In fact, the most important thing in China is the ancient architecture, and people who love to travel often don't miss the ancient city. I used to think that the ancient city was nothing more than the same. In addition to some ancient buildings, there are many newly built ancient streets, and then there is a commercial street where all kinds of food are sold and tourists are bustling. Later, after careful observation, people found that each ancient city has its own distinctive characteristics.
We traveled along the coastline to Fujian, and there is no shortage of ancient cities in Fujian. The first stop in Fujian is Zhangzhou. The name Zhangzhou sounds very historic. It is adjacent to Xiamen, which is very hot. Many people often ignore the tourism in Zhangzhou after coming here. In fact, there is an ancient city with a very deep foundation hidden in the downtown area of Zhangzhou.
The ancient city of Zhangzhou is located in the center of prosperous commerce and trade, and it is also an ancient city with concentrated historical buildings and traditional culture. The five characteristics of "Old Street Love, Slow Life, Minnan Flavor, Republic of China Style and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Love" are very distinct, and the cultural tourism resources are very rich.
When I drive near the ancient city, I can see all kinds of ancient buildings in the ancient city. First of all, I can see that they are red and white, which is the characteristic of Nanyang. The whole area still completely retains the natural features of "three pillows and two rivers" since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the fortification system of "taking the river as the city and the bridge as the door" and the street pattern of nine streets and thirteen lanes. Streets and alleys crisscross, but they are undoubtedly the legacy of history.
The ancient city of Zhangzhou is also red, where the former site of the red government in Fujian during the revolutionary period is preserved, and it has produced great energy in this simple small building.
From ancient times to the present, Zhangzhou can be said to be rich in humanities. According to the Records of Zhangzhou Prefecture, there were 330 literati in Zhangzhou during the Ming Dynasty, among whom there were many scholars who won the top prize, ranked second and explored flowers. It is also synonymous with the smooth and prosperous career of scientific research high schools. After returning to China, memorial archways and ancestral halls will be built in Zhangzhou, in order to impress this glorious history on future generations.
At that time, on the road in Hong Kong, there was a Nanjing official named Lin. This memorial archway of "Exploring Flowers in Shangshu" was built by Lin in the thirty-third year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1605). Lin Yisheng's brilliant achievements are engraved in Shangshu Flower Exploration Workshop. For more than 400 years, this stone archway has stood on Hong Kong Road and become an example for students in Zhangzhou.
Walking along the road, among the antique buildings, every building here has its own characteristics. Looking around, there is a feeling of Taiwanese drama in the 1990 s. In fact, the hometown of most people in Taiwan Province Province is Fujian. After learning about the architectural style here, they started building in Taiwan Province Province. Visiting Zhangzhou is similar to visiting Taiwan Province Province.
When you come to the ancient city of Zhangzhou, you can't miss the Confucian Temple in Zhangzhou, which was built in the fourth year of Song Liqing, namely 1044. The existing building area is 2600 square meters, and the whole Confucian Temple is still in the system, which completely retains the characteristics of ancient wooden structures in the south and integrates the architectural style in the north. It has high historical, scientific and artistic value and is an important material for studying ancient buildings in the southeast coast of China. Dacheng Hall of Zhangzhou Confucian Temple is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
In addition to the Confucian Temple, many famous people's former residences are also very interesting. Both the former residence and the Lin ancestral hall are worth seeing, especially the Lin ancestral hall, also called Bigan Ancestral Hall. The worship of Bigan in the temple can be regarded as one of the wonders here.
When we visit the ancient city of Zhangzhou, we must pay attention to the doors of the shops. Many shops here are century-old shops, and the doors alone make tourists feel very brought in.
Don't treat your stomach badly when you visit the ancient city and enjoy the scenery. The first kind of food is oyster omelet, also called oyster omelet. The oyster omelet in Zhangzhou is made of pure oysters wrapped in egg white, which is crispy and delicious. Sour radish slices and dipping sauce are also sour and refreshing, very greasy. Although it is roughly the same as Guangdong roasted oysters, its taste is also quite different.
The other is four fruit soup. Four fruit soup originated in Zhangzhou. The Siguo soup here is really different from Xiamen, with more ingredients and more feet. As a sweet soup, it won't be very sweet, but it will be sweet, and it will be covered with thick smoothies with small solid ingredients underneath, which is super enjoyable to eat.
