I'll give you the materials. Make it up yourself.

Make the root culture famous.

According to experts' research, Fujian and Taiwan have the same roots and ancestors as Gushi, and they are the ancestral homes of compatriots from Fujian, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. Historically, due to the change of dynasties, wars and the pressure of life, Gushi people moved south many times, including four large-scale immigrants, exceeding 100, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which made the culture of the Central Plains widely spread. Today, Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places still use Gushi dialect and stick to Gushi customs. As a result, Gushi has become a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese in the Central Plains and the hometown of Tang people at home and abroad, and created a "root culture" phenomenon of "Taiwan Province Province visited Fujian ancestors and Zhang Jiangsi returned to Gushi".

Cognitive root, thick and solid.

"Great trees must have roots; The water in Hu Aishan must have its source. " The so-called "same blood" is the continuation of the same surname, the blood relationship of the same nation, and the friendship of the same root. The so-called "root pass culture" is a cultural phenomenon that has emerged and developed from the root pass, and is connected by blood. It belongs to historical culture in a broad sense and regional culture in a narrow sense. In essence, it is the pursuit of culture, psychological identification and conversion of soul.

Root culture is particularly prominent in Gushi County. From the content point of view, it mainly includes the following aspects:

1, surname culture. In the second year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 308), in order to avoid the "Eight Kings Rebellion", Lin, Huang, Chen, Zheng, Zhan, Qiu, He and Hu moved south to Fujian in Gushi. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Yuanguang and his son led more than 7000 family names and more than 80 government soldiers to Quanzhou and Chaozhou towns to calm down the chaos. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Wang brothers led more than 50 people with more than 5,000 surnames to Fujian, and all of them settled there. At the end of the Song Dynasty, surnames such as Chen, Dai, Min, Ye and Hou moved south to Fujian in the footsteps of their ancestors, and their descendants gradually spread to Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asian countries after dozens of generations. In the Qing Dynasty, more than 3,000 people in Gushi moved to Fushan, Shandong Province, and settled here. In addition, before Gushi, Jiangguo, Frant Gwo, Guo, Jiang, Fan and Guo all had Yan surnames. As the root of Chinese people all over the world, it is also one of the ancestral places of family ties. Many people carve "Gwangju Gushi" on tombstones, on the pillars of their ancestors, and write it into genealogy, which is circulated in blood. According to the census of 1953, among the most popular surnames of 100 in Taiwan Province, 63 surnames (accounting for 80.9% of the total population) are clearly recorded in the genealogy: ancestors came from Gushi County, Gwangju, Henan Province. Since 1980s, more than 20 clansmen associations with surnames have been established in Gushi, and nearly 50 clansmen have visited relatives in Gushi on a large scale. For example, in 2005, the Huang clan was close to 300 people, and in 2007, nearly a thousand people from Quanzhou, Fujian, such as Chen and Lin, went to Gushi to seek roots and worship their ancestors.

2. Farming culture. Gushi county has had a good style of "home of farming and reading" since ancient times, so that farming and reading can help students study and reading can help students practice. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Shuai of Chu Dynasty led the villagers to design and build the Huaihe River Irrigation District, which was known as "not seeking heaven for a hundred miles", nearly 400 years earlier than Dujiangyan. Eight surnames entered Fujian at the end of Jin Dynasty, bringing advanced agricultural production tools and technologies from the Central Plains, promoting the transformation of Fujian's production mode, improving rice planting technology and popularizing wheat planting. After Wang Lingbing entered Fujian town to calm down the chaos, he cultivated agriculture and mulberry, built water conservancy projects, developed production, and applied advanced production tools and water conservancy technology from the Central Plains to the local area, which made the local people's lives stable, agricultural production resumed and the economy developed for a long time. Some water conservancy projects built are still valid today.

