Editor's Note:
Jinan, one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization, is the first batch of historical and cultural cities announced by the state. The oldest stone pagoda in China, the Sui Dynasty Liubu Four-Gate Pagoda, and the Lingyan Temple, known as the "first sculpture in the sea", have stood silently on this land for thousands of years. Jinan has given birth to many famous figures in Chinese history: the famous emperor Da Shun, the divine doctor Bian Que, the famous general Qin Qiong, the famous Xiangfang Xuanling... Famous poets Li Bai, Du Fu, Huang Tingjian, lyricists Li Qingzhao and Xin Shuyi, famous novelist Liu Hu, modern literary heroes Lao She, etc. have all lived and worked in Jinan, so they have the good reputation of "the right side of the sea, this pavilion is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan".
Jinan, not only the people are outstanding, but also the talent of the spirit, beautiful scenery, many springs, 72 springs in the city, especially Baotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, Pearl Spring, Wulongtan four major springs have long been famous, since ancient times enjoy the reputation of "family spring water, household weeping willow". The peaks of the Thousand Buddha Mountain are beautiful and guard the southern boundary; daming lake moisturizes silently, moisturizing the northern city. And "four sides of lotus flowers, three sides of willows, a city of mountains and half a city lake" has also become a unique scenery of Jinan.
Jinan, in the long history of more than 4,000 years, has left many ancient buildings, thousand-year-old trees, characteristic famous foods, famous bridge sections, strange anecdotes, and timeless allusions.
Jinan, it is worth tracing the source, it is worth revisiting, it is worth re-writing. From now on, the public network Jinan Station launched a human geography news column - "City · Things", which outlines the back of Jinan in reality, tells the impression of Jinan in the past, and records Jinan and falls in love with Jinan between the intersection of history, present and future.
Public network poster news reporter Zhao Yechao reported from Jinan

On May 20 this year, in Liuqiaoyu Village, Yanzhuang Street, Gangcheng District, Jinan City, newlyweds Wang Qun and Xu Tenghui came to the "Happy Forest" in the village and planted six oil apricot trees that symbolize "prosperity and happiness". In recent years, Liuqiaoyu Village has innovated to carry out the activity of "planting trees when there is a happy event at home", and all those in the village who have betrothed relatives, married, Tim Ding, housewarming, birthdays, etc., as long as there are happy events in the family, many people will come to the "happy event forest" in the village to plant trees.
Planting trees in the "Happy Forest" has become a new trend in the village to do happy events
Who has a happy event, after a simple operation at home, they will go to the "Happy Forest" to plant 6 oil apricot trees, which means a happy life, planting pine trees for birthdays and birthdays, which means health and longevity, effectively resisting bad habits such as big operations and extravagance and waste, and has been strongly supported by villagers.

No, on May 19 this year, Wang Qun and Xu Tenghui entered the marriage hall, and after the two simply held a wedding, on May 20, Wang Qun planted his love tree as he wished. "What is planted is a wish to make our love grow like a small tree." Wang Qun said that he would plant a growth tree for the baby later. Xu Tenghui, as a "liuqiao son-in-law", is very supportive of "planting trees when there are happy events in the family", "what is planted is a tree of love and a tree of happiness, and it is particularly meaningful to come back often in the future." ”
This year, a total of 8 families in Liuqiaoyu Village participated in the activity of "planting trees when there is a happy event at home", a total of 48 trees were planted, and each tree was tied with a red cloth strip carrying wishes
What is moved is "extravagance and waste", and what is planted is "green water and green mountains"
At the beginning of 2018, in order to change the bad habit of talking about pomp and pageantry and magnanimity in Liuqiaoyu Village in the past, Li Yongqi, as the secretary of the village branch and the director of the village committee, thought of a good way, "Combining tree planting and greening with changing customs and customs, is it not a double win with one stone." Therefore, the village committee uniformly delineated the site, uniformly provided saplings, unified management and protection, guided the villagers to do a simple job, and actively participated in afforestation activities.
At present, there are more than 300 trees planted in the "Happy Forest", and after more than three years of operation, the first almond trees have begun to bear fruit, and the villagers have begun to taste the sweetness. "In the past, when getting married and doing a lot of work, in the end, only 'photos' were left, and the 'tree' left everyone with good thoughts and memories." Li Yongqi said that now the "Happy Forest" is lush and has become a beautiful landscape in the village, which not only improves the local ecological environment, but also allows the villagers to practice the development concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" with practical actions.
The village newspaper "New Willow Bridge" has let the new fashion blow into the hearts of the villagers
Liuqiaoyu Village "New Liuqiao" newspaper was founded in February 2020, published once a month, covering the leadership of party building, rural culture, grass-roots governance, civilized village style, good deeds, villagers' style and other sections, of which the most respected by the villagers is the newspaper to publish some villagers' brilliant homes, "there are happy things to plant trees" advanced deeds, becoming a platform for villagers to show their good image.
It is understood that whenever any villager's family has a happy event, under the witness of the village committee, one by one, they go to the "Happy Forest" to plant trees, and take pictures and accompany the text to be published in "New LiuQiao", which has become a new "capital" for the villagers to show off to each other. In addition, Liuqiaoyu Village has always had a good tradition of selecting excellent typicals, and the selection of good daughters-in-law and good mothers-in-law in the village has lasted for more than 20 years, and through the extensive publicity of excellent typicals in the village newspaper, it has truly achieved the effect of publicizing one and driving a piece. With the release of each issue of a new newspaper, the villagers rushed to read it, and "New Willow Bridge" became a popular propaganda position for the common people.
