"How 'cool' is it to have a Zhuji friend?"
Thank you. Answer: "Capable of writing and martial arts, loyalty and righteousness, hard verification is a daily routine, 'violent temper' and 'small and thick' are more responsible." ”

Zhuji, the only city in Zhejiang that has not been abandoned since the Qin Dynasty, not only has the blood of Jiangnan Water Town, but also the gathering place of heroes and heroes.
More than 2,000 years ago, the first of China's four beauties was born here- the beautiful Xi Shi who sacrificed herself for the country; more than 2,000 years later, when the country was trying to save the country, the title of "General County of the Republic of China" was once again a hit, and among the Zhejiang students of the Whampoa Military Academy, nearly one-third of the generals came out of Zhuji.

When Yiwu became a world-class small commodity center, wenzhou businessman Xiti Universe's most entrepreneurial group, Zhuji also produced 80% of China's pearls, 70% of hardware pipes, 60% of incense, and has the country's largest national flag printing and dyeing factory.

If this is the case with living people, one side should make a difference in water and soil. From the founding of the yue kingdom to the seventh year of the succession of Gou Jian, Zhuji in the hinterland of the Woju Huiji Mountain was the ancient capital of the Yue Kingdom in 1568. Although the ambition to dominate the crowd arose, Gou Jian moved the capital to the vast plains and founded the city of Shaoxing (Shaoxing was a territory of Zhuji during the Spring and Autumn Period). However, "the more hometown name" has always been engraved in the blood of Zhuji people.
Before the five drainages of mountains and rivers, the talented son Tang Bohu praised the flow of qushui by borrowing "there is samadhi in the world, and the original view of the immortal source is different"; on the Dongbai Mountain, the "poetry Buddha" Wang Wei used the phrase "a male perch is too white, and the wind smoke is high." Birds come far from grammar, guests go more peacefully Zen"Lyric forest deep cloud scenery.

"Yu to Dayue, shangmiao mountain to the princes of the great collection ... Princes, and also", Zhuji, this hard-core Jiangnan city, is the gathering place of the world's capable people.

If the Chinese Poetry Conference had been held in ancient times, Zhujiren would have been one of the most popular players to win the championship.
Once, more than 400 literati and inkers sprinkled ink on the "Road of Tang Poetry in Eastern Zhejiang", leaving behind the rich and divine afterglow of half of the Tang Dynasty. Located in a prestigious cultural corridor, Zhuji has been the "storm center" of poetry since ancient times.
▲ The "Zhejiang Eastern Tang Poetry Road" proposed in the 1990s did not include Zhuji, and under the rational evidence of local literati and foreign sages, in August 2020, Zhejiang Province issued an official document recognizing Zhuji as an integral part of it. In May this year, "The Road of Tang Poetry Zhuji - Zhuji Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" will be published soon. Cartography/monk
The eastern Zhejiang belt bounded by the Qiantang River was once the core area of the seven counties of Yuezhou, and the Tang Dynasty divided the seven counties into three levels according to historical influence, of which Zhuji, with the "Juyi in eastern Zhejiang, Wuyue Tongqu", sat firmly in the first echelon.
The so-called "Juyi" is inseparable from the deep roots of the ancient Yue culture buried in the long river. The "Water Commentary on Zhejiang Water" once recorded: "In the Yue King Dudai (pì), in Zhuji".

In 2058 BC, the Xia Dynasty was enfeoffed at Huiji Mountain and founded the State of Yue, and in the following thousands of years, the State of Yue successively established capitals in Pizhong, Most of the Province, and Jurassic in Zhuji.

The monarch did not hesitate to follow the customs of the countryside and lived with the ancestors of the ancient Yue, continuing the splendid agricultural achievements of the Hemudu civilization period. Today, the birthplace of ancient civilization around Zhuji Subwu still retains a large number of kiln sites and Yue porcelain.
Historically, Zhuji also represented Zhejiang and first appeared in historical records. "In the twenty-fourth year of King Cheng of Zhou, Yu Yue (yue people call themselves) guests", at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the first time the emissaries of the Yue State went to the Central Plains to pay tribute to the Western Zhou Dynasty and establish a relationship between kings and subjects, it was from Zhuji.

