/PRZWT/October 09, 2024 - Dongguan - Fushan, thousands of homes.
This is one of the goals of the high-quality development of Guangdong Guanyinshan National Forest Park, and it is also one of the directions that the park has always been working towards.
Huang Ganbo, chairperson of Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park in Guangdong, said that as the first private national forest park in the country, since its establishment, it has clearly adhered to the business philosophy of ecological garden building and cultural mountain building, making one mountain, one water, one grass and one tree a carrier for the dissemination of traditional culture and ecological culture, and turning the park into a green mountain, a lucky mountain, a mountain of marriage, and a mountain of culture, so that more tourists can experience the ecological beauty and cultural beauty of Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park.
Qingshan is a good natural ecology. So, what is the connotation of Fushan, and how is the garden built? The connotation of blessing: green mountains and green waters, Ze was later generations. "Building a national forest park and caring for the beauty of nature is not only responsible for our physical and mental health and even survival, but also an important prerequisite for achieving high-quality economic and social development. It is also a sustainable move for future generations of Fuze." Huang Gangbo said that the "blessing" of Fushan is first and foremost Ze was later generations.
Talking about the original intention of building "Fu" Mountain, Huang Ganbo talked about his views from both the macro and micro levels.
From a macro perspective, whether it is now or in the past, the common people in China have a common desire, that is, to look forward to the arrival of good luck. A word "blessing" is a yearning for a happy life and a wish for a better future. In traditional Chinese culture, the five blessings (longevity, wealth, health, good virtue, and good death) are people's pursuit and sustenance for happiness and auspiciousness. Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park reflects the values of "predecessors plant trees, future generations enjoy the shade", "planting three trees in front of the door, and the family will prosper for the third time", "one-year plans are like planting valleys, and ten-year plans are like planting trees". Isn't it the spiritual pursuit of people?
Creative design, giving it the connotation of "blessing", is his microscopic concept.
Huang Ganbo believes that with the development of the times, the ideological connotation of blessing culture will inevitably take on new vitality in social development, so Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park has always stood at the height of the times, exploring the essence of traditional blessing culture, and building it into an artistic image that crosses the national and cultural divide, which is recognized and disseminated by the public.
This concept has been widely recognized by the industry. Some experts say that the Fu culture has a long history and is the great belief and unremitting pursuit of the Chinese nation for generations. "Fu" is the common wish and expectation of the Chinese people. For Forest Park, isn't the Chinese path to modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature the "blessing"?
The creativity of Fu: Fu comes at will, thousands of miles are happy
The "First Blessing of Guanyin Mountain" is an important scenic spot for Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park to create "Blessing Mountain" and convey blessing culture.
Located in Thanksgiving Square, the attraction was completed in 2019 and is a 9-meter-high, 3-ton giant red sculpture of the word "Fu". The word is taken from the word "Fu" written by Kangxi's imperial pen. Above is a 3-meter-long cube on the side, and below is a huge circular step. There are five steps, which symbolize the five blessings coming to the door. Each step also has its own meaning, which means "Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai".
"It is a humanistic landscape that combines the traditional culture of blessing with modern sculpture art, with both visual and cultural attributes," said Chen Jingyu, director of the Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park Management Committee. "This is an important manifestation of the blessing culture of Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park. Now it has become a well-known Internet celebrity clock in the park. All tourists who come to the park will come here to'transfer 'and'receive' blessing."
Can this "Fu" sculpture still rotate?
Chen Jingyu introduced that the sculpture uses a hydraulic transmission device. By turning the roulette wheel below, visitors can drive the 3-ton word "Fu" on it to rotate together. The meaning of "turning" Fu "and" receiving "Fu is full of luck. Here, there are two classic idioms, namely" with Fu "and" walking with Fu ".