3. Political culture. Several large-scale immigrants in Gushi were influenced by political factors. Eight surnames entered Fujian to avoid war. In the early Tang Dynasty, Chen and his son were sent to Fujian to quell the "troubled times". Influenced by the political climate of Huang Chao Uprising, the Wangs entered Fujian and moved to Fushan in the late Qing Dynasty to consolidate coastal defense. At the same time, after Chen Yuanguang entered Fujian, Zhangzhou was established as a county. After entering Fujian, the Wang brothers, like their father and son, attacked the mighty, practiced the rule of law, selected talents, appointed wise men, married Han and barbarians, benefited farmers by business, developed the economy, and promoted the "benevolence" and "unification" of the Central Plains culture. By the end of the Five Dynasties, Fujian had been regarded as the hometown of literati and Confucian scholars, and developed with the Central Plains in politics, military affairs and culture. The efforts of generations of immigrants from Gushi not only made the southeast frontier production develop and the nationalities gradually merged, but also greatly improved the administrative ability of the court and consolidated the southeast coastal defense. Since Chen and his son immigrated for more than a thousand years, there has never been a separatist regime against the central government in southern Fujian. Zheng's descendants entered Fujian with the king and recovered Taiwan Province Province from the Dutch colonists. Shi Lang, a descendant of Shi's family, helped the Qing Dynasty unify Taiwan Province Province. Chen and Wang also became a political symbol because of their outstanding military exploits and outstanding political achievements. After their death, they were called "Zhang Kai Wang Sheng" and "Enlightened Zhong Yi Wangwang" by posthumous title, and were worshipped by people in Gushi, Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan.

4. Language and culture. Human migration not only promotes the development of culture, but also promotes the great changes of language as the most important communication tool for human beings. Because several large-scale visits to Fujian after the end of the Western Jin Dynasty were mainly from Gushi, Henan Province, the Central Plains culture brought by immigrants came down in one continuous line, which was superior to Fujian, and the Central Plains dialect became the local official language. Therefore, Gushi dialect is undoubtedly the most important basic part in the formation of Fujian dialect. According to experts' research, the pronunciation of Minnan dialect today is closest to the official pronunciation of "Qieyun" in Sui and Tang Dynasties. In phonetics, the initial "Qieyun" has heavy lip sounds such as bang, side, harmony and Ming, while the light lip sounds have not yet differentiated. In the initial "Qieyun", the first category is open, and the second category is closed, so is the Fujian dialect. The vocabulary terms such as "Ding" (pot), "Bamboo" (chopsticks), "Eating" (eating), "Assumption" and "Reading" (reading) that are still preserved in Minnan dialect can be found in the poems of the Central Plains in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Grammatically, Minnan dialect still retains the word-formation mode of "head word+modifier" in ancient Chinese, such as hen (hen), head (head) and vegetable (vegetable). In a word, Min dialect belongs to a branch of Chinese in language, vocabulary and grammar, and its origin can be traced back to the Central Plains including Gushi before Sui and Tang Dynasties.

5. Folk culture. With several large-scale immigrants from Gushi, the customs of the Han nationality in the Central Plains were also introduced into Fujian. Up to now, Fujian people still retain the Gushi life customs such as drinking tea, eating pickled chickens, ducks and geese, steaming rice cakes and frying rice cakes during the Spring Festival. Minnan people gradually deified Gushi people who had made great contributions to Fujian's development, such as Wang and his family, and built shrines for them, all of which were influenced by the folk beliefs in the Central Plains. In addition, according to the data, Fujian puppet show, bamboo and horse dance and other artistic activities were also created by Gushi immigrants.

It is not difficult to see from the above that the main features of Genpro culture are:

1, geopolitics. Root culture itself is a person who has left his hometown to pursue his hometown, and his homesickness remains unchanged for a long time, influenced by regional culture. For example, in language, customs, eating habits, and belief culture, there is a strong primitive "ancestral land" color. The pursuit of the ancestral land of the same surname by the surname clan is based on the roots and the branches, and the ancestor worship is based on the original place rather than the different places, which is influenced by the regional culture. It is precisely because of this that Minnan people believe that the roots are in Gushi and not elsewhere.

2. Legacy. Fujian and Gushi, regardless of agricultural water conservancy technology, language, customs, art and surnames, retain the roots of the Central Plains culture and are nourished by the Central Plains culture. They are of the same origin and come down in one continuous line, especially in seeking roots and ancestors and paying attention to blood relationship.

3. openness. Root culture is not only a one-way flow of original culture, but also a process of absorption, integration and influence with local culture. The reason why the Central Plains culture can continue to spread in southern Fujian, Chaoshan, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries has a great influence. The most important thing is not only that it has its own advantages, but more importantly, it is open and inclusive, able to adapt to local conditions and keep pace with the times.

4. Folk. As the most important part of root culture, surname culture is recorded in the form of folk genealogy, and biographies and exchanges are carried out in the form of folk. For example, the surname research association and its ancestor worship activities are mainly carried out by the people, and the folk characteristics are very obvious.

5. Harmony. The core of the root-pro culture is the unity of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and the pursuit of kindness, unity and harmony. It pays attention to name, surname comes from birth, pursues the overall harmonious development of family origin, and then extends to the prosperity of hometown, ancestral roots and even the whole country and nation.
