All things in the world are included.

However, the more dazzling it is, the easier it is to be blinded by superficial phenomena and forget to see the truth behind things.

No doubt this is a common regret.

Just like the question of why the New Year Garden Party in Tiantan Park is so popular.

In the eyes of ordinary people in the capital, it may be the eating, drinking, entertainment and folk performances mentioned above.

Perhaps it is a "lantern tiger" game that everyone can actively participate in, a small prize that can be won through talent.

Perhaps it is the ice lanterns, foreign snacks and foreign gadgets that can only be seen at the New Year Garden Party in the Temple of Heaven Park, as well as the only official exhibition of the "Journey to the West" crew in the Temple of Heaven, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas played by a special actor.

From the perspective of foreign tourists, perhaps what attracts them is the temple fair culture in the capital, in which men, women, and children of all ages come to participate.

The temple fair vendors sell handicrafts, snacks and local specialties.

Perhaps there are also the Beijing-style drums and the melodious tunes of Sanxian'er in the antique teahouse, which are filled with teagoers holding tureens and listening to the music.

Maybe it’s the imperial hotpot dishes sold at Tan Palace Restaurant, or maybe it’s the costumes that everyone can wear to film a Qing palace drama in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Surrounded by guards and maids, you have the unique experience of pretending to be a fake emperor or queen.

In fact, only real operators will understand that all these splendid events ultimately point to one thing - group cultural activities with a strong carnival spirit.

This carnival spirit is a way for people to vent their emotions. It needs to be appreciated by both refined and popular people. It is a wanton indulgence within the limits and protection of the law, regardless of class or level.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Temple of Heaven New Year Garden Party is so successful is entirely due to the successful creation of a cultural atmosphere.

Here, people can have fun alone or in groups.

No matter men, women, old or young, regardless of Chinese or foreign, everyone can find something that interests them and find happiness enough to make them forget the worries of reality.

Therefore, there is this piece of paradise on earth that is comparable to the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

No one is exempt from this, not even Ning Weimin.

Otherwise, he would not be able to blend in happily.

Of course, Ning Weimin must be a special one among all tourists, perhaps the most special one.

What's special is not only that he personally designed this garden party, but also that he is a relatively high-level person.

Not only is he rich, but he's also fucking elegant.

Therefore, his preferences and fun are fundamentally different from most people.

Unlike those vulgar people, he only likes nipple fun, scorns fun that requires cultural thresholds, and avoids subtle beauty.

It is not like those poor people who are educated but have no money in their pockets. They always like to think of themselves as noble and define the level of art by self-admiration that is separated from the public.

What he loves to do most is always finding ways to make "elegance" useful.

We are always combining reality, trying to maximize the potential of artworks and continue to create economic value.

If nothing else, just entering the Zhai Palace to visit the sculpture art exhibition, Ning Weimin is different from ordinary people.

Ordinary tourists come to visit Zhai Palace and see these award-winning works.

What we pay attention to is usually the work itself, and we appreciate the beauty expressed by the plastic arts.

Maybe you’ll even take a photo with the work as a souvenir.

Not Ning Weimin.

What his eyes were looking for and what his mind was thinking about were which sculptures were eye-catching enough and suitable to be placed in Ma's Garden or Tan Palace Restaurant for landscaping purposes.

Once he finds something that interests him, he will take out his notebook and record the content of the tags of the work attentively.

Such as material, size and author's name, so that you can negotiate in the future and buy it for a small amount of money.

For him, is art that cannot be converted into money still called art?

Since he has this convenience, of course he has to keep more of the good things he likes in his arms to get enough benefits.

The same scene happened one after another in the main hall of the Beishen Kitchen Sacrifice Pavilion.

You should know that after New Year's Day this year, Tan Palace Restaurant, together with the "Arts Association", followed last year's practice and continued to hold the Sculpture Art Exhibition Awards Ceremony at Beishen Kitchen.

In addition to awarding awards to the award-winning sculptors, industry experts organized by the "Arts Association" also selected some outstanding works of art from the art industry in the capital to be exhibited in the main hall of the Sacrifice Pavilion.

It was also interviewed and photographed by "Art" magazine for publicity and reporting.

There are seven works of art that have the honor to be featured in this professional magazine this year.

The first is the "Twelve Gods of Flowers" assembly that Jiang Sanchang, representing Donghua City Materials Factory, finally completed.

