Culture of Guangde County

"The legend of Zhang Bo ruling the water", was included in the Guangde County intangible cultural heritage list.

Wu Culture

Early Guangde was a traditional Wu culture area. According to the county records, at the beginning of Jian'an, Sun Ce pacified the area east of Xuancheng, and Wu set up Guangde County by dividing the land of the former Place County. Although Guangde is located at the head of Wu and the tail of Chu, the district is mostly under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Guangde was basically under the control of local forces centered in Yangzhou (present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province) and Jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), despite the constant wars and turmoil. The Wu and Southern Tang regimes had sent envoys to the ancestral hall of Guangde's ancestral temple on many occasions to offer prayers.

In the 14th year of Yuan Zhizheng, Guangde Army was changed to Guangde Road, which belonged to Jiangzhe Xingzhongshu Province. In the 16th year of Yuan Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Guangde Road to Guangxingfu (soon renamed Guangdefu), belonging to Jiangnan Xingzhongshu Province. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Guangxingfu was changed to Guangde Zhili Prefecture. Therefore, from the geopolitical point of view, the early Guangde should be the area where Wu culture dominated. The origin of the early Wu culture in Guangde can also be seen in the Wu Nong dialect of the natives of Ganxigou in Guangde. Another factor is the rise and spread of the Zishan culture.

Ming Dynasty Xu Yingqiu "Yu Zhitang talk Aloe" said "Lei's cloth drum, Deng's ghost market, the Divine debt of Heyuan Diqiu, Guangde Zishan's buried, it is called the world's four different, non-delusional rumors also." It can be seen, the ancestral mountain culture from Wuyue, flourished in Guangde, and spread in the land of Wuyue. Ancestral mountain culture, both with the typical characteristics of Wu culture, but also the development of Wu culture is an extreme.

Hui Culture

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hui Culture gradually became the mainstream culture of Guangde:

Ancestral halls, which began in Huizhou, are the high materialization of humanistic thoughts in Huizhou, the carrier of feudal patriarchal system, the symbol of clan right and autonomy, and the most basic habitat of Huizhou people. The ancestral hall culture of Huizhou, together with the pagoda culture and genealogy culture, formed the three pillars supporting the feudal patriarchal system of autonomy. Since the Song Dynasty, Huizhou culture was brought into Guangde by Huizhou merchants. With the development of Huizhou merchants in Guangde, the patriarchal autonomy system was also brought to Guangde. Through the efforts of dozens of generations and hundreds of years, the Huizhou culture, in the form of subtle influence, through the continuous impact and fusion with the local culture of Guangde, from the initial mutual exclusion to the later mutual tolerance. After the development of the Ming Dynasty, Hui culture has dominated the Guangde area. From the surviving Fan Clan Ancestral Hall of Fengqiao Da Fan Village and the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall of Oath Festival Lutang, we can not only see the essence of Huizhou architectural art, but also the physical form of patriarchal autonomy - the management mode of the ancestral hall.

Pai Fang, as a representative of the Huizhou school of architectural art, has survived in Guangde, which also reflects the acceptance and belonging to the Huizhou culture of the ancient Guangde people from one side.

The genealogical culture is similar to that of the pagodas, and the genealogies of the many clans and surnames that have been preserved in Guangde also reflect the influential role of Hui culture.

Immigrant Culture

Modern Guangde culture is essentially a diverse immigrant culture, characterized by inclusiveness. In the half-century between the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Guangde gradually formed a multicultural structure dominated by the Central Plains culture brought by immigrants from Henan Province and the West Chu culture brought by immigrants from Hubei Province, with immigrants from Guangshan County in Henan Province being the most numerous.

At first, this immigrant culture existed in a relatively closed form, forming a cultural cut-off phenomenon based on villages and towns. However, after half a century of efforts by two generations, the natives of Guangde and immigrants from all over the world have strengthened various cultural exchanges between different religions, customs, education, ethics and morals through marriage, trade, production and community activities. Through the exchanges, various cultures have been able to promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and have taken the best of what they have to offer, thus forming a mutually tolerant immigrant culture with regional characteristics.
