From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Three Kingdoms, Hanzhong is undoubtedly a rich and colorful stroke in history! This is inextricably linked to her unique geographical location and generous natural conditions. The majestic Han River from the Hanzhong Basin: easy to defend, difficult to attack, transportation hub, rich in products, sitting here, it is difficult to think of being rich, it is no wonder that people there like to eat and drink, and the ease of life can be comparable to chengdu with the same natural conditions, which also produces a cultural phenomenon of diversity and tolerance.
However, as China's economic center shifted south, Hanzhong's former geographical advantages also limited its development. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the impact of Western civilization, Hanzhong still continued the customs and customs of marrying Weng and his daughter-in-law, brothers marrying sisters-in-law, etc., but there were also fashionable women wearing sunglasses, perming hair, and carrying leather bags, and women with three inches of golden lotus, And Buddhism, Consistent Taoism, Catholicism and Islam coexisted.
If you understand the past, you can better understand the social and cultural phenomena in the current Hanzhong.

Hanzhong, who has been longing for a long time, finally met, she is such a smart and middle-aged person with the characteristics of ancient and modern synthesis, and she is so earnest to tell me about her superior situation and way of life every day, as of today, listening to her story has been more than a year, however, my feeling is still novel, until now, I am still confused by her story!

Map of the situation in the Hanzhong Basin
Hanzhong - leaning on the Qinling Mountains in the north, the Beiba Mountains in the south, the Longshu in the west, and the Jingxiang in the east, is a large basin in the Hanshui River Basin, located on the edge of the Central China Belt, with a mild and rainy climate and fertile soil. Recently, because of the development of water conservancy, convenient irrigation, and more abundant products. Geographically, she enjoys the superior conditions of nature, and compared with other places in Shaanxi, she can be described as a unique darling. Therefore, Han Gaozu used it to become an emperor and create a situation of cloth clothes; Liu Bei used it to cut down the Central Plains, and it had the potential to sweep the world.

Although the products here are abundant, but the traffic is blocked, like a big girl, living in a deep boudoir, in addition to only knowing how to enjoy, everything in the outside world is ignored. Unexpectedly, the devil's guns and bombs destroyed her good dreams, and the refugees from various provinces fled into this boudoir, and the adulterous merchants and lepers also mixed in, and the glamorous rays came into being, and from then on, she was disturbed and could no longer sleep, rubbing her eyes, opening the embroidered curtains, and looking at the world outside the cabinet. Yikes! Strange neon lights, foreign goods in the glass windows under the electric light, cosmetics, all kinds of velvet brocade, dazzling, dazzling, coupled with the obscene shadow song and dance music on the radio, she was simply confused.
Since then, she has stepped out of the ancient dream and entered the dream of the red wine and drunken gold fans, and ignored the refugees lying upright under the front window of the steps, hungry and cold, tossing and turning and moaning. Now, the refugees are almost gone, although there are still bandits in northeast China, but she is still happy to enjoy peace, and her life is even more eroded. If she had lost her foot in the glass dream, the future would have been even more unimaginable.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the ancient style of the family</h1>
There are many ancient buildings in the city, such as tall ancient towers, deep courtyards, and palace-style temples. The green and yellow glass tiles and porcelain on the room are still there, and the carved beams and pillars and the double-headed mast in front of the door still exist. The other houses are small, and the streets are very narrow, although they were once sorted out by General Zhu Shaozhou, they are now only allowed to open to traffic. However, the vermilion paint portal is the same from home to family. As for the Western-style buildings, there are too few, of which the Catholic Church should be represented, if you come from afar, ten miles away, you can see it towering into the clouds, and dilute your ancient Hanzhong concept.

There are many idle people here, it seems that compared with the mercurial Rongcheng - Chengdu, there is more than enough, anyway, in addition to their wandering streets, or catching meetings, riding bicycles on the park square is indeed lively. Every time the audience is more than 100 people, they all talk and laugh, like watching a circus, and the feelings of biàn (happy) are full of joy.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two different portrayals of life</h1>
Hanzhong society has two completely different phenomena, which is enough to prove that she is a loyal and filial son of an alternate society, and the occasion of the competition between the old and the new.
First, if the age is used as a criterion to divide the old and new of society, then most of the women after the age of 30 are three inches of golden lotus, and the brown breaker still has the ancient style. But wearing long clothes (cheongsam), can be called a reorganization, more grease powder lipstick, perm thrush leather bag, as well as watches with bracelets and earrings, as well as gum wide-brimmed sunglasses, etc., they also like to smoke paper cigarettes, play mahjong, dye nails, some learn to sing Peking opera, every time they watch, always make people sick.

