What does white represent in Chu culture? In Chu culture, white represents the representative crystallization of northern Central Plains culture and southern Chu culture in the pre-Qin period of China!
Which place in Hubei Province best represents Chu culture? There are many, the most concentrated one is Chucheng in East Lake, and there are provincial museums, where there are classic Chu cultures.
The historical origin of Chu culture The Chu people are closely related to the Huaxia clan in the Central Plains. The ancestors of Chu people came from the Central Plains, and they were one of the Chinese people who moved south. They brought the advanced elements of Chinese civilization to Chu, and gradually developed Chu culture, especially Ji, on the basis of Shang and Zhou civilizations in the Central Plains. As far as reunification is concerned, Chu was sealed off in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty and naturally accepted the rule. Moreover, the physical data also show that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the personality characteristics of Chu civilization were not clear, and they still retained considerable characteristics of Central Plains civilization. It was only after the Spring and Autumn Period that a mature and unique culture was gradually formed, which was different from Ji and other regional civilizations in the Central Plains. The initial rise of Chu civilization, like other civilizations, should also have corresponding elements of civilization, so we can examine the approximate time of the rise of Chu civilization. From the time when Chu hunted bears to the time when Xiong Yi was sealed, all the documents recorded that Chu lived in Danyang (now Xichuan County, Henan Province) instead of Du Danyang, and there was no corresponding archaeological data to prove it. At that time, Danyang was just a place name, not a capital city, and there was no urban organizational system, and large ceremonial buildings had not yet been discovered. Bronzes suspected of being made or decomposed by Chu are not only found in archaeological excavations, but also in handed down works, not to mention words. At this time, Chu was "founded in Jingshan, and the road is blue", which shows that productivity is low and its production relationship can only be formed on the basis of simple blood relationship. Chu's social form is natural and primitive. Xiong Yi's seal was the beginning of Chu's founding. The historical facts between his five male canals are unknown, and there is no clear archaeological data to use. It seems that even if the State of Chu is founded, it may not really enter the era of civilization in the strict sense. But in Xiong Qu, Chu expanded for the first time, which should reflect the great growth of Chu's economic and military strength, and bronze weapons should be widely used. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, there were a few bronzes in the tomb of Zhaojiahu in Dangyang, Hubei Province, and a few bronzes were handed down from generation to generation, which showed the rise of Chu bronze smelting and casting industry from one side. During this period, a small number of sites suspected of Chuncheng were discovered. Moreover, the social form of Chu has undergone fundamental changes, completing the transition from clan society to class society. Xiongyi Culture Avenue is located in Paifang Bay in the south of Baokang County, Hubei Province. It starts from Tumen Sancha Road in the south, ends at Fengyin Yanzui in the north, ends at the red line of the road in the east and ends at Qingxi River in the west. Along the way, 10 street attractions and two early Chu culture squares will be built, which will be integrated with the completed Chu culture relief corridor to form a 10 km Chu culture landscape belt along the Qingxi River. Qi Ming Square, Chengshui Yuqiao and Chu Yuan Fengtai will be built on Xiongyi Culture Avenue. Baokang is one of the cradles of Chu culture. Chu has a history of more than 800 years, and it has been in Baokang for more than 350 years. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage. According to historical records, Xiong Yi is a descendant of a branch of Zhu Rong family. Zhou Chengwang era, Xiong Yi was named Chu Jun, giving "Zinan" land. Therefore, Baokang Avenue along the river is named after Xiong Yi, which means that the essence of "Jingshan Chu Yuan is the early stage of Chu culture" is integrated into it, and the Chu people who led the tribe to "open up the mountains" with their ancestors Xiong Yi are persevering, pioneering, innovative, hard-working and pioneering. In the early and middle period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the territory of Chu State was very small, which was mainly influenced by Wen Ming of Ji Zhou in the Central Plains. Therefore, the cultural outlook of the areas ruled by Chu people is close to the style of Wen Ming, Ji Zhou in the Central Plains. At that time, although Chu civilization was in its infancy, its personality characteristics had already begun to breed. At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, with the beginning of the first military expansion, Chu people had the opportunity to further contact with the peripheral barbarian culture. The blending of Chinese civilization and barbarian culture made Chu people not only inherit Chinese civilization, namely Ji Zhou and Wen Ming, but also transform it according to the gradually formed self-consciousness. Chu civilization was originally produced in this process of adhering to the main source and eclecticism, which can last until the early Spring and Autumn Period. It is also in the special multi-ethnic environment and survival consciousness that the diversified characteristics and distinctive personality of the late Chu civilization were laid. In Chu culture and art, we can often feel a series of mysterious and eccentric image combinations, such as staghorn crane, tiger phoenix, the mixture of man and god in lacquer painting, dragon and phoenix in embroidery, and multi-tone in bronze ware. This is the cultural spirit of Chu people, who "know the world alone". The flow and growth of flowers give people a free and vivid imagination. Chu is rich in beautiful women with thin waist. Chu culture and technology: A large number of bronzes, jades and lacquerware were unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Houyi in Suizhou, Hubei Province, with rich artistic categories and complete shapes. Among them, the process of copper plate casting by lost wax method is wonderful and is known as the "peak of pre-Qin"; The patent leather suitcase is marked "... >>"
No matter whether Zhuangzi is the representative of Chu culture or Yellow River culture, it should still be considered as the Yellow River, Zhuangzi is the Song State, which is basically north of the Yangtze River with its capital in Henan.
