Hello, welcome to Shipu, an ancient fishing port city in China. Confucius said, "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar.". I am very happy that I can serve as a tour guide for you today. Before entering the scenic spot, let me make a brief introduction.
Shipu is a famous historical and cultural town in China, as well as a famous fishing and industrial town in the southeast coast, which is known as "a city full of twists and turns before the storm". People live in the smoke, and the sound of Wan Li waves comes to the pillow. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, merchants have gathered and shops have prospered, which has been called "the thoroughfare of the sea, the important town of Zhejiang and foreign countries, and the seafood kingdom". It is also one of the earliest cradles of fishery in China. Humans fished and hunted here in the Neolithic Age, and it is a true portrayal that "Lang does not farm or weave, and his livelihood is in fishing boats for one year". Shipu ancient city, 6 years ago, was once a coastal defense fortress and an important town for fishermen. It still retains ancient city walls, ancient gates, ancient streets and lanes, ancient shops and ancient houses, and it also exudes a strong coastal defense culture and fishermen's culture from time to time. Shipu Port is also a well-known national central fishing port in China, with 18-mile harbor, island ring screen and five gates, which can park 1, fishing boats and 1, tons of seagoing vessels. During the fishing season, there are many masts and bright fishing fires. Every year in mid-September, the grand "China Fishing Festival" will be held here. On the occasion of fishing, thousands of high-powered steel fishing boats, amidst firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums, are rushing to the sea with great momentum. With a long history, profound cultural heritage, beautiful natural environment, charming green island beach, simple old city streets, bustling harbor docks, attractive seafood and unique fisherman's customs, people are increasingly optimistic. It not only has the charm of a famous historical and cultural town, but also is a leisure resort and sea garden for you to rush to the sea, wash away your fatigue, experience the life of fishermen, taste rich seafood and explore the origin of fishing culture.
[ Fishing Port Ancient City ]
(Entrance Square) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to visit the fishing port ancient city. Before entering, I will briefly introduce it: the fishing port ancient city is the essence of Shipu, a famous historical and cultural town in China. It was founded in 1387 and has a history of 617 years. According to the Ming Dynasty's Jiajingfu County Records, "In the twenty years of Hongwu, because of its coastal defense, 2, households were stationed here to defend the city." The city faces the sea in the southeast, and the mountain in the northwest. The city is 2 feet high, 6 feet wide and 67 feet in the week. It has three gates in the west, south and north, and a water gate is built between the west and south gates. There are 2,96 pheasants, 29 police shops and three enemy stations in the city. At that time, it was the important town of Zheyang Middle Road. One end of it is connected with the fishing port, and the other end is hidden in the valley between mountains. The city wall is built with the ups and downs of the mountain, and the gate is shaped. According to Gaokong Port, it is known as "the city is on the port and the mountain is in the city". The buildings in the city are built on the steps of mountains, with layers of overlapping buildings and houses in different directions. Streets climb up and down, winding, and at the junction of streets and lanes, a bank up wall with dozens of holes is built, which not only switches the space of streets, but also prevents the fire from spreading and thieves from entering. When you browse the antique streets and kiss the smooth and bright stone road with your feet, the mottled old shops, old fishing shops and twelve venues reflecting the characteristics of the ancient fishing port will surely make you feel the strong fishing culture and merchant culture, as if to open a sealed memory for you. When you touch the vicissitudes of the ancient city wall, the ancient city gate, the ancient urn, and the Bing Gu Department with your hands, it will make your ears ring with the fierce battle shouting and killing that year against the Japanese enemy. When you turn around in the old street and Gu Xiang, there will appear in front of your eyes the ancient houses of Huizhou, Fujian, Jiangnan and Western schools with the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are ups and downs, simple and elegant, beautifully decorated, all of which are the charm of the ancient fishing port city. Well, please look up now. The towering towers, city walls and rows of houses are the ancient fishing port we are about to visit.
[ Jiangxin Temple ]
Ladies and gentlemen, the temple next to us is called Jiangxin Temple, which was founded in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of 6 years. It enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva with great mercy and eighteen vivid arhats with different shapes. According to legend, it was specially built to protect fishermen from going out to sea and fishing with full loads, so it is full of incense all the year round. As for why it is called Jiangxin Temple, it is because when the temple was built, it was still an island surrounded by water.
[ Bowling Street ]
(inside the entrance) Ladies and gentlemen! We have entered the first old street, Bowling Street, in the ancient fishing port city. Why is it called Bowling Street? That's because during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were shops selling bowls all over the street, and all kinds of dishes were available here, so it was named Bowling Street. This street is also the main street that enters the south gate (east gate) of the ancient city. Because the gate is built on the high slope of the hill, the ancients built this S-shaped street with a length of 147 meters, a height of 35 meters and 82 stone steps. It is like a ladder thrown from the harbor to the ancient city (or: like a ladder hanging from the bottom of the ancient city). Its remarkable feature is that "the street climbs the hillside and the steps are dense." This scene is strange and wonderful. Many tourists will be attracted by it and stop to take pictures. This street feature is very rare in the existing historical and cultural towns in China. (Its characteristics, the tour guide can take the tourists under the stone steps after the "vicissitudes of the port city" tour, or you can say, ladies and gentlemen, look at "the street climbs the hillside ………………………………………").
