Chinese # 15 - Spring In Dazhai

The poster "Springtime in Dazhai" captures a bright and sunny spring day, with a refreshing breeze sweeping across the landscape. Dazhai, with its tiered terraced fields and crisscrossing water channels, is adorned with the vibrant colors of blooming flowers and lush green seedlings. Delegations of representatives from various grassroots rural areas have eagerly come to visit and learn from Dazhai. The former team leader, brimming with enthusiasm, guides them to observe the rice transplanting process and shares Dazhai's experiences in labor and production.

The delegates witness how the people of Dazhai, inspired and guided by the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, have carved terraced fields from mountains and transformed the landscape. They have achieved remarkable achievements in agriculture, which serve as a shining example. Encouraged by the spirit of Dazhai, the delegates are determined to take this inspiration back to their own communities. They aim to lead their fellow villagers to work diligently, persistently, and with renewed vigor, following the footsteps of the people of Dazhai. The objective is to create a new era of agricultural production in their hometowns.

The Dazhai village referred to here is located in Xiyang County, Shanxi Province. The region faced adverse natural conditions and poor land quality. Under the guidance of the Party branch, the people of Dazhai started their endeavor in 1953, by cutting through mountains, building terraces, and transforming the land. Upon learning about their efforts, Chairman Mao Zedong praised and recognized the people of Dazhai for their dedication and hard work. In December 1964, Premier Zhou Enlai called for a movement to "Learn from Daqing in Industry, Learn from Dazhai in Agriculture, and Learn from the People's Liberation Army" during the Government Work Report at the Third National People's Congress. Subsequently, the "Learn from Dazhai in Agriculture" movement was launched nationwide.
