As early as 20 years ago, that is, in the late 1980s, there was a growing call for my hometown to get rid of poverty and become rich. Many towns and villages want to engage in economic projects, poverty alleviation projects or achievements projects, and send special letters to local people who participate in revolutionary work inside and outside the county. The initial requirements are: having money, power, position and wisdom-we must do something good for our hometown to get rid of poverty and become rich. Most cadres and workers in county-level organs have received such letters from their hometown governments. This matter is still a response. Some powerful departments and directors in the county town send cement and fertilizer to their hometown. Some ordinary cadres have any convenient right to send back 1000 yuan, 500 yuan. It is a response and explanation to the hometown government.
1979 years old came to town from the county. I work in the literary and artistic creation group of the county cultural bureau. My main business is to create scripts and edit the publication "blocking the river literature and art" I feel ashamed and embarrassed to receive such information from my hometown Baofeng government. Because I earn 40.05 yuan a month, I have to provide for two children to go to school, eat and drink, and socialize with others. I can't even support my parents in my hometown of Baofeng Street. They do some small businesses to make a living. So I really don't have any savings to show to my hometown government, and I don't have any right to make any material representations.
However, I have no job, no right and no money, so I must show my hometown, Baofeng Town. Then, I remembered the story my mother told me when I was a child: a long time ago, there was a very capable woman who could be a mud man. It's raining heavily, and she can make up for it, especially when it doesn't rain (Baofeng Street lacks firewood for cooking). Later, the woman died and was buried in Dongpo Liangzi. Who is afraid of the problem of walking at night, the baby girl will come out to talk to you ... One day, the baby girl will talk to people at night as usual, but she meets a rogue and wants to pull the baby girl as a daughter-in-law. Later, the baby girl never came out. ...
Having been trained in folk literature, it suddenly occurred to me whether the girl in the girl story my mother told me in the past was the "Nuwa" in ancient mythology. There is a special opportunity to inquire. In the process of collecting, sorting out and editing books for the "three episodes of folk culture integration" (folk songs, folk dances and folk stories) deployed by the whole province, I went to Shishuping Village, Majiadu Town, which is separated from Baofeng Town by a beam. I am good at singing folk songs and telling folk stories. At Lin's home, I intentionally mentioned the legend of "Nu Wa Monument". Lin said that "Nu Wa Monument" is a kind name for "Nu Wa" in the west of Zhushan County, and that the Nu Wa Monument is the cover plate of the canal in front of his house.
After listening to Lin's explanation of the so-called "baby girl" in Baofeng Street, I was suddenly enlightened; I'm glad to hear where there is the inscription of Nu Wa. After he showed me with his own eyes the severely weathered objects on the monument of Nuwa, I decided to rush back to the county seat and report the news to Xu, the cultural director. Director Xu is a real cultural person. After listening to my report, he immediately arranged for Huang Wei, the cadre in charge of cultural relics in the county cultural center, to carefully examine the inscription of Nuwa.
Comrade Huang Wei went to Shishuping Village and climbed in the ditch. He looked back at the monument of Nu Wa, which had been used as a ditch cover. The imprint of the inscription is so vague that he can hardly see the outline of the handwriting. However, the villagers confirmed with one voice that it was indeed the monument of Nuwa erected on the top of Shanliangzi a few years ago, and the agricultural school was demolished when it was in Dazhai. So, I published an article "Tourism Culture after Literature" in Hubei Culture. As a pioneer in my determination to use the reputation of Zhushan and Baofeng Nuwa to stimulate local tourism, culture and economy to repay my hometown.
Second, the textual research on the related materials of Nu Wa and the publication of the first paper.
It is not a simple matter to use Nu Wa's fame to promote tourism culture and economy for his hometown Baofeng Town. Because, Nu Wa is not only a celebrity, but also a famous folk god. There are as many as 38 places in the country where Nu Wa tells her stories! Tianshui Road in Gansu Province, far away, is the birthplace of Nuwa, and Pingli in Shaanxi Province, near it, has already hyped up the goddess to mend the sky. Pingli County is based on the fact that their county was once the territory of the ancient Yong State. Isn't Zhushan County established by the ancient Yong State more reason to speculate on the story of "Goddess mending the sky"? However, Zhushan has to produce his own evidence.
