Just like a girl, no matter how beautiful she looks, if she has no cultural connotation, she will be a rural girl, not a forest. The same is true of tourism in a place. Without the support of cultural heritage, brand name cards, stories and feelings, how can people have an endless aftertaste and linger? No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it passes at a glance. How can charm still exist? People don't want to leave when they come, but they want to spend money comfortably?
Therefore, tourism without culture is blind! The tourism industry without cultural background is certainly difficult to prosper!
Maybe we Dongshan Island is a village girl with no cultural background? Don't! On the contrary, we are not short of historical and cultural details at all. What I lack is mining and management. At present, the biggest task of our Dongshan Island tourism is how to make full use of the weather, geographical location and human harmony, fully tap our Dongshan Island's natural and human resources, make a unique tourism cultural brand, do a good job in layout, resource integration and overall planning, and make Dongshan Island a coastal cultural island with international vision.
First, the battlefield culture.
Dongshan Island, embedded between the mainland and Taiwan Province Island, is a springboard between the mainland and Taiwan Province Island, and has an irreplaceable strategic position. It has always been a battleground for military strategists, with the best-preserved ancient city wall among the four Davids in the Ming Dynasty. Dongshan Island has been the main anti-Japanese position since Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built Tongshan Academy, and Qi Jiguang also trained on it. In the 28th year of Jiajing (1549), Dongshan repelled the Portuguese invasion; In the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633) and the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), Dongshan repelled the Dutch invasion twice. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Dongshan Island became the frontier of anti-Qing. Zheng Chenggong led the army to recover Taiwan Province Province, and Dongshan was one of the expedition points. Later, the Zheng regime and the Qing government alternately occupied Dongshan several times. In the early Qing Dynasty, Shi Daozong (15000) established the Heaven-Earth Society in Changlin Temple of Jiuxian Mountain, in order to clear up the sight. In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi and the third year of Kangxi, Dongshan Island was moved twice. In the twenty-second year of Kangxi, Shi Lang went to Dongshan to unify Taiwan Province Province; In the twenty-first year of Daoguang (184 1), the Qing government was defeated in the first opium war, but the Dongshan naval battle won and repelled the invasion of British ships. During the Republic of China, there were three War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Dongshan Island. 1950, the Kuomintang defeated Taiwan Province Province and captured more than 4,000 able-bodied men in Dongshan. Many young people were forced to leave their homes, and their wives and children were separated. Some villages even become widow villages because there are no men. 1July, 953, the Kuomintang counterattacked the mainland, targeting Dongshan Island. The battle of Dongshan is the last battle on the front battlefield of the country, which is of extraordinary commemorative significance.
According to incomplete statistics, there have been no fewer than 40 wars and battles in the history of Dongshan, and there are many unique and exclusive sites now. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the ancient city of Tongshan could be restored and developed well, and one or two tourist routes with the theme of war could be sorted out, so that tourists can reflect on the harm caused by war and carry out patriotic education while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Dongshan? Or based on the culture of war, create some field games to simulate war, such as real CS beach landing, which will definitely enrich the passenger experience and let young people play more!

Second, Guandi culture (pilgrimage culture)
Guandi culture can be said to be the leader of Dongshan culture, and Guandi Temple was built at the same time with thousands of houses in Tongshan. For hundreds of years, in the eyes of Dongshan people, Emperor Guan has always protected the soil, water and people. Almost every household on the island worships Guandi, calling him the "ancestor emperor" and regards Guandi as the ancestor. All major issues should be asked to the "Emperor Zu", and it is up to the Emperor Zu to decide. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, due to the resistance of Dongshan islanders to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government, in order to separate the connection between the Zheng regime in Taiwan Province Province and the mainland, carried out "moving the boundary", unifying Taiwan Province Province first and then "reuniting the boundary". So back and forth, Dongshan's economy and culture have been destroyed. Sadly, the Qing government did not give Dongshan people a "household registration". Without the "household registration", it means that Dongshan people have no civil treatment, can't participate in the imperial examination, can't buy a house, and their lives are in dire straits. It is said that at this moment, Guandi had a dream for Chen Ruxian, then the magistrate of Zhangpu County, and scolded him for being an official and not for the people, so he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. Chen Ruxian pleaded with the Qing court in the name of Guandi, and finally made the people of Dongshan become citizens. With the hukou, the heads of households are Guan Yongmao and Guan Shixian. As a result, Dongshan people became descendants of Guan, and they were grateful to Guan Di from generation to generation. Villagers who go out to make a living must carry Guan Dixiang with them. Wherever they settled, they spread Guandi culture. The Fenling Temple of Dongshan Guandi Temple can be seen everywhere in Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province and Southeast Asia. Today, there are nearly 1000 fenling temples.
