1. What ancient buildings and historical monuments are there in Shaoxing?
Anchang Ancient Town, Keqiao’s Old Bridge, Keqiao’s ancient towpath, Keqiao’s Taiping Bridge (which has a long history , should be about 500 years old).
We found others for you. The Mausoleum of Dayu is located at the foothills of Kuaiji Mountain in the southeastern suburbs of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It is the burial place of Dayu, the ancient flood control hero more than 4,000 years ago. The Mausoleum of Dayu faces east and faces west. It is composed of three major architectural complexes: Yuling Mausoleum, Yu Temple, and Yu Temple. All three are in the same place. The latter two are derived from the former. In terms of architecture, Yu Temple should be the first. .
The entrance to Yuling is a bluestone monument, followed by a shrine more than 100 meters long. There are five pairs of stone carved mythical animals on both sides of the shrine. At the end of the Shinto is the stele pavilion of Dayu's Mausoleum. Inside the pavilion is a stone tablet of "Dayu's Mausoleum" written by Nan Daji, the prefect of Shaoxing in the Ming Dynasty.
There are locust trees, pines and cypresses, green bamboos and other plants planted in front of the mausoleum. The Yu Temple is located on the left side of the Yu Mausoleum. It is said that it was first built during the Shaokang period of the Xia Dynasty. It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times since then.
The existing Yu Temple was rebuilt in recent years. It has two courtyards separated by a patio, which is very characteristic of Jiangnan folk architecture. There is a clear pool in front of the temple, as leisurely as a mirror, called "Release Pool".
The "Yu Temple" plaque was inscribed by the famous painter Wu Zuoren. There are brick carvings of "Dayu Controlling Floods" and "Rewarding for Merit" on the left and right sides of the forward passage, and there is a statue of Dayu inside the rear passage.
The Yu Temple is located on the right side of the Yu Mausoleum. It was first built in the 11th year of Liang Datong in the Southern Dynasties (545 AD), and has been built in subsequent dynasties. From south to north, there are buildings such as the Yuan Gate, the Screen Wall, the Stele Pavilion, the Lingxing Gate, the Meridian Gate, the Sacrifice Hall, and the Main Hall.
Among them, the early cultural relics of the Liangzhu Culture unearthed in Zhuji from the Ming Dynasty include stone adzes, stone arrowheads, and tripods from the Liangzhu Culture period, printed pottery pots from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and carved celadon dishes and lotus patterns from the Six Dynasties period. Celadon bowls, wine jars, house models from the Song Dynasty, etc. The 1.5- to 2-meter layer of the Shata Jianshan Bay site is the accumulation layer of the Liangzhu Culture period about 5,000 years ago. Some stone adzes, stone axes and other stone tools have been unearthed recently. The pottery fragments such as the tripod legs, especially the oblate and cylindrical tripod legs, have obvious characteristics of the early Liangzhu Culture. The upper part of the cultural layer during the Liangzhu Culture period is mainly the cultural accumulation layer of the Song Dynasty. Bowls, carved goblets, pottery layer models and other utensils were unearthed, especially pottery layer models, which are of great historical significance to the study of Song Dynasty architecture. .
Shaoxing Lufeng Temple Lufeng Temple is located in Yuling Township, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It was built in the first year of Daming Dynasty (457) in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,500 years. The founder of the temple is monk Huijing, and his inheritance is a branch of Zen Buddhism.
It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times in history. The existing buildings were rebuilt in 1984 with the support of the Shaoxing Municipal Government, mainly Shanmen, Dabei Tower, Sansheng Temple, Guanyin Hall, etc., with a construction area of ??about 3,000 square meters. They were renovated again in 1997.
Master Wu, the current abbot of Lufeng Temple, is 78 years old. He is a native of Daishan, Zhejiang. He became a monk in 1930. He is also the executive director of the Zhejiang Buddhist Association, the president of the Shaoxing Buddhist Association, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shaoxing CPPCC, and the vice chairman of the Xinchang County CPPCC. . 2. What is the historical origin of Shaoxing rice wine
There are many places in my country that produce rice wine and there are many varieties of rice wine. However, the most well-known and popular rice wine at home and abroad is Shaoxing wine. Many people mention it. Chinese wine, when talking about rice wine, we are talking about Shaoxing wine.
