Yangzhou's rural roads are quite good. My hometown is on the side of city and county roads. The transportation is very convenient, and the car drives directly to the door of my home.

There is a long vegetable field to the east of the house, with eight or nine kinds of vegetables and onions and garlic growing.

In the distance is a large area of farmland, which belongs to the Lixiahe area and is an important grain-producing area in the country. Now many wind power generation equipment is also erected in the distance.

First stop, Huai 'an Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall

The museum area consists of a group of commemorative buildings, a memorial island, three artificial lakes and green spaces around the lakes. It covers a total area of 400,000 square meters, of which 70% is water surface. There are a main museum and an auxiliary museum on the island. The total construction area of the main museum and the auxiliary museum is 3265 square meters, of which the main museum is 1918 square meters and the auxiliary museum is 1347 square meters. The rest include Lanshan Poetry Monument, Haitang Forest, Haitang Road, Cherry Blossom Road, Wulong Pavilion, Huaien Pavilion, Xiling Hall Fish Watching, etc.

The main museum has an inscription by Deng XiaopingZhou Enlai Memorial HallSix golden characters. There are three floors inside, a film and television hall on the first floor, a memorial hall on the second floor, and a viewing platform on the third floor. The outside is square and the inside is octagonal. The square octahedron means that Zhou Enlai's spirit shines on our Chinese nation. The four granite stone pillars embody Zhou Enlai's grand vision of realizing the "four modernizations" in our country four times in 1954, 1962, 1964 and 1975. The four granite stone pillars support the four-sloping roof, which looks reminiscent of the cattle-cart shed on the ancient Jianghuai Plain that pumped water and irrigated fields. It embodies Zhou Enlai's life as a life of serving the people. The shape of the four pillars supporting the four-sloping roof is similar to the waiting pavilion in the Lixiahe area of northern Jiangsu. When Zhou Enlai left home for Northeast China in 1910, he waited for a ship at the waiting pavilion by the canal, and then boarded the ship north. Taking the shape of the Waidu Pavilion as his memorial hall means that Zhou Enlai walked out of the Waidu Pavilion in Huai 'an and finally returned to his hometown.

The square in front of the main hall is the South Lake in front of it, and the Zhantai in the middle of the opposite bank is the square, with a sword stele on each side.

The archway style view gate and the herringbone annex combine to be the "bayiThe pattern of "symbolizes Zhou Enlai's intention to lead the August 1st Nanchang Uprising.

Passing through the Zhou Enlai Bronze Statue Square, the old couple took a group photo in front of the imitation Xihua Hall in Zhongnanhai.

General Secretary Xi wrote: Comrade Zhou Enlai is a brilliant superstar of the Chinese nation in modern times and an immortal flag of the Chinese Communists.

Walking slowly all the way, I finally walked through the cherry blossom trees and camphor trees back to the gate.

Second stop, Wu Chengen's former residence

Wu Chengen was an outstanding litterateur in the Ming Dynasty, a world cultural celebrity, and the author of Journey to the West. The former residence is located at No. 12 Datong Lane, Hexi Ancient Town, Huaian District, Huaian City. It is a national AAAA tourist attraction.

Shu Tongthe following inscription written onWu chengen's former residence

There are sculptures of the Tang Priest and his apprentice, with Sun Wukong in front of them.

The buildings are all in the Ming and Qing architectural styles of the Lixiahe area, with many halls and halls. Overall, this is a comprehensive tourist attraction integrating literary research, celebrity commemoration, traditional education, cultural expo, tourism and leisure.

There are many couplets in the former residence. Because the owner accompanied his parents, he passed them in a hurry without reading them in detail. The reason why I brought my parents here is because "Journey to the West" is well known to everyone in China. The stories of the chaos in the celestial palace and the Tang Priest learning scriptures are well known. As for Wu Chengen's life experience and humanistic connotation, they seem to have little interest.

Third stop, Hexi Ancient Town

Hexi Ancient Town, once known as "Beichen Town", is located in Hexi Street, Huaian District, Huaian City. The ancient town was formed in the late Spring and Autumn Period and has a history of about 2500 years. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 67 Jinshi, 123 Juren, and 12 Hanlin were born here.

There is also a legendary couplet inside, which has not been matched yet. The couplet on the east pillar is:Little sister, go up and down the river, sit north and face south to eat。The west pillar is still blank, and no one has been matching the second couplet.

In the evening, we found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and chatted about family affairs. The store owner heard that I was accompanying my parents on a trip, so he specially came to make a toast.

Fourth stop, Sishui Pavilion

When I came to Siyang, Suqian, I specially took a look at this Sishui Pavilion. It is known here as the "Yellow Crane Tower in Northern Jiangsu". It is a classical building with four sides and seven floors imitating the Tang and Han styles.

Unfortunately, the door was closed

On the edge is the ancient canal

After taking a full picture, leave and head to the next point, Sihong.

Fifth stop, Guxuge Scenic Area

sihongXuyi used to belong to Anhui. In order to facilitate the management of Hongze Lake, the state replaced Dangshan and Xiao County in Jiangsu with Sihong and Xuyi in Anhui.

