Yifen Park is the first batch of Jinyang cultural theme parks in Taiyuan. The construction of the park is mainly to let the world know that Jinyang culture is an important part of China's excellent traditional culture. It is a rich cultural heritage given by history to Jinyang children. At the same time, it also reflects the indomitable character of people living in Jinyang area and the humanistic spirit of hard work and innovation.

1. Significance of matchbox sculpture:

In the center of the square with a diameter of 5 meters in the park is a matchbox sculpture with steel structure, which witnessed a history of Shanxi's modern industrial development: in the 18th year of Guangxu (1892), Shanxi Buzheng envoy Hu Zhaozhi founded the "Shanxi Matchbox Bureau" in Sanqiao Street, Taiyuan, which opened the curtain of Shanxi's modern industry. In 193, Jin Shang Qu Benqiao and Qiao Yuting bought a match bureau and named it "Shuang Fu Match Company" to produce "Shuang Fu" yellow phosphorus matches, which was the first precedent for Shanxi national capital to set up modern industry. In 1919, it was changed to produce "airship" brand phosphorus sulfide matches. In 193, the Central Plains War, Shanxi match industry fell into a trough. In 1934, Northwest Industrial Company bought Shuang Fu Match Company and formally established Northwest Match Factory on April 1st. In 1937, Japanese imperialism invaded China. In November, Taiyuan fell, and the Northwest Match Factory was converted into a field clothing and grain factory for military production. In August 1945, with the Japanese surrender, the match factory returned to the hands of Northwest Industrial Company. In April 1949, Taiyuan was liberated, and the original Northwest Match Factory was renamed Taiyuan Match Factory. In July 195, the State Council of the People's Republic of China issued the "Decision on Dangerous Factories Moving Out of Urban Areas within a Time Limit", and on June 13, 1951, Taiyuan Match Factory was moved to Pingyao, named as "Pingyao Match Factory". The square-inch matchbox not only reflects a commercial change, but also represents a practice of Shanxi businessmen to realize the ideal of patriotism and saving the country through business. Every practice has a special spirit as its soul, which is the most active dynamic force in practical activities, and those who engage in this practice are the creators and practitioners of this special spirit. The success of Shanxi businessmen lies in that they consciously or unconsciously carried forward patriotism, enterprising spirit, professionalism and group spirit under certain historical conditions, which we can call "Shanxi businessmen spirit". This spirit also runs through the business consciousness, organizational management and mental accomplishment of Shanxi merchants, which can be described as the soul of Shanxi merchants.

II. Introduction of Xu Jishe Sculpture

Xu Jishe (1795-1873), a native of Wutai, Shanxi Province, was named Jiannan, whose name was Songniche, and whose name was Pastoral. He was freely educated by his family and influenced by Confucianism. He was a scholar in Daoguang for six years (1826) and chose Jishi Shu, an academician's academy. In the tenth year of Daoguang (183), he was awarded the editing of the Hanlin Academy, and later served as the supervisor of the imperial history in Shaanxi and the magistrate in Xunzhou, Guangxi. In the 17th year of Daoguang (1837), he successively served as Shaodao in Fujian Yanjian, Tingzhang Longdao, Guangdong-Guangxi salt transport ambassador, Guangdong provincial judge ambassador, and Fujian deployment ambassador. In the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang (1846), he was appointed governor of Guangxi in October, and was granted governor of Fujian in December, and then served as governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. In his spare time, he wrote incessantly, made in-depth research and serious reflection, and spent five or six years before and after finishing the enlightening work Ying Huan Zhi Lue, which influenced the modernization process of China and enlightened China people's open consciousness. Ying Huan Zhi Lue accurately and incisively introduces the knowledge of the geographical position, historical evolution, features, specialties, commerce and trade of various countries in the world, and describes and annotates his own understanding and opinions on things in other countries in the form of comments, and analyzes the political, scientific and technological, economic situation of western countries with concise language and comments, which opens doors and windows for modern China people to know the world. Xu Jishe praised the great achievements of Washington, the first president of the United States, and his pioneering work in establishing the modern western democratic political system, and gave a high evaluation to Washington.

A lifetime's achievement is witnessed by a spire

Looking out the window of the White House where I live in Washington, D.C., the monument to our first president, George Washington, soars into the sky. This is a very high obelisk, but there is a small stone tablet next to this big monument, which reads: Milliken does not set the title of a prince, does not follow the rules of the world, and pays for the public opinion, creating a game that has never been seen before. These words were not written by Americans, but by Xu Jishe, the governor of Fujian. In 1853, the China government gave it as a gift. I am very grateful for this gift from China.