In addition, the Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park has also created a Wanfu Promenade with a total length of 25 meters and a width of 5 meters. The design subtly integrates the meaning of "five blessings" of blessing, Lu, longevity, joy and wealth into it, and is divided into five sections, each representing a different blessing. The top of the promenade brings together the word Fu written by many famous calligraphers. Through the technique of yin and yang hollowed-out carving, the word Fu shows different luster in the sun. Every morning and evening, the sun shines golden light and shadow on the ground through the hollowed-out word Fu, as if the blessing falls from the sky. " The scenic spot is a golden dragon with a dragon's head sticking out on the cliff. When the dragon spits water, it can form a 30-meter-high waterfall. The dragon pavilion next to it is the best shooting point to see the dragon, which means seeing the dragon and receiving the blessing.
Experts said that the creative "blessing" attractions created by Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park have unique and distinct cultural connotations, and rely on the National Forest Park as a platform for social display and communication, which will gradually form a iconic auspicious symbol and become a positive cultural value that more tourists love and are willing to convey. If the National Forest Park is creative, it will surely realize the re-upgrading of cultural tourism industry consumption and drive the simultaneous development of regional economy and culture.
In addition to creating scenic spots, Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park has also carried out a series of "blessing" activities. Huang Gangbo introduced that in recent years, every New Year's Day holiday, the park will issue free "blessing" stickers to tourists on the same day, which means that the "blessing" of Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park will be spread to thousands of households, so that the general public and tourists will be full of happiness in the coming year.
Mr. Li, who lives in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City, said that every year on New Year's Day, Spring Festival and other holidays, he would bring his family to Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park to "visit" Fu "and" receive "Fu." The word Fu pasted on my door is given by the staff of the park. The park itself is a'Fu 'mountain, and I am very happy to send me'Fu'. "
The spread of blessing: fancy "whole life", cultural tourism "top points"
The spread of blessing culture in Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park has been praised by the local media as a fancy "whole life" and a "top score" for cultural tourism.
In recent years, especially during the Spring Festival, Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park has launched Spring Festival activities with the theme of "blessing", including the integration of the "Five Blessings" images of lucky stars, Luxing, birthday stars, happy gods, and the god of wealth in traditional folk culture into the scenic area. Actors who play the "Five Blessings" will also tour the park and have immersive interactions with tourists. At the same time, the park has also launched a Spring Festival activity to send blessings and greet the Chinese New Year. Many couplet calligraphers from the Guangdong Couplets Society are invited to splash ink on the spot to write the word "New Year's Blessing" and the Chinese New Year couplet for free to tourists.
Chen Jingyu introduced that at the Spring Festival event every year, citizens and tourists are enthusiastic, interacting with the parade team all the way, laughing and applauding one after another, and the festive and peaceful atmosphere fills every corner of the park. Some children get the "Fu" copybook sent by "Fu Xing" and run back to their parents to show it happily; the elderly will touch the big birthday peach of "Shouxing" to ask for a good idea of health and longevity for themselves; young couples ask for the red rope of marriage at the "Happy God", hoping to leave their sweet memories, "a word of'Fu ', a pair of couplets hold the wish of a better life in the new year".
Just this past Mid-Autumn Festival, Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park also held activities such as "Chang'e" blessing cakes, and "Fairy Chang'e" invited tourists to taste the delicious "Fuyuan Moon" giant mooncakes.
"When I got the mooncakes, I was reluctant to eat them. They were given to me by Fairy Chang'e herself," said Ms. Zhang, a tourist from Guangzhou, but after eating them, she added, "The freshly baked mooncakes are delicious, emotional, and exquisite. They are too artistic. I regret eating them. I should send them to Moments first."
Chen Jingyu introduced that in order to spread the blessing culture further, Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park has also done a lot of public welfare and charity activities, aiming to guide more people to establish a sense of charity, participate in charity activities and develop charity through charity acts. He said, "As the so-called'giving roses to others, leaving a lingering fragrance in your hands', 'great love is boundless, and benevolent people love others', charity is not only the purpose of the spread of the blessing culture in Guanyin Mountain National Forest, but also a concrete embodiment of the socialist core values and traditional virtues of the Chinese nation."