Girls before the age of 25, only the clothes of female students are quite interesting. Most of their dresses are men's uniforms (not three-piece bags, single-collar school uniforms), the tops are short enough to see the elbows and arms, over the waist is as thick as a yellow bucket, the bell is hanging down; the bottoms are short over the knees, and the big ones are like skirts, plus they are not tall, walking like a bucket, which is very impressive. Maybe they were influenced by the uniforms worn by the students in the war zone and changed it to become more liberating, but unfortunately, others were diligent and hardworking, but they did not learn it.
However, there are also unforgettable girls in the countryside, who wear short brown, their hair is tied with red threads, and they wear safflower shoes, looking at their simple and tame appearance, which is quite calm.
Second, if they are divided by region, when they are old and new, people in the countryside who are middle-aged and older have a large bundle of hair behind the top of their heads, and it is obvious that they are prepared to wear braids; most of the clothes they wear are short brown. Of course, there are also many buckles, many of which are limited to young people. People in the city wore foreign cloth robes and button-down sweat coats or Zhongshan shirts, and the headdress was more Westernized.

Zhao Zhao - This is the biggest feature of hanzhong society to preserve the ancient style. Here, the parents of the girls do not allow their daughters to marry foreigners, so they have to recruit money, and the man marries into the woman's family, takes her surname, inherits her family property, and provides for her parents-in-law and aunts- Therefore, under this ancient marriage system, many girls' marriages are arranged by their parents, and they have no choice, so naturally they cannot talk about a happy couple life.
As a result, they tend to take the road of stealing, which has become popular after years of habits. Therefore, the foreigners here often have a few popular rumors:
"There are four treasures in Han, straw pigs and pigs don't run, stone walls don't fall, dogs don't bite in the middle of the night, girls steal people, her mother says 'wonderful'!"

According to people who have lived here for a long time, there is a custom here, and Weng and his daughter-in-law are called blind dates. When the brother dies, the brother bows his head twice to the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law becomes a wife; when the brother dies, the brother makes a gesture to the sister-in-law and becomes a husband and wife. Hey! Customs like this are really rare.
I remember that when Yang County Governor first came here to take office, he proposed two major policies: (1) rectification, and (2) smoking ban. Since then, the field at the corner of the city has been added to the post, and the city wall is no longer allowed to walk, so the air raid shelter on the city wall is no longer for tourists to shelter from the wind and rain. As for the ban on smoking, the efforts of the local authorities have been fruitful and commendable.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > playful meeting</h1>
There are so many gods that I am afraid that I will be among the best in central and southern China, and usually the way of worshiping gods is expanded to hold the Arima Living Society, the Cow King Society, the Fire God Society, the Guanyin Society, and the Guansheng Society.
First, line incense. Many children, dressed in a splendid back hanging with red flowers and two-petaled skirts, wear flower hats decorated with crown jewels, which are shaped like circles. The face is painted red and white (such as when holding the meeting, there are ghosts and goblins with various flower color faces), holding a stick of incense in hand, or holding a lacquered wooden plate with sandalwood incense, the posture is very dull and solemn, when they are marching on the street, they drag the tone in their mouths, singing "Nan Wu" or divine songs, etc., the flag □ drum umbrella in front of the road, and carry a god in the back, or a large candle and other sacrifices, after that, followed by a group of laymen who are young and old, it seems that this line is solemn and magnificent. Sometimes I also trek for dozens of miles to go to Xiaonanhai, Tiantai Mountain, etc., which is really fun.
Second, sing Qin cavity. It was a necessary program at every meeting, and it was so widely spread that it had to be held in the countryside. At this time, the people who sell snacks and tea and wine are lucky, whether it is a dry year or a disaster period, the people who rush to the meeting are still very crowded, and the liveliness of the situation is simply talking and laughing, happy and forgetful.
Third, play with dragon lights. In June, there is also a play of color dragons, and the name is called Taiping Colored Dragon, which is also a ritual to sacrifice gods, and I don't know which kind of god is dedicated to sacrifice.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the origin of religion</h1>
Religion, there are many popular people in Hanzhong, all have thousands of believers, such as Islam, Catholicism, inland society, Christian society, true Jesus religion, Huangjing altar, consistent Tao, witchcraft (Duangong, witchcraft), etc., of which because of witchcraft and huangjing altar, believers are the most common. There is an altar in Zhougong Lane in the city, the incense candles are brilliant all day long, the door is like a city, and there are often many wives and ladies, good men and women who ask for deification charms here. As for the popularity of the consistent Tao, it is even more surprising that even the principals of middle schools and many primary school teachers have also joined in, and its flame has the potential to sweep through southern Shaanxi. Fortunately, the government authorities, because of their political suspicions, strictly prohibited, are now depressed.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > non-growing popularity</h1>
I remembered that during the busy season of farming this summer, I went to the countryside to watch the farmers plant seedlings, walked along the road to Chenggu, passed a village market, and many villagers drank and drank here, so I asked strangely: "Why don't you go to plant seedlings?" They looked at me with a sneer after listening to it and ignored me anymore, which was something I was very suspicious of. Later, I asked an older man, and he said, "We planted the seedlings yesterday, and it will be two days before we go!" ”
I am very worried about them, at this time, what will happen to life? Therefore, I kindly suggested to them: "There is not much time for farming in a year, and now you take advantage of the time to do a little more, save a few more money, and then it is better to drink and play again?" At this time, someone said, "It doesn't matter, I am like this every year, or I still haven't starved to death" and "Four or two liquors again, call it so much." It can be seen from this that the average Hanzhong people, how they do not grow ah!