The origin time of Shaoxing wine has been difficult to verify. Based on the large amount of rice and pottery similar to wine vessels unearthed from Hemudu culture, preliminary inference is that Shaoxing wine should have originated in the Hemudu culture period more than 6,000 years ago. The official written record of Shaoxing wine is from the time of King Gou Jian of Yue. In 492 BC, King Gou Jian of Yue, who was defeated by Wu State, took his wife to Wu State to work as a slave. In "Wu Yue Chun Qiu", the official Wen Zhong toasted twice. It is recorded that "I would like to recommend you some preserved meat, and I will have two cups of wine."
This is the first official written record of Shaoxing wine. 3. The origin of Hechangtang in Shaoxing
Lonely Hechangtang Shen Shihao The drizzle is falling.
Stepping into Qiu Jin’s former residence and Changtang in Shaoxing, there was no one inside. Standing here quietly, quietly sending a petal of fragrance to the departing heroine of Jianhu.
At the entrance of Guxuan Pavilion, where Qiu Jin died heroically, stands a monument left over from the Republic of China era. It is tapered and not high, but it gives people a melancholy and solemn feeling.
The gloomy and terrifying execution ground written by Mr. Lu Xun in his novel "Medicine" is now a bustling city full of traffic. Among the people who are trudging through the hustle and bustle of the world, will anyone still remember this fierce female hero of the generation? Compared with Zhou Enlai's ancestral home and Lu Xun's former residence, Hechangtang is much simpler.
Deep in the ancient alley, there is an ordinary old house with black tiles, white walls, and a narrow brick gatehouse. Of course, there are no stone lions that symbolize the strictness of the mansion. Passing through the hall, the penthouses on both sides are very, very small.
Inside is a deep patio, paved with cobblestones, with two osmanthus trees as thick as bowls on the left and right. Although the flowers have withered, the green shade is blurry and thick. The vast and tragic history once left an exclamation mark here that shocked the world.
The wind and rain are like darkness, and in the silent place, you can still feel the rumble of thunderous footsteps. The main hall is the Hechang Hall, which is spacious and grand.
The wooden pillars hugging each other are mottled. The old-fashioned Taishi chairs around it cannot withstand the erosion of severe years, the paint has peeled off, and they are very old.
In the middle of the Buddhist niche, the kind Bodhisattva no longer knows where he is, leaving only an empty long table. There are only three words "He Chang Tang" on the high-hanging plaque. The words are as big as a bucket and the ink is as splashed, shaking off the vicissitudes and loneliness of history.
The right wing is Qiu Jin’s study and bedroom. It's not big, with wooden floors, a desk by the window, and an armchair. It seems to be patiently watching, watching for loneliness, watching for the sun and moon, and watching for the mistress's return.
There are still documents written by her herself on the desk, and the ink is still fresh. Among them, there is a very complete idea of ??the army organization of the rebel army.
A beautiful and beautiful woman prepares her troops in autumn on the battlefield. How can it not inspire respect? The bed was against the wall of the bedroom. Qiu Jin, who was careful, seemed to have foreseen that something might happen, so she specially set up a small darkroom in the wall to secretly hide pistols and other small weapons and documents.
After Qiu Jin was unfortunately arrested, Qing soldiers searched here many times but never discovered the secret. The left wing is where Qiu Jin and her comrades gather secretly.
Now, it is the exhibition room of Qiu Jin’s deeds. The most touching treasure is Qiu Jin's bloody clothes left behind when he died heroically.
The clothes have faded to grayish white, and are stained with blood. Although they have turned into light black, they are still clearly identifiable. The loyal soul is forged in the blue blood and yellow sand, and a song falls from the sky.
Qiu Jin’s sacrifice is particularly tragic. She is not only a woman, but also a mother. She has a very lovely son and a daughter, both of whom are young.
When the revolution required her to sacrifice her head without hesitation, she showed no fear. Passing through Hechang Hall is the backyard.
There is a well on the right side of the empty courtyard. After Qiu Jin was arrested, there was a white terror. Her family risked their lives and burned all the documents Qiu Jin left behind at the well in the middle of the night to protect other revolutionaries.
