When we were kids, our dad was a superhero to us. He looked silent, commanding, but also awkwardly gentle. After growing up, I discovered that my father was also an ordinary person.
In the ocean of life, fathers ride the wind and waves, from high-spirited to old and old, just to let the boat named "family" move forward safely. The boat with our parents and us is the most solid support in our life.
My parents' love affair began in the 1980s. Due to the limitations of time and family conditions, many happy moments of theirs can only be preserved in memories, and the rare ones preserved are probably a certificate when they got married.
Over the past 100 years, the times have changed, and the appearance of the certificate has changed in many ways, but no matter what it looks like, it records the beginning of the happiness of two people and one family.
Yesterday at the invitation of a good friend, he went to his hometown, Hushan Village. Originally, I wanted to escape the summer heat, but I didn't expect this trip to have unexpected gains. In the Xi Culture Museum in Hushan, there are many marriage certificates of various ages. The earliest marriage certificate is from the 19th year of Guangxu, and the latest one is from the 1970s and 1980s. The Xi Culture Museum almost includes marriage certificates from various periods in modern China.
Every marriage certificate here has witnessed a happy moment. In the changing times, the owners of these certificates may no longer be found, but the yearning and pursuit of a happy life they left behind will be permanently left in the Xi Cultural Museum for future generations to watch and give future generations the power to pursue happiness.
In addition to the marriage certificate, there are many objects in the Xi Culture Museum that can evoke my childhood memories. Whether it's an enamel washbasin, an old photo frame or a complete set of teapots, they all look like home in childhood memories. With the rapid development of the motherland, these things have entered our memories from our lives, and they will be indelible throughout our lives.
Walking around in the Xi Culture Museum, I have the exclamation of the beginning of the article. It seems to have returned to the time when the parents were young. At that time, the father was high-spirited and the mother was young. They held hands together and stood under the rising sun, their eyes full of longing and yearning for the future. After decades of riding the wind and waves, our parents are old, and we have grown up. It is our turn to stand in front of our parents and continue to face the wind and waves.
The second floor of the Xi Culture Museum is a place to tell about folk gods, whether it is the gods in Taoist legends or the ancestors and protectors of all walks of life. No matter what industry we are in, what we fear is not ghosts and gods, but the wisdom of our ancestors and the blessings they left behind.
When it comes to Hushan, I have to mention gold mining in Hushan. The history of gold mining in Hushan can be traced back to a thousand years ago, and there are many gold mining sites and mines in the area. Throughout human history, gold absolutely occupies an important position. From ancient times to the present, gold has been a symbol of wealth and status.
Most people don't know much about gold mining, and I only got some preliminary understanding when I went to the Hushan Gold Museum. It turns out that only a few grams of pure gold can be extracted per ton of gold mine. No wonder gold is so expensive. However, this is also in line with the law of the operation of all things. The rarer something is, the more precious it is. The 50th anniversary of marriage is called a golden wedding. Fifty years of companionship, half a century of company in exchange for precious feelings that shine like gold. Most of our parents' marriages are approaching forty years, and I hope they can all hug each other on their golden wedding anniversaries.
The gold museum has a detailed introduction to the history of gold, gold mining, and gold smelting. There are also many legends and myths about gold, which are very interesting. There are also many relics, ores and ancient metal products left over from the gold mining age in the museum, which is a kind of eye-opening for both adults and children. The only pity is that the gold mine was not open when I went this time, so I couldn't go in to find out.
The alchemy in ancient China is actually that the ancients believed that gold would not deteriorate after a long period of storage, and expected to use this property into a elixir to be used on people, so as to achieve the good wish of people's immortality.
Due to limited time, we only visited these two exhibition halls. In fact, besides the exhibition halls, the natural scenery of Hushan is also very beautiful. There is a Mopan Valley where the roads are paved with millstones. There is a Shouting Spring in the Mopan Valley. The louder the shouting, the higher the fountain sprays. Friends who have practiced breathing can challenge it, which is very interesting. On the way back, I happened to be making zongzi by the side of the road. The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and some familiar smells began to linger in my mind again.
Many people say that the generation born in the 1980s is the most nostalgic generation. In fact, regardless of the generation, people have their own nostalgic times. Some people hide in their memories, while others need to see old things to be inspired. If you want to go back to the era of riding the wind and waves, you can go to Tiger Mountain to see, there are still many things that can remind people of the good times waiting for you.
