The small towns in the south of the Yangtze River have always stood out, and Yixing was the first to stand out from the south of the Yangtze River.
"The First Academician County in China" is a reputation given to Yixing by the outside world. It is true that Yixing is full of talents, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, colorful and talented.
Nowadays, there are many people here, and many celebrities were born here. They have witnessed the vicissitudes of this country.
Yangxian culture is full of elegance.
Yixing is located in the southwest corner of Jiangsu Province, with Liyang in the west, Changxing in the south and Changzhou in the north. It was called Jingyi in ancient times, also known as Yangxian County. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a suitable climate, which has always been loved by literati.
The ancients had a poem praising: "The ancient scenic spot looks up to the ancient sun, and the honest officials are the only ones." Yixing, praised by sages in ancient times, has not only beautiful scenery, but also a long history and culture.
Yixing has a large number of talented people, which is closely related to the local historical tradition of advocating education, and Dongpo Academy, a famous local scenic spot, has a long history with Su Shi, a great writer.
According to legend, Su Shi was relegated because of political struggle, and he was infected with the local customs here through Yixing. He just wrote to Song Huizong, asking to resign and retire here. The emperor agreed to Su Shi's request because he appreciated his talent.
In this regard, Su Shi began to live in peace in Yixing, but with his talent, he naturally attracted many literati to study and seek classics. In the second year, a Dongpo Academy was built in the local area, which shows that the local people attach importance to cultural education.
Yixing is called "the land where literati dare not be presumptuous", which is not worthy of the name. In ancient Yixing, there were four top scholars, 10 prime minister and 385 scholars!
Such a huge group of intellectuals is amazing. Some people call Yixing "the blessed land of Long Mai". Of course, this statement has a certain superstitious color, but it also puts a mysterious coat on Yixing.
China No.1 Academician County
Yixing has always been a place where elites gather. In ancient times, many scholars gathered here to discuss Confucian classics. Since modern times, there have been many talented people here.
Many reputations such as "hometown of academicians" and "hometown of professors" have become synonymous with Yixing. Legendary stories such as "one doctor and seven doctors" and "father and son are professors" have greatly improved Yixing's popularity.
Now we see that many famous school presidents and academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are all from here. Zhou Peiyuan, a physicist, is from Yixing. As a veteran of "two bombs and one satellite", he is also the president of Peking University.
Tang and Li Tang, academicians of China Academy of Engineering, and Xu Beihong, a master of Chinese painting, all came from this small county. So far, there are 26 academicians, hundreds of university presidents and tens of thousands of professors here.
In just a few decades, many academic talents have been born here, and Yixing has undoubtedly become a "talent training base" in the eyes of the world.
Academician represents a senior expert in a certain industry, and only scholars who have made outstanding contributions in scientific research are eligible to be nominated for election, which shows that it is rare.
Yixing, a seemingly insignificant small county, has trained 26 academicians for the country and provided a think tank for national construction. The title of "the first academician county in China" really lives up to its reputation.
Now the light of Yixing has not been dimmed by the passage of time. Yesterday's honor is the motivation to inspire future generations. Yixing people who have heard many glorious deeds of their predecessors since childhood should be more and more self-motivated.
The success of predecessors is even more inspiring. I believe that more talents from all walks of life will be born in this land that has nurtured great talents.
Do excellent people all come from the local atmosphere?
Yixing has continuously provided many talents for the society since ancient times.
If genius appears frequently in a place, it will certainly attract the attention of the society, but if it is Yixing, everyone will be speechless with joy, as if it has become a common thing for Yixing to produce outstanding talents from all walks of life. Are people no longer curious about the large number of talents in Yixing?
Of course not. The world is more concerned about why Yixing can produce talents frequently.
Of course, some people attribute their success to Feng Shui. They believe that Yixing's good feng shui has caused many literati to be born here throughout the ages.
There is certainly some truth in this statement. Yixing has pleasant scenery, beautiful environment and comfortable climate, which is naturally suitable for reading and research, but the legend of Yixing will not be only because of its beautiful scenery.
If we deeply explore the success of Yixing education, we will find a strong cultural atmosphere here. Yixing people have attached importance to education for generations, and the tradition of advocating culture has been integrated into their blood.
I believe that Mr. Su Shi, a great literary master, is willing to stay and discuss knowledge with a group of students who are eager for knowledge only after seeing Yixing people's rigorous academic attitude.
In the pre-Qin period, Wu, Chu and Yue cultures gathered here, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, legends originated from this.
Ancient Yixing people showed us the ancient historical and cultural details of Yixing with their own efforts.
Since modern times, Yixing has actively introduced the western educational concept of "lenient entry and strict exit", and good educational methods have laid the foundation for students' success.
The achievements of predecessors are a benchmark, and future generations will naturally be loyal to the research of scientific and cultural undertakings, which has been handed down from generation to generation and taught by educators.
A good academic atmosphere has been formed in Yixing, and this virtuous circle has generated strong cohesion, so people will naturally take the initiative to work for a certain goal subconsciously.
One side of water and soil, one side of culture.
Jiangnan has pleasant scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers, hazy green fog, and a fine wind and drizzle around the boat.
The stone road covered with grass and moss, and the pavilions and pavilions near the mountains and rivers are people's consistent impressions of Jiangnan. It is also the beauty of apricot blossoms and light rain that breeds the delicacy and cleverness of small town people.
The legend of Yixing has been written by generations. When you walk into Yixing, you will marvel at the ancient folk customs here. When you walk on Qingshi Road, you will feel the simplicity and sincerity of this town.
The book fragrance of Dongpo Academy still lingers in people's sleeves, and the wind of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching permeates the students of the school. The atmosphere of learning and seeking knowledge is strong and the style of writing is hot.
There is a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down.
Yixing showed us the regional culture he inherited from generation to generation. This ancient and sacred land may not have a magnificent building that shocked the world, but it has continued the spirit of scholarship for thousands of years and gradually accumulated into a culture.
