Feel the spirit of Yugong moving mountains in Yugong's hometown

It is also a red education base. In the middle of the square, a group of sculptures depicting the old Foolish Old Man Lu Santai leading his children and grandchildren to dig a mountain together made many people who have read the article "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" stop and stare with fascination. The story of Yugong moving the mountains first appeared in Liezi·Tangwen. Later, after Chairman Mao’s article “Yugong moving the mountains” was published, it was widely circulated among the people. The gist of the story is: Wangwu Mountain blocks the doorstep of Lu Santai's house, and to get water they have to climb over the mountains and go to the river, which is very hard work. Lu Santai wanted to split Wangwu Mountain and build a road in front of his house. There was a local rich man named Zhisou. When he saw Lu Santai leading his children and grandchildren to dig the mountain every day, he ridiculed him for not knowing how to exercise his own ability. Lu Santai said, "If I cannot split this mountain in my lifetime, I still have a son. Even if my son dies, I still have a grandson, and my descendants will continue. Why should I be afraid that I cannot split this mountain?" This incident moved the gods, and he sent a god to carry the mountain away on its back. Looking back at China today, it has to be said that this fable has become the spiritual pillar for the Chinese people to overcome difficulties. Wangwu Mountain, the hometown of Yugong, has thus become a place of worldwide attention. In the middle of the stele corridor is engraved Mao Zedong's handwritten inscription "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains and Transforms China" and the full text of "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" written by Lie Zi. The whole square is magnificent and majestic; the sculptures are mighty and resolute, and lifelike; the cursive script of "Yugong Moves Mountains and Transforms China" is vigorous and dynamic. Give people strength. At present, the square has become a red education base for Yugong Yishan, and visitors come in an endless stream. Passing through Yugong Valley and walking along the rugged mountain road to the edge of the mountain, the rolling mountains are like a huge screen, guarding this land. Walking around the square and gazing at the sculptures illuminated by the sun, I gained new insights into the Chinese nation's spirit of perseverance and indomitable spirit in overcoming difficulties.
