Demystify red Zhengzhou
A hundred years of wind and rain, red flame passed down. From the budding of Marxism in Zhengzhou to the burning flames of the Anti-Japanese War; from the darkness before dawn to the dawn of the dawn; from the heroic city that gave birth to the "Erqi Spirit" to the metropolis on the banks of the Yellow River... The red gene is the deepest and most distinctive mark for the ancient capital of Zhengzhou. In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Zhengzhou Radio and Television Station, together with the Party History Research Office of the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Zhengzhou Municipal Archives, and the Zhengzhou Municipal Local History Office, launched a large-scale media series "Unveiling red Zhengzhou" to uncover the dusty memories and tell you the story of red Zhengzhou.
The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, and the Yellow River Basin is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization. For thousands of years, the rushing Water of the Yellow River has not only bred Chinese civilization, but also formed a unique Yellow River culture. With the weaving of a new blueprint for ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the promotion of the protection and inheritance of the Yellow River culture has opened a new chapter, and Henan has also strides into the "Yellow River Era" of high-quality development.
"An egg with two ends of light, yo yo." Whenever he finished the farm work in the field, the 82-year-old Yan Xilu would always sit in the shade of the courtyard and shout a few words of trumpet, while touching the stone pillar handed down by his grandfather, while recalling the scene of reinforcing the embankment on the side of the Yellow River beach. My grandfather and my father, both of whom were born in the door, were passed down from generation to generation. ”
The Yellow River trumpet is a kind of Han folk song with strong rhythm in the process of playing the yellow river, the melody is simple, the rhythm is bright, the majestic and powerful, is the Yellow River culture that the Yellow River workers have used sweat to feed in the practice of controlling the Yellow River. The rise of the Pawn in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, mainly used for the reinforcement of the Yellow River levee, in order to unify the force, unified rhythm, the Beaters created the Beater Trumpet, and gradually formed more than a dozen trumpets and passed them down.
With the rise and fall of the stone pillars, the soft land along the Yellow River was smashed out one by one, and the sound of the trumpets shone with the perseverance and rough character of the sons and daughters of the Yellow River and the spirit of the hard-working and optimistic laborers, witnessing the wisdom of the people along the Yellow River for hundreds of years. This "Battle Song of Yellow War", which has reverberated for a hundred years, was also included in the list of representative projects of provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2009, giving it a new glow.
If the trumpet bears witness to the process of the sons and daughters of the Central Plains governing the Yellow River, then the statue of the Second Emperor of Yanhuang in the Yellow River Cultural Park in Zhengzhou witnesses the process of the people of the Central Plains governing the Yellow River, transforming the Yellow River, and building a happy river in the new era.
For thousands of years, the water of the Haohao Yellow River has nourished the fertile plains, nurtured the descendants of Yanhuang, and bred Chinese civilization. For the Chinese nation, it is not only a river of nature, but also a river of culture, a river of the soul and a river of the spirit.
On September 17, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Linhe Square of the Yellow River National Geopark, looking at the Yellow River rolling east, thinking about a thousand years. At the symposium the next day, his demand for inheriting and promoting the Yellow River culture stirred up the vast land: the Yellow River culture is an important part of Chinese civilization and the root and soul of the Chinese nation. It is necessary to deeply excavate the value of the times contained in the Yellow River culture, tell the "Yellow River Story", continue the historical context, strengthen cultural self-confidence, and gather spiritual strength for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
An ancient river blooms brilliantly in the new era.
After more than two years of governance and transformation, the Zhengzhou section of the Yellow River now has a good place for the masses to relax and play and feel the yellow river culture.
"You see the green and lush repairs now, the supporting facilities are particularly good, now it is the predecessors who planted trees, the posterity is cool, the merit is in the contemporary era, and the benefits are in the thousands of autumns."
"I think it's very good, I like to take my family to play around the Mother River on weekends, and now the Yellow River is even more beautiful."
The Yellow River is not only a natural river with rushing waves, but also a cultural river that precipitates national memory and national spirit. The closer you are to the Yellow River, the more you will have your original feelings and identification with the Chinese nation and the Yellow River culture. Nowadays, The "Three Cities, Three Hundred Miles, Three Thousand Years" cultural tourism belt of Zheng Biluo is being built into a new IP of Central Plains Cultural Tourism.
Li Yanyan, the inheritor of Zhengzhou's intangible cultural heritage and a scholar of incense culture, also specially created a unique incense for the three cities, using the water of the Yellow River and mixing various spices in the Yellow River Basin to produce the unique "fragrance" of the Yellow River culture. "Zhengzhou Yanhuang Second Emperor, that is the ancestor of our Chinese sons and daughters, its fragrance should be very thick, and at the same time very explosive." Luoyang is gorgeous and open, this incense smells more layered, the fragrance is more full. The Song represented by Kaifeng is relatively elegant and very durable. ”
Digging, sieving, waking, falling, kneading, pinching, carving, a handful of Yellow River mud, under the skillful hands of Xu Zhihong, the non-hereditary heir of the clay sculpture in Zhongmu County, transformed into different forms and emitted a vivid charm.
Yellow River mud has such a characteristic: the more kneaded the viscosity and toughness, the stronger. Xu Zhihong feels that in this loess, there is Chinese character - rough and delicate, soft and tough, just like the protagonists of her works: medical workers who swim against the current, children and soldiers who move forward in the wind and rain, volunteers who are fighting in the front line, individual characters, and stories, which are shaped and solidified by her with the yellow river mud.
On July 20, an unprecedented heavy rainfall struck the Central Plains, turning haohaoping into a vast ocean. In the wind and rain, the righteous deeds of strangers watching out for each other are staged in every street, and the courage of ordinary people to rescue themselves blooms in every corner.
In this land that has been looted by torrential rains, there is always a force that makes us cry, and there is always a force that makes us shake our spirits. This power comes from everyone in this land. They are kind, upright, tenacious and brave, and they are in the same boat and solidarity, so that people can see the best appearance of Henan people.
Those people, those things, those immortal memories, those touching spiritual lights, if we put these together, we can get a three-dimensional "7.20", read the spiritual core of the Yellow River culture, and remember the stubbornness and glory of the Central Plains.
"A history of Henan, half of China". Carrying countless glorious fertile lands of the Central Plains, the rich cultural advantages of the Yellow River are being brought into full play, and the Yellow River culture is being passed on from generation to generation. In the ancient land through which the Yellow River flows, there will be more Yellow River stories spread in the future, attracting more people to know the Yellow River culture and love the Yellow River culture. Li Guiling, director of the Zhengzhou Cultural Center, said: "Intangible cultural heritage is a very important carrier of the Yellow River culture. Our next step is to build a 40,000-square-meter Zhengzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall, and at the same time invite non-genetic inheritors to enter the campus, into the enterprise, into the community, so that more people can understand the intangible cultural heritage, understand the Yellow River culture of the past thousand years, and inherit the intangible cultural heritage. ”
