Ye Qingping said: "Tianshu, in a few days, an artist living in Japan will come to Qingyuan to participate in an art fair and hold a painting, calligraphy and photography exhibition. You need to prepare, so that it can be grand without letting too many people know about it.

"

Ordinary artists come to Qingyuan to hold exhibitions, but the dignified municipal Party committee secretary will not pay attention to them.

Promotion in the officialdom relies first on political performance and secondly on connections.

Chu Tianshu immediately realized that this artist living in Japan must have a great background, and Ye Qingping did not want to make it too public. His purpose was that as long as the artist knew what he was doing, there was no need to alarm too many people.

After being in official circles for a long time, Chu Tianshu also heard about the famous works in certain art exhibitions, so he tentatively asked: "Secretary Ye, what works are there? Do you want me to arrange for Xiao Wei to buy a few?"

Ye Qingping shook his head and said: "Xiaowei's money is not tight at the moment, so there is no need to worry about this aspect. Just arrange the venue and do a good job with the reception. I will make my own arrangements for other matters."

Chu Tianshu said: "Okay, I understand, we will start preparing tomorrow."

It was three o'clock in the morning and the sun was in the sky. Chu Tianshu was about to get a parasol, but Ye Qingping stretched himself and said, "Tianshu, that's it for today."

After packing up the fishing gear, Chu Tianshu drove Ye Qingping back home in an off-road vehicle.

After changing his Lingyunzhi sedan, Chu Tianshu called Wei Shijie's mobile phone. However, after calling several times, the call was connected, but no one answered. After calling Yan Jieyu, he found out that this guy was a big guy.

I went to Longyang Lake Golf Club early.

Needless to say, Wei Shijie is accompanying Lang Maocai.

Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly and shook his head. This guy was about to become a favorite. Not only did he win Ye Qingping's favor, he also became Lang Maocai's guest.

…

On the course of Longyang Lake Golf Club.

Lang Maocai and Wei Shijie were wearing golf shirts and playing golf.

The female caddy Li Xinran followed them not far or near.

When ordering the caddy, Lang Maocai said, just number 36, any more would be a waste.

Wei Shijie is a well-known handsome man, and he looks even more heroic when he puts on a refreshing jersey.

Lang Maocai wears a white ball cap, a rose-red, off-white and white horizontal striped T-shirt and beige casual pants. From head to toe, he is made of golf brand Way (Calaway), paired with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

, is also gentle and elegant, but her belly, which has begun to gain weight, looks a little uncoordinated.

Li Xinran wore a pure white caddy shirt, which made her even more charming.

Lang Maocai is a loyal fan of golf, and he talks freely as soon as he steps onto the green golf course.

Wei Shijie's knowledge of golf was very limited, and he often couldn't talk to Lang Maocai's gushing, and could only nod in agreement.

Lang Maocai seemed unhappy and asked casually: "Do you know where golf originated?"

"That's too easy, Scotland!" Wei Shijie replied.

"Wrong!" Lang Maocai looked at Li Xinran: "Ranran, what do you think?"

After getting along several times, Lang Maocai's address to caddy No. 36 changed from "Xiao Li" to calling him by his nickname.

"It must have been in China at the earliest! Documents have been recorded as early as the Song Dynasty." Li Xinran's voice was not high, but she was confident: "At that time, it was not called golf, it was called 'Chui Wan'."

"Correct!" Lang Maocai praised.

"Hey! The Chinese are so funny! It's not enough to have invented the *, the compass, and papermaking. They even have to seize the right to invent golf." Wei Shijie disagreed.

"You don't understand this. The ancient Chinese game of 'chuiwan' is most similar to modern golf. There are also clubs, which are wooden sticks with the ends made into spheres, called 'sticks'; the sticks are divided into different parts according to the need for hitting. There are many styles, similar to today's irons, and they are divided into wooden clubs; the ball is called a "pill", which is either made of horn bone or extra wood; the hole is called a "nest", and hitting the ball into the hole means the ball goes into the hole. ; In ancient China, the "Cui Wan" developed into the Ming Dynasty and had "ten nests", and colorful flags of different colors were placed around the "nests". Think about it, is this similar to modern golf? China The ancient hammering ball was much more advanced than the Scottish shepherds who used wooden sticks to drive stones into hare holes! From the accidental behavior of Scottish shepherds hitting stones into holes, it developed to the first old golf course in St. Amfalus for people to play ball. It is already the 15th century; in China, a complete record of the Chui Wan ball game was written in 1282. The book is called "Wan Jing". The book describes in detail the setting of the venue, the rules of the game, and the equipment used. Hitting techniques, winning tactics, etc. I even think that the Scots may have obtained the book "The Pill Sutra" through the Silk Road and learned the art of hammering pills, which promoted the development of golf!"

"However, I heard that golf was first introduced to China in 1916, and in 1917, the Shanghai Hongqiao Golf Association began operations. The course at that time was a nine-hole course. Later, the sport became popular in mainland China for a long time. Silent." In order to accompany Lang Maocai, Wei Shijie did some research online.

"Stop endorsing it!" Lang Maocai interrupted Wei Shijie and continued to talk, "There are very few people playing golf in China today because the cost is too high. In ancient times, the ball-playing game was very popular in the market. Have you ever heard of the idiom "a hundred steps can pierce a poplar"? It refers to superior archery skills. In the operas of the Yuan Dynasty, there is a saying of "chuiwan shoots willow". Since Chuiwan and archery can be compared, it can be seen that they are common things of ordinary people. joy."

Wei Shijie was speechless, while Li Xinran covered her mouth and smiled.

Wei Shijie suddenly felt that Li Xinran's "sweet smile" seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Lang Maocai glanced at Li Xinran and asked, "Do you know where the best golf course in the country is?"

Wei Shijie thought for a while and said: "When it comes to hardware facilities, of course the golf courses in first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are better. For example, Mission Hills in Shenzhen, Reignwood in Beijing, and Sheshan in Shanghai."

Lang Maocai nodded and continued: "To be more distinctive, I'm afraid we have to count those stadiums located in second-tier or even third-tier cities, such as those in Yunnan and Dalian."

"What are their characteristics?" Wei Shijie asked.

Lang Maocai said: "There are two golf courses in Yunnan that are famous in the industry. They are the Chuncheng Lakeside Course in Kunming and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Course in Lijiang. The Chuncheng Lakeside Course is located on the bank of the rippling Yangzonghai Lake, and the golf course is surrounded by natural pine trees. Lin, surrounded by mountains, water and sky are of the same color. Many friends from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia have a special liking for Spring City Lake. They often fly to Kunming to play golf on weekends and call it the 'Asian Golf Paradise'. Lijiang's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Course is located at 3100 On a plateau with an altitude of 100 meters, it is the golf course with the longest fairway in the world and the only snow mountain golf course in Asia. The front nine holes and the back nine holes have completely different styles based on the natural landscape, and the layout is exquisite and elegant."
