Where are the original positions of the five fingers?

Wuzhiyuan

Wuzhiyuan is an apt metaphor for the people of Zhenyuan for the beauty of their hometown. It is a unique topographic and landform feature here. The originally flat and vast Loess Plateau was cut into ravines formed by long-term erosion of rainwater into Qinpu, Qiuchi, Zhongyuan, Yuanfeng and Pingliang Caofeng into five long and narrow plains running from north to south, like people. The stretched five fingers are normal, so it is called "Five Fingers". Pingquan Town is located in the palm of the hand, Cao Feng is at the top of the thumb, Yuan Feng is at the index finger, Zhongyuan is at the middle finger, Qiu Chi is at the ring finger, and Qin Pu is at the little finger. Although it does not have the lush beauty of the Jianghuai Plain, it has the plump charm of Dong Zhiyuan and is an integral part of Longdong's granary. It has charming scenery, suitable climate, fresh air and broad vision. There is no sweltering heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. In the early morning, the rooster sings loudly, and a red sun rises from the east. At this time, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of watching the sunrise like Mount Tai; in the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the sunset covers the wilderness with dazzling gold; in the fields , the late returning shepherd boys sang, shouted, and made noises as they returned to their homes. The village was filled with smoke. The braying of cattle and sheep and the voices of women calling for their children were intertwined, forming a harmonious and beautiful pastoral scene. People are intoxicated.

Wuzhiyuan is located in a pass. In ancient times, it was the western gate guarding the Central Plains. It was the only place to go from Guanzhong to the northwest counties. Its geographical location is very important. The ancient sites left over from history indicate that the economy and culture of the Chinese nation have been quite developed as far back as the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Wuzhiyuan is also an integral part of it. Dujiazhai, the original Fengcheng God's Temple, was the seat of Anding County in the Han Dynasty, Yuanzhou in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the Zhenrong Army. The official roads were smooth, the post stations were connected, and the hundreds of miles of camps led directly to the outside world. It was not only a fortress for garrison defense, but also an important passage of the ancient Silk Road. One, Kyoto - with constant inspections and constant traffic of merchants and camel caravans, its prosperity and development was quite famous in the Han and Tang Dynasties. "Book of Han: Biography of the Western Regions" says that pavilions were set up in the Han Dynasty. From Dunhuang to Yanze in the west, pavilions were often built, one of which was Wu Pavilion. This shows that Wutingzhan, 3 miles east of Zhongyuan Town, was the first gateway to the northwest in the Han Dynasty and an important post station. Although it is now beyond recognition and turned into ruins, the majesty of its towering earthen pavilions, piers, barriers and open and spacious city sites still remains. "Book of Sui Geography" records that at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Qiugu County was established in Qiuchi. It was named because there was Qiugu in the territory. There are no ruins now, only Qiuchitou Village remains. It is also recorded in historical records that Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty visited Yuanzhou in the third year of Baoding and visited Wuzhiyuan; in the early Tang Dynasty, Qin King Li Shimin fought with Xue Ju here; Song generals Yang Wenguang and Qu Duan held troops here for many years, defending against the enemy. Yu Longyou has considerable military merit. All these installation records eloquently prove that the Wuzhiyuan, with its richness and danger, has nurtured many people with lofty ideals who have worked hard for the prosperity of the Chinese nation. In the process of countless national integrations, it has contributed to the development of the Chinese nation and social development. Made important contributions to progress.

The flames of war and smoke of history have not yet been exhausted here, and the civil war to encircle and suppress the Red Army has begun again. However, this war was different from any previous one. Although the people were harassed and paid a heavy price, it awakened the children of Wuzhiyuan. They took up arms for their own liberation, shed their lives, shed their blood, and embarked on the revolution. The path of struggle. In August 1935, the 25th Red Army led by Xu Haidong went on a long march to seize passes, and moved from Pingliang to Wuzhiyuan. They executed Chang Dang Xiaoxian of Zhenyuan County, who was extremely popular among the people, and the three southern towns (Pingquan, Zhongyuan, and Xincheng). Special Tax Commissioner Meng Weiduo and Xincheng Office Secretary Wang Xiwen rested for two days in Xincheng and Hiraizumi to collect food. At the same time, they held mass meetings and posted slogans to promote the principles and policies of uniting to resist Japan and save the country and the people, allowing the local poor people to see the light and see the future. hope. As a result, the proletariat's struggle to stand up and seek liberation was raging. The first one to wake up was Wang Zihou. When the Red Army passed by during the Long March, he led the masses to welcome them, arranged food and accommodation, and helped purchase supplies. Later he joined the 0 and went to Yan'an to study with Liu Zijian. After returning, he actively organized the National Salvation Association and developed and expanded it. Underground party organization. He sold his land, purchased a pistol, fought resolutely against the local reactionaries, and became one of the flag-bearers of the revolution in Longdong. He made an indelible contribution to the establishment of the red regime in Zhenyuan and the victory of the revolutionary cause.

On November 19, 1939, under the leadership of the underground party organization, more than 1,000 party members from Wuzhiyuan crowded into the county town and demanded to organize people's armed forces, train self-defense forces, and carry out anti-Japanese activities. This is Sensational mass-incident in Nansan Town. This was the first time in the history of Zhenyuan that such a massive mass demonstration caused extreme panic to the government. The county government had to accept the legitimate demands of the masses. However, shortly afterwards, they betrayed their faith, carried out large-scale arrests and suppression, and threw bloody butcher knives at the revolutionary masses. Wang Tianlin, Chen Sanxing, Xu Wanen, and Kang Xiye were buried alive in Xifeng, Zhao Chongyu was shot dead, and Luo Jianzhang was imprisoned. The brutal suppression by the reactionaries did not frighten the awakened masses. They went underground or traveled to the north of the county to continue their revolutionary struggle.

In the history of Zhenyuan Revolution, Wuzhiyuan is a shining place. It was the first place to be bathed in the rain, dew and sunshine of the Party, where the Party organizations developed the fastest and the struggle was the strongest. Two of the five early party branches in Zhenyuan County were located here. Wuzhi was the birthplace of Zhenyuan's red regime and deservedly so. It dedicated its outstanding sons to the revolution such as Wang Tianlin, Chen Sanxing, Xu Wanen, Zhao Chongyu, Luo Jianzhang, Kang Xiye, Yan Shengjia, etc.; it gave birth to many steadfast backbones such as Wang Zihou, Li Yixiang, Wang Haiqing, Liu Zijian, Chen Tianxiang, etc. . Although these revolutionary ancestors have passed away, their unyielding spirit of struggle and dedication, which they sacrificed their lives in the difficult years, have always been engraved in the hearts of the people in their hometown and have become spiritual pillars and personality models for future generations.

Today, the people of Wuzhiyuan, with full enthusiasm and strong fighting spirit, follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, transform the mountains and rivers, create greater glory, and write a new chapter in life.
