I believe everyone is familiar with Jixi, Anhui, which is one of the six counties in Huizhou City, Anhui Province. Its coordinates are located in southern Anhui. Jixi County can be said to be a county with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is also known as the hometown of Anhui cuisine. Its average annual total income level has reached 5.7 billion yuan in 2019, which can be said to be a very wealthy county.
The reason why Anhui is well known to everyone is actually not because of its good geographical location but because it is the birthplace of the modern Chinese writer Hu Shi. Hu Shi is a famous thinker and philosopher in my country. He has a high status in Chinese literature and philosophy forums. And his birthplace has naturally become an area visited by many literati. So what is Jixi's famous history and culture? Let me give you a brief analysis below.
First of all, Jixi is known as the "Hometown of Anhui Cuisine". As we all know, China’s eight major cuisines, Anhui cuisine, account for a large proportion. Anhui cuisine has a long history, and as the hometown of Anhui cuisine, Anhui's unique food cooking methods and seasoning blending can be said to have a long history.
The second is the Hui opera that we are familiar with. Anhui’s Hui opera is world-famous. Many state leaders have come to Jixi to listen to Jixi’s Hui opera. It can be seen how influential Hui opera is, and the Hui opera in Jixi County is also the most famous in Anhui Province.
The last one is Hui ink. The production process of Hui ink is very complicated and it is one of the most famous inks in China. At the same time, Hui ink is also one of the national intangible cultural heritages. It is a must-have calligraphy treasure for modern literati.
Jixi, Anhui is a city full of historical and cultural heritage. It had a lot of positive influence on the young Hu Shi. Both Hui opera and Hui ink have a heavy sense of history. It is this literary and artistic atmosphere that created Hu Shi's strong cultural heritage.
