Manbu Mayang Fushou Square

In my picturesque hometown Mayang, there is a beautiful Fushou Square, which is spacious, majestic and beautiful. It is a large square integrating residence, shopping, assembly, exhibition, leisure and entertainment.

Now every time I go back to my hometown Mayang, I always visit Fushou Square. What I have seen and heard is emotional and intoxicating!

Fushou Square is named after Mayang's long fushou culture. From ancient times to the present, even if dynasties change, people's persistent pursuit of "happiness" and "longevity" has never slackened. In the traditional culture of China, "blessing" and "longevity" are the most respected. Fushou culture grew up in Mayang until it was splendid, with a long history and a long history.

Mayang people's unique world outlook and values formed in the process of pursuing longevity are a true portrayal of Mayang people's secularity and hope, showing Mayang people's concern for life and pursuit of happiness, and constructing a cultural form with the theme of happiness and longevity.

Therefore, Mayang Miao Township is known as "an ecological blessed land and a paradise for longevity". As the old saying goes, life is 70 years old, but in Mayang, it is common for people to reach 80 years old. Mayang has a total population of 375,000 and an average life expectancy of 75.6 years. There are 79 centenarians in Mayang, accounting for 32/100000 of the total population of Mayang, far exceeding the standard that the population over 100 years old accounts for 7500 of the total population in longevity areas stipulated by the United Nations Population Organization. There are 5430 elderly people aged 80 to 99, accounting for 1.46% of Mayang's total population. There are 48,320 elderly people over 60 years old, accounting for 13% of Mayang's total population. These indicators have reached or exceeded the audit standards of Changshou Town. Therefore, Mayang is the only minority autonomous county in China that has won the title of "Longevity Town of China".

Mayang Fushou culture, as a folk cultural form, is a treasure of Chinese Fushou culture with profound connotations, diverse forms of expression and rich connotations. Including Mayang's material culture, social culture, spiritual culture, folk culture, language culture and other social customs and habits with the theme of "longevity". The material culture here is a unique material complex with the theme of "longevity", which consists of Mayang people's clothing, food, shelter and transportation and the materialized forms of handicraft production, such as houses, costumes and farming methods. The social culture here refers to the clan, clan, clan, village, town and other non-governmental organizations in Mayang's social life. These organizations are fixed in a conventional way, with "longevity" as the content, which is used to maintain the bond of social relations. Spiritual culture refers to people's folk ideology with "folk customs" as its content, including Mayang people's belief in "longevity", religion, ethics, literature and art, etc. Language and culture are the media for people to maintain interpersonal relationships in social life.

In order to promote economic development, Mayang County Party Committee and government clearly see that Mayang has no obvious advantages in location and industry and agriculture, but it has beautiful scenery, superior living conditions, many long-lived elderly people and profound longevity culture. They believe that in order to accelerate the economic development of Mayang, we must highlight our own characteristics and vigorously carry forward the longevity culture, so as to attract domestic and foreign attention. As a result, they opened a number of longevity food such as Jinjiang Fushou Liquor and Jinjiang Shoutao, developed China Fushou City and Shouxing Corridor, and successfully held the first China Mayang Fushou Culture Festival, Fushou Culture Festival and China Mayang Fushou Culture Forum, which attracted many merchants to invest in Mayang. In order to make Fushou culture form a momentum and have a far-reaching impact, they also use various forms to carry out publicity activities. For example, creating a song ode to longevity, setting up large-scale longevity billboards, and making longevity inscriptions with stones.

The construction of Fushou Square is one of the ways to vigorously promote Fushou culture, build Fushou industry, advocate Fushou life and promote the harmonious development of economy and society.

Fushou Square, which starts from the pedestrian street in the west, is a unified national building with two floors. There is a strong antique, and the red door overhangs the eaves. Walking on the pedestrian street during the day is like stepping on just visiting and returning to the flourishing age of centuries. At night, those small shops with folk customs on the pedestrian street are full of flavor against the neon. The bright facade decoration reflects the glittering light, and people who walk at night seem to wander in the crystal palace.

When you walk into Fushou Square, you see a wide and magnificent square. Whether it's the morning at dawn or the evening when the lights are on, you will see a sea of people in the square, which is very lively.

Every day, adults, children and old people come to the square in unison. Some middle-aged women began to dance in the square, and beautiful folk songs attracted more and more people to join them. Dancers gathered in the center of the square and became the most beautiful scenery in the whole Fushou Square.

