The finishing touch of Dongfangshuo Park is the Oriental Shuo statue located in the middle of the park and known as the "New Landmark of Lingcheng".
Come and see——"
The sky is clear and the sun is shining. Dongfang Shuo stood majestically, holding up the book in his left hand, holding the sword in his right hand, staring into the distance, leaning forward slightly, trying to start forward, and the beautiful beard danced with the wind.

The oriental Shuo statue uses freehand modeling techniques and divine carving techniques to strengthen the characteristics of Oriental Shuo's "wisdom and saint", and the stone carving material makes it more powerful and powerful. The statue stands on a purple marble pedestal measuring 1.6 meters high and 5 meters long and 5 meters wide. Purple red is simple and dignified and compatible with the modern festive atmosphere, and the golden characters of "Oriental Shuo" on the yang side are particularly eye-catching and sparkling. The statue is 9 meters high and 6 meters wide at its widest point, which is the largest of its kind in the province. "9" is the largest number in the world, implying that successive generations have respected "the first in the world in the East". Several other figures symbolize "smooth sailing" and "five blessings at the door", expressing the praise of the people of the whole region for a happy life and a better future.
Dongfang Shuo (161 BC – 93 BC), also spelled ManQian, was a native of Pingyuan (present-day Shentou Town, Lingcheng District). He was recommended by a commoner, an official to the Taizhong Doctor, and a bureaucrat to the matter, known for his witty humor, known for his wisdom and versatility, and was revered as the "Sage of Wisdom" and the originator of Chinese cross-talk, jokes, riddles, divination, and folk literature. In January 2007, "Oriental Shuo Folklore" was included in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Shandong Province.
Dongfang Shuo lost his parents and grew up on his brothers and sisters-in-law. I only read at the age of 13, studied hard, and read enough literature and history books in 3 winters. Learned fencing at the age of 15. At the age of 16, he studied "poetry" and "book" and read 220,000 words. At the age of 19, he learned Sun Wu's art of war and the manipulation of battle fronts, understood the use of various weapons and the drums of soldiers in combat, and also read 220,000 words of such books. A total of 440,000 words.
In the first year of jianyuan (140 BC), in the early years of Emperor Wu's reign, he recruited the world's wise and virtuous fangzheng and people with literary talents. The 22-year-old Dongfang Shuo wrote to Emperor Wu of Han, a total of three thousand bamboo Jane, and Emperor Wu of Han took two months to read it. In the self-recommendation letter, Dongfang Shuo stated his life resume, physiognomy characteristics and main strengths, and confirmed that he had the conditions to serve as a minister to assist Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wudi of Han was very appreciative after reading it, and ordered him to stay in the Zhao Bus Office, but there were not many fenglu, and he could not be summoned by Emperor Wudi of Han.
After a while, Dongfang Shuo was not satisfied with the situation at that time, so he was clever and flexible in the way of intimidating the dwarfs, and waited for the Golden Horse Gate. In a shooting scene, he refutes Guo Sheren and is fortunate to be a chang waiter.
In the third year of Jianyuan (138 BC), Dongfang Shuo was 24 years old. Emperor Wu of Han wanted to enclose a large area of land south of the Afang Palace and build a forest garden. Dongfang Shuo objected and went to the "Advice on Shanglin Yuanshu", and later Emperor Wu of Han made Dongfang Shuo the Grand Master of Taizhong and added an official to Shizhong.
When Dongfang Shuo was a Lang official, the imperial court was troubled, and most of the literati were envoys to the four directions, only he and Mei Gao and Guo She were humorous and entertaining around Emperor Wu of han, and people called him a funny family. Dongfang Shuo's antics and deeds are especially recognized and respected by the world, and he is in a quasi-haiku position in the Han court, and is the "courtier" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But Dongfang Shuo's personality is funny, and it is not aimlessly witty for the sake of humor. Throughout his life, his comical and witty purpose lies in the early stage of seeking favor and the later stage of maintaining his dignity in front of the noble. What he hoped for was not to make Emperor Wu of Han like his antics and witty, but to make him like and support his speech and adopt his advice.