So, I began to look for information about Zhushan Nuwa. First of all, looking through the vertical edition of Zhushan County Records in the county library, I found a scene at the top of the mountain ridge at the junction of Baofeng Town and Majiadu Town in the "Eight Scenes of Zhushan", named "Nu Wa Qing Suo". Its interpretation cloud: here is Nuwa Mountain, which is said to be the land where Nuwa refined stones to make up the sky; Because the landform looks like a bronze lock, and there are lush forests and fragrant grass, it is called "Nu Wa Qing Lock". Wang Xiangzhi, an ancient poet, wrote two poems: "There are few pedestrians in Nuwa Mountain, and birds are singing in the deep valley ..." The location indicated in Guben County Records is now under the diversion aqueduct (called Tianqiao locally) at the junction of the two towns, that is, in front of Chen's new home, a retired teacher who is willing to teach young people calligraphy voluntarily.
In this regard, I contacted the discovery of Nuwa Mountain and wrote an essay "Nuwa Mountain", which was solemnly taken over by the propaganda department of the county party Committee and stopped publishing forever, and the original prose edition of Shiyan Evening News in Xiaoyan City. This paper introduces the location of Nuwa Mountain in detail, and emphatically laments that it is wrong to build Nuwa Mountain in an agricultural school. Here, is it really Nuwa Mountain in "Goddess of Mending Heaven"? Whether it is a legend or a real existence, it is unreliable.
So, what is the basis of Guben County Records? Check the remarks again. The most authoritative reference book in China, Kangxi Dictionary, shall prevail. Since there is a source, we have to look for it, and then we went to the county library to churn out the vertical version of Kangxi Dictionary. Finally, I was surprised to see its explanation under the phonetic notation of "hey": hey, Guguache (this ancient phonetic notation,' gugua' is pronounced as wa-author's note); Hey, an ancient sacred woman, she began to make a spring and make people from the soil; Refining stones to make up the sky; According to legend, refining the stone and mending the sky is located in Nuwa Mountain, 40 miles west of Zhushan County, Yunyang ... This interpretation of Kangxi Dictionary comes from Historical Records. Biography of five emperors. Of course, I looked up the historical records. The Biography of Five Emperors proves that the cloud in Kangxi's dictionary really comes from this.
China people have traditional habits, and what they don't know can't be trusted. Therefore, the goddess of mending the sky is in Baofeng-this is the evidence in the classics! So, on the one hand, I told Wang Yifu and Jason at Baofeng Cultural Station that I had verified that the goddess of mending heaven was indeed in Baofeng. Wang He and Zhang went to town the next day. I made a few copies of the page about "Nu Wa" in Kangxi dictionary and asked them to take it back to Baofeng, so that they could use it as a cultural station first. Lobbying Baofeng Town Party Committee and government officials, especially focusing on persuading Party Secretary Ji Hongshan. On the other hand, I immediately set out to do a paper "Nu Wa Should Make the World Shock"-the title comes from Mao Zedong's poem "Goddess Should Be Safe, Be the World Shock! This article was written and published for the first time by Zhushan Tourism News founded by County Tourism Bureau. Arguments and arguments about the thesis will be discussed below. (To be continued)
Third, the original text and explanation of "Nu Wa should astonish the world"
-My opinion on the development of cultural tourism landscape in Nuwa Mountain
Zhushan county has a long history and culture. It is well known that folk culture and art have a deep accumulation; Qinba is full of amorous feelings and different opinions; Its natural landscape and humanistic landscape are rich mines that can be vigorously developed when tourism culture is booming. The little-known Lvtouxia drifting in the upper reaches of the deep mountain in the south of the county is the first in tourism culture and economy in our county, and the two benefits have always been promising. It can be seen that the mountain is not high, the fairy is famous, the water is not deep, and the dragon has a spirit. Then, the development and construction of the name Nuwa, which is respected and praised by the world, should have been put on the agenda of tourism, culture and economic development in our county long ago. Because I am from Nuwa Mountain, I love my hometown deeply, so I don't care about my talent, but I don't care about people. Try to talk about my opinion and pass it on to Fang Jia, in order to seek a new growth point of social and economic benefits in our county.
(Explanation) The opening thought of the paper is clear, which summarizes the long history and culture of our county and the examples of using human resources to promote tourism economy, thus proving the necessity of developing and utilizing Nuwa cultural attractions.
