Quzhou, Zhejiang is a very good place, known as "Little Tibet in Zhejiang", which is very different from people's gentle impression of Zhejiang.
Quzhou, located at the junction of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui, is the real "thoroughfare of four provinces and the head of five roads".
Quzhou borders Nanping, Fujian in the south, Shangrao and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi in the west, Huangshan in Anhui in the north and Jinhua, Lishui and Hangzhou in the province in the east.
unlike other cities in Zhejiang province, Quzhou is not facing the sea, nor is it in the core area of Shanghai-Hangzhou economic circle. Obviously, it can rely on facial features to eat, but it depends on talent, which is horribly low-key-many people may still be "Quzhou Xuzhou is stupid and unclear".
Her existence is the strength to break people's stereotypes about Zhejiang or all relevant regions.
quzhou has only natural scenery? Naive!
When it comes to Quzhou, many people have a poetic landscape in their minds.
Jianglang Mountain, Xianxia Ancient Road, Tianji Longmen, Sanqu Stone Forest, Longyou Grottoes, Yaowang Mountain Scenic Area, Qianjiangyuan Forest Park ... Quzhou has beautiful landscapes and is full of wild interests that urbanites yearn for.
however, quzhou is not just a online celebrity who strives for beauty, but more like a lady with a profound background. The "two sub-cultures" ("Confucius culture" and "chess piece culture") meet here, and the city is silent.
In addition to the famous Qufu Confucius Temple, another famous Confucius Temple in China is located in Quzhou. "Kong Shi bulk, the world belongs to Zou Lu. The difficulty of Jingkang, a large number of people came to the south, Song and Jin confronted each other, and Confucius began to be divided into two cases. " At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the nomads from the Jin Dynasty invaded south, and Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou crossed south to build their capital in Lin 'an.
Confucius' 48th-generation grandson and third-generation Duke Yansheng Kong Duanyou, bearing the wooden statues of Confucius and his wife, moved south from Qufu, Shandong Province to Quzhou, and established the Confucius Family Temple, known as Nanzong. Quzhou is also called "the second holy land" by Kong.
Gutian Mountain National Nature Reserve, with lush forests and well-developed natural secondary forests, is known as "Xing 'an Mountains in western Zhejiang". Photo/vision china, as one of the only two Confucian temples in China, has undergone three relocations and three constructions. Now, the Confucius Temple in Quzhou is located in Xinqiao Street in the center of Quzhou, which is connected in series with Confucius Cultural Park (Fushan Park), China Confucianism Museum and Quzhou Museum, drawing the core circle of Quzhou Confucian culture.
Confucian culture has influenced Quzhou, while Gushe Academy has spread all over the city, and the cultural blood of farming and reading has been passed down from generation to generation. Qingyang Village at the foot of Jianglang Mountain is the birthplace of Mao Shi in the south of the Yangtze River and the hometown of Mao Zishui, a master of Chinese studies. There have been 8 Shangshu and 83 Jinshi in history, which is a veritable "Jinshi Village".
If you want to explore the "chess piece culture", you can't miss the "Go Holy Land"-Lankeshan. Weiqi originated in China, and its roots are in Lankeshan.
According to a cloud in the Notes on Water Classics written by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, in the Jin Dynasty, a woodcutter named Wang went to Shishi Mountain to cut wood. When he saw two boys playing Go, he sat by and watched.
At the end of the game, the boy said to him, your axe handle is rotten. When Wang Qiao returned to the village, he realized that decades had passed. Later generations called Shishi Mountain rotten Ke Mountain, and took rotten Ke as another name for Go.
Since p>26, the "Quzhou Lanke Cup China Weiqi Championship" will be held every two years here, and all kinds of Weiqi experts gather at the foot of Lanke, where they can compare the level and score a constantly updated "Lanke Map".
The picture shows Ding Guanpeng's rotten Ke Xian. Figure/Yachang Auction In addition to the landmark buildings of "two sub-cultures", Quzhou people have already integrated the history and culture of their hometown into a breath and turned it into a part of daily life.
Quzhou people who have lived here for thousands of years have used wisdom, ingenuity and sweat to make their hometown a "hometown of China specialties" rich in famous things such as root carving, kaihua paper and Jiangshan Xiyan. Longyou business gang is famous all over the world for its broad mind.
Standing on Beimen Street, the smart and fresh Huizhou architecture and the old street of Qingshiban Road are loaded with old scenery and ancient legends. People in the old Quzhou make a pot of tea, play mahjong and talk about their families, just like the old street-peaceful and vivid, comfortable and orderly.
Walking to the intersection at the south end, you can see the bell tower in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, where the story of the one-horned ghost, one of the three monsters in Quzhou, happened.
