For Wenzhou people, Mo Yan has a very accurate evaluation: "There are places where birds can't fly, but there is no place where Wenzhou people can't go."

Perhaps it is precisely because of the spirit of "being the first in the world" that Wenzhou people have left the impression of "great wealth" in the minds of people all over the country.

how impressed is this?

Zhang Hui, a senior media person, mentioned a very interesting little clip in Wenzhou Interesting:

Wang, a northerner, once worked as a martial arts stuntman in Hengdian Film and Television City and played with Sammo Hung.

In January 217, Wang went all the way to a jewelry store in Wenzhou and robbed a kilo of gold on the grounds that he "thought Wenzhou people were rich".

However, if your impression of Wenzhou still stays on the labels of "real estate speculators", "Jiangnan leather factory" and "Wenzhou merchants", it is all wet.

There are more interesting places in this city than you think.

Wenzhou is Master Hongyi's second hometown, which he said in the newspaper himself. Why did he choose to come to Wenzhou after becoming a monk in Hangzhou for several years? This may be related to the piety and kind invitation of Zhou Mengyou, a Wenzhou layman, to Buddhism, or it may be that Qingfu Temple adheres to the teachings of legalism, while Hongyi is just studying legalism, which is more related to the climate in Wenzhou.

after becoming a monk, Hongyi strictly abides by the precepts, "clothes are not enough for three", which is not a problem in spring, summer and autumn, but in the cold winter, he is too weak to cope with. In the second year of Hongyi's arrival in Wenzhou, when the abbot of Baiqingfu Temple, Monk Jishan, was the teacher, he once said, "I take Yongjia (formerly known as Yongjia in Wenzhou) as my second hometown and Qingfu Temple as my second permanent residence, so that I can do things with peace of mind. Fortunately, I will not give up."

It is said that since March 1923, Hongyi has traveled all over the world, and he often goes back to Wenzhou for the winter in the cold winter. Every summer, the climate is hot, just like traveling in other places, as long as conditions permit, we should return to Wenzhou, which is relatively cool, for the summer. It seems that Wenzhou's warm winter and cool summer climate is very attractive to him.

Jiangxin Island, the first of the four famous islands in China, is the most worthwhile scenic spot in Wenzhou.

"Clouds are moving towards each other, and the tide is long, long, long, and long." This overlapping couplet is hung at the gate of Jiangxin Temple. According to legend, it was written by Wang Shipeng, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty, when he went to Jiangxin Temple for the night before the exam.

When the abbot was young, the Zen master couldn't read it, thinking that Wang Shipeng was fooling people, he said angrily, "You are a liar and you call yourself a scholar. I don't think you can read a few words!" Wang Shipeng said with a smile, "Master, don't be angry, let me read it to you: the clouds are moving towards the tide, moving towards the tide, and moving towards the tide; The tide often rises, often rises, often rises and often disappears. "

It is said that there are many ways to read this couplet, no matter which one, it describes the beautiful scenery of clouds gathering and clouds rising and falling in Jiangxinyu, which is really unique.

The landscape in Wenzhou is full of martial arts. In 26, the Zhang Jizhong version of The Condor Heroes loved Yandang Mountain. The majestic Lingyan Scenic Area is the shooting place of scenes such as heartbroken cliff, the exit of the tomb of the living dead, the top of Mount Zhongnan and the mouth of Wanshou Mountain Villa.

Guanyin Cave in Lingfeng Scenic Area is used as the shooting site of Chongyang Palace. The bottom of the heartbroken cliff pool where Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl met again sixteen years later was set in Dalong Waterfall.

nirvana in fire was a hit in 215, in which Langya Pavilion, the most beautiful and mysterious intelligence organization, was hidden in Yandang Mountain, just like a fairyland. In 217, "The Wind Rises in Langya List" drew more scenes from various scenic spots in Yandang Mountain, including Xiansheng Door Scenic Resort in Longxi and Sanshui Cliff, which are called "the first gate in the world". It is said that when Huang Xiaoming came to shoot the location, fans called for "shaking" the valley.

In 218, the new version of "The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Feelings" was also filmed in Xiansheng Door Scenic Resort. Kathy CHAU, who used to play Zhou Zhiruo, turned into an extinct teacher and led the disciples of Emei Sect to walk under the door.

As a living fossil of the sounds of Tang and Song Dynasties, ancient words and sounds abound in Wenzhou dialect. In other words, an uneducated old Wenzhou native may "understand" the phonology better than a college student majoring in Chinese language and literature.

Some scholars believe that Xia Chengtao and Wang Jisi, known as the "one-pronoun Sect" and "the great master of Yuan Qu", can become great people because they are both from Wenzhou and can speak Wenzhou dialect, thus quickly entering the hall of phonology closely related to Ci and Qu.

Because of this, Wenzhou has become the hometown of linguists and fertile ground for studying ancient languages. Dai Dong, who wrote Six Stories in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Sun Yirang, a master of park studies in the Qing Dynasty, were both great linguists born in Wenzhou. At present, among a group of accomplished linguists in China, Wenzhou people account for a considerable proportion, including Mr. Zheng Zhangshangfang, who died in 218.