First, about the taste of Nuwa.
To develop the cultural tourism economy of Nuwa Mountain, we must first have a high enough understanding of the "taste" of Nuwa Mountain. Since its birth and accession to the WTO, Nu Wa has not only been praised and revered by the people of China, but also known to all ethnic groups in the world. Even people of various social systems and political views have a good impression on her and admire her. (Explanation) This view has never been seen before, or big experts dare not say it before. From the perspective of maternal love, it should not be politics and class, but the common nature of human beings and even animals. Therefore, the coverage of the magical effect of Nu Wa is very wide.
The praise, reverence, admiration and admiration for Nu Wa are not emphasized by anyone who writes any special documents, nor called by any authoritative figures, nor do they need experts and scholars to decide, nor do they need to sort out the typical materials of advanced figures' exemplary deeds for her, but come from the display of Nu Wa's own personality strength and her own contribution to the establishment of Qi Tian Gaidi: First, they created human beings as indigenous people; Second, refining stones to make up the sky saved mankind; Third, brother and sister get married and breed human beings; Fourth, the ceremony of celebrating weddings and funerals educated human beings; Fifthly, sheng-huang musical instruments began to entertain human beings. These five contributions have never been compared with a god and a fairy, nor with an emperor. What about the others? !
The legend of Nu Wa is very long, and many people praise her story. Her five contributions are already in the story, but no one has summarized them in detail. Summarize them into five articles for the first time. Thanks to the county tourism bureau and other relevant leaders and folks who are interested in Nuwa culture, sincerely admit-quote or turn into their own opinions-unless they sincerely admit, they will not quote; After 2005, thanks to the commitment of the county from universities, senior experts and specialized academic research institutions such as Beijing and Wuhan, it was widely cited in two conferences on the study of Nuwa culture in the county and the Collection of Essays on the Study of Nuwa Culture published by the county. The citation rate of this book is over 60%. Fortunately, everyone is everyone, and I didn't forget to indicate the main points cited in my paper at the end of the article. But the relevant people in the county don't mention it, so they don't talk about it.
If the ancient gods such as Shennong, Yan Di, Shun Di, Yaodi and Wang Dayu also made great achievements, they really only made achievements in developing agricultural production, strengthening water conservancy construction, and establishing personality and moral demeanor. But these achievements can only be achieved after Nu Wa created, saved and propagated mankind. His merits are not in front of Nu Wa. There is also a jade emperor, Lao Zhang, who is in charge of the gods in heaven and hell on earth, including monsters. Although he has great prestige, he is also a "god" who only exists after human beings, and this god was sealed by Jiang Ziya, a self-employed person who sells grey noodles. This matter can be found in the "table of gods" in the novel "Romance of Gods" (that is, the order of appointment and dismissal of cadres in later generations), and the specific time is in the era of Shang Zhouwang in the human era. At this point, Optimus Prime's Gong Gong and Zhuan Xu, two gods who were knocked down by fighting, were obviously earlier than the Jade Emperor Lao Zhang. They pushed down Tianzhu and tore the Tianhe River, leading to The goddess patching the sky. It must be after the Tianhe River is stable that Lao Zhang can settle down as an immortal emperor. There are also famous foreign immortals in foreign countries, such as the Statue of Liberty, Cupid and Vulcan, but they are all gods who are only responsible for a single cause, and that cause is freedom, love and love, including the use of fire, which only makes sense with human beings. There is also a "God" with the highest taste that all countries believe in. His duty is to relieve all the troubles in the world, punish all the evils in the world and arrange all the happiness. However, only after the birth of man can he appear. -In this contrast, the grade of Nuwa's taste specifications is obvious. She is the god who preceded the gods, the ancestor of matriarchal society, the god who laid a good foundation for the gods, and the unparalleled god who created man to make up the sky. Its taste specification is "best", "best" or "supreme"!
(Description) From the local immortal series, the immortal teams from all over the world are widely discussed; From all kinds of single-function gods, this paper discusses the most admired god in western countries-there is no immortal without people; Nu Wa made man-after having man, many immortals were born. Therefore, the status of Nu Wa is the highest. If we don't emphasize this point, Nu Wa is equivalent to a generalized god.