The so-called "Wuyue Key Land" points to the waterways and land routes of Tang Dynasty poets entering eastern Zhejiang, or the casual journey of local literati, and often passes through Zhuji, a land of mountains and rivers: from the intersection of the two major hills in southeast Zhejiang and northwest Zhejiang, the river valley basin stretches in the middle, and the Puyang River, known as the "Little Yellow River", breaks south and north, seeing all the good scenery.

Tang Dynasty poets who were looking for mountains and water took a boat in the Qiantang River, in addition to traveling to the lively Zhejiang East Canal, they also followed the Puyang River, in this journey, there were Luo Binwang's "thin smoke across the roof, light freezing and astringent back to the turbulence", Li Bai's "Peach and Plum New Opening Ancient Cha, Calamus Short Out of Pingsha", and also stored Tang Bohu's "Nine Curves Cangsong Hanging House Corner, Five-Fold Flying Waterfall Falling in the Long Sky" five-vent scenery...
Shusheng Wang Xizhi has wandered many times at the foot of the Ramadan Mountain and the banks of the Huansha River, and carved a sentiment on the stone wall. Fan Zhongyan, who was a descendant of the famous Xiang Fan Li (lǐ), inscribed the poem "Cui Feng Gao and White Clouds Idle, My Ancestors Once Lived among The Water and Stones" to send the ancestral sages family style.

Known as the "Little Wild Goose Dang", the Wuqi Scenic Area has paved a large number of famous works for Zhuji. A turbulent stream hangs between the cliffs and ravines of Qishan Mountain, folded into five different wonders: at the beginning, like the "moon cage light yarn", the gentle mountain rock is still entangled with soft water, until the majestic green mountains open a dangerous road between the clouds and deep fog, and the gushing spring water is no longer ghostly, and the momentum of "one husband is closed, ten thousand people can not open" rushes down, flying to the Flat River.

In the Tang Dynasty, the senior monks of Tiantai Mountain came to Wuqiu and opened the door of the Zen Temple. Zhu Jiren, who founded the Great Zen Sect (Cao Dong Sect), became a monk here when he was a child. At this point, this landscape painting with a winding path and green bamboo is covered with green bamboo, and there is another fairy wind Dao bone, and the relics are independent.
If Zhuji is a brilliant star in the "Road of Eastern Zhejiang Tang Poetry", then DongbaiShan, known as the "Geographical Roof of Zhejiang", is a masterpiece on the "Road of Zhuji Tang Poetry". The so-called "Dongbai" is carved into three points at the summit of the famous mountain in Zhejiang, which looks like its name.

As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong, who was known as "Xiao Xian Weng", listed this mountain as a must-enter famous mountain for "ancient Daoists and cooperative divine medicines" in the "Baopuzi Inner Chapter".
When the poet Wang Wei was roaming in Wuyue, he also stayed on the Dongbai Mountain, "the cave house hides deep bamboo, and the night smells of the remote spring." Xiang is in the clouds, in front of the pillow", a few lines of poetry, but the end of this leisurely state of mind that makes people feel like "white clouds and dogs" and wants to "float a big white".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > have a Zhuji friend, how "cool" is it? </h1>
When friends from other places arrive in Zhuji, if they hear a sentence from the locals, "You are more zhuji than Zhuji people", then congratulations, this can be counted as a supreme evaluation. This one, which does not have flowery rhetoric and only regards "Zhuji people" as a hardcore praise for the standard of measurement, is quite a bit of the local people's bluntness and frankness.

Before the Warring States, the ancient Yue kingdom, including Zhuji, lived in a remote area, and was born with a bit of "brute force". Then, as a corner of Jiangnan, the southern and northern fusion of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties and the southward migration of the Song Dynasty triggered by the "Jingkang Change" laid the foundation of the northern bloodline here.
In the Zhuji Gazetteer, many villages originated from the epoch-making population migration. Relying on economic strength and social status to move south efficiently, the imperial relatives and high-ranking officials were the first to become the "new generation" of Jiangnan people.

