Chapter 152 Cultural Differences in China’s Magical World

"Are they all wizards?" Andy asked curiously.

Zhang Qiu shook his head, "No, they are all ordinary people."

"Then have you found the magic world in China?" Andy asked with some expectation.

Compared with other things, the magical world of China is what Andy cares about most. The magic there...or is it Taoism? Will it be different from that in the West?

"Of course!"

Zhang Qiu said with a proud face: "I am a witch. When I traveled to China, I had to go to the Ministry of Magic to complete the procedures. As soon as I got off the plane in China, the staff of the Ministry of Magic found me."

"But it doesn't seem to be called the Ministry of Magic over there. Uh... I don't know how to translate it."

Andy quickly asked: "What's the situation in the magic world over there? Is it the same as ours?"

Zhang Qiu explained: "The magic world in China is very different from ours. They also have magic schools, but they were only established in the past few decades."

"In ancient times, the Chinese magic world was passed down in the form of sects, and they did not recruit students from the Muggle world."

Andy nodded, this was pretty much what Andy had thought before.

There are great cultural differences between the East and the West.

And according to the information Andy has, the magic world in China was hidden thousands of years ago. There was no such thing as a 'school' at that time.

"Qiu, have you ever seen them perform magic?" Andy asked curiously.

"Yeah! I met him once."

Zhang Qiu said: "But they don't use magic wands to cast spells, but use a wooden sword. Although the shape is slightly different, I think it should be no different from a magic wand."

Peach wood sword?

Maybe the peach wood sword is just one of them, after all, it's just a Muggle term.

Later, Zhang Qiu talked about her various experiences in the Chinese magic world. Andy thought it would be great if made into a movie.

In ancient times, the Chinese magic world has been passed down in the form of sects. After integrating with international standards, China's magic world also made many reforms, established several magic schools, and began to recruit students from the Muggle world.

Unlike the British magical world where there are only two shopping streets, Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, there are many wizards in China, so many big cities in China have gathering places for wizards.

"The Chinese country attaches great importance to the inheritance of magic knowledge. I can only buy the most basic magic books in the bookstore." Speaking of this, Zhang Qiu still felt a little regretful.

"correct!"

Zhang Qiu suddenly asked: "The books I bought this time are all in Chinese. How is your Chinese learning going?"

Is this still worth learning?

Do you know your mother tongue?

"You learned pretty well." Andy smiled.

Zhang Qiu looked unbelieving, "Chinese is very difficult, especially these magic books. Even my parents can't understand what's written in them."

Andy raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Could it be...it was written in classical Chinese?

Andy thought of several Taoist scriptures that he had read online in his previous life. He knew every word, but he had no idea what they meant when they were put together.

Wow——

The carriage door was opened.

"Hi! Andy, Qiu, hello you guys."

Hermione walked into the carriage, "You guys are here so early!"

As she spoke, Hermione pulled out her wand.

"Wingardim, Leviosa!"

After putting the suitcase away, Hermione looked around, and then she sat down next to Andy with no expression on her face, as if very naturally.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiu couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

But she soon stopped laughing.

"Qiu, have you found the magic world in China? How is it there? Is it much different from ours?"

Hermione was like a machine gun, asking several questions in succession, "Have you ever seen magic in China? I even checked it during the vacation. The culture in China is very different from ours..."

Zhang Qiu was confused by the questioning.

She was about to answer when she suddenly thought of Cedric.

Will he ask her again after Cedric comes over?

"Let's wait until Cedric comes over and talk about it together." Zhang Qiu said with a headache.

"I'll tell you!"

Andy happily took over this task, "The Chinese side is different from ours. They are based on sects..."

As the topic opened up, Zhang Qiu also added a few words from time to time.

Generally speaking, the situation in the Chinese magic world is similar to what Andy thought. As it has integrated with international standards, many reform measures have been made there.

"Andy, tell me, after we graduate, how about traveling to China?"

Hermione said with some expectation: "That is an ancient country, it should hide a lot of secrets, right?"

"Okay!" To be honest, Andy really wanted to go back and have a look, but that would have to wait until after graduation.

"correct!"

Zhang Qiu suddenly said: "The books I bought for you are put in the suitcase. I will give them to you when we get to Hogwarts!"

"Thank you!" Andy said gratefully.

Wow——

Just as he was talking, Cedric suddenly opened the door of the carriage.

Glancing at the seats in the carriage, Cedric gave Andy a 'good job' look.

Andy sat with Hermione, so couldn't he sit with Zhang Qiu?

Then……

"Qiu, have you found the magic world in China?" Cedric asked enthusiastically.

This summer vacation, he did a lot of homework.

Zhang Qiu: "..."

There was no other way, Zhang Qiu could only tell it again. But what she knew was only a rough outline of the situation, and that was all.

"Qiu, have you visited the sects in China?"

Hermione said curiously: "It's really unimaginable that after joining the sect, you will have to serve the sect for the rest of your life."

Cedric guessed: "A sect is similar to a school, right? Maybe schools in China have their own business."

"Just like our dean, Professor Sprout is in charge of the herb growing room in Hogwarts. If the scale is expanded, it can also bring benefits to the school."

Hermione nodded, "If you say so, Professor Snape can also bring a lot of benefits to the school."

Cedric said: "If students from the Huaguo sect can take charge of the sect's business after graduation, it seems not bad if you think about it carefully."

Hermione thought about the pattern carefully, then nodded in agreement.

Wuwuwu——

The train is starting to move.

Andy leaned back on the chair, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, while chatting with Hermione and the other three from time to time.

Everyone is very interested in the magical world of China.

It's a pity that Zhang Qiu doesn't know much information.

After all, she is only a thirteen-year-old girl, and her family cannot trust her to go out alone. Unless his parents have time, it would be difficult for Zhang Qiu to come into contact with the magical world of China.

"What is that?" Andy suddenly exclaimed.

Hermione, Zhang Qiu, and Cedric looked over at the same time.

Outside the car window, a green car was flying in the sky, and a few excited shouts could be heard faintly in the car.
