Main attractions

Biaofang square

When you come to the entrance of the core area of Zhang Lan's hometown, the first thing you see is a square sculpture. From its simple appearance, it is not difficult to think of Mr. Zhang Lan's conduct. It is a square stone named after Mr. Zhang Lan. The surface square stones are all made of bluestone, with a height of 6.83 meters and a width of 3 meters. The base design is 83cm, which means that Mr. Zhang Lan is 83 years old. The wavy pattern on the base signifies Mr. Lan's word "Lan" and his magnificent life. On the front of the square stone is engraved Chairman Mao's high praise of Mr. Zhang Lan, "the elder is the oldest in the world!". During the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Chongqing, Mr. Zhang Lan showed a high degree of democratic spirit and unique political views. Chairman Mao couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Biao, you are a flag. It will work wherever you put it, but no one else can. The elder is the oldest in the world Why does chairman Mao compare Mr. Zhang Lan to the greatest old man in the world? Mr. Zhang Lan is a veteran of the three dynasties and the earliest group of democratic personages. Although he was born in the late Qing Dynasty and was a scholar in the examination, he is not at all a relic of the Qing Dynasty. He led the road protection movement and promoted the success of the 1911 Revolution. Later, he led the NLD to make great contributions to the cause of national peace and democracy. At that time, there was a saying that those who got Zhang Lan got the world. Many revolutionary comrades have great respect for this old man. Mr. Zhang Lan's words are square, and "old man" is also the honorific name given to Mr. Zhang Lan by comrades such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De. On the back of the square stone is an inscription by Zhang Meiying, Mr. Zhang Lan's granddaughter, current Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic League and vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference. These eight gold-plated characters are the meaning of Mr. Zhang Lan's Square and the true portrayal of his life.

NLD central forest

The plum garden covers a total area of 27 mu, covering more than 20 varieties and more than 1000 plants, including apricot plum, momei, CanXue, gulihong, etc. They were all transported back from Zhejiang and Fujian. Some plum blossoms are rare in China, such as the elm leaf plum in the garden. I'm afraid they can only be seen here in Sichuan. Zhang Meiying, vice president, also inscribed the "NLD central forest" on this piece of sculpture. Meiyuan is the central forest of the Democratic League, which was donated by the Central Committee of the Democratic League. Why plant plum blossoms all over the central forest of the Democratic League? Since ancient times, plum blossom has been a symbol of the Chinese nation's firmness and integrity, which is popular among literati. Lu You's chanting of plum blossom "has no intention of struggling for spring, but is envied by all. Scattered into mud, grinding for dust, only incense as before Mr. Zhang Lan also loved plum blossom very much in his life. He once expressed his love in the poem "dream of bamboo flourishing in Nanxi villa". In the poem, Mr. Zhang said that he dreamed of coming home and saw plum blossoms growing all around the house. He hoped to go home and spend the cold together with Mei. However, Mr. Wang has been working all his life for the cause of democracy, and this wish has never been realized. On the occasion of his 140th birthday, the villagers specially set aside 27 mu of land to plant various kinds of plum blossoms, which has fulfilled his old people's wish. The flowering period of plum blossom in plum garden is mostly in March and April, which is the birthday of Mr. Zhang. The central forest of the Democratic League planted plum blossoms to inherit the spirit of the old. Chairman Mao's poems on plum blossom at that time fit Mr. Zhang Lan's spirit of plum blossom very well: "beauty does not fight for spring, but only spring. When the flowers are blooming, she laughs in the bush. " Mr. Zhang Lan is a dedicated Democrat and Patriot with consistent words and deeds and plain life. He always maintains the selfless and noble quality. This precious quality, he himself called "no desire.". In the words of Chairman Mao Zedong, it is a spirit without selfishness. This kind of spiritual quality is consistent with that of plum blossom, which symbolizes perseverance, indomitability, bravery and self-improvement. Today, when we visit the plum garden, we should not only cherish the memory of Mr. Wu xuetuyan, Linghan Liuxiang and gaofengliangjie, but also learn from his self-improvement and indomitable plum character. There is a small square here. In the future, a circular sculpture with the theme of "poetry corridor" will be built here to show Mr. Zhang Lan's representative poems. In the process of cultural supplement, the scenic spot will show Mr. Zhang Lan's life in the form of various sculptures on both sides of the sightseeing road.
