The typical representative of urban culture is Shanghai, which was famous at home and abroad during the late Qing and early Republican period. Taking the most famous newspaper in Shanghai at that time, the Declaration, as an example:
The Free Talk published a large number of novels, essays, poems, folk songs, cartoons, and other literary and artistic works, which, by means of literature and art, educated the general public in the awareness of modernity, broadened their horizons, promoted their analysis of the international situation, their understanding of the domestic situation, their discussion of social issues, and their concern for the livelihood of the people. Through literature and art, these works educate the general public about modernity and broaden their horizons, promote their analysis of the international situation, their understanding of the domestic situation, their discussion of social issues, and their concern for the people's livelihood.
The Declaration, on March 14, 1934, carried a folk song by Chen Lu, "My Sister Sending My Brother Away," which reads in part as follows: "Red pants, green lining, not as good as being a daughter in my mother's family; my mother's family sleeps until breakfast is ready, but my mother-in-law's family can't wait until the rooster crows. The rice in the pot is boiling and the tiles are steaming, and my brother has come for a blind date. I wanted to keep him for dinner, but I asked my in-laws. I sent him to the gate, and he took my brother's hand; I sent him to the fence, and he talked to me; I sent him to the rhombus pond, and the rhombus blossomed; I sent him to the turtle dove's nest, and the turtle dove laughed at me.
Today, Shanghai's urban culture is even more colorful: Shanghai's street is a landscape, a style, but also a culture.
Every street in Shanghai has a story or vicissitudes, or beautiful story; are endowed with the unique flavor of the Shanghai people.
The street in the early morning is for old people. Disco, qigong, tai chi, folk dance, social dance, the laughter of the elderly, **** sound a Shanghai morning. Midsummer night on the street, scattered people sitting in the cool, everywhere came the sound of friendly conversation in Shanghai, Shanghai's summer night is not lonely.
Shanghai has a sycamore full of street, green as a cover of the quiet street - Hengshan Road. more than 400 French sycamore trees have been at least 60 years old, into the 21st century, the roadside has some elegant environment of the teahouse, bar, along the streets of the street guardrail for the smooth lines of decorative art guardrail; pavement paved with red tile; All 112 street lamps are beautifully modeled Roman-style cast iron globe decorative lamps and lanterns, and the street facade is set with European classical oil paintings and impressionist paintings, which is known as "Shanghai's Champs-élysées".
"Shanghai's Wall Street" is the Bund on Zhongshan Dong Yi Road, where there stand 52 lofty and different styles of buildings, like a modern world architecture exposition. The Bund was once the political, financial, commercial and cultural center of the Western powers in Shanghai. Most of the consulates of different countries were concentrated here. The Bund was also the home base of international financial capital in China. In addition, there was the Shanghai General Association, a high-class club for Western businessmen. The buildings on the Bund were never built by the same designer or at the same time, but their architectural color palettes are basically uniform and their overall silhouettes are amazingly harmonious. Whether you are looking at it from afar, or wandering through it, you can feel a kind of robustness, robustness, elegance and nobility of the momentum.
Shanghai Old Street of Chenghuangmiao shows you the scene of "Riverside Scene of Qingming", the sound of hawkers, the ancient streets and alleys, full of the atmosphere of the prosperous town of Jiangnan. You don't have to buy anything to come to the Old Street, but this scene is unique.
Classic buildings, open-air pubs, funky tea houses and quiet cafes make up another street in Shanghai, Yandang Road. Here you can savor the life of Shanghai's urbanites.
The shopping streets are Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road, and the tourist street is Tibet Road. In addition, Fuzhou Road, the cultural street, and Taojiang Road, the street for couples, are also worth a walk. High income and high consumption have become synonymous with Shanghai. So the petit bourgeoisie is also born. Most of the petty capitalism refers to people with cultural cultivation, they are generally highly educated, have received some European and American culture, English may not be great, but the mantra will often clip a few sentences. The economic base of petty capitalism is on the edge of the middle class, higher than the general public. However, it has not yet exceeded the upper limit of the middle class, and the largest number of people are at this edge. Most petty capitalists have relatively stable careers and sources of income.
They can be seen everywhere in the Western-style teahouses along the streets, in a sad and cool cafe in the boulevard, under the lights of a shady bar, in the European-style architectural complexes, and in the modern mansions ....... Decent dress, polite smile, cool and leisurely mind. Especially young women in Shanghai have gradually become the spokesperson of Chinese women's fashion. Their elegant attire, soft accents, and polished faces are covered with extremely material tenderness. All the time they are showing their flavor.
