On the afternoon of October 13, 2021, I went to the editorial office of "Chaorantai" magazine - Zhucheng Chaorantai Management Office to receive the long-awaited second issue of "Chaorantai" magazine in 2021. In the evening, I cooked a pot of fragrant tea and sat in the slightly dim light and greedily read the passages of text that were soaked with a rich local atmosphere and emitted a light ink fragrance. The thoughts of memories gradually spread, and scenes of the past came to mind.
In 2005, during the autumn rainy season, I left the familiar countryside to work in my uncle's individual auto repair factory to make a living. Dealing with crankshafts, connecting rods, cylinder liners, and pistons all day long, the hard and tedious life is really boring. Once, I found a broken magazine on my uncle's desk. This made me, who has always loved literature and art, feel very happy. The front and back covers of the magazine were gone, and the pages of the magazine were filled with children's art masterpieces. I read it as if I had received the most precious treasure. This broken magazine contains many wonderful articles such as "The Golden Stone Collection of the Tobu Wang Clan", "A Period of Qin Juniper's Experience in Mizhou", "Remembering My Uncle Wang Tongzhao", "The Legend of Wanguanlou", and with clear and realistic pictures, I was firmly attracted by it. The feeling of being mesmerized and falling in love is really indescribable! Later, I gradually learned that this was the "Transcendental Platform" (No. 1, 2005) edited and published by the Zhucheng Local Culture Research Association. It was this broken "Transcendental Platform" that accompanied me through many rainy and windy nights and opened a door between me and the magazine. One day in late spring, my uncle went out to repair a friend's car, and I lifted the elevator to study a broken "Poussin". "Gui Jie, bring you back the magazine", my uncle, who had just returned from work, was full of oil-stained twist flowers and held a copy of the "Transcendental Platform" magazine in his hand, and I happily took it. Oops, the pretty yellow-green cover was stained with oil, and I rubbed it and wiped it with regret, but those affectionate handprints could never be erased. This oil-stained "Chaorantai" (No. 2, 2006) is the second magazine in my collection, which contains many popular works such as "Ren Rixin's Literary Love", "The Talented Li Chengzhong", "Charming Smoke and Rain streams of Wulian Mountain", "Miaoshan Mountain Club in Yugou Town", and many other popular works.
In 2006, Chaorantai magazine was sold and distributed through Xinhua Bookstore. A lover of this magazine, I squeezed a little out of my meager salary and completed the full set of "Detachment" in 2006. In the autumn of that year, I entered the Fuhua Feed Factory in Zhucheng City to work. Since then, the work has been fixed and there have been some spare time. Therefore, I often go to some used bookstores and book stalls to read books, and by the way, I also find my favorite Transcendent Magazine. After many days and countless times of hope, waiting, joy, and excitement, I finally matched all the "Transcendental Platform" magazines before 2007 like a swallow.
In the spring of 2007, I came to the Zhucheng Radio and Television Bureau building to subscribe to a year-round magazine called Transcendental Radio. When I asked for directions, I met Mr. Zou Jinxiang, vice president of the Zhucheng Local Culture Research Association and former director of the Municipal Party History Research Office. In the editorial office, Elder Zou, who was humble and wrote, talked to me for a long time, encouraging me to read more, practice diligently, and strive to write my own things. In the same year, I collected a large number of historical materials and folklore, and after inquiring about the insiders in many ways, I wrote the article "Loyal to the Family for a Long Time, Poetry Books For Generations---- Remembering the Wang Family in the Old Village of Zhucheng City". It recounts the history of the Wang family in Nanlao Village, Yugou Town, Zhucheng City, since the Yuan Dynasty, and anecdotes. Unexpectedly, Li Zengpo, president of the Zhucheng Local Culture Research Association, actually saw my article. This kind elderly man read through my manuscript in his busy schedule, and entrusted people to convey his encouragement and opinion, pointing out the hollow, lengthy, boring, and dull problems of the article itself. Later, after editing and polishing this article, I formed a short article "Xi'an Night Talk". It tells the history and history of Xi'an Village in Yugou Town, and the old humanities. This article was published in the first issue of Transcendental Station magazine in 2008. Later, I used my spare time to search for old classics and write many small articles such as folk tales such as "The Legend of Sun Zhen", "Historical Village --- Renli", "Zhang Wen and Lu Gongguan Yutai" and so on. These works bear witness to the wind and rain I look around and the sweat of walking under the lamp.
Spring wind and rain, moisturizing things silent; peach and plum are speechless, and the fruits are full of branches. In this land where Yu Shun cultivated and Su Zi Yongyin was cultivated, Chaorantai magazine spread the Donglu civilization without complaint and regret, nourished the hearts of thousands of people in various cities, and showed the style of the sons and daughters of Longcheng. Under the nourishment and influence of the "Transcendent Platform" magazine and the local culture of Zhucheng Township, the peasant teenager who had just walked out of the campus and wandered at the crossroads of life did not have a drunken fan and a wandering skeleton, but had his own vast world and a pure land of life. Through "Chaorantai" magazine, I became familiar with the landscapes and rivers of Zhucheng and the literary style of the villagers, broadened my horizons, and straightened out my life path; through "Chaorantai" magazine, I got to know Qiu Jiagan, Zhong Qiang, Gu Shuai, Wang Zhongwei and many other teachers and friends who loved local culture, and I benefited me endlessly from their sincere and sincere help many times. All this is due to this thin "Transcendental Platform". And I also grew up from an ordinary young reader, and with the support of the leaders and the help of my colleagues, I became one of the editors and reviewers of this magazine and participated in the editorial work of "Transcendental Station" magazine. It has also made a small contribution of its own to the cultural publicity of Zhucheng.
May our "Chaorantai" magazine become better and better, and may our local cultural research cause in Zhucheng become more and more prosperous!!
