Yangzhou information

Yangzhou, known as "the richest man in the world", is located in the middle of Jiangsu Province, bordering Taizhou and Yancheng in the east. It borders Liuhe County in Nanjing and Tianchang City in Anhui in the west. It faces the Yangtze River in the south and Zhenjiang across the river. North of Huai 'an City; The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Wanli Yangtze River, which run through the north and south, meet here. It has always been a land and water transportation hub, a throat for north-south water transportation, an important gateway to northern Jiangsu and a landscape garden city.

The origin of the name

Yangzhou was written as Yangzhou in ancient times (according to the fact that the word "Yang" in Hanshu was changed by "Mu" and "Hand" by later generations, and Wang Niansun has a detailed textual research). The name of Yangzhou was first seen in Shangshu Gong Yu: "Huaihai is just Yangzhou". This is a broad geographical concept in the minds of the ancients, including Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces in the vast areas of Huaishui, Yellow Sea and Yangtze River. According to Du You's Tong Dian in Tang Dynasty, there are 39 county capitals in Guyang Prefecture, 196 counties. Although this Yangzhou includes today's Yangzhou, it cannot be confused with today's Yangzhou.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were thirteen secretariat departments in China, including Yangzhou secretariat department. The jurisdiction of this secretariat is equivalent to Huaishui in Anhui today, Jiangsu and Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces south of the Yangtze River. Huangmei and Guangji in Yingshan, Hubei; Gushi, Henan, far away from cities and other places. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he lived in Liyang (now Hexian County, Anhui Province) and moved to Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) and Hefei (now northwest of Hefei City, Anhui Province) at the end of the year. In the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Wu established Yangzhou, Wei Zhi Shou Chun and Wu Zhi Jian Ye (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). After the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, it was still under construction (later renamed Jianye, later renamed Jiankang).

Today's Yangzhou is called Han in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guangling in the Qin and Han Dynasties, Jiangdu in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties and Wu Zhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yangzhou in Han Dynasty includes Jiangnan in Jiangsu, south of Huaihe River in Anhui and Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. In the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Wu each had Yangzhou, Wu Yangzhou ruled Jianye, and Wei Yangzhou ruled Shouchun. In the ninth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, Wu Zhou was changed to Yangzhou, but the headquarters was still located in Danyang (now Nanjing). In the eighth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (625), Yangzhou Academy was moved from Danyang to Jiangbei, and Guangling enjoyed the proper name of Yangzhou from then on.

Yangzhou culture

Yangzhou culture, like other regional cultures, is not an antique displayed in a museum cabinet, but a torch that illuminates the future in the mountains at night. In the strong mountain wind, sometimes it is radiant and sometimes it is dim. Many torches were blown out by the mountain wind, but the torch of Yangzhou culture did not go out, still shining. It has passed through the historical tunnel of more than two thousand years and has come to modern times and today.

The most resounding eulogy of Yangzhou culture is "Guangling Dui" written by Wang Zhong in Qing Dynasty. He recounted the heroic deeds of Yangzhou in the past two thousand years, the talent of literature and art, the behavior of filial sons and virgins, and the writings of celebrities and scholars. Generally speaking, it means "when a stranger comes out, the country will be bright." In the long history, he described Yangzhou's great contribution to the country in agriculture, salt and iron industry, transportation and other aspects, and also described Yangzhou's great sacrifice at the turning point in history. It is a famous historical city worthy of the world. Wang Zhong said this in the fifty-second year of Qianlong, that is, when the prosperity of Kanggan was coming to an end. Unlike Cao Xueqin, who wrote A Dream of Red Mansions, he could not foresee that the feudal building was about to collapse and Yangzhou was about to weaken.

Today's people praise Yangzhou culture and should push Song Zhenting. He said: "Yangzhou culture is the comprehensive culture of China. No matter what you like, you can find what you love. " He listed Yangzhou's contributions to historical sites, poetry, painting, religion, ancestral graves, food and gardens. His central meaning is: "Yangzhou is a good place to inspire the pride of the Chinese nation." He is full of praise for the advantages of Yangzhou culture. He also wrote about the future of Yangzhou, but the language was vague, because in the 1980s, the author had not yet felt the arrival of the wave of economic globalization.

Some people criticize Yangzhou culture, such as Zhu Ziqing, saying that Yangzhou people are "stingy and vain". Small eyes like beans, empty is a bluff. After Kanggan, the salt industry declined, and Yangzhou City was marginalized and closed for a long time, which was the root of eyes like beans. It has declined but remained rich, which is the root of bravado. Zhu Ziqing loves his hometown deeply, so he is very painful. He didn't hit the nail on the head about the decline of Yangzhou culture, but hit the nail on the head. Another mr. yi mocked Yangzhou people for being "lazy, romantic, decadent and depressed". Mr. yi finally lost the lawsuit, but mr. yi didn't. Who can say that those elements in Yangzhou's cultural genes today, such as meanness, talkativeness, fear of hardship, isolation and arrogance, have all disappeared?

A city has gradually acquired a cultural spirit since the day it was established. In the process of urban development, this cultural spirit has gradually changed, from conservative ignorance to high-spirited openness, or from striving for strength to negative decadence, and it will not remain unchanged. This is especially true in Yangzhou, which has experienced more than two thousand years of ups and downs. Ideology acts on the economy, but it is determined by the economic foundation, namely productivity and mode of production. The ancestors who waved the first shovel to dig ditches on our land and the people who use keyboards to direct the South-to-North Water Transfer Project at computer desks today will not have a unified value concept and way of thinking.

