It was born in the most difficult period of the Anti Japanese war. In 1939, Lu Zizhe, Jiang xiqian and other celebrities from Shaoyang County established a "Hunan Yingshi junior vocational school" in line with the needs of the times and the purpose of "establishing schools, cultivating talents and relieving dropouts". In November 1940, it was named "Hunan private junior middle school". In the autumn of 1944, the Japanese invaded wufengpu, and the school was forced to stop. In the spring of 1945, in order to avoid the harassment of the Japanese aggressors, Zeng Sanyi moved back to the original site of wufengpu until the surrender of the Japanese aggressors in the autumn. In 1953, the school was taken over by the people's Government of Shaoyang County and renamed "Shaoyang County Junior High School". In 1958, the school was upgraded to a complete middle school and changed its name to "the second middle school of Shaoyang County". In 1969, wufengpu commune took over the county run middle school, which was renamed "wufengpu commune middle school".

Culture

brief introduction

Wufengpu has traditional culture such as "Zhatai opera" and "blue calico". Among them, "blue calico" is the national intangible cultural heritage, "Zhatai opera" is the municipal intangible cultural heritage.

Blue calico

More than 1000 years ago, people in wufengpu town first created "blue calico". In April 2008, "blue calico" was officially approved as a national intangible cultural heritage. Blue printed cloth is a traditional hollow out white paste anti dye printing, also known as indigo cloth, commonly known as "medicine spot cloth" and "watering cloth". It has a history of 1300 years. It was originally printed and dyed with blue grass. The blue printing cloth is made of lime and soybean powder, which is made of cotton, hand-made textile, engraving and scraping. According to the records of Shaoyang County annals and Baoqing Shenglan, during the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, the cotton textile industry rose in Shaoyang. On the basis of Miao Yao wax printing, Shaoyang people initiated the printing and dyeing method of replacing wax with soybean milk lime. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the well-developed land and water transportation, Zijiang reached the Yangtze River directly, and Wuhan had a special baoqingbu wharf. At that time, Shaoyang merchants gathered and became the largest production, printing and dyeing, and sales center of blue calico in South China and even southwest China, known as the hometown of blue calico. Since the late period of the Republic of China, Shaoyang blue printed cloth has gradually faded out of modern life because it was replaced by machine-made foreign cloth and modern printed and dyed cloth. At the beginning of liberation, there were 8 large dyeing workshops and more than 30 medium and small dyeing workshops in Shaoyang County, but in 1986, the last blue printing and dyeing factory closed down in wufengpu town of Shaoyang County. Shaoyang blue calico is on the verge of extinction, and there are only a few old artists in the world. Since 2003, Chen Kewen, the head of wufengpu cultural station, has been investigating and collecting the lost blue calico in wufengpu town. In 2004, in the skylight of an old artist's house, he found a set of old blue calico printing plates and patterns. They organize materials, shoot blue calico work flow, help to recover printing and dyeing workshops, help old artists re operate old art, ask old artists to teach skills, help apprentices, inherit and protect ancient traditional folk culture. With the unprecedented attention paid to the folk intangible cultural heritage, Shaoyang blue calico, which has been covered with dust for a long time, has been awakened and walked out of the world.

Zatai Opera

"Zha story" in wufengpu Town, also known as "Zha Tai opera", is a folk art popular in wufengpu Town, baicang town and the ancient city of Shaoyang in Shaoyang County. It uses the art of "Zha" to depict the main characters in some drama stories, making the figures vivid. According to the records of Shaoyang County annals, Baoqing Prefecture annals and Baoqing Ranger, it is said that more than 200 years ago, the ancient and prosperous wufengpu town was suddenly burned by fire. At this time, the benevolent "fire god Bodhisattva" appeared and rescued the people in time, avoiding a devastating disaster. In order to thank the "God of fire", the "three star Temple" is specially built, in which the statue of "God of fire" is provided, and the birthday of God of fire is scheduled to be held on June 19 every year for sacrifice. This activity has been handed down from generation to generation and has been popular till now. Especially after the reform and opening up, this ancient art reappeared in the past, and was highly praised by the leaders and the masses in many major celebrations in the city and county. Therefore, wufengpu has become the hometown of story art. Zha story is also a kind of high-altitude art, and its main operation process is: first select the boy and girl who have courage, good appearance, certain performance ability and high-altitude emergency ability. Using the principle of mechanical balance, he made up and dressed himself into various dramatic characters, folded up and down, tied up on a 4-meter-long iron pole with a circumference of 14 cm, inserted into a 1-meter-long, wide and high color box, and then performed along the street by eight strong men. the main works of Wufeng puzha story are mostly based on folk stories and classical literature works, such as biography of white snake, cutting wood with bangs, journey to the west, Yang Jiajiang, etc. Wufeng puzha story is favored by people because of its characteristics of "surprise", "strangeness" and "danger". However, under the impact of modern civilization and the fact that most of the old artists are old and the younger generation have no intention of learning, the story of Wufeng puzha is facing no successor, which urgently needs our rescue and protection.