Small capitalists often go to Shanghai's Hengshan Road, Xintiandi and other very representative of the medium and high-end places to spend money, will linger in the coffee shop to taste the beautiful music, will go to the Shanghai Grand Theater or the People's Square museums, but also in the holiday driving their own car and friends and family to go to breathe the fresh air of nature. Shanghai's nightlife is more about fulfilling a psychological need to relieve stress at work or in urban spaces, and forming a buffer zone in public ****ing situations. It is for these reasons that many people on the periphery can be confused by this aimless, idle life, and those in it mostly know little about it; it is a state that is hard to describe, but it is clear that more and more people need it. Thus, nightlife has become a fashion, a flavor, a sign of modern man.
Shanghai at night is a flowing style, a jumping rhythm, a "night city of fire trees and silver flowers". The building's facade lights, outlining the outline of the city, jumping neon lights, embellished the soul of the city, elegant street lamps, is a whispering lover ...... night Shanghai on the Bund, is romantic. The night of the People's Square, Shanghai, is intimate. The night of Hengshan Road, Shanghai, is mysterious. The night of Huaihai Road, Shanghai, is elegant. Nanjing Road, the night Shanghai, is prosperous ...... If you are a stargazer, the Shanghai Grand Theatre's elegant programs, stadium celebrity concerts, major cinemas of the latest films will allow you to catch a glimpse of the fast; if you are a bar, Shanghai can be called "miscellaneous bar", all kinds of bars: Internet cafes, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars, bars. There is nothing strange: Internet bar, pottery bar, cloth bar, arrow bar, toy bar, etc., enough to meet your curiosity; If you and your lover together, Shanghai's various teahouses tea house, cozy bar, roadside coffee bar, and that countless disco, KTV, nightclubs, for you to create a tender and intimate two people world ......
The evening in Shanghai, the sky is clear and the sky is bright, and the sky is the limit. >Shanghai's evenings are bright through and through. In addition to department stores, neighborhoods with tourist or night markets like the Bund and Huaihai Road, there are fast-food restaurants like Sichuan Hot Pot, Shen Ji Liang Soup, McDonald's and KFC, bowling alleys with beauty salons, and 24-hour mini-supermarkets like Rosen. In addition, those who like sports can go to the gymnasium to play ping pong, go bowling and so on. These places are extremely bright, like daytime. We recommend bowling. Bowling was very popular in the first few years, but since 1998 it has been out of fashion, so the cost of bowling has been greatly reduced, and in 2012 it usually costs one to twenty dollars per person to have a good time. The best part of Shanghai's daily nightlife is in the various "bars". BAR is a foreign word for "bar". Beijing's Sanlitun and Shanghai's Hengshan Road are famous for their bars. Every day near dusk, there began the life of clothes and clouds, but also let people feel the loneliness in the clothes and clouds. Bubbling bar, seems to have become a constant entertainment in the city. In the new century, the concept of "bar" has changed into many new and strange ways.
Shanghai's "bar" culture originated from the city's once-flamboyant fashion, when nostalgia has become a common mentality, the flamboyance will gradually filter out the old neon colors, precipitated into the river of years in some of the sinking sand, and from time to time to stir up modern people have been chaotic thoughts.
Bars
There was a newspaper article about 50 reasons to live in Shanghai. The first reason was the bars. There are many bars in Shanghai, as many as there are stars floating in the night sky, in every corner of the city.
Shanghai's bars can be roughly divided into three categories: Wujiaochang in the northeast of the city, near Fudan University, Tongji University and other colleges and universities, there are "Tribesmen", "Black Box", "HardRock", "Singles" and "Lonely Hearts". There are bars with strong campus flavor such as "Tribesman", "Black Box", "HardRock", "Single Noble" and "Sweet hear".

The third category is commercial bars, such as in several hotels in Lujiazui there are such outstanding bars, no matter how big or small, the pursuit of the warm, casual and enjoyable atmosphere of the Western bar.
Unlike other cities, when Shanghainese speak of bars, they also mean cafes, closer to the original meaning of Bar; some bars are simply nightclubs, such as Judies 2 on South Maoming Road.

Of course there are several other very distinctive and chain coffee shops all over the city, such as the Japanese chain coffee shop Manabe on Huating Road near Huaihai Road, which has a variety of fancy coffees to complete your coffee flavor profile.
