After deciding on the guidelines for the construction of the financial center, the three grandmasters were very enthusiastic and opened a bottle of corn wine to celebrate.

After taking a few sips, Xiao Su suddenly asked, "If the San Francisco Bay metropolitan area can be built into a financial city, it should be the highest stage of urban development, right?"

"No, no, no. Ji Aojian put down his glass, "The financial center is far from the end, and the next step is to become a cultural center." ”

"Cultural center?"

"It's scary to be uneducated. If a region is only economically developed, but has not made achievements in spiritual civilization, it will be regarded as a nouveau riche by others. Ji Aojian said, "For example, in the eyes of Europeans, the United States is a cultural desert. ”

"So the image of the Americans is the nouveau riche?"

"At the moment, it's not even an upstart, it's just a hillbilly. Ji Aojian explained, "When the output value of the United States exceeds that of all European countries, it can be called an upstart." After more than 100 years of cultural export, it was barely considered a bit of culture, and it was mainly a fast food culture. ”

Ji Qingsu somewhat understood, "It seems that the construction of the cultural center is a difficult and long-term project. ”

"It's hard to say it's difficult, and it's easy to say it's easy. Ji Aojian said, "We in China have a brilliant 5,000-year-old culture, as long as we pay attention to carrying forward the tradition here, the field of spiritual civilization will not be a blank." ”

"So how should the tradition be carried forward?"

"First of all, we can legislate to make some traditional festivals legal holidays in California, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Qixi Festival, ......"

Ji Aojian explained further. "As a new industrial city, it is not yet ready to take Sunday off. Then add some festivals appropriately for everyone to hold festivities. It will be able to adjust the dull and heavy work for the workers. ”

"That's right. Ji Qingsu nodded repeatedly, "It's a very good idea to set up a traditional festival." ”

"What to do next, you should have a number. ”

"Then are we copying all the domestic systems and etiquette?"

"While tradition is indispensable, it cannot be replicated in its entirety. Ji Aojian shook his head, "Because there are many red tape, stale and conservative contents in traditional culture." Streamlining is a must. ”

"Since we are in an area built by immigrants, we should travel light. It is necessary not only to properly inherit the tradition, but also to carry forward the modern characteristics. Fusion creates a unique culture with vitality, so as to adapt to the requirements of the times and develop better. ”

The Governor pondered, "What is that characteristic of immigrant culture?"

"Aggressive. Strive for progress. Concise and crisp, these elements are the main cultural style of an immigrant city. ”

Ji Ao kendao, "The United States is a country of immigrants. Americans do not have the same long-standing traditions as in Europe, nor do they have an aristocratic royal family that can embody noble status, so they emphasize that this is a land of freedom and equality, without the tyranny of royal power, only free air. ”

"Isn't it that the cultural image of the Americans is the main thing? Do you represent freedom?"

"Yes, because freedom has always been promoted. The United States, which retains slavery, seems to be more civilized than other countries. "Ji Ao Kendo," this is the benefit of cultural construction. ”

Tian Daoquan couldn't help asking, "If Americans say that they represent freedom, will others believe it?"

"Thanks to the French, who sent a huge Statue of Liberty on the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the United States. Ji Aojian said, "The Statue of Liberty has always stood on the East Coast and has become an eye-catching banner for image promotion, an important value totem, and a strong cultural symbol." She is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that when the world wants to interpret the meaning of the word freedom, they often choose Lady Liberty as the accompanying picture. ”

Ji Qingsu thought for a moment, "Then this Statue of Liberty should belong to the construction of a successful culture?"

"Absolutely successful. Ji Aojian said without hesitation, "Just over a hundred years later, this Statue of Liberty has been selected as a World Cultural Heritage Site! You see, they have all become representatives of human cultural works, what a glorious achievement." ”

"Then we can't lag behind!" Ji Qingsu clenched his fists, "This is Dream City, we can build a statue of the goddess of dreams and promote it to the world, this is the place where dreams come true!"

