"Yongzhou's wild snake", this is the biggest impression of many people on Yongzhou. But in fact, the wilderness of Yongzhou has history, civilization, and cliffs, and the wilderness of Yongzhou is Xiaoxiang and very beautiful. Starting from Emperor Shun's southern tour, Sima Qian, Li Bai, Yuan Jie, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Zongyuan, Lu You, Su Dongpo, Xu Xiake and other literati of all generations have come to Yongzhou to punch in, which can be called "a thousand-year punch card resort" and "YYDS in the cultural and tourism industry". Then, many friends will ask: Why did the literati and sages of all generations yearn for Yongzhou and punch Yongzhou?
Because, here is Xiaoxiang!
Hunan's cultural tourism brand is called "Splendid Xiaoxiang". Where is the source of "Xiaoxiang"? It's in Yongzhou. Xiao and Xiang'er waters flow in Yongzhou Apple Island, so Yongzhou has been called "Xiaoxiang" since ancient times. So what's so great about "Xiaoxiang"? After thousands of years of precipitation, the word "Xiaoxiang" is no longer just a geographical concept in the traditional sense, but more importantly, it represents the commanding height of traditional Chinese aesthetics, the standard of oriental aesthetics, and is still the national aesthetic system of Japan and other countries. How high? To take a popular example, Cao Xueqin in "Dream of the Red Chamber", why did She let Lin Daiyu live in the "Xiaoxiang Pavilion"? Because in ancient times, "Xiaoxiang" was synonymous with beauty.
Xiao Xiang, beauty is in the depths of dustless. Li Daoyuan explained it in the "Notes on the Water Classic": "Xiao Ren, the water is clear and deep." Xiao Shui flows down from the "Three Points Stone Spring" of Jiuling Mountain, all stone bottom, without a little soil, so it is pure, dust-free, very clean, very clear, not mixed with a trace of dust and impurities. Clean is beautiful. Xiao Xiang is dust-free! Xiaoxiang is the kind of beauty of no dust in the mountains, no dust in the water, no dust in the heart, no dust in the mind, and no dust in love!
Xiao Xiang, beauty in the Zen machine infinite. "Eight Scenic Views of Xiaoxiang" is well-known at home and abroad, and its influence is widespread, and now the eight, ten, sixteen views and so on in many places are derived from this. The first scene of the "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang" is on Yongzhou Apple Island where the two waters of Xiaoxiang meet, called "Xiaoxiang Night Rain". Why are the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang so beautiful? This kind of beautiful painting style is simple, out of the plain, into the light, ethereal Yuxiu, not to meet the gorgeous beauty of the retina, but the "great beauty does not carve" of the simple beauty and the beauty of the image, not the craft but the art, with unlimited Zen machine. For example, the fisherman father is a frequent image in Xiaoxiang culture, Qu Yuan wrote "Chu Ci Fisher Father", And Liu Zongyuan wrote "Fisherman" and "Jiang Xue". There is also a stone stele on the edge of the Xiang River in Yongzhou called "Tang Sou Fishing Rock", which means that a fisherman surnamed Tang lived in seclusion to fish. In ancient China, people who farmed the land were pragmatic, and people who fished understood philosophy. The Fisherman is a symbol of wisdom. It can be said that the beauty of Xiaoxiang is actually a kind of wisdom beauty and philosophical beauty.
Xiao Xiang, the beauty is poignant in the high ancient. The "Yong" character in Yongzhou is one mountain plus two waters, one mountain is the Nine Ridges Mountain, the man behind the mountain is Emperor Shun, the second water is Xiaoshui and Xiangshui, and the women behind the second water are Emperor E and Female Ying. Sima Qian's "Records of History" records: "Emperor Shun toured the south, collapsed in the wilderness of Cangwu, and was buried in the Nine Ridges of Jiangnan. "Emperor E and Lady Ying are looking for a husband and have come to Apple Island. Qu Yuan said in the Chu Ci that Lady Xiang "ascended to the white apple and looked forward to it." Who do you want? Hope Emperor Shun! Where is Emperor Shun? It's right on Mount Nine Ridges. The second concubine's tears spilled into a river, turning into Xiao and Xiang Ershui. Chairman Mao has a saying that "a branch of bamboo is a thousand tears, and a hundred flowers and a hundred heavy clothes in the red xia", which means that the tears of xiaoxiang second concubines dye green bamboo into spotted bamboo. The "Xiaoxiang Night Rain" at the beginning of the "Eight Views of Xiaoxiang" is actually the tears of Xiaoxiang's second concubine. The first time Liu Xiang wrote about the poignant story of Xiangfei and Yu Shun, which is also the earliest love story in China. In the Ming Dynasty, a painter named Wen Zhengming painted a "Picture of Lady Xiangjun Xiang", which depicted two women who were very elegant, cold and ancient, that is, Xiao Xiang's second concubine. Therefore, there is a very poignant love story in it, and this beauty is also a kind of ancient and poignant beauty.
