Looking back on the 12-year long road of building Changde Poetry Wall, 75-year-old Yang Jie, with gray temples, proudly said that Changde Poetry Wall can win wide acclaim from all walks of life, which is a great affirmation of a spirit. This spirit is first manifested as a pioneering and innovative spirit. A wall can serve two purposes, which is an idea in itself. Secondly, in the conception of content, there are many new ideas about Changde poetry wall, both ancient and modern celebrities and Changde authors; It not only maintains the national level, but also highlights local characteristics. In terms of content, although poetry is the main theme, there are also new poems, folk songs and world famous works, and even the unrecorded poems of Hong Xiuquan of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have been excavated. In addition, in terms of carving technology, the builders of the poetry wall have successfully explored a set of unique techniques of manual description and machine stone carving, and the carved paintings and calligraphy works are vigorous and round, maintaining the charm of the original, and have also won two national patents. A calligrapher said humorously, "Your engraving is better than mine." The spirit of poetry wall is also embodied in the spirit of rigorous truth-seeking For example, the overall design of the poetry wall, from the initial idea to the overall plan, has been discussed for more than ten times. Even if the preface goes from east to west, it is not a random decision to finally publish Picasso's dove of peace. The shortlist of poetry works was also finalized through primary selection, re-evaluation and final review. Contemporary works, in particular, are all sealed in the judging process and selected by secret ballot. There is not a leadership inscription on the 3-kilometer-long poem wall. The editorial principles of the judging panel, which do not care about relationships, consider fame and rank, and do not degrade themselves, have been highly praised by Liang Dong, vice president of the Chinese Poetry Society. What is particularly worth mentioning is the academic attitude and selfless character of the judges who are strict with themselves. Professor Yang Chunqiu wrote the general preface, and asked for opinions many times. During his serious illness, he changed his manuscript five times in the ward. Professor Huo Songlin wrote a couplet for Chunshen Pavilion. After three revisions, he still wrote a letter saying, "If something can be changed, Wan Qi pointed out in his letter that ... it should be impeccable." Yang Jie, the person in charge of poetry wall, not only knows poetry, but also writes poetry. He was the president of Wuling Poetry Society for more than ten years and published poetry collections. From the beginning of the construction of the poem wall, it was clearly stated that his poems were not on the poem wall. Several judges had selected three of his poems, but when he learned about them, he simply refused to accept them. Each poem tablet and painting tablet must go through 14 procedures, such as evaluation, proofreading and error correction, before being installed on the wall; Even if you go to the wall and find something wrong, you must correct it, even at the expense of starting all over again. In this team of 21 people working in Poetry Wall, 18 people are retired cadres, and selfless dedication has become an important part of Poetry Wall spirit. They started with 1, yuan, and "a dime is also three cents." For the wall of poetry, they are all careful; For yourself, but never pay, don't talk about conditions. At that time, the office was close to Yuanjiang Bridge, and the Engineering Office was located under the bridge, which did not shelter from wind and snow in winter and sunshine in summer. Except for a program-controlled telephone, the office conditions are very simple. Even the transportation and telephone charges for the third year of the year have to be paid out of their own pockets. But for the construction of the poem wall, everyone survived without complaint. The seventieth birthdays of four old people, including Yang Jie, were spent on the construction site of the poem wall. Yang Jie, the person in charge of the poetry wall, used to be the secretary of Anxiang County Committee and attended the 7,-person conference in 1962. He suffers from heart disease and many diseases, and he has to rest twice when he goes to the fifth floor. The hospital gave him a critical notice twice. But he devoted himself to the construction of the poem wall. His wisdom, his democratic style and his preciseness have influenced a group of people. Liu Xianyuan was the principal of Changde No.1 Vocational High School. After retiring in 1991, he took part in the construction of the poetry wall, served as the leader of the poetry group, and went out many times to search for poems about Changde. In 1997, he was unfortunately found to have lung cancer. During his treatment in Changde and Wuhan, he was still obsessed with the construction of the poem wall and made many oral or written suggestions. Before he died, he also wrote a million words of advice to the leaders of the municipal party Committee on Changde's development. Before retiring, Chen Xichun was the director of the local culture and education bureau and the secretary of the Party Committee of Changde Normal School, and was responsible for the sculpture group work in the poem wall. In order to select stone materials, he explored dozens of quarries and factories, and led a team to Yuelu Academy to learn rubbings. He strictly controls the quality, and whoever fails to meet the standard or makes mistakes will personally swing a hammer to correct it. In May, 1999, his only son died in a car accident, and he lost his son in old age. His grief can be imagined. However, after Mr. Chen handled the funeral, he came to the shed silently with his tool bag on his back the next day. Later, he unfortunately suffered from cancer. Before he died, the last thing he said was to ask his daughter to help him put on his shoes, and he had to look at the poem wall. Tian Gong, an honorary soldier who lost his right leg to save state property, comes to work in a shed three miles away by hand-cranked wheelchair every day. He is good at calligraphy and poetry, so he is responsible for carving the poem wall. Whether it is hot or cold, he is always meticulous in his work. Tian Gong said that it was the concern of the Party and the government that made him what he is today, and all he could do was try his best to repay the society. It is this spirit of selfless dedication that has laid a solid foundation for the construction of the poetry wall and won people's high praise for the "three unique poems, calligraphy and painting, a wall of heaven and earth". If we say that the poetry wall is a huge material wealth, this dedication to hard work regardless of fame and fortune is a huge spiritual wealth. Over the past year or so, Changde Poetry Wall, which has accumulated fine works of art and displayed the style of the times, has been widely regarded as an open-air museum to display the art of China poetry and calligraphy in the 199s. It has not only become a national cultural quality project, but also a popular facility to expand the beautiful landscape of tourism and improve the living environment. Mr. Yu Guangzhong, a poet in Taiwan Province, once commented on Changde's poem wall with "fighting floods from outside and keeping time inside". Now, under the sanitation of the levee, the turbulent river flows meekly eastward. The wish of "fighting floods outside" has been realized. And the poems, books, paintings, engravings and the spirit of the poem wall of later generations in Changde can make history gaze here and let modern people relive the fragrance of traditional culture?