Dongfang Shuo is a talented, idealistic, and righteous person. He is not willing to occupy a haiku position and a "rigoster" situation, so while being funny and witty, he dares to speak out. Exhortation to disturb the people, counsel fornication and incivility, and admonition to abolish the law are important contents of his counseling. Before he died, he also advised Emperor Wu of Han to "go far away from adultery and retreat from rumors." His outspoken character has always been praised. In the "Chronicle of History and Funny Columns", Chu Shaosun borrowed the mouth of Emperor Wu of Han and said: "Gu Dongfang Shuo is good at speaking. Kang Piyang of the Ming Dynasty praised in the "Collected Works of Mr. Dongfang": "Foolishly reading Ban Mengjian's "Book of Han" and deeply feeling mr. Dongfang, satirizing and directly advising each returns to the right, beyond the Han court, it is of great benefit to the lord." ”
Dongfang Shuo is a prolific and well-known writer who is good at creating in a variety of art forms. In the "Oriental Dazhongji" edited by Zhang Pu, in addition to the doubts in the "Preface to the Ten Continents", there are 8 genres and 14 works, namely: Sao ("Seven Commentaries", including "Chu Fang", "Shen Jiang", "Complaining about the World", "Grievances", "Self-Sorrow", "Lamentations", "False Advice"), Shu ("Shu Qi" Shanglin Yuan Shu", "Ying Zhao Shang Shu"),Shu ("Book with Gongsun Hong", "Book of Borrowing Horses from Gongsun Hong", "Book with Friends"),Discourse ("Treatise on Non-Mr."), Difficulty ("Answering Guest Difficulty", "Answering The Difficulty of Riding a Horse"), Ode ("Ode to Drought"),Ming ("Treasure Urn Ming") Poems ("Stronghold Song", "Commandment Poem", "Oh Boyi"). Among them, "Answering the Difficulty of Answering Guests" and "The Theory of Mr. Non-You" are his important representative works, which were written in his later years after the failure of the road of slander.
Dongfang Shuo is a person who understands history and current affairs. He realized that his ambitions, ideals, and talents were difficult to exert, so he had the idea of retreating to the hidden, and summed up such a conclusion from countless historical events: "Those who use for the scholar are tigers, and those who are not used are rats." "He was a very intelligent man, and instead of complaining about strange things, slandering the emperor, or slandering his colleagues, he expressed his troubles through clever ideas.
Dongfang Shuo is the originator of jokes and crosstalk. Crosstalk belongs to the art of language. In ancient China, people attached great importance to language arts. As a result, a lot of language masters have emerged. After the Song Dynasty, language art took to the stage, and many "funny and ironic" works appeared in the miscellaneous dramas. After the Ming Dynasty, the next-door drama and joke telling known as "Elephant Sound" were widely developed, and the content gradually transitioned from analog form and sound to a modern art form that "speaks, learns, teases and sings". Although the formation era of cross-talk is difficult to confirm, according to historical records, it should be no later than the middle of the 18th century (Qianlong period), mainly popular in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Since Zhang Sanlu and Zhu Shaowen, crosstalk has officially formed an industry. The ancestor they worshiped was Dongfang Shuo.
There is some truth in saying that Dongfang Shuo is the founder of xiangsheng, first of all, he is recognized by generations as a language master who can speak eloquently and humorously, which is the basic skill required for crosstalk. When Ma Sanli, a famous Chinese master of cross-talk performing arts, performs, there is a large fan background behind him, which reads "Han Palace Dongfang Shuo, the grandfather of Chinese jokes and cross-talk". Jiang Kun, chairman of the China Qu association, has built the China Xiangsheng Museum in Beijing, with 3 portraits in a prominent position, 2 of which are Oriental Shuo. Jiang Kun once came to Lingcheng District to participate in related cultural activities, and specially came to pay respects to the statue of Dongfang Shuo. Secondly, as early as the Song Dynasty, Dongfang Shuo was named the "Marquis of Wisdom", and his political identity was also mentioned as the status of a princely general, so he had the political capital of "Grandmaster".
