Classification: Region >> Guangdong >; & gt Shaoguan City

Analysis:

Shaoguan in the north of Guangdong, Nanling in the north, and bordering Hunan and Jiangxi; South to the Pearl River Delta, the river leads to the South China Sea. Its outstanding geographical position makes it not only the channel and first stop for the ancient Central Plains civilization to spread and radiate to Lingnan, but also the channel and base for the South Guangdong Ocean and the Pearl River economy and culture to go north to the Central Plains. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the social and economic development of northern Guangdong was in the leading position in Lingnan for a long time.

As early as 1.29 million years ago, there were early homo sapiens "Maba people" living and multiplying in Shiziyan, Maba Town, Qujiang County. Maba people not only have many similar facial features with today's yellow people, but also have close kinship with Beijingers who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago and thousands of kilometers away. About 4,500 years ago, the ancestors of Lingnan, who also lived near Lion Mountain in Maba, had created the most splendid Neolithic culture in Lingnan-Shi Xia culture, which became one of the birthplaces of Lingnan and even the whole Chinese culture.

Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan and opened up the road to build a customs. The economy and culture of the Central Plains spread and radiated to Lingnan more widely, and Shaoguan, as the first stop in Lingnan, benefited the most. After Zhang Jiuling, a famous figure in the early Tang Dynasty, opened the Meiguan Ancient Road, Central Plains culture went south on a large scale. The clans in the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River migrated to Lingnan through Meiguan, first settled in Nanxiong Zhuji Lane, and then moved to the Pearl River Delta and even overseas, which changed the economic and cultural status of Lingnan as a whole. "Only talents from the south of Wuling come out, goods pass, and the voice of the Central Plains is close." Shaoguan, which was ahead of the Central Plains culture, became the most developed area of Lingnan culture in the Middle Ages. Huineng, one of the three great philosophers in ancient China, and Zhang Jiuling, the most accomplished cultural figure in ancient Lingnan, were born here.

At the same time, the marine economy and culture in Lingnan area also circulated and spread to the Central Plains through Shaoguan. A large number of foreigners and goods that arrived in Guangzhou from the Maritime Silk Road all went north to the Central Plains via the Meiguan Ancient Road. Therefore, Huang, a famous cultural scholar, described the northern Guangdong cultural belt as "the most prosperous ancient cultural overpass in the Pan-Pearl River Delta region": Central Plains culture and Lingnan local culture blend here; Yellow River culture, Yangtze River culture, Pearl River culture and marine culture meet here; The Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road meet here, thus creating a pluralistic, intersecting, turning and developing ancient northern Guangdong culture.

Outstanding geographical and historical position and brilliant cultural achievements have left Shaoguan with very rich and unique historical and cultural resources. Maba people, Shi Xia cultural relics, Nanhua Temple and Six Ancestors relics, Meiguan Ancient Road, Zhuji Lane and Zhang Jiuling relics all have extremely rich connotations and cultural radiation, and they have core values and status in Lingnan and even the whole Pan-Pearl River Delta cultural circle. Therefore, under the background of Pan-Pearl River Delta regional economic cooperation, the status and value of Shaoguan cultural relics circle characterized by pluralism, exchange and communication are particularly important. And its location advantage in the center of Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi and the hinterland of Pan-Pearl River Delta is more obvious.