Some say these may just be legends. We can look at a map, which is a satellite map of the island. You can see that the island in the middle is like an old man wearing a long coat, and this old man is very similar to Emperor Shun. On the left side of the island is Xiangshui and on the right is Xiaoshui, which is the incarnation of Emperor E and Lady Ying. Xu Xiake called the island "Longkou Hanzhu". Let's talk about whether it's a legend or if there are so many stories. Even according to legend, she has transformed into such a magical land! What is even more fortunate is that the 10,000 acres of land around this land are all undeveloped "virgin land". In order to better protect and develop, we plan to build a Xiaoxiang cultural tourism resort here, welcome to invest in construction.
Of course, in addition to the beautiful artistic conception of "Xiaoxiang", she also carries the excellent traditional Chinese culture such as Liuzi literature and Zhouzi Science, and is a landmark of Huxiang culture and even Chinese culture. As a national historical and cultural city with a history of more than 2,400 years, Yongzhou has a decisive influence and status as the "Xiaoxiang culture" it has bred. Combing through, the charm of Yongzhou Cultural Tourism mainly includes:
This is the "Holy Land of China". General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that China has a one-million-year history of human beings, a ten-thousand-year cultural history, and a five-thousand-year history of civilization that has developed independently. The signs of these three milestones can be found in Yongzhou. There is a long history of humanity here. Archaeologists have found 47 fossils of human teeth dating from 80,000 to 120,000 years old in Yongzhou Fu Cave. This is the earliest human fossil so far, and it is also the oldest modern human fossil in East Asia and even in the world, breaking the long-standing "African origin theory" in one fell swoop. That is, Chinese originated in China, not migrated from Africa. In the jade toad rock, 9 artificially cultivated rice specimens dating from 12,000 to 14,000 years ago were found, which shows that in ancient times, human domesticated rice had appeared in Yongzhou, refreshing the historical record of the earliest human cultivation of rice. It was also in this cave that a kettle-shaped primitive pottery piece that could be spun together was also found, one of the earliest known pottery products in China. Yongzhou is therefore also known as "the source of the valley under the world, the pottery of the world". There is a glorious history of civilization here. Sima Qian came to Yongzhou twice, and the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" in the "Records of History" was the most recorded and highly evaluated Emperor Shun. "The mingde of the world began with Emperor Yu." In that year, Emperor Shun's southern tour came to the barbarian land in the south, spreading moral concepts such as "sincerity", "filial piety" and "benevolence" all the way, like a brilliant pearl, embedded in the land of Yongzhou forever shining. Yongzhou also has the reputation of "the birthplace of Chinese filial piety culture" and "the hometown of morality". There is a glorious literary history here. Liu Zongyuan, the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", sent affection to the landscape of Yongzhou and wrote 334 literary works such as poetry, riots, sayings, and travelogues, leaving behind many immortal chapters such as "Jiang Xue" and "Eight Records of Yongzhou", creating a peak of Chinese literature. There is a deep history of Chinese philosophy here. Zhou Dunyi, the originator of science, was born in Yongzhou and grew up in Yongzhou, founded the Song Ming Theory, opened the Huxiang School, and became a "ceiling" of traditional Chinese philosophy, which had a profound impact on the development of Chinese philosophy. Yuelu Academy has a couplet: "The south of my road was originally a vein of Lianxi, and the east of the great river is nothing more than the aftermath of Xiangshui", which refers to the Huxiang culture created by Zhou Dunyi. There is a glorious history of revolution here. At the time of the founding of the Communist Party of China, there were only more than 50 party members in the country, including 3 in Yongzhou, which gave birth to a number of proletarian revolutionaries such as Li Da, Tao Zhu, and He Baozhen. General Secretary Xi Jinping told the story of Chen Shuxiang's "broken intestines And Mingzhi" 5 times also occurred in Yongzhou. Therefore, Yongzhou's historical relics and historical heritage are very rich, and there are 34 national cultural relics protection units and 79 provincial cultural relics protection units in the city, ranking among the best in Hunan Province.