Dongfang Shuo is the originator of riddles. "The Origin of Riddles in the History of Chinese Customs" says: "Riddles, hidden languages, acting and exposing, ancient riddles, if their meaning is made." The Hermit of the Orient is also. Jin Liu Xunzhi's "Wenxin Carved Dragon And Harmonic Hidden Chapter" says: "There are eight of the ten hidden books of the Han Shu, and the Xin and Gu texts are recorded at the end of the song. Xi Chuzhuang, Qi Wei, good sex is a hidden language. To the Oriental Manqian, especially Qiao's remarks. ”
Dongfang Shuo is the originator of divination. Dongfang Shuo and Emperor Wu of Han in the Han Palace often played "shooting over". The "Chronicle of History and Funny Column" says: "The rear cabinet of the Jianzhang Palace has something out of it, and its strength is like a paste. Hearing this, Emperor Wu looked at him. Ask the left and right courtiers to learn the scriptures, mo can not know, zhao Dongfang Shuo look at it. After Dongfang Shuo asked for the title twice, he told Emperor Wu of Han: "The one who has the teeth is also." The distant should come to righteousness, and the fangs are seen first..." Later, the Xiongnu Hun Evil King did indeed lead 100,000 soldiers to surrender to the Han. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han rewarded Dongfang Shuo again.
Dongfang Shuo is the originator of popular culture. Liu Xun, the founding father of literary criticism, commented on Dongfang Shuo's article: Not only are there elegant articles with lofty ambitions and pearls that can be compared with Sima Qian's famous book "The Book of Baoren Shaoqing", but he also wrote a large number of articles that are easy to understand. The change of Chinese words from rhyme to dispersion is the first of the Eastern Shuo, and its articles are easy to understand, witty and interesting, elegant and popular, and "happy to be recited by the mediocre". The "Book of Han and the Biography of Oriental Shuo" says: "Liu Xiangyan asked the elders and sages about the number of hours, and those who were familiar with things and Shuo Shi were all known as Shuokou and advocated harmoniously, and they liked to recite them for the mediocre, so that there were many rumors in later generations." ”
Regarding Dongfang Shuo, there are both objective records of the correct history, folk legend interpretations, and contemporary new evaluations, which have a high historical status. Its main characteristics are: patriotic and worried about the people, honest and straightforward advice, erudition and wisdom, witty and humorous.
According to incomplete statistics, from the death of Dongfang Shuo to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were nearly a hundred literati and court officials who wrote articles praising him. The Historian Chu Shaosun of the Western Han Dynasty wrote a biography of Dongfang Shuo in the "Chronicle of The Chronicle of The Funny Column". During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu wrote a detailed work for Dongfang Shuo in the Book of Han in a larger space. The Western Jin Dynasty literary scholar Xiahou Zhan left a popular painting praise for the Oriental Shuo Ancestral Hall. The Southern Dynasty historian and literary scholar Shen Yue praised Dongfang Shuo in his "Poems of He Xie Xuancheng". In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the politician, military expert, and calligrapher Yan Zhenqing who wrote the famous painting and praise monument, the famous poet Li Bai made a very high evaluation of the character of Dongfang Shuo in his poems such as "Jade Kettle Yin" and "Gift to song mountain coke refiner". The poet Saint Du Fu in "Two Articles on Shooting the Sun", As well as Bai Juyi in "Five Songs of Wing Xing and Unprinting out of the Gongfu", Liu Zongyuan in "Picking Cherries to Give Yuan Jushi when he was with Zhu Daoshi in the South Building of Wangxian Pavilion", the literary scholar Han Yu in "Reading the Miscellaneous Affairs of the Oriental Shuo", Wei Yingwu in "Sending The School Books to the Old Mountain Song", the poets Wu Jun, Wang Wei, Li Yuan, and Zhang Jianfeng all made a very high evaluation of Dongfang Shuo's behavior and ideological conduct in his own articles. In the Song Dynasty, the famous politician and literary scholar Wang Anshi, the literary artists Wu Zeng, Zheng