Most of the people who come to Fushou Square are old people, but there are also many young people and children. I saw some old people walking, some chatting and some flying kites with their little grandchildren. How uncomfortable! Some young people and children play together in groups of three and five, which is a harmonious scene.

During the day, people hold hands and take a leisurely walk in the square, drawing a beautiful scenery line. When walking, people can not only exercise, but also enjoy the rolling waves and beautiful scenery on both sides of Jinjiang.

In the square, some old people sit leisurely in the long corridor to rest, some overlook in the small pavilion, some are doing various fitness exercises on fitness equipment, some are taking pictures by Xixi Bridge, and some are sitting on the lawn chatting, telling jokes, chatting news and laughing endlessly.

In the square, the happiest people are the children. Some of them ride prams, some play bumper cars, some skate, some skate and some jump rope. Others are playing naughty castle and having a good time.

Look! In the square, there are children playing with gyroscopes. Today's gyroscopes are not wooden gyroscopes that we made ourselves when we were young, but high-tech gyroscopes made of metal, which spin all kinds of colors like blooming flowers.

In the square, some children are chasing and playing, fascinated by it. There are also children flying kites. Kites in the sky are colorful, including swallows, goldfish, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and Doraemon ... flying over the square like a giant cloth, changing and spectacular.

The center of the square is a paradise for children. Roller skaters shuttle through the crowd like barracuda; Occasionally, there are five or six or seven-year-old novices, left and right, shivering and motionless like penguins, which is even more interesting.

At first glance, the Jinjiang Pavilion on the flood dike on the east side of the square is the remains of ancient buildings, which has the charm of Wang Tengting. Although it has never been inscribed by Wang Sun, its unique national style shows a pure beauty of liberal arts. Although it has the style of Yueyang Tower and is not supported by Ouyang's beautiful prose, its unique architectural taste does not lose a humanistic atmosphere.

Xixi Bridge on the south side of the square is full of stone pillars, with blue tiles and cornices, which are multi-layered and magnificent. The corridor in the bridge is carved with relief, painted with dragons and phoenixes, resplendent and magnificent, with beautiful flowers and plants and full of national flavor.

At the other end of Xixi Bridge, there is a 3-storey and 2-storey waterfront pearl, and several high-rise buildings with modern flavor have sprung up beside Jinjiang. Its tall and straight posture, like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen, looks down on every corner of the world, and it is difficult to hide its arrogance at night.

Look again, in the Woods and grass of the square, a group of white-haired old people, dressed in white, stood under two dense palm trees, playing Tai Ji Chuan attentively. Sweat oozed from their heads, and under the sunshine, they looked golden, but ignored them completely, still stretching their bodies rhythmically with beautiful music. What a healthy group of old people!

Fitness equipment is more lively, like a large open-air gym, sweating all kinds of sports.

One morning, I went for a walk in the square and saw many old people practicing Qigong. Some are climbing the parallel bars, some are running on the treadmill, some are practicing sit-ups on the sit-ups board, some are practicing bicycles on the fitness car, and some are playing badminton leisurely in the square. From time to time, several women mingled with the children and practiced duets seriously, which was dazzling.

The square has a beautiful environment and is also a good place for young people to fall in love and meet their boyfriends and girlfriends. This is also the case. There are pairs of figures beside pavilions, lampstands, rivers, willows and rocks. The more secluded and inaccessible places, the better their space. Their appearance and existence also add ambiguity and sweetness to Fushou Square.

One morning, I went for a walk in Fushou Square with a comrade-in-arms who had changed jobs and went home. Although it is early winter, the sun shines warmly on the earth, which makes people particularly comfortable.

When we entered the square, we vaguely heard beautiful songs coming from the Woods. This song attracts us to the south corner of the square like a magnet.

Ah, it's so lively here! It turned out to be a group of old people singing!

I saw several middle-aged and elderly men and women in their fifties and sixties in the Woods, on the lawn and by the dam, holding a wireless microphone in their right hand and doing movements in their left hand, singing and dancing at the same time. There are several stereos on the ground, some solo and some duet; Some people sing folk songs, love songs, lanterns, flower drums and revolutionary songs, and they are very devoted and happy.

I can hear that the lyrics are written and sung by myself.

Brother sings:

Ask me to sing, I can sing,

Sing the golden rooster with the phoenix,

Sing unicorns with lions,

Sing a charming girl with a lover.

Duet:

Brother sings folk songs in jingle,

I wonder if Jiaomei is in the back.

