Zhanjiang's blue seashore tourism and marine tourism resources, green ecology and agricultural tourism resources, red soil customs and historical and cultural resources constitute that Zhanjiang people are relatively simple and hospitable and not very exclusive. No matter what you say: Mandarin, English, Cantonese, Guilin dialect, or learn to speak a few local languages, you will answer as long as you understand them.

We went to Leizhou bus station to ask someone for directions, but two people scrambled to answer. There were few people crossing the Bay Bridge by bus, so my wife ran to the passenger seat to take pictures of the scenery. The driver didn't mind but drove more steadily. When we got off the bus, we were looking for the ferry pier, and two or three little girls with bright faces showed us the way.

historically, the "Three Yues in Lingnan" only "Dongyue (Guangdong)" combined with the "Central Plains Culture" radiated from the Central Plains best. The core of this Central Plains culture is "Han Culture", which was first connected by Chu.

Thanks to the early cultural integration, the political situation in East Vietnam was the most stable, followed by "China-Vietnam" in Guangxi and "West Vietnam" again.

Up to now, "Sino-Vietnamese" Guangxi has been autonomous by the Zhuang nationality, and many living habits of the Zhuang nationality and the Han nationality have long been interlinked. As one of the largest ethnic minorities in the Chinese nation, the relationship between the Zhuang nationality and the Han nationality is also the most harmonious, which really sets an example for other ethnic minorities, especially the "Han nationality".

"West Vietnam" Vietnam is dominated by Jing nationality. It likes to call itself Kyoto, but it is difficult to accommodate the Han nationality, but it often wants to compete with it, so it becomes a foreign country.

Guangdong, the "East Vietnam", has long been integrated into the "Chinese land" and has become an inseparable part of the Chinese family.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Cantonese people have never considered themselves as foreign countries or nationalities. They always encourage themselves with the backbone of Chinese culture. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was Sun Yat-sen, a native of Guangdong, who first put forward the slogan of "expelling the Tatars and restoring China".

It is precisely because of this historical origin that you can hardly feel the breath of ethnic minorities in Guangdong.

Although "Cantonese" is connected with each other and spread widely, Guangxi and Guangdong, both Cantonese-speaking regions, give people different impressions.

Cantonese in Guangdong has a distinct flavor of "Chinese Cantonese" and has a one-to-one correspondence with "Chinese characters", while "Zhuang Yue" in Guangxi has no correspondence with "Zhuang characters", so we can only borrow Chinese characters.

In Vietnam, "Beijing-Guangdong" is a completely different scene: the characters are confused, including borrowed Chinese characters, Vietnamese-created "Nan characters", even French Pinyin made by the French, and some Greek characters.

The infiltration of culture affects thinking and behavior. The influence of Chinese culture in East Guangdong makes us feel that it is like our hometown, and all kinds of customs seem to have met or met, except for the difference of local accent.

Therefore, Cantonese people are not exclusive to mainlanders.

However, in the early days of reform and opening up, the phenomenon of xenophobia in Guangdong was still quite serious.

Being close to Hong Kong, it is convenient to get a lot of information from overseas, and the income of Cantonese people has greatly increased in a short period of time, which makes them feel that their status is higher than that of the mainland, and mainlanders come to Guangdong to work to collect gold and seek their advantage.

At that time, Guangdong seemed to be the representative of Chinese mainland's advanced culture and advanced productive forces, and Cantonese songs were popular all over the country. Anyone who went to karaoke could not get by without learning to sing a few Cantonese songs.

Xenophobia is often a contempt for cultural lag by advanced cultures, such as American immigration policy, British restrictions on Asians, and Japanese's * * * * …….

At that time, Guangdong's xenophobia was a kind of psychological superiority aroused by the brief promotion of material civilization, which may be the biggest xenophobia feeling in Guangdong's history.

Sometimes you get lost in the street and ask an old lady, who clearly understands Mandarin but responds to you in Cantonese, pointing in the opposite direction.

now, the situation is much better.

With the establishment of Shenzhen Special Zone, various local languages in China have been brought together artificially, and different cultural communities have been formed in a short period of time. Cantonese no longer has obvious advantages here. For the convenience of communication between different communities, Putonghua has become a common language, which has created a unique regional cultural phenomenon in China, or it can be called "Special Zone Culture".

But Zhanjiang is different from Shenzhen. Because of its special geographical environment and specific urban functions, Zhanjiang, as a military port in southern China, can't stand on the cusp of China's reform and opening up. Therefore, they certainly don't have a thrilling experience, and they can't get the sense of superiority that Shenzhen's material status has brought in a short time. They still maintain the simplicity and nature of the place to a great extent.

If Shenzhen is not exclusive because of relative material progress and cultural integration, Zhanjiang is not exclusive because of relative material backwardness and cultural closure.

As far as the whole Guangdong theory is concerned, due to the deep-rooted influence of the Central Plains culture, their exclusion is only aimed at those areas with underdeveloped materials and people with low social status in the Mainland, just as Shanghainese used to regard foreigners as "shantou people", while Shanghai's predecessor was the small fishing village where shantou people lived, and Shanghai's "city people" were the former "shantou people".

tourists play the cloud: it is possible for Guangdong to be separated from the politics of the Central Plains (* * *), but it is impossible to be separated from the culture of the Central Plains (Chinese culture).

