Touching stories have a long history.
Zuo Zhuan's Thirty Years of Lu Xianggong in the Spring and Autumn Period (543 BC) contains: "In February, Gui Wei and Jin Ai lived in the city for their wives. People in Jiangxian are old and childless, but they go to eat. One year of doubt makes it a year. Yue:' I am a villain, and I don't know the date. I was born in the first month, with 45 out of 400 jiazi, and its season is one third of today's. The officials asked the dynasties and said,' Lu, Hui Bo was born in the year of Chengkuang. It's been a year, devaru. Uncle Sun and Uncle Zhuang were defeated by De Yuxian and were named Di Qiaoru and Qi Yibao, both named after their sons. "Seventy-three years." "said:" the sea has two six-body songs, which fell to the body in a few days. The scholar said,' But I'm 26,600 years old.' Zhao Meng asked his county doctor that it belonged to him. Calling him, Xie Yan said:' The incompetence of martial arts is a great event for you. Because of the dangers in the state of Jin, it is impossible for my son to humiliate my son in the mud for a long time, which is also a crime of martial arts. I dare to thank you. "Officials, help when the government. Resign to the old age. Regard Tian as the monarch and restore Tao, thinking that Jiang Xian is the teacher, I will abolish his commander. "
On February 22nd, Mrs. Moran, Duke of Jin invited the migrant workers who built the city for her husband's family and asked about the age of an old man. The other party didn't tell the truth, just said that the year of birth was Jiazi Day on the first day of the first month, and 445 Jiazi Days had passed, and the last Jiazi Day happened to be 20 days today. The accompanying officials couldn't guess his age, so they went back to North Korea to ask the learned doctor Shi Kuang. After accurate calculation, the answer is: "The old man was born in the year when Lu Shu Zhong Huibo was born (five years before 6 16), and has lived for 26,660 days, at the age of 73." (In ancient times, 60 days was a Jiazi day, and 445 Jiazi day was 22,670 days. If you subtract 10 day, it is equal to 26,660 days. The total number of days divided by 365 days in a year equals 73 years old. Wu Zhao, who presided over Zhengqing of the National Government, admired the old man's knowledge and wisdom, apologized to him, relieved him of his corvee, and hired him as a teacher in Di Jiang County. Since then, later generations have called this long-lived old man "Lao Jiang" or "Jiangren" or "Jiangsheng". In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Changqing's poem "Send a Gift to Li Shizhen's Family in Wuzhou" said: "There are many women in Wuqing, and the soil is thick and crimson." Qin Guan's "New Calendar" in the Song Dynasty said: "Declare the imperial edict to know the age of Jin; Look at the customs in the province and don't doubt the old age. " Su Zhe's second song "Propose to Shi" in Song Dynasty said: "I met Yan Ke at an early age and soon gave birth." Especially in Jiangxian where the story happened, "Lao Jiang" was highly regarded. As a memorial, there are pavilions and monuments, which have been recorded in the county annals of past dynasties. Up to now, the line-carved stone tablet of "Jiang" still remains in the Ming Dynasty, which has become a physical symbol of China's respect and love for the elderly, and Jiangxian County is therefore known as "the first county in the world".
The ecological environment is unique.
One side of the soil and water support one side. Jiangxian County is located in the south of our province, at the northeast end of Yuncheng City, and is known as "Sichuan with seven mountains, three ridges and one branch". The average altitude is about 750 meters. The eastern and southern parts of the county are surrounded by Zhongtiao Mountain, which is more than 90 Li Long and 20 miles deep, with a total area of 670 square kilometers. It belongs to Zhongtiaoshan National Forest Park and is covered with lush vegetation, which constitutes a rare natural oxygen bar area. Six valleys in Jiangxian, such as LULU, Moli, Lice, Chencun, Zijia and Lengkou, have towering peaks and long valleys, from which golden water, Suishui, Suishui, boiling water, crimson water and Taoshui all originate. The water quality is clear and pure, and it gathers into four Pingchuan seasonal rivers: Sushui River, Hui River, Heihe River and Dajiao River. In the Pingchuan area such as Dajiao and Hengshui, there are 220 springs scattered all over the place, only five of which are listed in the Notes on Water Classics written by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty: Boiling Spring, Heshui, Fanbi, Dajun and Yigou. The county belongs to the continental climate of the northern temperate zone, with mild climate, four distinct seasons, warm spring, windy and dry, hot and rainy summer, cool and sunny autumn and cold and little snow in winter. The annual average temperature is 1 1.7℃, the ground temperature is 13.5℃, the annual average sunshine is 228 1. 1 hour, and the average frost-free period is 2 19 days, which is very suitable for human reproduction. According to the detection of relevant departments in Jiangxian County, by 20 15, the forest coverage rate in Jiangxian County will be 35.8%, which is higher than the national coverage rate of 2 1.66% and 14%. The contents of arsenic, cadmium and chromium in groundwater are all qualified, and the water quality is better than the Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water (GB 5749—2006). ). The participation rate of basic old-age insurance is 98.24%; The number of days with Grade II air quality standard exceeded the average level of Yuncheng City.
