Yu Xichang's culture and schools of painting and calligraphy inherited the schools of painting and calligraphy in Tokyo (now Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty, Jinling in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yangzhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Cao Shi Jiabao is the treasure of Yu Xichang Town and a national treasure! Starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, starting from Cao Bin, Renbu and Zhu Gong, it has continued to this day. Inherited to any post, (anti-Qing leader), Gong, Cao Xingguo Gong, Li Tonggong, Ren Huanwen Gong and Zhang Xinguo Gong. In modern times, Ren Bensheng raised the banner of Yuxi Painting and Calligraphy School for more than half a century, and peaches and plums spread all over five continents. Mr. Jiang Guanxiong raised the banner in the painting and calligraphy institute. Recently, with the decline of Yuxi ancient town, Yuxi painting and calligraphy school has also fallen into a trough. Fortunately, Cao, Cen Xuantian, Ren Kejia, Cao Runsheng, Cao Hongjiang, Zhu Gancheng and Cao Lin, as well as Ren Zurong, Ren Zuhao, Ren Zuyi, Cao Haohui, Cao Jing and Zhu Jun, inherited the fine tradition of western painting and calligraphy and worked hard silently.
In the farming era, immigrants were based on fields. With the expansion of Spanish, it gradually transited from the west to the eastern suburb of Nantong, and there was no fault. Jinsha field is in the middle of this transitional zone, and the whole immigrants are gradually pushing westward (with considerable financial resources). There is no pure indigenous dialect in Jinsha country. If you want to find it, it is only in Nantong city and its suburbs.
After the Revolution of 1911, in the early years of the Republic of China, in order to transform, educate and resettle refugees and (heavy) smokers, let them earn their own living, feed and live in peace and contentment, and let the local people live and work in peace and contentment, a part of the Confucius Temple was borrowed and Yuxi Refugee Factory was established. Later, many civilians (at that time, there was no distinction between residents and agricultural households) and craftsmen volunteered to join, and they developed and grew, which was spectacular for a while; This is the originator of modern township industry in China! Here, Nantong, the first city in modern China, has added a touch of the origin of township industry! The existing families still retain exquisite baskets, needlework plaques, etc. produced by Youmin Factory.
The Confucius Temple in western Henan experienced the Battle of Sangzi, and survived in the 1950s under the protection of the people in western Henan who inherited the heroic tradition of fighting the Japanese aggressors. This is really the luck of the country and the nation.
To the east of the Confucian Temple is Guandi Temple. Cao Shi, the surname of Yuxi in Longcheng, inherits martial arts customs and occupies a dominant position in the field of local public buildings: the Wu Temple was first built and lived in the east; The Confucian temple ranks first, in the west; This is the local characteristic of Yuxi! Yu Xichang Wang Cao made friends with martial arts, widely accepted his disciples and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. After his death, the Qing court broke his grave to remove the hidden dragon; The Qing court further broke the geomantic omen of Yuxi town, dug a city river from the middle of Yuxi town to the waist of the fence, and connected the east and west ends with a salt river; Now, however, the water transportation in Longcheng Yuxi is more convenient, and the Yuxi market is more prosperous and rich; There is a saying among the people, it is true that poor sand is out of the west.
Guandi Temple is adjacent to Yucheng Town God Temple in the east, Town God Temple Road in the east and Yanhe River in Yun Tong. There is a jade crab stone embedded in the Dongshan wall of Chenghuang Temple, which was presented by local leading cadres in Yuxi to the government of Nantong County (now Tongzhou District) for safekeeping.
Four white marble city gate stones, engraved with European official books, are still solemn. 1958 was laid by local leading cadres as a stepping stone in front of Yuxi "Auditorium".