Chuci is an important representative of Chu culture, and the main feature of its literary style is the characteristics of which words are used to write Chuci. Huang of Song Dynasty concluded in the Preface to the Correction of Chuci: "All songs of Gai and Song are written in Chu language, and Chu sounds are made, Chu places are remembered, and Chu objects are named, which can be described as' Chuci'." This statement is correct. In addition, the historical legends, fairy tales, customs and habits, artistic techniques and rich lyric styles involved in the works of Qu and Song in Chu Ci all have distinct Chu culture colors. These are the basic features of Chu Ci and an important part of Chu culture that complements the Central Plains culture. Stylistic features of Chu Ci. 1. Poetic style, grandiose arrangement and rich imagination are the common characteristics of Chu Ci. For example, Li Sao is full of absurd imagination, and the true feelings are repeatedly expressed. 2. Stylistically, compared with The Book of Songs, the length of The Songs of Chu has greatly increased, and the sentence pattern has changed from four characters to unlimited and uneven. 3. As far as language is concerned, Chu dialect is mostly used in Songs of Chu, and there are a large number of dialect words in Chu. In addition, "xi" and "some" as function words have also become a distinctive symbol of Chu Ci.
Explore the mysteries of Chu culture. Chu culture is a symbol of mysterious imagination.
As the representative of farming civilization in China, Chu culture contains the most primitive worship of China people. The mystery of Chu culture is embodied in the ancient totem art. The ancient people of China used their imagination to combine farming with ancestor worship and created totem culture belonging to all clans. There are mainly totem symbols such as phoenix and rooster. Through totem art, people's most primitive consciousness of blessing and sacrifice is conveyed. The rich imagination of Chu culture is also reflected in people's love and pursuit of literature and art. Bronze smelting in China reached its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and people showed rich imagination on paper, bronzes, pottery and lacquerware, thus achieving the prosperity of Chu culture painting, bronzes, pottery and lacquerware.
What brilliant achievements have ancient Chu culture made? Eight characteristics of Jingchu culture Jingchu culture is an important part of Chinese national culture. It has a long history, extensive and profound, distinctive regional characteristics and great economic and cultural development value.
Jingchu culture, as a culture with distinctive regional characteristics, can be summarized into eight series:
1, Shennong culture in Yan Di. Suizhou, Gucheng and Shennongjia in Hubei Province are the main activity areas of Shennong in Yan Di, and there are many folk cultural sites. Yandi Shennong tasted herbs all over the world here, cured diseases for the people, invented agriculture and taught people to farm. Its profound historical and cultural heritage marks the transition of Chinese civilization from fishing and hunting era to farming era.
Comrade Pei Gaocai introduced an article entitled "New Archaeological Discovery in Panlong, Too Big Mountains in Shang Dynasty, Rewriting the History of Building an Ancient City in China" in the 4th edition of the Development Report of Digging the Yangtze River (1996 04 10). Experts and professors from Hubei Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology have studied and sorted out the site of Panlongcheng and its historical materials for 20 years, and come to the conclusion that Panlongcheng in Shang Dynasty is known as the first ancient city in southern China. "... pushed the history of Wuhan city forward for two thousand years. ..... rewrote the history of' Shang culture is no better than Dabie Mountain' ... ".
According to the article, Panlongcheng was discovered during the flood control in 1954 and was excavated on a large scale in the 1970s. Up to now, more than 2,000 cultural relics have been excavated, among which dozens of cultural relics such as bronze tripod, bronze tripod and jade brother are rare treasures, ranking among the oldest cultural relics in China today. ..... has amazed experts and scholars in more than 30 countries and regions. Chinese and foreign experts said that the disk
Longcheng is the largest, earliest and best preserved ancient city of Shang Dynasty in China. It is a cultural treasure of ancient South China, a treasure house of cultural relics in Jianghan and a rare specimen for studying the ancient city of China.
