Tourism culture

Yancheng and salt

On the coast of the Yellow Sea, there is an area near Huanghuai in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. The terrain here is flat, the climate is mild, the rivers and lakes are densely covered, and the vegetation is fragrant. This area of 6.5438+0.5 million square kilometers is called Yancheng. Yancheng has lived on salt for thousands of years. The history of Yancheng is a clear history of salt culture. Yancheng is also a salt museum, which is as rich as salt, very intriguing and interesting.

The history of salt

Yancheng produces salt every day. In ancient times, the Huaihe River entered the sea in the north of Yancheng, which was called "the land of Huai Yi" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Before the Han dynasty, some people boiled salt in the sea water on the seashore north and south of Huaihe River. Huaihe River has two regions, namely, north and south, and Yancheng, Yangzhou and Nantong are in Huainan. The salt produced in these places is called Huainan salt. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bi, nephew of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, was part of the fief. He made a fortune by cooking salt, so he rose up and rebelled against the throne. The Han court realized that salt was an indispensable and irreplaceable material in people's lives, and it was also closely related to national security. Minister Sang Hongyang published The Theory of Salt and Iron, which made the theory of salt and iron must be controlled by the court. Therefore, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, salt and iron were "caged in the world" and were managed by officials. The government raises people to benefit from salt, and officials collect, transport and sell salt. Later, the officials in charge were called salt and iron officials. Not long ago, an ancient salt-making iron plate was unearthed in Yancheng, on which the characters of salt officials were cast, indicating that ancient salt-making was closely controlled by salt officials. Since then, all dynasties have been ruled by the Han dynasty, and salt affairs have been directly managed by the central governing body. In the Han Dynasty, the Ministry of Agriculture was in charge of the central government, and in the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Salt Affairs was specially promoted to be in charge of salt. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Salt Department was in charge of the whole province, and in the Qing Dynasty, salt inspection was established. There is a special and strict management system below, and local officials are not allowed to intervene. Sales are handled by salt merchants selected and approved by the Salt Administration. Ordinary people will be severely punished if they are forbidden to make, transport or sell salt.

At first, salt was boiled directly with seawater; After the Song Dynasty, seawater was first made into brine with high salt content, and then salt was fried in a pot with brine. From the end of Qing dynasty, it gradually developed into using the heat of the sun to dry salt. With the progress of technology, the output of salt has been increasing, and the court has benefited more and more. From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, salt revenue accounted for one-third to two-thirds of the country's total fiscal revenue. People in the Yuan Dynasty said, "The country is rich in salt." . Salt tax accounted for 80% of the national income at that time. Yancheng is a concentrated producing area of Huai salt, and the tax revenue of Huai salt accounts for one-third to two-thirds of the total national tax revenue.

Due to the vicissitudes of life, the coastline of the Yellow Sea has been continuously silted and extended eastward, and the salt-producing areas have been continuously moved northward. However, the coastal areas of the Yellow Sea in the north-central part of Yancheng are still important salt-producing bases in China.

Salt name

Yancheng was born with the surname salt. In the fourth year of founding ceremony, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (1 19 BC), the eastern part of ancient Sheyang County and a part of the Yellow Sea were demarcated by the imperial court, and another county was established, called Du Yan County. Disruption is a ditch or waterway, so salt blasphemy is a salt river. This is the first time that the emperor officially gave Yancheng the surname "salt". In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Du Yan changed her name to Yancheng because of "saltworks around the city", and this name has continued to this day. Many other place names in the county are also related to salt. In order to manage the salt policy, the imperial courts of past dynasties set up strict management institutions from top to bottom. For example, the highest management institution of salt policy in Yuan Dynasty was Zhongshu Province, that is, the central government, and the management institutions at all levels below were Zhongshu Province-Salt Transportation Department-Division-Field-Regiment-Salt Household (in some dynasties, it was called Pavilion Household). In ancient times, the salt transportation department, a full-time management institution of salt administration in two Huai 'an provinces, was located in Yangzhou and Huai 'an respectively, and Yancheng was a salt production base and transit distribution center. Therefore, most local place names are related to the surnames of Tian, Cang, Tuan and Yandu. On the map of Huaibei saltworks drawn in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, * * * has 30 saltworks, of which 13 is located in Yancheng now. The famous saltworks are: Bai Juchang, the hometown of Shi Naian, the author of Water Margin; Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the salt uprising; Caoyanchang, the writing place of Li Ruzhen, the author of Mirror Flower Garden. In addition, there are some unique places that produce dead peony, such as Wuyouchang, Dingxichang, Liuzhuangchang, Xituan and Biancang ... Many places in Yancheng are related to ancient salt-making methods and tools. Boiling seawater requires a lot of firewood, which must be cut down in advance to dry and piled up for later use, hence the names Cao Yan, Heduo and Duoduo. Cooking salt requires stoves and pots, so there are many small villages called stoves and pots. In ancient Yancheng, there were many rivers transporting salt, from waterway to south to the intersection of Yangtze River and Grand Canal, and from north to Huai 'an, the intersection of Huanghuai. The most important salt river is called Chuanchang River, which is an artificial canal dug in Qing Dynasty. From south to north, it runs through more than ten salt fields in Yancheng, which is the main channel for salt transportation in Yancheng. The place name "surname" is salt, which was the case in ancient times and is still the case now. In the 1990s, Yancheng was relocated to build a county, and people named it Du Yan, which is still called "salt". According to the statistics of Yancheng City, there are hundreds of place names in Yancheng City, two thirds of which are related to salt, and they are all "surnames" of salt.

