My hometown is Tianjin, located on the coast of Bohai Sea, bordering Bohai Bay in the east, Yanshan Mountains in the north, Beijing in the west and China hinterland and Liaoning in the south. The unique geographical conditions determine that Tianjin is an extraordinary city, the largest coastal open city in the north of Tianjin, the shipping and industrial center in the north of China, the economic center in the north of China, and one of the four municipalities directly under the central government in China!
Although the history of Tianjin is not long, it is unforgettable. On February 23rd, A.D. 1404, in order to commemorate the "Battle of Jingnan" in the Ming Dynasty, this place was named Tianjin, which means the ferry where the son of heaven passed. Tianjin, as a military location, began to build a defense in the small zhi gu area southwest of the Sanchahekou, which is well known to the world today. 1860, the Sino-British Crow War ended in the fiasco of the China government in the late Qing Dynasty. The British and French allied forces occupied Tianjin, and Tianjin was forced to open a port. Foreign powers successively entered Tianjin and set up concessions in Tianjin, leaving an indelible mark of shame in the modern history of China. 1October 29th, 1948, 165438, the famous "Tianjin Campaign" started, which opened the prelude to the liberation of Tianjin. In the early morning of the following year, 65438+1October 15, the East-West Road Assault Group of the People's Liberation Army successfully joined forces at Jintang Bridge, turning a new page in Tianjin's history. With the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, Tianjin ushered in a leap-forward housing exhibition and gradually developed into an international metropolis and an economic center city in northern China.
Tianjin has been the hometown of Quyi since ancient times. Folk Quyi is varied, exquisite and breathtaking. Cross talk, Beijing drum, Allegro and other representative folk arts have gained a good reputation in the country, and a large number of well-known performing artists from all over the country have come here. The audience and the people who came to look for it were in an endless stream. It is not uncommon to go to the teahouse to listen to cross talk and make a pot of hot tea. Even in the bustling modern metropolis, teahouse culture will never be dim, without the glitz of Shanghai and the leisure of Sichuan Mahjong, but it has its unique charm.
Food is an indispensable element in Tianjin people's life, and Tianjin people know how to enjoy life, especially in terms of diet. Needless to say, Tianjin's three famous snacks, Goubuli Steamed Bun, Shibajie Twist and Ear-shaped Fried Cake, are found in all kinds of local snacks, becoming a must for Tianjin tourists to taste flavor snacks. In the east, sea crabs are naturally the signature of Tianjin people's dining tables and the seafood in Beitang. It also reflects Tianjin people's pursuit of food and optimistic attitude towards life. Besides, Tianjin Bao Xiao chestnut is one of the most famous snacks, and the long queue in front of the store speaks for itself. At the end of 1980s, Tianjin built a food street, a tourist street and a clothing street, which integrated food, clothing and housing, providing very convenient conditions for domestic and foreign consumers.
Tianjin is a famous historical and cultural city. In a city, a large number of ancient buildings with national style and many western-style buildings are preserved, so Tianjin has always been called the World Expo. Tianjin's urban architecture is unique, with carved beams and painted columns and elegant ancient buildings, such as the Drum Tower, located in Nankai Development Zone and Hongqiao District. It is an ancient city left by ancient Tianjinwei, and now it has become a famous tourist attraction. In addition, there are many novel and unique western-style buildings, including English medieval style. German Gothic, French Romanesque architectural style, Russian classical style, Greek elegant style, etc. Tianjin people usually call these Western-style buildings "Xiaoyanglou", which come from the Italian Style Street in Hebei District and the Fifth Avenue in the Concession Area. Western-style buildings that come into view will make people feel as if they are in medieval Europe, with countless beautiful scenery, but at the same time they are engraved with the imprint of historical shame. These are the evidences of the invaders in the last century!
This is my beautiful hometown-Tianjin, an international metropolis with colorful history, elegant customs and modern atmosphere.
