The Historical Evolution of guo zhuang cun

I joined the work in October, 1971, and was assigned to the publicity group of Guo Zhuang reception station to take charge of drawing and other related publicity affairs, until I left Guo Zhuang in March, 1978. During this period, the country was in the upsurge of "grasping the revolution and promoting production" and "learning from industry and learning from agriculture". "Dig deep, accumulate grain, and not seek hegemony" is in full swing. "Taking grain as the key link" has become the central topic of the times. "Dazhai", an agricultural flag, flutters between mountains and rivers, and Chen Yonggui, secretary of the Party branch of Dazhai Brigade, is promoted as the vice premier of the central government in one fell swoop, making agriculture a top priority. "Learning from Dazhai" is to learn from the spirit of hard struggle of Dazhai people. Guo Zhuang Brigade, with bad geology, is changing the original situation step by step on the road of "learning from Dazhai". The output of grain and cotton is increasing year by year, and the people's life is constantly improving, which is a thriving scene.

At the beginning, the natural conditions of Guo Zhuang Brigade were extremely poor. More than 1,9 mu of land was severely eroded by salt and alkali, with low terrain, poor soil and no harvest, and many people fled to other places. Folk songs say: "Bald head, old alkali ladle, ten kinds of nine seedlings, planting a gourd and harvesting half a ladle." "The Great Northern Wilderness, the Great Northern Wilderness, the wind blows all night, the land is bleak, the frost is everywhere, and the snow is flying."

In p>1964, Comrade Guo Hong Jie served as the president of the Party School of Shuoli District Committee, the director of the management committee of Douzhuang Commune, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Party branch of Liu Zhuang Brigade. Seeing that the villagers suffered from the poverty of "one year's chaff and half a year's grain" and "half a year's grain" and relied on state relief, they volunteered to return to their hometown as party branch secretary. In my twenties, I am determined to change the face of my hometown. Lead a group of people, more than 1,7 men, women and children, to embark on the arduous road of saline-alkali control. Digging three feet, burying the upper saline-alkali soil deeply, drilling well to irrigate the saline-alkali, and transporting manpower from the foot of the mountain outside Wuliuli Road to neutralize the saline-alkali, the huge project of "Wan Li has thousands of cars and one acre of land" is being implemented. Through a series of management measures and the unremitting efforts of villagers for several years, the soil quality has undergone fundamental changes and good crops have grown. It is this struggle spirit of "thinking about change if you are poor" that has become a model of the times. After Dazhai, Guo Zhuang, as well as Qiliying in Henan and Huaxi Village in Jiangsu, became a dazzling agricultural star, affecting the whole country and overseas. All over the country, from all walks of life, a large number of people flocked here to visit, study and experience life. The government has set up a reception station with more than 1 people here to undertake reception and publicity.

During this period, Comrade Guo Hong Jie visited the DPRK as the head of the "China Youth Delegation", which was warmly welcomed by the Korean people and received by Kim Il Sung. He has served as secretary of Xiaoxian County Party Committee, member of the Party's Top Ten Central Committee, secretary of Anhui Provincial Party Committee, member of the Central Qualification Examination Committee, and member of the three-member preparatory group of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. Guo Zhuang has also become the focus of Anhui, which has attracted the attention of the whole country. It's very lively here. The "Dazhai Conference on Agricultural Science in Anhui Province" was held here nine times before and after, including many provincial cultural performances and educational conferences, and the fourth national youth basketball tournament. Chen Yonggui visited here, and Li Desheng, Song Peizhang, Li Renzhi and Wang Guangyu, then leaders of Anhui Province, often traveled here. More than a dozen agricultural science experts from China Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences are stationed in Guo Zhuang, opening up dozens of acres of land as experimental bases, exploring new ways of high yield of grain and cotton in this area, exploring reasonable rules of planting, water use and field management, providing high-quality varieties of grain and cotton, and promoting the steady increase of output.

In p>1969 and 1974, sixty or seventy young intellectuals and four college students, including Wang Renyi, Meng Fan Yi, Zhang Jianying and Lu Yemiao, were sent to Guo Zhuang Brigade in Shanghai and Hefei. While receiving rural re-education, they also made an indispensable contribution to the development of Guo Zhuang. Some become leading members or production captains of Guo Zhuang Brigade. They can be seen in experimental fields, pig farms, machinery fields, weather stations, health centers, kiln fields and other places. In 197, Guo Zhuang Agricultural College was established, located in Caiwa Brigade bordering Guo Zhuang. Students come from all the communes in the county, and often take the fields in Guo Zhuang as the classroom, and the experts from the Agricultural Institute "help and guide", and return to their original places after graduation. It has injected new vitality into the development of agricultural science in our county. News media have settled in Guo Zhuang, and Ding Zaixing, a reporter from People's China, used dozens of pages in People's China to comprehensively report Guo Zhuang and introduce it overseas. The special edition of Anhui Pictorial introduces Guo Zhuang.