Today, all traces are gone, leaving only the endless memories of those who came after. Against the wall is the kitchen, where the pots and stoves are still there. Although the room is empty and there is no smoke, I can feel that they have not gone far.
It seems that, just after a moment, you can hear the sound of the wooden door of the kitchen opening. Who in the world does not know you? She is truly living in the shining annals of history.
After carefully looking at Qiu Jin’s photos, I realized that Qiu Jin is very beautiful. Wu Yue produced beauties. Xishi, known as one of the four beauties in China, was born not far from Shaoxing. Now it has been developed into a new tourist spot, and tourists flock to it.
The world is so long, her footprints, her figure, and even her warm breath are forever left here. During Qiu Jin's lifetime, although she was a woman, she did not wear makeup, did not admire luxury, and did not like people's hype.
Shaoxing has always been home to outstanding people. She is lucky to have this quiet corner of the place, especially the warm family home she has loved since she was a child. She can quietly patrol the sun and moon here alone, read the Spring and Autumn Period, and learn about Jiuquan. Smile. 4. Xinchang has several years of history
1. According to research: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xinchang County belonged to Yue, Wu, Chu and other countries. It belonged to Kuaiji County from the Qin Dynasty, and it was Kuaiji County from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty Part of Shan County under its jurisdiction. In the second year of Kaiping in Houliang Dynasty (908), 13 townships in the southeastern part of Shan County were analyzed and established as Xinchang County. The name of the county was derived from the name of Xinchang Township. It is successively affiliated to Yuezhou, Shaoxing Prefecture, Shaoxing Region, and Shaoxing City.
2. Xinchang County was called Yandong in ancient times, also known as Nanming. It is under the jurisdiction of Shaoxing City and located in the eastern part of Zhejiang Province. Before the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Shan County. After the Five Dynasties, Liang established the county in the second year of Kaiping (908). It is now listed as a coastal economic open area and belongs to the Shanghai economic area. With the completion and opening of Ningbo's international "Oriental Port", Xinchang's regional advantages have become more significant. The county borders Ninghai and Fenghua to the east, Tiantai to the south, Pan'an and Dongyang to the southwest, and Shengzhou City from west to north. The distance from east to west is 52.3 kilometers, and the distance from north to south is 36.9 kilometers.
So, to sum up: Xinchang County was established in the second year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, which is 908 AD; it has a history of more than 1,100 years.

Spring Festival: the Chinese New Year in the lunar calendar First known as the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival is also called the lunar (lunar) year. The Spring Festival is commonly known as the "New Year". It is the most solemn and lively ancient traditional festival among Chinese people. It symbolizes unity, prosperity, and places new hope for the future.
According to records, the Chinese people have celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 4,000 years, dating back to Yu and Shun. The festive atmosphere lasts for a month. Before the first day of the first lunar month, there are ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to stoves and ancestors. During the festival, there are ceremonies such as giving New Year's money to children and paying New Year greetings to relatives and friends. The second half of the festival is the Lantern Festival, when the city is full of lanterns and the streets are full of tourists. , the grand occasion is unprecedented. After the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is considered over.
Pounding rice cakes: Every year during the Chinese New Year, it is the time when new year cakes are on the market. Many families have the custom of eating rice cakes during the Spring Festival, taking the auspicious meaning of "higher every year" and "higher every year" and longevity. Starting from the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, almost every family will pound rice cakes.
Rice cake pounding is actually the process of making rice cakes by hand. The main tools are wooden pestle, mortar, wooden steamer, and printing plate. The main procedures are making cake flowers, burning wok nests, beating hammer pillars, and pulling out. Turn the mortar, roll the cake balls, seal the rice cakes... Finally, fold the rice cakes into a neat stack, and the whole rice cake pounding is completed. During this period, the house was filled with fragrance and laughter. The scene was so lively and prosperous that you will never forget it.
Pulling sugar: Pulling sugar is a popular old custom in Shaoxing, and it is said to have originated during the Ming Dynasty. Pulling white sugar requires considerable strength. Generally, the sugar puller scoops up a bucket of snow-white sugar, pours it into the pot, heats and stirs, and the sugar turns into sugar juice. The sugar juice is quickly pulled into a long strip of soft white sugar, which is thick and hot. The candy bar flies up and down in the master's hand, as freely as if it is wound around wool. Finally, it is cut into small pieces and chewed. It is sweet, fragrant, soft, and warm, making your heart warm. .