In fact, the invasion of foreign cultures has not done much harm to the cultures in East Guangdong, including local folk customs and even lifestyles such as diet and clothing habits. On the contrary, the entry of foreign cultures has brought more convenience to local material civilization and life. Therefore, East Cantonese people have little reason to fight with foreign cultures to survive.

In this way, gentleness, informality, leisure, virtue, tolerance and laziness are the characteristics of most Cantonese people, and they are also the characteristics of Zhanjiang people, which cultivate their nature of being hospitable and kind to people.

once, we went to Huguangyan by bus, and many villagers took the bus along the way, because Huguangyan was on the slant, and that road had to pass through several villages.

Soon, I seemed to feel eyes staring at me on my back, so I subconsciously touched the camera hanging in front of * * * and the wallet behind * * *.

After several stops, my eyes were still there. I pretended to twist my neck to dredge my bones and muscles, and I glanced at the back of the carriage with the corner of my eye. I felt that many eyes were looking at me without any malice.

in a short time, I felt the clothes behind me being pinched gently, and I immediately turned around to ask the truth.

At this moment, I saw a young man holding a small caterpillar in his hand and said with a silly smile, "It's crawling on you …" I understood his kindness and entanglement: he sat behind me and saw a bug crawling on my back all the time, trying to pinch it off, but he was afraid of my misunderstanding. If he patted me and told me that there was a bug behind me, he would make a mountain out of a molehill.

In this way, he struggled with his thoughts. After a long time, he finally made a well-intentioned but bold move-quickly pinched the worm away for me.

what can I say except to thank you repeatedly?

There is a West Lake in Zhanjiang. In Leizhou, Zhanjiang people have a special liking for their own West Lake. This West Lake located in Leizhou is one of the 36 West Lakes in China.

Leizhou West Lake and Hangzhou West Lake, like sisters, have their own extraordinary experiences. Both of them have traveled for Dongpo and other sages and have been re-written by later generations.

Leizhou West Lake also has elements of Hangzhou West Lake, such as "Su Causeway", "Broken Bridge", "Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon", "Singing in the Willow Waves" and "Watching Fish in the Flower Harbor", but it is a bit more miserable.

The Story of Building the West Lake in Leizhou: "The West Lake was named Luohu in ancient times.

In the fourth year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty (1197), Su Shi and Su Zhe were demoted to Leipan Lake, and Leiren changed Luohu to West Lake as a sign of respect.

Since then, it has been built several times, with a lake and a pavilion, which is famous for its beauty ... "The well-preserved historical sites such as Shixian Temple, Junyuan Academy, Kougong Temple and Sugong Pavilion show Zhan people's admiration for the sages of the Central Plains.

In the nearby Leizhou No.1 Middle School, students often come to the West Lake in pairs to pay tribute to the deeds of sages and bathe in literature.

There is no Leifeng Pagoda in Leizhou West Lake, but there is a higher Ternary Pagoda, which is located in Ternary Pagoda Park. It has an octagonal brick-wood structure, with 17 floors outside the nine floors and a height of 57.4 meters. Each floor has a "through flow Passage", which has crossed and fallen, and it has not stood tall despite strong winds. It has been 411 years since.

There are hundreds of stone dogs in various shapes in the Stone Dog Exhibition Hall in the park, which is the representative of Zhanjiang's unique "stone dog culture".

In the past, Leizhou people gave their children baby names "paparazzi", "dog treasure" and "dog egg", all of which were related to the stone dog culture.

For thousands of years, the stone dog in Leizhou has been a folk belief of Leizhou people. The local people worship the dog statue as a patron saint and mascot, praying for good weather and peace in the four seasons, and blessing children to grow up safely.

Leizhou Peninsula's superior ecological environment makes Leizhou live a leisurely and comfortable life. They are unwilling to fight and even less willing to fight unless absolutely necessary.

There is a "Leizhou Retired Workers Management Committee" at the entrance of Sanyuan Park. Retired workers who have nothing to do gather here under a big banyan tree to listen to the "Leizhou accent". The kind of singing is like Sin Nui Hung, and the lyrics can be made up and written now, mostly short stories from parents or stories of ancient characters.

it's free to listen to the opera, and you can also take photos casually.

Some people who engage in three-wheeled soliciting business take tourists to the park, and by the way, they lie in their cars and tilt their feet to listen to a song. Passers-by can also sit down and listen to it at will, and then disperse after singing a few songs.

Under the Bay Bridge, a couple lie on the floor in the shade of Qiaotou Park, hugging each other to sleep. It seems that they are in their own beds.

Couples of brides and grooms let the wedding company fiddle with various POSE, and the dancing wedding dress faces the breeze on the sea, as if stretching their youth.

The white bridge is set off by the blue sky, accompanied by the sea, and accompanied by the setting sun of coconut trees.

On a beach under the arch of the bridge, a young mother took her child to play with sand, read a book by herself, saw us taking pictures, and smiled and said to the child, "Call grandparents!" " I was taken aback: am I so old? Later, it suddenly dawned on me that calling elders is the respect of Zhanjiang people for their guests, and it is also a local custom.

it's better to call grandpa kind than uncle.

Zhanjiang people don't like to fool around, and they are not as clever as Northeasters. They can call everyone Big Brother.

This is Zhanjiang and her local customs: carefree, complacent, and a little modest and shy.
