What are the characteristics and essence of Wuyue culture?

1, all rivers run into sea. On the one hand, it is soil and water conservation, on the other hand, it is humanism, which traces back to the (long) river, surrounds the (Taihu) lake and borders the sea, which has created the cultural habits and humanistic spirit of the founders of Wuyue culture, and also doomed this culture to be born with an open mind.

2, smart, smart and wise. The creation and inheritance of Wuyue culture is not only the creation of superior geographical environment, but also the crystallization of economic and social development. The wisdom and cleverness of Wuyue people from generation to generation not only endows the splendid Jiangnan with unique femininity, but also casts the aesthetic orientation and value recognition embodied in these exquisite and elegant cultural forms. It has become a common practice to attach importance to education and respect talents.

3. Seek truth from facts. Wuyue's commodity economy is in the leading position, and the citizen class formed earlier. Industrial tradition, business spirit, pragmatic personality and civilian style are all indispensable contents in Wu-Yue culture, including Shanghai culture.

4. Dare to be the first and surpass yourself. Being good at creation and being brave in innovation are the common characteristics of Wuyue culture and Shanghai culture, and they are also the endogenous driving force of this dynamic regional culture.

Wuyue culture has its unique symbolic forms, such as boating, farming, printed hard pottery, mound tombs, hanging coffins, bravery and martial arts, obscenity and tattoos, which are recorded in many pre-Qin classics. Along the way from Hemudu culture and Liangzhu culture, after thousands of years of ups and downs, Wuyue culture remains the same.

"Wu Culture" and "Yue Culture" and "Vulgarity and Vulgarity" have gradually formed a unified cultural type through mutual blending, agitation, evolution and integration.

Extended data:

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the territory of Wuyue culture was distinct. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the face of Wu culture in Ningzhen area changed obviously, and the factors of Wu culture in Taihu area also increased. These changes are reflected in the tombs.

A large number of bronzes were unearthed from the mound tombs in Ningzhen area and the tombs in the Western Zhou Dynasty. These bronzes were similar to those in the Central Plains, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, especially in the late Spring and Autumn Period, there were few bronzes. In the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period, although there were many porcelains, there were almost no beans.

Wei ware was the cooking utensil in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was mainly kettle and tripod, and Wei ware was rarely seen. Judging from these changes, the Central Plains factor has obviously decreased, while the Vietnamese cultural factor has gradually increased and finally occupied a dominant position. This shows that the Yue culture has infiltrated and assimilated the Wu culture. Such a drastic change can only be caused by Vietnamese invasion. This is consistent with the wuyue rebellion in the history books. ?
