Does Wuxi belong to Jiangnan?

Of course. We often say Wuxi is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River. Indeed, Wuxi people like to associate their city with Jiangnan: the newspaper with the largest circulation in Wuxi is called Jiangnan Evening News, the best university in Wuxi is called Jiangnan University, and so on. From this perspective, Wuxi obviously belongs to the south of the Yangtze River.

In fact, in the extensive and profound Chinese, "Jiangnan" has always had many different connotations, and "Jiangnan" has been a constantly changing and flexible regional concept since ancient times. "Jiangnan" in a broad sense refers to the south of the Yangtze River, and in the concept of human geography, it refers to the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In terms of literary images, the meaning of "Jiangnan" is different in different historical periods. The concept of "Jiangnan" first appeared in the pre-Qin period. At that time, Jiangnan belonged to the land of Baiyue and was called "wuyue" by the Central Plains. At the end of 1 1 BC, the son of Zhou, Taibo, made Wang take his third brother's calendar with him and came to Wuxi with his second brother, where he settled in Mei Li (now Mei Village in Wuxi) and established a kingdom. Taber and Zhong Yong "cut off their tattoos", accepted local customs, actively integrated into the local society, and brought advanced farming techniques from the Central Plains here. In this way, Wuxi, the birthplace of Wu culture, is naturally one of the birthplaces of Jiangnan civilization.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Jiangnan generally referred to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River where wuyue and other vassal states were located, namely, Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, southeastern Anhui and northeastern Jiangxi. After the Song Dynasty, especially after the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangnan gradually concentrated in Zhejiang Road, which is the southern part of Jiangsu and Zhejiang today. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been especially referred to Susongchang and Hangjiahu around Taihu Lake Basin. So no matter in which historical period, Wuxi has always been within the scope of Jiangnan.

If you have the opportunity to come to Wuxi, you will definitely feel the profound cultural heritage and vigorous vitality of this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River. When you plan a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, if you only go to Suzhou and Hangzhou because of the phrase "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", you will lose money by passing through Wuxi. As for the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in Wuxi, I searched a lot of information on the Internet, and Wukong also answered many questions in his answer. You can have a look at it when you are free.

Suzhou, Xichang and Hangjiahu, the core areas in the south of the Yangtze River, don't send such brain-dead questions, just like asking whether new york belongs to the United States.

This question seems to doubt that Wuxi is not Jiangnan. To be sure, Wuxi values Jiangnan more than any other Jiangnan city. In the late 1940s, Wuxi founded a private Jiangnan University. In 1990s, Wuxi founded Jiangnan Evening News, a local newspaper with the largest circulation. I am the founder of Jiangnan Voice Radio. There is also a magazine called Jiangnan Forum and a school called Jiangnan Middle School in Wuxi. The inland river shipping in Wuxi has Jiangnan Shipping Company, and the dock is called Jiangnan Shipping Terminal. The famous hotel in old Wuxi is called Jiangnan Hotel. 2 1 century, Wuxi Institute of Light Industry, Jiangnan College and Wuxi Institute of Education merged into 2 1 1 Jiangnan University directly under the Ministry of Education. In addition, Huishan, the first peak in Jiangnan inscribed by the Qing emperor, further strengthened the status of Jiangnan = Wuxi and Wuxi = Jiangnan.

Historically, Wuxi is only a county under the jurisdiction of Changzhou in the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. However, with the rise of Wuxi in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it became a heavyweight city in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is generally believed that the earliest clear concept of Jiangnan is Jiangnan Road, and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty appointed Yang Guang as the governor of Jiangnan Road and stationed in Yangzhou.

In the early years of Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan area was defined again, and jiangnan province included Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai. The Qing court divided it into Anhui and Jiangsu provinces from north to south (Shanghai belonged to Jiangsu at that time).

Now people have a unified understanding. The real Jiangnan area is probably eight states and one state in Ming and Qing Dynasties: Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, jiangning house, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Taicang. That is, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaxing and their counties and cities. Shaoxing is usually considered as a city in the south of the Yangtze River.

Su Xichang, collectively known as Su Xichang, are orthodox Jiangnan. Not only geographically, but also culturally.

Jiangnan is a large geographical category, which literally means the area south of the Yangtze River. But the real Jiangnan, especially the Jiangnan water town, is more of a cultural significance.

In cultural geography, the real Jiangnan is the area south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. That is, today's Shanghai, southern Jiangsu, southeastern Anhui, northern Zhejiang and northeastern Jiangxi are some areas south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Wuxi is not so strong in people's minds because the name Wuxi comes from Wuxi County after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Unlike Suzhou, Changzhou and Hangzhou, it has always been the image of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wuxi actually has a long history, and it was an important town in the Spring and Autumn Period. But Wuxi in the modern sense has a short history, so it is not the Jiangnan in people's minds.

But in any case, Wuxi is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta and inherits Wu culture, so Wuxi is absolutely south of the Yangtze River.

You ask this question because you drink too much cyanobacteria water.

Don't ask terrible questions!

Whether Wuxi is in the south of the Yangtze River or not, it is all on a piece of land in China.

No, no, no, Wuxi belongs to Mobei

I think Wuxi belongs to Jiangnan and is the core area of Jiangnan.

Wuxi is one of the cradles of Jiangnan civilization, and its recorded history can be traced back to the last years of Shang Dynasty.

Wuxi, referred to as "tin" for short, also has Xishan District. There is no tin mine at all. This place name should still come from ancient Vietnamese and is considered to be related to tin mines. This is a misinformation about looking forward to life. Wuxi is a national historical and cultural city, and it has been a land of plenty since ancient times, yes. Wuxi is known as cloth wharf, money wharf, kiln wharf, silk capital and rice market. Wuxi is the cradle of national industry and township industry in China. The Rong family started a business in Wuxi, grinding flour with machines and opening a flour mill.

Wuxi is in the northwest of Suzhou, to the north of Taihu Lake. The round head house in Wuxi is very famous, especially the scenery in spring is fascinating and unforgettable. No wonder workers' sanatorium 1952 was built on Dushan Island in the scenic spot shortly after the founding of New China.

In addition, Lingshan Giant Buddha is built between the mountains and rivers of Mashan National Scenic Area in Binhu District, Wuxi. 1997165438+1October 15 completed the opening. The location of the Giant Buddha is Xiaoling Mountain named after Tang Xuanzang, hence the name "Lingshan Giant Buddha".

The highest peak in Wuxi city is Sanmao Peak in Huishan, with an altitude of 328.98 meters, which is very suitable for fitness and mountaineering. The name "San Mao Feng" comes from "San Mao Zhen Jun". "San Mao Zhen Jun", whose ancestral home is Nanguan, Xianyang, Shaanxi, is the three brothers Mao Ying, Mao Gu and Mao Zhong who became immortals of Han Buddhism.

There are small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, with Taihu Lake as the shore. The Jiangnan Evening News certainly belongs to the south of the Yangtze River.
