Mao Zedong Memorial Garden

Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Garden

synonym

Mao Zedong Memorial Park generally refers to Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Park

Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Park is located on the top of the mountains about 500 meters to the west of Mao Zedong's former residence. The memorial park was originally named "Mao Zedong Road Garden". The concept of Jingyuan is obviously inspired by the miniature landscape of "window of the world" in many big cities across the country. The whole Jingyuan only took one year. At the end of 1995, it covered an area of about 200000 square meters, with nearly 100 buildings, large and small. The Jingyuan, which integrates Memorial, education, sightseeing and other functions, was displayed in front of the world.

In February 2020, to pay homage to the medical workers, the scenic spot will provide preferential and free tourism services to the medical workers of the whole country (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from the date of resumption of operation to December 31, 2020.

characteristic

The most important feature of Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Park is that the memorial significance lies in the reproduction of the real object, so that people can feel the historical process in the garden. There are two entrances to the garden, namely, the south gate and the east gate. The south gate extends naturally from the passage before Mao Zedong's former residence. It passes through the Guangong bridge, crosses the Shao River, and goes around shaoshanzui. Between the bridge and the mouth, there is an antique archway to guide visitors to the north, which is very consistent with Mao Zedong's journey from north to south.

Scenery

From the south gate into the garden, through a towering and majestic gate tower, the front highlights a line of the Great Wall, symbolizing the national soul of the great man Mao Zedong. Along the main road, I picked up the steps, but I saw a magnificent building standing on the high rock. This is the most magnificent place in the garden: Shaoshan Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. The memorial hall is the main building of the whole garden, echoing the former residence, covering an area of 5000 square meters and a building area of 1300 square meters. The building adopts the traditional temple style, with white powder walls and glazed green tiles. It not only has the grandeur of the high hall, but also has the characteristics of Shaoshan folk houses. The memorial hall complex is composed of entrance front yard, main building and back Hill Garden. In front of the entrance, the front yard is a place for visiting activities and collecting and distributing rest. The main building is the front and back hall and the side hall, and the inner courtyard building is surrounded by the corridor. The indoor exhibition shows Mao Zedong's life in various periods. In the back hall, there are white jade sculptures of Mao Zedong and six relatives. Along the small gate on the right side, you can enjoy the representative scenic spots of each period in the order of Mao Zedong's life.

First of all, the well Pavilion of Hunan First Normal University stands among the flowers and trees, followed by Nanhu, the site of the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China. There is a pleasure boat moored by the lake. Then there are the former site of Qingshuitang, No. 41 of Wuchang Dufu dyke, the octagonal building of Maoping in Jinggangshan, the monument of Huangyangjie, ruijintian well, and the former site of Zunyi Conference, the second largest building in the park. Ruijin well and Zunyi Meeting are in the valley, suggesting that the revolutionary cause led by Mao Zedong will move from low tide to high tide.

The highest part of the garden is Yan'an cave and Yan'an Pagoda. In addition to copying the most relevant memorials of Mao Zedong's life, the garden is also equipped with some amusement facilities to show that "the predecessors worked hard and the posterity enjoyed happiness". Some myths and legends in the garden also reflect Mao Zedong's personal characteristics of realism and romanticism.

On July 1, 2011, the party history exhibition hall of Shaoshan special branch of the Communist Party of China was built and opened to the outside world in the Mao Zedong Memorial Park, becoming another important place for patriotism education in Shaoshan, Hunan Province, after the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall and the Mao Zedong relics hall.

historical origin

In June 1925, Comrade Mao Zedong and his wife Yang Kaihui founded one of the earliest party branches in rural China, the special branch of the Communist Party of China in Shaoshan, which ignited the fire of the revolution. In all previous revolutionary struggles, Shaoshan branch experienced the baptism of blood and fire, gave birth to Mao Xinmei, Mao Fuxuan and other Shaoshan five heroes, and created the Shaoshan spirit of "to sacrifice more ambition, dare to teach the sun and the moon for a new heaven". In order to further rescue and protect the precious party history materials of Shaoshan party organization and vigorously publicize the spirit of Shaoshan, the general Party branch committee of Shaoshan village started to build the party history exhibition hall of Shaoshan special branch of the Communist Party of China. By displaying precious historical materials, the glorious revolutionary history of Shaoshan can be reproduced, and the connotation of Shaoshan as a national patriotic education demonstration base can be further enriched and the educational function can be improved. The exhibition area of the party history exhibition hall is 800 square meters, which is divided into eight chapters: Party building in Shaoshan, organizational struggle, climax, hidden struggle, restoration and reconstruction, anti Japanese and national salvation, meeting the dawn, and creating brilliance again. It uses sound, light, electricity and scene restoration. In the exhibition hall, there are the group sculptures of Shaoshan special branch led by Mao Zedong, the group sculptures and scene sculptures of Party building, and the scene sculptures of Mao Fuxuan's hidden struggle in the cave, which reflect the development history of Shaoshan special branch of the Communist Party of China from scratch and from small to large. Mao Yushi, Secretary of the general Party branch of Shaoshan village, said that the party history exhibition hall would be built into a good classroom for the masses, especially teenagers, to carry out patriotism education and revolutionary tradition education.
