"March 3, September 9, nothing to go to the river," which is the most Jianghu flavor I have heard of the Wuhan ballad.
This is Hanzheng Street, an old grandfather over ninety years old told me.
In this regard, quite interested, then, Hankou Jiangtan Pier Cultural Square to go.
Hankou Gangtan Pier Culture Square is located at the entrance of Cai'e Road is also the Pearl Hawthorne Hotel opposite the Yuehan Pier door, which has a bas-relief, bronze statues, this place is the pier culture square. Wuhan's rise, inseparable from the pier, Wuhan's culture, a large part of the source from the pier.
Wuhan rose because of the water, according to the water and the prosperity of the unique natural and human environment has created the cultural spirit and bones of Wuhan dock. Dock Culture Square, the most intuitive is that a bronze statue comes to life.

Dockside Cultural Plaza condenses Wuhan's thousands of years of development into a single bas-relief that shows the pulse of the city's development before visitors' eyes. before the eyes of visitors, the vein of the city's development at a glance.
"Wuhan" is a word that every Wuhaner is fond of, and it must have been very prosperous at that time. I can't help but look back and reflect on history. Nowadays, the words "break into the dock, fight the dock" are extremely strange to us. But I think in the past few hundred years, the dock here must have been staged every day gangs, bloody wind, since a piece of rivers and lakes.
In the "Hankou Bamboo Tree Lyrics" describes "dozens of miles of people, thousands of families" "stone filled streets and soil filled slopes, eight piers near a river" "the sound of the city towards the noise, smoke day and night all night" "ten miles of streets, the earth filled slope, eight piers near a river. "Ten miles of masts stand by the city, and ten thousand lights are on all night long." I think gangs from all over the country, merchants, pickers, chambers of commerce, guilds, foreigners, young men and women, bookkeepers, workers and so on gathered here. They talked and laughed with bare shoulders, smoked, drank tea, and did business. By the way, there might be ladies in cheongsams hurrying by, parting lovers, gentlemen with suitcases, and hawkers, just like the show on the Zhiyin. I think this is what the old man called "hitting the pier"!
Hankou Rise & nine provinces through-street monument said: Ming Chenghua years (1465 - 1487), due to the diversion of the Han River, the original a swampy Hankou silt into a "ze country boat for the city, into the home of the bamboo building up" of the emerging trade port city. Hankou was a new commercial harbor city. The end of the Ming Dynasty war once made Hankou into ruins, but two or three decades later, and quickly recovered, became "ten miles of masts according to the city stand, ten thousand lights all night bright" of the night port. Monument said: the Qing Kangxi years (1662 - 1722), the Qing court stipulated that Hankou for the two lakes region of the Huai salt distribution port, so that it has "salt matters, but also enough to the world's" reputation, "nine states department store of the The port of distribution of Huai salt in the Lake area made it famous as "the salt matter is also good enough in the world" and "the place where the department stores of the nine states are gathered". During the Qianlong period (1736 - 1795), Hankou has developed into "dozens of miles of population, thousands of households, dozens of stores, tens of millions of ships, the nine continents of the great towns have to let" the heyday of the "nine provinces" called "thoroughfare". The city was known as "the thoroughfare of nine provinces".
Wuchang anti-smoking monument said: around 1838, Wuhan officials and nobles, the civilian population smoking opium into the wind, then to Wuchang on the Governor of Hubei and Guangxi Lin Zexu rose up, proposed on "discussing the strict prohibition of opium charter folding", and then immediately built in Han anti-smoking bureau, the development of local regulations, the start of the anti-smoking, effective, and open the national anti-smoking campaign precedent.
Hankou opening of the monument said: in 1863, Hankou officially opened before and after the opening of the Western powers more than ten countries hundreds of merchants came one after another, one after another to divide the city's land, demarcation of boundaries, the opening of foreign banks, factories, banks, and in the Yangtze River waters and the land of the city to build wharves, repair warehouses, set up routes in order to control the market in Wuhan to the Mainland to loot the resources to the Port of Wuhan has suddenly changed to semi-colonial ports.
The rise of modern industry monument said: 1889, Zhang Zhidong transferred to the Governor of Hunan and Guangdong, Wuhan, organized a number of modern military and civilian industries: Hanyang Iron Works, Hubei Gun Factory. The establishment of weaving, spinning, reeling, hemp-making four bureaus, and preparation for the railroad, the promotion of postal services, the development of telecommunications, Wuhan industrial modernization characteristics of the formation of the foundation.
The Yangtze River in the roaring monument said: January 3, 1927, in order to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition, Hankou people from all walks of life in the vicinity of the Jianghan Pass rally, by the British imperialist sailors force suppression, seamen workers, a death on the spot, the dock members of the trade unions of a serious injury, the masses of people were injured in more than thirty people. 5, Wuhan from all walks of life of hundreds of thousands of people braved the rain in the demonstrations along the river avenue to take back the British Concession.
Throughout the ages, I have been y in awe of these "gold diggers" in Wuhan for their courageous, aggressive, tolerant and open-minded spirit. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter how old or young you are, as long as you dare to fight and do, I believe you will be able to make a name for yourself and settle down in Wuhan.
After the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of land transport, air transport, dock transportation gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Some people say that Wuhan dock culture is too heavy fire, Wuhan dialect is rude, don't have a kind of jianghu ruthlessness. In this cultural diversification today, some people are also thinking about the Jing Chu culture is inherited or forgotten. Wuhan dock economy and culture has come to an end, waiting for us is the high quality and high speed development of the modern economic system. Seniors dare to fight and shed blood, my generation should also be self-improvement, the pier of the jianghu no longer exists, but "hit the pier" spirit will lead my generation of young people to revitalize the "Wuhan".
