As we all know, in addition to the huge portrait of Mao Zedong hanging in Tiananmen Square, large slogans such as "Long live People's Republic of China (PRC)" and "Long live the great unity of the people of the world" are hung on both sides. In fact, the first two slogans were "Long live People's Republic of China (PRC)" and "Long live the Central People's Government", including the "Inauguration Ceremony of the Central People's Government of People's Republic of China (PRC)" hung in Tiananmen Square in founding ceremony, which was written by calligrapher Zhong Ling. This versatile master is from Jinan!
Zhong Ling, whose real name is Yu Xiu, was born in Jinan in August, 192 1, and became a citizen of China in July, 1938. Xuan was sent to Yan 'an and studied in the Fine Arts Department of Lu Xun College of Literature and Art.. After graduation, I worked in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, published many woodcuts and cartoons in Yan 'an newspapers, and designed "Baota shan" stamps. In Yan 'an, Zhong Ling's beautiful calligraphy is almost a household name. At that time, almost all the slogans on Yan 'an wall were written by him.
After the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, in February 1946, the postal administration of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region was established, and all the Chunghwa postal agencies in the border region took over, and Chunghwa postal stamps stopped selling. The Border Region has successively issued the Border Region Stamp-Baota shan Map Stamp, which consists of four editions and six sets of stamps (including stamped stamps). Zhong Ling's Baota shan stamp, with the main pattern of Baota shan, is an important symbol and symbol of Yan 'an, the revolutionary holy land of China. This is the first time that Yan 'an Baota shan appeared on stamps. From 65438 to 0948, he served as the secretary of Lin, chairman of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government.
Before founding ceremony, the state entrusted Zhong Ling with the arduous and glorious task of writing slogans on Tiananmen Gate. He is full of energy and determined to use all his housekeeping skills. Before writing, Zhong Ling picked up scissors, cut off the song style with a cloth, and then asked the carpenter to saw the board according to the ratio of one centimeter to one meter, nail it into a box, put a layer of ground glass outside and a light bulb inside. In this way, you can clearly see the slogan even after the electricity is turned on at night.
