What are the characteristics of Wu culture?

It has the following four main features:

1, as good as water, inclusive.

Green waves, east, west, north and south waters, and Hong Lan 390 Bridge. Wudi is surrounded by lakes, with vertical and horizontal rivers and ports. People live on rice, fish and lotus roots, live on rivers, walk on boats and bridges, and raise silkworms with fish. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became the most developed industrial and commercial area in China. Wu culture is shaped by things and melted by water, forming a distinctive water culture feature.

2. Chongwen emphasizes education and applies it to the world.

The benevolent Leshan, the wise happy water. Water also endows Wu people with the characteristics of intelligence, gentleness and Shang Ya. If you have money, you should think about etiquette, and if you are safe, you should pay attention to education. Wu Wenfeng flourished. Among the top 1 14 scholars in Qing dynasty, there were 49 in Jiangsu, accounting for almost half, and 26 in Suzhou, accounting for more than half.

3, soft and rigid, elegant and good.

When elements such as "seclusion" and "Tao" in Wu Jun's water culture are brought into full play, it presents another look, just like the ordinary citizens in Zhang Pu's Tomb of Five in the Ming Dynasty, who show "love more than death" and the legacy of Wu Jun's ancestors in the pre-Qin period who were "light-skinned and easy to die". During the long Wu Dynasty, there was a high degree of prosperity. The harmonious development of scholars, agriculture, commerce and other industries, and the interaction between citizen culture and scholar-bureaucrat culture have brought different styles that suit both refined and popular tastes.

4, but new, Qiaotiangong.

"Full of vitality, natural efforts for innovation", thousands of years of romantic inheritance, prosperous iteration, the exquisite elegance of Wu traditional crafts is incredible, and a pot of spring in Ziguangyu is a vivid embodiment of a generation of great craftsmen's "skill into the Tao" and "craftsmanship". In addition to Wudi's rich and precious cultural relics and museums at home and abroad, there are a large number of colorful intangible cultural heritages.

Extended data:

Wu culture is the source of ancient civilization in Jiangnan. The inheritance initiated by Wu Taibo was the longest-lasting vassal state in the ancient history of China. Wu has a history of 740 years, which is unmatched by any vassal state in history.

The pursuit of truth is more valuable than the possession of truth. Taber's heroic spirit endures forever, and his courage remains in the world. There is an international saying that "Jiangnan culture began in Taibo, and Wu Ge is like Haiyuan Golden Chamber (Golden Chamber is now Wuxi)".

Taibo went south, combining the poems of the Zhou Dynasty with the local (mountain) songs of Wuxi, creating a new Wu Ge, promoting the combination of ancient so-called "Man Jing culture" and northern culture, and developing into Wu culture. Wuxi is the birthplace, which has created countless brilliant Wuxi folk songs, Tian Ge, village songs, fishing songs, fair songs, boat songs and love songs. These are Taber.

According to historical records, Wuxi is an ancient city with a history of more than 3,200 years. With the progress of archaeology, the excavation of historical sites and the study of ancient cultural relics, it can be asserted that Wuxi's ancient culture can be pushed back to an older era, not just as a poet.
