Yan’an, Baoshan

Several times dreaming of Yan'an, holding the Baoshan with both hands, the exhortation of artist He Jing. I would recite it by heart when I was studying. Secondly, the two yuan banknotes of the second edition are all about Baoshan. Therefore, Baoshan has been firmly rooted in my heart.

This time in Yan'an, we leaned against the Yan River Bridge, reflecting the Yan River, and through the distant Baoshan, we took a few photos before heading to Baoshan. Isn't someone saying, 'In Beijing, if you don't visit the Longjing Ridge, you haven't really been to Beijing; in Yan'an, if you don't visit Baoshan, you haven't really been to Yan'an',

We can't miss this opportunity, we must go to the eight-character Longjing Ridge, and we must also go to Yan'an Baoshan.

I didn't expect to arrive at the foot of Baoshan and be so shocked, how many rock carvings there were!

This is actually what I most admired to appreciate. Rock carvings are not only about calligraphy culture, but also about historical inheritance. It records a period and presents a period of experience.

Look at Fan Zhongyi's writing 'Ji Ling Shan,' how majestic and grand, and 'Chest full of ten thousand armed ranks,' 'Mountains towering and boundless,' 'First worries about the world, then happy'------Looking at it, I don't feel that they are all written by Fan Zhongyi, the tone is different,

Such as 'Out with Generals, Enter Ambassadors,' 'One Han, One Fan,' 'Mount Tai, North and South of the Great Bear,'

I still admire Fan Zhongyi quite a bit, especially his famous saying 'First concern about the world, then happy,' which is inscribed on 'Records of the Yang River' and embodies his dedication. He served as governor for only one term, but benefited a whole area, and he left a good reputation in many places he served. For example, I went to Xinghuacun to visit the tomb of Shanaian, and I walked back and forth on 'Fan Gong Di,' which is the Han Gong Weir that he supervised the construction of, which people still praise today. There is also Fan Gongting in Qingzhou, which is adjacent to the old residence of Li Qingzhao, and it is also the place where people praise Fan Zhongyi. Now, there is also a Fan Gong in Yan'an's Clear Spring Mountain.

During the early years of the Song Dynasty, when the Western Xia Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty at the Three Rivers Pass, it was called the Three Rivers Battle, also known as the Jianzhou Battle, also known as Yanzhou Battle. Subsequently, the Western Xia Kingdom continued to conquer many fortresses and besieged Yanzhou for seven days before retreating due to a sudden snowstorm and severe cold. If it hadn't been for the weather, Yanzhou might not have been able to hold out. Just imagine if it hadn't been for the weather, would Yanzhou have been able to hold out?

Just then, Fan Zhongyi 'accepted the mission at a time of crisis and was commissioned to achieve the task,' along with Han Qi, they were appointed by the court as the Executive Commissioner of Shaanxi and the Deputy Commissioner of Jing Yuan, Han Qi was in charge of the Jing Yuan Road defense (the location of Jing Yuan is now Pingliang in Gansu), Fan Zhongyi was in charge of the Fei Yan Road defense (the location of Fei Yan is now Yan'an), Xia Shuo was stationed in Yongxing Army (now Xi'an), forming a to resist the Western Xia.

Fan Zhongyi arrived in Yanzhou and immediately implemented military training reforms. He selected elite troops of nearly two thousand and divided them into six departments, led by six generals to train three thousand people, understanding the enemy and knowing the enemy, and fighting according to the situation. He also reinforced the city defenses and placed Jia Ling Shan as a defensive base and command center for Yanzhou, which greatly boosted the morale of the Yanzhou people. The Western Xia people were also impressed, 'Unable to take Yanzhou seriously, the young Fan is already full of ten thousand armed ranks, not like the old Fan,'

Otherwise, the door of Fan Gong would have inscribed: 'The first person in the Song Dynasty'—six characters, a very impressive assessment!

Inside is a photo of Fan Zhongyi wearing a red battle robe, which is the highest praise given to Fan Zhongyi. 'People have their preferences, history remembers,'

It was also during this period that Fan Zhongyi wrote 'Peach Blossom Source,' 'The autumn scenery in the border areas is different, the geese in Hengyang have gone without a trace. The sound of the border echoes throughout the corners. Thousands of miles in the border regions, smoke rises, lonely tower stands alone.'

At the beginning of climbing the mountain, it is more than 1100 meters high, didn't take much effort, walked around and looked around, looked around and didn't take much effort, and suddenly arrived at the top of the mountain. A brick pagoda with eight corners and nine stories appeared before our eyes, which is the pagoda we long to see, it is both an image and an objective existence, majestic and towering------

Standing here, I looked around in all directions, I saw the entire Yan'an city in my sight, I couldn't help but be moved and sang the lyrics of 'Yan'an Song': 'The tower shadow in the sunset shines brightly, the moon illuminates the flowing lights along the river, the spring breeze sweeps across the open plains of Tanping, the mountains form a solid barrier.' Oh! Yan'an, you are this dignified and magnificent ancient city------

There is also the song 'Anti-University Anthem': 'Gathering a group of outstanding children of the Chinese nation on the Yellow River, all the responsibilities of human liberation and national salvation depend on us to take on.'
