In fact, as early as around 1999, during the recording of the album "That Year", Xu Wei had already suffered from depression.

Regarding this, he said this on Phoenix TV many years later.

When recording "That Year", he would wake up every morning and listen to the music of U2 and The Beatles, and then take Prozac to give himself strength through music.

During this period, there was also a conflict with the contract company due to the contract renewal. At that time, Xu Wei wanted to terminate the contract with the company, and "That Year" was still in the production process.

In the end, the album was hastily ended and launched to the market without his knowledge, and no one took over the subsequent promotion. In other words, no one was in charge of the album.

Fortunately, after recording this album in 1999, he returned to Chang'an. For nearly a year, he stopped listening to music, playing the piano, and reading. When he woke up, he would go for a run in the park.

It can be seen that getting out of the haze of depression in such a short period of time has a lot to do with self-cultivation during this period.

However, because the cause of depression is still unknown, there is no cure. Depression, loss of interest, or even pessimism still exist, which is still something that modern medicine cannot do at present. Completely resolved.

So Liu Qingshan's miraculous medical skills came into play, but he did not express them because he believed that letting Xu Wei feel grateful to him in the future would also be detrimental to his complete mental recovery.

In his eyes, Xu Wei is a real musician, far greater than the plagiarized music practitioners like himself.

Such a person should not be happy about things, not feel sad about himself, and should have nothing to do with the world.

Then on this colorful road of music, it is destined to go through wind and rain, so let him come quietly, go quietly, and enjoy the walk in this world.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in 589 AD. It is one of the landmark buildings in Chang'an. The eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty once translated scriptures here.

The square is located at the foot of the world-famous Buddhist holy land, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is the largest Tang-themed cultural square in Asia and has become a cultural and tourist attraction for people to enjoy, gather, sightsee and relax.

The Bell and Drum Tower Square is nearly an hour's drive away and is located in the City Wall Scenic Area in the center of the city. Therefore, in the afternoon, we first rushed to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square in the southern suburbs.

When we turned back to Bell and Drum Tower Square, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Finally, my feet stood on the bright city wall. In fact, the sky was getting dark.

The interest of the guests was still high, and the most profound thing about the tour was the large number of people. Moreover, under the crowds of people watching, not much of the real attractions could be seen, and there was no environment to appreciate it in detail.

The people who followed him all the way even followed him to the city wall. If he had not refused before, someone would have even bought the tickets for every place he went to.

What they mostly do is constantly take photos with people, especially the girls wearing Hanfu, who are surrounded by people almost wherever they go.

Liu Qingshan deliberately told the security personnel not to forcefully stop him, and he was not allowed to be surrounded by people holding hands.

He believes that every move of his people is in front of the public, and the best way to publicize it is to have the mood of an ordinary tourist and not break away from the masses.

Of course, his escort team will be scattered around the guests. It is enough to guard against bad intentions. There is no need to make the group's itinerary look like

It is a grassroots inspection by a big shot.

As the name suggests, the Ming City Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is actually a cleverly designed, fully functional, and magnificent military defense facility.

The city wall is 12 meters high, 18 meters wide at the bottom, and 15 meters wide at the top. It is a rectangle with a circumference of 12 kilometers, so walking on the city wall gives the impression that it is much wider than the four-lane road in the city.

There are four city gates, each of which is composed of an arrow tower and a city tower. The base of the city wall is wider than the height, so it is as stable as a mountain. The top of the wall can be used for sports cars and drills. It is the most complete ancient city wall in China.

Rows of city bricks are like long dragons, with no gaps between each brick. It is said that this was because bricks were made in the city at that time.

It is made by adding glutinous rice, kiwi fruit and dates into the embryo, stirring it and pounding it together. It is as hard as stone and very durable.

Many of the city bricks are engraved with the words "王屋***" and so on. It turns out that the city bricks at that time were made in a real-name system. After each city brick was fired, it would be inspected by the brickmaker and a swordsman.

If the city bricks can be shot into by the swordsman, the brick maker will die, which means that the city bricks are not strong; if the sword cannot be shot into the city bricks, it means that the sword hand Those who fail to meet the standards will also be put to death.

