In 1937, Ye Xiangjiang was born in an ordinary family at No. 46, Shigongmiao Lane, Jiaojiang, Taizhou, and his father, Ye Wengui, was engaged in accounting work. Mother Tao Sanmei, a housewife, knows many folk tales and songs, and in Ye Xiangjiang's childhood, she learned many stories and songs from her parents.

He also has a younger sister named Ye Chengfei, which can be seen from the names of the two brothers and sisters of "Xiangjiang" and "Chengfei", and the Ye family is quite cultured.

Since the author and Mr. Ye Xiangjiang have not intersected, the data comes from the oral accounts of his family and combined with the works of Tao Daixue, so the article appears slightly shorter, but the photos in this article are very precious, and on these group photos, they are all the most famous cultural figures today: Wang Ji, Lou Zumin, Qian Guodan, Wang Dexin, Chen Zhichao, Chen Zhiqing, Zhao Guoyu, Zhou Huiping, Tao Dihua, Dai Jianli, Jin Lixin, etc.

Therefore, I would like to thank Mr. Ye Xiangjiang and his family for leaving these precious moments for the cultural circle of Jiaojiang. At the same time, it also calls for attention to the collation and storage of family archives, in those casual old photos, it records a wonderful moment of history!

Mo Dao has no local culture, and carefully explores the world!
