Fengcheng River, which has nurtured Taizhou people for generations, is one of the few complete ancient rivers with thousands of acres of water around the city in Jiangsu Province. Boating on the river, you will fully appreciate the thick history of "the country built the Southern Tang Dynasty". More than 30 scenic spots, such as Fengcheng River, Wanghailou and Taoyuan Scenic Area, have gathered four characteristic cultures of Taizhou: history, opera, folk customs and merchants.
Second, Taizhou ancient music
Taizhou ancient music is a traditional folk music in Taizhou, which originated from Taizhou's Taoist music, Jiao Fang music, South Kunqu opera, Jiangnan Sizhu and Taizhou folk slang. It has distinctive regional characteristics and unique playing style. There is both the majestic sound of northern music and the feminine charm of southern music. At present, Taizhou ancient music has been listed as the second batch of intangible cultural heritage protection projects in Jiangsu Province.
Third, Taizhou Lishi
When people in Taizhou build a house, they usually put a stone on the foundation, either a millstone or "Mount Tai Shi Gandang", which is called "standing stone". This etiquette stems from the worship of stones. The millstone is an abandoned round stone mill, while Shi Gandang is a long strip stone about one meter long and half a meter wide.
Qinhu National Wetland Park
The park has superior natural resources and diverse biological types, including national first-class protected animals, such as red-crowned crane and elk, and national second-class protected animals, such as white swan, white-naped crane and silver pheasant. Qinhu National Wetland Park Qinhu Scenic Area is a provincial-level scenic spot and a national 5A-level tourist attraction approved by Jiangsu Provincial People's Government. It is the second national wetland park approved by the State Forestry Administration and the first national wetland park in Jiangsu Province.
Fifth, Taizhou Du Tianxing Palace.
Covers an area of nearly 10,000 square meters. It was built on the site of the ancient altar in the early years of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, with unique shape and orderly layout. In the second year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, in the twenty-second year of the Republic of China and in 2006, it was overhauled three times.
In the history of Taizhou, Du Tianxing Palace was once a Buddhist temple and a Dojo, and Du Tian was a folk god. Accompanied by various legends and customs with strong local characteristics, it witnessed the life of old Taizhou people, so incense has a strong influence among the people. The existing main buildings are in the architectural style of the early Qing Dynasty, mainly pavilions, which are unique among the temples in Jianghuai area.
