Although this place at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian is a village, it is called "city", and outsiders can't understand the dialect at all.

Do you know that?/You know what? More than 600 years ago, the coastal areas of Zhejiang were often invaded by Japanese pirates, who committed various crimes. In order to prevent the wanton aggression of the Japanese, the Ming government at that time built many fortifications and city walls to fight against the Japanese. Among them, Puzhuang Suocheng, located in mazhan town Township, Cangnan County at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, is one of them.

The name of Puzhuang Town has a long history. It used to be a corner of Puwan, but because of tidal fluctuation and sediment deposition, a beach with calamus and reeds gradually formed here. It is reported that 1500 years ago, someone came here to weave a door with the leaves of Pu, and it has been called Pumen ever since. Later, the Ming Dynasty built this city to fight against Japanese pirates. After the merger of the orthodox fog city in eight years, it was collectively called "Puzhuang City", so it was called Pucheng.

Puzhuang Castle is an ancient coastal defense castle building in China, with a total length of about 2,500 meters, a wall height of about 5 meters, a bottom width of 7 meters and a top width of 4 meters. This city is a round place, facing the sea, backed by mountains, with a moat outside and a direct access to Pujiang.

Puzhuang is a well-preserved anti-Japanese city in Ming Dynasty in China, with well-preserved location and reasonable layout. Cross the city gate and enter the city. The exterior walls of the buildings here are all made of big stones, but the interior is compacted with concrete. The streets and alleys in the city are not very spacious, and the houses are closely connected one after another. According to the tour guide, the current urban pattern has not changed since the Ming Dynasty, nor have the ancient buildings such as the Town God Temple, Mazu Tempel and the residential groups in southern Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe it was a magnificent castle when we fought against the Japanese, but now it is an ancient village full of vicissitudes. Walking in this city, we see many local people living here. Everything is full of vitality and life is very strong.

From the outside, the layout of every household here is very simple, and there is always a look back to the 1990 s. The old man's face is full of traces left by years, but it is so kind; Children's immature eyes and curiosity about the world; Middle-aged people are at home in twos and threes. What are they talking about?

Walking, I heard the locals talking, and I was curious to ask if they were speaking Wenzhou dialect. After all, Cangnan belongs to Wenzhou. The locals told me that they spoke the city dialect. I'm a little surprised. What is the urban dialect? The tour guide told me that although this place is at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, they can neither speak Minnan dialect nor Wenzhou dialect, and their dialect here is also a unique Puzhuang dialect formed after hundreds of years of evolution and development.

No matter how the wheel of years turns, the city no longer needs to fight the Japanese. Perhaps in this peaceful era, what can move us more is the fireworks here. This is a very small tourist attraction. Walking in the city, there are not many tourists, which can make us feel the city more fully. Time is quiet, okay? How many people know Puzhuang city? How many people have been here?