At that time, every city brick was built in such a cruel way. This solid city wall contains the blood and sweat of many working people!

The military equipment stored around the city walls each has a special name and has its own unique function.

The crenellations on the city wall are where soldiers can observe and shoot from the outside. The outer city wall and the inner city wall are also divided according to the crenellations. The ones with crenellations are the outer city walls, and the ones without crenellations are the inner city walls.

Standing on the city wall and looking around, a wide river surrounds the city wall. This is the moat. It is the first line of defense to prevent enemy attacks.

The tour guide also said this: To know how high the city wall is, you have to know how deep the city river is.

Legend has it that the soil used to make city bricks was dug out of the moat. The deeper the moat was dug, the higher the city wall was.

The drawbridge is the only passage on the moat. Once an enemy invades, the drawbridge is raised and the entire city becomes a closed battle fortress.

We all know the idiom "catching a turtle in an urn", right? Just put some food in an urn and lure the turtles over, and once you get in, they won't be able to get out.

In ancient times, the city gates were also opened, allowing thousands of enemy troops to enter the city, and then thousands of arrows were fired to destroy all the enemies. Its function was like "catching turtles in an urn."

The half-moon-shaped space between the gate tower and the arrow tower is called Wengcheng.

There is a lot of little knowledge hidden in every facility on the city wall. Why are every enemy tower on the city wall 120 meters apart?

There is a reason for this. This distance is related to weapons in the past. At that time, the effective range of bows, arrows, rolling logs and other weapons was 60 meters, and the shooting range from two directions was exactly 120 meters, which gave soldiers a wide field of vision and flexible tactics.

Do you think people in ancient times were really too smart?

Today's old city wall has an arrow tower standing upright and colorful flags fluttering; below the city there are green trees and clear river water.

In the early morning, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there are people doing morning exercises everywhere.

At night, the place is brightly lit, and the strings of red lanterns make the old city wall more beautiful and charming.

[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.

Answer, those with correct answers will be rewarded with small prizes.

And there is a large turntable erected on the ground. Those who answer three questions in a row can manually turn the turntable once. The pointer on it corresponds to dozens of grids, and the names of prizes with slightly higher value are written in the grids, or thank you. Space for patronage.

The highest-level prize is for Hanfu lovers to collectively dance a classical palace dance. There are several musical instruments placed behind the host against the city wall, which are obviously used for accompaniment.

As if accidentally seeing the mighty figure of Liu Qingshan and his group, a beautiful host loudly invited everyone to join.

Su Qiang also appeared at this time, walked up to Liu Qingshan and introduced himself. There was a camera behind him, and the microphone in his hand also had the logo of Shaanxi TV.

"I am Su Qiang, the general manager of our Chang'an Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd. Performing Arts Management Center. I heard that Mr. Liu's program team came to our hometown, but I didn't expect to meet him here!"

"Mr. Su, hello, hello, I don't know where this is..." There is still nothing to say about Liu Qingshan's acting skills.

"This year we will hold a Hanfu coming-of-age ceremony event across the city. In order to attract more people to actively participate, and also to popularize the traditional costumes and Chinese etiquette culture left by our ancestors, some interesting questions and answers will be held here in the near future. Activity."

"Oh? So we can participate too?"

"Everyone can participate for free. I wanted to invite you all. It seems that Mr. Liu is interested? I see that you are all wearing Hanfu and Tang suits. I didn't expect that we had the same idea!"

Seeing that his eyes were always looking behind him, Liu Qingshan quickly stepped away and introduced other guests to him.

While he was shouting, other girls in Hanfu also gathered around him.

According to the prior agreement, these people found by Su Qiang did not know the arrangements for tonight in advance. They were all ordinary people, and if they knew about it in advance, it would inevitably show up in their expressions.

Since Liu Qingshan's female guests had been notified in advance and knew that there would be such an "accidental encounter", they couldn't help but come over and have some active exchanges with the girls, of course, discussions around Hanfu.
