00:00:33To seek cultural markers, see
00:00:36historical enlightenment
00:00:39, to manage and connect cultural脉
00:00:42, only the
00:00:45Spring and Autumn of ancient and modern times.
00:00:54The city is on the sea
00:00:57, and the sea is in the city.
00:01:02In the Minnan region, it is not the oldest
00:01:06, but it carries a clear and romantic
00:01:09essence in the embrace of mountains and seas
00:01:11. This is a window
00:01:15to the world, and also a landmark
00:01:19for returning wanderers. Its character has the sharpness
00:01:22of mountains, and even more the vastness
00:01:26of the sea. In every tidal change
00:01:30, it completes a transformation from edge to center
00:01:34. Between mountains and seas, it always faces
00:01:38the world as a gateway
00:01:41. This is Fujian, Xiamen
00:01:45. Cultural heritage in Spring and Autumn. This program is sponsored
00:01:48by China's leading ecological baijiu brand, Yingjia Gongjiu, and
00:01:52broadcast exclusively . A
00:01:5554-kilometer-long trail runs through
00:01:59the entire city of Xiamen from the air , connecting the previously
00:02:03scattered mountains, forests, coastlines and urban landscapes into one
00:02:07long axis. From mountains to sea, from
00:02:10sea to mountains
00:02:13. Citizens and tourists can stroll in the air
00:02:16and experience Xiamen's unique mountain and sea
00:02:19landscape
00:02:22. Xiamen City is located in the southeast of Fujian Province
00:02:26, consisting of Siming District on Xiamen Island , and the surrounding
00:03:30area. Since ancient times, there has been a spirit of "seeking development by the sea"
00:03:33. The entire Zhangzhou region
00:03:37has always had a tradition of overseas trade
00:03:41. In
00:03:432007, a Song Dynasty merchant ship named Nanhai No. 1
00:03:47was salvaged from the waters off Guangdong
00:03:51.
00:03:53Among the as many as 180,000 cultural relics found on
00:03:57the ship, a large number were produced in Minnan
00:04:06, including Tong'an celadon from Xiamen. In the northwest of Tong'an District, Xiamen City, between layers of mountains
00:04:09, hides an ancient town
00:04:13named after a river, Tingxi.
00:04:17Tong'an celadon, also known as Zhuguang celadon
00:04:20.
00:04:22This kind of celadon has a delicate color of green in yellow
00:04:26and a texture of ripe avocado skin .
00:05:13During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, cargo ships loaded with porcelain followed
00:05:17the Tingxi River, which originated from the Daiyun Mountains, downstream and entered the first
00:05:20large river in Xiamen, the Xixi . At the Shuangxikou
00:05:24of Tong'an Ancient City, the Xixi and Dongxi rivers converge
00:05:28, and then enter Tong'an Bay, flowing south
00:05:31to the sea . From
00:05:34then on, ships sailed north along the coast
00:05:38, eventually reaching Quanzhou Bay , then the most famous port
00:05:42on the southeast coast of China
00:06:13. The Dongxi and Xixi rivers meet here
00:06:15. The ancient city of Tong'an is also located on
00:06:19the ancient transportation route connecting Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, where
00:06:23land and water routes converge and transit. This locational
00:06:27advantage also provided a good foundation
00:06:30for population
00:06:32aggregation
00:06:41. Today's Tong'an people still preserve
00:06:45the ancient Minguo customs
00:07:45. The Zhuzi Academy in Tong'an is part
00:07:49of the Tong'an Ancient County Yamen
00:07:52. Nowadays, it is a popular study and practice base
00:07:55in Tong'an
00:08:00. In the 23rd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty
00:08:04, Zhu Xi, who had just passed the imperial examination, was appointed
00:08:08as the magistrate of Tong'an . This was his
00:08:11first official position
00:08:15. This Confucian Temple, built during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty
00:08:19, is one of the most complete Confucian Temples
00:08:19in the Minnan region
00:08:23. During Zhu Xi's tenure as the magistrate of Tong'an
00:08:27, he linked the Confucian Temple with local schools, forming
00:08:31a pattern of a temple in front and a school behind. This directly promoted
00:08:35the development of academy education
00:08:36in Tong'an and even
00:08:40the Minnan region .
