On the Influence of Central Plains Culture on Jiangxi Culture

Jiangxi province, referred to as Jiangxi. Because the largest river in Jiangxi is called Ganjiang, it is called Ganjiang for short. Jiangxi, as a clear administrative regional system, began in the early years of Emperor Gaozu.

In 202 BC, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, sent Guan Ying, who won the title, to lead the troops to Nanchang to build Nanchang City, commonly known as Guan Ying City. Taking the meaning of "prosperity in southern Xinjiang" and "prosperity in southern China", it was named "Nanchang", which was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yu County and Hongzhou County in the early Sui Dynasty.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road and Hongzhou, and it was a famous city in the southeast, so it was also called "Hongdu". ?

In ancient Jiangxi, the fine tradition of reading became a common practice.

According to legend, Tan Taiming, a disciple of Confucius, first spread the Central Plains culture in Jiangxi. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China selected talents through the imperial examination system. By the Qing Dynasty, there were 98,689 national Jinshi, and Jiangxi Jinshi 10506, accounting for 10.7%. There are 724 national champions and 4 1 person in Jiangxi, accounting for 5.6%. There are six other Wushu champions in Jiangxi.

Jiangxi is also the birthplace of Buddhism and Taoism, forming a large religious faction. Taoism is a native religion in China. Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi is the birthplace of orthodox Taoism, which was founded by Zhang Daoling in Han Dynasty and his great-grandson Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Daoling was honored by Zhang Sheng as "the teacher of teaching and learning, the teacher of heaven", so he was also called "Shi Tian Daoism" or "Zhengyi", and was the originator of Taoism in China.

After the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the orthodox school confronted the Quanzhen school and became a unique school. Tolin Temple in Lushan Mountain is the birthplace of Pure Land Sect, one of the top ten schools of Buddhism in China. Its founder was a monk in Hui Yuan in the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Tianshifu in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi Province and Tolin Temple in Lushan Mountain have always been national key temples. In recent years, many Buddhists from other places, Japan and South Korea have come to worship.

In addition, Jiangxi agriculture has been dominated by rice cultivation since ancient times. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the national economic center of gravity moved south, Jiangxi's land was further developed, and its economy flourished, making it an important grain production base in the country.

Tea planting and processing have also made great progress, ranking first in the country in quantity and quality. At the same time, pottery, shipbuilding and silver-copper smelting also occupy a leading position in the country. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiangxi became the center of China's paper industry and cloth-based textile industry. With the development of agriculture and handicrafts, a number of industrial and commercial towns with their own characteristics have been formed.

Extended data:

Compared with the Yellow River valley, Jiangxi aborigines have been in primitive clan society for a long time, and the pace of entering the civilized era is relatively slow.

It was not until the Shang and Zhou Dynasties that the culture of the Central Plains was deeply integrated with the local culture of Jiangxi, represented by the Wucheng site of Zhangshu, the Shang Tomb of Xing 'an Oceania and the Tongling site of Ruichang.

Jiangxi culture in this period has been deeply branded with the Central Plains culture, which also shows that Jiangxi is no longer a place far away from the "wild" and "foreign" of the Central Plains dynasty.

Wucheng Cultural Site, located in wucheng town, Zhangshu City, covers an area of 665,438+0,000 square meters, dating back 3,000 years. There are residential areas, sacrificial areas, pottery making areas and copper casting areas in the city, and there are burial areas outside the city. The earthen city wall, with a height of 3-15m and a length of more than 2,800 meters, still exists, which is the largest Shang and Zhou cultural site found in the south of China.
