"Mountains are not high, there are immortals are famous", the Chinese nation is vast, there are countless famous mountains and rivers around the country, and there are many mountain ranges that are shrouded in mythology because of unique geographical location and other factors. Among these many famous mountains and rivers, there is one type of mountain that is very unique, that is, Maogong Mountain.
There are places named after Maogong Mountain in many places across the country, about a dozen, and there are Maogong Mountains in Hainan, Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Qingdao and other places. The natural landscape everywhere is either standing or lying down, showing the chairman's style.
Today we are talking about Maogong Mountain in Hainan, which was discovered in the 1990s. Around Maogong Mountain, a series of developments have been carried out in the Baoguo Tourist Area. The development of Maogong Mountain has had a great impact at home and abroad, with as many as 700,000 Chinese and foreign friends, social organizations, and party and government leaders coming to pay respects.
Hainan discovered Maogong Mountain, and the wish of the heroic spirit was fulfilled
In 1991, a scholar came to the Baoguo Farm in Ledong County, southwest of Hainan Island, and by chance, he found that the natural landscape at the top of the mountain resembled Chairman Mao Zedong, the shape was very realistic, and the overall mountain stone was very majestic.
This mountain was originally called "Baoguo Mountain" because of the natural landscape that resembles the great man Chairman Mao Zedong, and this mountain got its name "Maogong Mountain". Maogong Mountain is in the east of Baoguo Farm, forming a northeast-southwest trend, with abrupt peaks and stretching. Maogong Mountain is about 1,000 meters away from Baoguo Farm, 28 kilometers away from Ledong County, and about 40 kilometers away from Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area.
The altitude of Maogong Mountain is about 630 meters above sea level, the relative height is 320 meters, the length from head to chest is nearly 1000 meters, and the whole is composed of hard granite.
Mao Gongshan can see a very vivid head feature, which is also a huge granite rock support, with a length of 156.2 meters, a width of 82.2 meters, and a forehead of 53.4 meters; The length of the two eyebrows to the tip of the nose is 51.4 meters, and the length from the tip of the nose to the chin is 51.4 meters.
The forehead is a very prominent boulder, in addition, the eyes, nose, lips, neck, chest and other body parts are concave and convex, static and vivid.
An old wild forest has become the hair of "Chairman Mao Zedong" without bias, like the hairstyle of a real person. On the face of "Chairman Mao Zedong", there are more than a dozen trees naturally gathered together, growing in the position of the chairman's representative mole, impartial and just right.
One eye of "Chairman Mao Zedong" is serenely closed, and from this eye a clear spring flows, and the water flows endlessly all year round. In "Majestic and Spectacular - Mao Gong Mountain", it is written that the discovery of "Mao Gong Mountain" in the country is the heroic wish of the great man who "traveled all over the motherland, but did not come to Hainan" before his life.
There are even more magical coincidences, where history coincides with the ingenuity of nature. On the south side of Maogong Mountain is Baota Mountain, the altitude of Baota Mountain is 834.1 meters, and the number of the Central Guard Force is 8341, which coincides with the surprise.
To the east of Maogong Mountain is dongfanghong village, which symbolizes the place where the sun rises; To the south is the Village of Gongcun and the Village of resisting the United States, and the name is taken to express the people's willingness to follow the Communist Party to resist the United States and aid Korea and defend the country.
To the west is Baoguo Village and Baoguo Farm, which means "national treasure" or defending the country; To the north is the Liberation Village, in order to commemorate the liberation of the people; There is also a pagoda village at the foot of Maogong Mountain, which represents the lofty spirit of the people's yearning for revolution.
The creation of nature is so magical, here appeared the great Chairman Mao Zedong portrait, the village name around the portrait are closely related to Chairman Mao Zedong's brilliant life' glorious cause, let people not only have unlimited imagination space. Chairman Mao Zedong did not go to Hainan before his death, perhaps because it was a small regret of his, and he fulfilled his wish in this way.
It is also possible that the chairman still has his mind on the whole country and uses this way to pin his thoughts on himself. In short, the discovery and development of Maogong Mountain express our reverence for the chairman, and there are many interesting stories that have happened on this Maogong Mountain.