Nu Wa Jing Shi Part II
The Orientation and Interpretation of Nu Wa's Achievements
I remember two years ago (based on the time when I wrote this article on 200 1), People's Daily, the most authoritative newspaper in China, reported a news that a group of experts and scholars explored and pursued the root of the beauty of Nu Wa. The conclusion is that an aunt named Nu Wa was born in a village in Shandong in ancient history. She said that she was not afraid of hardships, filial to her parents, lived in harmony with her neighbors, was ready to help others, and made good use of her intelligence to relieve their pain. But at the end of the article, there is one person missing. It is only rumored that she will become an immortal.
I am still a primary school student, but I stubbornly believe that his son-in-law is definitely not recognized by the whole country and the world. Because: first, as mentioned above, this Nuwa is a person who is earlier than all gods and before all people; Another Nuwa has parents' filial piety, which proves that she is later than this Nuwa; Second, this Nu Wa can help others to mend the sky, while another Nu Wa can only help her neighbors to do some ordinary chores. Third, if his son-in-law is immortal after birth, it can only be a woman whose name coincides with his. After the goddess filled the sky this time, the sky really never broke again, and his son-in-law can't be said to be a son-in-law who can fill the sky again.
The above three items are enough to show that the two Nuwa can't draw an equal sign at all, which is really different. Nu Wa, whose reputation is locked around a village in Shandong Province, can't stick to the paste of 100 stones of wheat flour, and is a world-famous Nu Wa. The purpose of those experts and scholars' discussion is nothing more than to bring explosive news to a village in Shandong, in order to bring explosive two benefits. But in the end, I couldn't justify myself and came to an end. After that, nothing happened.
However, the mountain at the junction of Baofeng Town East and Majiadu Town West in the western center of Zhushan County is the authentic Nuwa Mountain, and it is surrounded by places where Nuwa has made contributions. The reasons are as follows: First, the original name of the mountain is Nuwa Mountain, which was praised by Wang Xiangzhi, a poet who was earlier than the author of Historical Records: "There are few pedestrians in Nuwa Mountain, and there are birds singing in the deep valley ..." Second, it is recorded in Historical Records and quoted in detail in Chronicle of the Five Emperors; Three, China's most authoritative Kangxi Dictionary, annotated and explained the word "Wei" and quoted "Historical Records? The original text of "Biography of Five Emperors": "Well" is an ancient saint, and the one who transforms everything is also; Also, Nu Wa began to make Shengquan; Nu Wa refined five-color stones to fill the sky; Nuwa Mountain is located in the west of Zhushan County, Yunyang, and it is said that refining stones makes up the sky; (Punctuation is added by quotation) Fourth, Zhushan County Records has eight scenes such as "Nu Wa Qing Institute"; V. Nu Wa Bei Nu Wa crossed the ditch in front of Lin's family in Luojiapo Village, Shandong Province. Its monument is engraved with the great achievements of Nu Wa Mountain and Nu Wa.
Now let's talk about the orientation of Nu Wa's achievements. Shandong Nuwa is not equal to Nuwa mentioned in this article. In Ankang and Pingli, Shaanxi, there is no evidence except a mountain and tower with the name of Nu Wa, and this card is too ordinary to explain the essence of the problem. Because there are many examples of using famous gods as the names of temple streets-then, Nuwa Mountain in the east of Baofeng Town, Zhushan, with relics, conclusions of ancient books and a series of materials about Nuwa's legend, is the undisputed place where Nuwa can make a difference.
Because of this, it is necessary to prove the evidence. To put it bluntly, God and his deeds are actually appointed by people. That is to say, people in ancient times could not explain mysterious natural phenomena, so they explained them in the simplest way: everything that is less than human resources is pinned on divine power and virtual fingers. But what I'm talking about in this article is Nuwa Mountain in the east of Baofeng Town, Zhushan County. People who want to change now may be powerless. If the skin does not exist, how can the hair be attached?
