Extremely Precious

It's Christmas again every year. As a thousand-year-old ancient capital, Nancheng has always had a tradition of making wishes to the gods on this day. From the beginning, every family closed their eyes and prayed before dinner, then later gathered people to go to church, and now, it has evolved into the most grand annual festival in Nancheng.   In addition to being a thousand-year-old ancient capital, Nancheng is also known as the "Banquet City" because it is extremely wealthy and hosts constant banquets of all sizes. If the 15th Golden Banquet is famous for its luxury, then the Christmas party is famous for its grandeur, because it does not have an excessively high threshold as the former, but is the participation of all people, regardless of class, and all living beings are equal.   There is a moat in Nancheng called "Baishui River". It is connected to Beishi to the north but is blocked, and to the south is blocked from the South China Sea. A huge whirlpool forms at the mouth of the sea and pours into the ground. It nourishes the land along the pipes extending in all directions. It has been inexhaustible for hundreds of years and is uniquely blessed by nature. The surface of the Baishui River is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, hence its name. However, the old people who have lived here for generations have told a strange legend about this river - walking along the upper reaches of the Baishui River is the place where the gods live. The Baishui River was actually the Black Water River in the beginning, which contained the sins of the ancestors of Nancheng, and was later absorbed by the blood of the gods. After purification and forgiveness of sins, today's "Baishui River" has emerged. Nancheng has prospered to this day. From the elderly to naughty children, many people want to follow the river to find out. However, the upper middle reaches is the territory of the YH family, the head of the fifteen golds, and the lower reaches of the sea are the territory of the Yin family, so there is really no way to know. There is also a non-mainstream version of this river that it is an "ominous river". As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. In the early years, fishermen settled here, hoping that this large river running from north to south would ensure their food and clothing. , But who would have thought that a fish and a half shrimp have never been caught, which has ruined the livelihood of countless people. A group of fishermen complained about the injustice of God, and dragged their families and drowned themselves in the river. The ghosts of the injustice are still there, so they call it an "ominous river." But no matter what, Nancheng has always attached great importance to tradition and is most afraid of violating taboos. Whether it offends the gods or provokes ghosts, it is absolutely forbidden. Therefore, Nancheng people have an unwritten rule: the three prohibitions on Baishui River are no fishing, no crossing, and no entering the water. Everyone respects and fears this river. Every Christmas, they come here to pray for blessings. The water and the sky meet, and countless bright lights and people are reflected on the river surface. It is truly a grand scene.   On this day, the fireworks show, fireworks, and fireworks are so beautiful. Crowds gathered on both sides of the Baishui River. When midnight came and the ancient clock in the central square rang, people sent their sky lanterns into the night sky. Then they clasped their fists, lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and silently prayed to the gods in their hearts. Tens of thousands of lanterns illuminated the sky above their heads, and each one carried the beautiful wishes in people's hearts: "May I be named on the gold medal list." "May the whole family be safe and healthy." "Luck continues." "Let it happen." "I hope I get better and better." "I miss you, and I love you." "Everything goes well and all your wishes come true." "May everything be well for my mother in heaven." … This is the "Lights of Ten Thousands of Houses and the Galaxy of the World" that belong exclusively to this ancient city. Intention: How lucky I am to meet you, know each other, accompany you, fall in love, and stay with you for the rest of my life.
