My hometown-Gushi, a small town
? It is not easy for Mao to sing in "Eliminating Sorrow": "One is to respect my hometown, the other is to respect the distance, to keep my kindness and to urge me to grow up". Perhaps for most of us, hometown is a distant place, after many years. Miss, the farther, the deeper; The longer, the longer.
? When I bought moon cakes in the supermarket at night, I suddenly remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival in my hometown, the distant mountains and the fragrant rice. I wonder if the moon in my hometown is still as bright as before? I am in Xinxiang at the moment, and my hometown is in the south. A small county named Gushi is located far away in the southeast corner of Xinyang.
? Speaking of Gushi, maybe everyone will be curious about the origin of its name. In fact, the territory of Gushi County is the core area of Guo in the pre-Qin period, and Guo Jiu is in the northeast of Gushi City, so Gushi is called "Guo City" and "Guo Capital", and the county is called "Guo Capital" for short. In the second year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu named Li Tong as the head of Gushi, and the core area of Gushi fief is now Gushi. Since then, the name "Gushi" has lasted for nearly two thousand years. For two thousand years, the change of dynasties, the change of history and the tempering of years have never faded its edge.
Gushi, a town, is full of people.
Gushi is one of the nine Soviet counties in Henan Province, the birthplace of the Red Fourth Army, the Red 25 Army and the Red 28 Army, and now it is the most populous county in Henan Province. A census in 20 14 showed that the total population of Gushi county was 1.74 million. Gushi county has always been a multi-ethnic community. In the early days, there were Han, Hui, Mongolian, Manchu and Tu. 1987 There are 18 ethnic minorities with a population of nearly 24,000. In 2009, there were 33 ethnic minorities in the county, with a population of nearly 30,000, of which the Hui population accounted for the majority, accounting for about 99% of the ethnic minority population. Such a big national family naturally has a long history and colorful culture.
The wheel of history always turns forward, without asking or thinking about the past. Therefore, in the imprint of history, there is a muddy imprint of the times, a silent sigh of the years, and of course, more is a vision for the future. There were four large-scale migrations to the south in its history, and its descendants gradually spread to Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, Europe and America. Gushi is also known as "the hometown of Tang people, the ancestral land of Fujian and Taiwan" and "the first hometown of overseas Chinese in the Central Plains". To undertake the "Gushi Roots Culture Festival" hosted by China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese every year. Gushi is one of the "Top Ten Strong Cultural Counties in Henan Province", with a prosperous writing style and profound historical and cultural accumulation since ancient times.
? Calligraphy is the cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, and it shines brightly in the world cultural and artistic treasure house. As the hometown of calligraphy in China, Gushi County has made valuable contributions to the promotion and development of calligraphy, a quintessential national art. There were hundreds of literati in Gushi during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Their calligraphy attainments are extraordinary. Zhu Qingfan, the "second chair" and Daoguang teacher in Qing Dynasty, Wu Qizhuo, a famous botanist, the only "No.1 scholar" in Henan Province in Qing Dynasty, and Qin Shusheng, editor-in-chief of Geographic Draft in Qing Dynasty, are all outstanding representatives and calligraphers.
The beauty of Gushi is not only rich in books, but also rich in tulips in West Jiuhua Mountain. People are in full bloom everywhere.
? When I was a child, I was naughty and always followed my friends all over the mountain. At that time, the fields, hills, kitchen smoke and sunset inadvertently filled my whole childhood. So beautiful and so far away.
? In this quiet small county, green rice can be seen everywhere in spring, which is very similar to the wheat fields in the north. Of course, there are also wheat fields, cotton, peanuts and corn lying sparsely on those silent hills. During the busy farming season, there are many rice cutters coming and going, so naughty children stay on the ridge, catch grasshoppers and guard their rice bags. Because of the subtropical monsoon climate in Gushi, even in late autumn, you can go to the fields to harvest your own peanuts. This lukewarm weather may be what farmers are most grateful for.
? My dear hometown, its most attractive place is actually its colorful food. Maybe you've heard of it. Goose in Gushi, Hu spicy soup in Liangjiagang, Maojian tea in Xinyang and all kinds of halal food are countless.
? The beauty of hometown is the beauty that can't be desecrated, and the beauty that is full of tenderness besides nostalgia.
Dear, Gushi town. May peace be with you.
