Why is Quanzhou's concept of "mother river" so weak?

Set up a monument for the source of Jinjiang and cut the ribbon in the near future.
(Planning background:) Well is often the most direct image of hometown. Many people, when they are far away from their hometown and miss their hometown on a moonlit night, will think of the well in their hometown, and the relationship between "well" and individuals will rise from daily diet to cultural education. "The foot of my bed is shining with such bright light. Is it frosty already? . Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " The bed full of moonlight is the railing of the well.
But a well can only be an individual, or the spiritual hometown of a few people, because a well can only undertake the task of raising a few people. It is a river that can undertake a wider range of people and a wider range of parenting tasks. Just as everyone has a well in his heart as a symbol of his hometown, larger groups have a river as their emotional sustenance for home. This inexhaustible river silently contributes and selflessly raises her children, becoming a totem and a mother. Whether you choose to live by the grass or the feeling that the deceased is worried about staying up late, without that river, there would be no people and no hometown. We call the river with direct nurturing significance "Mother River".
A village, a town, a city, a country and a nation all have their own mother river. The mother river of the Chinese nation is the Yellow River, and the mother river of Quanzhou is Jinjiang. Of course, they don't conflict. The original origin of human beings is often associated with a river and gradually flows into a civilization. The meaning of "Mother River" not only gives us life, but also gives us character. The origin of Jinjiang's name is generally believed that there was a war in the Central Plains in the Jin Dynasty, and literati lived south along the river. In order to miss the old country, the river around them is called "Jinjiang". There is also a saying that Quanzhou people are mostly descendants of Shanxi immigrants, and Shanxi is the state of Jin. In order to miss the old country, the river around them is also called "Jinjiang". In any case, this name with a strong meaning of "Zi" shows that Quanzhou people have the same strong identity with the Central Plains. Just like missing the well of hometown, people often indicate their Central Plains identity on the door: "Yingchuan Yan School", "Taiyuan Fang Chuan" and so on. )
The village that used to live on weeds has now developed into a city. Just like children eager to grow up, children along the mother river are growing up and dreaming of big cities. In this dream, I am full of yearning for expanding the territory and upgrading the level.
A long time ago, we had a strong dependence on the river and needed her for irrigation and feeding, so we also had a closer relationship and deeper feelings for the river. We respect her and love her just like our mother. When we are strong enough to conquer and control nature according to our own wishes and needs, we begin to be indifferent to the mother river and even forget her one day. Quanzhou is like this, don't you believe it? When asked about Jinjiang in Quanzhou people's minds, most people don't have the concept of "mother river".
This indifference is gradually formed. Living in Quanzhou, a corner of Jinjiang, is like a lost child. It is rare to see my mother once a week, even if I pass by occasionally, I will be deprived of my mother's meaning by the toll of the bridge.
It is an attitude that we finally give the mother river a mother's position, and Quanzhou's cross-river strategy is based on the dream of a big city, hoping to introduce the mother river into our lives and become an opportunity for us to rely on her for blind date.