Ji Aojian smiled proudly in his heart, I will wait for your words.

"Brother, what do you think of my thoughts?"

"Xiao Su, your idea is very good, I completely agree. Ji Aojian said with a calm face, "And you don't have to worry about falling behind, the Statue of Liberty was erected in the port of New York after more than forty years." ”

Ji Qingsu was even happier, "The Statue of Liberty will come out in a few decades, and it will be selected as a world cultural heritage in the future." If we build the statue of the goddess of dreams early, it should be selected. ”

"You're right. ”

"Well, I'd like to ask. Tiandaoquan whispered, "This goddess of dreams, is it the fourth lady?"

Ji Qingsu nodded, "That's right, it's the fourth sister." ”

"If you want to erect a statue for the fourth lady, did you ask her opinion first?"

She came to America to preach, and by erecting an image of God, she would be able to make her mission more effective. Ji Qingsu said disapprerovingly, "As long as the people of the Americas believe in the Fourth Sister, she will soon become a Buddha of all families, and then she can use her divine power to bless our new city." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "Quan'er, Buddhism is also popular in Dongying, you should know that believers can worship the great monks on their own without their consent." ”

"I just often hear you say that Miss Fourth is moody, and I'm afraid she will be angry with you. ”

"She won't be angry about this. Ji Aojian said with great certainty.

erect the statue, but the idea of "Sister Xiao Su", not to mention that the goods will definitely be happy, but I want to be angry, but I am afraid that I don't have the courage.

Ji Qingsu urged, "Without further ado, let's hurry up and start designing the shape of the statue." ”

After finding a pen and paper, Ji Ao swordsman. "Xiao Su, it's up to you to create. ”

"This, this ......" Ji Qingsu bit the tip of his pen. "Brother, you draw the Statue of Liberty first, let me refer to it. ”

Ji Aojian sketched a sketch and explained, "The goddess holds the torch high in her right hand, symbolizing the beacon of freedom and democracy. In his left hand, he holds the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a symbol of his commitment to civil rights. ”

"There is!" Ji Qingsu said immediately. "We can have the fourth sister hold a pumpkin head lantern in her right hand, a beacon that symbolizes freedom and democracy!"

“......”

Ji Ji Aojian almost didn't fall, "Although the fourth sister likes pumpkin heads very much." But if you make such an image, she will definitely run away. ”

"Why do you run wild, isn't this cute?"

"Let's draw a statue of a god holding a pumpkin's head aloft and see what the effect is!"

Ji Qingsu thought about it sideways. Pick up the pen and draw. Then I looked carefully and looked at it again.

"Like, it's a little bit too serious?"

Ji Aojian snorted, "If this statue stands on the harbor, people from all over the world will have to laugh and collapse on the deck when they come, and it will even kill people." ”

Xiao Su said embarrassedly, "Then the fourth sister also raises a torch?"

"With the torch, it feels like it is plagiarizing posterity. Ji Aojian suggested. He simply held a tent of flames in his hand, reflecting the boundless power of the goddess. ”

"Hmm. Ji Qingsu nodded. "As a god, if you want wind and wind, you want rain and rain, and naturally you can also have fire and fire. ”

"Now that the Goddess of Dreams is holding the flame in her right hand, how can she design her left hand?"

Ji Qingsu looked at the Statue of Liberty, "I also have a book in my left hand." ”

"Isn't this the same as the Statue of Liberty again?"

"But the book she took was different, the fourth sister didn't take the Declaration of Human Rights. ”

"Oh, and what book is she carrying?"

"There are four big characters engraved on the cover: Demon Gate Treasure Book!"

"You wait. Ji Aojian was surprised, "Why did even the Demon Gate Treasure Book pop out?"

"The fourth sister is a witch, we always have to reflect a little bit of demon culture in the design of the statue, right?"

