A trip to Shaoshan Xiaoxiang, the Holy Land

Shaoshan, Sheng Di. Xiaoxiang journey

? Shaoshan is a towering monument, and it is a sacred place that everyone in China wants to visit. 2065438+On August 9th, 2009, we got on a tourist bus in Changsha, and prepared to go to Shaoshan, the holy land of our dreams. The name Shaoshan has long been engraved in the bones of China people. I've heard of it since I was a child, and I've seen the film and television pictures, but when I really want to come to her side, I still can't help but be excited.

In midsummer, the sun in Sanxiang is like fire, the heat wave is rolling, and the earth is like fire. Sitting in an air-conditioned car, I looked at the scenery outside the window leisurely with greedy eyes. There are blue sky and clear water everywhere, green trees and green mountains everywhere, and cars are driving at high speed. Soon, I came to Tanzichong, huaminglou, Ningxiang, Hunan, and visited the former residence of Liu Shaoqi. Liu Shaoqi's former residence is located 50 kilometers east of Changsha, and Mao Zedong's former residence is 37 kilometers south of Shaoshan City. This is a village where Liu Shaoqi was born and spent his childhood and adolescence. There are bronze statue squares, memorial halls, etc. , large scale, reasonable layout, covering an area of nearly 800 square meters, more than 30 thatched houses. Liu Shaoqi's former residence is a four-in-one farmhouse with civil structure, with 2 1.5 rooms, including 16.5 rooms and 5 huts. A plaque inscribed by Comrade Deng Xiaoping 1980 "Former Residence of Comrade Liu Shaoqi" hangs in the front door of the former residence. The ten-year almanac of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty and the photo taken with Wang Yu 196 1 May are displayed in the hall. Out of this bedroom, you can go to the wine room, where the Liu family used to store and sell wine. From the wine room to the east is Liu Shaoqi's parents' bedroom, with a bed, bedside table, desk, cupboard and dresser. The living room is a recumbent room with a candle cabinet, a square table, a bench and so on. After a hasty visit to the Liu Shaoqi Memorial Hall, everyone can't wait to get on the bus and set off for Shaoshan, which has been longing for a long time.

? The car left Xiangning and headed south for Shaoshan, the hometown of Comrade Mao Zedong, the great leader of China people. Soon after driving, we arrived at Shaoshan's global tourism distribution center. At that time, the small mountain village has developed into a tourist city. There are cultural landscapes such as Mao Zedong's former residence, bronze statues, squares, memorial halls, relics halls, poetry forests, memorial gardens, and mysterious natural landscapes such as the "West Cave" Dishui Cave and Heishizhai, all of which are revolutionary memorial sites.

? Shaoshan peaks stand around the mountain, and the main peak is Shao Feng, also known as Fairy Peak, which is one of the 77 peaks in Nanyue. Located in the south of Shaoshan tourist area, with an altitude of 5 19 meters, it is the first peak in the scenic spot. "Green Shao Feng" is one of the eight scenic spots in Shaoshan. We walked slowly along the winding mountain road, followed by a flood of people waiting in line to see Mao Zedong's former residence. After waiting in line for about an hour, we finally arrived at the home of the great leader Chairman Mao. The house is made of mud bricks and blue tiles, with civil structure, facing south, and built on the mountain. It is concave, full of earthy fragrance and original flavor, covering an area of 566.39 square meters, with a construction area of 472. There is a small flat in front of the roof farm, and there are two parallel ponds in front of the flat. The small pond is covered with lotus roots, and the big pond has a wide water surface. Lotus is particularly delicate against the green lotus leaf, which is really a bit charming. The back of the chairman's house is backed by green hills, and pine and bamboo are flourishing. Looking around, it is "the advantage of Shaoshan, the color of the smoke cage is light", which is also "purple gas". At noon, in front of the bronze statue of Chairman Mao in the square, a dozen of us, under the scorching sun, carried flower baskets and respectfully placed them at the foot of the bronze statue of Chairman Mao, and bowed three times with everyone to express our high respect for his old man's house.

? 1893 On February 26th, Mao Zedong was born here and spent his childhood and adolescence. He began to study in private schools at the age of 8, dropped out of school at the age of 14, and participated in agricultural production at home for two years. 16 years old, and studied in a private school for 1 year. 19 10 autumn, Mao Zedong left Shaoshan and went to study in Dongshan High School in Xiangxiang County. Before he left, he wrote a poem for his father at home, Poem of Four Unique Fathers:

"Children are determined to go to the countryside, and they won't come back until they become famous. The bones don't need to be buried, and they are endless. " In the same year, he wrote "Seven Ancient Frogs": "Sitting alone in the pond like a tiger house, enjoying the wake under the cool tree. If I don't speak first in spring, which bug dares to keep silent? "

