The "rich" of Fushun
Puguang tree. It is often said that there is always one in the footsteps and one in the heart. When I came back from Fushun County, Sichuan, for a long time, I felt as if my mind was still resting on the land of Fushun.
Fushun "rich" in**? My intuition tells me that the "wealth" of Fushun lies in the land under his feet, as well as in the respect and belief of the local people in culture.
There is well salt underneath that land. In ancient times, the land was created, the Haixi movement, the sea was uplifted into land, and the rich salt water was buried in the ground of Fushun. Legend has it that the local Umezawa hunted the deer and found the brine, so he dug a well, shook the wheel, put down the bamboo tube, and brought the brine up. After that, the Fushun people took brine salt and enriched the people. That land has the Tuojiang River on it. The Tuojiang River starts from the southern foot of Jiuding Mountain, and absorbs many streams along the way, including the Mianyuan River, the Qingbai River and the Bihe River, and comes from Benfu. The water of the Yantuo River in Fushun is sold to all over the country, and the silk of Hangzhou and the porcelain of Jingdezhen also go up the river and come to Fushun. Fushun business travel is endless. Tuojiang has become an important channel for Fushun commodities. It seems that God loves Fushun very much and gives Fushun a rich land. I came to Fushun, out of the high-speed rail Fushun station, to Fushun County, all the way through the green fields, as far as the eye can see, the field is vast, the shallow hills are undulating, a horse and a flat river, almost is the copy of the Chengdu Plain. The shallow hills are all fertile fields, and if you hoe them and sow a few seeds, you will have a good harvest. A small soybean, ground into bean curd, Fushun people made it into an intangible cultural heritage, made a golden signboard of Fushun.

The "wealth" of Fushun is not only in the property, but also in the culture.
Fushun Confucian Temple is a rare cultural relics and monument, and is a local cultural landmark and spiritual totem. From the Song Dynasty people raised funds to build the Confucian Temple, the Qing Dynasty Xiao Yongsheng mono-owned the reconstruction of the Confucian Temple, to the successive governors and counties were enthusiastic about education, personally served as a professor of Confucianism, and raised a fresh life with thought, spirit and soul. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there have been more than 230 Jinshi, more than 800 lifters, and more than 800 tribute students, Yan Duo, one of the "Jingtai Ten Talents", Xiong Guo, one of the "Four Masters of Xishu", Liu Guangdi, one of the six gentlemen of the "Wuxu Change", Song Yuren, the first person to "open his eyes to see the world" in the history of Sichuan, and Li Zongwu, the founder of Houhei Studies, are among the outstanding representatives. They have earned Fushun the reputation of "the hometown of talents", and their achievements are clearly closely related to the Temple of Literature.

After visiting the thousand-year-old Confucian Temple, continue to visit the restored Fushun old county government, walk into the former residence of Liu Guangdi and Chen Gang Memorial Hall, linger on the ancient street of Zhaohua, and the historical relics and monuments everywhere are vividly telling us about the "wealth" of Fushun.
