What does agricultural Dazhai mean? Interpretation of agricultural Dazhai

1, Agricultural Dazhai was a movement initiated by China in the 1960s according to the instruction of Chairman Mao in 1963 that "learn from Daqing in industry, learn from Dazhai in agriculture and learn from the People's Liberation Army all over the country". The "Red Flag Canal" originated from the "Agricultural Dazhai", which once became an important landmark on the political map of China.

Dazhai is a brigade of Dazhai Commune in Xiyang County, Shanxi Province. This used to be a poor mountain village. After the agricultural cooperation, members cut mountains and slopes and built terraces, and the grain yield per mu increased by 7 times. 1964 February 10, People's Daily published the communication report "The Road to Dazhai" by Xinhua News Agency reporters, introducing their advanced deeds. He also published an editorial "A Good Example of Building Mountainous Areas with Revolutionary Spirit", calling on the people of the whole country, especially the agricultural front, to learn from the revolutionary spirit of Dazhai people. Since then, the "Agricultural Dazhai" movement has sprung up in rural areas all over the country, and Dazhai has become a shining example of China's agricultural front. The slogan of "learning from agriculture" spread to the end of 1970s, and was also used by extreme "Left" thoughts.