There are many stories under Maogong Mountain, and a string of wonderful and interesting things
The article "Majestic and Spectacular - Maogong Mountain" records in detail two short stories that happened on Maogong Mountain.
On October 28, 1993, more than 20 people, including Ruan Ruoshan, Tian Hua and Liu Bingyi, many veteran artists from the central government, came to Baoguo Farm to perform a charity performance. This time, the old artists came from Beijing to perform for the people working on the Baoguo Farm.
At first, the day of the performance was clear, until four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging high in the sky. However, at 4:15, dark clouds began to gradually gather in the sky until they covered the entire square.
When the actors began to perform, the square was very cool because of the dark clouds hanging over it, and the sun was still shining on Maogong Mountain.
Dark clouds hung over the square for 100 minutes, and when the performance lasted, Zhao Guangbin, the actor of "Chairman Mao Zedong", took the stage to raise his hand to greet everyone" "Hello comrades!" At that time, not only the thunderous applause from the audience was harvested, but the sky also changed. The wind and clouds gathered, and the light rain fell little by little, and the drizzle fell.
After the end of all the performances, the audience left the venue in an orderly manner, and within a few minutes, the rain poured down in an instant, and the weather outside the venue was still clear, the wind was harmonious. In the face of such a scene, everyone said: "This is not rain, it is the chairman and his old man who saw the gathering of tens of thousands of people to commemorate him, and shed tears of excitement." ”
On June 11, 1995, during the day, the incense candles and candle holders in the Maogongshan Worship Hall were removed. At night, a large group of identical-looking black butterflies rush into the worship hall.
There are more than 2,000 black butterflies, and the scene is very spectacular. These black butterflies fluttered on the candlesticks, high and low, as if in formation.
This scene lasted for 7 consecutive days before the black butterfly reluctantly left the worship hall. For this rare scene, naturalists believe that it is a sign of "abnormal weather", while sensual tourists believe that it is a feat of "butterfly love Maogong".
In addition to these two small stories about Mao Gong Mountain, many commemorative activities related to Chairman Mao Zedong are also held at Mao Gong Mountain every year. There is a report in "Hainan Today" entitled "Remembering the Great Achievements of Great Men" on Mao Gong Mountain Singing "Dongfang Hong" -- A concert to commemorate the 113rd anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong's birth was solemnly held in Mao Gong Shan," which recorded such activities.
On December 26, 2006, the "Hainan MaogongShan Concert and Red Culture Calligraphy and Painting Antique Collection Exhibition" was held at the State-owned Baoguo Farm in Hainan Province under Maogong Mountain.
Chairman Mao Zedong's relatives Wang Jingqing, Liu Songlin, Mao Xiaoqing, and Chairman's personal soldier Zhou Fuming all came to the event and sang "Dongfang Hong" with the staff on stage. The event was jointly organized by various departments and associations to commemorate the 113th anniversary of Chairman Mao Zedong's birth.
On the day of the performance, not only the famous singers Deng Yuhua, Caidan Dolma, Ma Yutao, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou's special actors gathered to perform, but also nearly 30,000 staff of enterprises and institutions, officers and soldiers, and people from all walks of life came to watch the performance.
In addition to the performances that night, the commemorative activities also carried out a number of activities such as "The First Hainan Red Culture Calligraphy and Painting Antique Collection Exhibition", "The Great Man Revolutionary Achievement Patriotic Education Red Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition" and the "First Hainan Maogongshan Red Memory Classic Calligraphy and Painting Antique Collection Expo (Auction)". The activities were rich and colorful, and people from all walks of life actively participated.
The tourists continued to visit, and the chairman's relatives came to see
The present wonder of Maogong Mountain in Hainan, chairman Mao Zedong's appearance in this way, has attracted countless state dignitaries, foreign guests, and envoys stationed in China to visit and pay respects for a while.
The article "Majestic and Spectacular - Maogong Mountain" mentions that people from all walks of life came to Hainan Maogong Mountain to pay respects and visit, and they sighed in the face of this vivid natural landscape of the chairman.