Qiao, Huang Zhen, etc., also gave Dongfang Shuo a very high evaluation. The Yuan Dynasty literary scholar Fang Hui, in the "Examination of Continuing Ancient and Modern History", compared Dongfang Shuo with Sima Xiangxiang, but his sentiments were much higher than Sima Xiangxiang. Yan Fu, a famous politician of the Yuan Dynasty, praised Dongfang Shuo in the article "Yuan Rebuilding the Monument of the Oriental Gongmiao of the Han Taizhong Doctor": "Born as a famous qing, died as a famous god, waved the eight poles, and dan twilight for a thousand years." And written by Liu Geng, a great calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty and a scholar of Hanlin. In the Ming Dynasty, the respect for Dongfang Shuo was even more extreme. Lü Zhaoxi, Zhang Pu, Kang Piyang, Zhang Xie, Zhu Weixi and other writers and politicians have re-collected, compiled, and published the Oriental Shuo Anthology, which has been published in 5 editions, which is rare in the history of Chinese literature. In particular, Zhu Weixi's "Class Language" is a relatively comprehensive book. Ming Dynasty great Confucian Fang Xiaoru, Xie Tianrui, Li Zaizhen, Feng Menglong, Ge Shouli, He Liangjun, Xu Xiaoyuan, etc., all wrote articles highly praising Dongfang Shuo. In the folk, because Liu Bowen admired Mr. Dongfang's "Spirit Chess Sutra", it set off a climax of people's worship of Mr. Dongfang, and people spontaneously rebuilt the temple and reshaped the whole body. In the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor, as well as the literary scholars Wang Shizhen, Gu Zuyu, Li Ruzhen, and the late Qing Dynasty literary scholar Liu Shengmu, also wrote articles to give Dongfang Shuo a very high evaluation.
There are more than 180 articles (kinds) praising Dongfang Shuo in ancient times, involving inscriptions, praises, expositions, poems, novels and other genres. It can be seen that its historical status is high.
Before and after the founding of New China, more than 50 writers gave high praise to Dongfang Shuo, including the great literary scholar Lu Xun, the famous contemporary scholars Ju Deyuan, Dongfang Longyin, Wang Liqun, Fu Xuanchun, Fu Chunming, Yang Yongcheng, Li Xiaoli, Huang Zhenyun, Wang Jingping, and Taiwanese writer Gong Hong.
In the art world, from the great painter Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty, the nameless weaver of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ren Bonian of the Qing Dynasty, to the modern great painter Qi Baishi, there are paintings of Oriental Shuo, but most of them are painted as peach thieves.
Many texts deified the Eastern Shuo. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the Oriental Shuo had been passed down as a star of the year. According to historical records, after the death of Dongfang Shuo, Emperor Wu of Han asked the grand prince: "Are the stars and tools there?" The Great Prince said, "The stars have not been seen for eighteen years, and now they have seen their ears again." Emperor Wu of Han sighed, "Dongfang Shuo was born in the eighteenth year of the Fallen Emperor, but I don't know if it is the age of xingya!" "Miserable. China's first immortal genealogy, The Legend of the Immortals, contains a total of 71 immortals, and Dongfang Shuo ranks 43rd.
This statue was a well-known art expert of the Central Academy of Fine Arts that lasted for two years, synthesized the portraits of Dongfang Shuo made by painters of previous generations, and widely solicited the opinions and suggestions of well-known people from all walks of life and repeatedly revised the final draft, abandoning the image of the peach stolen immortal who was funny or even ugly in the past and lacked dignified wisdom; it was carved by a well-known carver in Quyang, Hebei Province, the hometown of famous stone carving, with high-quality granite. The unique physical properties of granite and the beautiful pattern make it a good material for architecture, and it enjoys the reputation of "king of rocks". It is not easy to weather, beautiful color, high hardness, wear resistance, is the preferred material for open-air engraving. The selection of this material is exquisitely crafted, which is enough to express the admiration of the people of the whole region for Dongfang Shuo and the determination to polish the "Zhisheng" brand.