I'm from Lishui, Zhuji.

On the way, I thought this was the place you passed.

I can see Wenzhou City on the boat.

I think you live there.

This Wenzhou City is like a treasure ball shining.

-Zhang Ailing

In February of 1946, when the spring was chilly, Zhang Ailing chased Wenzhou for love. At that time, Hu Lancheng, the man she loved, was wanted, but she took her friend Fan Xiumei's little hand, strolled Xinhe Street in Wenzhou, where the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and climbed Haitan Mountain, enjoying the "love of lotus in early summer".

Hu Lancheng was surprised, not happy, and even angry at Zhang Ailing's coming for love. He put Zhang Ailing in a hotel in Wenzhou City, and only stayed with her during the day for fear that the police would not dare to stay overnight.

Later, in all relevant reports or articles, whenever this hotel was mentioned, it was called a hotel next to the park, with no name. Recently, some media reported that the Xintonghua Hotel, which was located in Datie Lane on the north side of the middle section of Wuma Street at that time, was most likely this hotel.

at one time, it was one of the most famous brand stores in Wenzhou, with complete infrastructure such as upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, restaurants, bathrooms, public toilets, etc., which was the first move at that time.

People in Wuhan like to eat duck neck, while people in Wenzhou like to eat duck tongue. Duck tongue is not only a must for the dining table of Wenzhou hotel, but also a "two generals" with Jiang crab students, and it is also a good gift for Wenzhou people. When Fu Mingxia, the "diving queen", came to Wenzhou to compete, she couldn't stop trying the duck tongue for the first time.

It's strange that many delicious snacks in Wenzhou are named according to the boss's body shape or characteristics. Apart from dwarf muffins and long-term wonton, there are also flat-headed lamp cakes, squint shrimps, white snake biscuits and twins.

The shrimp seller is a squint, while the wok seller is a pair of twins, and the white snake sesame seed cake is naturally related to beautiful women.

For a long time, Wenzhou people have been referred to as "Oriental Jews", and there is another saying that Wenzhou people's hair is hollow, which means that Wenzhou people are so clever that even their hair is hollow.

After Trump was elected president of the United States, Wen Shang Zhu Yuxing was very happy because his "Trump" brand became a hit. As early as 28, Zhu Yuxing applied to register the trademark rights of Trump in category 9 (integrated circuits, home controllers, etc.) and category 6 (valves, hardware, etc.).

"At that time, the brands of switching electrical products were mostly two words, and three words just became popular, so I wanted to take a foreign name." He thinks that "Trump" is foreign-sounding and has a particularly sunny meaning, and he also knows that Trump is a successful real estate tycoon. "They are all doing business and want to learn from him." Trump himself has applied for dozens of trademarks in China since 25, involving hotels, insurance, finance, education and other industries. It is estimated that he never dreamed of it, and there are still loopholes for Wenzhou people to pick up.

Although many people know that Wenzhou is the hometown of swimming, and Lv Zhiwu and Xu Jiayu are both swimming champions, many people don't know that Wenzhou is also a veritable hometown of mathematicians. It is said that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a quarter of the department heads of mathematics in domestic universities were from Wenzhou.

In the history of modern mathematics in China, many firsts were created by Wenzhou people. In 1896, Sun Yirang, a Wen scholar, founded the Rui 'an School of Mathematics, which was the earliest specialized mathematics school in Zhejiang. In 1897, Huang Qingcheng, a Wenzhou juren, founded China's first mathematical journal, Journal of Mathematics. In 1899, the Ruian Arithmetic Society appeared in Wenzhou, which was a regional mathematical society in early modern China. According to research, from 1898 to 198, most Wenzhou people who studied abroad studied mathematics.

It's hard for outsiders to imagine that no matter how humble small things get into the eyes of Wenzhou people, they can turn decay into magic and make a big industry. The most typical is the "four small commodities" in Jinxiang, Cangnan: aluminum badges, plastic coupons, plastic film certificates and polyester trademarks. Simply put, it is all kinds of school badges, commemorative medals, early meal tickets, letters of appointment, etc. Many people are skeptical that these gadgets have become an industry, saying that they are exported overseas.

Take Jinxiang Badge Factory as an example, where party emblem is produced at a fixed point. The costume badges of the troops stationed in the Supreme People's Court in 1999, the badges representing the national image on the costumes of, and the costume badges of the China People's Liberation Army in 1999 were all made in Jinxiang!

commemorative medals for the World Cup, Asian Games and other grand events, as well as various clothing badges of the United Nations peacekeeping forces and the military and police of Britain, the United States, Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and other countries, are also made by Made in China-Jinxiang Badge Factory. It is true that the business has been done in all countries in the world. Jinxiang people proudly said: "Let the world know China through badges and let enterprises go to the world through badges!"

The above contents are all from the new book "Interesting Wenzhou" by Zhang Hui, director of Wenzhou Daily New Media Center.
