What are the historical and cultural characteristics of Yiwu?

Nowadays, with the popularity of northern dialects, Yiwu dialect has been well inherited and preserved, and a large number of ancient Chinese have also been inherited and preserved in Yiwu dialect. For example, "eating" means "eating rice". Both eating and drinking are expressed by "eating", including eating rice, drinking, drinking tea, smoking, being vegetarian, eating meat and eating vegetables.

For another example, the word "Xi" in Yiwu dialect is called "Xi" instead of "Xi", and its pronunciation and meaning are surprisingly consistent with those in ancient Chinese. Call "crazy" epilepsy, "chopsticks" chopsticks, "grandma", "sleeping" is called "sleeping" instead of "sleeping", staying overnight is called "staying overnight" and "building a house" is called "building a house". In Yiwu dialect, when we say "spicy", "hot" and "ice", we will add a word "human" after these words, showing the usage centered on "human".

This shows how meaningful the inheritance of dialects is. Now some parents let their children speak Mandarin and learn foreign languages, but they ignore our most precious traditional culture. It's really sad and regrettable that children can't even speak Yiwu.

Yiwu is rich in customs and culture.

In Yiwu, there are many customs with strong local characteristics, as well as excellent folk performing arts such as Daoqing, welcoming dragon lanterns and writing gongs in Yiwu.

Daoqing in Yiwu is one of the treasures of many traditional arts in Yiwu. It has no fixed tune, and is often played by performers according to their own voice characteristics and rap tunes, with the goal of listening to them. Therefore, there are many schools of Taoism in Yiwu for a long time, and it is unique in the field of Quyi.

Yiwu is also very particular about weddings and funerals. In the old society, it was a great event to get married in Yiwu. A couple's marriage needs at least half a year and at most three years to prepare the bride's dowry. There are also many procedures: matchmaker matchmaking, betrothal, giving gifts (betrothal gifts), sending dates, picking fruits (called "picking powder" in Xixiang), saying goodbye, returning gifts, raising wine, seeing off ancestors, getting married, bride getting on a sedan chair, worshiping heaven and earth, having a banquet, and making trouble in a new house (commonly known as "begging for fruit"

Yiwu folk customs emphasize the friendship of flesh and blood and respect for the elderly and filial piety. If a family member is sick, please seek medical attention in time, wait day and night, and bring tea and medicine in time. Clean the patient's body, turn over frequently, and dispose of excretory dirt at any time. Never tired, never frown. A hundred years later, filial piety for men and women, filial piety for children, passed down from generation to generation, has become a common practice. At the end of the 20th century, Yiwu carried out cremation in an all-round way, and the urn was placed in the cemetery. Most cemeteries around the country are built in mountainous areas, and funeral etiquette is generally the same except coffins.

Yiwu has a long history.

Yiwu has been popular since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was built in the Qin Dynasty, named Wu Shang (222 BC), belonging to Huiji County. At that time, Jinhua and Yiwu were at the same administrative level, indicating that Yiwu was already large in scale in the Qin Dynasty, and Yiwu had a developed water transport network in ancient times, which was one of the necessary geographical conditions for Yiwu's prosperity.

Some scholars believe that the origin of the name "Wu Shang" is not as simple as the popular crow building a grave for his dutiful son. The legend of dutiful son as a place name seems a bit far-fetched He believes that "Wu" stands for "the sun" in the old saying, that is to say, Yiwu is a place named after the sun, and it is likely to be an extremely prosperous place in ancient times. Because it experienced a huge catastrophe, it was named "injury". Of course, these are just speculations and need to be verified.
