What is "the origin of Wuchuan culture"

Jianjiang, Meihuajiang, Sanyajiang and Sanshui meet on the small island in the middle of this river, and once had the reputation of "Little Foshan". The river reflects the busy figure of Wuchuan people: the culturally diverse Xiaojiang civilization.

In the past, Wuchuan culture, represented by Jiang Xindao and Lu Mei, did have its unique and dazzling side.

Lu Mei, with a traditional area of 10 square kilometers, had "Taiping and Dragon" in the Tang Dynasty. The grand occasion of "paving the three Weihe rivers and gathering them together" led to "riding a hundred miles across the river" and turned the shallow water in the riverbed into a embankment. Hengtang Road in Lu Mei now bears witness to this grand occasion at that time.

Under the ancient trees in Meilutou, the ancestral hall in the ancient town has been renovated. As strange as Foshan, the four famous towns, there are many ancestral temples in Lu Mei. The local folk proverb says, "Kang Wang came first, then the ancestral hall, then the ancestral hall, and then Lu Mei." Kang Wang, enshrined in Lu Mei Ancestral Temple, is a famous scholar Kang Bao who fought against Liao Dynasty in Northern Song Dynasty. Historical materials greatly emphasize this famous Central Plains player whose ancestral home is Luoyang, and Cai Dongfan's Romance of Song History also includes a review of Kang Baoren's death in a bloody battle. Compared with the surrounding counties, Kang Wang Temple, which can be seen everywhere in Wuchuan, is somewhat unique, and Kang Wang Temple is generally concentrated in the Central Plains. In Wuchuan, just like Kang Wang Temple, it originated from the Central Plains. Wang Mirui founded Maoshan Academy in Pu Village, Apollo in the early Jin Dynasty. This Wang Mirui is the protagonist of Liu Yuxi's poem "Wang Mirui went to Yizhou by boat, and the king of Jinling was angry for a while". He was tactful, avoided the disaster of Bopu and opened up local education.

If the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Central Plains has given Wuchuan people benevolence, wisdom and speculation, then the ancient Yue culture has brought Wuchuan people tenacity, harmony and unity. Shell Hill in Wu Shan, Changqi Town reveals that the ancestors of Wuchuan lived here as early as the Neolithic Age. Wuchuan Qin, Han belongs to South Vietnam and Southern Dynasties belongs to Gaoliang County. Gaoliang culture is a branch of ancient South Vietnamese culture. Today, there are still many clans in Wuchuan that originated from sorghum. In order to commemorate Mrs. She and the commander of the former cave in the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Kenta Darvish's temple is full of incense. Martial Wuchuan people turned this strong unity into "dancing" and "people's card dancing" in colorful activities. The scene of people beating thieves in the streets of Lu Mei and the allusion of "Lu Mei guys beating thieves" still make people feel scared at night today.

When the three rivers run parallel and face the sea, farming naturally becomes one of the traditional occupations of Lumei people. Fujian people moved south twice in history, which made the ancient marine culture with Quanzhou as the center inherit and develop rapidly in Wuchuan. Descendants of the royal family in the Southern Song Dynasty fled from Fujian to Guangdong for the first time, from Lei to Qiong, and 100,000 Fujian soldiers and civilians were scattered in western Guangdong. The second time was the Ming Dynasty sea ban, Fujian people who reclaimed the sea were forced to go ashore, and many people were stranded in Gaolei. Today, in Wuchuan, apart from the mysterious dialect "Hai Hua" in Zhao Ji Village, Tianhou Palace, a typical symbol of China's ancient marine culture, has been widely admired. Tianhou, also known as Mazu, was born in the first year of Stegosaurus in the Northern Song Dynasty and was regarded as a sea god by fishermen. The spirit of openness, development, compatibility and entrepreneurship, as well as business ability, are reflected in Wu Chuan.

The little-known Guangxin culture (called Nanjiang culture by Lingnan scholars) has gradually spread to the south. Gu Guangxin is located in Wuzhou, Zhaoqing and Yunfu, and is a sect of Guangdong and Guangxi. Both Dongling West Road in the Tang Dynasty and Liangguang Road in the Song Dynasty are bounded by Guangxin. Historical records and archaeological discoveries prove that Guangxin-Jianjiang is the main road for Chu people and Central Plains Han people to enter Xuwen, the estuary of Leizhou Peninsula. Outside the ancient port of Liao Zhi, a large merchant ship of Ming Dynasty lay quietly on the bottom of the sea. Liao IQ port, located at the mouth of Jianjiang River, was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were merchant ships from Guangzhou, Chaoshan, Fujian and even foreign countries trading here, and there was a saying that "gold Liao Zhi, silver Chikan". The Jianjiang River system connects Guangxin and western Guangdong, and mountain products is continuously transported to Rumei and Liao Zhi with the river. Guangxin culture, an important representative of Nanshan culture in Gu Hua, blended with rivers to Wuchuan. Mountain culture endows people with the spiritual characteristics of hard work, patience, diligence and enterprising.

The intersection of the four major cultures of Central Plains, Ancient Yue, Ocean and Guangxin has had a great influence on the spiritual characteristics of Wuchuan people: the ancient Yue culture is martial and brave, Wuchuan people joined the ranks in troubled times, the stars shone, and in the prosperous times, they ventured to live in seclusion and start a business; The Central Plains culture respected Confucianism and attached great importance to education, which made local culture and education flourish and promoted non-commissioned officers together. Marine culture has brought developed handicrafts and trade, which has become the basic skill for many Wuchuan people to get rich today. The hardships brought by Guangxin culture have made many Wuchuan people "bitter first and then sweet".

Some Lingnan scholars once described the unique and splendid Wuchuan culture as "Little Three Rivers Civilization" after seeing the multi-culture adapted to rich resources. In time, Wuchuan people dared to be the first in the world, risking their lives to take the lead in bringing sweet potatoes back to China to appease hunger, setting up China students in Chen Lanbin, the first embassy in the United States, and then Chen Hua. He was the first private entrepreneur in Chinese mainland to invite the outgoing president of a superpower to give a speech in China. Geographically speaking, in the domestic economic map, Wuchuan people have taken the lead in the feather and jellyfish industry, and one in every three people in the world can wear a pair of shoes. If the word is outstanding, the celebrities of past dynasties are bustling, and the giants of modern times are bustling.

The significance of cultural root-seeking lies not only in the continuation of the Lantern Festival on Lu Mei Street since Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. On the tenth anniversary of Wuchuan's withdrawal from the county and the establishment of the city, when the "Lantern Festival" of traditional folk culture once again held hands with the "One Meeting (Economic and Trade Fair)" related to development planning, Wuchuan people began to examine the weakness of traditional culture.
