Press conference on the collection and torch transfer event of the 17th Games of Zhejiang Province, held in Jinhua this afternoon. The press conference revealed a message: The collection ceremony of the fire of the Provincial Games will be held on September 21 in the upper mountain archeological site park in Pujiang County.

The sacred fire collection address of the Provincial Games was carefully screened. It is understood that in the list of alternatives, a number of iconic locations such as Jinhua Guzi City and Dongyang Hengdian have been considered, but they finally selected the upper mountain archeological site park.

What kind of story is behind this?

Let's start with the collection of fire in the Provincial Games.

Founded in 1951, the Zhejiang Provincial Games was the largest, most participants, and the most complete projects in Zhejiang. The first session was held in 1951, and this time it was the 17th.

The initial provincial games did not have a torch collection ceremony. The earliest reports on this ceremony can be found, the 12th Provincial Games in 2002.

Speaking of the collection of the torch, many people have a "stereotype": the fire species comes from the sun, and the light is gathered through the lens, and then the torch is ignited.

The 12th Provincial Games was held in Wenzhou, and the collection ceremony was very special.

The collection point of the fire species was selected under the dawn rock of the Hundred Hall of Yanyang Mountain. This place was very popular at the time, and it was one of the first dawn of the new century's mainland of the new century.

The collection of the fire that year was collided with stones, and a "bang" sounded a spark, and then ignited the fire.

The 13th Provincial Games in 2006 was held in Taizhou.

Its fire collection point, there are 4 places, from the east, west, south, and north of Zhejiang: the "fire of hope" from Taizhou, the "fire of civilization" from Yuyao Hemu, and Qianjiang, the mother of Zhejiang, The "Qianjiang Fire" collected by the source of Kaihua County is also the "Revolutionary Fire" collected in Nanhu, Jiaxing.

After the collection of the Quartet Fire, it is collected into a fire of the Provincial Games: the fire of harmony.

In 2010, the Fourteenth Provincial Games was held in Jiaxing, and the land collection place was on the banks of the South Lake of the party.

In 2014, the 15th Provincial Games was held in Shaoxing.

This has a very strong historical and cultural meaning, because Shaoxing has cultural relics such as Dayu Mausoleum and Yu Temple, Yu Temple, and Yuxue. In the "Historical Records", Yu Biansu was buried in Hueiji, which is the record of Shaoxing now. There are a large number of historical legends related to Shun.

Therefore, Dayu Ling is also considered the birthplace of ancient Yue culture. Like the Trust of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Shaoxing section starts from Dayu Mausoleum.

The 16th Provincial Games held in 2018, located in Huzhou. The land collection place is the Qianshan Yang site in Wuxing District.

In 1956 and 1958, archaeologists discovered the oldest silk in China during the two excavations on the Qian Shanyang site. Previously, in 2015, this sports meeting was just awarded the honorary certificate and commemorative card of the "World Silk Source" issued by the State Council.

Let's look at the Provincial Games again, why do you collect the holy fire in the Archaeological Site Park?

This site is important.

In October last year, at the time of modern archeology, the State Administration of Cultural Relics announced the "Hundred Years of Archaeological Discovery", and the Shangshan site of the Pujiang River was on this "Top 100 Archeological Discovery" list.

Among them are extremely important archeological discoveries:

There are "Beijing Zhoukou Store Site", and I have learned it in textbooks.

Zhejiang has Yuyao Hemodu Sites and Yuhang Liangzhu Sites. Others include Yinxu in Henan, Qin Shihuang in Shaanxi, Hunan Changsha Mawangdui Han Tomb, and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu.

Why is this site so important?

From 2000, at that time, archaeologists unearthed a large number of cultural relics here, and some carbonized rice was unearthed. In 2002, archaeologists were sent to the Carbon Fourteen Laboratory of Peking University Wenbo College for measurement. In early February 2003, the annual data from Peking University showed that the age of Shangshan culture was about 11,000 to 9,000 years.

Exhibited carbonized rice

This is the earliest artificial cultivation of rice in the world to date, so it has also been considered by the archeological community as the origin of the world's rice civilization.

Because of the mountain culture, Zhejiang became "10,000 years Zhejiang". The mountain culture not only belongs to Zhejiang, but also belongs to China, but also witnesses the important step of human beings to move towards civilization.

A grain of rice was born of human hope. The Holy Fire Collection Ceremony will make the history and modern youthful vitality of Jiuyuan and the most beautiful spark.
