Coastal human geography | watchmen hidden in lost civilizations

The civilization created in human life is the objective world of cognition and adaptation summed up in the form of life carriers and written records; and it is in line with the sum of the humanistic spirit and inventions and creations that are in line with the pursuit of human spirit and are recognized and accepted by most people.

But everything that forms the structure of civilization originates from creation and orderly inheritance and development. The same is true of our long-standing Chinese civilization, from cave dwellers to tribes, and then to rural cities, which have been carried forward and passed down in an orderly manner for five thousand years; generation after generation, inheriting the past and opening up the future, generations have glory.

However, with the development of the social system and the construction of rural cities, the development of high-rise buildings and buildings in reinforced concrete is as fast as electricity. As a result, the civilization that should have been passed down in an orderly manner has been artificially destroyed, or the abandoned wilderness has been destroyed and extinct, and the humanistic inheritance has been broken.

As the loss and inheritance fault of civilization, there is a serious damage to the development of a country and a nation that cannot be healed; the lack of humanistic education derived from it will make future generations lose the roots of civilization and become people with empty ideas, which is difficult to be the great responsibility of the inheritance of China's national fortunes.

As a cultural monument, the destruction and excavation protection of civilization are also being carried out throughout the country, but with little effect. Despite this, in Sanya City, Hainan Province, there is such a "sharp" person, who has been in the wind and rain for more than twenty years, running in the streets and alleys of the downtown, in the desert villages and wild ruins, trekking and searching.

He is searching, looking for the relics of humanistic customs and customs handed down from generation to generation, looking for the rubble of ruins that have been forgotten but carrying historical memory; he also cares about the number, and strives to awaken people's long-sleeping ideology of inheriting and carrying forward the humanities, calling on the party and the government to rush to the rescue and protection.

"We want to protect the humanistic foundation of inheriting the national fortune of the nation for future generations!" This sharp man often said this to the people around him, to himself. His name is Li Hongxin. A Xiang Lingzi who lives in Sanya, Hainan.

In the 1990s, Li Hongxin came to Hainan Island and became one of the first sea breakers. Since he was a child, he has a strong interest in traditional culture, and everywhere he goes, he must search, discover, learn, promote, and be knowledgeable.

The original intention of coming to Hainan was to participate in the construction of this marine homeland and create his own life and career. However, when he set foot on the island, he found that the local residents who had lived here for generations had already precipitated a thick cultural heritage, but due to the separation of the strait, there was no communication and integration channel with the outside world, forming a regional humanistic blockade, which indirectly led to the embarrassing situation of social development lagging behind.

In the face of such a social system, Li Hongxin is keenly aware that if he wants to develop Hainan, it is far from enough to have foreign talents, but it is necessary to dig out the humanistic heritage of the island, promote the great development of culture and education for the whole people, and cultivate a new force that can shape an excellent next generation and inherit construction.

Based on this idea, he turned himself into a "lone traveler", rooted in the hot land of Sanya, braving the scorching sun, running around to find out; to understand the customs and customs of the neighbors, to explore ancient buildings, and to visit the skilled craftsmen who inherited their skills.

Over time, his mind converged into a Hainan Humanities Dictionary; articles summarizing and promoting, shouting for excavation and protection were also frequently seen in the newspapers and online media. It has then aroused strong social repercussions, attracting the participation of the public and the attention and support of relevant government departments.

With the participation of the masses and the support of the government, Li Hongxin seems to have been injected with great energy, and he believes that what he has done is of great value. Therefore, in September 2014, he and a group of like-minded humanities fans formed the Sanya Human Geography Society.

With a team, this career momentum is even greater. Moreover, the Sanya Federation of Social Sciences, the Sanya Tourism and Cultural Bureau, the Propaganda Department of the Jiyang District Party Committee, the Sanya Municipal Mass Art Museum, the Sanya Municipal Library and other units have all thrown olive branches to them, providing resources and strength in the form of project cooperation, and jointly exploring the inheritance of Sanya's cultural heritage!

At this time, Li Hongxin smiled happily. All the hard work, it's worth it!

But those who knew him felt pain in their hearts. Because in the years when the white colt passed, he dedicated his great youth to the land of Sanya and the simple people here; the gentle and elegant yesterday of the Yushu Linfeng evolved into a Mediterranean hairstyle and the maturity carved with the traces of time.

On November 12, 2021, at the Sanya Human Geography Society Excavation Protection and Inheritance Seminar held at the Sanya Qunyi Museum, and the next two days participated in the visit and inspection of traditional ancient villages and cultural sites such as Yazhou Ancient Architecture, Confucius Temple, Shuinan, Baoping, Luobi Cave, Tiandu Iron Mine, etc.

I saw that the local villagers' care for the cultural relics and monuments around them (folk ancient villages) and the value conversion of the humanistic heritage promoted the rapid economic development of their hometown, thus winning a happier living environment, and I expressed infinite emotions in my heart.

This also made everyone fully realize the thickness of Sanya's humanistic heritage and its unique charm, and had more respect for Li Hongxin, a man from the land of Sanxiang; fully understood why he had been doing the "lonely cause" of an ascetic for decades.

It was also in these few days that I accidentally found that there was a gentle and elegant woman next to him, and a well-behaved and lively and intelligent little girl, who often smiled and secretly applauded him. With a curious mind to inquire, Fang knew that it was his wife and Ling Jie who silently supported him.

Out of the man's sense of responsibility for the family, he could not help but greet the sister-in-law who had met for the first time; in the conversation, he learned that the couple had gathered less and more since they were married, and now that the daughters were in the fifth grade of primary school, the time spent with their father could be clearly counted.

Hearing this, Li Hongxin just smiled vigorously, and his warm palm gently stroked his daughter's hair. It could be seen that his heart was full of apologies for the mother and daughter. I couldn't help but ask her: "Didn't you regret choosing a man like Hongxin Brother?" ”

"There are complaints and complaints, but he did all this in order to preserve the roots of national culture and inherit the soul of the next generation of children." The days are a little bitter, it is worth it, there is nothing to regret. Today, my children and I have moved to Sanya, and the family is finally reunited. ”

Listening to his wife's words, Li Hongxin's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude, and he subconsciously placed his chin on the top of his daughter's head and gently rubbed it; this was a transmission of a father's love for his daughter. And I, the same lonely person who wandered at the end of the world, also made this language move to tears.

What a magnificent and heroic language, and what a great and noble sentiment! It is this ordinary family that awakens the humanistic protection awareness of the people, promotes the wheel of humanities leading economic development, and retains the roots and soul of national culture for future generations!

Gazing at the lofty sky, it is as if you feel the strong humanistic atmosphere rushing straight to Qingxiao; it is the thick foundation precipitated by the survival and reproduction of the Sanya people for generations, and it is also the leading banner that leads Hainan's economy to enter the international stage, because the nation is the world.

And Li Hongxin, the watchman who has been quietly cultivating in the lost civilization, will surely become the leader of the tide leading the times. I believe that with the help of sanya governments at all levels and many colleagues, he will bring the new development of humanistic education in this region to glory!