This is the "Cultural Highland". Tourism is the carrier, culture is the soul. True culture is striking and enlightening. Here is the inspirational story of "Han Liu's Article Li Dushi". A generation of literary heroes Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, but he always worried about the country and the people, self-improvement, and opened the peak of his own life at the peak of Chinese literature. The ten years of who lived in Yongzhou were the decade of his political downfall, but it was the decade that he was remembered by the world, full of positive and enterprising inspiration. There is a sage style of "coming out of the mud and not staining". Zhou Dunyiyue, the originator of science, wrote the famous passage "Love Lotus Saying" for thousands of years, using "lotus" as a metaphor for "honesty", and taking it as the pursuit of honesty as an official, so that the culture of honesty began to be known to everyone in an independent cultural form, becoming the founder of ancient Chinese culture of honesty. Here are the examples of the idea that "faith is rock solid". Li Da, a native of Yongzhou, is one of the 13 deputies of the CPC and the first person to sinicize Marxism; he has adhered to marxist beliefs all his life, and even though he quit the party halfway due to different opinions, he still unswervingly studied and disseminated Marxism. Here is the frank mind of "selflessness in the heart and the breadth of heaven and earth". "Like smoke, the past is forgotten, and the heart is selfless and wide", this is a poem written by Tao Zhu, a proletarian revolutionary and an outstanding leader of the party and the state, to his wife Zeng Zhi. He said this, and even more so, just like the style of a pine tree, a lifetime of selflessness and fearlessness, and open-mindedness. There is absolute loyalty to "shed the last drop of blood". During the Long March, Chen Shuxiang, commander of the 34th Division of the Red Army, in order to cover the main force of the Central Red Army to cross the Xiang River, took the initiative to undertake the task of breaking the rear, fought to the last person, and after being wounded and captured, he resolutely broke his intestines and swore to shed the last drop of blood, known as the "Commander of the Desperate Division", how touching and touching!
Therefore, the cultural heritage of Yongzhou is also quite rich. In particular, I want to share with you the Rock Carvings of Yongzhou. Not long ago, we held an exhibition of rock carvings at the National Museum of China, which attracted great attention and strong repercussions online and offline. People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV and other hundreds of mainstream media across the country have reported that Tencent, Weibo, Douyin and other readers exceeded 250 million people. Originally, it was exhibited for one month, but it is still being postponed. Why do so many people pay attention? Because those are precious and valuable cultural treasures! There are more than 2,200 stone carvings in Yongzhou, concentrated in 7 rock carvings, all of which are national security units. In particular, it needs to be emphasized that it is different from the northern stele forest buried underground, most of which is on both sides of the Xiao and Xiangershui rivers, bathed in the sun, moon and sky light, and is a landscape painting that shines between the sunlight and the water waves. Yongzhou Moya stone carvings are not only numerous and of high quality, but also have distinct themes, famous artists and both calligraphy styles, which can be called "calligraphy museum on stone", "literary history on stone", "history of political rise and fall on stone" and "BBS on stone". Among them, there are many inscriptions behind the meaning that are directly striking people's hearts and making people suddenly enlightened. For example, there is a list book in Humble Rock called "Forgetting the Machine", which quotes Wen Feiqing's poem "Lizhou Nandu" "Five Lakes Smoke and Water Alone Forget the Machine", which means that when you come here and look at the beautiful scenery of Xiaoxiang, you can forget the heart, forget the sorrow, and forget the troubles. In the Forest of Steles in Huanxi, there is a "Orderly Monument to The Monument", which is engraved with the sentence "The beauty of the garden, the wealth is private." The victory of the mountains and rivers is the public of the world. The public has been through the ages, and the private is a moment", which embodies a noble spirit of selflessness and public before private, which gives people a very big touch. "The public has been in the past, and the private is for a while" was also a phrase quoted by Lei Jieqiong, then vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, when evaluating Chairman Mao. The core of tourism is culture, and the essence of culture is the experience of the soul and the experience of the spirit. This is also the unique advantage of Yongzhou Cultural Tourism. In the next step, we will soon start the yongzhou stone carvings to declare the World Heritage work. This is a historic opportunity to promote the high-quality development of Yongzhou Cultural Tourism. Welcome entrepreneurs and friends in the Greater Bay Area to participate in cooperation and development for win-win results!
