history

Xinning has a long history. According to the unearthed stone tools, large-scale human activities appeared as early as 4000 years ago. In the fifth year of Yuanshuo (124bc) of the Western Han Dynasty, the Fuyi Marquis state was established, so the local people called Zijiang in the county Fuyi River, "Fuyi" came from "Fuyi". In the 25th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1155 AD), Xinning County was established, which means that "after appeasing Kangding, there must be a new Ning county." Xinning is located at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi, adjacent to Guilin in Guangxi in the South and Zhangjiajie in the north. It has unique landscape and unique scenery, but it is unknown to the world. Local people hate to say that "Langshan is good, Langshan is good," raised in the boudoir, people do not know. ". In fact, from the perspective of traditional agricultural economy, Xinning, known as "eight mountains, half water and one field", is a poor land. Although it is located between Hunan and Guangxi, it is not connected by big rivers and rivers. It is far from the central city, and it has never become a major traffic road. The agricultural and commercial economy has always been very backward. It seems reasonable that Langshan is not known to the world. The local people know the beauty of Langshan Mountain, and they want to do something about it. From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, the local government organized several investigations on the landscape of Langshan Mountain, but nothing came to an end. In 1989, Tang Jibin, in his early thirties, was appointed deputy head of Langshan Township in Xinning County. "From then on, I wanted to engage in tourism development, and began to implement Closing Hillsides for afforestation in the whole township. At that time, the common people did not understand it, and the cadres did not understand it. They thought that I, the head of the township, should focus on the main business, and the main business was agricultural production. It seemed that I was engaged in something else." Tang Jibin told reporters, "at that time, I was really pessimistic about the agricultural work in the village. On the contrary, I had great confidence in the peerless landscape like camel peak. I believed that people would come to visit when it was well done." Camel's peak is a Danxia Mountain rising in the fields in Langshan Township, with a relative height of more than 200 meters. The situation of the mountain is very steep. It looks like a camel in the distance. When you climb on the camel's peak, you can see everywhere. There is a vast expanse of heaven and earth. On April 17, 1991, the "Preparatory Committee for the construction of Langshan natural park" was established in Langshan Township, and Tang Jibin served as the director of the Preparatory Committee. This is a sign that Langshan development has entered into real action. Up to now, the people and cadres of Langshan Township still have a deep impression on Tang Xiangchang. They say that he dares to fight with the people for closing the mountain for afforestation, and that he is constantly arguing about the establishment of Langshan natural park and slapping the table at the Party committee. Tang Jibin, who is now the director of the agricultural products office of Xinning County (enjoying the treatment of vice county level), was also deeply impressed by the development of Langshan at that time, "because I suffered a lot on this issue. When I went to the county, people didn't call me the head of the township, they called me" the head of the garden ". He was the head of the natural park, but in Hunan dialect," the head of the garden "was" the head of the county. " On August 20, 1991, after township head Tang Jibin was once again ridiculed by his colleagues in the county, he wrote down such self encouraging words in his work notes: "there are many bumpy roads in the world, and those who struggle and don't retreat will become great things.". However, he was soon transferred from Langshan township. In May 1992, a hill development office was set up in Xinning County to take charge of the tourism development of Langshan. According to the person in charge at that time, the development of mountain tourism from the township level to the county level started under the background of various upsurge of development in the whole country after Deng Xiaoping's speech in the south. "At that time, the mountain development office conducted a general survey of the landscape of the whole County for two months, so that we really realized the value and status of Langshan scenery.". He gave an example. At that time, the staff of the Hill Office went to bajiaozhai to investigate. Even the farmers in the local village didn't know what special scenery there was on the Chu mountain, and they didn't understand why the village was named "bajiaozhai" by their ancestors. However, only after the investigators went up the mountain did they find that eight closely connected peaks surrounded the stockade, and the shape of the peaks was unusual. They were like eight giant whales in the sea in the clouds. The investigation team named this landscape. Not long ago, when reporters came to bajiaozhai, even the local village children could shake these "doubts" to the head. Of course, the purpose of "reasoning" is to ask you to buy the small things they have. If you don't buy them, you will follow them all the way. It's really "tough for kids", but the things are not expensive. However, for tourists, the advantage of "imp" is "childlike innocence". They told a story that reporters couldn't hear in the local area: bajiaozhai used to span Hunan and Guangxi provinces. On the other side of the mountain is Ziyuan County in Guangxi, and on the other side of the mountain is Xinning in Hunan. In the past, both sides had little interest in this place where food does not grow. Therefore, they have always been at peace. When it comes to tourism development, both sides began to fight. As a result, the temples on both sides burned each other. Both sides set up mountain gates and sold tickets. Tourists had to pay twice. However, this problem has been solved, whether tourists from Guangxi or Hunan mountain, just buy a ticket. In a word, the tickets of the two provinces are universal. In fact, in the reporter's opinion, this is another taste of visiting bajiaozhai. When you travel in Xinning, you will often hear local people saying that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Langshan's landscape is the best in Guilin". This sentence is said by Ai Qing, a famous modern poet. I'm afraid Ai Qing didn't expect that a word she said casually would become a folk song in other countries in more than half a century. In October 1938, not long after Ai Qing wrote the famous "Dayanhe, my nanny", he moved to Xinning with Hunan Provincial Rural normal school to avoid war. Here he wrote the famous poem "I love this land": "why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so much. " In the poet's eyes, the mountain has become the epitome of the motherland in the disaster. Undoubtedly, the beauty of the mountain enlightens the poet's deep feelings. Ai Qing told his students at that time that there was no doubt about how good Langshan was. But Ai Qing's words, which may have been unintentional, were remembered by a few students who had intentions at that time, although there was no record in black and white. in the mid-1980s, when the government carried out the investigation on the scenery of Langshan Mountain, an old local student surnamed Ma said with a loud voice that teacher Ai Qing said: "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Langshan's landscape is the best in Guilin." For the sake of caution, in 1986, the Xinning County Government specially sent someone to Beijing with the mountain scenery video tape to seek the poet's confirmation. When they saw the "general stone", Ai Qing's children asked, is this giant stone so like a general, man-made? Ai Qing said, "born, born." At that time, the cadre who went to Beijing for verification told reporters: "when Ai Qing played the video at his home, he was very excited and said that he had never forgotten the mountain. Because of Langshan, Ai Qing and I became friends in the past this time, Ai Qing happily turned the oral chant of half a century ago into a historical fact, but changed "Jia Guilin" into "Sai Guilin". Ai Qing stressed to the visitors that "Sai" means competition. This painting has become a treasure of Langshan town. Nowadays, Ai Qing's words are catchy even to the local children in the mountains, which seems to be a local folk song. Why do my eyes often contain tears? Because I love this land deeply -- "the poet is gone, but the poet's voice will be passed on for a long time. Langshan is lucky.

