Song begins and stops, poetry sings three levels

2024-12-16

The Great Wall is a great military defense structure in ancient China, a treasure of ancient architecture of the Chinese nation, a world cultural heritage, the New Seven Wonders of the World, and the backbone and symbol of the Chinese nation, as well as the root of the Chinese spirit that continues to thrive. Xinzhou is a major city of the Great Wall in China, spanning fourteen counties and twelve dynasties. All counties (cities, districts) in the city have Great Wall relics. The construction history includes 12 dynasties: Warring States, Qin, Han, Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui, Song, Liao, Ming, and Qing, crisscrossing and twisting, making it a maze of the Great Wall. Xinzhou Great Wall has a lofty position in the Great Wall circle of the country. Its long history span, many dynasties, large size, frequent wars, rich shapes, diverse architectural styles, and profound cultural connotation are rare in the country. It is the essence of the Great Wall of China, a museum of the Great Wall of China, and a textbook of the Great Wall culture.
Since ancient times, praising the Great Wall has been the mission and responsibility of poets, as it embodies the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation's struggle and the patriotic sentiment of unity and perseverance. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, frontier poetry was the main subject of poetry creation, a highly intellectual, imaginative, and artistic part of Tang poetry, and a brilliant chapter in the treasure trove of Chinese national poetry. The Great Wall of Xinzhou has always been an excellent subject for creating poems about the Great Wall. From Zhang Heng's "My thoughts are in Yanmen" in the Han Dynasty to Zhou Hongzheng's "Thinking of Dongting Lake in the south and Yanmen Pass in the north" in the Southern Dynasty; From Li He's "Journey of the Yanmen Prefect" in the Tang Dynasty to Yuan Deming's "Early Hair in the Vase shaped Ridge" in the Jin Dynasty; From the famous poem "Passing Yanmen Pass" by Emperor Wen Zong of the Jin Dynasty to Marshal Chen Yi's "In the middle of the Shenchi Kailan Road", spanning two thousand years of border turmoil and thousands of poems on the Great Wall, it has become an immortal cultural symbol on the land of Xinzhou and the spiritual height of the Xinzhou Great Wall.
Today, in the context of inheriting traditional culture, promoting patriotism, and building modernization with Chinese characteristics, in 2023, the Xinzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, together with the China Great Wall Society, jointly hosted the 5th China Great Wall Forum, elevating the protection, research, and development of the Xinzhou Great Wall to a national academic level. As the organizer of the 5th China Great Wall Forum, the Xinzhou Great Wall Society once again shoulders the historical mission of revitalizing the poetry creation of the Xinzhou Great Wall. Together with six responsible and caring enterprises on the land of Xinzhou, they have launched the "Song on the Wall, Poetry on the Three Passes" Great Wall Poetry Creation Project, encouraging Xinzhou poets to take the lead in creating Great Wall poetry and promoting Xinzhou Great Wall culture.
