"Although in my death there are sons and sons; sons and grandchildren; sons and sons, sons and grandchildren; children and grandchildren; children and grandchildren are infinitely poor, and the mountains do not increase, so why is it bitter and not peaceful?"
Through the thousand years of history, into the "Liezi Tang Qing", only to see the perseverance of the Foolish Gong: Taihang King's House, Han Yin Blocked; Ji Qi Bohai, shouldering the stone burden; legendary through the ages, people will win the heavens!
The mountains that Yu Gong moved were Taihang and Wangwu Ershan. Bounded by the Qin River, taihang Mountain to the east of the river, Zhongtiao Mountain to the west, and Wangwu Mountain, which runs between Yangcheng, Yuanqu and Henan Province in Shanxi, is an important branch of Zhongtiao Mountain, yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, is facing these two mountains.
As the birthplace of the story of Yugong, as the descendants of Yugong, Yangcheng people seem to have the spiritual quality of "self-improvement and perseverance" in their bones: In ancient times, the Yangcheng merchant gang that was transported to the world relied on people to carry horses, broke through the barrier of the second mountain of the Taihang Wangwu, and set out from various mountain passes to spread the "concept of integrity" in the world; during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the literary style was flourishing, and talents emerged, creating a good story of "ten people in the second year of Shunzhi and ten people in the third year of Shunzhi"; during the War of Resistance, as the main battlefield in the south of Shanxi, The people of Yangcheng insisted on the various mountain passes of the Taihang King's House, so that the Japanese Kou could not move forward...
The "Yugong" of Yangcheng has been represented by people, spanning history, and the middle is connected by the same link - the "Yugong Spirit".
Yu Gong's hometown is in Yangcheng
The fable of Yugong moving mountains was first found in the Liezi Tang Qian, which records: "Taihang, Wangwu Ershan... Ben is in the south of Jizhou and north of Heyang. The Fool of the North Mountain, aged ninety, lives facing the mountain. The story takes yugong of the north mountain as the protagonist, and yugong wants to go out of the mountain, "referring to the south of Henan, reaching Hanyin", and there is no way out unless the mountain is moved.
So, where is Wangwu Mountain? Where is the hometown of the Fool?
Over the years, Yangcheng County has organized experts and scholars to form a strong research group to conduct field investigations and visits, consult a large number of literature, ancient books and maps, and the current authoritative maps of the country, go deep into the southern mountainous areas to conduct rural surveys, analyze and compare, excavate and sort out, and scientifically demonstrate from multiple angles such as ancient mythology, historical evolution, geological landform, cultural inheritance, and birthplace conditions, sort out the relationship between Taihang and Wangwu Ershan and Yangcheng, and systematically sort out the veins of Yugong culture and Yugong spirit.
--Wangwu Mountain, is a mountain range with a total area of more than 3,400 square kilometers. From the west of The Alexandre and The Zhongtiao Mountains are connected, the East qinhe River and taihang are facing each other, the north is bounded by the Meihe River in Qinshui County, and the yellow river section of Jiyuan City is the boundary in the south, and its main ridge is all in the territory of Yangcheng, mainly composed of Yingshan Mountain, Yunmeng Mountain, Aobei Mountain, Xiaojianshan, Xincheng Mountain, DaleLing, Wudou Peak, Lingshan Mountain, Pillar Mountain, Duanshan Mountain, Sanpan Mountain, Dalingtou and other peaks, and 61% of Wangwu Mountain is in Yangcheng.
- Yangcheng County, with a land area of 1968 square kilometers. To the east of the Qin River is the Taihang Mountain, to the west of the Qin River is the Wangwu Mountain, and the place where Taihang and Wangwu are surrounded is Yangcheng. Among them, about 90% of the county's area is on Wangwu Mountain, about 10% of the area is on the Taihang Mountain, Yangcheng County is in the north of Ershan, and access to southern Henan is blocked by Ershan.
"It is precisely because there is no way out in the embrace that the story of 'foolishness moving mountains' has been born." Wang Jiasheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Yangcheng County, said they consulted dozens of topographic maps published by the state in different eras, all of which clearly marked the direction of the mountains of Wangwu Mountain in Yangcheng.
The southern mountainous area of Yangcheng is one of the core areas for the development of prehistoric Chinese national civilization, and various myths and legends related to Yugong Moving Mountain have been passed down by word of mouth among the local people of Yangcheng for thousands of years, and have been listed as provincial intangible cultural heritage in 2009.