The most vigorous and powerful era of Yangzhou culture was in the Tang Dynasty. "The streets are full of willows, and the clouds reflect two cities", "The city bridge is brightly lit, and Guo Fanshui is nearly half a cow". Yangzhou's material civilization was created by Yangzhou people themselves. As you can imagine, people in Yangzhou walked on the Moon Bridge that day, with their heads held high and heroic. Yangzhou people wrote "Moonlit Night on the Spring River", in which they saw the vast rivers, bright moon and starlight, flying geese and diving ichthyosaurs. While seeing Wan Li, they thought of the universe of life. What later generations read is the grandeur, grandeur, grandeur, harmony between man and nature, wisdom and spirituality of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Yangzhou is not only Yangzhou for Yangzhou people, but also Yangzhou for the world. When the scholar arrived in Yangzhou, he reflected that "he is willing to learn Confucianism, and the book window will miss his life", so he was in high spirits and had other plans; When the frustrated man arrived in Yangzhou, he sang "Qian Fan by the shipwreck, Wan Muchun by the diseased tree", which made him see the light and hope. At that time, the flames of hope were shining everywhere in Yangzhou, and the drums of life were beating everywhere. Later generations imitate Tang poetry, and writing and not writing are always different. There is no other secret, because that era lacked the breath of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the city lacked the cultural spirit of Yangzhou in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. All imitation efforts are in vain.

The cultural spirit of Yangzhou tends to be "stingy and empty" in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The north-south traffic line was moved and the city was marginalized. Unfortunately, Xianfeng years became a tug-of-war field, and Lushe was in ruins. Yangzhou not only lost the central position of the Yangtze River Delta, but also lost the central position of the Central Jiangsu region and became a small town in the north of the Yangtze River. Pedicure and haircut have become the main industry, and fighting for ducks and chickens has become the main content of literary expression. What Yangzhou people see in their eyes is caged birds fighting insects, playing cards and mahjong, and it is no longer the boundless mountains. Yangzhou gradually sat in the well and watched the sky, so it became "stingy"; Yangzhou often mourns the glory of the past, so it has "virtual qi" With the unity of meanness and vanity, the germs of laziness and decadence infiltrate and wreak havoc. It is not unreasonable to say that Yangzhou culture in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is close to the culture of "settled prodigal son".

Yangzhou culture is a long story. Say it is brilliant, say it is declining, say it is high-spirited, say it is decadent and depressed, say it is extensive and profound, say it is declining, there is a certain basis, depending on the angle of intervention, depending on which stage of history is evaluated. Culture is dynamic, so is the fire of Yangzhou culture. Fortunately, in recent decades, the trend of Yangzhou culture is to be reborn, refreshed and rise, which is an indisputable fact.

Stone and petrochemical book

Qionghua is a rare famous flower in history. Every year in March and April of the lunar calendar, Qionghua is in full bloom. Each flower is as big as a jade plate, surrounded by eight small jade petals. When the breeze blows, it gives off a faint fragrance. Many literati in history wrote touching poems for it, and the story of "Yang Di went down to Yangzhou to see Qionghua" made this flower even more mysterious. These poems emphasize that Qionghua is a unique product of Yangzhou. The stone carving of Qionghua Zhenmu inscribed by Ruan Yuan in Qing Dynasty in Yangzhou Museum depicts the pattern of Qionghua, which is no different from the gathering of the Eight Immortals we see today. It can be inferred that the Qionghua sung by the ancients is today's Eight Immortals Party. In view of the close relationship between Yangzhou and Qionghua, the 16th National Committee of the First People's Congress of Yangzhou decided to designate Qionghua as the city flower of Yangzhou in July 1985.

Paeonia lactiflora has been regarded as a flower of luck and love since ancient times. Peony cultivation in Yangzhou began in Sui and Tang Dynasties and flourished in Song and Qing Dynasties. According to the records of past dynasties, Paeonia lactiflora is "everywhere, and Yangzhou is the best", and "the species of Paeonia lactiflora has pushed Yangzhou since ancient times". Today, there are hundreds of varieties of Paeonia lactiflora in Yangzhou, which reproduces the elegance of that year. In 2005, according to public opinion, Yangzhou decided to designate Paeonia lactiflora as the flower of Yangzhou.

Ginkgo biloba is known as the "national tree" of China. Jiangsu is the largest hometown of ancient ginkgo in China, and Yangzhou ranks in the forefront of Jiangsu Province. There are 93 ginkgo biloba plants in Yangzhou for more than 100 years, which is the oldest ginkgo biloba in Yangzhou. When retreating from Shita Road, the height of the tree is more than 20 meters, and the crown diameter is 18 meters. This tree faces the Tang Stone Pagoda and has become one of the landmark scenic spots in Yangzhou. Ai Xuan, a famous writer, was full of praise for Ginkgo biloba. "It is the carrier of Yangzhou city history, the soul of Yangzhou culture and the symbol of living Yangzhou city." 1985, the Municipal People's Congress decided to call it Yangzhou Tree.

Yangzhou is known as "Qingyang Castle", and willow is one of the symbols of Yangzhou. Yang Di dug a canal under Yangzhou, planted willows on both sides of the canal and named them after their surnames, hence the name "Liu Yang". Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, willow trees have had a direct relationship with the scenery of Yangzhou.
