Fuquan county culture

Fuquan has a long history, which has been more than 2,000 years since Guchelan, creating a splendid ancient city culture.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Fuquan developed the indigenous Galand culture and Yanyou Yelang culture, leaving behind the totem worship at that time. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, the criminal officials who forcibly moved to the Central Plains were scattered abroad, but in the Han Dynasty, they "sent officials to treat traffic jams". These criminal officials, rich men and foot soldiers who were demoted as border officials moved to Galand (now Fuquan) and other places, bringing developed cultures in the Central Plains and other places. In addition, the introduction of advanced production tools and technologies has promoted the development of local economy. In the Ming dynasty, the number of officials sent by the imperial court increased, and a large number of Han laborers moved in together. The introduction and integration of a large number of foreign cultures have made Pingle ancient culture enter a new stage of development.

During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Pingyue first established official education. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pingle successively set up various official schools, such as health school, official school, state school and county school, as well as educational systems such as academies and examination institutes. Pingle Official School and Moxiang Academy are both famous in Guizhou Province. All kinds of official schools aim at cultivating imperial examination talents and selecting officials. During Zheng De's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Huanglong, a student of Pingle Health School, was the top student in Yue Wei High School in Kaiping, and Yueweike in Kaiping took the first place, and was appointed as the minister of civil affairs. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, there were 13 members of the Wang clan in the cattle farm, among whom Wang, Wang and Wang's uncles were academicians of the same dynasty, and they were known as "three academicians at one time" in the cattle farm. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than twenty scholars in Pingyue, with a total number of 130. There are many scholars in Pingyue, ranking among the best in southern Guizhou and even the whole province. It is really "the one selected by southern Guizhou satellite".

Pingyue left many footprints and poems of poets, poets and dignitaries. Among them are the legends of Xu Xiake and Lin Zexu. Wang Yangming's Seven Musts; Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wutangmen Taoism, built a platform and pavilion in Fuquan Mountain, became a "fairy", traveled around the world and spread Taoist ethics. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pingyue literature, represented by poems and books, was rich, and only Fuquanshan's poems were excellent. Bi He's monographs and poems became masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Wang Jinshi Zheng Heng is good at poetry and prose, and is known as "a talented person in the south of the Yangtze River". Yi saints, Zhang and Jin saints are called "the land of Sanzang"; The Annals of Pingyao County compiled by Yi Rong County is at the forefront of Guizhou Chronicles. Ping Yue Wei commanded Xi Zhu Guo to write down the word "God left the universe" in Xianying Rock during the Wanli period, which is necessary. The word "heaven cuts hibiscus" on the cliff of Lianhuayan in the kings' cities is strong and tenacious, and relevant historical records record that Emperor Zhu Yun of Ming Dynasty made a southern tour on this imperial topic. During Zhang Sanfeng's monasticism in Pingyue, his poems were widely circulated among the people, such as Song of the True Immortal, Poem of Three Abundances Answering the King, etc. Many couplets were also engraved on the pillars of Fuquanshan Temple, which pushed the ancient city culture to the peak.

The religious culture dominated by Taoism and Buddhism has also been widely introduced and developed. More than 20 temples have been built in this city alone. The exquisite construction skills of these ancient buildings showed the cultural characteristics of religious temples at that time. Among them, the buildings of Fuquan Mountain are known as "the crown of Taoism in southern Guizhou". Along with religious culture, there are cultural relics and stone carvings. Among these cultural relics, there are 2 town halls, 2 Tusi yamen, 100 stone bridges, dozens of cliff carvings, dozens of towers and pagodas, and ancient buildings such as Gong Xue, post stations and tunpu.

Among the people, folk cultural activities such as singing lanterns, dancing Yang Opera, welcoming Erlang God, playing dragon lanterns, dancing Lusheng, singing folk songs and playing suona are very popular, and folk stories and ballads are widely circulated. Except for the activities of welcoming God, everything else stopped. Among them, lantern plays and folk songs are one side's strengths, and the rare ancient Yangxi in the province is called the living fossil in the play.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Pingle abolished the imperial examination, promoted learning and began modern cultural education. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the county was located in the rear of the Anti-Japanese War, and it was also a transportation hub in eastern Guizhou. Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuxiang and other dignitaries stayed in the county, and a number of military and political organs and people from other provinces moved to the county. The introduction of foreign culture promoted the economic and cultural development of the county. When Tangshan Institute of Engineering of Jiaotong University (including Beiping Railway Institute) and Guilin Teachers College entered Pingyao, the county town formed an education system from kindergarten, primary school and middle school to university. This period is the golden age of Pingle culture and education. Pingyao Zhongshan Middle School run by Jiaotong University became a famous middle school in the province at that time. In the 1940s, the county town had modern cultural facilities such as cinemas, and poetry creation and anti-Japanese propaganda activities were widely carried out in the county town and other places. The poems of Xianmin, Liu and Liu Jianxun were once admired and called "Three Liu".

After the founding of New China, the ancient city culture entered a new development course. Cultural activities involve cultural education, literary creation, culture and art, mass sports, radio, film and television. In just a few decades, radio and television have grown from scratch, covering the whole county, mass cultural activities have spread all over urban and rural areas, folk traditional cultural activities have become more active, and folk literature with fairy tales as the main body has shone brilliantly. In terms of cultural education, the county has made great achievements in primary education, secondary education, vocational education and adult education.

The development and progress of Fuquan culture is also reflected in the development of industry and agriculture, scientific and technological progress and many other aspects. The construction of large and medium-sized irrigation and water conservancy facilities, the popularization and application of agricultural technology, the rise of phosphating industry, the improvement of transportation, posts and telecommunications, the improvement of medical and health conditions, the layout of urban construction, etc. All of them fully show the characteristics of Fuquan culture.
