A county-level city with a population of only 900,000, almost unknown, spent the Nobel Prize in Literature because of the writer Mo Yan, let the world know the meaning of its existence. It is Mo Yan's hometown gaomi.
Gaomi is also my hometown. From birth to college, I never left it.

Twenty-one years ago, I walked out of here and saw the outside world. When I was studying, I first went to Yantai, then to Jinan, and then to Qingdao for work.
Some people say that Shandong people love family. I can't argue. In the nearly confused years, I have only been to Beijing in the north and Suzhou to Suzhou and other places in the south. The outside world is wonderful and helpless. So I'll often go home and take a look. One is that the parents are old, one is happy, one is afraid. Second, when the outside world is helpless, the hometown is the best refuge and healing place.
My hometown is high, and I am always proud of it. I remember that among the students, there was a famous saying that encouraged morale, "Today I am proud of the school, tomorrow the school is proud of me." If the "school" is moved to the "hometown", it can also be passed. But for ordinary people like me, I am afraid that I can only be proud of my hometown. In the eyes of the hometown people, Lin Jianhua, the former president of Peking University, is our high-density pride.
Gao mi's foreign propaganda generally uses these twelve words: "Dayu fengguo, the hometown of the three sages, and the hometown of Mo Yan."

I have to say that Gaomi is a fertile land of culture, and too many cultural celebrities have come out of here. It is said that Gaomi was a fief of Dayu. There is also a saying that dayu surname is 姒, the name wenming, the word is high.
Is the Great Yu who controls the water really sealed in Gaomi? Is the word really high-density? The confusing truth has long been annihilated in the dust of history, difficult to touch and indecipherable. In my eyes, the four words "Great Yu Fengguo" are just a beautiful legend. But that's enough, it's enough to make this little city more charming.
The history of Ke kao is the eight words of "hometown of the three sages and hometown of Mo Yan".
The first of the three sages was Qi Xiangyan in the late Spring and Autumn period. He was the Grand Master of the State of Qi, and successively served as the Three Dynasties of Linggong, Zhuanggong, and Jinggong. In the middle school textbooks, we have all learned the stories of "Yan Zi Makes Chu" and "Two PeachEs Kill Three Soldiers". I never expected that he was a high-secret person.
Yan Bao had obstructed Qi Jinggong from sealing the Area of Nixi with Confucius, which had always made me grumble. Confucius was generous and did not mind at all, and once commented that "Yan Ping Zhongshan is good at making friends with people and respecting them for a long time." Sages, disrespect, disrespect.

The second of the three sages was zheng xuan, a master of scripture at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zheng Xuan, the character Kangcheng, was later known as the "Jing God".
In the first "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is mentioned in the "Feast taoyuan Haojie Three Knots of Righteousness and The First Meritorious Service of the Yellow Turban Hero" that Liu Bei Liu Xuande was "fifteen years old, his mother traveled to study, tasted the teachers Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, and was friends with Gongsun Zhan and others." "Was Liu Bei also a protégé of Zheng Xuan?" The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms does not say, only that Liu Bei was a teacher of Lu Zhi. Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi both studied under the scribe Ma Rong. This is a fact.
Zheng Xuan's birthplace is close to me. When I was a child, my friends and I often gathered at the "Zheng Gong Ancestral Hall". Because this is the largest reservoir in Shandong Province - Xiashan Reservoir Reservoir Area. We can go paddling in the water and play in the "Zheng Gong Ancestral Hall".
"Zheng Gong Ancestral Hall" is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit established to commemorate Zheng Xuan. Nowadays, on the west wall of the "Zheng Gong Ancestral Hall" hangs the four characters of "Daxian Zhengxuan" handwritten by Mo Yan. Seeing these four words, the sigh of "zheng xuan in the past, mo yan in the present" was born in his heart.
There seemed to be a force in the darkness that pulled me and Zheng Xuan far and closer. When I was in graduate school, we knew about Zheng Xuan's great role in the process of unifying modern and ancient classics and his great contributions to the history of classics, ideas, and education.
After work, I actually met Zheng Xuan unexpectedly. In the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the Great Uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, Zheng Xuan and his students came to Buqi Mountain to avoid the chaos, and founded the Kangcheng Academy here to teach the scriptures. And the location of my work unit is the former site of Kangcheng College. Nowadays, there are still traces of Kangcheng culture such as Shuyuan Village, Shuyuan Reservoir, and Yanli Village.

The third of the three sages was Liu Yong, the chancellor of the Qianlong dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. Liu Yong (墉墉), courtesy name Chongru, was a politician, calligrapher, and eldest son of Liu Tongxun, a university scholar. His hometown was in the village of Qigezhuang in the Zhugou community of Chaigou Town, Gaomi City.
More than twenty years ago, a TV series called "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" swept the country. Its theme song "QingGuan Ballad" in the "Qing Official's Ballad" "There is a scale between heaven and earth, and the scale is the common people, and the scale pole picks the country and the mountains. You are the star that sets the plate" is even more well-known.
Surprisingly, I even had some relationship with Liu Luoguo, the prime minister of the hall.
My grandfather told me personally that his mother was a descendant of Liu Yong. At that time, my grandfather's father, that is, my grandfather, was a Xiucai during the Qing Guangxu period and was a local landlord. At that time, marrying a wife was a door-to-door pair. When he married Liu Yong's descendant Liu Shi from Qigezhuang back home, the scenery was unique for a while. My grandmother's dowry also has a fan written by Liu Yong himself.
Unfortunately, today it is long gone. This origin cannot be verified. But it is true.
Gaomi is Mo Yan's hometown. Mo Yan is a root-seeking writer in his hometown of Gaomi as a literary kingdom. Some people have commented that Gaomi is not only Mo Yan's hometown in the geographical sense, but also the literary hometown that he has painstakingly built on the road of literary creation for decades, and a literary kingdom that belongs to him.

He unfolded his narrative in this imaginative land and dug deeper into history, extending into the vast Chinese countryside. Gao Mi gave Mo Yan literature nourishment, and Mo Yan also paid the highest literary tribute to Gao Mi.
Gaomi, this small cultural city, is indeed worth savoring. It also features Grey New Year paintings, clay sculptures and paper cuts, known as the "Three Treasures" of Chinese folk art. In addition, there are local cultures and specialties such as high density and thick cavity, red sorghum culture, embroidery, strip weaving, and kitchen knives. Traditional delicacies such as fire, dates, high-density roasted chicken, and high-density oven buns are also waiting for you here.
If you have visited famous mountains and rivers, you may wish to change your taste and go to a small cultural town to salvage a piece of dusty history. There is a quiet and beautiful, simple style, worth having connotation of you, go for a walk, take a look.