00:08:50With Zhangzhou as the main and Tong'an as the secondary
00:08:54, Tong'an formed such a well-known
00:08:57cultural and educational
00:08:59center on the coast
00:09:02. To the south of Tong'an Ancient City
00:09:06is Xiamen Island , where the main urban area of Xiamen is located
00:09:09. The ancient city of Tong'an was formed from Yunding Mountain to Laoxianya
00:09:25. Before Xiamen became the name of a city
00:09:28, Xiamen Island, which is now the main urban area , was just an island
00:09:32under the jurisdiction of Tong'an County . Because rice paddies
00:09:36were once planted on the island , it was also called Jiaheyu
00:09:39. In the Ming Dynasty, it was also called Jiaheshan .
00:10:13But with every surge of the lake water ,
00:10:17the stirring of the current brought up fish and shrimp
00:10:20from the bottom of the lake . Attracting a large number
00:10:24of egrets to feed here
00:10:37. Watching egrets by the lake has become a classic experience for Xiamen citizens. Xiamen has a warm and humid subtropical marine climate, and Yimei Island is surrounded by sea on all sides. In the long course of
00:10:41history , it has been rarely affected
00:10:45by human activities .
00:10:47Egrets gather
00:10:50all year round in the coastal wetlands
00:10:52.
00:11:05In the southwest of Siming District of Xiamen City, between
00:11:09the streets, a dilapidated ancient city wall hides
00:11:24the earliest history of Xiamen City
00:11:37. This place is not only the end of the mountain range entering the sea, but also the gateway for the Minnan plain to open up to the ocean . Zhongzuo's establishment
00:11:41here is equivalent to pushing
00:11:45the military defense line from the mainland coastline
00:11:48to the sea . The establishment
00:11:50of Zhongzuo ended Xiamen Island's long
00:12:12history of being outside the law. The sea ban policy, which began in the early Ming Dynasty, caused the once prosperous Quanzhou secondary port to gradually decline. A large number of desperate merchants had to find new trading
00:12:16places .
00:12:20From the late 16th century to the early 17th
00:12:23century, the trade status of the secondary port was gradually
00:12:47taken over by Xiamen Port. Facing the exponential growth
00:12:50of maritime trade , Zhangzhou
00:12:54, located in the internal waterway of the Jiulong River
00:13:08, and Kinmen Island to the east, greatly weakened the impact of the northeast monsoon . This made Xiamen Port a deep-water
00:13:12port with calm waves
00:13:16. Here, it is destined to take over the legacy of Yue Port
00:13:19and open a new chapter in the ocean
00:13:22. From the perspective of the theory of port
00:13:26development, there is a model called
00:13:30"Aniport" , which means that the
00:13:34changes of a port have a certain
00:13:37pattern, gradually evolving from a place relatively upstream
00:13:41at the estuary to downstream. Xiamen
00:13:44Port can also be seen as an outer port of Zhangzhou Yue Port
00:13:48. In this way, it can better adapt to the trend
00:13:52of large-scale shipping .
00:13:59In 1661, Zheng Chenggong launched an army
00:14:03from Kinmen Island and recovered Taiwan
00:14:06the following year
00:14:08. This is the first Confucian Temple built by Zheng Chenggong
00:14:12after recovering Taiwan . Every spring
00:14:16and autumn, people from all over the island come
00:14:20here to jointly commemorate Confucius, the sage and teacher of the Chinese
00:14:23nation for more than two thousand years
00:14:27. After recovering Taiwan, Zheng Chenggong established the administrative system
00:14:31according to the Ming Dynasty . Chinese culture
00:14:34flourished in Taiwan
00:14:36.
00:14:40Zheng Chenggong regarded operating the ocean as the foundation
00:14:44for restoring the country and strengthening the army . Centered on Xiamen Island
00:14:48and Kinmen Island, his power extended widely
00:14:50overseas
00:15:30.
