Think of Jiaxing as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival arrives? People in the Yangtze River Delta have this natural association, mostly because Jiaxing Zongzi is indispensable in the expressway service area of the Yangtze River Delta. Several well-known Zongzi brands, Wufangzhai and Zhenzhen Laolao are also Jiaxing brands.

Jiaxing also intends to use the Dragon Boat Festival to build its urban brand image and attract more people to visit Jiaxing. Speaking of the folk activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as dragon boat racing, eating Zongzi, and wearing sachets, there are many. But linking these traditional cultures together to form a systematic and complete Dragon Boat Festival folk festival activity system, Jiaxing was the earliest to take action. As early as 1997, Jiaxing began to hold traditional festivals such as the South Lake Folk Culture Festival and the Jiaxing South Lake Boat Culture Festival, hoping to recreate a long lost batch of traditional folk activities such as the Lotus Lantern Festival and the Jiangnan Net Boat Festival. By 2006, Jiaxing had combined the local Zongzi culture and the legend of Wu Zixu with the theme of the Dragon Boat Festival to reorganize and link the original folk cultural activities. Among a series of folk activities, dragon boat racing and sacrificing the Five Ministers are the highlights of each year. Jiaxing is one of the birthplaces of Wu Yue culture, and the origin of the local dragon boat racing custom is also quite rooted - not to commemorate Qu Yuan who carried stones and sank the river, but to commemorate Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn period. In today's Jiaxing, during the Dragon Boat Festival, not only can one watch intense dragon boat races and white boat performances, but also feel people's commemoration and mourning for Wu Xiang at places such as the Wuzixu Temple on the south lake or the Xushan Ruins Park. Zongzi is another typical representative of Jiaxing Dragon Boat Festival folk custom. In recent years, with the continuous innovation of Wufangzhai, Zhenzhen Laolao and other Zongzi enterprises, Zongzi has become another golden card of Jiaxing. In Jiaxing's annual folk culture festival, Zongzi is always a worthy protagonist. For example, the high-profile Zongzi Wrapping Contest involves not only professional players selected by Zongzi production enterprises, but also different groups such as foreign friends and local citizens. The Dragon Boat Festival Folk Culture Festival in Jiaxing has been held continuously for many years, and in recent years, relying on the "Dragon Boat Festival Folk Brand", Jiaxing has tasted a lot of sweetness. For example, in 2008, Jiaxing was listed as one of the first ethnic traditional festival protection bases in Zhejiang; In 2010, the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Research Base was established in Jiaxing; In 2011, Jiaxing Dragon Boat Festival customs were included in the national intangible cultural heritage list... In recent years, the topic of how old traditions can be revitalized and how traditional culture can attract young people has always touched the hearts of many people, and various regions are actively exploring. For example, the advertising of Zongzi in Jiaxing has become very innovative, and various types of advertisements, such as retro, science fiction, and Guoman, have been launched, and even entered the Yuan universe; Shaoxing, the neighbor of Jiaxing, has been hosting the Huangjiu Festival for many years, and is also trying to make it more youthful and fashionable, launching derivatives such as Huangjiu Bangbing and Huangjiu Milk Tea. Old traditions should not become stubborn. It's better to give young people who love traditional culture more space to play and try new tricks. Perhaps they can make their annual festivals more colorful. This year's Jiaxing Dragon Boat Festival Folk Culture Festival opened today. From June 21st to 24th, Jiaxing will hold a series of cultural activities at a high density. In addition to traditional zongzi wrapping competitions and dragon boat races, you can also immerse yourself in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is rich in Song Dynasty culture, enjoy lively and joyful dragon and lion dance performances, and participate in children's play events for the entire family. At the Song Yun Market in Duanyang Daji, people can not only drink and compete with NPC poet Li Bai to win special drinks, but

During the summer vacation, various theme parks, fairy tale towns, and other places are bustling with people. In contrast, Wuyi County in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, which is striving to build a "hometown of fairy tales", appears somewhat desolate. This mountainous county was famous for its hot springs in the early years, and in recent years, it has proposed the "Fairy Tale Wuyi" urban brand, planning to create a highland for Chinese fairy tale culture and creativity. To this end, Wuyi established a specialized working organization called "Fairy Tale Office" and held 8 "Fairy Tale Congresses". However, the results were somewhat less than expected. The counterattack of mountainous counties is deeply related to the concept of fairy tales and children's literature in Wuyi. "Wuyi's fairy tales, aside from their historical origins, first have soup and then concepts," Wang Xiaoling, Executive Deputy Director of Wuyi County Fairy Tale Office, explained to reporters. Tang Tang is the Vice Chairman of Zhejiang Writers Association and a well-known children's literature writer in China. Tang Tang has mentioned multiple times that since childhood, she has

When it comes to bad fish, people in Jiangnan understand it, but when it comes to bad fish, many people are confused. In fact, both "zao" and "gui" refer to the method of marinating fish and vegetables with seasonings. "鲊" initially only referred to the pickling of fish, and as they were pickled, they became something that could be pickled by all things. When marinating fish, use rice and salt as seasoning. When making rice, either by pressing it with a stone or twisting it inside a cloth, it is done to remove moisture and add flavor, hence the word "rice". Wrapped in a lotus leaf, it is highly favored by famous scholars. In the summer of the third year of the Changqing reign of the Tang Dynasty, with the sound of cicadas singing in the fields of lotus leaves, Yuan Zhen went to Yuezhou and passed by Hangzhou on the way. Bai Juyi held a boat banquet on West Lake to welcome his friends and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. The table was filled with delicious dishes, including lotus fish buns and lotus leaf wrapped buns. Lotus room fish buns are made by taking fresh lotus seeds, digging them out one by one, filling them with small fish balls, and steaming them until cooked. The freshness of the fish meat is accompanied by the freshness of the lotus seeds

A while ago, the government research group of Hailing District, Taizhou City, published "Zibo Barbecue is So Popular, What can Taizhou do?" The key to learning from Taizhou Hailing lies in how to make the renewal and transformation of Taizhou's old city smoother: like Zibo, Hailing, which is also in the midst of transformation, is the main carrier of Taizhou's national historical and cultural city.