This group of scholars, who are not lacking in literati and sages, laid a solid foundation for the cultural tradition of "cultivating and reading heirlooms", "emphasizing Confucianism and light commerce", and even the reputation of Zhuji as a "college entrance examination county".
Originating from the Shou family in the Spring and Autumn Period, after the Jin people attacked Beijing (present-day Kaifeng), they moved to Jiangnan with Emperor Gaozong of Song and were enfeoffed in Zhuji for their meritorious escort.
Among his descendants, there is Shou Jingwu, a Traditional Chinese studies teacher in the Sanwei Bookstore, "a first-class people's hero in East China", Shou Zhigao... The distant ancestors of celebrities such as Cai Yuanpei and Zhou Enlai also had indissoluble relations with Zhuji, and it was not until the Yuan And Ming Dynasties that they relocated to Shaoxing Shanyin and Zhoujiaqiao.

This "spark of stars" from the north once spread all over the vast southern land, but only in Zhuji formed a strong and strong unique folk style. Among them, it is natural that the scenery of mountains and rivers that are rigid and soft is indispensable, which has a subtle influence on the locals.
Located at the junction of the three counties, the "Peak of Huiji" Dongbai Mountain, leaving the most dangerous and steep side to Zhuji, between the clouds and the sea, its main peak Taibai Peak stands tall in the midst of the mountains; the Gou Cheng Mountain at the junction with Yiwu is the capital of the two generations of monarchs of Yue Wang Yun chang and Gou Jian father and son, and is a veritable "King's Mountain";

The Puyang River, which runs through the north and south, is known as the "Little Yellow River", passing through the alluvial plains densely packed with rivers and lakes, with rain in summer and typhoons in autumn, and finally becoming untamed under the pressure of the tides of the Qiantang River.

The so-called "Zhuji Lake field is ripe, the world arrives at the porridge" is not a metaphor for the land of fish and rice rich in rice grain, but refers to the low-lying lake field just like a pot of porridge when floods occur frequently. Even the gentle Huansha Xi has Xi Shi and Zheng Dan behind two iron-boned female Haojie.

In this kind of mountain and lake, Zhuji people, who grew up listening to heroic legends, gradually formed a character style of daring to fight and dare to break through, and exploded with huge energy during the War of Resistance.
Zhuji, known as the "General County of the Republic of China" (Zhuji was a county in the Republic of China), gave birth to a large number of outstanding generals from the Huangpu Military Academy, the Zhejiang Wubei Academy, and the Baoding Military Academy, such as Feng Shengfa, who was "one of the Chinese who killed the most Japanese Kou", Jiang Zungui (guī), the elder of the Xinhai Revolution, and the famous anti-Japanese generals Xuanxia Father and Jiang Zhiying.
Although in the 1980s, Zhuji missed a good opportunity to develop a small commodity market, Zhuji people, who adhered to the spirit of "what is the big deal" and "big deal..." soon put forward the economic strategy of "four wheels turning together and thousands of households to double" in 1984.

Today, in Zhuji, only one Datang street produces one-third of the world's socks; Shanxiahu Town, near the "Little Cave Court" Baita Lake, is the world's largest freshwater pearl production and marketing center; and the fragrant forest on the mountain also dominates China's largest fragrant wood production base with an annual output of up to 1,000 tons...