It's not that love songs flirt with you,

Sing a folk song to relieve sadness.

Brother sings:

Jiao Juan was born really well,

Blue clothes, red shoes,

Two eyes like bronze mirrors,

Look up and light up nine streets.

Duet:

When sipping vegetables, you should sip cabbage hearts.

Ailang, a lover.

I'm a good man,

My sister's best candidate.

Brother sings:

Cordate telosma, cordate telosma,

Bees smell better when they meet flowers.

It's not that brother Qing doesn't miss you,

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

Duet:

Only girls want to be lang,

Beautiful and heartbroken.

Which means I don't miss you,

Murphy took Lang to the church.

Singing together, high spirits.

Around them, there are many old people watching and stopping to appreciate. Some sit on small benches, some sit on stones, some sit on the grass, and some stand leisurely with their hands crossed on their chests. Look how carefully they listen, sometimes talk, sometimes laugh, and how comfortable they are.

Sweet music and euphemistic voice are exciting, refreshing, exciting and intoxicating.

At the end of the song, the audience applauded warmly.

I inquired about the audience and learned that these old people who like singing are farmers and folk artists who go to the city to support the elderly in nearby rural areas, and most of them are farmers in nearby Gudapo. They are all around 60 years old, and there are a few old people. In their lives, young people with happy childhood and burning passion have experienced too many ups and downs. With firm belief and tenacious will, they courageously advanced from difficulties and hardships, struggled for the prosperity of the countryside and the prosperity of the motherland, and made contributions to socialist construction and reform and opening up.

After they went to the city to recuperate, they got together and sang songs, which became a part of their lives. Singing can help them find like-minded friends, get together and use singing to relieve loneliness, keep in good health, improve their health, purify their hearts, and use singing to recall the scene of that year, so that they can live younger and happier.

Speaking of Mayang folk songs, it has its own unique style. Usually mainly love songs, of course, there are also folk songs reflecting labor scenes. Such as digging tea folk songs, producing labor folk songs, repairing water and tamping folk songs. For example:

Productive labor is the most glorious,

Sweat and sweat turn rain into grain,

Rule the world diligently,

The country is rich and strong. But Mayang folk songs mostly sing love songs. Every year in March of spring or September of the Double Ninth Festival, you can hear the elegant and sweet songs of young men and women anytime and anywhere in Shan Ye. Mayang folk songs have the feeling of solo and the pleasure of chorus; There are duets, lyricism and lovers. Its lyrics are generally suitable for the time, place and characters at that time, and they are written and sung by themselves, and they are full of enthusiasm.

Love songs take "love" as the core, which are generally divided into three categories: mutual singing, mutual praise, mutual thinking, mutual love, mutual resentment, mutual persuasion and mutual sending, expressing the yearning and expectation of young men and women for a better love and a happy life. But folk songs, especially love songs, can only be sung in the wild in the mountains. It is forbidden to sing at home and not to let family members participate.

I walked around the square and thought it was really good. There are several flower beds in the square, which are full of exotic flowers and herbs, and several unknown colorful flowers and plants, which add a little color and vitality to the square.

In the square, the sculptures of Miao A-mei picking tea for spring and Miao guys playing lusheng are vivid, vivid and vivid.

However, the most conspicuous words in the square are "Fu" and "Shou" engraved on two huge stone tablets. It not only symbolizes Mayang's "longevity" culture and "the hometown of longevity in China", but also wishes Mayang people longevity, happiness, peace, auspiciousness, contentment, health and longevity, which is of far-reaching significance.

There are many trees and flowers in the square, and there are many varieties. It is said that some of them were transplanted from outside, which must have cost a lot of money. I was surprised to hear that millions of dollars had been invested in building this square. At first glance today, it really needs that much money.

After the cold winter, the winter jasmine first announced: "Spring is coming". Then, it is catkins that reveal the beauty of spring; In summer, the trees are lush, the sun is blocked by leaves, and the cool wind blows gently, making it extremely cool.

Stroll in the square and enjoy these beautiful scenery carefully. Don't have a charm Look, the grass beside the path is lovely and furry, just like a green carpet. A breeze blew, and the grass stretched out its arms, twisted its waist and danced as if to welcome me back as a wanderer! All kinds of flowers are not to be outdone. Clusters of Wan Nianhong are like burning flames, and look like small torches at close range. The morning glory beside them is also beautifully dressed, wearing colorful clothes, red as fire, pink as chardonnay, white as snow, and yellow as gold … They seem to be holding a grand suona concert! "wow! What flowers smell so sweet? " "It's osmanthus." I looked around and saw a white osmanthus tree smiling at me not far away!

