How about Xiangfan, Hubei?

Xiangfan City, Hubei Province, which is now Xiangyang City. As a Xiangyang person, let me talk about my personal feelings.

Xiangfan impression

That's because Xiangfan has not created culture and sanitation, so garbage and vehicles are parked everywhere on the road, there are many shanty towns, and some urban areas have no hardened land. Therefore, the face value is not enough, and there are not many tall buildings. Especially on the banks of Fancheng in the Han River, there are only a few shabby high-rise buildings. My mother comes from a second-tier city in Jiangsu, so in her original words, it's like a big county town with dilapidated roads and no tall buildings.

Xiangyang impression

Now Xiangyang, which was Xiangfan a few years ago, has been selected as the sub-central city of Hubei Province and the central city of Hanjiang River, and its status has been greatly improved. In the same year, Hubei began to build "four Xiangyang" strategies: industrial Xiangyang, urban Xiangyang, cultural Xiangyang and green Xiangyang. In recent years, we have begun to transform shanty towns, build new cities, relocate old markets, transform road networks, dismantle illegal construction, transform both sides of the Han River, and enhance the value of Xiangyang. In terms of soft power, Xiangyang has built cultural health, cultural industry, museums, libraries, civic sports centers and other buildings, greatly improving the quality of citizens. High-speed railway station, subway and other public transport construction were also planned in previous years. At present, high-speed railway station has started construction, and the subway has passed the technical review.

finally

Xiangyang has really changed a lot. This year's Xiangyang International Marathon will be held on the 29th of this month, with at least 15000 participants. Will be broadcast live on CCTV 5 for more than 150 minutes. At that time, everyone can see whether the construction of Xiangyang has made progress.

The biggest problem in Xiangyang is the government's inaction, and the serious lack of Scientific Outlook on Development ... A hasty change of leadership and a new idea ended before it started! Shenzhen Industrial Park, Yuedong Industrial Park, Jin Dong New District, Zhou Yuliang Tourism Development Zone, Yujiahu Baokang Industrial Park, Yin Ji urban-rural integration, Pan-West New District, and large-scale demolition and construction have all been split in half. Which one succeeded? Which one forms scale and benefit?

It is also in Xiangfan. I remember in 1990, I was a boy of 17, 8 years old. I went to Xiangfan alone to see a doctor and hurried past the railway station with my bag on my back. A woman holding a bag of oranges deliberately touched my hand, dropped the bag, and then dragged me to buy the bag of oranges. I took 100 yuan to buy oranges, and watched her give me more than 80 yuan in change. She is very agile. I know I met a liar, but I have no choice. I didn't even have money to eat, so I had to buy a ticket home with the remaining ten dollars and go home hungry. Until now, I have a very bad impression of Xiangfan, knowing that the people there are of low quality and there are many liars.

I'm from Xiangyang, but it's really hard to get close to. Only when you want to buy a seat ticket in other places will you pass by. The first time I went to Xiangyang, I went to the zoo there. 1996. Everything is so depressing. A tiger is scrawny lying on the ground with a lot of dirty things stuck to it. The chain of the rockery is full of children and very thin! It is worth mentioning that a peacock opened its screen while watching! This summer, I came to Xiangyang again at close range. There were high-rise buildings everywhere, and the house price soared like chicken blood. The roads in Dongdong New District have been widened and the green belts are lush, which makes people expect it to speed up the construction of high-speed subways and venues for citizens' physical fitness activities.

Xiangyang, a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties, has the widest moat in Asia and is known as "the first city in China". Historically, it has been called "Xiangyang made of iron".

Xiangyang, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side, is the "throat" of the north and south, guarding the main road of Hanshui River, and is known as the "waist of the world". Borrowing Jingzhou in the south, crossing Jianghan Plain can lead directly to the Yangtze River and Yichang in the west, which can lock the entire Three Gorges Ferry out of Sichuan.

With this terrain, Xiangyang debuted in C position at any time.

A river and clear water pass through the city, and ten miles of green hills and a half enter the city. The sliding door in Xiangyang is Hanshui, where there is a bustling atmosphere and burnt bones buried in troubled times, showing the bravery in the bones of Chu people.

Generation after generation, the rivers and lakes and Xiangyang City described by Mr. Jin Yong have been mentioned many times, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong put forward "the great man of chivalry" here, and Xiangyang became the center of rivers and lakes, and its reputation spread far and wide.

Don't say you are a famous hero until you are a hero of Xiangyang and climb the Xiangyang Tower. Xiangyang Tower, nirvana in the fire in the rivers and lakes, is comparable to the Avenue of Stars of Wulin people.

Xiangyang's chivalry comes from rivers and lakes, but it is not a legend of rivers and lakes. Xiangyang city has a stubborn character in history, and the martial arts stories only depict some chivalrous feelings in the iron temperament.

The whole city is full of blood to fight the epidemic. Do you know how "Iron Xiangyang" is?

In reality, Xiangyang did resist the Mongolian attack for 40 years. Genghis Khan fought in the south and fought in the north, invincible. But when the Mongols arrived in Xiangyang, they stopped prancing. Many brave soldiers fought from grassland teenagers to white hair. They didn't transport tents into Xiangyang City.

After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the veterans of both sides negotiated peacefully, and history stepped into glory, and life gradually faded away, stopping the killing of life and getting the laughter on the Han River.

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Wuhan fell. The Japanese army's manic eyes stared at Xiangyang. Xiangyang people once again defended their hometown with blood and cruelty. The two sides fought a tug-of-war for six years. Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the elders of Xiangyang still stood stubbornly on the wall and watched the Japanese army panic all the way.

Xiangyang's blood is not reckless, but comes from profound cultural wisdom. Of the 20 stories in Romance of the Three Kingdoms/KLOC-0, 32 took place in Xiangyang. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was well known in Wan Li that there were three points in the world, one fold and one fan. Zhuge Liang lived in Longzhong, Xiangyang in his early years, and Liu Guan and Zhang visited the thatched cottage to discuss the current situation in the world, resulting in the "Longzhong Dui" handed down from generation to generation. Later, "three points in the world, the momentum of the foot is also."

Xiangyang people are called the Hubei people with the least Hubei characteristics. Different from the shrewdness of the "nine-headed bird" in the impression, it has unexpected simplicity and enthusiasm.

Xiangyang accent is biased towards Henan, and Laohekou dialect is more than Henan, but Xiangyang dialect is still mixed with Shaanxi flavor on the whole. In Ouyang Xiu's words, it is "the language is light and slightly Qin". Dietary customs have their own characteristics. We don't eat duck neck and Regan Noodles here, but like to eat pasta such as beef noodles and beef offal noodles, especially drinking in life.

The top ten eccentrics in Xiangyang, "having wine for breakfast but not eating vegetables" and "inviting guests to have wine without eating vegetables", are all true portrayal of life customs. Xiangyang people not only fight, but also drink with the bravery and insolence of Chu people.
