Around the "three sons of Zizhou" to create three major cultural brands

The "Three Sons of Zizhou" culture specifically refers to the culture of loyalty, filial piety, patriotism, honesty, and honesty represented by the first meson of the "Spring and Autumn Three Masters" in ancient China, the heroic culture represented by Li Zizhou, the first person to build the party in modern Northwest China, and the film and television culture represented by Zhang Ziliang, the "fifth generation filmmaker" of contemporary China.

Create the "Three Sons of Zizhou" culture, refine the core essence, and gradually establish the brand value of the three cultures. Meson Tui embodies the spiritual concept of "Qingming Zizhou", Li Zizhou carries the core value of "Hero Zizhou", and Zhang Ziliang undertakes the cultural mission of contemporary "Humanistic Zizhou".

These three figures with special contributions have an inseparable relationship with Zizhou, casting the unique cultural connotation of today's Zizhou, focusing on the cultural influence represented by the "three sons" of Meson Push, Li Zizhou and Zhang Ziliang, carrying out cultural research on the "three sons of Zizhou" and carrying forward the cultural spirit of "Zizhou Three Sons", which is the best choice for creating a beautiful cultural business card of Zizhou!

The following is a brief description of the life history and contributions of the three representative figures:

Meson push (?) –636 BC), also known as Jiezhi Tui (介之推), was revered by his descendants as Jiezi (介子), a native of the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period, born in Wenxi Hutou Village and raised in Peijie Village, Xia County. Jie Zitui followed one of the Five Lords of the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wen GongZhong'er, traveled thousands of miles, and took refuge in the territory of Jinzizhou for 12 years. Spread agricultural civilization and sow the virtues of loyalty and filial piety. Because of the feat of "cutting off the shares and serving the king" and living in seclusion, he was deeply remembered by the world. The fist heart of "cutting the shares and serving the king to do his best" made the Jin Wen gong feel deeply guilty, so he changed the Mianshan Mountain to Jieshan Mountain, and set up a temple to sacrifice, which gave rise to the "Cold Food Festival" (the day before the Qingming Festival), and the poets and literati of all generations left a large number of chants to commemorate the poems.

As a Nobleman of the Spring and Autumn Period, the words and deeds of Jiezi Tui fundamentally embody the righteousness of the right way. Loyalty to the country is the spiritual driving force for our Chinese nation to stand in an invincible position for thousands of years! The behavior of the meson pushing and not saying lu is also the embodiment of the independent spirit of intellectuals, and because of this, Huang Tingjian praised "Shi Gan burned the unjust marquis, and his eyes were full of basil and a hill" (Song Huang Tingjian, "Qingming"). "Rich and noble cannot be lascivious, poor and lowly cannot be moved, and mighty cannot be bent." This spirit has nurtured and created countless benevolent men and heroes in Chinese history, heroes and heroes, who constitute the backbone of the Chinese nation; The contempt of The Mezi Tui for the fame and fortune of the people, the indignation against the treachery and deception, and the fallacies of the world; his "cutting off the stock and eating the king" is actually "eating the country," which is precisely the embodiment of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation's patriotism; in the meson Tui body, he contains a deep and sincere love for the motherland.

The meson pushes the loyal king to righteousness, despises the integrity of fame and fortune, and flows through the centuries, which is deeply moving. Later generations not only commemorated him with the "Cold Food Festival", but also built a large number of ancestral halls and temples to commemorate him, and the literati Yashi Deng's inscriptions and entertaining lyrics are even more numerous. Zizhou Nanchuan, also known as The Heavy Ear River, is not only the history of the meson pushing the name of the Qing Dynasty, but also the Emperor Tianhou Soil that gave birth to Chinese civilization! For thousands of years, the Chong'er River Basin has retained the traditional cultural activities of the Cold Food Festival, which is based on the sacrifice of the meson Tui Zhong, filial piety and patriotism, and the Qingming Dynasty.