Anhui Daily, People's Daily and other newspapers reported large articles. The Central News Film Studio filmed a feature film with the theme of "Vowing to Turn Xiaoxian into Xiyang". Among them, there are aerial panoramic views of Guo Zhuang and many scenes. Mr. Ouyang Long and Mr. Zeng Guangcai live next door to us. I often go to play and see that they are creating "Guo Zhuang in Progress" comic books in the form of colored ink Chinese painting. Guo Zhuang is in full swing. Guo Zhuang's special booth is available in Beijing Agricultural Exhibition Hall and Guangzhou Fair. Guo Zhuang needs a matching window for external display.

in p>1971, the government decided to set up an exhibition hall in Guo Zhuang to fully display Guo Zhuang. The exhibition hall is a systematic project from preparation to opening. In addition to physical objects, pictures and words, the exhibition is writing and painting. First of all, an exhibition team of dozens of people was organized to mobilize the strongest forces of design, photography, writing and painting in the province to invest in this work. Dong Boxin, Zhang Quan, Qiu Chenyao, Lai Shaoqi, Shi Songling, Tao Tianyue, Lin Zhiyue, Li Hongxun, Zheng Yinong from Hefei ... Li Bairen, Wang Shaoshi, Guo Dahua, Xie Xie, Chen Xingzhi, Yue Le, Gao Chuanye, Cai Shiming, Ji Ming, Su Jimeng, Kong Qingfu from Linquan, Yang Tianxu from Huaibei,

"Guo Zhuang Exhibition Hall" is located in the east and west, covering an area of nearly 1, square meters, and its name is inscribed by Mr. Li Bairen. In the middle of the main hall of the exhibition hall is Mr. Zhang Quan's large-scale oil painting "People in Guo Zhuang". On the right is the woodcut "Huaibei People's Learning Dazhai", which is a large-scale multi-color woodcut by Lai Shaoqi, Shi Songling, Lin Zhiyue and Tao Tianyue. The left hand is Mr. Zheng Yinong's large-scale Chinese painting "The New Appearance of Xiaoxian County". There is a scene figure sketched by Fu Qiang in the second exhibition hall. In the third exhibition hall, Mr. Wu Ran's multicolored print "Harvest", the hero of which is Comrade Guo Hong Jie. I created "A Basket of Red Clay" with Liu Shixia as the prototype in the form of New Year pictures. A set of eight slides was produced by Anhui Slide Studio and played in the fourth exhibition hall. There is a Chinese painting figure of Mr Ouyang Long in the sixth exhibition hall. The rest are pastels, oil paintings, traditional Chinese paintings, prints, photographic pictures and layout words. Main bid, paid bid, small bid, beautiful imitation song, bold. The caption of the beautiful picture comes from the handwriting of Guo Dahua and Zhang Xiehe. Two groups of sculptures were completed by Mr. Song Yanzhao and Mr. Zhang Zumin. Mr. Zeng Guangcai participated in the overall design. During this period, Mr. Xue Zhiyun not only participated in the relevant work of the exhibition hall, but also created a comic book of "A Flower in Dazhai in Huaibei Plain" with Guo Zhuang as the background, which was published by Anhui Fine Arts Publishing House. The cover of the comic book "Snow and Salt" was enlarged into a huge oil painting and set up at the southern end of Nanbei Road opposite the county party committee. The exhibition hall has been continuously revised, supplemented and improved since its development, and its overall level of scale and layout should be above the provincial level.

Guo Zhuang reception station has set up three guest houses. An auditorium can accommodate more than 1, people, and a large oil painting "Guo Zhuang Brigade in Progress" on the western wall behind it is the work of Mr. Bao Jia. A big sign with dozens of square meters was set up opposite the two gates. The oil paintings on it were the works of Qian Liu and Wu Jun, who were very young at that time. When I first came to Guo Zhuang, the leader arranged for me to write with paint on a sign more than one meter long, such as "People's commune must plant wheat well", "Water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture" and "The route is an outline, and the outline is open to all". One brand and one word, I wrote carefully in imitation of Song Dynasty. Although I have skillfully used Songti to write a few blackboard newspapers of the school during my study in Yonggu Middle School, and directed my classmates in Class Two of the same session with the excellent teacher * * * on the hillside at the southern end of Yonggu Reservoir, I planned to use imitation Songti to "learn from Dazhai to drive Guo Zhuang" within 2-3 meters, and whitewashed the stone, which can be seen twenty miles away. It is magnificent, magnificent and spectacular. I understand that they want to try my work. The sign was written and set up by the roadside in Guo Zhuang. Two or three years later, it is still being reviewed by tens of millions of people every day. Later, I wrote most of the wall characters on one, two and three walls. Frequent wall newspapers, slogans at the conference venue, welcome slogans, and I run a newspaper every summer in Sanqiu (hand-carved mimeographed on steel plates with wax paper). On the gable of a house, Ma Xinhua and I completed a large-scale oil painting "Da Zhai on Agriculture". I remember Chen Yonggui wearing a white towel in the picture with Dazhai terraced fields in the background. Later, I drew several large oil paintings of Chairman Mao and put them on the rostrum of the conference. Many years later, I still saw them placed in the middle of the stage of the county cinema.