Loyalty, courage, benevolence, courtesy, wisdom, faith and other Guandi spirits have been deeply rooted in this hot land, integrated into the blood of local people, and guided them to distinguish right from wrong, promote good and suppress evil, just in line with socialist core values such as "patriotism, civilization, honesty and harmony", forming a unique Guandi cultural belief.
Nowadays, the annual "Dongshan Guandi Cultural Festival" is the most important festival on Dongshan Island, and it is also a good opportunity to sign investment projects, which has made great contributions to the development of Dongshan tourism. However, the current festival mode is still insufficient, and there is still room for further improvement: first, there are too few derivatives of Guandi culture, and pilgrims come to pilgrimage and often return empty-handed because there are not many valuable tourism products; Second, the mode of Guandi Cultural Festival is repetitive and single, and it has been held for more than 20 sessions, with little innovation and freshness; Third, pilgrims and tourists lack a sense of ceremony, which is more like watching the excitement than pilgrimage; 4. Guandi's cultural industry has not reached the scale. Although many projects are often signed, how many are related to Guandi culture?
Therefore, it is suggested to hold Guandi Cultural Tourism Festival with innovative thinking. Under the theme of Guandi culture, there should be a small theme and a small goal every year to promote the development of a cultural industry, create more valuable and memorable "hand-holding gifts", pay attention to the experience of tourists in the style of hosting, and avoid "aesthetic fatigue"!
Promoting Guandi culture should not be limited to holding Guandi Cultural Festival, but should be normalized, giving people more autonomy, holding various forms of pilgrimage culture, creating a cultural exchange platform between Fujian and Taiwan, and allowing more believers from all over the world to come to pilgrimage. The true Guandi culture should be carried forward and made bigger and stronger.

Third, the red culture (Gu Wenchang culture).
It is a blessing for Dongshan people to have a leader like Gu Wenchang. His deeds of leading Dongshan people to plant Casuarina and control sandstorms spread all over China, and even national leaders praised him many times. We should learn from him not only the fighting spirit of controlling sandstorms, but also his spirit and deeds of building the party for the public and governing for the people. He dared to take responsibility, implemented the policy of benefiting the people, and turned the "enemy and puppet" family captured by the Kuomintang into a "soldier in disaster" family; Construction of Baqimen seawall and South Gate seawall; Opening saltworks to revitalize the economy; Don't follow the trend to destroy production during the Great Leap Forward; Ensure that no one in the county starved to death during the three-year natural disaster; Do not seek personal gain for children and so on. He is hardworking and simple, dedicated to the people, and is a green monument in the eyes of Dongshan people. He still has a lot of spirit and deeds to learn and explore.
However, at present, Gu Wenchang culture is mostly used for learning, and it has not been properly sorted out, excavated and integrated to serve Dongshan tourism, which is a pity. But it may be thin to travel only by Gu Wenchang culture. Therefore, it is suggested that Gu Wenchang culture should be developed into red culture or patriotic culture, and then other tourist attractions and natural landscapes should be integrated to create one or two tourist routes with the theme of red culture.
Red culture takes Gu Wenchang culture as the main axis, and can also be interspersed with patriotic culture, clean government culture, official culture and other elements:
(1) Patriotic culture: Dongshan has produced many patriotic celebrities, such as Zhou Kangqing of the ecliptic, Lin Rirui (official of Gansu), Xie Chen (military officer of seven provinces, Tongling) and Chen Shiqi (official of Sichuan, Tongling), all of whom died because of patriotic failure.
(2) Integrity culture: Dongshan has produced many honest officials, such as Huang Daozhou, Cai (Hutang people, once served as the magistrate of Chun 'an County), Tang Yi (Tongling people, the official to Zongrenfu) and Gu Wenchang. They are all honest officials.
(3) Official culture: It is used to commemorate the officials who made contributions to Dongshan in history, such as Cai Chao (Linhai, who participated in Fujian's participation in the political power and was the initiator of Dongshan culture and education), Chen Ruxian (Yinxian, who served as Zhangpu county magistrate), Xu Shiying (Anhui, who served as prime minister of the Republic of China and promoted the establishment of Dongshan county magistrate) and Gu Wenchang.

Red culture can also be combined with the surrounding red cultural tourism resources, such as Wushan Red Army Base, to open up a brand-new red tourism route from mountains and seas, from revolutionary period to construction period.
