The sunset melted gold, staining the streams of Jingu Village in Jingu Town, Anxi County red. By the creek, the curved surface of the stainless steel sculpture "Bathing in Starlight" reflects sparkling waves, forming an artistic scene of the mountain village with the painted walls on the shore and children jumping on the stone road. This once unknown small mountain village is now famous for a butterfly transformation called "Art Illuminates the Countryside". Before, this water ditch was a muddy beach where debris was piled up, and the smell was very unpleasant. ”Villager Lao Chen pointed to the neat footpath and the art pieces dotted between them and sighed, "Now it's good. City people specifically drive to see our village's' artistic toilet ', and it's all rare to hear!" The "artistic toilet" he referred to is one of the creations of Jingu Village's "turning stone into gold". Zhang Jinchuan, the deputy mayor of Jingu Town, led the reporter to a uniquely designed public toilet: the concrete base is covered with local unique stacked stones, with a rough and modern shape, cleverly transforming the practical facilities into a piece of earth art integrated into the environment. The artists in our village designed their own works, using barren stones and old farming tools as materials for artistic creation, creating a rare 'internet celebrity check-in spot' for city dwellers. ”Zhang Jinchuan's tone was filled with pride. Behind the transformation of Jingu Village, it is the vivid practice of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department carefully creating the brand of "Art Illuminates the Countryside" and continuously promoting high-quality cultural resources to reach the grassroots level. Anxi County has designated Jingu Village as a cultural revitalization pilot and invested 18 million yuan in special funds to systematically renovate its infrastructure under the guidance of an expert team. You see, "Zhang Jinchuan showed the planning map to the reporter," we have completed the "white to black" transformation of 2.3 kilometers of riverbank roads, added 1.5 kilometers of artistic railings, and added 120 parking spaces... Art has really brought this mountain corner to life. "The most intuitive return is the leap in tourism data: the village collective ticket revenue has skyrocketed from zero to 800000 yuan last year, and 12 households have opened themed homestays based on artistic landscapes. The muddy beach and abandoned old houses, which were once filled with debris, have now become an art space for tourists to linger and a "golden rice bowl" for villagers to increase their income. Under the setting sun, the aroma of coffee wafted from the art restaurant in Boluo Creek Valley. On the students' sketchboards, the new appearance of the mountain village and the gurgling stream water painted a picture of revitalization together. From obscurity to fame, the forgotten stones and plants of Jingu Village are transforming into an "exhibition" in the light and shadow of the times, illuminating the dawn and dusk of the countryside.
