On this red land, Zhang Side, as the representative, emerged as a model figure of Qian Qian, and Li Xiannian, Xu, Xu and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation fought bloody battles, leaving a glorious footprint. Due to historical reasons and geographical restrictions, this is a famous poverty-stricken county in China, with few mountains and many people, inconvenient transportation and poor information. The construction and development of the old revolutionary base areas and the warmth and coldness of the people have touched the hearts of the leaders of the United States and China. In August, 2004, General Secretary Hu made an important instruction when inspecting Yilong: "We must protect Zhu De's former residence and build Zhu De's hometown".
In recent years, the people of Yilong have kept in mind the entrustment of General Secretary Hu, conscientiously implemented Scientific Outlook on Development, made independent innovations, meticulously created the red cultural brand of Zhu De's former residence memorial garden, and presented gifts to the 20th anniversary of Zhu De's birthday/KLOC-0, and embarked on a novel and unique road of economic construction and development.
According to their own advantages of being surrounded by mountains and rivers, towering cypresses and outstanding people, they organically combine the red culture and rich Hakka regional culture inherited from the fire with the provincial Lin Lang scenic spot, the New Deal dumping of one of the four famous inland rivers in Sichuan, the stone carving of "Fairy Jade Dumping" by Mo Bao, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and Shi Ding Manor, the first Hakka village in northern Sichuan, and learn from each other's strong points to develop tourism resources led by red culture.
In order to build a red cultural brand with Yilong characteristics, the leaders of the county party committee personally took people to visit and study in Yan 'an, Jinggangshan, Shaoshan, Hunan and huaminglou. Based on the planning concept of "ecology and culture" and the requirements of "strengthening protection, paying attention to restoration, being simple and generous, and coordinating with nature", a unique red cultural tourism system project in Yilong has been initially completed.
Along the newly-built Panshan Highway in Yilong, over several mountains and high slopes, we came to the memorial park of Zhu De's former residence at the foot of Lin Lang Mountain. The newly-built memorial park covers an area of nearly 3 square kilometers and is divided into entrance area, memorial area, folk area and background area by function. The mountains in the distance are majestic, the pines and cypresses are lush, and the streams are gurgling, giving people an artistic conception that Lingshan Xiushui breeds great people; Nearby, with the living environment of teenagers in Zhu De as the background, the scenic spots are self-contained, interlocking and complement each other, highlighting Zhu De's extraordinary early experience.
In the south of Sanxingzhai Memorial Garden, there is a simple and elegant ordinary farmhouse built at the end of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, covering an area of about 260 square meters. The front hall, bedroom and kitchen are combined with the silkworm room on the left, workshop, farm tool room and pigsty cowshed on the right, which shows the diligence and frugality of this workshop. This is the former residence of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De.
The former residence, with trees and lush bamboos, is like a bright pearl embedded in the blue waves and undulating pines, which makes people think about things and people, causing infinite nostalgia for Commander-in-Chief Zhu De. In particular, two big cypress trees not far from their former residence are lush, like two loyal sentries, eagerly looking forward to the return of Commander Zhu day and night.
Walking westward, we came to a barn in the corner of the main Dawa in Dingjiadi, the birthplace of Zhu De. This small house is narrow and short, with an area of only 16 square meter. There is no place for people to pass except beds, cabinets, tables and chairs. The whole barn has only a simple "cowshed" window, which is dim and the air circulation is extremely poor. The great man Zhu De spent nine years as a baby here, and everything here seems to be recording his childhood.
Yaopuya private school is an obscure private school founded by Zhu, a drugstore businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. This is a low-rise house with wooden rafters and earth walls, which is located beside the country road at the Lin Lang Pass. The foundation of this house is D-shaped. The width of the whole house is 1 1 m, and the depth is 5.5m.. The classroom in the private school is in a house on the right. There are two wooden fence windows on the front wall of the house, which is very simple, but it does not lose the characteristics of folk houses in Beishan Township, Sichuan Province. Zhu De came here at the age of six to study and receive enlightenment education.
The memorial hall of Comrade Zhu De's former residence is an important landscape in the whole memorial garden. It is located on Qinggangzui Mountain in Lin Lang Village, Lin Lang, echoing Zhu De's former residence at a distance, only separated by a valley. In the square at the south gate of the memorial hall, there stands a white marble statue of Comrade Zhu De. Flowers keep coming all year round, and people come here to study and visit in an endless stream.
