What is the traditional culture of Wuhu?

Wuhu traditional culture in a broad sense (especially Wuhu local culture before 1804) is the sum of material wealth and spiritual wealth created by Wuhu people in the process of social and historical development.

To sum up, it is mainly composed of scientific and technological civilization, industrial and commercial civilization, religious civilization and civil society civilization.

As Wuhu has played an important role in the world for many years, its traditional culture has distinct regional characteristics.

That is openness, tolerance, innovation and emphasis on business.

The structure and characteristics of Wuhu traditional culture determine that Wuhu culture is a kind of citizen culture with close economic ties, strong interaction and high quality, which is mainly reflected in:

First, scientific and technological civilization is the cultural heritage of scientific and technological innovation in Wuhu today.

Historically, Wuhu people's scientific and technological innovation achievements have occupied the leading position in China and even the world's scientific and technological history in more than 30 aspects.

Advanced Metallurgical Casting In metallurgical casting, the ancient copper smelting in Dagongshan lasted for thousands of years from Qin Zhou to Song Dynasty, and Fiona Fang Baili was the first one in the history of China to directly use coal as fuel for smelting.

Its smelting method and copper mining method had a great influence on China Bronze Age.

Its site has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

The scene of copper smelting in Wuhu inspired Li Bai's creative enthusiasm and produced the first worker image in the history of China literature-Kuailang.

It contains great tourism development value.

Wuhu is an area that entered the Iron Age earlier. The legend of Mo Xie's beautiful sword casting has left many tourist attractions to be developed for this holy mountain.

With the development of iron and steel industry in Ming and Qing Dynasties, China appeared the reputation of "Iron to Wuhu".

WISCO process represents the highest technical level of steelmaking in China before western steelmaking technology was introduced to China, and steel products such as Wuhu "Three Knives" evolved.

Wuhu's "three knives" have a great influence on the Yangtze River Delta.

Especially scissors and Zhao scissors are two of the three major scissors brands in China, both of which originated from Wuhu.

Wuhu Iron Painting is a must in China, which is well known.

Up to now, it still casts nearly 100 million yuan of gdp every year.

Production, processing, installation, sales and other fields have also accommodated more than 5,000 people for employment.

The logical result of WISCO's process is a new pipe casting plant, which has the largest pipe casting capacity in Asia today.

Advantages of Zhongjiang Ancient Road The Zhongjiang Ancient Road built by Wuhu people in history is an extremely important water conservancy and transportation project in ancient China. It not only connects the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake, but also makes the Yangtze River enter the sea through the Chang Chang of Taihu Lake. It also connects the Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River, Pearl River and other major rivers and seas in China through numerous water systems, thus realizing the goal of turning floods into water conservancy and accelerating the development of Chinese civilization.

There are many artificial canals on this ancient road, which is the earliest artificial canal in the world (such as Sugagawa) and has contributed to human civilization.

The Wu Shen Canal, now built on this old road, has a total investment of 65.438+0.6 billion RMB, and the sailing distance from Wuhu to Shanghai is 654.38+0.30 km shorter than that by taking the Yangtze River. It has great economic and social benefits, and will certainly play a great role in promoting the development of coastal economy.

Perfect polder farming method In Song Dynasty, Wuhu people invented and perfected polder fields under the guidance of Shen Kuo, which was in the leading position in agricultural history-"paddy field farming method".

Since then, Wuhu people took the initiative to introduce Zhancheng Rice, the most advanced Vietnamese rice variety in the world at that time, which greatly improved the quality and yield of rice, laid the foundation for Wuhu to become the first of the four rice markets in the Qing Dynasty, and also laid the foundation for Academician Yuan Longping to successfully realize "planting three crops and producing four crops" in Wuhu today.

It is worth pointing out that Wanchunwei is not only a model of advanced rice farming methods, but also a model of rural villages and planning.

The waterway and land transportation in Wanchunwei are perfect, and the village is built by water, which is scientific and reasonable, and fully embodies the concept of advocating nature and environmentalism that people and water depend on each other, people and water are suitable, and man and nature are integrated.