"Yugong Spirit Yao Tai Xing" innovative class display.
In the area of Shijianzhuang in Yangcheng, there is the famous "Yugong Valley" landscape system, and there are still Huangtangyuan, Yugongdong, Doutou Mountain, Dashimen, Xiaoshimen, Panzigui, Jiqi Mountain, Quao'e Peak, etc., which coincide with the actual scenes related to the story of Yugong Moving Mountain recorded in "Liezi Tangwen".
That is to say, Yangcheng, which is the birthplace of the story of Yugong moving mountains, should be the real hometown of Yugong.
In addition, with the continuous deepening of archaeological research, the Jiecheng Mountain in Wangwu Mountain has been restored to the original appearance of "ancient Kunlun", becoming the origin of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, which is the opening of Pangu, the supplementation of heaven by Nuwa, the painting of Fuxi, and the prayer of Shang Tang... The most classic myths and legends are gathered in Yangcheng, and there are real scenes corresponding to them, which is very legendary and exploratory.
The spirit of Foolishness is passed down from generation to generation
In June 2020, the Yangcheng County Party Committee and County Government announced that Nanyuan Village in Henghe Town, the birthplace of the story of Yugong Moving Mountain, would be renamed "Yugong Village"; the section from the southern entrance of Yangcheng to Yangli Avenue of Yangji Expressway would be named "Yugong Avenue"; and Yujia Square, the core square of Yangcheng County, would be officially renamed "Yugong Square"...
To tell the story of Yugong well and carry forward the spirit of Yugong, the county party committee and county government have been polishing the golden signboard of "Yugong's hometown is in Yangcheng". As the birthplace of the story of Yugong, as a descendant of Yugong, Yangcheng people seem to have the spiritual quality of "self-improvement and perseverance" in their bones.
Yangcheng is located at the junction of Taihang, Taiyue and Zhongtiao Mountains, and is a place of "nine droughts in ten years". Folk legend "White Mulberry Mountain, Bald Mountain, a dry river ditch in front of the village, nine years of drought in ten years, dry soil seedlings dry water tank" folk song.
The people of Yangcheng, who have been living in yangcheng for generations, have been fighting indomitably against the harsh natural environment. People look forward to water, find water, and name the villages that have lived for generations such as "Water Village" and "Meiquan".
A woodcut print of the spirit of a drop of water.
In 1965, inspired by the spirit of Yugong, the party members and cadres of the Baisang Township Brigade took the lead of the local masses, and with their diligent hands, it lasted more than 6 months, one hammer and one pickaxe chiseled through the stone cliff, and a 1100-meter-long diversion canal was built on the cliff waist, so that a small mountain spring with a thick index finger in Xiyugou climbed over the mountain and climbed the mountain, flowing into a reservoir with a water capacity of 5,000 square meters, and by 1973, 12 pools had been built continuously. The water storage capacity reached 78,000 cubic meters, the development of water irrigation land was 560 mu, and the grain yield per mu increased from 200 jin to more than 800 jin, ending the history of "relying on the sky to eat" and creating the experience of "one drop of water".
Coincidentally, in Yinhe Village, Henghe Town, Yangcheng County, the mountain villages are sparse, the people are small and the culture is low, the grain is planted in the stone, the money is spent on relief, and the cadres are not good.
In 1983, Zhao Suoying was elected as the village chief by the people of Yinhe Village, determined to change the poverty and backward situation in the mountainous areas.
If you want to be rich in the mountains, you have to build roads first. Zhao Suo was determined to sell the family's only old car as a starting capital; he could not afford to hire a technician, so he measured it himself with three wooden poles and a pair of eyes. Kung Fu pays off. In the past 18 years, under his hard work, this small mountain village with only more than 80 people and more than 20 laborers has successively built a wall-mounted road from the main village to 11 natural villages. It has raised 2.56 million yuan to build a total of 22 kilometers of rural roads, exit roads and tourist roads.
As the hometown of Yugong, there are too many "Yugong stories" in Yangcheng, and too many "Yugong": Zhang Pengfei, a good secretary who benefits the villagers in the village, He Hulin, who created the "Hengshao Miracle" with blood and sweat... Generations of Yangcheng people have continued to write magnificent poems of Taihang's children with struggle, responsibility, dedication and loyalty, and carried forward the spirit of contemporary foolishness!
Contemporary fools are on a new path
In the late autumn, walking into the production workshop of Shanxi Yangtai Longyan Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yangtai Longyan"), accompanied by the uniform speed of the conveyor belt, the automatic operation of the machine, and the pieces of cadmium telluride power generation glass are constantly coming off the line.
"You see, the degree of automation on our production line is already relatively high." Duan Yuejun, general manager of the company, introduced while walking.
Through the glass vitrines, you can see a huge production workshop, and only a few people are operating in front of the machine.
Yangtai Longyan production base.
According to reports, cadmium telluride film is currently the world's most advanced semiconductor compound thin film photovoltaic power generation technology, its thickness is thinner, while in the early morning, evening and other low-light conditions, power generation performance is stronger, made into a glass curtain wall of the building, not only thermal insulation is beautiful, but also active power generation.
Integrating cadmium telluride thin-film solar module research and development, production, photovoltaic power generation system construction and application and BIPV green building and other all-round new energy technology services, it can be said that Yangtai Longyan is a solid high-tech enterprise.
"Headquartered in Hangzhou, why is the branch settled in Yangcheng, the technology content is so high, how to ensure talents?"
"Speaking of which, I was really touched." Duan Yuejun recalled that Yangtai Longyan is an emerging technology industry project introduced by Yangcheng County in 2019, in order to ensure that the enterprise can start construction quickly after landing, as early as two years ago, the county party committee and county government organized more than 50 local personnel with employment intentions to go to Hangzhou Headquarters for special post training, and the logistics support was all undertaken by the county party committee and county government.
"It is to establish the service concept of 'on call, not to be called, thoughtful to serve, and to do what is said', and vigorously create a 'pro' and 'clean' government-business relationship."

Engrave the unswerving faith of foolishness in the heart, show the momentum, vigor and hard work of opening the way in every mountain, emancipate the mind, benchmark first-class, and dare to do it. Adapting to the new situation and seizing new opportunities, this year, Yangcheng aims at the "ten strategic positioning", deepens the "three-four-five" development layout, and is committed to a new development pattern.

……
Niu Chen, deputy secretary of the Yangcheng County Party Committee and county magistrate, said that in the next step, Yangcheng County will focus on the annual target tasks, focus on investment attraction, and further expand the advantages of resources, industries and parks.
High-quality transformation and development is a winding "road to catch up with the examination", a "road of entrepreneurship" of hard struggle, and a "road of building dreams" that the masses are looking forward to. In Yangcheng, the majority of party members and cadres in the county continue to inherit and practice the spirit of foolishness, take advantage of the momentum for a long time, and strive on the road of high-quality transformation and development.