Li Zizhou (1892~1929) was named Dengying, pen name Yimin. A native of Suide, Shaanxi. Due to the difficult family's situation, he only started school at the age of fifteen or sixteen. In the spring of 1917, he was admitted to the preparatory department of Peking University, and two years later he entered the department of philosophy. During the May Fourth Movement, he served as an officer of the Peking University Student Union, actively participated in the burning of Zhao Jialou and other righteous struggles, and soon joined the Marxist Theory Research Society of Peking University founded by Li Dazhao.

From 1920 to 1922, he participated in the establishment of the semi-monthly magazine "Qin Zhong" and "Gongjin" and the founding of the Gongjin Society, a youth progressive organization in Beijing, and was one of the main leaders of the Gongjin Society, and also the writer and publisher of the semi-monthly magazine "Gongjin", and successively published more than ten articles such as "Several Points of Reform of Shaanxi Normal School" and "Commemoration of May Day", which was known as the "brain" of Gongjin Society. At the beginning of 1923, he joined the Communist Party of China through the introduction of Li Dazhao and Liu Tianzhang.

After serving as the principal of the Fourth Suide Division in 1924, he successively founded the Suide Branch of the Gongjin Society and the Northern Shaanxi Youth Club, and founded a civilian school in Suide City. While running the school, Li Zizhou devoted a great deal of energy to creating the local organization of the CPC and the Youth League in northern Shaanxi. In November 1924, the first party group in northern Shaanxi was established, and in June 1926, the local executive committee of the CPC Suide was established in the Fourth Division of Suide Province, unifying the leadership of the CCP organizations in various parts of northern Shaanxi. The Fourth Suide Provincial Division became the source and activity center of the revolution in northern Shaanxi and was known as the "Shanghai University of Shaanxi".

In late February 1927, the Executive Committee of the Shaanxi-Gansu District of the Communist Party of China was established in Xi'an. Li Zizhou served as a member of the Shaanxi-Gansu District Executive Committee of the CPC and was responsible for organizational work. Thanks to the efforts of him and his comrades-in-arms, in less than half a year, the CPC and the Communist Youth League organizations were widely established in more than 40 cities and counties in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the number of party members grew to more than 2,400; the membership of peasant associations in Shaanxi reached more than 700,000, second only to Hunan and Hubei, becoming one of the provinces where the revolutionary movement in the country was on the rise.

In October 1927, under the planning of Li Zizhou, the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China launched an armed uprising in Qingjian, firing the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries in the northwest region. In January 1928, Li Zizhou participated in the preparation of the Weihua Uprising, and together with Liu Jizeng, secretary and director of the Provincial Party Committee, drafted the "Fifth Circular of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China", after which he specifically led the planning of the Weihua Uprising. When all the preparations for mobilizing the peasants were ready, Liu Zhidan, Tang Shu, Xie Zichang, and other military cadres were successively dispatched to Sanyao Town, Luonan County, to work in the army where Xu Quanzhong, a communist, served as the brigade commander, and a large number of party members were drawn from the localities to enrich the strength of the Xu Brigade. In November 1928, Li Zizhou acted as secretary of the provincial party committee. He and his comrades-in-arms conscientiously summed up the lessons of the failure of the Qingjian Uprising and the Weihua Uprising and redeployed the revolutionary struggle in the province. At the beginning of 1929, due to the betrayal of traitors, the provincial party organs were seriously damaged, and Li Zizhou and other responsible persons were arrested successively.

In prison, Li Zizhou was unyielding, leaving the Kuomintang counter-revolutionaries with nothing to gain. Li Zizhou had been sick with overwork before he was imprisoned. After being imprisoned, the new Kuomintang warlords and prison guards and prison guards brutally tortured him, causing him to aggravate his stomach disease, and he suffered from typhoid fever and lung disease, and his body was very weak. His friends advised him to use the funds of the Relief Society to buy some tonic medicines, but he politely refused. Through the help of guards and friendly people outside the prison, Li Zizhou wrote a letter to his sister Li Dengyue in his hometown, saying: I am not afraid of death, I have sacrificed alone, there are more people alive, the future society is bright, do not shed tears for me.