Wrapping Zongzi: Shaoxing has always had the custom of eating Zongzi. Every household will wrap Zongzi. Especially during the Dragon Boat Festival and Spring Festival, eating Zongzi is one of the traditional customs. Legend has it that Zongzi was originally made after villagers threw Qu Yuan into the river. They were afraid that the fish and shrimps in the river would eat Qu Yuan's body, so they wrapped glutinous rice in bamboo leaves and threw it into the river in order to make Qu Yuan's body intact. Later, in addition to glutinous rice, the rice dumplings were included. Pork, peanuts, salted eggs and other fillings were added to evolve into modern rice dumplings.
Zongzi are usually wrapped with Ruo leaves. The craftsmanship is fine and skilled, and the styles are various, such as axe-shaped, triangular, cylindrical, etc. The tighter the wrapping, the more delicious it will be. Eat and talk about tea. In the old days, Shaoxing people had the custom of "eating and talking about tea" in tea shops.
This is actually a spontaneous folk activity that is widely popular in society and mediates civil disputes. In the old days, tea shops in Shaoxing were spread all over the streets and alleys of urban and rural market towns.
Among them, there are several larger ones with higher layouts, such as the "Shilu" in the Buye Guild Hall in Shaoxing City, the "First Floor" in Baozhu Bridge, etc., tea shops where you can eat and drink tea. Most choose there. In the old society, ordinary people were most afraid of lawsuits. They knew the secret of "open the Yamen toward the south, and don't come in if you have reason or no money." Therefore, if a dispute occurred among ordinary people, they would rather go to a tea shop to have tea.
For tea, both parties involved voluntarily invite a group of neighbors, relatives, friends, and insiders to a certain tea shop. Tea shops in the old days were not only entertainment and resting places for people to drink tea, listen to rap, and chat, but also a place for people to discuss right and wrong, judge right and wrong, mediate disputes, and settle disputes.
When disputes arise between neighbors, neighbors, relatives and friends, such as house sales and leases, land output and output disputes, water conservancy and irrigation rights, forest development, felling, marriage, family division, property division and other disputes, most cases will be resolved according to traditional customs. Let’s settle it in the tea shop. According to the rules, after the "tea guests" invited by both parties have arrived, the "tea doctor" (waiter) will make a bowl of stewed tea in a covered stew bowl for each "tea guest". The "mediator" sitting on the "horse head table" brews a pot of fine "Longjing".
Next, both parties will state in public what happened and their respective reasons, and put forward their opinions on how to deal with the matter. "Tea guests" must firstly base their opinions on the statements of both parties, and secondly, express their own opinions based on the facts they have witnessed or heard with their own eyes, and analyze, judge, and comment on who is right and who is wrong.
We can neither take sides nor defend others' shortcomings. The general layout of Shaoxing tea shops in the old days was that there was always a pair of tables arranged near the front of the shop, commonly known as "horse head tables". As the name suggests, it has the connotation of "horse-headed tables".
Therefore, ordinary tea drinkers would never dare to sit at the horse head table. Those who are qualified to sit must be local celebrities with high seniority, prestige, fairness, respect, and certain prestige and appeal in the local area.
During tea talks, he always plays the role of host, that is, the natural referee. After the "tea guests" expressed their opinions or suggested solutions, the "chief referee" comprehensively elaborated his personal opinions on the horse head table, made a decision on the spot, and decided who was right and wrong, and the final decision was made. Tea drinkers" all expressed their support for the ruling, saying things like "The words of the king of a certain shop will count!"
The party who is in the wrong must be responsible for paying off the tea expenses of all the "tea guests" including the host at the horse head table, which is equivalent to the court paying legal fees. The decision of the "chief referee" will be followed afterwards and no further objections will be allowed.
Generally speaking, this kind of private mediation is often successfully implemented and effective. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some arrogant people who refuse to accept the ruling on the spot, and even make harsh words, hurt others, and get into physical fights.
However, this kind of people cannot compete with the public opinion no matter what, and they will eventually have to admit their mistakes and admit defeat during the second tea lecture to resolve the dispute. This kind of "eating and talking about tea" is a well-established local rule, and public opinion can often trump the government's judgment and has a strong deterrent effect.