Pu Songling wrote in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio: "Zhang Zhanzhong joined Rong Quzhou and said,' When Quzhou is quiet at night, people dare not walk alone. There is a ghost in the bell tower, with a corner on its head, which looks hideous and evil, and it will be heard when people walk. People run away in horror, and ghosts go away. But when you see it, you get sick, and there are many dead people. " "Stepping on the bell tower, you can have a panoramic view of the old town of Quzhou. Looking down to the north is the ancient North Gate Street, and looking west is the symbol of Quzhou's regional historical context-Shuitingmen Gate Tower.
As the most completely preserved online celebrity block in Quzhou, Shuitingmen Ancient Block has preserved three streets and seven lanes, temples, ancestral halls, guildhalls, towers, historical sites, patches of traditional houses, as well as emerging creative restaurants and shops. Tradition and fashion coexist, and it is a "museum without walls".
"The Heavenly King Pagoda comes first, then Quzhou City". As soon as we approached the Tianwang Tower at the entrance of Shuiting Gate, the whole block could hear the bell on the tower ringing with the wind, worrying about the homesickness of Quzhou people.
In addition, the Tianhou Palace, Zhao Bian Temple, Dayuanhao Qianzhuang, King Xuanling Temple of Zhou, the drop point of germ warfare, and the ancient city wall ... The relics of various periods and types are like different sections of history, carefully embedded in the texture of the city, and pieced together a cultural map about Quzhou.
Wenzhou dialect is the most difficult to understand? Naive!
If Quzhou always makes people feel a little mysterious, it should come from her dialect filter.
as the thoroughfare of the four provinces, Quzhou has a special geographical position and has experienced wars, stationing troops and emigration in history, so its dialects are very complicated and diverse under the influence of northern Wu dialect, southern Anhui Hui dialect, Jiangxi Gan dialect and northern Fujian Jianzhou dialect.
There are not only Quzhou dialect, Kecheng dialect, Qujiang dialect and Longyou dialect, but also Kaihua county, Changshan county and Jiangshan city.
There are subdivisions in various places-Ke Cheng is divided into urban areas and suburbs; Qu County is divided into Danan Township, Xiaonan Township, Xixiang Township and Beixiang Township. Longyou is also divided into county towns, south townships and north townships. Speak Quzhou dialect in Gaojia Town, Qujiang District, and Longyou dialect in Shangfang Town; There are many Jiangshan immigrants in Xiaonanmen Village, Quzhou City, and the elderly also speak Jiangshan dialect. Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua.
Among them, one dialect is more difficult to understand than Wenzhou dialect. That's the Jiangshan dialect in Quzhou. Known as "the key to the southwest of Zhejiang", Jiangshan nianbadu, a cultural enclave, not only has diverse architectural styles, but also has outstanding dialects. There are 14 dialects in the town alone.
Jiangshan dialect, which appears frequently in the "Top Ten Most Difficult Dialects in China" all the year round, is rich in vocabulary and expressive, and retains a large number of medieval Chinese in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
"Listening to Jiangshan dialect is like listening to a heavenly book", and no matter whether the pure Jiangshan dialect makes outsiders feel that they are on the wrong planet, even if a little Jiangshan accent is mixed into Mandarin, it often makes people listen to it in a fog.
Dialect is difficult to understand, although it will affect external communication, but it is particularly convenient for "internal communication" and strengthen centripetal force. Because of this, Jiangshan dialect became the secret language of the military in the treacherous era, and at the same time, it also helped Dai Li become the "agent king".
At that time, Jiangshan dialect became the primary working language in the confidential department of the Military Bureau. After all, there are four ways to say "kill him" in Jiangshan dialect-"help, er, curl up", "help, er, scorn", "help, er, wrap up" and "help, er, skim over".
bao an xiang, Jiangshan City, is only a few tens of kilometers away from Pucheng County, Fujian Province. On the outside, it is just an ordinary house with white walls and tiles. If there is no logo set up after renovation, it is really difficult for people to connect with Dai Li, which was once famous in power.
There are many organs in the former residence. You can hide hidden weapons and set up an ambush. The most famous one is the spiral escape secret passage, which is behind the closet and curtain. It is not easy to detect, and only one person can pass sideways.
people in Zhejiang don't eat spicy food? Naive!
In everyone's impression, people in Zhejiang don't eat spicy food. However, Quzhou people are an exception-"spicy, hemp and salty" is the favorite of Quzhou people and the flavor of Quzhou cuisine. In Quzhou, in addition to the regular Chili sauce in every family, even the light Japanese food has to be improved-"special spicy oil fried udon noodles", which is hot to think about.
"The rabbit's head eats the brain, the duck's head sucks the bone, and the duck's paw eats the skin". In Quzhou, almost every family sells "three heads and one palm" (rabbit head, duck head, fish head and duck palm), and each family has its own unique secret recipe. The "three heads and one palm" made of pepper, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, wolfberry fruit, Chinese medicine and other auxiliary materials is full of color, flavor and flavor, which is the strength of Quzhou nightingale stall.
