Seek a summary of the history and culture of Xiguan, urgent ！！！！ Write a paragraph is fine, but not too little, write the beginning and the end is fine, anyway, do not write too little on the line.

The most brilliant, the most amazing Xiguan should be in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

That

the era of Guangzhou all economic factors are concentrated in the

west of Guangzhou, where there are in and out of the dock, there are a variety of cargo stations and warehouses

Ku, there is a national business institutions and foreign banks, the most famous

buyers base is here. What is even more fascinating is the "Shamian" area to the south of Xiguang, which is a British concession

. The reason why Xiguang was able to emerge from Guangzhou's urban development was due to the economic invasion of the West and its

geographic location. There was no foreign policy during the imperial period, and the Qianlong

emperor replied to Britain that China was a vast country with a lot of things to offer, so there was no need for Britain to have anything to offer, which

was a national policy to block communication with the West. But neither the Qing's prohibition of the sea nor the Qing's lockout could prevent the coastal people from making contact with the outside world. Foreign traders made use of private channels to conduct all kinds of illegal trade, and Xiguan was an important

port of entry. The senior officials of the Qing Dynasty did not want to do business with foreigners

intentionally, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they favored Western things, and then the Qing

government was forced by the form, with the intention of doing business with the foreigners, but

not allowed to do so in the city. So the foreigners in the White Goose Pavilion of the

banks built merchant houses, wharves, our ancestors called stage

pavilion, those who had the courage to do business with the foreigners in order to

convenient and foreigners to deal with, also in the stage around the pavilion of the merchants

line, which is later thirteen lines. However, Guangzhou

as the only port of entry to China, it also attracted exported goods and business talents from all over the country, thus promoting the development of Guangzhou

and creating the prosperity of Xiguan. A hundred years later today

day, we then reform and open up, looking back at the history we know that Xiguan

one hundred years ago has been Guangzhou's economic development zone, with the

With the prosperity of Guangzhou's economy and trade, the Xiguan from a piece of the ancient city of the desert

suburbs into the economic development of Guangzhou's leader. It can be said that Xiguan is the birthplace of modern capitalism in

China. Modern history often writes

the gateway to the late Qing Dynasty in darkness, and very few people say that it had

present-day civilization. Xiguan from the rise to the decline of less than a hundred

years, after the Opium War, the imperial court ceded Hong Kong

and allowed the five ports with the trade, Hong Kong is angry since China's only

port, but because of its proximity to Hong Kong and Macao, the Chinese merchants from

Xiguan the first to go to the international community, and some rich merchants even went to the Hong Kong and Macao colonies

colonial land to cooperate with the foreigners. Don't look at today's Hong Kong has a high degree of

prosperity and modernization, but some of its famous foreign firms originated

in Xiguan. In the Republic of China, Guangzhou's industry and commerce still

took Xiguan as its main position. However, after the Republic of China, the military

government changed very frequently. The merchants of Xiguan

could no longer tolerate the fraud of the government

so they contacted the British in Sha Mian, and with the support of the British

the merchants of Xiguan learned to set up an armed organization in Hong Kong

historically known as the Chamber of Commerce. With the armed organization, the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce did not buy the military government's account, and sometimes the Chamber of Commerce was even stronger than the military

government army, and even went against Sun Yat-sen. However, Dr. Sun was the forerunner of the democratic revolution, and his revolution was supported by the majority of the people in the East, and he quickly put down the rebellion of the merchant groups by combining the forces of all sides. By the end of the eight-year war, Guangzhou's economy was on the verge of collapse. But it was the public-private partnership of the 1950s that uprooted Xiguan. Before the public-private partnership was introduced, the rich and powerful capitalists went to Hong Kong or abroad to set up their own businesses, leaving behind in Guangzhou

mostly real estate. Later, industry and commerce is not only fully state-owned, and

and the implementation of state-run, and from then on into the era of planned economy, Xiguan

is no longer the economic center of gravity of Guangzhou. Second, Xiguan culture

Some people say that the traditional Chinese culture, Xiguan culture can be said

is unorthodox, just like today some coastal development city

like, everywhere showing false decoration, artifice and flaunting. I don't agree with this

saying. What I agree with is that,

as some old Guangzhou people say, the culture of Xiguan once represented the cultural trend of Guangzhou

state, although it has now declined.

