Ancient locust in the temple

It is neither graceful like willow nor gloomy like pines and cypresses. However, it dares to compare with the ancient locust tree on Wuling platform. It is like a giant umbrella to cover the sun and wind and rain, protecting the clouds under the tree He is a witness of the promotion of Buddhism in Lingzhi temple. According to the old man, a young man went to the old locust tree to have a rest and was stung by a wasp on the tree. The young man went home and poured oil into the hole of the tree to light a fire. The fire burned for three days and three nights in succession. He thought that both the wasp and the tree would be burned to death. But the old locust tree, instead of being burned to death, grew more vigorous. Over the years, no one can solve the mystery of why this ancient locust tree is still green in the fire, so people call it shenhuai. Now it is even more spectacular, with a canopy covering an area of more than 160 square meters.

The idea of research and development originated from the comments in the exercise book.

Guo Lingxia, a sixth grade Chinese teacher of Wulipu primary school in Congtai District of Handan City, told reporters that "Ganoderma lucidum" was jointly developed by her and Han Shaojie, a villager of Wulipu village in Handan city. Guo Lingxia, a primary school teacher, created the "Ganoderma lucidum style". Han Shaojie made it into a computer font, which was uploaded to the Internet on the 7th for free download. As soon as the font was launched, it was popular among netizens. "Han Shaojie is the parent of a classmate in my class who runs a computer studio." Guo Lingxia said that in May this year, when Han Shaojie looked at the comments she wrote in her children's exercise book, he felt that the handwriting was very good, so he negotiated with her to develop this kind of character into a common computer font on the Internet. It took half a year to develop the new font, Guo Lingxia said. After that, she wrote more than 6000 commonly used Chinese characters once. "Every day from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock, she can only write 20 or 30 Chinese characters that she is satisfied with. I still remember the words "concave" and "convex". I wrote them 60 or 70 times before I was satisfied. " For the written words, Guo Lingxia will rush to Han Shaojie's studio every day before going to work. Han Shaojie will scan them to the computer, and then use software programs to cut the words into hollowed out shape, and then carry out post debugging and repair. "It's a very complicated job. It requires care and patience." Han Shaojie added in an interview yesterday that he had to open training classes to teach students during the day and could only do this work in his spare time. Therefore, the research and development of this font was not completed until November. The name "Lingzhi" is to promote Handan. Guo Lingxia said in an interview, "in fact, in October, 6763 commonly used Chinese characters were basically produced by computer, but I'm not satisfied with more than 700 of them, so I rewrite them again." On November 7, the font developed by Guo Lingxia and Han Shaojie was completed. After discussion, they decided to name the font "Lingzhi" from Lingzhi temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in Handan. Later, Han Shaojie uploaded "Ganoderma lucidum" to the search website for free. It is understood that this is in addition to the "Nangong style," rarely named after the name of the computer font. Han Shaojie said yesterday, "before, all kinds of computer fonts were mostly developed by companies or teams. They were mainly used to sell for money. However, the" Ganoderma lucidum "developed by us doesn't charge for downloading." For this reason, some people say that they are too stupid. In this regard, Han Shaojie said, "Ganoderma lucidum" is the embodiment of Handan culture, only free for users to download, in order to make this font get faster and wider spread. "The purpose of our research and development of" Ganoderma lucidum "is to let more people know about Handan and thus become interested in Handan culture."