Those who come to pay respects, stand solemnly, look up at the statue, and can't help but have the heroic spirit of remembering the sages, remembering history, advancing with the times, and pioneering and innovating!
The Oriental Shuo statue is located at the junction of the historical square and The Junction Square of China on the north-south axis of the park, further south, the cultural corridor stretches for nostalgia, the Taishan boulder welcomes the rising sun, and the moat water trickles down; the north head is a cultural and artistic center with typical Han Dynasty architectural styles.
The scenery greets the rising sun
The north side of Lingzhou Road, which is bustling with traffic, is the south main entrance of Dongfangshuo Park. The first thing that catches our eye is the three white jade arch landscape bridges lying side by side on both sides of the landscape river, like three white silk ribbons fluttering on the babbling blue waves. Under the bridge, the blue waves, the shallow bottom of the fish, the swaying green willows on both sides of the river, the flowers and leaves are luxuriant, which is pleasant. The landscape bridge has excellent stone materials and exquisite craftsmanship, and the four seasons of meilan bamboo chrysanthemum flowers carved on the guardrails on both sides, dragon and phoenix are auspicious, two dragon play beads and other patterns, which are festive and auspicious, full of vitality, highlighting the rapid economic development, social harmony and stability, and people living and working in peace and contentment in the whole district under the leadership of the district party committee and the district government. The landscape river under the bridge is a moat excavated by Taishou Yan Zhenqing of Tang Plain County, which was rebuilt according to the original shoreline.
Dongfang Shuo Park echoes Yan Zhenqing Park across the road (Lingzhou Road) and a river (Xinjin River), and the Han style and Tang rhyme overflow the Lingcheng.
Oriental Shuo Park Mingshi Shi Xiansheng Photography
Under the bridge, standing in front of us are huge landscape stones from the foothills of Mount Taishan, 10.6 meters long, 2.8 meters high, 1.8 meters wide, and weighing more than 140 tons. A huge stone in the plain area is suddenly erected, which makes people shocked! The red characters of "Dongfang Shuo Park" are engraved on the yang side of the boulder, and the reason why the Yan body is used is to commemorate Yan Zhenqing, a Tang Dynasty politician, military expert and calligrapher who was the Taishou of Pingyuan County (安德县, in present-day Lingcheng District); the park is named after "Dongfang Shuo", which means to commemorate Dongfang Shuo. Two historical and cultural celebrities gathered at one stone, which made people feel very pleased.
This blue boulder, placed in an east-west direction, takes on different animal figures from different angles. It resembles a giant elephant. It is like a kind of beast that the people of the mainland have respected since ancient times, and its life expectancy can reach more than 200 years in legend, and even in reality, its life expectancy is 70 or 80 years old, which can be comparable to the life expectancy of human beings. Since ancient times, the mainland has had auspicious terms and auspicious patterns such as "Happy Elephant Shengping", "Taiping Elephant", "Taiping Scene" and "Elephant Treasure Vase", symbolizing the prosperity of the Taiping Dynasty and auspicious wishes. Some auspicious patterns depict 3 halberds inserted in the vase, taking the "halberd" harmonic sound "level", which means "level three levels". It is also like a whale, which means "too safe and healthy, more than a year".
Walking down the landscape bridge, facing such a boulder, the tour route can be turned around, which can't help but remind people of the idiom of "when (stone) comes to run", I wish visitors to enter the garden to see the stone, good luck!
In the early morning, the landscape is beautiful and the sun rises in the east, which is beautiful and intoxicating. A good day begins here.
The promenade stretches over the past and the present
North of the Inscription Stone of Dongfang Shuo Park, there is a 68-meter-long cultural corridor built in a symmetrical arc on both sides, with a simple color and realistic shape, resembling the Tang City Wall of that year, echoing the moat that has just been crossed, making us feel as if we have returned to the spectacular scene of fighting the "Anshi Chaos" more than 1200 years ago.