? At that time, 17-year-old Mao Zedong took an exam in the entrance examination of Dongshan Higher Education College in Xiangxiang, and the exam question was "Express Your Will". Through the description of the frog's environment, image and mentality, Mao Zedong's lofty aspirations and broad mind in his youth are profoundly displayed, and the author's fighting spirit of striving for progress and caring for the country's destiny is shown. As can be seen from this poem, Mao Zedong named himself Ziren with the motto of "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", which means that he is determined to save the country and the people as a lofty responsibility. This ideal shows his lofty ideals when he was young. It not only mocked and despised those rich children, but also expressed the heroic consciousness of young Mao Zedong who dared to be the first in the world and led the group in the hazy period. Tan Yongchun, a Chinese teacher, approved after reading it: "It seems that you have immortal bones, and you are like the water of the Yellow River, flowing a thousand miles!" .

? 19 1 1 went to Changsha to study in Xiangxiang middle school in the province, then went to the first normal school in the province, and occasionally went home in winter and summer vacations. 19 19 10, Mao Zedong's mother died of illness, and Mao Zedong went home to attend the funeral, tearfully writing elegiac couplet and "A Tribute to Mother".

1925 In February, Mao Zedong and his wife Yang Kaihui returned to Shaoshan with their children An Ying and Anqing, and lived in the building for half a year. I often talk with villagers here, hold various small meetings, understand the political and economic situation in rural areas, publicize the revolutionary truth to farmers, and secretly establish farmers' associations and set up anti-imperialist patriotic organizations-revenge clubs. This year, in Changsha, he wrote the magnificent "Qinyuanchun Changsha". 1927, Mao Zedong returned to Shaoshan to inspect the peasant movement, called the cadres and activists of the peasant movement to hold an investigation meeting to understand the situation of the peasant movement in Shaoshan, and put forward that the peasants should build their own armed forces and run the peasant association better. This year, he left Shaoshan for 32 years. 1August 949, Shaoshan was liberated. 195 1 February, the former residence was officially opened to the public, and the plaque of "Former Residence of Chairman Mao, the great leader of China people" was hung above the main entrance of the hall, which was later renamed as "Former Residence of Comrade Mao Zedong". On June 25th, 1959, Mao Zedong returned to Shaoshan, his hometown after 32 years' absence. On 26th, accompanied by Luo Ruiqing and others, he visited his former residence, took a group photo with the welcoming people in Qianping as a souvenir, and wrote "Seven Laws Returning to Shaoshan".

Don't dream of vaguely cursing the passing of Sichuan.

My hometown 32 years ago.

The red flag rolled up the serf halberd,

Black hands hang the whip of the overlord.

For sacrifice and ambition,

Dare to call the sun and the moon for a new day.

I like watching thousands of rice waves,

Heroes everywhere are dying.

1The former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong inscribed by Guo Moruo was changed on September 28th, 965, and it was changed to the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong inscribed by Deng Xiaoping on June 27th, 983.

? The drip cave, 3 kilometers away from the former residence of the chairman, is the villa of the chairman. It is located in a narrow valley west of Shaoshanchong. The cave is elegant and peerless, with green hills and bamboos, wild flowers and weeds, and butterfly songbirds. "Shi Mao Genealogy" praised: "One hook has running water, one punch has mountains, and the tiger is here; Lingxiu Juling people don't know, the stone bridge is locked. " On 1959, Mao Zedong also went swimming in Shaoshan Reservoir in Dishuizui. As a result, he casually said to Zhou, secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, "Boat, build some thatched houses in this ravine, and I will come to live when I am old." So there was the construction of Dishuidong Villa. The villa was built in 1960, and its architectural form is similar to Zhongnanhai, Beijing. 1 In June, 1966, Mao Zedong visited Shaoshan in the south and stayed in Building 1 1 day. 1970, a bomb shelter with a length of 100 meters was built behind the villa. There are military facilities such as earthquake-proof room and command room on one side of the cave. At both ends of the cave, there are automatic control heavy iron gates, which are nearly a foot thick and weigh several tons. Even if an atomic bomb is dropped outside the cave, it will not harm the safety of the command system and the people in the cave. Dishuidong is famous at home and abroad for its beautiful scenery and human events. Tourists are like weaving. This "West Cave", which is known as the "Pearl of Mountains and Waters" in Hunan, is really "a must in three Hunan, and there is a different kind of sky in the cave."

? Ten miles and eight townships around the former residence of the Chairman are tourist areas, and the whole Dashaoshan area is enjoying the gospel brought by the Chairman. Even though the old man has been away from us for more than 40 years, he is still a "descendant of happiness and grace". In the evening, we bid farewell to Shaoshan. Three years later, she still bothers me. ...