In the history of developed shipbuilding, Wuhu's shipbuilding industry is extremely developed.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, China people invented 16 new military tactics, two of which were invented by Wuhu people, and they were all related to the Jade Emperor Ship.

The Jade Emperor was the largest warship in China at that time.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan's five-story ship fought on the Yangtze River as a warship.

During the Yongzheng period, a large number of "pulp-reporting ships" produced in Wuhu docked at Beixinguan, Hangzhou, which was the most advanced among 72 types of inland rivers in China at that time.

The developed shipbuilding industry has laid an important foundation for Wuhu to become one of the important naval vessel production bases after the founding of New China.

Wuhu shipbuilding industry is relatively developed now, with an annual gdp of about 2 billion, about 20,000 employees and numerous shipbuilding industrial parks.

Wuhu, a world-famous medical brand, became an important medical center in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Wuhu Pharmaceutical, known as half of the "four and a half pharmacies" in China, has great influence at home and abroad.

At that time, foreign envoys bought Chinese patent medicines around Wuhu and brought them back to China before returning to China.

Today, Wuhu pharmaceutical industry is also an industrial army that cannot be ignored in China.

Among them, China, the external medicine of Sany Pharmaceutical Factory, has the highest production capacity, and Qisheng Capsule, a brand medicine of Rolling Chunyao Factory, sold intangible assets worth 500 million yuan during the restructuring.

In 20 10, Wuhu's pharmaceutical output value reached 2.8 billion, with 6 enterprises/kloc-0, 468 operating enterprises and 20,000 employees.

Traditional industries have laid the foundation for the further development of biopharmaceutical industry.

Song, a great scientist in Ming Dynasty who supported the textile industry in the Yangtze River Delta, said in his scientific masterpiece Tiangong Wu Kai that "weaving is better than Songjiang and printing and dyeing is better than Wuhu". Wuhu, as a pulp and dyeing center, has a history of more than 300 years, which shows that Wuhu's chemical industry is developed, and its technology has derived from Suzhou's "kicking cloth" and Wuxi and Nantong's "blue printed cloth" technology.

Greatly promoted the development of textile industry in the Yangtze River Delta.

Wuhu sizing and dyeing technology plays an important role in the development history of traditional textile industry in China. A textile history of China should be said to be half that of Wuhu.

In recent years, experts from Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese University of Science and Technology, after repeated exploration and continuous research on Fanchang Kechong Kiln, agreed that Wuhu Fanchang Kiln was the first place where binary formula was used on a large scale for human porcelain making, which was a revolutionary innovation in porcelain making and contributed to the discovery and application of human material civilization and new materials. Its site has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in the State Council.

It has rich tourism development value.

Fanchang Kiln also established Wuhu's unshakable position as an important fulcrum of the Maritime Silk Road in history.

In recent years, German sinologists have found a large number of sunken ships of Fanchang kiln porcelain in Malaysian waters, and even found fragments of Fanchang kiln porcelain in Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

Second, industrial and commercial civilization is the internal driving force for Wuhu to take the lead in realizing modernization.

Wuhu is one of the earliest and most successful cities operated by Huizhou merchants.

Industry and commerce are extremely developed in history. It used to be one of the five central cities in China, such as pulping, printing and dyeing, steelmaking, rice, pharmacy and shipbuilding. Its industrial and commercial status was on a par with Beijing, Hankou, Foshan and Suzhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, ahead of Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and it was known as one of the "four cities in the world".

Industrial and commercial civilization occupies a prominent position in the industrial and commercial history of China and even the world.

1, Wuhu has accumulated hundreds of time-honored industrial and commercial brands such as Zhang Hengchun, Tongqinglou and Geng Fuxing.

Historically, Wuhu people have a strong sense of trademarks. Only in Wuhu in Qing Dynasty, there were "Ge Yongtai" and other 18 steel inspection-free trademarks.

2. Mo Yu, a native of Wuhu, established the first guild hall in China in Shangsan Hutong during Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, which was the first such guild hall in China.

Guild hall is a commercial system, a place to communicate with the countryside and standardize rules and regulations, and has developed into a Chinatown all over the world.

