In recent days, Xinyang people's circle of friends has been flooded with large seas of purple flowers. The location of the Flower Sea is the bell and drum tower of , Popihe Town, Guangshan County. Unlike ordinary attractions, this project that becomes an internet celebrity after construction is started. It is the only and largest parent-child park in the southern Henan and northern Hubei region. Its completion will continue to be the lifeline of the development of the southern Henan mountainous areas over the past century, and contain the huge potential for rural revitalization in the new era.
1. The pattern of mountains
late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the heartland of the Central Plains. In front of the Bell and Drum Tower, Longhu Mountain, Ma'an Mountain and Hejian Mountain stand opposite each other.
"Dongdong! Dadongdongdong!" The violent drum sound broke the tranquility of the moonlit night. While sleeping, the people put on their clothes and ran towards Longhu Mountain in the northwest.
There are already smoke rolling on the mountain. The men were on the top of the mountain, while the women hid in the dense forest with their children in their arms. The rocks and wood rolled down from the mountain and smashed towards the invading bandits. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the visitors quickly return home disappointed.
After the fierce battle, there was silence, the sky fell into deeper darkness, and many eyes flashed in the night, waiting -
The bell rang, and the morning light was dim. People walked towards their respective houses, children turned over and fell asleep, men, women and the elderly fed pigs and chickens, boiled water and chopped wood, and carried hoes to the plowing land, everything was as usual.
The turbulent era has not erased the people's pursuit of happiness. Every year on February 2nd, people here organize activities such as flower drum play , dry boat , shadow play , lion dance, drum book, etc. Villagers from all directions come to burn incense and make wishes and pray for peace.
During the Kangxi period, the monk Hua went to Ma'anshan here on behalf of Jin Long to set up camp and bully men and women. The court sent the "Golden Detachment Huang Tianba" to wipe out Dai Jinlong and beheaded at Caishikou, Pohe.

In the late 1970s, after the Second Agricultural Learning Dazhai Conference, the battle of planting trees and afforestation reached the Bell and Drum Tower. The whole commune dug mountains and afforested forests here and planted pine trees. Guangshan Residents always talked about memories that when he was fifteen years old, he worked in a small team and lived in a bullpen at night. The greatest happiness at that time was that you could eat rice until you were full after work.
"While we were in school, we worked on the bell and drum tower countless times. After leaving the school gate, we still went to the bell and drum tower to work again. But we still failed to put the bell and drum tower in new clothes." The surprise to Lao Kan was that the bell and drum tower beat the gongs and drum towers again today.
html In the late 1990s, green car whizzed past along Beijing-Kowloon Railway, breaking the state of blocking in mountain villages; now in Ma'anshan, there are dense forests and many wild fruit medicinal materials among strange rocks and strange peaks. Looking north from the top of the mountain, the entire area of Pohe Town is unobstructed: the waves of the Pohe Reservoir are dripping, and the smoke from the southern Henan houses scattered among the mountains are curling.The sun rises and the moon sets, the former barren fields turn into purple willow leaves and verbena flowers, and the trains walking towards each other meet here, transforming into dream-like scenes.
counts now, and it is a big deal to be shocked.
2. A certificate
6-15, the sun was scorching. Seven or eight people were walking near the Bell and Drum Tower. They passed the lively construction site and the sea of flowers that tourists frequently took photos, passed through the pier and wooden houses that were still under construction, and walked into the project department.
"The overview of the terraced flower sea landscape area is basically completed, and the public landscape area is under construction..." The project leader pointed out the area corresponding to the renderings.
"What month will the flowering period last?" "When will the road to enter the park be completed?" "When will the children's amusement facilities be in place?"... A middle-aged man with flat head looked at the engineering drawings carefully and asked a series of questions.
He is Wang Jianping, the county magistrate of Guangshan County. The story begins two years ago.
Two years ago, Wang Jianping went to Songyang County, Zhejiang to work and exercise. As a government leader in a central region, especially a national poverty-stricken county, he was deeply touched by the prosperity and development of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially the successful cases of the most beautiful rural and rural tourism created by Xiangban Cultural and Tourism Group.