(Ancient City Tour Map) Dear tourists, this sketch painted on the wall is a tour route map of Shipu Ancient City. Because the scenic spot is not perfect, the current tour route is from here (entrance) to the Asian Flying Man Pavilion, passing through Wanxing Street, the east side of Fujian Street, the ancient city wall, Wengcheng, the city gate, the middle street and the back street, with a length of about 1,5 meters. Twelve venues reflecting the characteristics of the ancient fishing port are set up along the route. Ok, now please follow me into the first venue, "vicissitudes of port city"
[ vicissitudes of port city ]
(in front of the gate) Dear visitors, the exhibition hall of "vicissitudes of port city" uses modern ideas and artistic techniques to show major events and related people, events and things in the history of the ancient fishing port, so that we can have a perceptual understanding of it. It consists of fishing in the ancient city, anecdotes of celebrities, poems on fishing light, bright lights standing, coastal defense in Ming and Qing Dynasties, brave rescue of allies, Sino-French war, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, port city from zhaohui and so on. (This tour guide depends on the situation, and can also speak at the gate, or in the courtyard, or just speak the first sentence and omit it later).
(Ming Dynasty Warship) Dear tourists, the warship we saw was the one that participated in the naval battle against Japan in Shipu in the Ming Dynasty. It was restored according to one-fifth of the typical tiger-headed beast-patterned gun boats along the coast of Zhejiang during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the colorful tiger head at the bow was its distinctive symbol. The original hull was 25 meters long and equipped with 12 cannons, which had strong lethality.
(fishing season in ancient city) Dear friends, Shipu is a famous fishing town along the southeast coast, and its development track is to multiply and prosper fishing. The theme scene of the ancient city's fishing season is to restore the momentum of the coastal defense town under the high control of the port in the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous street view shops, the Qian Fan's competition, the harbor docks where thousands of boats and ants gather, the bustling fish market shops and the soldiers and generals who are armed with armor, which condenses the "Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival" where "Lang does not plow the fields and never get married, and his livelihood is in fishing boats for one year".
(Shipu Fish Market by Wu Quan in Ming Dynasty) There is a saying in the five-character law that "wild lanterns hang on the moon, and fishing boats gather stars with fire. The fish market in Shicheng is good, which is a description of "reviving the fish market".
(Celebrity Anecdote) Dear tourists, Shipu Mountain is surrounded by water, and talented people come forth in large numbers. Celebrities from past dynasties have come in droves. They include Tao Hongjing, prime minister in the mountains in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wang Gangfu in the Yuan Dynasty, Shao Jingyao, Yu Shiji and Vu Thang in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Cang Shui in the Qing Dynasty, Cai Yuanpei, Ma Xulun, Wu Han, Zhang Guotao, Nie Er, Wang Renmei, Cai Chusheng, Ji Zigeng and Zhao Xiaobao in modern times. They are those who cultivate alchemy, write books and make statements, those who are honored in the gold medal list and sent to international cultural exchanges, those who build cities to defend and pacify the enemy, those who resist the Qing Dynasty and regain sight, those who are righteous and upright, those who are filial and generous, and those who bravely save their allies and sacrifice their lives for benevolence. In different historical periods, it left a glorious page in different ways.
(Ji Zigeng) Dear tourists, this kind old man is the famous philanthropist Mr. Ji Zigeng. He was born in the fourth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1865) and died in the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933). A young man loses his father, but his family is poor. Starting from a small business, it is booming. Being charitable all one's life, giving aid to the poor in the neighborhood at the end of the year is an example, and building bridges, paving roads, schools and good churches are all donated. In January 1927, educators and writers Cai Yuanpei and Ma Xulun were wanted by Sun Chuanfang, a warlord, in order to instigate the failure of Xia Chao's independence. They were accompanied by Li Naiji, a former Peking University student, and took refuge in their homes. Under the careful arrangement and funding of Mr. Ji Zigeng, he arrived in Fuzhou smoothly. On the 6th birthday, the President of the National Government and others specially praised such plaques and medals as "filial piety can be the wind", "being anxious for public interests and kindness" and "being charitable". After his death, Cai Yuanpei wrote a tombstone and Ma Xulun wrote an epitaph. This is the tombstone written by Cai Yuanpei for Mr. Ji Zigeng, and this is the epitaph written by Mr. Ma Xulun. Some of the things displayed here are used by Mr. Ji Zigeng in those years.
