Out of Guangzhou to the northwest, about 130 kilometers, 2 hours by car, to a dazzling mountain city, she is located in the mountains surrounded, the territory of the big clouds and mist mountains between the perennial clouds floating, named beautiful cloud floating, this is the origin of today's Yunfu City place name.
Our ancient ancestors have long flourished here, and this somewhat poetic place name is not derived from today, in fact, it appeared as early as the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the people here sang poems and swords to walk the world, out of the clouds, into the Central Plains, to Chang'an, it can be seen that romance does not distinguish between time and place.
Yunfu is located in the west of Guangdong, is the western gate of the province, connecting the great southwest, is the land passage of the Maritime Silk Road, tracing the west river to Wuzhou, a quaint city in Lingnan, once the provincial capital of Guangxi, mr. Zhongshan retired there to direct the second revolution. Yunfu City administers Yuncheng and Yun'an Districts, Xinxing and Yunnan Counties, and Luoding City at the county level, with a permanent population of 3 million.
This is a mountain city, but also a small city, she does not have the hustle and bustle of those second- and third-tier cities that promise gdp, everywhere is the mess of construction sites, the figures rushing through the street market, but it is a little more elegant and leisurely, and the pedestrians and children seen are calm. Strolling to the downtown People's Square, its spacious and idyllic is shocking, and the office buildings of several sets of municipal people's government teams are located on the hillside, where citizens can freely enter and exit, leisure and fun, and are the forerunners of the earliest open government in China.
The small city of Yunfu is an ecological city, and she has always been like the beautiful person in the "lighting place", giving you endless imagination: rich food, the prosperity of Canton, and the exquisite and amorous children of Yunfu. Stay here quietly, do not feel the wind and clouds, and in the blink of an eye it is autumn again. After I lived here for many years, once, looking down at the shadow of the mountain city under the falling light, I suddenly had a strong impulse to make a comeback, when marrying yunfu women, because of their confident and delicate mood, my aesthetic brain was opened, and the small city was not an interesting place for an interesting soul after life was tired? Tourists who have come to Yunfu are most like this leisure here.
Yunfu is a place of spiritual excellence, the ancient ruins of Modao Mountain, Panlong Tianhu, Zhanggong Temple, Guo'en Temple, Tianlu Mountain Hot Spring, Reclining Buddha Temple, Lingnan ancient houses scattered around the world, Lixue villages, Zen culture, etc., have long been famous in the world, and tourists are endless.
Yunfu's celebrities are also world-class business cards: Liuzu Huineng, who founded Southern Zen Buddhism and was the first person to sinicize Buddhism, Chairman Mao listed him and Sun Yat-sen as one of the two Cantonese people with the greatest influence on China, and he left the Tantra Sutra for the Yunfu people and the zen culture for the Chinese and the world. He said, "The lower man has the upper wisdom," a great Buddhist thinker who was illiterate. His position in the introduction of Buddhism to China is comparable to that of Martin Luther in the modern Christian Reformation.
Chen Xuan, a Ming Dynasty general who resisted the Ming Dynasty, entered Korea during the Ming Dynasty and led an army to defeat the Japanese invasion of Korea as an important general of the Sino-Korean coalition army, and today, Koreans still commemorate him.
Deng Fa, one of the organizers of the provincial and Hong Kong strike and the Guangzhou uprising, an outstanding leader of the Chinese labor movement, a participant in the Long March, a proletarian revolutionary, and a famous "Four-Eight Martyrs", his former residence is in the south of the city, there is deng Fa Memorial Middle School named after him, and the school name inscribed by Comrade Yang Shangkun.
Cai Tingkai, the commander-in-chief of the Nineteenth Route Army, famous at home and abroad in the Battle of Songhu, he led his sons and soldiers to fight in blood, a "lost old mother", the whole army heroically killed the enemy, for the Chinese people forever commemorated.
There are also some many Yunfu revolutionary volunteers and martyrs who are associated with The revolutionary activities of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in china's modern history, especially those of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who visited their deeds in their hometown, and I can't help but sigh: This is a group of young people who shed blood and sacrificed their lives to save China, I didn't know them before coming to Yunfu, and the national history textbooks can't carry their names and deeds one by one, but they are good sons and daughters of Yunfu, they are good sons and daughters of China, and their british names are closely linked to the Huanghuagang Uprising, the Shamian Massacre, and the Guangzhou Uprising. We owe it to those who came before us and must not forget them, who are the cornerstones of the edifice of the Republic.
Stroll through the streets and alleys of Yunfu, drive to the surrounding cities and villages, stand on the bank of the Xijiang River, and deeply feel the thick humanistic atmosphere of this small city everywhere you go. At that time, Song Zhi asked " The feelings of homesickness are more timid, and I don't dare to ask people", that is, I embarked on the return journey from Yunfu Luoding. The anti-war faction Hu Yi was also relegated to Xinzhou (present-day Xinxing County), and his resentment of the corruption and non-resistance of the Southern Song court still seems to be echoed to this day.
Today's Yunfu is forging ahead along the road of ecological priority in the new era, and it has become a glorious choice to develop eastward and integrate into the Greater Bay Area. The tranquility of this small city will be even more precious and desirable in the embrace of the Greater Bay Area.
I love where the floating clouds arise, no matter how far ahead; the clouds, don't forget me!
