At about 8 o'clock, the "Citizen Observation Group" set off from Jiao, and the first stop was to inspect the ruins of the legend of the Cowherd Weaver Girl. Yang Tianliang, an expert in the literature and history of Xiuwu County, said that shangzuka is in Xiuwu County and is a county-level cultural relics protection unit. According to Daoguang's Nineteenth Year Chronicle of Xiuwu County, "The Shang Tomb was in the east of the county, and the King of Wu cut down the merchants, and his descendants came and died and were buried here." It can be described as the first martyrs' cemetery in China. Shangzuka is related to Wang Hai, the prototype of Niulang. Modern archaeology proves that there are a large number of sites of the pre-Shang culture in Xiuwu, and the Shangzuka is one of them. Above stands sculptures of King Wu of Zhou and Jiang Ziya.

Wang Lijiang, vice chairman of the Jiao Wen Association, believes that it is necessary to let Dong Yong's filial piety take root and blossom in every family, let the love story of the seven fairies impress every young person, widely disseminate the story of Dong Yong's hometown, and build the intangible cultural heritage around Xiao Dong into a characteristic highlight of global tourism. Let culture be better inherited, and let culture form an industry.

Yang Jianqi, a veteran media person, suggested that the operational strategy of the Dong Yongxiao Cultural Festival should pay attention to three combinations: the combination of far and near, the combination of fast and slow, and the combination of high and low. We should make a big article in a big pattern and a big heart and a big culture. Dong Yongxiao culture can be taken as the main body, excavating, combing, inventorying, and integrating all elements of Jiaozuo's local filial piety culture, such as: Sima Hometown Filial Piety Culture, Xu Heng Filial Piety Culture, and Yang's Filial Piety Culture, extending to the contemporary filial piety culture Xie Yanxin, the most beautiful family in the country, etc., to make the Huaichuan Filial Piety Cultural Festival. Make the culture of filial piety into "great filial piety" and finally realize the "four unifications": one is the unity of poetry and far away, the second is the unity of culture and capital and industry, the third is the unity of the government and the people, and the fourth is the unity of tradition and reality, reality and the future. We must be tolerant and strive to establish a national Dongyong Cultural Research Organization, and the five national intangible cultural heritage Dongyong Legend Cities are all member units, and the "China Dongyong Cultural Festival" is held in turn every year. At the same time, folk culture seminars, economic development forums, intangible cultural heritage evenings and intangible cultural exchange meetings are held.

Through this activity, many people have a lot of feelings and benefit a lot. Qiao Yanzhang said that the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, the legendary love story is certainly praised, but more importantly, the inheritance of the traditional filial piety culture of the Chinese nation. Xiaodong Township has held seven "Filial Piety Cultural Festivals", and it is precisely because of the inheritance of this filial piety culture from generation to generation. Xiao Dong's people's style is simple, the family is harmonious and united, and respecting the elderly and loving the young has become a common practice. It shows that Wuzhi has made great efforts in the construction of beautiful villages and the development of tourism industry, and has achieved many results. There is a way: a hundred flowers and plums as the head, a hundred good filial piety as the first. It is suggested that in the next step of work, more efforts should be made on the breadth and depth of the "Legend of Dong Yong".

"When I was a child, I had a twenty-four filial piety map at home, and at that time I thought that twenty-four filial piety was very remarkable. After hearing about the touching deeds of Xiaodongxiang's "Ten Great Filial Pieties and Ten Moral Models", the commendation party held showed that Xiaodongxiang attached great importance to cultural inheritance. Entrepreneur Gao Shunwan praised.

Hou Hongxia of the Jiaozuo Municipal Government Foreign Propaganda Office participated in the whole event. She had an in-depth exchange of understanding of global tourism. What is Global Travel? She thought the itinerary for the event was good. Friends in Jiaozuo's cultural circles made a relatively successful attempt together. Global tourism is to connect multiple scattered attractions with common themes, listen to the tour guides explain one story after another, form a complete and comprehensive understanding, so that each attraction forms an organic whole, supporting each other and developing together. This approach can produce patterns that are much better than siloed patterns. This one-day activity to explore the footprints of Niu Lang and Dong Yong is very powerful, it is a typical global travel attempt, and it is also a very fashionable global cultural tourism exploration. Through a large Xiyuan Village where the Seven Fairies are located, Fu Yuanwai's Fu Village, and the Dafan Village Huaihu Temple where the two were betrothed, the romantic story chain of Dong Yong and Zhang Qijie was very completely interpreted by tourists. Worth recommending!

Liu Zonghua, a deputy to the Jiaozuo Municipal People's Congress, suggested that dong Yong's hometown should be planned first, which can be used as a cultural tourism project for comprehensive development and three-dimensional packaging.

Zhang Jie, a tourism expert, feels that the development of Dong Yong's hometown can learn from the Yongji Pushou Temple where "The Tale of the West Chamber" took place, the story of "Peacock Southeast Flying", the construction of Dong Yong Park in Xiaogan, Hunan, and the iconic love sculpture of "Romeo and Juliet" in Italy.

 Build filial piety culture into a Chinese brand

Listen to the role models around you and witness the power of filial piety. That night, the Xiaodong Village Cultural Compound became a boiling ocean. The 7th Dong Yong Hometown "Ten Filial Pieties Moral Models" Award Ceremony was held solemnly, and 10 "Ten Filial Pieties" and 10 "Moral Models" were selected from 20 villages in the township and commended them. Leaders of relevant departments in Jiaozuo City and relevant leaders of Wuzhi County watched together with hundreds of people.

The awards ceremony was very exciting and the climax was continuous. Kindergarten children performed the dance "Chinese Filial Piety". The poetry recitation "Dong Yong's Hometown My Hometown" evoked people's strong homesickness. Sun Jucai, a non-hereditary inheritor of Xiaodong Village, shared their story with the intangible cultural heritage. Feng Baozhong, chairman of the Wuzhi County Folk Writers Association, performed "XiaodongXiang's Two Thousand Years of Filial Piety Remains" for everyone. The beautiful song "The Legend of Dong Yong" was composed by Li Baoping, a member of the Henan Music Association and vice chairman of the Wuzhi County Musicians Association, and composed and sung by Xu Zhigang, deputy secretary general of the Wuzhi County Musicians Association.

Gao Yanhong said that we xiaodongxiang people have a good habit of singing, so this time we specially chorused a chorus, and everyone expressed their gratitude to the party, vowed to follow the party, and always listen to the party's voice. Welcome friends into the vast world of our little Dong, and also sing a song dedicated to the party and to parents. We are confident that Xiaodong will be built into a hometown of filial piety and a holy place of love.

Wang Bo, director of Jiaozuo City Cultural Center and director of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, felt that the evening was full of positive energy and was a high-level evening party that would be broadcast in Jiaozuo People's Cultural Supermarket for more people to see.

"We Jiaozuo's cultural people have the responsibility, responsibility, and obligation to plan Xiao Dong's hometown well and build it well." Expert Dong Shikun said. "Go down the main line of filial piety." Grasp the main line of filial piety culture, go down well, push down, and build a brand of Wuzhi, a brand of Jiaozuo, and a brand of China. Expert Cao Huan's suggestion has become the common voice of people.
