Day SixToday is the first lesson of IS teaching us about the history, culture, weather, food and tourism of Sichuan. As for the tourism, people describe Sichuan as abundant and diverse because of Du Jiang Yan. It was a project done by the Shi State’s emperor, Li Bing, and his son to minimize the risk of floods and draught during 256BC. This project is so successful that there is no serious draughts and floods since the Han dynasty. It makes Sichuan one of the most productive agriculture places. In order to remember Li Bing and his son, people built a temple name Er Wang Miao. Today, it becomes a major tourist attraction. Besides that, Sichuan is divided into 4 prefectures consisting of Yizhou, Jizhou, Kuizhou and Zizhou. Sichuan is called the Land of abundance (Tian Fu Zhi Yuan) due to land fertile, climate temperature, rainfall sufficient, rich agriculture and etc. It also means to allow the citizens to stay comfortably (Shu fu). The weather of Sichuan is rather humid, mild and subtropical. When it comes to dinner time, we always ask the China students to join us along so as to recommend some delicious food beside the school. It is like a mini gathering. We had “gan guo” which is similar to steamboat but this is dry. Their foods are not only hot and spicy but also numb your lips, and tongue and mouth. This is what so special about Sichuan’s spices. I don’t really eat spicy food but I enjoy it until I can’t stop eating. Maybe I should but some Sichuan spices back to Singapore for my family and relatives to try.