Explain that the main purpose of my thesis is to locate the place where Nu Wa tried to mend the sky-this is a key issue. Although it is well known that the goddess of mending heaven is a legend, as far as the aesthetic photos of folklore, that is, aesthetic psychology, are concerned, they would rather believe in it than believe in it. Then, since we believe it, we must determine the "birthplace" or "territory" of refining stones to make up the sky. Moreover, this birthplace is not designated and recognized by people casually. Moreover, in Records of the Five Emperors and Kangxi Dictionary, it is clearly pointed out that Nuwa's alchemy stone is located in Nuwa Mountain east of Baofeng Town in the west of Zhushan (in reality, Baofeng Mountain is now designated as Nuwa Mountain, which is another topic), and this fact is now no matter who it is.
Nu Wa should surprise the world.
Nuwa Mountain landscape development and construction in place.
(Original) Understand the taste of Nu Wa, and define the orientation of Nu Wa Mountain and Nu Wa's refining stones to make up the sky. What needs to be implemented is that development and construction are in place. First of all, it must be that the relevant leaders and departments have a good understanding of Nu Wa, that is, they must reach the following consensus: 1, Nu Wa's high taste, no fairy can compare with any emperor; 2. Nu Wa's feat of refining stones to make up the sky is really unprecedented; 3. Nu Wa is the daughter-in-law of the Chinese nation and the common daughter-in-law of mankind, but the birthplace of Nu Wa's achievements is Nu Wa Mountain in the east of Xibaofeng Town, Zhushan County. 4. The completion of Nuwa landscape is the birth of another cultural tourism hotspot and another economic growth point; 5. Nuwa Mountain cultural landscape is located in the transit section of 305 provincial highway, which has the effect of convenient transportation and rapid response; 6, the most effective potential to sublimate the popularity of Zhushan.
Second, the layout of scenic spots is in place. Speaking of this problem, we need funds in place. However, the county's financial resources are tight, and the strength of Baofeng Town is too thin. In view of the practical difficulties in raising funds, this paper explores three ways: 1, specifically seeking funds from superiors or tourism departments; 2. It can attract investment; 3. Mobilize people and all sectors of society to make voluntary contributions; You can even imagine first, plan first, and adopt the method of chewing sugar cane, one by one. For example, you can put the old monument back in place or rebuild it; Then sculpt the icon of Nu Wa, and then gradually open up and construct Nu Wa's place to make man's land, dry man's embryo, collect colored stones and refine stones to make up the sky, until flowers and trees are widely planted, forming Nu Wa.
Where is Liu Bei buried? For many years, it is almost necessary to explore several tombs of Liu Bei, in order to see is believing; Zhuge Liang cultivated fields, and Xiangfan and Nanyang also played for many years; Now, there is a battle between Ankang and Heping-the living fight for the dead. Today, we are fighting for the ancients, fighting for the ancient gods, and even borrowing from the ancients, not for feudal superstition, but for the economic effects brought by celebrity fever. There is an undisputed supreme god in the western center of our county. We should have learned to "use God" a long time ago, and used our local "God"-Nu Wa to get hot again in our county, not only for getting rich, but also for Zhushan people to carry forward the long-standing Chinese culture, safeguard the history of human development, and safeguard the new contributions of heroines and strong women in building the world. In the past, Nu Wa surprised the world. Now Zhushan is expected to surprise the world outside the mountain with Nu Wa's surprise!
Explaining the last chapter of my thesis focuses on three points: first, we should reach a consensus on how high the taste of Nu Wa is; Secondly, the conception, layout and methods of Nuwa Mountain Scenic Area; The third is the effect to be achieved; I am more concerned about idle meals and want to talk about the construction of Nuwa scenic spot.
I remember I explained to Wang Yifu and Jason the idea of the construction layout of Nuwa Mountain Scenic Area, and asked them to tell Ji Hongshan, secretary of the town committee, that he attached great importance to it and nodded in agreement, confirming that Nuwa Mountain Park was built in the ancient and authentic Nuwa Mountain in Dongpo Town. The advantage is that tourists can see Nuwa Park immediately when they cross the road, especially opening up a place for leisure and entertainment for the residents of this town; Construction saves money and effort, and there is no need to make a big fight. And I wrote the "Request for Instructions on the Construction of Nuwa Park" to the county on my idea-unfortunately, it did not attract the attention of the county leaders. The answer is to talk about it later. The party committee and government of Baofeng Town also put this matter on hold.