On June 18, 1929, Li Zizhou died of illness in prison. Li Zizhou believed in Marxism, sacrificed his precious life for the great cause of the Communist Party of China without hesitation, and was later posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr. In January 1944, in order to commemorate the founder of the Communist Party of Northern Shaanxi, Xichuan County (Suixi County) of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government was renamed Zizhou County, demonstrating the immortal contribution of this early member of the Communist Party of China.

Zhang Ziliang (1941.5~2007.8), a native of Zhangjiagou Village, Dianshi Town, Zizhou County, Shaanxi Province. He is a member of the China Democratic League, a national first-class screenwriter, a writer, and a director of the China Film and Literature Society. In November 1997, he was named an expert with outstanding contributions in Shaanxi Province by the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and in March 2003, he was named "National Model Worker".

Zhang Ziliang was mainly engaged in the creation of films and television dramas in his lifetime, and also published many poetry and prose works. A total of more than 30 TV dramas have been written, and three kinds of film drama collections have been published. Among them, the TV series "Magpie Tears" won the first Golden Eagle Award of China Television; the film "Silent Xiaolihe" won the 1994 Excellent Film Award of the Ministry of Culture; "One and Eight" won the Bronze Drum Award of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region; "Journey to the West" won the "Five Ones" Project Award; "One Tree" won the 1997 Film Huabiao Award, the Excellent Feature Film Award, the "Five Ones" Project Award of the Central Propaganda Department and Shaanxi Province, and the Seventh Chinese Culture Award in 1999. The film "Yellow Land" has won many awards at seven major international film festivals, including the Royal Film Festival. His poetry won the first prize of Shaanxi Province. He has published and published many novels, including My Garden of Eden (long story).

Zhang Ziliang is an outstanding explorer of the film path in the new era. "One and Eight" breaks the previous clear distinction between "good guys" and "bad guys", attaches great importance to form, and becomes the pioneer work of the fifth generation. "Yellow Land" has no twists and turns in the storyline, but uses a unique artistic conception to present the audience to the loess slopes of northern Shaanxi and the ignorant peasants living on this barren land; the ink of "Yellow Land" does not fall on that person, but is committed to integrating people and the environment, breaking the traditional concept of film language in content and form, and becoming a representative work of the fifth generation of directors. His works "Yellow Land" and "One and Eight" are of landmark significance, and have been praised as "the pioneering work of Chinese cinema to the world in the new era" and "a milestone in the history of Chinese cinema". It has opened a new page for the development of China's film industry.

He has participated in the preparation of film and television dramas such as:"A Tree" (1996), "Folk COUNTRY FOLK" (1986), "One and Eight", "Yellow Earth of the Yellow Land" (1984), "The Quiet Little LI RIVER" (1984), "Life (Upper and Lower Episodes) LIFE" (1984), "One and Eight ONE AND EIGHT" (1984).

There are many cultural celebrities who have gone out from northern Shaanxi, and their eyes have moved to the film industry, and there is a person who cannot be bypassed in any way, he was praised by the media at that time as "the father of cinema in the new era" and "the grandmaster of the fifth generation of Chinese cinema".

He Zhiming, director of Western Film, recalled: It was Zhang Ziliang who introduced Lu Yao to Wu Tianming, and then there was the movie "Life", and the responsible editor of "Life" was Zhang Ziliang. Zhang Yimou knew Wu Tianming, and his beginning was also through Zhang Ziliang! When filming "Life", Zhang Ziliang introduced Zhang Yimou to Wu Tianming and entered the palace of film literature, and later there was "Old Well", "Red Sorghum", and a world-renowned director! Zhang Ziliang is the second most iconic figure in the cultural field after Northern Shaanxi Road Yao.

Film screenwriter Reed recalled: The movie "Double Flag Town KnifeMan" can be launched, Zhang Ziliang played a very key role, because in the stage of conceiving and planning, he was supported by Zhang Ziliang, and when deciding on the film shooting, Zhang Ziliang was already the deputy director of the leadership of Western Film, and he made a key contribution.

