When I traveled abroad, my friends knew that I was from Cangzhou, and they always said: "Cangzhou ah, know, Lin Chong sent place. Either ask: you Cangzhou is not particularly inhospitable? If not, why would Lin Chong be sent there?
I told them that I had searched through the history and the wild history, and I could not find a single record that Cangzhou had been a place of exile in any dynasty. As for Lin Chong's banishment to Cangzhou, it is purely a fiction. But this top "unwarranted" hat, psychological reality has become a historical reality. Unbelievable is a lot of Cangzhou people themselves are not clear about this, every time with outsiders say: we Cangzhou you know it, is Lin Chong sent with that place!
A city is misinterpreted, its historical destiny is often distorted and even changed. In fact, Cangzhou's fame, should not be because of that false Lin teach head, it is really the capital of humanities, is a place of celebrities.
Cangzhou should be an attractive city, its charm lies in its deep cultural deposits.
People who like to read the Book of Poetry seldom think of the relationship between the Book of Poetry and Cangzhou, unaware of the fact that Cangzhou is exactly where the Book of Poetry originated. If Dr. Mao Chang, a Han doctor, had not opened a museum here to teach the Book of Poetry, then this poetic canon, which is known as the treasure of world literature, would have been annihilated forever in the ashes of the Qin fire. You probably wouldn't have thought that Han Ying, the author of Han Shi Wai Chuan, an important biography of the Classic of Poetry, was also a native of Cangzhou.
Folks who like Tang poetry can naturally recite the poems of Liu Changqing, known as the "Great Wall of Five Words," and Gao Shi, the border poet, both of whom were bright constellations that shone in the Tang literary starry sky and originally rose from Cangzhou's land. People who like Song lyrics will not be unfamiliar with the song "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the end of the Yangtze River", but you would never have thought that the author of the song, Li Zhiyi, was also from Cangzhou. Ma Zhiyuan, one of the four great masters of the Yuan dynasty, is a name that cannot be erased from the history of literature, and his song "Tianjingsha" is familiar to everyone, and this Ma Zhiyuan has been proved to be a native of Cangzhou. If there was no Cangzhou man Ji Xiaolan, it might not have been possible to have the 79,000-volume "Siku Quanshu", which has been called "the Great Wall of China's cultural history", and the "Notes on the Study of Cao Tang", which has been regarded as "the two great masterpieces" alongside "Liaozhai Zhiyi". ...... Contemporary writers Wang Meng, Jiang Zilong, philosopher Zhang Dainian ...... are the pride of this land. Not long ago Cangzhou Institute of Literature drew the country's first literary map --- "Cangzhou Literary Map", that listed from the Western Zhou Dynasty to contemporary literary masters have more than four hundred, but also marked in the history of Chinese literature has had a great impact on the country's literary celebrities, many of them have occurred with Cangzhou literature on the relationship. The name of Cangzhou is also indicated. Zhang Heng wrote his famous poems such as "Four Sorrowful Poems" and "Returning to the Field Fugue" when he was the minister of Hetao, and Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian, and Su Shi, all of them have left their words related to Cangzhou.
Cangzhou is misinterpreted second, but also because it is the world-famous home of martial arts. The Book of Han" recorded a name Gong Sui's governor, because of the rule of Cangzhou, put forward a "sell the knife back to the calf" of the decree and the history of its martial arts blazing and long history. Cangzhou out of some martial arts masters are really good, such as Huo Yuanjia, such as the big knife Wang Wu, jack Wang Wang Wang Zi Ping, and had been the director of the Nanjing National Art Museum Zhang Jiang and so on. Historically, there has been "dart not shouting Cang" said, so some do not understand Cangzhou friends think Cangzhou people are very rude, love to dance knife stick. In fact, martial arts is also a cultural form, Cangzhou people all over the world, chivalry, but Cangzhou people are by no means rude and reckless, with a real Cangzhou people to interact with, as far as possible to the life of the family entrusted. Because Cangzhou people hang their hearts outside their chests.
Cangzhou's cultural structure is not a single, Cangzhou has four dialect areas, the southern and eastern part of the Chinese official language system sub-Lu dialect area, the central part of the local dialect area, the northern part of the sub-dialect area of Tianjin, the western part of the North China official language system JiZhong TuTong group, according to the four dialect areas also formed the shape of the cultural plate is not quite the same. A longitudinal Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, both a north-south transportation artery is also a cultural transmission belt, so that the geo-culture of Cangzhou earlier accepted the advanced cultural immersion, at the same time, the fusion of the marine culture and inland plains culture, Qilu culture and Yanzhao culture convergence, and the formation of Cangzhou humanities personality in the most prominent factors.
Perhaps, in this materialized consumer era, Cangzhou people character is a bit "outdated".
Once there was a Cangzhou man, in Lanzhou train station encountered a frozen feet, penniless Wenzhou young people, he resolutely in the station square crawling around the back of the stranger, back on the train, and this back has been sent to his hometown thousands of kilometers away from Wenzhou. To Wenzhou, even the youth's family are not willing to accept him, and the Cangzhou man carried him into the hospital, for his medical expenses. Later, he simply saved people to the end, and took the young man with amputated limbs from Wenzhou back to his hometown of Huanghua, and helped him open a clothing tailoring store to earn a living. This incident has caused a great fluctuation in the country, and thus triggered the deep thinking of human relations in the commodity era. And when a reporter asked the Cangzhou man named Zhang Junling why he did so, he simply said: I am a Cangzhou man. It seems that this sense of moral righteousness is inherent with the people of Cangzhou, it melts in the bone marrow of the people of Cangzhou, in the blood.
The people of Cangzhou are pragmatic, and the idiom of "seeking truth from facts" originated in Cangzhou. A foreign friend who is particularly willing to make friends with Cangzhou people summarizes the characteristics of Cangzhou people, saying that the advantages of Cangzhou people are "real" and the disadvantages are "silly real". It seems that in this materialized era, Cangzhou people's character is a bit out of place, but I do not know, it is also because of this character, so that Cangzhou people have benefited a lot.
It goes without saying that this piece of land in Cangzhou is barren, especially in the eastern part of the area, a large area of saline and alkaline land, reed reed even the sky of the big grass puddle so that there are a few points of the old age of the bleak, but the people here have been living from generation to generation, happy and down-to-earth. Every day, there is always a flute and suona to comfort the sunset on the plains, they had been excellent ninja, their strength to endure suffering for many years has always moved me. The arts born on this bleak land take on the nature of the land. For example, the Cangzhou Wooden Drums (from which the Jingyun Drums originated) and the Huanghua Fishing Drums are the "sacred songs" of this great land! That kind of wildness and simplicity can immediately bring you into their world. I once sat on a dilapidated wooden boat in the dusk of a sunset, listening to an eighty-year-old fisherman singing fishing drums, hoarse and desolate "three plucked air" fishing drums sung from his toothless mouth, is so stirring: "drop life ah good hard, people are that the sunshine of the mixed water fish, the wave beat The wave pushed to fight for a breath of ......" to his accompaniment only the feet of the surging waves and the whistling sea breeze, listening to me in tears, that scene can not be forgotten for a long time.