According to the article, the east-west length of Panlongcheng site is 2 100 meters, the north-south width is 1800 meters, and the central area is1100000 square meters. It has eight historical sites, including ancient city ruins, ancient palaces, ancient city walls, ancient workshops and ancient tombs ... Among the two palaces that have been excavated, one has four rooms, surrounded by cloisters, and the other is a large space hall. These two palaces, with the imperial palace in front and the imperial palace in the back, were places for holding sacrifices, registering orders, listening to politics, establishing a career, forming alliances and other state affairs at that time, and were symbols of state power. At the same time, the surrounding workshops, brewing, pottery making, smelting and other industries were very developed, which was the political, economic and cultural center at that time.
According to the recent appraisal by the Institute of Archaeology, Panlong City was built in Erligang period of Shang Dynasty and abandoned in the first phase of Yin Ruins, which lasted for 250 to 300 years. The site of Panlong Ancient City is separated from Wuhan by a river. ..... For ancient rivers, the Han River flowed into the intersection of the Yangtze River!
The above report in Changjiang Development News is undoubtedly the latest evidence of the proposition of "Hanjiang River-the mother river of the Chinese nation". First, it strongly proves that China's history of building a city is a precedent by the Han River, which breaks the unified understanding of "Building an Ancient City in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period" in the history circle. Second, dozens of "the oldest cultural relics in China today" and cultural relics representing Hanshui culture have been unearthed on the banks of Hanshui River. In the Hanshui River Basin of Shang Dynasty, there was "the largest and earliest ancient city discovered in China so far". Thirdly, from the historical fact that it rewrote the history of "Shang culture is no more than Dabie Mountain" and pushed the history of China's city construction from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Shang Dynasty, it was exactly explained whether "Shang culture passed Dabie Mountain" or "the influence of Chinese culture created Shang culture", which is a new topic that needs to be rewritten urgently.
The seventh edition of Hubei Daily reported on May 3 1 996: "Jingzhou is the birthplace of Chu culture ... Chu culture occupies a very important position in the history of world civilization ... According to incomplete statistics, nearly 300 scholars at home and abroad have come to Jingzhou to study the metallurgy, textile, literature, art, music and dance of Chu culture in recent years. Experts believe that the achievements of Chu culture, including copper and iron smelting and casting technology, painting and painting technology, silk processing technology, Taoist philosophy, Chu ci prose and music and dance, all reached the world leading level at that time. Mrs. Rosen, curator of the British Museum, said, "Chu culture represents the strong vitality of the Chinese nation. The material civilization created by Chu culture is even more amazing: the first malleable cast iron in the world; The world's first high-density spun silk with 0/70 filaments per square centimeter/kloc; The world's first bodiless painted lacquer ware; The world's first crossbow capable of continuously firing 20 arrows, the world's first foldable big bed ... The essence of Chu culture is not only cast in the hearts of Chu people's descendants, but also become the treasure of the Chinese nation ... >>
The Mystery of Chu Culture (Continued)
Chu is a national name as well as a national name. Chu people think that Zhuan Xu Di Levin is their ancestor, Lao Tong and Zhu Rong are distant ancestors, and Gou is the ancestor. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xiong Yi was the monarch of the State of Chu. In 223 BC, the State of Chu was destroyed by the State of Qin, and it was founded about 800 years ago. Chu culture is an ancient culture in the Yangtze River valley. From the Spring and Autumn Period (770-475 BC) to the middle and early Warring States Period (475-22 BC1), the State of Chu declined at the end of the Warring States Period. The development of Chu art lasted about 500 years from the 8th century BC to the 3rd century BC.
Chu bronzes are an important part of China bronze civilization. Chu owns copper mines such as Tonglushan in Daye, and has reached a fairly high level in mining, smelting and casting. The sword of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and the spear of Fu Cha, the king of Wu were unearthed from the Chu tomb.
Archaeological findings confirmed that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the silk weaving technology of Chu reached a fairly high level. There are many kinds of silk embroidery in Chu State, with exquisite patterns and bright colors. The patterns are mainly rare birds and animals, and the images of dragons and phoenixes are the most abundant, graceful and graceful, magnificent and mysterious.
The customs of Chu are different from those of other countries in the Central Plains. Chu people worship witches and believe in ghosts, and inspire gods with songs and music. Colorful phoenix, bird, dragon and snake constitute the decorative theme of Chu utensils.
Chu reached the peak of spiritual civilization in the pre-Qin period in philosophy, literature and art. Philosophy, represented by Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy, is an important spiritual connotation in constructing China culture. Chu literature, represented by Qu Yuan's poems and Zhuangzi's essays, is the source of romanticism in China's literature. The extraordinary imagination and creativity of Chu people have made brilliant achievements in many artistic categories, especially in music, dance, painting and sculpture (Chu culture exhibition).
As far as I know about the 300-word Chu Ci of Chu culture, it is in Chu language with flexible sentence patterns. Times and creators. During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan. Li Sao, the representative work, has a romantic style, which is the same as that of Li Bai in Tang Dynasty.
Famous sentence: I take a long breath and hide my tears, lamenting the hardships of people's lives. There is a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down.