During this period, the party and government leaders of Guangshan County went to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang projects many times to conduct in-depth inspections, and unanimously invited the village to this "golden phoenix" to go to Guangshan to develop and build rural tourism.
At that time, Chen Yu, a resident of the clock and drum tower, and his neighbors, were either worried about their livelihoods or simply went to work. But soon, on December 23, 2018, when they took over the homestead ownership certificate, qualification certificate and use certificate from the city and county leaders, they began to realize that the almost abandoned old houses should be "expensive".
As rural revitalization is elevated to a national strategy, activating idle rural factors and increasing farmers' property income has become a challenge facing local governments. As a county and district where the "three rights separation" of rural homesteads was first tried, Guangshan, on the basis of implementing the collective ownership of homesteads, protected the qualification rights of homesteads and farmers' house property rights in the form of documents, and moderately liberated the right to use homesteads and farmers' houses.
This is a happy event for farmers in Henan, but the happy event of the local government also touches the heart of an Yunnan person.
On this day, an Yunnan native named Zhu Shengxuan posted a circle of friends on the spot: "In the place where Sima Guang smashed the jar and Sansu was enlightened, Henan's first rural homestead "separation of three rights" certificate was issued on Guangshan County, Xinyang City. ."
Soon, this information spread in the homestay circle, and the keen media person Yu Chao left a comment worthy of attention on Zhu Shengxuan's circle of friends.
Zhu Shengxuan is the general consultant of the landscape engineering of the Shanghai World Expo Park and the founder of Xiangban. He also has a "nickname for the Jianghu": the Godfather of the B&B.
In fact, "three rights separation" is an important step in the banner of rural revitalization.
During the Henan "Two Sessions" in January 2019, Wang Jianping proposed an idea to reporters: Guangshan County Party Committee and County Government took the lead in launching the "three-rights separation" reform in rural homesteads in Xinyang City and even Henan Province, and achieved initial results. The county rural commercial bank granted loans, revitalizing rural assets and realizing that rural resources have turned into assets and assets have turned into capital.
"We adopt the general engineering contracting (EPC) model, cooperate with professional companies, introduce talents and experience from other places, and launch rural revitalization demonstration sites such as the Xuping Village area of Zhonggulou and Dongyue Village area of Nanwanggang, and transfer local residents' homesteads and idle rural houses. We are building the natural parent-child education park of Zhonggulou, providing exploration and leading experience for the reform of the "three rights separation" of rural homesteads." Wang Jianping said.
3. Wise and the Pastoral
(Bell and Drum Tower rendering)
"The drizzle slanting wind makes the morning cold, the light smoke sparse willows charm the sunny beach. Entering Huai and Qing Luo is getting far and wide.
Snow foam, milk flowers float on the noon cup, and the wormwood bamboo shoots try the spring plate. The taste of the world is the joy of the clear and joyful."
Su Shi praised the poem and cherry-like pastoral joy, and the pastoral joy will be presented again today.
Go to the bell and drum tower, watch the green car whizzing by in the sea of flowers, and the valley embraces its hustle and bustle. In the water-based farmland, children distinguish between wheat and rice. The animals and plants on the electronic screen are vivid here: Close your eyes and listen to the sound of your feet whispering on the leaves, the sound of squirrels creaking food, and the sound of swallows calling their companions. Enjoy family fun in the parent-child paradise and infinity swimming pool.
Sunset in the west, you can camp on the spot and enjoy the brilliant star tracks. In the tea room, red mud is placed in the burning stove, and the remaining heat of the tea soup is still there.
This is a scene in the future of the Bell and Drum Tower. As the township team entered Henan for the first time and cooperated with local governments, it became its first characteristic cultural and tourism project built in Henan, and it is positioned as a rural study base and a nature education school.
"Differential Development" is an important consensus reached by the local government and the township partner team.
"From past experience, we have a lack of market power to develop tourism by "single-only one". We do not engage in vicious competition in the same category, but to develop in a differentiated manner, which is the future way for tourism development in the Dabie Mountains. Parent-child paradise is a new product, and it is unique in Xinyang and even southern Henan and northern Hubei. We position several provinces and cities to cater to market demand and create popular products of different types from the Dabie Mountains, which can form a unique tourism market and cultivate core advantages."Zhou Yongheng, director of Guangshan County Culture, Radio, Film and Television and Tourism Bureau, said that the bell and drum tower has advantages in location, transportation and natural resources. The "village companion" team brings advanced construction and management models, and also traffic and markets. Next, talent training, skill training, and various service training can be carried out here to provide impetus for the development of Guangshan tourism.
From the project planning point of view, here is based on ecological forests and pastoral rural environment, and children's natural practice education as the core. The construction part mainly includes entrance service buildings, natural schools, soil-covered buildings, tea rooms, office spaces, parent-child homestays, and tent camps. The landscape part mainly includes landscape greening, road hardening, square paving, landscape pavilion, bird watching pavilion, corridor frame, water wheel, landscape bridge, small furniture Products, children's outdoor tourist facilities, water system projects, farmland improvement, etc.
Such a huge framework, why are there only a few dozen homestays and restaurants almost non-existent?
Zhou Yongheng said that the project is mainly based on education and entertainment, and only provides a small amount of food and accommodation. Considering that after a large number of tourists arrive, it can drive surrounding villagers to participate, and at the same time guide private capital to enter, form a tourism format with a blooming flower, and provide more space for rural tourism.

"This is not just a tourism project, but an important part of our rural revitalization. "Zhou Yongheng said that the Bell and Drum Tower Parent-Child Paradise will drive the development of three surrounding townships and more than a dozen villages, and at the same time, it will connect with the immigrants of the Yuanwan Reservoir in the west in the future to help them solve the problem of survival and development.
"After the project is completed, local residents can directly obtain benefits. "Yu Xiaoqian, Party Secretary of Popihe Town, did some calculations for the people: With the right to manage and use the homestead, villagers can choose to operate farmhouses and homestays nearby, or rent them to others or enterprises; land transfer, labor employment, and local specialty products can directly increase the villagers' income.
When the local government and professional team gather together, a sentimental invitation will create the pastoral joy of the wise. Ancient villages that have experienced hardships usher in the nirvana of the main body of the village.
