each other whether this mutton steamed bun is delicious or not? I also want to personally taste the difference of Chang'an's mutton steamed bun so that it can be passed down to future generations.

Su Shi: Isn’t this the mutton steamed bun I ate when I passed through Chang’an before? Looking back now, it was so delicious! The cooking is fine, the ingredients are heavy and the flavor is mellow, the meat is rotten and the soup is thick, fat but not greasy, the aroma is overflowing, tempting the appetite, and the aftertaste is endless after eating.

People in Chang'an: I'm really heartbroken! Mutton steamed buns are one of the most delicious in the world. We can only eat one or two bites during festivals, but later generations actually say that mutton steamed buns are unpalatable. It’s true that we don’t know how blessed we are.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Hey! Wasn't this Xi'an Bell Tower built by someone not long ago? I didn’t expect it to be preserved for such a long time, and it seems that future generations will like the bell tower we built very much! This puts us at ease.

[Everyone must remember that Xi'an is a city that never sleeps. At night, it is not called Xi'an, but Chang'an, which has been dreaming back for thousands of years. Now that we have broken off the steamed buns and are full after eating, we arrived at the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty in the evening. 】

[When we were in the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty, no matter you were an elegant man or a lively and beautiful lady, when we came to the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty, we could rent a set of Hanfu and put on beautiful makeup. It was really called dreaming back for thousands of years. Dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. 】

[Take a set of beautiful photos and a short video and post it on Douyin. It’s definitely not too much to get a lot of likes. On the way back to the hotel, we also remember to taste Xi'an's special Roujiamo. We eat it while walking. In Xi'an dialect, it is very beautiful. 】

"Beautiful Xi'an, the Sleepless City of the Tang Dynasty is really so impressive, the night view is dazzling and beautiful"

"I went to the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty last year. It was really beautiful and the style of the ancient city"

"The significance of the Tang Dynasty that never sleeps is that even if you queue for hours and don't see the performance, you have witnessed the current peace and prosperity of the country and the people"

"I was lucky enough to go there, and I felt like I was participating in a battle between two armies when I crossed the road."

"The Tang Dynasty's Sleepless City and Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an are really worth a visit"

"I really want to see it, I really want to see it all while I'm young"

"The meat is sandwiched in the steamed bun, hence the name Rou Jia Mo"

"I've always wanted to know whether the soul of Roujiamo is meat or steamed bun"

"I went to Xi'an once and the Roujiamo was really amazing. You can't taste this taste anywhere else."

Ying Zheng: If you want to play, you can go to the Sleepless City of the Tang Dynasty. You don’t need to go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. What’s so interesting about a burial pit? I don’t know if future generations will dig up my imperial mausoleum.

Liu Che: Hanfu should be the clothing of my big man! It seems that the big man has a great influence!

Yang Jian: This is from the Sleepless City of the Tang Dynasty, and it is in Hanfu. Why are there no things from the Sui Dynasty? Is it possible that my Sui Dynasty has such a low sense of existence in later generations?

Li Shimin: The City that Never Sleeps in the Tang Dynasty is a good name. Being able to let future generations talk about dreaming back thousands of years and dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty is enough to show that my Tang Dynasty was very prosperous and left an indelible impression in the minds of future generations.

Wu Zetian was a little silent for a while when she saw that later generations praised Datang so much. Even though she already knew that Datang returned to Li Tang's hands in the end, she was still a little unwilling!

However, she was somewhat pleased to see that later generations praised the Tang Dynasty so much and directly stated that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, because the Tang Dynasty was founded by her descendants.

Li Longji: The prosperous Tang Dynasty that later generations call it must have been created by me. I didn’t expect that my Kaiyuan prosperous age would be so famous that future generations would yearn for it.

Zhao Kuangyin: The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is indeed fascinating. If Li Longji had not become old and dim, the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty might have lasted for several decades.

Zhao Xu, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty: When will my Song Dynasty be so praised? I hope Wang Anshi's new method can succeed. Only in this way can we get rid of the constraints of the Liao Kingdom.

Su Shi: Chang'an's Roujiamo is indeed a masterpiece. Looking back now, it still tastes good!

Zhu Di: The living conditions of people in later generations are not generally good, and it is so easy for people to eat meat. I just don’t know when my Ming Dynasty will reach this point.

Chongzhen: People in later generations have such good food, but the poor people of Ming Dynasty live in dire straits.

[On the first night, we served Roujiamo on the never-sleeping city of the Tang Dynasty. On the second morning, we started with a steaming bowl of oil tea and twists. Wasn’t the whole fireworks atmosphere instantly filled? After eating, we also packed a piece of cake, and then went straight to Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda to explore the real historical scriptures that Monk Tang brought back from the West. 】

[This Big Wild Goose Pagoda contains the scriptures that Xuanzang, the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, retrieved from the West more than 1200 years ago. It has seven floors in total, and treasures are stored on each floor, waiting for you to explore them one by one, and there are many treasures inside. Baby, I'm sure it will surprise you. 】

[The national intangible cultural heritage that Master Xuanzang worked so hard to retrieve turned out to be a pile of leaves, called the Bay-leaf Sutra. 】

【Are you shocked? So the next morning it was tea, twists and cakes plus the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. 】

"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the few towers built in the Tang Dynasty that can still be climbed. Nowadays, you can climb it once and less once."

"After my mother went there, she came back and called her friends to tell her that there were Master Xuanzang's scriptures and cherries in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

"As someone who lives next to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there really is nothing to see."

"The square in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda should add a performance of Journey to the West. After all, Monk Tang set out from the Tang Dynasty, and the four masters and apprentices finally returned to the Tang Dynasty after learning Buddhist scriptures."

"Uncle: Big Wild Goose Pagoda, what do you think about the bad guy Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"

"I have always had a doubt, how did Tang Xuanzang understand the language there and how did he communicate?"

"When I talk about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I will think of the uncle who introduced Xi'an"

"Tang Monk went to the desert on his way to obtain scriptures and there was no water. When he could no longer hold on, a wild goose took him to find the water source. When he came back, Tang Monk built this pagoda, hence the name Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
