Where is the hometown of Chinese poetry?

“Chinese ancient poetry has practical and long-term significance for people to absorb the essence of traditional Chinese culture, feel the beauty and greatness of Chinese language and characters, shape a noble and graceful soul and improve personality cultivation.” Delving into Tailai When inspecting the creation activities of the Home of Poetry, Vice President of the Chinese Poetry Society Li Shuxi said: "Carrying out the selection activities of the Home of Chinese Poetry is not only an implementation of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to 'promote Chinese culture and build the most spiritual home of the Chinese nation'" Requirements are to subtly change the social atmosphere of a nation and a region through various forms of creation activities.”

Tailai County, which has a profound cultural heritage, has become a hometown of Chinese poetry. I deeply feel the changes that ancient Chinese poetry brings to people's consciousness.

Ma Zhijun, Secretary of the County Party Committee, said that through creation activities, a platform for learning and exchange has been built for the broad masses of cadres and the masses. In the long-lasting process of poetry creation, everyone has absorbed the essence of ancient culture, which has not only cultivated sentiments, but also unknown Unknowingly, I changed my way of thinking and behavior. This penetration and amplification effect of borrowing the past and incorporating the present is of great benefit to changing the habits and customs of a region. This positive enthusiasm and atmosphere are the cornerstone and guarantee of building a harmonious society.

With this understanding, the three-year creation activity of Tailai County’s “Sinochem Poetry Hometown” was vigorous and solid. In terms of organizational guarantees, Tailai established a leading group for the creation of a hometown of poetry, with ***, the top leaders of the four major teams, serving as group leaders. This kind of structure is rare in the province and in the country; in terms of financial guarantees, the county finance invested more than 130 yuan. Ten thousand yuan was used to build the Cultural Palace, Taihu Park Poetry Corridor, and edit and publish various literary series; in terms of carrier guarantee, we focused on highlighting characteristics according to local conditions, so that "the prescribed actions are not out of shape, and the optional actions are innovative." For three consecutive years, they adhered to the purpose of mobilizing the whole party and involving the whole people and carried out extensive publicity: the Propaganda Department of the county party committee drafted special slogans to be posted in urban and rural areas and released on TV stations; the county TV station opened a column on poetry and county creation; the county poetry association edited The magazine "Taihu Poetry" regularly promotes reports and publishes members' works; the founding office compiles and distributes briefings from time to time; townships, towns and communities also adopt various forms of publicity and guidance at all levels, setting off a wave of poetry learning and writing in the county , the upsurge of poetry recitation and poetry competition, and formed a good atmosphere of "taking pride in poetry, taking pleasure in poetry, educating people with poetry, and cultivating virtue with poetry".

Among Tailai's creation activities, the one most fully recognized by the inspection and acceptance team of the Chinese Poetry Association is the "Six Advances in Poetry" activity carried out by the county. In the "Six Advances in Poetry" activity, the organic combination of poetry creation and campus culture construction is a highlight.

In the process of carrying out poetry into campus activities, the county emphasizes highlighting characteristics, one school has one product, and incorporates poetry teaching into regular teaching. On the basis of setting up the school-based course of "Introducing Ancient Poems into the Classroom" and carrying out "reciting ancient poems and singing red songs", the County Experimental Primary School strives to diversify its forms, so that classes have specializations and different forms; the County Central Kindergarten has established a "Poetry Bookstore" , pasted poetry scrolls, allowing parents to participate in the "Children's Heart Poetry Reciting Meeting" activity; the County No. 2 Middle School focused on opening courses, building teams, setting topics, and organizing activities. Not only did students memorize and recite poems, but it also inspired the creation of faculty and staff. Enthusiasm... After three years of persistence, 100 schools in the county have carried out solid poetry teaching work. The rate of poetry teaching entering campuses has reached 100%. Poetry works created by primary and middle school students have been published in the "Taihu Poetry Journal" from time to time. Principal Du of the County No. 2 Middle School said that the Poetry on Campus activity is not only beneficial to adolescent children in forming a correct outlook on life and values, but also affects their parents to become more understanding, tolerant and generous.

In the "Six Advances of Poetry" activity, the introduction of poetry into the countryside also brought unexpected results. Keli Town was once a town that focused on petition management. After three years of poetry creation activities, people were delighted to see that the relationship between cadres and the masses has improved, the people's sentiments have improved, and there are no more petitions. Zhu Qingxiang, secretary of the Party Committee of Keli Town, said that learning poetry, reciting poetry, and creating poetry have truly changed the feelings of cadres, and the public servant consciousness has penetrated into all aspects of work; the peasant poets distributed in the countryside are becoming more and more influential in the countryside, and their sentiments The improvement of the realm has also affected more and more farmer brothers.

The six poetry promotion activities, which take the form of entering campus, entering institutions, entering communities, entering enterprises, entering rural areas and entering families, have been integrated into every cell of the development of cultural undertakings in Tailai County. This kind of creative activity that leaves no blind spots has been fully affirmed by the National Poetry Association.

On December 28, 2010, Tailai became the only county in our city and the third county in the province to win the title of "Hometown of Chinese Poetry".

From the fact that Tailai County won the honorary title of "Hometown of Chinese Poetry" and the subtle influence Tailai had in its founding activities, we can see that the construction of spiritual civilization is an important part of social development. It can not only change people's ideology, but also promote the development of material civilization construction. At the same time, the construction of spiritual civilization not only needs a carrier that is consistent with local realities, but also needs to be sustained and consistent. This is the inspiration that Tailai has received from being awarded the “Hometown of Chinese Poetry”. (Tan Degang)
