Fangchenggang's unique ecological landscape, rich and diverse cultural style, unique ethnic customs and the achievements of border cultural tourism construction have been praised by literary and artistic masters.
Wang Jinjun, director and deputy secretary general of the Chinese Prose Literature Association and a military writer, stopped to visit every time he went to a collection point, listened to the explanation, and recorded his harvest and insights on Weibo. He said that he brought the reportage collection "Southern Xinjiang Kapok Red" published by the People's Liberation Army Publishing House in 1986 to participate in the collection, because many chapters of this book were written about the border of Guangxi, and now he has returned to its birthplace, reminiscing about the past and the past, full of emotion. "The Guangxi border has changed so much that I can't believe my eyes. Wang Jinjun said that when he came to Fangchenggang in 1985 and 1986 to interview, he was still quite poor here, and he felt very deeply about the poverty of Yaozhai at that time. "At that time, they were all thatched houses, and now they are all small western-style buildings and small villas. At that time, I also went to the three islands of the Jing people, and the houses of the Jing people at that time were far worse than they are now, and the development now shows the great results brought about by the country's reform and opening up. When talking about this trip, Wang Jinjun said with emotion that he finished the 300,000-word "Southern Xinjiang Kapok Red" in less than 90 days, which can be said to be a hard work, because there was a very strong desire to create at that time. Although more than 30 years have passed now, he still has a lot of creative passion, and plans to collect the new journey and the characters who created new history seen in this wind collection activity, and go back to write about it, so that more Chinese people and overseas tourists can know about the 100,000 mountains, Fangchenggang, and the magnificent Guangxi.
Zhou Wendao, director of the Chinese Prose Literature Association and editor-in-chief of the magazine "Presence", believes that literary creation can play a very good role in the promotion of cultural tourism and the shaping of the image of a place. In the final analysis, the shaping of the image should form cultural symbols and spiritual values, which is one of the main driving forces for the development of the whole society after China's industrialization and urbanization are moving towards modernization. Shaping the image of a region through cultural tourism or shaping the image of cultural tourism through publicity is the highlight of local development. Guangxi held this collection activity, in the promotion and publicity of cultural tourism, from the perspective of development economics, through the creation of writers to refine the humanities and historical reality of landscapes, with greater spiritual penetration, the cognition of a place can go beyond the appearance.
Zhan Gufeng, director of the Guangdong Writers Association, paid attention to the itinerary of the wind collection activity before the start of the wind collection activity and was full of expectations for the wind collection activity. He said that he was most interested in visiting the No. 1 and No. 5 boundary monuments of the Qing Dynasty, "The focus of this collection may be on these two boundary monuments, which have a sense of history and vicissitudes." Many people in the group will pay attention to more realistic things, but I am mainly engaged in historical prose writing, and I prefer to discover and observe reality from history. He believes that all history is hidden behind these things, and that this monument is very hard, but few people can see its history behind this hard stone, and many people have conducted arduous negotiations to erect this monument, and finally after various efforts, this monument has been erected in this place.
Many of the works of Wang Tongyu, vice chairman of the Beihai Writers Association, are set in an obscure local place, and with the advancement of the ** plot, they skillfully show the unique regional characteristics of that place. A reader once wondered if that place was real because he read her **, and said he wanted to see it. This is the beauty of literature, where readers are interested in a place because of the author's fictional characters and stories, and then want to know more about it. And often the writer and the place he writes show is also a subtle relationship of mutual achievement. Wang Tongyu said when talking about the role of writing in promoting the development of tourism in the frontier.
Literary and artistic masters have said that like Fangchenggang, the cultural and tourism resources of the Sino-Vietnamese border area of Guangxi are unique and distinctive, and now through the construction of the Guangxi border national tourist scenic road, beads into a chain, these cultural and tourism resources will be greatly improved, integrated and developed. After a few days of collection, they have a new understanding of the urban style, cultural tourism, rural revitalization, and ethnic unity of Fangchenggang, and harvest new discoveries, which will become the source of their creation. Next, it will be further refined and strive to create literary and artistic masterpieces that show the development of Guangxi's culture and tourism in the new era, and tell the stories of Guangxi and China.
