It is urgent to introduce Chongqing's national culture in detail.

Chongqing has Han nationality, Miao nationality and Tujia nationality.

The customs of the Han nationality are basically the same as those of Sichuan. Sichuan Opera stunt: Fire-breathing Bayu culture is one of the most distinctive national cultures in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Bayu culture originated from Ba culture and refers to the regional culture formed by Ba people and Ba country in the historical development. Ba people have always lived between mountains and rivers. Influenced by nature and dangerous environment, Pakistanis are tough, tenacious and brave, so they are famous for their bravery and good fighting skills. Mountains and rivers have created passionate, tenacious and heroic Chongqing men, as well as tender and heroic Chongqing daughters. (The complete Ba culture area also includes Nanchong, Bazhong, Dazhou and Guang 'an in Sichuan Province, roughly bounded by Jialing River. Southern Shaanxi, western Hubei, northwestern Hunan and northern Guizhou are the radiation areas of Ba culture area)

Sichuan Opera is one of the main representatives of Bayu culture and a bright pearl in the treasure house of China opera. It has a long history and has preserved many excellent traditional plays, rich music and exquisite performing arts. It is a folk art loved by people in southwest provinces such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Guizhou. Kunqu Opera, Gaoqiang Opera, Huqin Opera (Pihuang), Tanxi Opera and Sichuan Folk Lantern Opera, which were originally introduced from other provinces, were performed in all parts of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty (1736- 1795). Due to these five vocal arts, the unique skills such as "changing face", "fire breathing" and "sleeves" in Sichuan Opera are unique, and the stylized movements of freehand brushwork imply endless wonderful atmosphere. Sichuan opera is deeply loved by the world and spread all over the world. The famous Sichuan opera The Legend of the White Snake Jinshan Temple is widely circulated at home and abroad.

On the Qianlichuan River from Chongqing to Wushan, the waterways are narrow and curved, there are many reefs and rocks, and there are countless dangerous beaches. In the old society, ships sailing on the river were mostly pushed or pulled by manpower, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people working collectively on the river, and only the chant was used for unified command. Therefore, on the rolling Chuanjiang River, there are many water ballads praising the boatman's life-Chuanjiang Haozi. Since ancient times, the people of Bayu and Chongqing have loved to see the "dragon gate array" (meaning chatting and telling stories). Folk oral literature has a broad mass base, and it is still a major feature of Chongqing folk literature to like to "put on a dragon gate array".

Chongqing has always been a waterway transportation hub in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with numerous wharves along the river and frequent exchanges between merchant ships and passengers. The urban cultures of central Sichuan, southwest Sichuan and even the whole Yangtze River basin blend here, and the unique market culture of Chongqing forms the dock culture. The dock culture in Chongqing mainly includes dialect art and teahouse culture. Paoge culture refers to the part in which the loyalty of rivers and lakes within secret folk societies such as Brothers' Club, Heaven and Earth Club and Paoge Club influences urban culture. Now in the main city, only ciqikou ancient town in Shapingba District can feel the ancient culture a little. The unique Bayu culture has created a profound cultural heritage in this land of Chongqing. Cultural talents are constantly emerging, cultural products are colorful, and culture and art are unprecedentedly prosperous.

Unique architecture-Diaojiaolou;

Diaojiaolou: Chongqing is built on the mountain and surrounded by two rivers. Because of the terrain, all buildings need to be built along the hillside in turn. So on the hillside along the river in Chongqing, there are square wooden buildings supported by several Chinese fir poles everywhere, which is the diaojiao building. Diaojiaolou, as a unique traditional residential form in Chongqing, can be traced back to before the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, due to the rapid economic development in recent years, this architectural form has disappeared in Chongqing, leaving only ciqikou ancient town. The newly-built Hongyadong Diaojiaolou Folk Complex aims to restore traditional architecture.