Stupid and persistent, I am not discouraged. I insisted on finishing editing Zhushan in Goddess Patching Heaven Dialect, a collection of stories about Nuwa's legends. I had the cheek to ask Shi, the handover secretary of Shen Ming Yunhe and another Baofeng Town, for publishing financial support, and asked the county magistrate on duty to give special financial support. Wang Youjun signed the opinion that "I can support 5,000 yuan, please ask Secretary Dong to decide" on the report written on my behalf by the Cultural Bureau. According to common sense, the word "Zhuo" in that sentence should be "Zhuo", but later I learned that it was not written in vain, but it was a respect for superior leaders! Minister Dong Yongxiang readily signed the opinion: "It is paid from the budget." I am willing to preface this book. The government of Baofeng Town and the county each supported 5,000 yuan, which ensured the publication of "Tales of Goddess Mending Heaven". In order to arouse the real attention of county leaders, there is a written basis for reporting to superior leaders and telling experts.
Third, form a huge, empty and luxurious Nuwa scenic spot.
The publication of the story "Goddess of Mending Heaven" strengthened my confidence in studying and popularizing Nuwa culture, so I continued to collect information about Nuwa culture, and published a paper on Nuwa culture and excellent local cultural information of Zhushan in the Beijing Youth Folk Literature Forum-which finally attracted the attention of Yang Jinliang, a reporter from the Forum newspaper. In the spring of 2003, I came to Zhushan not far from Wan Li. However, it still did not attract the attention of the county.
I don't believe in sincerity. But it just won't open for a long time. It was not until I heard that the Nuwa Culture Festival was successfully held in Pingli, Shaanxi Province, a neighboring county in the southwest, that the leaders of Zhushan County woke up from a dream and started the idea of promoting Nuwa culture. It is very likely that they will catch up with Pingli and strive to catch up with it. In May 2005, the "China Zhushan Nuwa Culture Gem Festival" was held on the playground in front of the primary school in Baofeng Town, with the aim of pulling turquoise. The main program of the literary evening is my play "Goddess of Mending Heaven" staged by the County Troupe.
-The stone is open after all. But this is not my sincere wish. It was the county leaders who finally understood something. Especially in this Gem Festival, because of playing Nuwa brand and promising economic projects, the county seems to have made up its mind from now on and made up its mind to play Nuwa brand big and hard.
In order to play the card of Nuwa, public opinion should be guided. At the beginning of July, 2005, Zhushan County held the first research meeting on Nuwa culture, and invited experts and scholars of folk literature from Beijing Academy of Social Sciences and Peking University, Professor Zhang from Wuhan University of Science and Technology and famous scholars from Shiyan City to attend the meeting. At the meeting, several professors from Yunyang Normal College and several scholars from the city made written speeches, which I also read out. This paper lists many existing relics and legends of Nu Wa in Zhushan. Finally, waiting for experts in Beijing to give an authoritative evaluation-but experts and scholars in Beijing are very cautious, they don't mention the issue of substantive Nu Wa-they don't show any attitude! At the meeting, Feng Anlong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, sent a short message to the mobile phone of the cultural director, saying, "It is still useful to see the local experts around me." The director showed me a short message and said, "This soil expert refers to you."
Although experts and scholars in Beijing did not express their views, the sign of "Zhushan County Nuwa Culture Research Association" hung in the hall of Baofeng Town Cultural Center after the meeting. In the summer of 2007, I learned that I was the vice president of the Institute. Although experts and scholars in Beijing have not made any substantive statements, this does not affect the county's determination and pace to speed up the construction of Nuwa scenic spots. I still don't know who the county invited to be the master planner of the construction of Nuwa scenic spot. What is the basis of the planning? Anyway, on Baofeng Mountain (the county is called Nuwa Mountain), the modern architecture represented by "Asking for Heaven Pavilion" stands tall-my parents, Nuwa, don't ask for heaven, that's Qu Yuan's business! What does it have to do with Nu Wa? ! In particular, three TV antennas were inserted, which provided convenience for Qu Yuan to ask for heaven. While my son-in-law is alone, Venus refers to the wedding place, the engagement place, the wedding place of his brother and sister, the place where Hongyun made the hijab, the wedding place of his son-in-law, and so on, and what I saw, played, heard and talked about eating sugar cane is closely related to the son-in-law's series of legends-planning one after another. Therefore, this scenic spot, which has no scenic spots, no fun spots and no tourist participation points, is so big, so empty and so luxurious!
