Dayuan Village is located in Fengxiang District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. Guanxue culture, folk culture and other historical and cultural deposits are profound. In recent years, Dayuan Village has relied on excellent local cultural resources to vigorously implement the strategy of "revitalizing the village through culture" by accelerating the construction of public cultural service bases such as Shehuo Art Museum, "Mozhai Temple", Jinxueyuan, statues, and ancestral monuments.

History and culture are revitalized

According to historical records, Zhang Jie, a master of Guanxue in the Ming Dynasty, named Lifu and Mozhai, was born in 1421 AD in Zhengyuanli, Fengxiang (today's Dayuan Village )people. He was very smart since he was a child. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 24 and served as a tutor in Zhaocheng, Shanxi (now Zhaocheng Town, Hongdong County). Jian Dao was a low-level official. At that time, Zhang Mozhai had already become famous and could definitely seek a better position.

At that time, many people persuaded Zhang Mozhai not to take office because of the lack of salary and distance, but Zhang Mozhai believed that "although the salary is small, it is still enough to support his family." At the same time, Zhang Mozhai advocated the Confucian spirit of "advocating practical learning and applying it to the world" and took up his post with great enthusiasm. In his teaching position, he worked conscientiously and fulfilled his duties, "only focusing on teaching and teaching people." From then on, he became famous and educated the people.

After Mr. Mo Zhai’s parents passed away, he never resigned from office to educate the local people. During the period when he resigned and started to study, the imperial court recruited him to resume his official position. Some of the censors recommended him to serve as a scholar, but Zhang Mozhai declined them one by one. He did not seek fame and gain, and was praised by later generations. He devoted all his energy to teaching and teaching, taking it as his own responsibility to educate the children in his hometown. He was diligent in the study of the "Five Classics" ("Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn"). He often read by candlelight at night, forgetting to eat and sleep. , his insights became more and more profound, and he was respected as "Mr. Five Classics" by academic circles. Over the past hundreds of years, governor Ruan Qin, prefect Zhao Bo, county magistrate Zhang Shiying and others, as well as villagers in Dayuan Village, have successively built five ancestral halls for Zhang Mozhai, which is an affirmation of Mr. Mozhai's achievements.

Feng Zhonghu, secretary of the Party branch of Dayuan Village, introduced to reporters that Dayuan Village, Tianjiazhuang Town, as the origin of the ink studio culture, has a long history and profound cultural heritage.

The village party branch excavated and sorted out the life story of Zhang Jie, a great scholar of Guanxue in the Ming Dynasty. Adhering to his spiritual connotations of benevolence, filial piety, diligence and self-cultivation, in order to commemorate Mr. Zhang Jie, he promoted his peace, integrity, self-denial and devotion to public service. For the sake of the people, in September 2020, more than 1 million yuan was invested to build the "Mozhai Temple" with an indoor area of ??163 square meters, becoming a municipal-level anti-corruption education demonstration base, bringing traditional culture into a new era.

In order to promote the integrated development of cultural construction and rural tourism, Dayuan Village also built a school garden, a statue of Mr. Zhang Jie, and an ancestral monument, which injected strong impetus into the rapid development of rural cultural tourism. In an atmosphere that advocates learning, reading village history and reviewing the stories of "Mr. Five Classics" has become a fashion for most people.

The villagers would go to the academy after dinner. Many of the family tradition and family mottos are familiar to them. Dayuan Village is also known as the "home of scholarly families and etiquette". In 2020, Dayuan Village was evaluated and recognized by the State Forestry and Grassland Administration as one of the first batch of national forest villages.

Culture helps rural revitalization become a replicable new model

Nowadays, focusing on the rural revitalization strategy, we continue to promote the "combination of intelligence and will" and explore the "one village, one product" type of "characteristic cultural resources" + Literary Propaganda" model, excavating, developing and activating cultural resources, and carrying out various cultural and entertainment activities with great vigor, enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the villagers.

By participating in training, villagers in this village established a greenhouse selenium-enriched spring snow peach orchard, which was displayed and sold on the Internet. Their income increased several times, and their lives became more and more prosperous. Murakami is also planning supporting industries and projects such as tourist hotels and farmhouses, and cultural development is paving a broad road for rural revitalization.
