Cishan Culture Cishan Culture refers to the culture that started in the late Western Han Dynasty, centered on Hengshan, Guangde County, Anhui Province, and spread throughout the Jianghuai and southeastern coastal areas. It was created in memory of Zhang Bo, the hero of flood control, who cared for the people, defended against disasters, and had the courage to sacrifice his life.

The sacrificial culture in which officials and people prayed together was formed. It was named after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty pardoned Hengshan and named it Ancestral Mountain.

"The Legend of Zhang Bo's Flood Control" is included in the intangible cultural heritage list of Guangde County.

Wu Culture Guangde was a traditional Wu culture area in its early days.

According to the county annals, in the early days of Jian'an, Sun Ce pacified the area east of Xuancheng, and Sun Wu divided the land from Zhang County and established Guangde County.

Although Guangde is located at the end of Wutou and Chu, the district governance is mostly subordinate to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

From the late Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, despite constant wars, Guangde was basically controlled by local forces centered on Yangzhou (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province) and Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province).

The Wu and Southern Tang regimes sent envoys to the ancestral hall of Guangde Temple to offer sacrifices and pray many times.

In the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Guangde Army was renamed Guangde Road, which belonged to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.

In the 16th year of Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Guangde Road into Guangxing Mansion (soon renamed Guangde Mansion), which belonged to Jiangnan Xingzhongshu Province.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Guangxing Prefecture was renamed Guangde Zhili Prefecture.

Therefore, from a geopolitical perspective, early Guangde should be an area where Wu culture was dominant.

The origins of the early Wu culture in the Guangde area can also be glimpsed from the dialect spoken by Wu Nongruan, the indigenous people of Ganxigou, Guangde.

Another factor is the rise and spread of Cishan culture.

Xu Yingqiu's "Yuzhitang Tan Hui" of the Ming Dynasty stated that "thunder's cloth drums, ascending ghost markets, divine debts in the river source hills, and burials in Guangde Temple Mountain are the four differences in the world, and it is not false." It can be seen that the temple

Mountain culture originated from Wuyue, flourished in Guangde, and spread throughout the land of Wuyue.

Cishan culture not only has the typical characteristics of Wu culture, but also is the ultimate development of Wu culture.

Hui culture During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hui culture gradually became the mainstream culture in Guangde: Ancestral halls, which originated in Huizhou, are a high degree of materialization of Huizhou’s humanistic thoughts, the carrier of the feudal patriarchal system, a symbol of ethnic autonomy, and the most basic foundation for Huizhou people.

living environment.

Huizhou's ancestral hall culture, archway culture, and genealogy culture together formed the three pillars supporting the feudal patriarchal autonomy system.

Since the Song Dynasty, Huizhou culture has been brought to Guangde by Huizhou merchants.

With the development of Huizhou merchants in Guangde, the system of patriarchal autonomy was also brought to Guangde. Through the efforts of dozens of generations and hundreds of years, Huizhou culture has evolved in a subtle form through continuous collision and integration with the local culture of Guangde.

From initial mutual exclusion to later mutual tolerance.

After developing into the Ming Dynasty, Hui culture has occupied a dominant position in Guangde area.

From the surviving Fan Clan Ancestral Hall in Dafan Village, Fengqiao, and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall in Shijie Lutang, we can not only get a glimpse of the essence of Huizhou architectural art, but also the materialized form of patriarchal autonomy - the ancestral hall management model.

As a representative of Huizhou architectural art, the survival of the archway in Guangde also reflects the ancient Guangde people's acceptance and belonging to Huizhou culture.

The genealogy culture is similar to the archway. The genealogy of many clan surnames preserved in Guangde also reflects the influence of Hui culture.

Immigrant Culture Modern Guangde culture is essentially a diverse immigrant culture with inclusive characteristics.

In more than half a century from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, Guangde gradually formed a multicultural structure dominated by the Central Plains culture brought by Henan immigrants and the Western Chu culture brought by Hubei immigrants, especially in Guangshan County, Henan Province.

Immigrants are common.

At first, this immigrant culture existed in a relatively closed form, forming a phenomenon of cultural segregation based on villages and towns.

However, after half a century of hard work by two generations, Guangde locals and immigrants from various places have strengthened various cultural exchanges between different religions, customs, education, ethics and morals through marriage, commerce, production and community activities.

.

Through exchanges, various cultures leverage their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and make appropriate choices, thus forming a mutually inclusive immigrant culture with regional characteristics.
