Beijing, March 17 (Liu Yue) "Like to see the rice tree thousands of heavy waves, eat rice and do not forget the breeders", in the recently concluded "2022 Chinese Poetry Conference", professor Wang Liqun recited a small poem greeting Academician Yuan Longping in the form of "reading ancient poems and tasting rice incense":
"His life was short and short, and he never stepped out of that rice field;
His life journey was long, long, from rice paddies to thousands of households. ”

Countless people crossed the five lakes and the four seas and rushed to Hunan to send Yuan Longping off. It rained continuously, and the memorial scene was covered with flowers for mourning. Three bundles of emerald green seedlings with dirt stood quietly on the front floor of Xiangya Hospital, which was particularly eye-catching.

"This is a gift he left to the people, and it is also a gift that the people have given him." ”
The emerald green leaves are his unfinished "dream of cooling under the grass"; the golden ears of rice are the wings of the old man who came to the world.

The ancient sages were all lonely, but the drinker kept his name. I think Li Bai is also happy, more than a thousand years have passed, people still remember his hobbies.
With a festive feeling of nostalgia for the ancestors, the memorial is displayed in the world
Confucius once praised Yu: "Filial piety to ghosts and gods caused by filial piety to the diet, and beauty to the crown by evil clothes", which shows the importance that Kong Shengren attaches to sacrifice and remember the ancestors. In Chinese folklore, there is no shortage of traditional festivals set up to commemorate the ancestors.
Cold Food Festival: According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, The Duke of Jin Wen was grateful for the ambition of his loyal subjects and ordered him to ban fire and cold food on the day of his death. The people also did not raise a fire because of their remembrance of the meson push, in order to send mourning.

Long Memorial: Their name is our home
Why commemorate heroes?
There is Jingyu County in Jilin Province, which originates from Yang Jingyu, a general of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army;
Zhimin Avenue in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, is to commemorate the revolutionary martyr Fang Zhimin;
Jinyuan Road, Jinyuan Middle School, Jinyuan Memorial Square and Jinyuan Park in Shanghai are named after Xie Jinyuan, a famous general who guarded Shanghai in the "Battle of Songhu";
In Yibin City, Sichuan Province, you can see "Zhao Yiman" everywhere. For example, Yiman Park, Yiman Avenue, Yiman Road, Yiman Middle School, Yiman Village, etc.
A "Age of Awakening" made the deeds of Chen Duxiu and his second son Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian a door of three loyal martyrs widely praised. Meanwhile, a road in Hefei, Anhui Province, went viral. Yanqiao Road is taken from "Yannian and Qiaonian", which is precisely to commemorate these two heroic martyrs.

Next to Yanqiao Road is Jixian Road, and Chen Duxiu is buried in Jixianguan, Anqing City, Anhui Province.

Yanqiao Road is short, Jixian Road is long, the two roads failed to meet, but both led to the "bustling avenue". Just as father and son in history have not been reunited, they have passed on the torch with the revolutionary cause they have pursued all their lives, and together they have achieved the Taiping Dynasty a hundred years later.
The commemoration of Chinese is as gentle and subtle as the spring wind and spring rain, how long and how romantic. (End)