It is impossible to find out when the custom of eating and talking about tea in Shaoxing originated. However, according to local unofficial records, there were "cases" where people got into fights over tea drinking at the "First Floor" which was founded in the late Qing Dynasty.
The general theory circulated is that it is related to Shaoxing's master. Because the masters often became quite influential in the local area after returning to their hometowns, and they were often proficient in the law, so eating and talking about tea was most popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties and even in the folk period, which is consistent with the rise and fall of the "Shaoxing masters".
Some people think that after the late Ming Dynasty, the government lost its prestige among the people, but this was a good opportunity for folk mediation to emerge. It seems that this statement is not unreasonable. 7. A 100-word essay on German scenery
German food is not as good as Chinese food, so don’t get it from foreign countries! ! ! ! ! !
Today I want to talk about the food in Shaoxing, because I was born in Shaoxing, the ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River. Shaoxing not only has many scenic spots,
but also its local specialties. Attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists. The main snacks in Shaoxing include Shaoxing old wine, molded dried vegetables, stinky tofu, fennel beans and so on. Speaking of Shaoxing stinky tofu, I thought of the "Wuzifang Stinky Tofu
Shop" in Lu Xun's hometown. I saw the shiny, golden, small and exquisite tofu just coming out of the pot, and everyone was rushing to buy it. I hold a box of stinky tofu in my hand and take a bite. Its taste is really different from other stinky tofu.
Its outer skin is crispy and crispy, but its inside is soft and tender, and fragrant. Coupled with the tempting and delicious sweet noodle sauce, the taste is indescribably good! Fragrance and smell are originally two opposites, but the delicious food of Shaoxing has become a legend.
Shaoxing not only has the extremely smelly stinky tofu, but also the mouth-watering fennel beans. Speaking of fennel beans, I think of Kong Yiji, a poor scholar written by Lu Xun.
He often went to the Xianheng Hotel in the town entrance and spent nine cents to buy a bowl of wine and a plate of fennel beans as snacks. Several children came up to him and asked him for fennel beans. After giving one to each of them, he covered the plate with his hand and said, "I don't have much anymore. I don't have much anymore."
p>
Fennel beans were named after him. People simply called fennel beans "Kong Yiji Fennel Beans", and Xianheng Hotel became famous in one fell swoop. As for the preparation of fennel beans, it mainly uses dry broad beans as raw materials, soaks them in water and puts them into a pot. Cook them over high heat for about 15 minutes, then add fennel, cinnamon, salt, etc., and then simmer over low heat. , wait until the water in the pot is almost dry, then scoop it up and let it cool. Fennel beans are very chewy, salty and fresh when chewed, and have an endless aftertaste. And it is said that fennel beans are very popular with Chinese and foreign tourists. The daily sales of fennel beans in Xianheng Hotel can reach three to four hundred kilograms.
While talking about Kong Yiji, he suddenly seemed to smell the aroma of wine again. Shaoxing’s rice wine is also famous. Shaoxing winemaking has a history of 2,500 years. Shaoxing rice wine is not only one of Shaoxing's famous specialties, but also a representative of Chinese rice wine.
It is one of the eight famous wines in China. It is carefully brewed from Jianhu water that is clear, pure and rich in various minerals through a unique fermentation process. Shaoxing rice wine is famous at home and abroad for its unique flavor and rich nutritional value, and is listed as one of the most popular state banquet wines in Beijing. Shaoxing’s rich wine culture has created a unique local emerging festival, the China Shaoxing Rice Wine Festival. The first China Shaoxing Rice Wine Festival was held in 1990, and has been held basically every year since then and continues to this day.
Next, let’s talk about a traditional dish in Shaoxing—braised pork with molded dried vegetables.
Not only Shaoxing people love to eat it, but outsiders are also happy to taste it. It is said that making this dish takes a lot of effort.
Use a kitchen knife to cut a large square of fat and lean pork belly into several shallow slits, put it into a pot, and stew it over low heat for about half a day; before serving
, cut a small square off the meat and spread it on the bottom. The fresh and tender dried vegetables can be cooked after simmering for half an hour. All local restaurants in Shaoxing regard this dish as a traditional "home dish".
