Guo Moruo Cemetery: His ashes are scattered on Hutou Mountain in Dazhai, accompanied by Chen Yonggui. There is only a monument

Guo Moruo Guo Moruo (November 16, 1892 - June 12, 1978), formerly known as Guo Kaizhen. Among all intellectuals in China in the 20th century, Guo Moruo ranked first. He was a scientist, historian, archaeologist, poet, writer, playwright, and critic. Although Guo Moruo himself was controversial, his talent was unmatched at the time. (This is a set of photos reflecting Guo Moruo’s cemetery. After his death, Guo Moruo’s ashes were scattered on Hutou Mountain in Dazhai, using the mountain as a tomb.)

The slogan “Learn from Dazhai in Agriculture” on Dazhai Square in 1978 When Guo Moruo was seriously ill in June, he said to his wife Yu Liqun and his children, "After I die, do not keep my ashes. Scatter my ashes in Dazhai and Feitian." When Guo Moruo died on June 12 of that year, at the memorial service After the ceremony, Guo Moruo's ashes were scattered on Dazhai Hutou Mountain and in the terraced fields. At that time, I thought it was puzzling. According to Guo Moruo's identity, he should be buried in Babaoshan, Beijing, or sent to his hometown in Sichuan. Why did he choose Dazhai? This starts with Guo Moruo's special feelings for Dazhai.

In Guo Moruo’s view, Dazhai spirit is the inheritance of Yan’an spirit. Dazhai is a product of a special period. Nowadays, people over 60 years old should be able to sing the song "Learn from Dazhai and catch up with Dazhai". Role model, change the poor and white through self-reliance! Resolutely learn from the people of Dazhai, dare to change the mountains and rivers! Work hard, the red flowers of Dazhai will bloom everywhere..." It can be seen from this! The influence of Dazhai spirit in that year.

Hutou Mountain Stone Carvings Hutou Mountain is the mountain behind Dazhai Village. Looking down from Hutou Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of Dazhai. In 1996, Dazhai was approved by the Shanxi Provincial Government as a provincial forest park. Today's Hutou Mountain not only harvests forest fruits, but also brings endless tourism revenue. Guo Moruo's tombstone is located on Hutou Mountain, and Chen Yonggui's cemetery is also nearby, which means that Chen Yonggui and Guo Moruo are together.

It is said that the bluestone road on Hutou Mountain was that the Dazhai people began to plant trees and afforestation at the same time as they were converting the soil into fields. Every time the leaders came to inspect, they emphasized the development of forestry and irrigation. As a result, the Dazhai people have been in trouble for decades. The continuous greening of the hilltops has finally completely changed the appearance of Hutou Mountain. The forest area of ??the whole village reaches more than 1,000 acres, with a coverage rate of nearly 40%. Obviously, Hutou Mountain has become the symbol of Dazhai.

Introduction to Guo Moruo's Tombstone The word "Dazhai" appears in many of Guo Moruo's poems. The first one appeared in "Eight Poems on Fu Baoshi's "Yan'an Picture Scroll"" written on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1965. "Seven of them", the whole poem The content is, "The traditional style of snow-limei, the spirit of Dazhai comes from this. I have seen the clear bottom of the Yellow River, and I want to teach the universe to return to spring." Since then, Guo Moruo has been eager to go to Dazhai to see and walk around, and finally Came to Dazhai in December 1965.

Guo Moruo Monument This white marble monument was erected in September 1992 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Guo Moruo's birth (November 16 of that year). It was erected by the Dazhai Village branch. This monument is engraved with "Comrade Guo Moruo will live forever", and an iron fence is installed around the monument.

The back of the monument is engraved with Guo Moruo's poem "Ode to Dazhai". In December 1965, which was the coldest season of the year in Dazhai, Guo Moruo, then president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led some scientific researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to finally Arrive at Dazhai. Guo Moruo was infected by the spirit of Dazhai and immediately wrote a poem "Ode to Dazhai" to express his inner joy.

Dazhai Terraces Mr. Ba Jin described what he saw in Dazhai in "A Trip to Dazhai": "We stood on the slope and looked into the distance. One after another, the dams protected the terraced fields. The terraced fields go up layer by layer along the winding mountain terrain.

I know that there are 32 dams in the dam, but I didn’t count how many I saw. I was only surprised: what a big project and how energetic! On every stone dam and every terrace, I saw the heroic spirit of the Dazhai people! ”

Tuanjie Gou Aqueduct Tuanjie Gou Aqueduct is one of the landmark buildings in Dazhai and a symbol of the spirit of the people of Dazhai. The aqueduct was built in the 1970s when the people of Dazhai wanted to divert water into Hutou. At the same time, the people of Dazhai built stone slabs on top of the water aqueduct to irrigate the terraced fields.