It is an "ecological beauty". Located at the source of the Xiang River, the mountains are good, the water is sweet and the scenery is beautiful. The city has 10 national forest parks, 4 national nature reserves and 8 national wetland parks, with a forest coverage rate of 65.3% and an excellent air quality rate of 100% perennial. Here, you can breathe in the negative oxygen ions of the "burst table", you can listen to the ecological beauty of "rain hitting plantains" and "long streams of streams", you can appreciate the natural beauty of the white clouds and red xia of Jiuling Mountain, the deep scenery of Shunhuang Mountain Forest, the wild and interesting, the Yangming Mountain, the thousands of acres of rhododendrons, the cloud iceberg alpine moss, the cloud sea rime. In particular, YunBingshan is known as the "Snow Town of the Southern Country", very close to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, every winter, many families flock there to live for a few nights, watching the sea of clouds, watching the rime, and experiencing the winter with snow.
This is the "Secret Wonderland". Yongzhou is home to more than 80% of Hunan's Yao population. Jianghua is the largest Yao autonomous county in the country and has the title of "Yaodu of Shenzhou". Qianjia pass is the spiritual homeland that Yao compatriots yearn for. Yao festivals such as "Panwang Festival", "Mud Washing Festival" and "Bird Catching Festival" are simple and grand, and Yao villages such as Goulan Yao Village and Shuikou Town are full of romantic and flowing style. Walking in the ancient village of Yongzhou, you can see small arch bridges, bluestone roads, horse head walls everywhere, a thousand years at a glance, like a paradise. In the area of Jiangyong shangjiangwei, there is the only female script in the world so far - "Nüshu", which can be called a literary wonder. Attracted by the mysterious atmosphere of Yongzhou, Mr. Tan Dun created the large-scale symphonic musical epic "Nüshu", which has now toured more than 100 times around the world. On November 27th this year, Mr. Tan Dun will hold a large-scale live-action symphony concert of "Women's Book Home, Dream Goulan" in Goulanyao, and sincerely invites everyone to come and watch. In the xianglinpu area of Daoxian County, there is an ancient sacrifice site - "Ghost Cub Ridge", thousands of stone statues gathered in one place, very mysterious, everyone says "there are terracotta warriors in the north, there is ghost cub ridge in the south".
This is the "blessed land of life". To Yongzhou punch card travel, first of all, can meet your mouth blessings. When you come to Yongzhou, you can taste the spicy and fragrant Dong'an chicken, the smooth and tender Yongzhou blood duck, the refreshing and tender Yaojia Eighteen Brew, the delicious Soup Yongzhou Drinking Snail... In particular, Dong'an chicken is the first of the eight Major Hunan dishes, and it is also the state banquet dish used by Chairman Mao to entertain US President Nixon. When you come to Yongzhou, you can also eat the "Hermes" in the grapefruit - JiangYong fragrant grapefruit, the "white sweet" in the pear - Yaoshan Sydney pear, and the "sweet and rich handsome" in the orange - Huifeng honey orange.
This is the "new place for entrepreneurship". Yongzhou is adjacent to the Greater Bay Area and connected to greater ASEAN, and its location advantage is obvious. In recent years, we have seized the opportunity, increased opening up, developed rapidly, ranked first in similar cities and prefectures in Hunan Province for many consecutive years, and were selected into the list of regions in Hunan Province that have really done solid work and achieved obvious results. At present, we are moving towards the goal of implementing the "three highs and four new" strategy and building a modern new Yongzhou, accelerating the construction of "three districts and two cities", and accelerating the construction of a regional economic development pattern of "one core, two axes and three circles", with unlimited development prospects. In particular, in recent years, we have vigorously promoted the in-depth integration and development of culture, ecology and tourism, regarded the cultural tourism industry as an important engine to promote the high-quality development of Yongzhou, fully promoted the "Greater Shonan Docking Greater Bay Area", introduced preferential policies, optimized the transportation network, explored cooperation mechanisms, and wholeheartedly provided the most preferential policies, the best service, the best environment and the most favorable platform for every guest and friend who went to Yongzhou for sightseeing and tourism, investment and development, and promoted Yongzhou to become a talent gathering depression, an industrial development highland, and a cultural tourism hot spot.
