Read Songjiang again with three "characters in the middle"

My hometown of Songjiang, Shanghai is a big book. When I read her 27 years ago, I read three words: Shanghai Root. Later, when it was seen in the media, it was changed to "Shanghai Root", which is also very good. Today, the "roots of Shanghai" have become the "first business card" of Songjiang, scattered in the streets and alleys of the modern new Songjiang, chewing after every Songjiang person's tea and dinner.

However, how to accurately expound the connotation and extension of the "shanghai root" has become a common question. Over the years, whether I introduce the roots of Shanghai to guests, Songjiang, or listen to others introduce the roots of Shanghai to guests, or others introduce me to the roots of Shanghai, Songjiang, I often have such regrets: either I can't get the point, or I hang up a leak, or I give up my roots to seek the end, or I will zhang guan Li Dai. How to condense a paragraph of text, both concise and concise, but also objective and vivid, so that people can understand and understand songjiang, the root of Shanghai, in a few minutes, has become a concern for me. So I decided to read Matsue again; so I had the following sensual passage:

Songjiang is the root of Shanghai. Songjiang's historical status and contribution in Shanghai, Jiangnan, and China can be compared to the "chinese characters" in the three regional words of "Shanghai", "Jiangnan" and "China".

The first word is the word "mother" in the lower right of "sea" in Shanghai. Songjiang is the "mother" of Shanghai.

As early as 6000 or 7000 years ago, most of the entire Shanghai area was still in the process of alluvial land from west to east, and the ancestors of Shanghai inhabited the large highland of Jiufeng, marked by Songjiang Sheshan Mountain. During the Three Kingdoms of Songjiang, Huating was set up, the Tang Dynasty was a county, and the Yuan Dynasty was promoted. Before the opening of the port of Shanghai, Songjiang Prefecture had jurisdiction over Huating, Lou, Shanghai, Qingpu, Jinshan, Fengxian, Nanhui Seven Counties and Chuansha Hall. It can be said that Songjiang is the "mother and son" who gave birth to the territory of Shanghai.

The second character is the word "¥" (yuán) at the bottom of the "South" of Jiangnan. Songjiang is the "yuan" of Jiangnan.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, Qinglong Port in Huating County was the earliest foreign trade port in Shanghai. In the Ming Dynasty, Songjiang Province became the center of the cotton textile industry in the country, and even in the novel "Golden Bottle Plum", there are plots of merchants selling cotton cloth in Songjiang. Songjiang has won the reputation of "Susong Taxation Jia Tianxia" and "Clothing Under the Heavens", becoming one of the richest areas in Jiangnan. It can be said that Songjiang is a "money bag" that highlights the economic strength of Jiangnan.

The third character is the word "jade" in the middle of China's "country". Songjiang is the "jade" of China.

Jade, from ancient times to the present, is a treasure. Songjiang has always had the reputation of "Jade out of Kungang". Lu Ji's "WenFu" of the Jin Dynasty is the first systematic and complete literary theoretical work in the history of ancient Chinese literary criticism, and his "Ping Fu Ti" is the "ancestral post" of Chinese calligraphy and the treasure of the Town Hall of the Palace Museum. Dong Qichang is a generation of masters in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy. In mid-2017, the head of the United States in the Forbidden City jointly simulated a link in the restoration of cultural relics, "To paint the heart", selected two works by Dong Qichang. The Yunjian School of Books, The School of Painting, the School of Poetry, and the School of Words of Yunjian in Songjiang have had an important impact on the development of literature and art in the country, and still have positive significance. It can be said that Songjiang is the "pen pole" that inherits Chinese culture.

The metaphor of "niang laozi", "money bag" and "pen holder" may be too far-fetched, but I hope that in the most simple way, more people can be familiar with the development history of Shanghai Songjiang from the "mother" character; appreciate the economic contribution of Songjiang in Jiangnan from the "¥" character; and understand the cultural value of China's Songjiang from the "jade" character, so as to understand the tension, strength and charm of Songjiang, the "root of Shanghai".

The above text is a little impression of a local old man when he read Songjiang again.

Today, under the strong leadership of the Songjiang District Committee and the District Government of the COMMUNIST Party of China, the people of Songjiang are striving to build the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in the Yangtze River Delta with global influence, and a modern "science and technology, humanities and ecology" new Songjiang is being displayed in front of us. The history of re-innovation, the wealth of re-innovation, the treasure of re-innovation, the miracle of re-innovation, we are witnesses, we are more participants.

Bless you, Shanghai's roots, Songjiang, my beautiful hometown! (Army)