Cultural Gallery Shi Xiansheng Photography
The 40 columns of the cultural corridor are inlaid with 40 black marble exhibition panels, which have counted the historical celebrities, cultural relics and monuments, major events, folklore and poetry of the Lingcheng District, highlighting the long history and splendid culture of the Lingcheng District: Lian po, Dongfang Shuo, Yan Zhenqing, Song Sex, Kang Piyang, Wang Fengqi, Wu Kuangwu and other celebrities of the past are like stars shining brightly; the "Three Qi" reputation "Painting Monument", the mysterious Andmian Han Tomb Group, the majestic Tang City Wall, the ancient and dignified Star Gate and many other cultural relics and monuments have attracted tourists from all over the world Yan Zhenqing's anti-rebellion in the plains, the peasant revolt in Lingxian County, and the battles of the Dazong family surged up and down, showing the indomitable national integrity; "The Legend of the Peach Fairy" and "The Legend of the Immortal Bridge" and other ancient recitations are fascinating; "The Legend of the Shanbin Cargo Cow" shows that the people of Lingcheng have a valuable character of treating people with sincerity since ancient times; Tang Wujun's "Yong Dongfang Shuo" and Song Wen Tianxiang's "Zanyan Lugong" have been passed down from generation to generation.
The boulder sinks into words
Further north, here is the historic square. Directly in front and on both sides of the road in an "n" shape arrangement are 1 white and 8 black marble inscription stones, which describe the construction history and territorial changes of Lingcheng District from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present.
Lingcheng District has a long history, splendid culture, material treasures, and outstanding people. During the Xia and Shang Zhou Dynasties, the kingdom of the Fengshi clan was sealed, and the Spring and Autumn Period belonged to the western part of Qi, qin set up sub-counties, Han set up Ande county, and Northern Qi until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty has been the seat of governance of Pingyuan County and Dezhou. During the Ming Hongwu period, Lingde was exchanged and was originally called Ling County. In December 2014, the county was withdrawn and set up as a district, which was the Lingcheng District of Dezhou City. Distributed on both sides of the inscription stone are the chic pebbles laid under the cover of pine cypress. Early in the morning and evening, after work, men and women, young and old, wandered around, or admired the inscription stone to review history, or stepped on the pebbles to relax and exercise, traveling through time and space for thousands of years, and suddenly had the feeling of "visiting the ancient and asking the present to inherit the tradition, and speeding up the new chapter of the spectrum"!
The bucket arch towers to praise harmony
To the north of the Oriental Shuo Statue is a Chinese knot square with festive, dignified and harmonious shape and paving. The square covers an area of 9,600 square meters, symbolizing the motherland's 9.6 million square kilometers of land forever in the hearts of the people of Lingcheng District.
Dou Arch Pillar on China Knot Square Shi Xiansheng Photography
It can accommodate more than 10,000 people to gather for various major events. Leaders at all levels and the vast number of urban and rural residents rejoice and share the fruits of happiness. Usually, it is an ideal place for citizens to carry out various cultural and sports activities.
On both sides of the square stand 10 arches of 10 white jade buckets with 10 meters high each, which are white and flawless, crystal clear. Dou arch pillar, also known as Han pillar, as the name suggests, that is, a pillar with Han Dynasty characteristics, based on Han Dynasty architectural elements, is a significant symbol of Han Dynasty architectural style, in the form of symbols to show the long history of Lingcheng. The Han Dynasty erected tall bucket arch pillars, one is to match the main building, showing its majesty and grandeur, and there is also a function, that is, the emperor records the names of meritorious Langguan at any time in preparation for promotion and reuse, so the "inscription Han Pillar" has become an allusion, figuring that Langguan is about to be appreciated by the emperor. In the park, 10 tall Han pillars are erected, one is to set off the main building culture and art center, and the other is to arouse people's thoughts about the sage Dongfang Shuo.
Variety Show Convergence Center
The north head of Dongfang Shuo Park is the main architectural culture and art center, which embodies the typical Han Dynasty architectural style.