Jin Chunming, a famous professor of the Central Party School, came to Maogong Mountain, saw the natural landscape and sighed: "It is not the elaborate shape of the sculptor, nor is it the painter's Miaoyuan Danqing, nor is it the crystal coffin in the memorial hall, he is not in the capital Tiananmen Square, but in the distant tropical treasure island of Hainan, it is so similar to the god, sighing the ghostly craftsmanship, the place name is Baoguo Farm, backed by the village name Dongfang Hong, although it is a coincidence, it is really interesting." ”
Professor Jin Chunming's evaluation is quite high, which shows that the natural landscape of Maogong Mountain in Hainan is extremely similar to that of the chairman, and there is a coincidental red culture, which is really the "chairman's" trip to Hainan.
In addition, there are many people who give high praise to Hainan Maogong Mountain. Zhang Zhen, former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, said: "It is too much like the chairman, especially the face is more similar. Chairman Mao's daughter-in-law, Shao Hua, said: "It is really a heavenly creation, too similar to my father Mao Zedong." ”
Chairman Mao's grandson, Mao Xinyu, said: "It's like my grandfather is lying on his back on the mountain." And so on. It can be seen that the natural landscape of "Chairman Mao Zedong" in Maogong Mountain has alarmed too many people to come to visit, and the chairman's family has come more frequently.
The article "Maogong Mountain on Hainan Island" also records the affirmation of the natural landscape of Maogong Mountain by the posterity of the chairman. Kong Linghua, Chairman Mao Zedong's son-in-law and Li Min's husband, has visited Maogong Mountain many times, and whenever he sees the natural landscape of "Chairman Mao Zedong," he is very excited, moved to tears, and can no longer suppress his father's thoughts and reverence after seeing the natural landscape.
He has repeatedly expressed a strong desire to invest in the development of tourism projects such as red culture in Maogong Mountain, hoping to make red memory and red culture flourish in Maogong Mountain again.
On July 25, 1993, Chairman Mao Zedong's youngest daughter Li Ne and her husband Wang Jingqing also came to Maogong Mountain to visit the scenery and admire the natural landscape of "Chairman Mao Zedong".
Originally, I just listened to my family, and the natural landscape here is very similar to my father lying on his back on the mountain. When the couple saw this natural landscape in person, Li Ne was very excited, and she found that as everyone said, this natural landscape was really too much like her father. Li Ne said excitedly, "It's too similar! It's so much like... It's kind of like my dad's image. ”
Tourism development is planned, and natural landscapes are rare
As early as the second year of the discovery of Maogong mountain in Hainan, that is, in 1992, the Hainan provincial government organized 42 experts and scholars to come here to conduct field investigation, evaluation and confirmation, which finally confirmed that the natural landscape here is indeed similar to Chairman Mao Zedong, which shows that the Hainan provincial government attaches great importance to the matter of Maogong mountain.
Subsequently, the State Environmental Protection Administration issued Document No. 016 in November of the same year, affirming the natural landscape here and making instructions to strengthen the protection of Maogong Mountain, gradually upgrade it, and actively carry out related activities.
Since then, in order to create the natural landscape of Maogong Mountain in an all-round way, and develop the natural landscape here into a multi-functional international-level tourism holy land integrating tourism, trade, vacation, shopping, entertainment and other aspects, Baoguo Farm has invested a total of 2.5 million yuan and developed a tourism viewing area covering an area of more than 40,000 square meters.
The eastern part of the scenic spot is the "Maogongshan Worship Hall", covering an area of 150 square meters, the building is very characteristic of the Chinese nation, simple and elegant, magnificent atmosphere, and the lobby is placed with a bronze bust of Chairman Mao Zedong, solemn and solemn.
The western part of the scenic spot is the Zhan Yang Platform, which covers an area of 320 square meters and is 5 meters high, imitating the composition scheme of the Tiananmen Tower, combined with exquisite architectural art.

On the north side of the scenic spot, there is also a stone sculpture of Chairman Mao Zedong, which is two meters high and heroic. Finally, there is the central location of the scenic spot, here is a 64-meter-high monument, the monument is towering into the clouds, surrounded by 250 square meters of pavilion promenade, tea house and other characteristic buildings, the buildings are interesting, reasonable layout, people linger.