No rabbit can jump out of Quzhou alive.
among the "three heads" in quzhou, rabbit head is the earliest and the most famous one. Authentic Quzhou people's eyes glow when they see the rabbit's head-after sucking the red and hot oil on the rabbit's head, they use chopsticks to break off the soft and rotten cheek meat on both sides and send it straight to their mouths. The burning taste rushes from the tip of the tongue to the throat, leaving a tingle between the lips and teeth, which is addictive.
As for duck head and duck's paw, most of them are soft and crisp, and they are very tasty. The first couple thought it was ok, and when half a duck's head was chewed up, the spicy stamina slowly came up, and they sucked hard and sometimes sucked out two peppers. And duck's paw soup, mixed with a little Friedvermicelli and a spoonful of pepper, is authentic Quzhou flavor.
Another delicious food that I have to mention is Quzhou scones.
a city of quzhou, half of which bakes cakes. In Quzhou, eating scones is by no means the privilege of breakfast, and many people in Quzhou list it as a kind of snacks for drinking wine. Even the goddess Zhou Xun, who was interviewed by her hometown TV station more than 2 years ago, mentioned-"I especially miss the spring onion cake in our hometown". This snack, which can be seen everywhere in the streets and lanes of Quzhou, is cheap and good, and there is no lack of attention when making it.
I saw the scone chef pick up a small piece of dough, knead it twice, and fly it under the rolling pin, which turned into a thin piece of dough. Then, put a spoonful of stuffing on the dough and pour it into the pot where the onion is placed.
Then uniformly close and flatten, sprinkle a handful of fragrant sesame seeds, then coat the surface of the cake with a layer of water, then press it into a pancake shape, and stick the cakes on the high-temperature inner wall of the oven one by one with lightning speed. After about two or three minutes, the scones in the furnace will slowly turn brown, accompanied by a sound of "zi-",and the oil will splash and the scones will be baked.
take a bite lightly, and the crispy and fragrant dough is mixed with delicate meat stuffing, fresh chopped green onion, sesame seeds, pickled mustard tuber and dried plum, and just the right fat oil juice seeps out of the bread and flows on the tip of the tongue, which is fragrant but not greasy, crisp outside and tender inside, spicy and refreshing.
Although scones can be divided into spicy, slightly spicy and non-spicy flavors, for Quzhou people who love spicy, spicy is the soul of scones. Of course, the food in Quzhou will never stop there. The rolling Xianxia Mountains and the clear and sweet source of Qianjiang River provide Quzhou people with abundant Shan Ye ingredients and a variety of seafood, and at the same time, they also have delicious genes flowing in their blood.
The real food in Quzhou is always accompanied by a strong market flavor. Whether it is Kaihua Qingsi, Longyou Hair Cake, Shuangqiao Dried Powder, Dachen Hemp Seed, Bulao Shenji, Changshan Gongmian, Jiangshan Rice Cake and nianbadu Tongluo Cake, they are all accompanied by the memory of the taste buds of this city for thousands of years, which is full of human feelings and makes people want to stop. The nightlife of Quzhou people is inseparable from midnight snack.
Lotus East, Rende Road, Baihui Road, Nanhu Food City, Rainbow No.8 Courtyard, Bajiaolou, Mazhandi and Shenjia Zhenxing Middle Road. Scones with left hand, duck head with right hand, crystal cake, pig tongue, stir-fried snails with cold beer.
It's the way to open the midnight snack of "the guy eats the ghost" in Quzhou.
Just like the straightforward Quzhou people, most of them are outspoken and easy to "choke people with spicy taste" in words, but they dare to speak and do, and they are very loyal, which is somewhat valuable at present. In recent years, Quzhou, which has long been regarded as the "economic depression of Zhejiang Province", can be described as a constant stream of good news-formally joining the Hangzhou metropolitan area, the construction of the Hangzhou-Quzhou high-speed railway, the cooperation between mountains and seas, and mutual assistance to win.
Ali, Netease and other industries settled in, and the first cross-administrative entrepreneurial park in Zhejiang was born here, and the cultural enclave became an "innovation enclave", and high-end talents came to the fore; New landmarks have sprung up, characteristic towns have blossomed everywhere, and online celebrity cuisine, a magic capital that was out of reach, has gradually become the daily life of Quzhou people.
At the same time, more and more people in Quzhou are facing demolition, leaving the old street and old house where they grew up, and have to adapt to soaring prices.
People in Quzhou who are used to the "slow city" rhythm are gradually beginning to feel the pressure of life brought by the rapid development of the city. But for Quzhou people who are full of aura and have seen the world, the rapid development of their hometown now is just to pick up the brilliance of the past.