The Han Dynasty was the first unified centralized and stable dynasty in Chinese history, and its architectural style also reflected the heroic style of great unification, which was manifested in the architecture of Dongfang Shuo Park, first of all, the concept of "heaven and earth" and "unity of heaven and man". We can see that the foundation of the main building of the Cultural arts center and its main body are square, and the middle theater goes straight up from the first floor to the top and highlights the height of half a floor as a cylindrical type, which means "heavenly round place", taken from the concept of "xingyuan wisdom square" of Dongfang Shuo, and also embodies the leading idea of the Han Dynasty's "unity of heaven and man", the ruling ideology of "the heavens are unchanged, the Tao is unchanged" and "the divine right of kings" and the idea of living in harmony between man and nature, which is an important reason why the architectural style of the Han Dynasty can be "used for the past and the present". The ingenious design reflects the long history and splendid culture of Lingcheng District. This design concept is also expressed in many functional areas such as leisure woodland, dance square, and opera square. The second is the pattern of "Mingtang Puyong", "Mingtang" is the place where the ancient emperors worked, "Puyong" means that the water is surrounded, and the combined idea of the two is "the king's Taoist education, like water flowing endlessly, omnipresent". The "Ming Hall" in Dongfang Shuo Park is obviously the main building of the Cultural and Arts Center, sitting north and facing south, graceful and luxurious; "Peiyong" is the river at the southern end, meandering and flowing endlessly. There is also a point of high-platform architecture, in order to express the spirit of King's Landing, Han Dynasty architecture mostly adopts high-platform foundation buildings, which has the meaning of deterrence and shows a high atmosphere. The main building of the Culture and Arts Center is also a high-platform building, built of rammed earth and surrounded by strips of stone, which fully reflects the architectural style of the Han Dynasty.
In addition, the building and the surrounding functional area also reflect the folklore "Nine Days of Shooting" that is widely spread around Texas. According to legend, there were 10 suns in the ancient sky, and there was a drought for many years, and the people did not have a good life. Later, Houyi shot down 9 of the suns, and since then, the wind and rain have been smooth and the grain has been abundant. Embodied in the Oriental Shuo Park, the 9 suns that shoot down are the 9 different functional areas distributed on it, and the 1 sun that is retained is the emblem in front of the Cultural Arts Center, which is based on the Cultural Relics pattern of the Han Dynasty, which is a golden yellow "sun", and the outside is a golden circle, and the inside is set with a "golden wu" that wants to fly, marking that the Lingcheng District is like the rising sun in the east.
The huge red spikes at the end of China at the south end of China Junction Square flutter northward, echoing the "Jinwu" emblem in the middle of the Culture and Arts Center and the 10 tall Han pillars on both sides of the square, combining ancient architectural styles with modern architectural art, and the cultural atmosphere is still strong, implying auspiciousness, harmony, wealth and consummation.
The cultural and art center has a construction area of 13,000 square meters and a total investment of more than 90 million yuan. Both Dongfang Shuo Park and the Cultural Arts Center were designed by Professor Xu Feipeng, a well-known design expert at Qingdao Technological University. Come to the hall on the first floor. The first thing that catches the eye is a huge white jade carving map - "Han Yun Customs Map". Han white jade carving originated in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty, highlighting its immortal charm with its unique artistic characteristics. On it, 13 patterns such as "Hunting Map", "Fish Viewing Map", and "Tethered Horse Diagram" are staggered and engraved on it, and the character images are vivid and ready to come out, bringing us to 2000 years ago and experiencing a han Dynasty style and custom.
Lingcheng District Culture and Arts Center Shi Xiansheng Photography
Behind the "Han Yun Customs Map", there is the Central Theater of the Culture and Art Center, with a construction area of 1,000 square meters and nearly 1,000 luxurious seats, one of the "Top Ten Interior Designers in Asia", who has participated in the design of the Great Hall of the People and the Olympic venues, and the doctoral tutor of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Professor Zhang Qiman, and the sound and optoelectronic experts of the China Radio, Film and Television Research Institute. The huge circular chandelier with the auspicious cloud pattern of the dome echoes the auspicious flowers carved in jujube red wood on the surrounding walls and the purple-red curtains and seats above and below the stage, exuding a joyful and peaceful festive atmosphere. State-of-the-art satellite reception equipment, JBL sound systems, Dolby surround sound systems, and 168 flood lights, computer lights, and general lights of various shapes and functions are installed here. First-class design and first-class facilities have created a beautiful art hall for the people of the whole district.