Sihong is "Xu"The birthplace of the surname, the former site of the ancient Xu State.

Let me explain here: my mother passed away early. This is my stepmother.

The building is magnificent and the Han style is obvious.

The footprints of ancient Xu have been passed down through generations.

ruomu

This person was the ancestor of the Xu surname and the second son of Boyi. Because Boyi was instrumental in assisting Dayu in flood control, he died early. Ruomu was granted a seal to Xu and established the Xu State. Later generations took the country as their surname and passed it down to this day.

Sixth stop, Yan's Tomb in Huamingtang

This is a national key cultural relic protection unit. It is located 500 meters southeast of Huamingtang Village, Xiaoxi Town, Wuhe County, Anhui Province. It is a cultural relic tourist attraction and tourist attraction for the first-class lady burial system in the Ming Dynasty. It was built in 1374 in the seventh year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty and covers an area of 1500 square meters. There was once a five-bay hall.

Stone people, stone beasts and steles

It is rumored that after Zhu Yuanzhang left the temple and defected to the Red Turbans Army, he was seriously injured in a battle with the Yuan Army and fled to Yanjialou. Miss Yan ignored the urgent wisdom of feudal etiquette and used a large wicker basket to hide Zhu Yuanzhang and covered the wicker basket with her own skirt. Miss Yan deceived the Yuan Army calmly. Later, during her medical treatment at the Yan family, Miss Yan was attracted by the broad-minded Zhu Yuanzhang, who also fell in love with Miss Yan. Miss Yan shaved her hair and presented it to her at the moment of parting. She would not marry anyone other than him. Zhu Yuanzhang once again devoted himself to the anti-Yuan war years. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Nanjing, but Miss Yan did not see the wedding team and died of depression. When Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the Yan family's engagement, he learned that Miss Yan had died and was deeply saddened. He was buried according to the specifications of a first-class lady. Because Miss Yan died unmarried, only one phoenix was engraved on the forehead of the stele.

Seventh stop, Xiaogang Village, Fengyang

In 1978, Anhui suffered a severe drought that was rare in a century. At that time, Xiaogang Village in Fengyang County was famous as a "three-dependent village"-relying on re-sales of food, on loans for production, and on relief for life.“Mud houses, mud beds, mud pots, no food"The conditions are very difficult.

One night in the winter of 1978, 18 households in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province came together to discuss and form a unified opinion: "We divide the fields to each household, and each household head signs and seals it. If we can do it in the future, each household will guarantee to complete the annual payment of public grain for each household, and no longer ask the country for money and grain. If it fails, our cadres will be willing to go to prison and beheaded, and all the members will also promise to support our children until they are eighteen years old."

Then, 18 villagers of Xiaogang Village pressed their bright red fingerprints on a "secret contract" for distributing farmland to households, implementing the "big contract" for agriculture. That night, the production team's land, cattle, farm tools, etc. were distributed to each household by head, and the vigorous "big contract" began.

In this way,"what is handed over to the country, what is left for the collective, and what is left is yours." This simple and easy method is most popular among farmers. In 1979, Wan Li, then first secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee, fully affirmed and supported the practice of large-scale contracting. It can be said that the great feat of 18 farmers in Xiaogang Village played the prelude to China's rural reform.

I was still young at that time, but my father had experienced that era. At that time, he was still the captain of the production team, and he was also involved in the entire process when the country was pushed across the country. So I specially brought him here to see with my own eyes and feel it!

Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County

China's No. 1 Village in Rural Reform

Now a tourist reception center has been built and a tourism service industry has been established.

The old house, with pots and stoves, earthen bricks, rice collection, old-style farm tools, furniture, pig and cow pens, waterwheel grinding plates and slogans, but my father was very cordial when he saw it.

Eighth stop, the ancient city of Emperor Yao

Emperor Yao's cultureIt is mainly based on the ancient culture of Emperor Yao who was born in Taji Town, Jinhu County, and combines local folk culture to create a unique ancient city tourism culture.

It mainly displays the culture of Emperor Yao in China, the architectural culture and humanistic culture of the Jinhu area, gathers the humanistic culture, architectural culture, and food culture characteristic of Jinhu, overcomes the singleness of cultural attractions in various places, and is a grand view garden of Chinese Emperor Yao culture and Jinhu humanities culture and architectural culture.

Ancient City of Emperor Yao

This is a cultural tourism project, with few people for unknown reasons.

Looking at the introduction, the entire project covers an area of 1000 acres

It was empty, and there were few pommel horses in front of the door.

In the classics, Emperor Yao was born in "South of Sana"According to this, there were five or six places across the country competing for the hometown of Emperor Yao. Gaoyou in Yangzhou also applied for the hometown of Emperor Yao. They all had their own excuses and found local and foreign experts to quote classics, but in the end, they all ended up with nothing.

Gaoyou's hometown of Emperor Yao has been booming for a while, but has now ceased. Fortunately, there has been no too much investment. It seems that the ancient city of Emperor Yao in Jinhu in Huai 'an will not be any better! It seems that it is caused by political achievements, fever, and waste money! Only a sigh!!

The three-day journey was leisurely and leisurely, and it ended here. I set off for home.