The famous calligrapher and writer Ma Zhiquan wrote in "Experiencing the Beginning and End of Lu Yao's Death" that after Lu Yao's "Life" was published, Wu Tianming wanted to make a movie, and Lu Yao had never written a movie script, so Wu Tianming asked Zhang Ziliang to help him. After the script was written, only Lu Yao's name was signed. Zhang Ziliang said: "I have nearly twenty film scripts, and it doesn't matter much if I have one more or one less. And Lu Yao just debuted, there is a movie script that must feel good. My name is crowned in front, and the hustle and bustle will spoil this beauty. "Lu Yao is famous for his "Life" movie, but the general public cannot know the unique contribution of Zhang Ziliang, the hero behind the scenes. It truly embodies the great righteousness of the Zizhou people.

Based on the current situation of Zizhou, around the cultural connotation of "Zizhou Three Sons", how to effectively promote and form a brand, we must work together for a long time. The author and cultural scholars from all walks of life exchanged and discussed, and agreed that the following aspects can be created to form an atmosphere and form a climate.

The first is to build a position. With Nanchuanyuan Zeping Village as the axis, we will build the "Qingming Zizhou" Qingming Cultural Park with the memorial of Meson Push as the core, spread the idea of loyalty and filial piety and patriotism, promote the qingming and clean culture, and develop intangible cultural heritage face flower products.

In Miaojiaping, taking the Memorial Hall of Comrade Li Zizhou as the front, we should publicize and popularize the cultural connotation of "Heroic Zizhou", and widely publicize the heroic deeds of the heroic zizhou children represented by Li Zizhou: Ma Wenrui, An Ziwen, Wang Fuzhi, Gao Weisong, An Zhiwen, Pang Guoxing, and so on, and further let the Zizhou people be tenacious, dare to fight, dare to fight, forge ahead, and be grateful and righteous.

Zhang Ziliang Literature Museum was built in Zhangjiagou, Zizhou County, and Zhang Ziliang Academy was founded in Zizhou County to promote the new image of "Humanistic Zizhou". The cultural elite groups of Zizhou represented by Zhang Ziliang: Huang Helang, An Futang, Dang Shengyuan, Liu Yanlin, Wang Zhougui, Zhang Junyi, An Suotang, Zhang Shengwei, Tuoyi, Wang Shengcai, Liu Xiaoling, Wang Sullen and other cultural creation achievements were displayed in a concentrated manner, further excavating the five-thousand-year-old Yellow Emperor's literary vein, and creating a new realm belonging to the literary cause of northern Shaanxi.

The second is the tree brand. Sing the "Zizhou Three Sons" cultural brand, the "Qingming Zizhou", "Hero Zizhou" and "Humanistic Zizhou" represented by Meson Push, Li Zizhou and Zhang Ziliang as the loud landmarks of Zizhou County, through the new media matrix platform, online and offline synchronous promotion, so that the "Zizhou Three Sons" culture is well-known in northern Shaanxi, Shaanxi is famous, and the whole country knows.

The third is to produce results. With the garden Zeping Qingming Park, which promotes the patriotic feelings of loyalty and filial piety, as the carrier, he created a picture book for the promotion of Qingming culture, film and television dramas, especially the TV script "Heavy Ears and Ji Yan" created by Zhang Junyi. Produce creative products for Qingming and honest government, and produce intangible cultural heritage noodle flower series products.

Around the Li Zizhou Memorial Hall, the "Hero Zizhou" red reading book, film and television works, cultural and creative stone sculptures represented by Li Zizhou were developed, and the cinema film "Li Zizhou" was filmed, so that the hero image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Based on Zhang Ziliang Literature Museum and Zhang Ziliang Academy, it mainly promotes Zhang Ziliang's series of film and television works to the screen, and then drives the cultural undertakings of Zizhou and even northern Shaanxi to revitalize again.

The country must have cultural self-confidence, the region must have a cultural brand, a county named after the hero, but also to undertake the heavy responsibility of maintaining and promoting the cultural brand! Based on the unique cultural connotation of "Zizhou Three Sons", continuing to promote the three major cultural brands of "Qingming Zizhou", "Hero Zizhou" and "Humanistic Zizhou" will surely make the banner of the cultural county in northern Shaanxi fly for a long time.
