Three Cultural Features of Cixi

Celadon, reclamation and immigrant culture.

During the Jin and Tang Dynasties, celadon from Shanglin Lake in Cixi was sold overseas, and the "Maritime Silk Road" leading to the world was established.

Cixi is also known as "the land of Tang and Song Dynasties", and its long history of reclamation has shaped the pioneering character of Cixi people.

Cixi's immigrant culture has a long history. Cixi has a tradition of foreign exchange and cooperation. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu, a famous scholar, set sail at Dapeng Mountain in Cixi and sailed eastward to Japan, which opened the prelude to foreign exchange.