The second is a pastel porcelain figurine from "The Romance of the West Chamber" made by Liu Yongqing, who represents the Beijing Arts and Crafts Factory.

The third is the beautiful agate "Hehe Fushou" from the Jade Factory.

The fourth is the jade "Lotus Lamp" from the jade factory.

The fifth is the jade factory's coral "Rebound Pipa Music Lotte"

The sixth is the ivory horizontal plate "Five Hundred Arhats Crossing the Sea" from the Ivory Carving Factory.

The seventh is the gold display "Forbidden City Corner Tower" made by Master Zhang Chongming, the descendant of the "Filigree King" of the gold inlay factory.

It is a pity that the Palace Lantern Factory, which was once in the limelight last year with its "Mahogany Inlaid Jadeite Kowloon Bead Lamp", and the Brocade Box Factory, which was famous for its silk figures, were not included in the list this time because they were unable to introduce new products.

But then again, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Because this undoubtedly means that the overall level of the exhibits sent has improved.

In particular, the quality of products produced through cooperation between art schools and handicraft factories has been confirmed, and facts have proved that this path of improving the artistic taste of products and eliminating craftsmanship is feasible.

For example, the Ivory Engraving Factory's "Five Hundred Arhats Crossing the Sea", a large horizontal panel, was produced in collaboration with the National Academy of Fine Arts.

According to the design manuscript issued by the Academy of Fine Arts, the craftsmen of the ivory factory engraved the five hundred Arhats with different images on an ivory material weighing 5 kilograms and more than two meters long.

They were riding dragons, tigers, lions, elephants, deer, unicorns, rhinos and other mythical beasts, leaping on the turbulent water waves. The characters, animals and waves were carved in fine and vivid ways.

Another example is the large gold furnishing "Forbidden City Corner Tower" with nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges made using filigree inlay technology.

This is also a product of cooperation with the Academy of Arts and Crafts.

Not only is the main body made of gold, but the walls of the turret are made of more than 2,000 pieces of jasper inlaid with gold wire.

The eaves are decorated with tiger's eye stone, the pillars are made of agate stone, and the railings are inlaid with turquoise.

Anyone who looks at it will see that it is "ingenious and extremely valuable".

And the key point is that since these things are placed here, Ning Weimin naturally has the right of first refusal.

Nowadays, no matter in terms of financial resources or friendship, there is a high probability that no one will compete with him, and the price will be very cost-effective.

After all, the market for this kind of pure industrial art has not yet taken off in China, and the current price is still calculated based on the purchase price of foreign trade companies.

To put it bluntly, the prices offered by foreign trade companies to these handicraft factories have always been so shady.

Even if their average purchase price were to increase several times, it would still be completely acceptable to Ning Weimin, and he would not suffer any loss at all.

In a few more years, there won't be such a beautiful thing.

Therefore, Ning Weimin must be more fascinated and enjoyable than others.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to miss anything.

I have unconsciously regarded these precious items as my own.

At the same time, I silently began to figure out which of these things would be left at Tan Gong Restaurant and which would be moved to Ma's Garden after I bought them.

However, just when he was lost in thought and thinking about beautiful things, he was recognized by someone.

As the saying goes, fire cannot be contained in paper.

But Ning Weimin kept a low profile and didn't even take advantage of free tickets.

He has been deliberately hiding among tourists, not wanting to attract attention, but just wanting to enjoy the most natural sightseeing experience.

But this place is no better than anywhere else.

Everyone is from Tan Gong Restaurant, who doesn’t recognize what their big boss looks like?

What's more, Ning Weimin has only been in Japan for half a year, and it's not long enough for everyone to forget about him.

Not to mention that the security officers of Tan Palace are all experts from special departments, and their vigilance cannot even compare to that of ordinary police officers.

So as soon as he stayed in the slaughtering booth for a long time, he became an iron nail wrapped in lotus leaves-it was immediately punctured.

A security officer who was specially guarding here and responsible for maintaining order looked more and more familiar to him, and finally recognized him.

He was very professional, had no expression on his face, and walked out of the main hall of the Sacrifice Pavilion very calmly.

Then he used the walkie-talkie to notify his superiors.

That was the security equipment Ning Weimin originally allocated money to buy.

The call is clear and the communication distance is 6 kilometers. It is easy to use.

As a result, he himself "folded" this thing today.

What is this called?
