Fantasy Zhangzhou: An appointment to travel to the mountains and seas together
Zhangzhou is a cultural city with a history of over 1300 years. Minnan culture and Hakka legends meet here, and the remains of Fujian and Vietnam, as well as the historical sites of the Maritime Silk Road, continue here. Recently, Zhangzhou, Fujian, with intangible cultural heritage such as "cloth puppet show", "Zhangzhou Paper Cuttings", "ancient early food", etc., made an appearance in Shanghai, inviting everyone to come to Flower Zhangzhou for an appointment with the mountains and seas.
"Dong, Dong, Dong... demolding." At the promotion event, square shaped pastries were pressed flat in the hands of workers, flipped over and knocked out, neatly placed on the desk. This is the intangible cultural heritage of Fujian Province, Jiaqing Dongmei Cake, which has a history of more than 300 years and is regarded as a first-class tea food by people.
On stage, the vivid and lifelike national intangible cultural heritage "Puppetry Puppetry" fully showcases the extraordinary charm of "a small stage with big hands and big universe". In the performance of the world-class intangible cultural heritage "Paper Cuttings art in Zhangzhou", Paper Cuttings masters cut their hands and flowers under the paper, complementing the graceful dance movements of ballet dancers around them.

"Fujian and Shanghai have a long history and profound cultural heritage. In history, the two places have frequent political, economic, and cultural exchanges. Nowadays, Shanghai is the forefront window of reform and opening up and an international metropolis where Chinese and Western civilizations converge. Zhangzhou is a representative of Minnan culture and a new star in coastal cities." Yu Xianghong, Deputy Mayor of Zhangzhou Municipal People's Government, said, "Our trip is not only to 'learn from the classics and ask questions', but also to showcase the scenery of Zhangzhou. We look forward to traveling in both directions with all guests and achieving mutual success."
Mr. Lin Yutang, a world cultural master born in Zhangzhou, once deeply lamented that "my hometown is the best place in the world.". Mr. Yutang has a close relationship with Shanghai. He studied at St. John's University in Shanghai and taught at Dongwu University in Shanghai. He is one of the representatives of modern Shanghai style literati. During his time in Shanghai, he founded the Analects magazine and edited the bimonthly editions of "The World" and "The Wind of the Universe". In the early 1930s, humor literature in China emerged and was closely related to Mr. Yutang's experiences in Shanghai.
In Zhangzhou, the most difficult food to give up is called "Ancient Early Taste", which is the Fried white radish patty often found on the dinner table in your hometown in Mr. Yutang's memory, the colorful peanut in Mr. Xu Dishan's writing, the sugar cane longan in Mr. Yang Sao's poetry, and the nostalgia that every traveler will never forget.