(Pengshan Scenic Spot) Dear tourists, this stone carving of Pengshan Scenic Spot was carved because Xu Fu, an alchemist of Qin Dynasty, sought immortality medicine for Qin Shihuang and once lived in Penglai Mountain in Xiangshan. According to Tai Ping Guang Ji, in the early Qin Dynasty, there were many people who died in vain in Dawan, including black velvet, and all of them were alive. Mr. Guigu said, "It is an immortal herb in the ancestral state." In the twenty-eighth year of Yingzheng (219 BC), Xu Fu (the city) and Zi Jun Fang wrote that there were three sacred mountains in the sea, Penglai, the abbot and Yingzhou, where immortals lived. The first emperor sent Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls, and made every effort to build a boat here, sinking wells and practicing immortality. Soon, Qin Shihuang made a southern tour, reached Huiji (now Shaoxing), and went to Yinxian County. Xu Fu made a boat to avoid punishment. Later, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing (456-536), the so-called prime minister in the mountains, was a well-known thinker and physician. He was born in Zhiling, Danyang, Jiangsu Province (now Nanjing) and visited Yuwang Temple in Yinxian County. He learned that Penglai Mountain in Xiangshan used to be Xu Fu's residence, and there were Taoist temples and wells, so he came here to draw clear water from the Dan well, and then made an alchemy in Penglai Mountain. The upper picture on the right shows the Danshan well dug by Xu Fu in Qin Dynasty. Up to now, the well water is crystal clear and tastes sweet. The next picture shows the Danfang (now called Stone House) when Tao Hongjing was making an alchemy.
Ladies and gentlemen! This statue with an official hat and official clothes and a fine face, can you guess who he is? By the way, this tourist is right. He is Wen Tianxiang, the minister and writer of the Southern Song Dynasty. Some tourists may ask, has Wen Tianxiang been here? What does he have to do with here! That's because Wen Tianxiang escaped from danger in Zhenjiang and went to Tongzhou (now Nantong, Jiangsu Province) after being detained as an envoy to Yuan Junyi. On the way to Fujian by boat, he entered the disorderly reef ocean in our county, and was deeply attracted by the strange and indescribable island landscape, which made him feel relaxed and happy, and almost became a fairy country, and wrote the five-character law: ". In Vientiane calligraphy and painting, in the world of thousands of cliffs and jade. The wind shakes the spring and the waves are soft, and the reef excites the twilight tide. The clouds are dense in the southeast, and the dragon is in the blue sky. The scenery behind is a corner of the sea stone forest landscape of Hua 'ao Island, which is not far from the original landforms of three known central volcanoes in the world.
(Song Palace) Ladies and gentlemen, when you see the stone tablet of the Song Palace, you may wonder why there is a Song Palace here, which was in Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty and in Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) in the Southern Song Dynasty. For this, I will tell you first that the Song Palace here is not the palace of the emperor, but a temple built by people to commemorate the emperor of the Song Dynasty. According to Ming Jiajing's "Xiangshan County Records", in the second year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1279), Zhao Min, the young emperor, was defeated by Guangdong Yashan, and Lu Xiufu, the minister, threw himself into the sea. A few days later, local people found a lot of floating bodies on the beach shore. One of them, a teenager, wearing an embroidered dragon and yellow robe, was suspected to be a young emperor. He was buried one by one, surrounded by a wall, and was named Song Huangcheng. In Shipu, Yanchang, Pingyan and other places, a number of temples and palaces of the Song Dynasty were built. This "Song Palace" is located in Yanchang, and it is well preserved at present. We don't care about the authenticity of this record for the time being, but it just shows the national spirit of Shipu people who don't want foreign rule.
(patio thatched cottage) Dear tourists, these thatched cottages are the epitome of the former fishing villages. In fact, some fishermen's thatched cottages are even more shabby than this. As we all know, in the old days, fishermen had three knives on their heads, "fisherman", "pirate" and "storm", and their lives were very difficult. As the folk proverb goes, "I don't know when I will see the king of hell when I live in a golden silk house (thatched cottage), wear a bloody robe, drink shredded soup, a broken boat and a net."
(Yu Guang Shi Hua) Dear tourists, this is the exhibition area of Yu Guang Shi Hua, a Shipu fisherman who has made unremitting love with the sea for thousands of years. Not only created a rich culture of fishermen, but also wrote immortal poems about fishing light, and the film "Fishing Light Song" is a pearl in the poems. Directed by Cai Chusheng, starring Wang Renmei and Langen Han, it was filmed by Shanghai Lianhuajingye Company in 1934 and won the honorary prize of Moscow International Film Festival in 1935. It was the first audio film in China to win an international prize. Its location and the tearful scenes reflected the miserable life of fishermen, the hard fishing at sea, the fish line and the bullying and exploitation of fish tyrants were all filmed in Shipu. These photos next to them are the real photos taken in the past.
(Shooting process) Ladies and gentlemen, in early September 1933, a group of more than 3 people, including Cai Chusheng, Wang Renmei, Nie Er, Langen Han, Jin Yan and Hui min Situ, from Shanghai arrived in Shipu by Zhoushan and stayed at Pujiang and Jinshan Hotel. Shoot the location and real-life content of fishing town, fishing village style, fishermen's life, sea fishing, fish trade, bullying and exploitation by fish traders and fish tyrants. In order to make the film more authentic and appealing, the crew visited the poor.
