In the main venue with the best view, a stage has been set up, called the VIP area, for the visiting dignitaries to watch.

From the stands in the VIP area, you can clearly see the performances on the big stage opposite, and the main track of the Sheep Catching Competition, which is the highlight, also passes under the stands in the VIP area. Sitting in the VIP seats, you can see it clearly from a high position.

Of course, ordinary people's audiences don't get this treatment.

Rows of temporary fences blocked them from the arena, forcing them to watch through the fences.

Inside the arena, there were signs and banners of businesses everywhere. These modern things made Chen Tianhua feel dizzy, as if he had returned to his previous modern world.

God is still very kind today. The sun climbed out early and hung high in the sky. Although it only emitted a meager amount of heat, it made everyone feel warm in their hearts.

"Commander, madam, sirs, please!"

Bai Yan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who was responsible for the overall planning of the New Year's Day celebration, bowed slightly to Chen Tianhua and his party. Xiao Shun, a businessman standing on the side, respectfully held an ox-horn bow inlaid with gold and diamonds, a specially made

The sound of dysprosium.

Chen Tianhua stood up and took the bow and arrow with both hands. This meaning is similar to the celebration meeting in later generations, where leaders cut the ribbon or declare the opening.

The shot fired by the Generalissimo represents the official beginning of the first lunar month celebration in Meiguang New Town.

Chen Tianhua walked to the edge of the high platform with a smile. This was the first time for him to cut the ribbon at such a grand festival event, and he was still very excited.

With the appearance of the Generalissimo on the high platform, there was a slight commotion among the tens of thousands of people who had prepared themselves in the huge main venue. After the guards shouted loudly, everything finally calmed down.

The drummers raised the drumsticks in their hands high, and just waiting for the sound of the hammer, they beat the big cowhide drum in front of them hard.

Lining up the bow and arrow, pointing to the sky, Chen Tianhua clasped the dynamite with three fingers, slowly pulled out the bowstring, loosened his fingers, and the dynamite with a sharp whistling sound soared into the sky.

At the same time, hundreds of cowhide drums were beating simultaneously.

In the main venue, nearly a thousand men and women in costumes walked toward the venue, singing and dancing.

"Commander, madam, sirs, this is the first part of the celebration, called praying to heaven, which means a dance to pray to heaven." Bai Yan, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, proudly explained to Chen Tianhua and others.

"Yeah, it's very good..."

"It's so beautiful, I've never seen it before."

"..."

Before Chen Tianhua could open his mouth to praise, Li Shuzhen, the women, and the children on the stage were already talking about it and applauding him repeatedly.

The dance was also accompanied by high-pitched prayer songs, and the audience in the venue burst into warm applause from time to time, saying that the ticket money was well spent.

In this era, ordinary people's spare time life was extremely poor. For them, singing and dancing were like a luxury. They usually listened to local operas and watched some dramas. They had never seen such large-scale singing and dancing.

No wonder they were so drunk.

"Commander, this is to pray for a good harvest in the coming year." Bai Yan came up again and explained.

He was worried that Chen Tianhua wouldn't understand.

In fact, this is completely redundant. The songs and dances of later generations are much more complicated and colorful than this, and he can appreciate them. Moreover, this one is the most laborious to arrange, and it is still relatively monotonous.

But it is not easy to be able to arrange a song and dance of such a level in a short period of time, which shows that Bai Yan and the others have put in a lot of effort.

Chen Tianhua thought so in his heart and praised with a smile: "It's quite good. This dance will take a long time to rehearse!"

Bai Yan told the truth and said:

"That's not necessary. This is a song that people from the nearby mountain tribes often dance and sing, and they are all very familiar with it. As for large-scale songs and dances with nearly a thousand people gathered from all over the country to practice together in advance, it only requires a little practice."

While the two were talking, the dance in the audience began to change again, like waves. The dancers rushed toward the main stage one after another. When they were approaching the stage, they seemed to have touched a rock.

Then he rolled it back again, in order.

"This is a carol!" Bai Yan said, "They are blessing and saluting the Generalissimo!"

After hearing this, Chen Tianhua could not help but reveal a bright smile on his face. He stood up straight, stared at the dancers in the audience, and waved to them.

…

After the grand opening song and dance, it is the Mongolian sheep-catching competition that attracts the most attention.

As the singing and dancing performers exited, the majestic war horses entered the starting point in the distance under the control of the riders.

The starting point was several miles away, and when viewed from the stage, only a few figures were blurred. Chen Tianhua and the others regretted not bringing binoculars.

The end of the game is under the main stage. The knights rush here from a distance. Whoever holds the Aries is the winner.

Chen Tianhua retreated to his seat. Mingcheng and Mingquan, two brothers and sisters, sat beside him, one on the left and one on the right. They were so excited that no one else could.

Although Mingcheng was very happy, even though he was ten years old, he could still control his emotions, but Mingquan could not. His face turned red and his palms became red.

When she saw Chen Tianhua coming back, she shouted happily:

"Dad, this is so beautiful. It's so worth it for us to come out here to celebrate the New Year! If I had known, I should have come a long time ago, what do you think, mother!"

Li Shuzhen, who was standing next to her, glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "Girls should be more reserved. Didn't your teachers in school teach you that?"

Mingquan stuck out his tongue, lowered his head guiltily, and snuggled into his father's arms.

Chen Tianhua stroked her head lovingly and said to Li Shuzhen: "Don't be too serious with your children. They are doing the three obediences and four virtues, the three cardinal guides and the five constant virtues. It is their nature to be lively and cute."

"You..." Li Shuzhen choked suddenly and was about to fight back. When she saw many people around her looking at them, she swallowed her words and glanced at Chen Tianhua.

Chen Tianhua ignored his wife's actions. He glanced around with a smile and continued to watch the program.

With a bang, there was a faint sound of drums in the distance, and then, one after another, the sound of drums came from far and near, reaching the main stage in an instant.

After the nearest drum on the main stage started beating, hundreds of drums in the venue started beating at the same time.

"Dong...dong dong..."

“Dong dong… da da… dong dong dong…”

"..."

The passionate drum beat is like a battle call.

I saw a white shadow flashing past a sentry tower erected high in the distance. It was the organizer who dropped a white sheep.

Hundreds of knights moved their horses at the same time, passing by like lightning. In the chaos, it was not clear who came out on top. They leaned down and grabbed the white sheep in their hands.

At this time, the knights were still far away from the main point. Chen Tianhua reached out and called Lu Daoming, who was standing next to him and was responsible for the security of the venue, and whispered:

"Daoming, how are your men's skills? I'm talking about the next sheep-catching competition. We don't want to be the final winner, but we can't lose face no matter what. Don't rush to the finish line. The first group of knights

There are none of your subordinates."