In p>1975, I created a New Year picture "Happy Rain" and participated in the Anhui Fine Arts Exhibition. During this period, I was obsessed with comic books, such as He Youzhi's Great Changes in Rural Areas, Zhao Hongben's Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, Ding Shibi's Furious Tide in Fishing Island, and Liu Guohui's A Grass on Kunlun Mountain, and so on, and most of me copied them carefully to study their composition rules, performance skills, characters and scene changes. I also wrote my own script "Over the Grass", and there are still many pictures. Come to Guo Zhuang to experience life, there are many celebrities in the field of literature, art, painting and calligraphy, such as famous performance artists Wang Shaofang, Pan Jingli and Liu Shilong, poet Sui Min, drama actor An Baoguo, etc. Famous painters Xiao Longshi, Kong Xiaoyu, Zheng Zhen, Guo Gongda and Mr. Xu Zihe all left their footprints here. Mr. Kong Xiaoyu and Jenny lived together for half a year and several months. I often have time to stay with them and study ink and paper. Mr. Qiu Chenyao and I are in charge of the teaching of the art group of Guo Zhuang Brigade. We often go back and forth side by side between the school, one school, two schools and three schools (the art group consists of school students and several intellectual youths who like painting and calligraphy). Mr. Qiu Chenyao and Mr. Fang Zengxian are painting friends, and Mr. Fang has given us an inscription entitled "How to draw figures" as our teaching material.

We talked about books and paintings together. Teacher Qiu Chenyao once told me, "I'm going to visit Mr. Ouyang Nansun in Xiaoxian County today." Mr. Nansun is the first time I have heard of it. I saw him buy two pieces of fried dough sticks for Mr. Nan Sun in everyone's canteen. In the period of poverty, this is a rare gift. At the same time, I can see Mr. Qiu's respect for artists and art. Once, we watched the movie "Rock Bay" together in the evening, and one of the villains was called "Qiu Erneng". He whispered in my ear, "Qiu Erneng, why don't you call Jiang Erneng". "Panshiwan" is one of the model operas launched by Jiang Qing, so Mr. Qiu made this remark. The bad guys don't call you Jiang Qing's Jiang, but they call me Qiu. Deep down, he was dissatisfied with the social state at that time. Mr. Qiu Chenyao was in his fifties and was from Hangzhou. The work unit is Anhui Group Art Museum, a famous painter, a peacock painter and a philologist. At that time, an unfinished manuscript of a nine-volume Dictionary was shown to me privately, and I was shocked by the big seal script, small seal script and small case script. How much effort, how deep skill, how strong patience. Academic career can't be done aboveboard, but secretly, eating and living with members. One bubble is five or six years ... Mr. Liu Xiangting is the curator of Xiaoxian Cultural Center, transferred to the secretary of Guo Zhuang reception station, and is good at painting and calligraphy. Over the years, many works have spread to the society.

I was young and busy at that time, and I used to write and draw whenever I was free. Consciously or unintentionally, painters and painters in Guo Zhuang often paint books. Once I went to Mr. Li Bairen's room, I saw him writing regular script on Mi Zige, and then a student copybook was published by Anhui Publishing House. In that era when literati painting and calligraphy were neglected, painters and calligraphers were willing to give their works to people they really liked. During his stay in Guo Zhuang, Mr. Lai Shaoqi left more than 15 works of plum blossom and calligraphy, Mr. Kong Xiaoyu left more than 2 works of pandas and grapes, Mr. Xiao Longshi came to Guo Zhuang twice and left more than 2 works of bluegrass and bamboo, and Mr. Wu Ran, Zheng Yinong, Li Bairen and Zheng Zheng left many works of calligraphy and painting. Mr. Zheng Yinong once asked me to hand over more than a dozen four-foot-four-open landscapes. My roommate, Zheng Yongmin, once asked Mr. Li Bairen to write four cursive scripts with banners four feet apart. At that time, although I was young, I didn't like Mr. Li's handwriting very much, and I felt inclined to be sweet. At that time, I collected five works by Lai Shaoqi Kong Xiaoyu. Teacher Ouyang Long said to me, "Love the people, and Kong Lao's peacock and cat show me.".

I said, ok! You can have these two! Mr. Zhang Kaifan came to Guo Zhuang after his job was rearranged. Everyone knows that his handwriting is good. His title "Hefei Normal College", especially "Cultural New Village", was praised by Chairman Mao. At our request, in addition to the title "Guo Zhuang Exhibition Hall", three or four works were written for us. In and out of Guo Zhuang, our county's calligraphers and painters, such as Wang Qingbin, Du Changjing, Jin Jiashi, Xu Jingru and Li Dinghua, especially the young people who love calligraphy and painting, such as Hu Zhixin, Bai Cai, Ding Feng and Luo Xianli, and many others from other places, such as Yang Shenjun and Xie Haiyang, studied sketch and color under the guidance of their teachers ... More than 3 years have passed, and the lively scenes and painting situations in Guo Zhuang period are vivid. It broadens our horizons and exerts a subtle influence on Xiaoxian's calligraphy and painting through participation and hearing, which is an inseparable part of the development and growth of our calligraphy and painting. For me, it is the most critical growth stage.