Fourth, Daozhou culture (sage culture)
Huang Daozhou, a representative of Fujian literati, is the only outstanding figure in the history of China who is a national hero, a master of Neo-Confucianism, a calligrapher and an educator. He was a household name in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but little is known now. "There was Huang Daozhou in ancient times, and now there is Gu Wenchang." National leaders compare Huang Daozhou with Gu Wenchang, which shows the position of Huang Daozhou in the eyes of leaders.
Huang Daozhou has the spirit of patriotism without self, selfless honesty and selfless struggle. He is proud of being an official, but he is polite to his servants. His life is a legendary story. His academic monographs can be discussed for life, his poems can be studied repeatedly, and his Mo Bao can be continuously appreciated.
Similarly, turning Huang Daozhou culture into a tourist route should not be confined to Huang Daozhou itself, but should take him as the main axis, rely on Ming and Qing cultures and take his birthplace as the main scene to tell tourists what kind of "spiritual place" it is, thus producing "outstanding figures" like Huang Daozhou?
Huang Daozhou was born in Ding Jie, the ancient city of Tongshan. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the style of writing here was flourishing and talented people came forth in large numbers. This street is only a few hundred meters long. From Jiajing in Ming Dynasty to the end of Ming Dynasty, in less than one hundred years, 12 Jinshi emerged. The alleys from Ding Jie to Gushen Mountain are all beautiful, with interesting names, such as Lion High Chest and Qiqu Lane. There are many beautiful legends. Unfortunately, these tourism resources have not been excavated.
Therefore, we can take the culture of the ecliptic state as the main axis and combine the local folk customs of Dongshan to create a Daozhou cultural street. The suggestions are as follows:
(1) Zhou Wenhua series of books, especially popular books, were published to let people know about Daozhou.
(2) Making Daozhou series of film and television works to enhance Daozhou's influence and enhance Dongshan's popularity.
(3) hold a roving exhibition of Daozhou-related calligraphy and painting, and invite oil painters from all over the country to Dongshan to paint Daozhou's historical deeds and communicate with Taiwan.
(4) Organize the existing Huang Daozhou Memorial Hall and former residence. Daozhou is a national hero and can build a patriotic education base; Daozhou is a great calligrapher and can establish a cultural and creative park; As a great educator, Daozhou can build an ancient academy to simulate ancient lectures and etiquette. Let tourists not only watch and listen, but also feel the cultural experience and learn historical knowledge.
(5) Create a series of products of Taoist culture and develop some additional products of Taoist culture. For example, cartoon characters in Q version, calligraphy and painting books, his favorite food, the model of "Arabic disc" he invented, his calligraphy folding fan and so on.
(6) Taking Ding Jie as the carrier, combined with the folk culture of southern Fujian, let foreign tourists experience how Dongshan people spend folk festivals, and also teach tourists to cook some foods with southern Fujian characteristics, such as "red turtle and hair clasp", so that tourists can feel folk culture and experience folk customs.
(7) The first store along the alley uniformly sells folk food and products, and the house leading to the mountain in the alley is developed and transformed into a homestay. Let tourists live on the mountain and see the sea and starry sky.
(8) Taking the place where Huang Daozhou took Xu Xiake in the sixth year of Chongzhen as a scenic spot, Huang Daozhou's calligraphy was made into cliff stone carvings.
Related attractions: Huang Daozhou Memorial Hall, Huang Daozhou's former residence, Huangjia Temple, Dongmenyu, Jiuxian Mountain, Ding Jie, Yang Jiao, Hutang Village and Kangmei Village.
Taoist Zhouwenhua can also combine Zhangpu (Huang Daozhou Memorial Hall, Huang Daozhou Park), Longhai (Caiban Village), Zhangzhou (Rongtan Academy, Yeshan Academy), and even Hangzhou (Dida Academy) and Nanjing (martyrdom) to create a Huang Daozhou cultural tourism route along the life track of Huang Daozhou.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Taiwan Province culture
Dongshan, as the most important springboard between mainland China and Taiwan Province Province, has the most contact with Taiwan Province Province. Zheng Chenggong went to Dongshan to recover Taiwan Province Province, and the Qing government moved to Dongshan and other coastal areas to stop the compound from supporting Taiwan Province Province. Shi Lang rose from Dongshan to unify Taiwan Province Province. After reunification, the Qing government deployed troops from Dongshan and other places to defend Taiwan Province Province. 1950, the Kuomintang was defeated, and many Dongshan youths were taken to Taiwan Province Province to serve as soldiers. 1953, the Kuomintang counterattacked the mainland, targeting Dongshan. Taiwan Province Province has many relatives in Dongshan, and Dongshan also has many relatives in Taiwan Province Province. In the 1980s, Taiwan Province Province released veterans to visit relatives in the mainland, most of whom came to Dongshan. In the early days of reform and opening up, Taiwan-funded enterprises helped Dongshan's economic development. The consanguinity, consanguinity and geographical integration of Dongshan and Taiwan Province Province are inseparable. A large part of the history of Dongshan is the history of Taiwan Province, and its role and position in Taiwan Province's relations and culture is irreplaceable. Official exchanges may change with the cross-strait situation, but people-to-people exchanges are bound to become closer and closer, which cannot be stopped by Taiwan Province authorities. Therefore, doing a good job of Taiwan Province culture in Dongshan can not only promote the development of tourism, but also contribute to the United front work.