00:15:49This lighthearted folk song, "Diudiu Tong" , originated from the joyful mood
00:15:52of Taiwanese workers in Yilan more than 200 years ago, who heard
00:15:56the sound of dripping water in the cave
00:16:00. "Diudiu Tong" simulates the sound of dripping water
00:16:03. Today, this song has become a shared cultural symbol
00:16:08across the strait , witnessing the cultural connection
00:16:12between Minnan and Taiwan
00:16:27Museum in Shanghai, staff recreated
00:16:31a model of an ancient Chinese shipwreck based on historical
00:16:34records . The Tek Sing
00:16:39. In 1822, the Tek Sing , carrying nearly two thousand people
00:16:43and a large number of porcelain
00:16:46, sailed from Xiamen Port to Indonesia
00:16:50and sank after hitting a reef . This is the largest
00:16:54wooden ocean-going merchant ship found
00:16:57in Chinese waters to date
00:17:01. The ship was nearly 60 meters long and weighed
00:17:04over a thousand tons
00:17:37. Sailing from there . The
00:17:41Tek Sing set off from Xiamen
00:17:44and then went to Indonesia . Because we started
00:17:48from Xiamen, there were
00:17:50many ships
00:17:53. A considerable number of Chinese merchants. So
00:17:57Xiamen itself was one of
00:18:00the earliest ports for the export
00:18:03of Chinese goods
00:18:16. This place is called Lianfuzhou , and now it is also called Liantang
00:18:20Villa. This was built by my
00:18:24great-grandfather, Mr. Chen Bingyou, who did
00:18:27rice business
00:18:29in Nanyang
00:18:32. After the Opium War, Xiamen became an open
00:18:36trading port on the southeast coast
00:19:09of our country . Liantang Villa is based on
00:19:13the staggered architectural style of Minnan, while also incorporating the landlord's experiences
00:19:17in Nanyang . Inside
00:19:21are stone figures of male
00:19:24servants. This is equivalent to a modern
00:19:28security guard . And this
00:19:31one is the image of a foreign
00:19:35nanny. This is equivalent
00:19:41to a modern domestic helper
00:19:44. From the weak China, overseas Chinese had to work hard
00:19:47to earn the respect of others . This
00:19:51Liantang Villa, covering an area of about 30,000 square meters , is different from ordinary
00:19:55residences. It consists of Liantang Dazuo for living
00:19:58, ancestral temple for worship , and Liantang Academy for education
00:20:02, arranged in a "pin" character shape
00:20:05. Corresponding to the Confucian ideas of self-cultivation, family management
00:20:09, and governing the country . It is more about
00:20:13passing on the family heritage and bringing glory to the ancestors. This is the patriotism
00:20:16in the blood of overseas Chinese
00:20:30. Probably two or three years old. Then
00:20:34came here with my parents to study, from Jimei Kindergarten
00:20:38to Jimei Primary School , then to Jimei Middle School and High School
00:20:41, and then to Jimei University
00:20:43. I completed my studies
00:21:20in Jimei School Village . We must pay attention
00:21:23to practical and beautiful things
00:21:25, and also be able
00:21:29to show our openness
00:21:32to the outside world
00:21:37. After a hundred years of pain in modern times
00:21:41, the Chinese people's awareness of awakening and self-strengthening has been integrated
00:21:45into the inner mechanism of this city, transforming
00:21:49into its confidence to grow forward
00:22:26. In the early 20th century , overseas Chinese who returned
00:22:30from their wanderings not only brought foreign flavors
00:22:34, but also accumulated wealth and broad
00:22:37vision . Driven by overseas Chinese
00:22:41capital, Xiamen successively built a modern road network
00:22:45of four horizontal and one vertical
00:22:46along the Lujiang River
00:23:21. And its western end points to the other side
00:23:24of Lujiang River . Across the strait, which is
00:23:28less than 500 meters wide , is a verdant and majestic
00:23:32volcanic island, Gulangyu . After Xiamen
00:23:34opened its port , this small island, which is
00:23:38close to Xiamen Island, became the forefront
00:23:41of cultural exchange
00:23:42between China and the West in modern times
00:25:34. After that, several generations of scholars continued to explore, and finally established the Hanyu Pinyin scheme
00:25:36that is commonly used nationwide today
00:25:38. The promotion and popularization of Hanyu Pinyin provided
00:25:42an important tool for modern literacy education
00:25:46. The literacy rate of the Chinese people increased from about 20%
00:26:04in the early days of the founding of New China to over 8% today. The sound of listening is still echoing, and another form of expression has taken shape in Gulangyu
00:26:23. Every spring, the kapok trees on Gulangyu bloom
00:26:27, also inspiring poets and writers
00:26:30.
00:27:19The writer Lin Yutang went from here to the world, telling the West about Chinese wisdom in English. Lin Qiaozhi, the mother of tens of thousands of babies , set off from here
00:27:23, embracing life with her benevolent
00:27:26hands. The modern Chinese sports educator Ma Yohan advocated
00:27:30saving the country through sports here
00:29:32. Regardless of the ebb and flow
00:29:36, the memory of the sea will continue to reach afar
00:29:40. Cultural
00:29:43heritage in Spring and Autumn. This program is sponsored by China's leading ecological baijiu brand