But

over, after filtering and sifting, we can also find out a lot of

cultural and light things. These things have

led Guangzhou through a lot of history.

2.1 Xiguan Daiya The mention of Xiguan Daiya reminds people of the luxury of Xiguan, and inspires the pride of Guangzhou people. Nowadays, when you walk into the area of Baobao

Hua Road, Duo Bao Road and Fengyuan Road, you will see a

one after another of the granite feet, water-worn bricks of the tall houses,

this is the famous Xiguan Daiya. These big houses are

when the rich businessmen built, Nanhai County

recorded "Guangxu in the middle, the rich and gentry successively purchased

land to build houses, decades, the A Di Yunlian, fish scales lined up

Lingtang Lotus root islets, all as a residence. The land is connected, just across a

water, the increasing number of teeth, can be said to be full of already. "Why the Guangzhou

merchants are to Xiguan build houses? This is a special historical

reason. China's feudal society, the businessman to get rich people

not respected, the scholar, farmer, industrialist, businessman's status is the lowest,

even if business has made a fortune, but rich but not noble. Inside the city, there was a strict hierarchy, and if you did not have an official position or a title, you could only build ordinary houses in the city, not luxurious mansions

. The earliest pioneers were those famous buyers

office, they have opened the new Baohua Street in the Tongzhi years,

that is, today's Baohua Road, and then those who have made a fortune in the foreign affairs

of the people have bought land to build gardens and houses. However, as time

progressed, the Xiguan houses soon fell out of fashion. Nowadays, most of the Xiguan houses along Baohua Street are still standing, but almost all of them

have become "seventy-two tenants". 2.2 Cantonese Opera Cantonese Opera is a Han Chinese

local opera, originally known as Dai Opera or Guangdong Opera, originating from Nan

Opera, which appeared in Guangdong and Guangxi from 1522 to 1566 (during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty). It is an art of performance that combines decorating, reciting and reading

playing, music scoring by musicians, stage costumes, and abstract forms and so on. Each line of Cantonese opera has its own unique costume. Initially, the language of performance was Chinese, also

known as the official language of the opera house. Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, intellectuals changed the language of the performances to Cantonese in order to promote the revolution, making it easier for Cantonese speakers to understand. Today, Cantonese opera is

already a major opera in Guangdong and

nationally, on the national list of intangible cultural heritage and the list of intangible cultural heritage of mankind.

It can be said that it was the Xiguan people's contribution to Cantonese opera that allowed it to continue and expand its influence

.

After the Republic of China

, most of the Xiguan people became ticket holders of Cantonese opera, and most of them

had a cultural education, so Xiguan also produced a lot of Cantonese music

music composers and authors of Cantonese opera scripts. In the 1920s and 1930s, the most famous Cantonese opera composer in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, "Nanhai Ten

Sanlang", who came from a wealthy family in Xiguan, followed his elders

generation into the art scene when he was young, and developed

deep attainments in Cantonese opera without any training, but when it came to his contribution to Cantonese opera, he could be

referred to as "the most famous Cantonese opera composer in the world". But when it comes to his contribution to Cantonese opera, it is a pity that very few people in Guangzhou have mentioned him. 2.3 Leadership of the Chaozhou dialect Cantonese used to be called Canton dialect, commonly known as "Baihua", and now it is called Guangzhou

Cantonese dialect. I won't go into the formation of the Guangzhou dialect, but the recent development of the Guangzhou dialect did involve Xiguan. The "vernacular" of Guangdong is widely distributed, but the accent is different in each village and each place. Guangzhou, as the earliest provincial city to be brought into line with the modern era, has a beautiful vernacular language that serves to unify the different accents of the province,

and the Xiguan

dialect was once considered to be the aristocratic accent of the Guangzhou dialect.

The accent and vocabulary of Xiguan influenced the development of Guangzhou's language, and Xiguan was later adopted as the accent for Cantonese opera. This is similar to the authentic "Beijing dialect" today, where new vocabulary often influences the language of the city of Beijing.

The language of the city of Beijing is also influenced by the Cantonese dialect.
