I used space to carry a lot of supplies to escape famine in ancient times
Chapter 62 Cultural Clash
Under the leadership and efforts of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, the New World has shown unprecedented vitality. On the once barren land, new buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The city streets are spacious and clean, with a variety of shops on both sides and bustling crowds of people passing through, full of the breath of life.
In the village, neatly arranged farmhouses are dotted among the green fields, and the golden wheat waves roll in the wind, as if it is a golden painting painted by the earth. In the farmland, people work hard and sow the seeds of hope; in the pasture, herds of cattle and sheep eat fresh green grass leisurely. In the factory, the machines roar, and the workers are busy operating various equipment to produce exquisite products; in the mine, the miners dig diligently, and carts of ore are continuously transported to the factory, providing a solid foundation for economic development.
However, with the influx of foreign population and the rapid development of new civilization, inevitably, cultural clashes with the indigenous people of the New World gradually surfaced. The indigenous people have their own unique cultural traditions, lifestyles and values, which are significantly different from the culture and concepts brought by Gu Qianning and his party.
The indigenous people live in tribes and closely connect with nature. They worship nature and believe that everything in nature is blessed by gods. Their costumes are colorful and the patterns are mostly based on natural elements such as the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, animals and plants, which reflects their awe and love for nature. Their dance is full of primitive power and passion. Through dance, they express their gratitude to nature, respect for gods and love for life. Their music is simple and pure, mostly played with instruments made of natural materials such as bamboo and wood, with brisk rhythm and moving melody.
The arrival of Gu Qianning and her group brought advanced science and technology, industrial production methods and business trade models. They focus on efficiency and profit, and pursue rapid development and change. Their clothing is mainly practical and fashionable, with simple and elegant styles and diverse materials. Their cultural activities are rich and colorful, including poetry recitation, drama performances, painting exhibitions, etc. Their music combines many elements, not only traditional instruments, but also novel instruments and playing methods brought from afar.
This cultural difference caused a series of conflicts and misunderstandings in the initial contact. Once, Gu Qianning's team planned to cut down a forest in order to expand the area of farmland. This forest is sacred in the eyes of the indigenous people and is the residence of the gods. When they saw Gu Qianning's team holding tools to cut down trees, the indigenous people were angry.
"You can't cut down this forest! This is the territory of the gods, and your actions will be punished!" An elder from the indigenous tribe stood up and sternly accused.
Gu Qianning's team believes that if this forest is developed reasonably, it can bring more land and resources to everyone, and does not understand the reaction of the indigenous people.
"We are just making rational use of resources. It would be a waste to leave this forest idle," responded the person in charge of development.
The two sides held their own opinions and refused to give in, and the atmosphere became tense. Eventually, the conflict escalated, and the aborigines took up arms and formed a standoff with Gu Qianning's team.
After Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan learned about this, they rushed to the scene quickly. They realized that if this problem could not be properly resolved, it would not only affect the relationship between the two sides, but also cause serious obstacles to the development of the new continent.
"Everyone calm down first. We need to communicate well and find a solution." Gu Qianning stood between the two sides and said loudly.
Chu Mohan also stepped forward and apologized to the indigenous people: "I'm sorry, we didn't understand in advance how important this forest is to you. We will stop the logging plan and reconsider it."
With the efforts of Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, the two sides temporarily put down their weapons and began to sit down for communication. Gu Qianning patiently listened to the ideas and demands of the aborigines and learned about their reverence for nature and their adherence to traditional culture. At the same time, she also introduced her team's development plan and goals to the aborigines, hoping to gain their understanding and support.
After a long period of communication and negotiation, the two sides finally reached a compromise. Gu Qianning's team gave up the plan to cut down the forest and turned to find other suitable land for development. At the same time, they also promised to fully respect the culture and traditions of the indigenous people in future development, and work with them to develop development plans to ensure that the interests of both parties are protected.
The resolution of this conflict laid the foundation for further communication and understanding between the two sides. In the following days, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan organized a series of cultural exchange activities and invited the aborigines to participate. They held cultural exhibitions to display the costumes, crafts, music, dance, etc. of both sides, so that each side could better understand each other's cultural characteristics. They also organized a food festival to let both sides share their traditional food and experience different food cultures.
At a cultural exhibition, an aboriginal artist displayed a painting he had carefully crafted. The painting showed a colorful natural landscape, with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, animals and plants harmoniously integrated, showing the magic and beauty of nature. Gu Qianning was deeply attracted by the work, and she walked up to communicate with the artist.
"This painting is so beautiful. How did you create such a work?" Gu Qianning asked curiously.
The artist smiled and replied: "This is my praise and respect for nature. I draw inspiration from nature and use my brush to record the world in my eyes."
Gu Qianning nodded and said, "I understand. Your work has given me a new understanding and feeling of nature."
Through such exchanges, the two sides gradually discovered that although their cultures were different, they also had many commonalities. They all yearned for and pursued a better life and hoped that this new continent would prosper and develop. Based on mutual understanding and respect, the relationship between the two sides became increasingly harmonious.
The aborigines began to learn advanced agricultural technology and industrial production methods from Gu Qianning's team to improve their living standards. Gu Qianning's team also learned nature worship, traditional dance, music and handicrafts from the aborigines, enriching their own cultural connotations.
During a harvest festival, the two sides jointly held a grand celebration. The indigenous people danced happily and played wonderful music; Gu Qianning's team brought exquisite food and gifts to share the joy of the harvest with the indigenous people. During the event, everyone was equal, and laughter and joy echoed throughout the new continent.
As time went by, the cultures of both sides gradually merged to form a unique new culture. This new culture not only retained the traditional characteristics of the aboriginal culture, but also incorporated the advanced elements brought by Gu Qianning and his team, injecting new vitality into the development of the New World.
