This sentence is enough to show that Shanxi has a long history and rich resources.
Five thousand years ago, Emperor Yan took Shanxi as his tribal activity area, and Yao, Shun and Yu all established their capitals in Shanxi.
The first dynasty in the history of China, the first slave state power-Xia Dynasty, was also established in Shanxi.
From the map, the shape of Shanxi is like a parallelogram or a diamond. Some people compare the shape of Shanxi to mulberry leaves.
Either way, it is said that the shape of Shanxi is long and narrow, narrow from north to south and wide in the middle.
Shanxi, commonly known as "mountains and rivers on the outside", refers to the geographical structure of Shanxi, with Taihang Mountain in the east, Luliang Mountain in the west, Hengshan Mountain in the north and the Yellow River in the south.
Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain, in particular, formed two solid barriers, which not only blocked the traffic, but also blocked the ups and downs outside, but also condensed the wealth and popularity of Shanxi in this land, which created a good feng shui for Shanxi people and formed the habit of Shanxi people gathering wealth.
Many quadrangles in Shanxi that have been passed down to this day also have a feng shui pattern of gathering wealth.
Shanxi quadrangles, as a model of China residential buildings, are mostly left-right symmetrical structures. The main courtyard is strewn at random, and the atrium is open and distinct.
At the same time, the four walls of Shanxi compound are closed, and there are few windows on the outer wall. Windows are usually open to the yard, so that you can leave your wealth inside.
There are many kinds of reflecting walls and shadow walls in Shanxi quadrangles, all of which are designed to block the airflow, slow down the airflow, make the wealth and gas in the house fully circulate, and form a pattern of hiding wind and gathering gas.
The accumulation of wealth of Shanxi people is inseparable from the landscape and humanities of Shanxi.
Changzhi was called Shangdang in ancient times. The myths and legends that laid the foundation of Chinese civilization, such as Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, the goddess mending the sky, Houyi shooting at the sun and Jingwei filling the sea, were born here and are known as the "myth capital" of China.
The name of Shanxi is named after living in the west of Taihang Mountain. During the Spring and Autumn Period, most areas were owned by the State of Jin, so it was called "Jin" for short. In the early Warring States period, Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, so they were also called "Three Jin". The total area of the province is156,000 square kilometers, with a total population of nearly 34 million. It has jurisdiction over 1 1 prefecture-level cities and 1 19 counties, cities and districts.
Changzhi is a famous old revolutionary base area. There are more than 600 revolutionary memorial sites in the city, and the red cultural resources are very rich. Zhu De, Peng, Liu Bocheng and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation established Taihang and Taiyue anti-Japanese base areas in Changzhi, and deployed and commanded famous battles such as Hundred Regiments War and Huangyadong Defence War.
Shanxi is an old revolutionary base area with glorious tradition and an important gathering place of red cultural resources. The red tourism resources in Shanxi Province have a large stock, many types and high grade. From May 4th Movement, Great Revolution, Civil Revolutionary War, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Liberation War to socialist construction and reform and opening up, all kinds of red tourism resources are readily available. Shanxi's deep red cultural soil has left us many revolutionary relics. 1 1 city in the whole province is rich in revolutionary historical sites, especially along Taihang Mountain, Luliang Mountain and Yellow River, where red tourism resources are particularly concentrated. Famous scenic spots include Wang Jiayu, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the former site of brick wall, the memorial hall of Pingxingguan Campaign site, and the former site of Huangyadong Defence War. These red cultural carriers all over the province are valuable resources for developing Shanxi's red tourism industry and promoting the comprehensive and coordinated development of the province's economy and society.
In today's Shanxi, it is of great practical significance to inherit the glorious tradition of the Eighth Route Army, excavate, sort out, creatively and vividly display, experience, comprehend and carry forward the Eighth Route Army culture, enrich and highlight the red cultural carrier of Taihang spirit and Luliang spirit, and carry forward the great Taihang spirit, Luliang spirit and Youyu spirit. Wuxiang County, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in North China and the oldest location of its leaders, has the largest memorial hall of the Eighth Route Army in China, which fully reproduces the glorious course of the Eighth Route Army's eight-year anti-Japanese war and is developing into a platform for cultural exchange and a base for cultural display of the Eighth Route Army.
The red tourist attractions in Changzhi mainly include the Taihang Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army in Wuxiang County, the former headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Wang Jiayu, the former headquarters of the Hundred Regiments War, the Huangyadong Revolutionary Memorial Hall in Licheng, the former headquarters of Taiyue Military Region in Qinyuan County, the Taihang Martyrs Memorial Hall in Changzhi City, and Xigou Village in Pingshun County.
Review the Red History and Inherit the Spirit of Struggle
Changzhi relies on revolutionary sites, memorial halls, museums and other revolutionary traditional resources to develop red tourism, which has gradually become a new bright spot in tourism development. In particular, after the red tourist route of "Huofeng Taihang Anti-Japanese War Backbone" was selected as the "100 Excellent Red Tourist Routes for a Hundred Years since the Founding of the Party" jointly issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Propaganda Department of the CPC, the Central Party History Literature Research Institute and the National Development and Reform Commission, the six red scenic spots listed in Changzhi City once again ushered in a "bright moment".
Many red scenic spots in Changzhi City have become experience places to relive the passionate years and feel the changes of the times, and have become "punching places" for young people to listen to red stories and pay tribute to heroic models.
