Yueyang small village has a big "national race"
The second national essay of Shouxing Garden Scenic Area was opened in Yueyang
Hunan Daily, New Hunan Client, February 14 (Reporter Xu Yaping) This afternoon, "Wanjin Essay, Wait and See" Yueyang Shouxing Garden Scenic Area Second National Essay Launch. It did not have any form of ceremony, but only posted a message on the "WangbaLing" public account, opening with a paperless office and no gathering.
Located in Gongtian Town, Yueyang County, Shouxing Garden is a new five-star tourist area (point) in Hunan Province in January this year, which won the favor of the judging team with its mountain elegance, love clock and life. At the 13th Party Congress of Yueyang County in 2021, Xiao Xianghui, secretary of the CPC Yueyang County CPC Committee, included the creation of "Shouxing Culture" in the cultural brand creation project.
The "park" was inhabited by a population in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was the location of the "occupation field" of Chen Yue, the first Yuezhou Tongjue, and its original name was Raoxi. According to legend, Shouxingyuan was named "garden owner" Chen Yifa, who was a Southern Song Dynasty Hanlin, born in Dongshan Bay, Raoxi, and together with Huang Yu, Li Binwang and Luo Xiaofen, he was the "Four Sages of Yuezhou in the Song Dynasty". Since the seventh year of Ming Jiajing, he has been enshrined as a township sage in the Yuezhou Confucian Temple. In his later years, Chen Yifa and his wife lived in seclusion in the Qinglin Ridge Garden. Because the couple lived for 101 years after marriage, and enjoyed the two major stories of a hundred years of good couples and a double birthday, from the age of 100, the local villagers changed the fork garden to the birthday star garden, and this new name is still used today.
In many local documents in Hubei, Hunan, there are "Chen Yifa Biography" and related deeds, but there is no mention of his specific age. The earliest note of the scholar who recorded his age has been found, which is the Ming Dynasty Baling Juren Yi Zhen (字敬之, 号竹坡). Yongle six years penzike Huguang township trial person). Yi Yi was 19 years after Chen Yifa's death, when he was 5 years old, and he met Chen Yifa's wife, Fu Xiuchao, who was 142 years old, with his sister (Chen Yifa's granddaughter-in-law). Later, in Yi Chen's biographical articles, there were "Shi Dafu Yan Ji, gathering to talk about the Baling Wang clan, and first promoting the Dongshan Chen clan" and the high life record of Chen Yifa and his wife. The "Genealogy of the Chen Clan" has the second year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty and the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, and the inscription of the "Heavy Watch, Carving The Stone Loyalty and Filial Piety Shrine". Since then, the sacrifices of many Ming, qinghuguang governors and yuezhou prefects, regarding the age of the birthday star, are consistent with Yi Chen's account. A well-known figure in Yueyang, one of the "Ten Mile Three Shangshu" of the Ming Dynasty Hubu Shangshu Fang Blunt, left the shadow puppet play of "Fang Shangshu Shou Xing Tang Returns the Wish" passed down to the world.
Female birthday star Fu Xiuchao has a special physiological phenomenon, only one breast on the right breast. Three children gave birth to nine children, all of whom were fed by single milk, and were known as "single milk lady". Chen Yifa's mother", "Epitaph of Mrs. Lan of Chen Mother", unearthed in 2020, records that "Lady Lan, three children and seven sons, through the grandchildren of men and women sixty-three people", seven children only married one wife, an average of nine people, directly confirming that his eldest daughter-in-law Fu Xiuchao's three children and nine sons are true stories rather than legends.
Since the Nineteenth Year of Jiajing Gengzike (1540) Huguang Township Examination, 16-year-old Jiangling juju Zhang Juzheng Shou Hall Yan plaque inscription, Yueyang Shou culture has entered the "highway" of dissemination, from Yueyang famous throughout the country. Shouxing Station and Shouxing Gate are all commemorative buildings built by the government later.
The climax is followed by silence. In the past hundred years, following the Quzi Ancestral Hall and du Fu's Tomb Ancestral Hall, the Yueyang Cultural Landscape Shouxing Garden has faded from people's memories, far less than the vitality of the first two landscapes. In 2013, under the attention of historian He Guangyue, playwright Chen Yaxian and other Wenyuan Shixian, Chen Huikun, a local farmer "village official", formed the "Yueyang County Shouxing Hermit Cultural Society", a social organization. The society is obsessed with the study of local cultures, and its members are all volunteers. The funds of the Society have not been included in the financial budget, nor have they been specially received, and they have not given up for many years with the enthusiasm of the people. In 2014, the first Shouxing Hermit Cultural Competition was successful, and only the Propaganda Department of the county party committee pulled out 20,000 yuan of special funds, and the rest were self-funded by the society.
Rural revitalization has taken a strong step. The cultural and tourism department of Yueyang County and the Government of Gongtian Town have compiled the "Shouxingyuan 3A Scenic Area Plan" and gradually promoted it. The honors of the municipal beautiful housing field, the municipal civilized village and the provincial pension demonstration base have successively "settled" in the Shouxing Garden. In one village, there are 3 intangible cultural heritage at the municipal and county levels and 2 county-level cultural relics protection units, and this mountain village cultural phenomenon of villagers self-excavation, self-protection and self-maintenance has woven a brilliant chapter. The village-level non-genetic heritage hall, which was built with 5 million yuan of private financing and open with zero admission fees, has become a new attraction in the ShouxingYuan scenic spot.