In the early days of liberation, there were still 2 1 guild halls in Wuhu, including Chaoshan, Shandong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, which made great contributions to world industrial and commercial civilization. Rebuilding China Guild Culture and Leisure Tourism Zone is a large-scale, high-starting, all-round and national tertiary industry project, which contains huge business opportunities. Promoting guild hall culture as an important city business card is an important channel and realization way to expand the contact between Wuhu and Chinese chambers of commerce around the world.

Wuhu has always been pro-business, harmonious and business-oriented. As early as the Qing Dynasty, Wuhu promulgated the Charter of China Commercial Protection, which provided a guarantee for the development of Wuhu's industry and commerce from the institutional level and policy environment.

Wuhu is a place where capitalism sprouted earlier, creating many new business formats and management methods.

By the Qing Dynasty, Wuhu people established the largest trading market of bamboo, cotton cloth, grain and steel in China with the spirit of "buying the world and selling it", which was called "gathering but not producing" in history. What's more worth mentioning is that Wuhu people founded the Regulations on Trafficking in Steel Bars, which may be the management method of the first steel trading market in the world and has far-reaching influence.

4. Wuhu has a developed customs culture. In the seventh year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, the central government set up an industrial customs in Wuhu. By the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Wuhu Customs had become the first of the eight customs in China, and Wuhu's "most lenient customs" had also become the customs with the most times and the most taxes.

There are many ideas worth learning from the tariff collection and management of Guanzhi in Wuhu.

At the same time, Wuhu's economic intermediary organizations are extremely developed. In the book Land and Water Travel in the World, Huang Bian praised Wuhu's dental industry for being "light-hearted", which shows the tax environment and efficiency of Wuhu at that time.

Wuhu's industrial and commercial civilization has a far-reaching impact on today's economic construction.

Third, civil social civilization is the social root of creating a good scientific and democratic atmosphere in Wuhu.

Wuhu is connected from north to south, from east to west, with mixed waterways. Historically, it is the most important place in China, and it is the best gathering place for people, logistics, information and capital flows.

In history, it has become an open and inclusive immigrant city after three great migrations in the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After the Song Dynasty, a civil society with civil life as the main body was formed.

In the whole environment of feudal rule, it is a weak area of feudal rule, a place conducive to the emergence of scientific and democratic factors, and a place conducive to early entry into modern times and modernization, which is embodied in:

1. From the perspective of technical input and religious input, it is extremely open and inclusive.

2. Citizens have strong autonomy.

Wuhu has always had a developed guild hall culture, and the Chamber of Commerce has played a great role. In Qing Dynasty, Wuhu people used the guild hall to win the victory of Yong Zhengdi's recall of Jiang Fu and Peng Zhengyin. In the Ming Dynasty, Wuhu people died in the county magistrate's anti-Japanese war. Without administrative leadership, Wuhu people organized themselves through various chambers of commerce headed by Ruan Bi, defeated the Japanese, saved Wuhu's industrial and commercial prosperity and social stability, and achieved the first record of resisting foreign invasion and winning victory in Wuhu history.

The spiritual world of Wuhu people is rich and colorful. Various Orthodox Christians have lived in harmony for thousands of years, with simple folk customs, peaceful ways, no extremes, no violence and cult incidents.

Wuhu people have the tradition of selling small baskets. Small vendors and vendors are all over the streets. Everyone starts a business to get rich. After starting a business, they went to the Yangtze River Delta and even overseas. Everyone wants to do small business, knows how to be happy, and embodies the values of pursuing individual liberation and freedom and democracy. Wuhu people rarely worship authority, and even there are no chastity archways and city walls on the street, which reflects an open and inclusive attitude towards life.

This is why many writers in China who reflect the literary works of civil society are engaged in writing in Wuhu.

For example, Tang Xianzu, the author of Peony Pavilion, Wu, the author of Scholars, and a number of influential works such as Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and Records of the Present Officialdom all describe Wuhu.

This is a unique landscape in the history of modern literature.

It goes without saying that a higher quality of citizens and an enlightened attitude towards life are conducive to creating a scientific and democratic atmosphere and to the rise and development of modern manufacturing.