Jiangxian county has suitable mountains and rivers, fertile land, excellent water quality and extremely rich products. Ginseng, velvet antler, musk, codonopsis pilosula, rehmannia root, polygala tenuifolia, Bupleurum root, Saposhnikovia root and other wild medicinal materials. The hillside is full of ready-to-eat fresh fruits such as hawthorn, cherry, calcium fruit, walnut, red dates and wild grapes; Wheat, cereals, beans, corn, potatoes and other miscellaneous grains are produced in the field. These natural products are rich in nutrition, and long-term enjoyment of nature is beneficial to health and longevity.
As the old saying goes, "People live for seventy years." On the other hand, Jiangxian has left many good examples of longevity. According to historical records, Emperor Yao was born in Yaoyu Village, Jiangxian County and lived 1 18 years old. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong became a monarch at the age of 62. Because he was well-informed, he used a group of old ministers of his own age, such as Hu Yan and Zhao Shuai, to help him develop the State of Jin into the overlord of the Central Plains in just eight years. The Qianlong edition of Pingyang County Records, Volume 20, Eight Roads, contains: "Cao Hezheng, a native of Jiangxian County, is a Geng Jie, who is good at taking pictures and forgiving his family. He met strangers and taught acupuncture skills, gathering more than 100 times a day. When you recover from your illness, you don't ask for gratitude. People far away may give you wine and food. Kensuke often thanks it with gold and silk, and the holy symbol receives it. At the age of 98, his face is red and white and his hair is childish. He called Cao Shenxian in his room. "
Since ancient times, Jiangxian County has been famous for its good mountains, good waters and good products. According to the statistics of relevant departments in Jiangxian County, the average life expectancy is higher than that of the whole country 1.6 years. There are more than 5,000 elderly people over 80 years old, accounting for 1.7% of the total number, which is 0.3 percentage points higher than the national 1.4%.
Beautiful natural conditions and good ecological environment make Jiangxian a scenic spot for human beings to thrive.
Respect for the elderly is passed down from generation to generation.
Influenced by the traditional filial piety culture, the concept of respecting and loving the elderly has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Jiangxian County for a long time, which has replaced talents. Shi Kuang (about 609 BC-527 BC), a musician and consultant of the State of Jin, entered the palace to serve the people for 40 years when he was young, and won the high respect and trust of the monarch. At the age of 70, Jin Pinggong still couldn't bear to let him leave his post. Han and Liu wrote in the book "Encouraging Learning": "Q,' I am seventy years old, and I am afraid of dying and don't study!" "Shi Kuang said,' Twilight, why don't you light candles?' Gong Ping said, "Does a minister play with his monarch?" Shi Kuang said, "Do blind ministers dare to play with their princes? I am not so eager to learn when I listen, like the sun at sunrise; Strong and eager to learn, such as the light of Japan and China; Being old and eager to learn is like holding a candle. What is better than ignorance? Gong Ping said,' Great! "
Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu for seven years (10 14), the top scholar in Jiayin, was born in Jiangxian County, Zhang Guan (985- 1050). He has both ability and political integrity and won the trust of Renzong. Successively served as Tai Changcheng, Judge of the Third Division, Patent, Bachelor of Hanlin, Zuosi Langzhong and Zhongcheng. Song Zhenzong appreciated his sincerity and awarded his father the titles of Beijing Official and Prime Minister. When his father died, Zhang Guan was very sad. He died in mourning.
Qing Guangxu's Records of People in Jiangxian County contains: Chen Zuozhou, a native of Chencun, was fifteen years old. His father died of natural causes, and he was too sad to fight. Mother, Li dare not retreat; Mother or condemnation must kneel, and soup and medicine must taste. Walking a hundred miles to delay medical treatment will kill you if you meet a thief. Suddenly, the tiger came out of the thin room, the thief escaped and the tiger wandered around. Mother died in bed and stayed indoors for three years.
In Jiangxian County, the Qiaosi Monument Building and the South Fanshi Archway, which were built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, stand. Qiao Temple Monument is a merit monument built by Zhou Luzai's descendants, relatives, friends and neighbors. Nanfan stone archway is a chastity square built by Jia Zongluo for his ancestor Li Gongren. As evidence of respecting the elderly in ancient times, it is listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit with high artistic and cultural value.
Since modern times, respecting the elderly in Jiangxian has become a common practice. Every year, counties, towns and villages commend a group of good daughters-in-law and good mother-in-law, which has promoted the improvement of the social atmosphere in the county and won the title of advanced county in comprehensive management of provinces and cities for many years.
Since the beginning of this year, Jiangxian County Party Committee and County * * * have responded to the strategic thinking of Shanxi Provincial Party Committee's "Strong Cultural Province" and Yuncheng Municipal Committee's "Ancient China, New Yuncheng", made full use of the unique human resources of "Lao Jiang", included the construction of longevity township in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", and made full use of the county's efforts to carry out "Lao Jiang" cultural research, optimize the ecological environment, develop healthy food, develop old-age care undertakings and cultivate.