Sixth, seeking the sea culture.
In Dongshan population, fishing in the sea is not called fishing, but begging for the sea! It means begging for food from the sea. This name is very vivid, which is both awe of nature and deep helplessness. Haidilao must first look at the mood of nature. Sometimes, when a storm comes, the boat capsizes and the whole family is gone. Going out to sea to make a living is actually asking for a living from the sea with your life, so it is called "seeking the sea". Today, with the development of science and technology, the risk of offshore operation is still not small, but in the era of wooden sailboats without weather forecast, the degree of danger can be imagined. Therefore, Dongshan people are very afraid of the sea and life, and have formed an unwritten rule. As long as they go out to sea, once they find the body, whether floating at sea or fishing, they should put down their work and bring it back for a good burial. There are several "Wanfu Palace" temples in Dongshan, which are specially used to accommodate these unidentified bodies for people to worship, and the incense is still very prosperous. Once a fisherman found the remains of a foreigner and built a "Gong Fan Temple" for resettlement, which still exists today and the incense continues.
This is a unique humanistic culture that Dongshan has been inheriting for thousands of years. If we can build a special marine tourism route, it is also an innovation to educate people to respect nature, life, protect the environment and inherit traditional culture.
In addition, the awe of nature is also reflected in Mazu's cultural beliefs. There are dozens of Mazu Tempel in Dongshan.

Seven, coastal customs
While turning the island's culture into a tourist route, it should also be organically integrated into the unique coastal fishermen's customs on the island. The Tropic of Cancer passes through Dongshan, where the East China Sea and the South China Sea meet. It has a beautiful beach of 100 kilometers and more than 60 small islands around it. The Taiwan Province Strait was land 10,000 years ago, and the Taiwan Province Strait was formed only after the sea level rose. Below the strait is the Dongshan continental shelf. Because of the existence of the continental shelf, ocean currents on both sides go uphill, bringing plankton and attracting fish, shrimp and crabs to breed, so they grow very fat. Therefore, Dongshan is rich in seafood and delicious in meat, far from being comparable to other places. Aquaculture is still the pillar industry of Dongshan. Men go fishing in the sea, return to the boat to dry their nets, and the sun sets on the sea, and the afterglow is all over the sky. In the eyes of tourists, that is the most beautiful scenery and the best travel experience.
Our tourism model can't just stay in coastal sightseeing and leisure vacation. You can also open up a sea paradise, where you can swim, surf, fish and pull the mountain net on the beach; You can build a cruise around the island, take guests to watch the sunrise and sunset at sea, see the marine zoo, climb the fishbone sandbar, and have tea, coffee, karaoke and parties on the cruise. You can build a seawater hot spring center and a live seafood street. You can climb mountains to see the sea, sing in the breeze, fish in the sea, etc ... In short, only by letting tourists come, have fun, have fun and eat well can you keep people and money.
Because of its unique coastal scenery, Dongshan is also a "natural studio", where more than 40 film and television dramas such as Hai Xia, The Journey to the West, Gu Wenchang and Left Ear have been filmed. Because of a movie "Left Ear", many young people have been attracted to visit it for ten years. Therefore, the shooting location should be well protected, sorted out, marked and guided, so that fans can feel deja vu when they get there and return to the movie. Choosing a place to build a seascape film and television city will inevitably make Dongshan's tourism pattern completely different.

The above tourism cultural customs are not isolated, but three-dimensional and multifaceted. We can design different tourist routes according to the needs of different tourists. While enjoying the natural scenery, we feel like we are on vacation, with history, culture, stories and feelings everywhere. Only in this way can Dongshan Island truly become an international tourist island!