Jiangjun County

In history, apart from literati and poets, Xinning people didn't pay much attention to the romantic landscape in front of their homes. There were many mountain people and green heroes who fought against violence. Xinning folk style is fierce and martial arts is popular. In the late Qing Dynasty, for Xinning people, the mountain left too many and too deep memories of suffering, and all of this originated from the birth of Hong Xiuquan on the other side of the mountain and Zeng Guofan on the other side of the mountain. Because of its geographical location, the mountain became the front line and battlefield for the "Chu Yong Xiang army" to block the "Taiping army". Therefore, Chu Yong, the leader of "Xiang army", was born here. In the process of suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, more than 200 civil and military generals, such as Jiang Zhongyuan, the famous valiant general, and Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, appeared in the "Chu Yong" of Xinning. Xinning became a real "general county" in the late Qing Dynasty. Today, the local people told the tourists that this was due to the fengshui of the "general stone" on the Bank of Fuyi river at the foot of the mountain. "Jiangjun stone" is a stone pillar formed from Danxia landform to the late stage. It has an elevation of nearly 400 meters and a clear height of 75 meters. Except for a little small at the top, it is equally thick up and down with a circumference of 40 meters. It is located by the Fuyi River in Langshan village, Langshan town. When you take a boat to Guansheng stone, you can see that the "general" is carrying the blue sky, facing the blue water, holding his head high and swallowing the mountains and rivers. Most of the historical figures in Xinning are concentrated in Taiping
