Tell the red story
In the early summer of 1924, the willows on the shores of Wenying Lake were flicked, and Gao Junyu, who returned to Taiyuan, was pleasantly surprised to find that the Taiyuan Socialist Youth League, which had been tested by revolutionary struggle, had developed from the original regimental group into a group of 9 regiment branches and more than 60 league members, and had become the main leading force of the youth movement and the workers' movement in Shanxi, accumulated rich experience in organizing and leading the student movement and the workers' movement, and gradually established the belief in Marxism-Leninism in practice. All these have laid a solid foundation for the creation of local party organizations of the CPC. Gao Junyu secretly lived in his alma mater, the Youth Society, and got in touch with Li Yutang, the only alternate party member in Shanxi recognized by the Beijing district party committee, and began to work. On behalf of the Beijing District Party Committee, he first informed Li Yutang to become a full party member. Then, together with He Chang, Li Yutang and Pan Enpu as the leaders of the Taiyuan Youth League Prefectural Committee, the Taiyuan District Over-Aged League Members were transferred from the League to the Party Qualification Review Committee, and all the league members aged 25 and above were screened and queued. In accordance with the regulations, he held individual talks and organizational inspections with Pan Enpu, secretary of the Youth League Prefectural Committee, Hou Shimin, secretary of the Youth League Branch, and Zhang Shuping, director of the Organization Department of the Youth League Prefectural Committee, who was over 25 years old, and then introduced them from the Regiment to the Party. At the same time, Zhang Yulin, who was only 17 years old but began to hold the leading position of the regimental prefectural committee in 1922, was also absorbed into the party. According to the regulations, the waiting period for the four people is half a year. After completing the formalities for the five people to join the party or be regularized, the conditions for creating a local party organization in Taiyuan of the CPC have been met.
"Always follow the party, never betray the party, and fight for communism all your life..." At the end of May 1924, at the provincial first middle school, Gao Junyu, Li Yutang, and Zhang Shuping sat around the table, chanting quietly and firmly, the young face flushed with excitement, and the clenched fists revealed the surging of the heart. Because they know that the ancient land of the Three Jins will be reborn at this moment, and the earliest local party organization of the CPC in Shanxi, the Taiyuan Group of the CPC, has been established! This was the first local party organization of the Communist Party of China in Shanxi, and one of the earlier local party organizations established in the northern region after Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, Leting, Shanhaiguan, Anping, Zhangjiakou, Shijiazhuang, Kaifeng, Jinan, Harbin and other towns (later renamed the Taiyuan Branch of the Communist Party of China). The group was headed by Li Yutang, and the members were Pan Enpu, Hou Shimin, Zhang Shuping, and Zhang Yulin. In the autumn of the same year, Peng Zhen, Ji Tingzi and other youth league members became party members.
After the establishment of the Taiyuan branch of the CPC, Zhang Shuping served as the secretary of the branch, Peng Zhen, Ji Tingzi and others were responsible for other work, and the branch organ was set up in the provincial first middle school, that is, the memorial hall of Peng Zhen's life and the former site of the Taiyuan branch of the CPC on the shore of Wenying Lake today. The birth of the Taiyuan Party organization of the CPC is of epoch-making significance in the history of Shanxi, and the revolutionary struggle of the people of Shanxi has since had a strong core of leadership.
Look for the red mark
Wenying Park is located in the center of Taiyuan near Wuyi Square, the garden is full of flowers, the lakeside blue waves, is a habitat for adults, is a children's play park. The name of the park comes from Wen Ying, the daughter of Duke Mu of Qin and the wife of Duke Wen of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the custom at that time, a woman who married a monarch had the first word of the title followed her husband's nickname, and the second word was her surname, which was the origin of the name "Wen Wei".
This girl's life is very legendary. At that time, the Duke of Jin was faint, and the princes of the State of Jin fled one after another, first Gongzi Yiwu fled to the Qin State to join his sister Mu Ji, the wife of The Duke of Qin, and became the monarch with the help of Mu Ji, known as the Duke hui of Jin. After Duke Hui of Jin returned to China, he sent his son Gongzi Yuan to the Qin State as a hostage. In order to win over Duke Hui of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin married his daughter to Gongzi Yuan. Later, Gongzi Yuan fled back to the Jin Dynasty and took the throne, that is, the Duke of Jinhuai. Although Gongzi Yuan became the monarch, Gongzi Zhong'er was still famous, and there were still many people who supported him, and In order to eliminate the troubles, Duke Huai of Jin pursued and killed Zhong'er everywhere. Heavy ears were helpless, so they had to flee to the Qin Kingdom for help. In order to win him over, Duke Mu of Qin remarried the daughter who had already married Gongzi Yuan to Zhong'er. Although Zhong'er was reluctant in his heart, he had to agree to it for the sake of his political future.
This is a political marriage, Wen Wei is still married for the second time, so at first Zhong'er did not like her. On the wedding night, I wanted to give her a dismount. Wen Wei washed her hands with water for Heavy Ear, and Heavy Ear not only did not look at her squarely, but also waved her away like a summoner. Wen Wei was not polite, and directly threw it together with the water belt basin, and asked the heavy ear: "Qin and Jin are both big countries that rival each other, why do you look down on me?" After listening to it, knowing that Wen Wei was strong, he did not dare to be sloppy any longer, so he quickly took off his shirt and bowed down to express his apologies. Wen Weicai turned from anger to joy, officially became the lady of heavy ears, and later gave a lot of help on the road of becoming a Jin Wengong.
The temple dedicated to The Duke Wen of Jin was first built in the area of Wenying Lake. This small lake, according to legend, was composed of a drop of homesickness tears that followed The Heavy Ear to the Jin Dynasty, and later generations named "Ying" next to "Yin" as Wenying Lake to commemorate this princess of the Qin Kingdom with a tortuous fate. At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, after Emperor Taizong of Song burned Jinyang City, in the seventh year of taiping revival (982), a new city was built in the town of Tangming in the north of Jinyang City, and the Haizi side where Wenying Lake was located was part of the moat at that time. After the expansion of Taiyuan in the early Ming Dynasty, Wenying Lake happened to be located in the southeast of Fucheng, and was in the "Sunda" position from the perspective of Bagua, so it was called Xunshui. Because of the beautiful scenery, "Sunda Shisha Wave" is called "Eight Views of Ancient Taiyuan" together with "Bowei Red Leaves, Lieshi Cold Spring, Fenhe Late Crossing, Tianmen Snow, Tutang Strange Cypress, Twin Towers Lingxiao, and Xishan Diecui".
For many years, Wenying Lake has always witnessed the ups and downs, and Wenying Lake has always reflected the Danxia in the city. In March 1950, the First People's Congress of Shanxi Province was held in the Auditorium of Wenying Park, and the meeting decided to build a memorial tower for revolutionary martyrs in the park. In 1995, the Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Tower was named the Patriotic Education Base of Shanxi Province by the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. In 2009, the park by Wenying Lake was renamed Wenying Park. Today, the historical sites in the park also include the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, the Glass Pagoda, the Zhuangyuan Bridge, the Chongde LuTai, and the only wooden structure in China. Of course, the most beautiful scenery is this Wenying Lake. When you gaze, the lake still reflects the figure of the provincial one; when you lean over, the waves of light seem to tell the story of heroes and children.