The Zhuji people, who are jokingly called "Mutuo", just like a local proverb "stone slabs throw turtles on the ground - hard to shoot hard", in the face of their own "one acre and three points of land", they have solidified their "rectal-like" nature, both bold and stubborn; at present, they are not afraid of sacrifice and are strong and unyielding; although they also have their own "small unity", when they "meet their confidants", they are more willing to use a warm blood as a "righteous" platform, generously helping each other, and fighting for fate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="142" > "Jiangnan First Carbon City", how fragrant is it? </h1>
Zhuji people with a bold personality, incarnated as "dry rice people", naturally also have to live a "big eating" mouth addiction. Unlike the ingenuity and ingenuity of Jiangnan elsewhere, in Zhuji, all the food is full of energy: noodles are jumped up and down on wooden sticks; rice cakes are made as skins, wrapped in "tough guy" onion oil cakes; (ma jian) steamed buns are most like "Northern Shaanxi flower buns", braised pork made of a heart inside...
Sub-dock noodles | Gangnam's first "battle surface"
People who do noodles in the second dock were first sitting "fighting", sitting on a bamboo pole with a master, palms pressing their feet to "take the helm", and the noodles that came out were also called "sitting pole noodles". Later, "sit-and-play" was changed to "hand-beaten", the bamboo stick that stood up was higher than a person, and the uninterrupted "clicking sound" was knocked into the soft dough, and after thousands of hammers, a chewy "noodle beating" was born.

Stir-fry the lard in a hot pot, sprinkle a handful of snow lily, winter shoot slices and shredded pork, stir-fry with the soft noodles on the outside and the inside, and serve in a semi-dry and semi-wet state.

Snow vegetables and minced meat, blanched with golden and pale powder, are piled up on a small hill on the white noodles soaked with soup, and chopsticks are mixed, and the fresh fragrance that emerges from the heat immediately enters the nose.

Zhuji people love to eat noodles, and even many townships have their own noodle masterpieces, from grass tower bullet noodles, Maple Bridge eel noodles, to Ma Jian suo noodles, Anwar fish noodles, Jiangzao fried noodles, each bowl hides a unique flavor of "piping hot life".
Vine soup, sugar straw, ash soup dumplings | The iron-boned tenderness of the carbon water world
The only people who can make soft sticky rice cakes into the shape of a big Shaanxi sandwich bun are probably only Zhuji people who are strong and soft. In Caota Town, the big white dumplings that had just come out of the oven were still exhaling hot air, and they were pulled out of a corner and pasted into the palm of their hands, becoming a round cake. With a scallion oil cake in between each of them, mixed with pork and shredded carrots, it is the zuò (rice cake) that the locals have passed down by word of mouth.

Adhering to the foodie concept of "everything can be wrapped", Zhuji people poured a spoonful of rice milk in a boiling pot, and after condensation, wrapped in pickle tofu, it was a fragrant vine soup roll; repeatedly squeezed the glutinous rice balls at the bottom of the stone mortar, pinched out a small piece of fried sesame seeds and kneaded it, and then kissed the soybean flour, and the sticky sticky mochi mixed with bean flavor was born.

The glutinous rice soaked in grass and wood ash is soaked in alkaline "ash soup" very softly, turning into a full "small golden bean", and when cooked, it is a long and fragrant ash soup dumpling.

Another kind of pastry called sugar straw, with water milled flour as the outer skin, embedded in the fine crisp red beans, untied steaming lid, one by one like a thick filling sandwich, soft and delicious, "summer sweetheart" is not a waste of time.

Of course, if you want to mention the soft intestines like water, no one can beat the famous Xishi tofu. The local chicken broth is laid on the base, shiitake mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, Kaiyang sits, and then the thick juice is locked with sweet potato flour, and the delicious tofu soup with strength does not need the assistance of any spice.
Carb with meat | The more you eat, the more you have
Zhuji people who eat fragrant "carbohydrate" have not forgotten to spoil the most hardcore meat. In Caota Town, the feast is not decent without a plate of white-cut lamb, and the cold winter is not complete without lamb bone soup. The lamb soup is the most suitable when the meat and bone are separated, the chopsticks are slightly pocketed inside, and the tender and juicy lamb floats up, falling in the mouth with an indescribable warm fragrance.

In the south, in the towns of Anhua and Lingbei, a bowl of beef soup made of yellow beef and a short-legged chicken massaged with salt have become the tip of the locals' hearts.

Zhuji people, who looked up and drank wine, took a big bite of meat, and the steamed noodles did not leave their hands, ate the "heroic" into their stomachs, and after the wine and food were full, they took this boldness and bread through the fearless life.
