High school history winter vacation homework

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, King of Yue, said, "Water travels on mountains, boats are cars, and horses are horses." The origin of Shaoxing ships should be the last transgression in the late Pleistocene before the Spring and Autumn Period, which forced the Yue people who grew up in Ningshaoping Plain to change their labor and life customs, abandon the farming habits in the plain and learn to adapt to the water environment. The snake totem culture is an important witness of the Yue people's "integration of man and water". Wood pulp engraved with patterns was found in the excavation of the fourth cultural layer of Hemudu site in Yuyao, which is enough to explain the history of the ship as a means of transportation in Shaoxing. But in the historical records so far, the word Wupengchuan first appeared in the Song Dynasty. When Lu You, a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, lived in seclusion in his hometown of Shaoxing, he once described the idyllic leisure life of the local people in a poem: "Eight feet alone, three canopies, occupying the misty rain in Pingzhou." This is the earliest written description of Wu Peng boat, which shows that Wu Peng boat has become an indispensable means of transportation in Shaoxing people's production and life in the Southern Song Dynasty. The appearance of Wu Peng's boat coincides with the disappearance of Jianhu Lake, which is inseparable from the fact that Shaoxing's dense river and lake network hindered the development of land transportation after the disappearance of Jianhu Lake. In Shaoxing, Wupengchuan, as a dual-purpose means of transportation for passengers and goods, is more convenient than land transportation, and appears in a large number of activities such as culture, tourism and customs. Lu Xun's description of Shaoxing people sitting on a wupeng boat watching social dramas is a good example.

On the one hand, Wu Peng boat reflects the water environment of Shaoxing, and at the same time, it is also the production of Shaoxing people.

The crystallization of long-term contact with water, the shape, material, modeling, color, decoration and power setting of Wu Peng ship all reflect the geographical environment of Shaoxing water town and the special production and living customs of Shaoxing people. In ancient times, there were two kinds of boats shuttling between urban and rural areas in Shaoxing. One is a white-covered ship, which is used as a sailboat and belongs to the current cargo ship. The other is Wu Peng, a passenger ship carrying passengers and passengers. Wu Peng boat can be divided into Siming tile, Sanming tile and paddle boat according to its size. The awning of the awning boat is semicircular, woven with bamboo pieces, and some bamboo poles are sandwiched between the bamboo pieces to prevent rainwater from infiltrating in rainy days. The bamboo pieces are coated with a layer of black oil, which is beneficial for rainwater to fall. The two fixed eaves are called "fixed eaves", and there is also a sliding light-transmitting eaves inlaid with a thin oyster shell one inch square. In rainy days, cover it with bare tiles to keep out the rain and wind, and in sunny days, remove it to ventilate and bask in the sun. Therefore, the locals call this dome "Mingwa". Sanming tile is a tile with two middle cabins and one rear cabin. In Shaoxing, there is a big covered boat bigger than Siming tile. The hull is carved with patterns and designs, and the bow is carved with animals such as tiger heads. Locals call it "beneficial bird", its image is very strange, and it is scary to laugh. This is closely related to the water environment in which Guyue people lived for a long time. At the peak of transgression, most of the land in the north of ancient Vietnam became a piece of Wang Yang. When Vietnamese people are fishing at sea, they often encounter big storms and capsize. It has always been the sacred wish of the Vietnamese nation to subdue the sea dragons that make waves and ensure that fishing boats and ships are calm at sea. This beneficial bird lives in the depths of the sea, and loves dragons. When dragons see it, they avoid it, so boatmen draw it on the bow, so that dragons can't make trouble on the water to ensure the safety of navigation, which has been used by future generations ever since.

In ancient times, many wealthy bureaucrats often took a covered boat (replaced by a luxury motor yacht) to visit, sweep graves, greet relatives and go to the theatre; Some literati also drank wine and wrote poems on Wu Peng's boat, leaving many Mo Bao behind. The "literati wine boat" written by Mr. Lu Xun, commonly known as "shuttle flying", is Sanming tile. Traveling by Wu Peng boat is a major feature of Shaoxing tourism now. At present, most of the awning boats that shuttle between Shaoxing's urban and rural scenic spots row by foot, and the boat can be operated by one person, which is flexible and convenient, and is conducive to receiving passengers and carrying people; Boating on foot in Shaoxing is the most fashionable way to travel in Shaoxing at present. A boat is like a boat on a canal, and the bottom of the boat is often padded with straw mats. After boarding the boat, the tourists sat on the floor, with their heads only twenty or thirty centimeters away from the canopy, and a boatman sat at the stern. They are skilled and complacent. The power of Wu Peng's boat comes from the feet of the ferryman. When the ferryman paddles hard with his feet, the boat will move forward steadily. The meaning of "paddling" is wonderful. The wooden paddle that paddles under the ferryman's arm is the rudder.

It can be used to control the direction of the ship. When the weather is warm, tourists can put their hands out of the boat and put them on the left and right sides of the boat. Sometimes they can pat the water gently, just like ducks paddling in the water. The awning boat full of tourists has a deep draft, and the sight of tourists is often similar to the water outside the boat. Traveling in this boat is like sitting on calm water. When the boat passes through the city, the tall buildings and the quaint "eight-character" bridge pass overhead, just like playing the slow motion of the scenery of Jiangnan water town. Whenever the cruise ship "strolls" in the country waterway, the ridges on both sides of the strait are close at hand and near the nose, and the fragrance of soil and field crops can be smelled from time to time, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Shaoxing Wupeng Ship has become famous at home and abroad. Shaoxing Municipal Government put forward the slogan of building a tourist city, which provided a better opportunity for Wu Peng cruise ships to reflect their tourism value. In Shaoxing, Wu Peng boat is not only a special means of transportation, but also an invaluable tourism industry. Shaoxing people make full use of the natural water environment, excavate the cultural connotation hidden in Wu Peng's boat, and fully display Shaoxing's unique landscape, historical background, customs and local characteristics. Bosun job fair attracted many students from all over the country. Wupengchuan is the tourism industry of Shaoxing people and the precious wealth of all mankind.