Yancheng salt official is famous. In ancient times, because salt was the economic lifeline of the imperial court, emperors were very cautious in selecting and appointing salt officials. They are either talented people or cronies of the emperor, so there are many celebrities among the salt officials. There are also some junior salt officials who have achieved good results in managing salt policy and have been promoted to court officials. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Yan Shu, Lv Yijian and Fan Zhongyan were all sent to Yancheng-Xixi Salt Warehouse as junior salt officials. This salt warehouse supervisor only supervises the production, storage and transportation affairs of five salt fields, such as Baimao and Dingxi, which is about equivalent to the director of today's salt management institute. Xixi, located in Dongtai, Yancheng, is the seat of salt warehouse supervision. Yan Shu is the person who wrote a new word, "Have a drink. Last year, the weather got old. When does the sun go down? " ? Helpless flowers fall, deja vu, Yan GUI, Xiang Jing alone wanders. This is a very famous word, and its epigraph is Huanxisha. According to textual research, this word was written in Xixi. Yan Shu's sense of loneliness and loss is revealed between the lines. He is a gifted scholar, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with being a small official like the salt warehouse supervisor. However, when he was in office, he made some achievements, not only managing salt affairs, but also running schools in Xixi and cultivating talents. In Xixi area, both salt merchants and salt people have trained talents for them. This is also a good thing. For thousands of years, the local people have not forgotten him, and they also called a nearby stream Yan Xi. Later, he came to the court to participate in politics, that is, the prime minister.

The successor supervisor of the salt warehouse is Lv Yijian. In Xixi Man, he wrote a poem about peony flowers, "What's the offshore cliff repair for? "You should hate driving the east wind and move into Wudi Mansion with your arms around you?" He was dissatisfied with being a small official like a salt warehouse supervisor to the point of complaining, and his heart was very painful. However, according to the local people, he was also a good supervisor of salt storage, so he later became prime minister. In Xixi, Fan Zhongyan wrote a five-character poem named "Feeling the Xixi": "Who teaches Xixi to be small, Xixi makes great talents." I know that the two prime ministers have been here. "Prime Minister Zhi Er" refers to his predecessors Yan Shu and Lv Yijian. In Xixi, Fan Zhongyan not only supervised salt storage seriously and excellently, but also volunteered, endured humiliation and made great efforts to do an extraordinary thing: he led the people to build 1 and 8 1 Li seawalls from Tongzhou (now Nantong) to Haizhou (now Lianyungang), which blocked the dangerous tide and safeguarded the lives and property of the people in the seawalls. This levee was later called "Gongfan Dike" by the world. Fan Zhongyan later became a political adviser because of his outstanding talent. In a small place in Xixi, three small salt officials became prime ministers, which is rare in other places.

The salt scenery in Yancheng is really charming. Salt can become a beautiful scenery, which I never thought before I went to the salt-producing area. For thousands of years, the production of Huai salt has gradually evolved from cooking seawater with firewood to drying salt with the heat energy of the sun. Edible salt will consume countless firewood as fuel, causing great pollution to the environment. It is said that at that time, in the coastal area of Yancheng, more than 500 kilometers away, "fireworks were three hundred miles, and stoves were fried all over the sky." Between the sea and the air, smoke billowed and water vapor smoked people. People who cook on the stove burn a fire by the salt stove day and night, pour brine, scrape salt, pick salt on the pot ..., wind and sun, smoke burning. Drying salt is very different. When the tide is high, let the tide flow into the water storage channel, which is called tide acceptance. Then, the seawater is pumped into the salt pond for insolation and evaporation of water. When the seawater in the pool is sunned into brine with high salt content, the brine is concentrated in the crystallization pool, and the brine is sunned into salt again in the pool to crystallize into salt. Later, the crude salt was crushed by machine to remove impurities and processed into edible salt, nutrient salt, medical salt and industrial salt. The whole salt-making process does not use fuel, so it consumes less energy, eliminates pollution and reduces labor intensity. In particular, it will create an unparalleled landscape-under the blue sky, on the edge of the sea, the endless salt pond is full of salt flowers. They are sparkling, like frost, snow, jade, pearls, crystals, glass fragments ... When picking salt, the salt workers pile it up first, and the seaside looks like a white hill more than 20 meters high. Strolling through it reminds people of Mount Fuji, a famous Japanese scenic spot on the other side of the Yellow Sea. There are no mountains in Ma Pingchuan in Yancheng. God thinks it is unfair, so he sends countless white salt mountains to Yancheng. They are really beautiful under the blue sky, the Yellow Sea, the red sunshine and the green reed beach in the distance! It's a pleasure to browse in this landscape!

Not only that, the ancients also left Yancheng with the river channel, wharf, the former site of the salt official residence, the residence of salt merchants, the secret room of Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the salt uprising, the brine pool, the pot iron, the salt stove, the salt pan and the salt. ...
