湘剧《园丁之歌》是一九七二年九月出笼的。时值林彪反党集团发动的反革命政变阴谋被彻底粉碎一年以后。当时,全国人民正在毛主席和党中央领导下,深入揭发批判林彪反党集团的滔天罪行,文化教育战线同其它战线一样,形势一派大好。但是,在大好形势下,社会上又刮起了一股所谓批极“左”的右倾翻案妖风,对无产阶级文化大革命疯狂反扑。就是在这股妖风中,《园丁之歌》这出有严重错误的坏戏,应运而生,为反革命修正主义教育路线招魂,这是阶级斗争和两条路线斗争在文化教育领域的尖锐反映。这出曾经被一些人吹捧为“教育革命赞歌”的小戏,根本不去表现文化大革命以来教育 Xiang Opera “Gardener Song” was released in September 1972. When the anti-revolutionary coup plot launched by the Lin Piao anti-Party clique was completely smashed a year later, At that time, under the leadership of Chairman Mao and the party Central Committee, the people throughout the country thoroughly exposed the heinous crimes of criticizing the anti-party clique of Lin Piao and fought for the same in their cultural and educational fronts as the other fronts. However, under a favorable situation, there has been a whiff of the so-called “leftist” rightist defeat in the community and a frenzied counterattack against the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. It is in this monsters that the song “Gardener”, a serious and erroneous one, emerges as the times require to reclaim the counterrevolutionary revisionist line of education. This is a sharp reflection of the class struggle and the two-line struggle in the field of culture and education. This is a small show once touted by some as a “hymn of education revolution,” not to show the education since the Cultural Revolution