Dancing praises the world
On the west side of China Knot Square is the Dance Square. The elegant and beautiful environment and the smooth and clean venue provide a stage for the majority of dance lovers to show their skills. Passionate modern dance, classical and elegant traditional dance, etc., all make people enjoy the beautiful spirit.
The people of Lingcheng District have had the habit of loving dance since ancient times. Bungee drumming is a unique dance form that has evolved from court dance to folk dance in Lingcheng District, which is mainly popular in more than 200 villages in Mi Town, Songjia, ZiZhen and other townships. Hundreds of years of tempering, so that it has formed a strong regional cultural characteristics and a unique cultural and artistic style, which is loved by the broad masses of the people and is an important part of the folk dance of the Chinese nation. In 1978, when the county carried out the excavation of folk dance, the unique dance form of bungee was discovered, and professionals in dance, music, art, photography and other fields were organized to carry out systematic excavation and collation work. In 1985, the provincial department of culture and tourism conducted a video of the original dance. In 1998, he was included in the compilation of "Chinese National Folk Dance Integration". Since 2007, It has been included in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Dezhou City and the fourth batch of intangible cultural heritage in Shandong Province.

The national opera of the mainland has a long history and a wide variety of dramas, which can be described as a grand view of the ocean and a world-renowned treasure house of national art. According to statistics, there are a total of 317 drama genres in the mainland. The earliest surviving drama script is the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) script "Zhang Xiezhuangyuan". At present, the most influential drama is Peking Opera.
Peking Opera, also known as "Beijing Opera" and "National Opera", is a traditional Chinese opera with a history of more than 200 years. In the 55th year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1790), the four major emblem classes successively entered Beijing to perform, and during the years of Jiaqing and Daoguang, they cooperated with Han tune artists from Hubei, influenced each other, accepted some repertoire, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu opera and Qin cavity, and absorbed some folk tunes. After Daoguang, Cheng Changgeng, the head of the three major classes and the main actor, was known for singing Huiyin and Erhuang, and as Hubei Han tune actor Yu Sansheng and others entered Beijing to join the Hui class, he also brought the Hubei West Skin Tune known as "Chu Tune", which contributed to the formation of the "Pi Huang" singing voice that merged with the Hui tune and the Han tune. Peking opera is widely popular throughout the country.
The mainland customarily refers to the xiqu class as the "pear garden". According to legend, Pear Garden was originally a place name for Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and was planted with pear trees. The origin of the "Pear Garden" is recorded in the "Records of the Old Lang Temple of Wu County" written by Sun Xingyan, a jinshi in the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, in the ninth year of Jiaqing (1804): "... Yu traveled to and from the Capital Division, and saw the god of the Lao Lang Temple (referring to Xuanzong). According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the son of Gong Linggong was named Guangren, Yashan (霓裳羽衣舞), who was given the surname Li (李氏), and taught his sons in the Enyang Palace. Light loves pears, so pear trees are planted everywhere, because of the name pear garden. Future generations are regarded as the ancestors of happiness..." In the "Examination of pear gardens" written by modern Li Youbai, the origin of pear gardens is examined.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji loved singing and dancing at an early age. When he was 6 years old, his grandmother Wu Zetian held a feast in the palace courtyard to feast on the courtiers, and he impromptuly performed the song and dance program "Long Life Girl", a superb performance that won the appreciation of the imperial relatives and courtiers present. After Li Longji succeeded to the throne, he chose a pear garden in the palace court as a place to rehearse songs and dances, which is the origin of the "pear garden". Therefore, later generations of xiqu classes often used "Pear Garden" as their synonym, and opera artists called "Pear Garden Disciples". In particular, Bai Juyi wrote in the "Long Hate Song" that "the children of the pear garden are white-haired and new, and the pepper house is old and the old man is qing'e." "This title is further established.