There are graceful willows and tall camphor trees in the square, just like girls and soldiers, adding a beautiful scenery to the square.

I like autumn in Fushou Square best. At this time, golden leaves covered the forest path, and when walking on the road, I always felt that I had stepped into a carpeted palace. In winter, fairy-tale snowflakes fall and disperse overnight, making the whole square show the scenery of the north ... All the beautiful scenery only says to you: "Welcome to Miao Township!" " "

In the square, there are some cobblestone paths where several old people walk back and forth. This is very common in parks and squares in big cities. It is used to massage feet. There are several cobblestones and gravel roads in Fushou Square. I saw several old people and middle-aged women walking around the pebbles barefoot and with shoes in their hands. Some act like flies, others are cautious and prevaricated.

When I was a child, because the countryside was poor, my family had no money to buy shoes. I'm going up the mountain to cut wood and plant land, so I'm going barefoot, so I've developed a pair of iron feet. I don't think it should be a problem to walk barefoot on cobblestone paths. So, I took off my shoes and socks, and just stepped on pebbles barefoot, and my feet hurt like needles. Don't talk about walking, I dare not take a step, I can only put on my shoes and socks, which is lucky.

The northeast of the square is crowded with people, and the wide square is almost packed. The vendors selling popsicles struggled in the crowd, selling ice cream and shouting one after another; There are also some vendors who will seize business opportunities and drive children's toy cars to the square every night. Children driving all kinds of toy cars bumped into each other, laughing their heads off and clapping their hands.

Compared with these businessmen, a disabled foreign couple in the southwest corner is very sympathetic and commendable: they come from Guizhou, although they are disabled and live in poverty, but they are not willing to become beggars, relying only on a certificate from the local civil affairs department and a simple set of audio equipment to walk around "smartly" by the couple's songs; Listen, loud singing, sad melody and sincere feelings touched everyone present and became a special scenery in the square tonight. All the people present were moved by their spirit of self-improvement, and they lent a helping hand and gave generously. The couple nodded their thanks and thanked everyone emotionally with a sweet song. That song, like a magnet, attracts people deeply and won't leave for a long time.

The square is not only beautiful in scenery, vast in space, but also rich in nightlife. It is precisely because there are so many tidbits and colorful contents in your nightlife that you bring cool summer nights to the citizens!

As night falls, the square is brightly lit and all kinds of lights are elegant: six tall "star lights" make the square look like daylight and spectacular. "Crescent Moon Lantern" and "Lotus Leaf Lantern" are colorful, which makes people in a fairyland. There are many unknown lights ... colorful lights reflect colorful flowers, and colorful flowers set off colorful lights. We are in the world of lights and the ocean of flowers, just like walking into an endless picture. It's really "people travel in the world of pictures, and paintings walk in the scenery"!

Standing on the Jinjiang River in the east of Fushou Square, the willows are soft and the river breeze is blowing gently, which makes me feel cool and comfortable! Walking on the Great Wall-like dam, the night is getting more and more beautiful, with the wisps of Jinjiang on one side and the swaying charm of various branches in the square on the other.

At this time, the square presents another beautiful scenery. With the music, people began to dance happily, and the beautiful dance attracted many people to watch. In the open space in the center of the square, hundreds of women aged 30 to 40 to 50 or 60 are performing fitness dances.

Look! They show a graceful figure, which is fascinating. At the beginning of the music, they can't help but stand on tiptoe, twist their waist, gently shake their arms and hands, ups and downs, carefree and intoxicated with the rhythm of the music. The movement of their feet drives their arms to swing, just like jumping keys. The harmonious rhythm is full of tender and lovely elasticity, but also stable and confident. All they have to do is dance, just like a happy swan, stretching its usually stiff limbs, dancing heartily and enjoying the pleasure brought by stretching heartily.

A woman who loves dancing always keeps her heart young and her figure plump and slim. Ballet, jumping out of the nobleness and elegance of women; Classical dance, jumping out of women's composure; Modern dance, jumping out of the romantic flying of women; National dance, jumping out of the graceful charm of women.