"The so-called Demon Gate culture is just a term for non-mainstream culture. Ji Aojian shook his head, "Since we want to widely spread the belief in the fourth sister in the Americas, she has changed from a witch to a goddess, and naturally she should appear in front of the world with a tall face, but she can no longer show the roots of the demon gate." ”

"So that's the case, if you don't take the Demon Gate Treasure Book, then what should you take?" Ji Qingsu thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Heavenly Dao girl, what do you have in mind?"

"I think California is still part of Mexico, and the national flower of Mexico is the cactus. Tiandaoquan replied, "Why don't you hold a pot of cactus in your left hand?"

"Girl, I'm completely desperate for your imagination!"

Ji Aojian was heartbroken, "The joyful effect of this cactus is no worse than a pumpkin head." ”

"What's wrong with cacti?" Ji Qingsu was unhappy, "This can represent the spirit of the goddess of dreams who overcame obstacles and worked hard in the desert overgrown with cacti." ”

Tiandaoquan was pleasantly surprised, "Miss Su, do you think the cactus is good?"

"Just put the cactus at your feet, it's the best fit. ”

Ji Qingsu drew on the paper, "Tiandao girl, you see, the fourth sister is surrounded by thorns, the road is blue, and she is constantly cultivating, which can best symbolize the labor spirit of immigrants." ”

Tiandaoquan took the pen and added a few pumpkins to the cactus, "The dream is not far away, as long as the labor of the hands and the watering of sweat, no matter how barren the land is, it can bear abundant fruits." ”

The two girls immediately happily held hands, "In this way, the two elements of pumpkin and cactus are used!"

Ji Aojian was silent.

"Brother, who did you just say has no imagination?"

"I take back what I just said. Ji Aojian coughed, "Your idea is good, but the problem of your left hand has not been solved yet." ”

"Just raise a weapon in your left hand. Ji Qingsu had an idea, "The fourth sister can hold a nine-tailed whip, which means that the goddess is 'spurring' everyone, and she can't be indulgent and indulgent." ”

"Spurring is not the way to go. Ji Aojian objected, "Everyone knows that it is a torture instrument in prison, a goddess openly grabbing a nine-tailed cat, what kind of system is it?"

"And what do you think?"

"I think she could hold on to a chain......"

"A goddess plays with chains, this image is not much better, is it?"

"I'm not done yet. Ji Aojian patiently explained, "She is not playing with the chains, but breaking the chains!"

"Break?"

"yes. Ji Aojian drew on the picture, "Chains are such things as symbolizing tyrannical shackles. Then breaking the chains means gaining freedom and liberation. ”

Ji Qingsu looked at it for a while, "It seems to be a little interesting, how did you come up with this design?"

"When I saw her at the horse god festival, she used a long chain wrapped around her body as a weapon, tying herself up like a rice dumpling. ”

"Then the idol will also be tied into rice dumplings?"

"You don't have to do it so much, just go around it or twice, and you can do it. ”

Ji Aojian stood up and gestured with his fist, "The statue of the god faces the sky with his right hand, and holds up the raging flames with a posture of 'raising fire and burning the sky'. The left arm was swung out, and with a 'Overlord Removal Armor' move, the heavy chain was broken. ”

"Brother, don't move. Xiao Su immediately said, "I'll draw your movements now and use them as a reference." ”

Tiandaoquan said, "If you create a statue of a god in this posture, those who know how to do it will know that the goddess has peerless martial arts." ”

Soon after, the Governor drew an image of the design.

Ji Aojian said, "Now let's summarize the design concept of the statue: the goddess holds the flame in her right hand, symbolizing bringing light and dreams to people! The left hand tears the chains, symbolizing breaking the tyranny and guiding the people to fight for freedom and liberation! Walking in the thorn bush under your feet symbolizes one step at a time, with hard work, there is hope for harvest!"

The two girls nodded together, "Yes, that's it!" (to be continued......)