They know how to dress. There are charming clothes in spring, elegant styles in summer, violets in autumn and dreamy colors in winter. All the year round, they all have different flowers in their bodies. Long-sleeved tulle dresses add to their colorful lives, and dance makeup adds to their young and romantic mentality. They know that dance is a kite that flies the soul. Women can only be more beautiful if they dance. A woman who is addicted to mahjong can't go into battle lightly; A woman who loves dancing can also show a different charm when walking on the road.

Women's temperament, charm and charm include what we usually call figure, image, natural beauty and artistic beauty. In fact, dance is an art that directly shows the beauty of the human body.

Women dancing in Fushou Square don't need their husbands' company. They have free flying blue sky and dancing moon pool. Women who love to dance, dance out the agility of their lives, dance out their plump bodies, and dance out their youth and beauty!

Go further and you will reach the most crowded place in the square. Looking north, you will see a huge electronic screen standing on the edge of the square. There are some red movies such as the Anti-Japanese War at ordinary times, which enrich the nightlife of the public. Looking around, life is full of various forms: some meditate cross-legged and concentrate on watching movies; Some families ride motorcycles and look at them with happy expressions; There are even a bunch of people sitting, standing, lying, lying at will ... varied and dizzying. When the film was broadcast to a wonderful moment, the audience suddenly became silent, their heads were motionless, and thousands of eyes were focused on the screen.

In addition to showing movies, various cultural activities are held from time to time on the outdoor stage just north of the square. At this point, the square jostled shoulder to shoulder, facing each other. Some of them go out with their families, some come together, and more are "stragglers." Take this year's "July 1st" celebration as an example. Not only the host's wonderful speech, but also a variety of military and civilian performances, including singing and dancing, solo and solo. The old ladies from various residential areas actually wore glamorous clothes and danced a modern dance, which set off a climax for the party; Brave and capable armed police soldiers also performed a set of southern boxing and northern legs for Mayang citizens, which attracted everyone's attention and won people's applause.

One morning in early summer, on the rostrum, a group of brightly dressed women were holding pink fans made of silk and dancing with beautiful music. They danced lightly and brightly, and all looked radiant, as if they had returned to their girlhood. I see women sometimes raise their wrists, lower their eyebrows, and sometimes gently touch Shu Yun's hand. The red fans in their hands rise and fall, close and open, and set each other off against the green trees, like beating notes. Isn't it beautiful? I listened to melodious music, and the fans made a neat "bang" sound from time to time, and could not help but sigh: "It's really uniform, enjoyable and harmonious!" I think, isn't this harmonious atmosphere necessary for a cold reinforced concrete city?

At the end of the song, I asked a woman, "Are you dancing a fan dance?"

"Yes, fan dance can promote blood circulation, enhance cardiopulmonary function and increase the flexibility and flexibility of joints."

"And this fan dance is still the traditional culture of our country!"

An old woman standing by interjected: "Although we are all sixty or seventy years old, we are no less energetic than young people. We are going to participate in the dance competition for the elderly held in the county to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China! " The old woman said, making no secret of her pride.

The music started again, and they were immersed in a cheerful dance. Yes, with the improvement of material living standards, people's spiritual and cultural life is also more abundant. Like fan dance, it can not only exercise, but also promote national culture and enhance the feelings between people. Nowadays, fan dance has become the most beautiful scenery in dance.

One day, I strolled in the northeast of the square and saw six big pillars standing not far away. It is said that it is a "cultural pillar", and Mayang's history and culture are engraved on it.

In order to find out, I came to the rostrum on the northeast side of the square and saw six huge round white rock columns carved with pictures of Tiger Pan worshipping dragons and dogs, gourds, bats and butterflies. The sky, the earth, the sun, the moon and the auspicious clouds are ingeniously combined, carefully designed and exquisitely carved.

Look at the Jinjiang Bund under the flood dike of Fushou Square. Above is a children's paradise, and below is an orderly display of various food stalls. At night, the lights here are brightly lit, the children above cheer constantly, and the adults below eat and drink. Old people dancing, children chasing and frolicking on the lawn, lovers holding hands under catkins. ...

When you are tired of playing, you can try some special snacks here: Thoreau, spicy soup, dog meat hotpot, Mayang goose, Lancun live fish and Yuanyang Island barbecue.

Jinjiang, under the light of the Bund, rushes endlessly, noisily turning out sparkling waves, like a starry river, which is the galaxy on earth.

I stand on the Jinjiang Bridge overlooking the banks of Jinjiang River, which is the most beautiful landscape painting. Jinjiang flows quietly into the distance like a mirror, just like a gentle and loving mother, nurturing people in her hometown!
