🦋麻雀變鳳凰，上海縣700年
After the Wuchang Uprising, the revolutionary army ambushed at the Ship King’s residence in Shanghai. After the nine tolls of the bell at Xiaonanmen, They rushed towards the Shanghai Taoist Office. Since then, Shanghai has been completely free. The year 2023 is almost over.
This year happens to be the 180th anniversary of the opening of Shanghai. I just found out about this. I think many things may be buried. But there will always be people who carry on. Objectively speaking, Shanghai’s development after its opening relied on openness.
This kind of openness is also an inclusive openness towards the poor. Some people say that Shanghai has a history of 6,000 years. Whether it’s the origin or the foundation of Shanghai, or the essence of Shanghai, they are just accumulations that have nurtured this land.
And the reason why Shanghai has become the Shanghai of today is closely related to its opening. If it hadn’t been opened, Shanghai would probably still be a small coastal county town. There would be no “Magic City” (referring to Shanghai). There would be no modern international metropolis. How many years has Shanghai existed?
Actually, it’s very controversial. In history, Shanghai was once called Huating. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Shanghai had an official administrative office. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Shanghai became a town. During the Yuan Dynasty, Shanghai became a county. The prototype of present-day Shanghai
Can be traced back to the establishment of the county in 1292. Have you noticed? After 1992, there are no more year markers on the dial. Indeed, in 1992, 700 years later,Shanghai County officially disappeared from history. It merged with today’s Minhang District and became the new Minhang.
As a Shanghai native, I am also amazed about where is the orignal of Shanghai 43 00:01:19,533 –> 00:01:22,299 But Shanghai officially stepped onto the historical stage And looking back at its origins Shanghai County is now Minhang Should have its status
At the beginning of Shanghai County, it was only over 20,000 acres Calculating based on the epidemic area at that time, which was 33,333 square meters At that time The area of Shanghai County was approximately six to seven hundred square kilometers Only about 1/10 of the current area Turning east at Huangpu Bay
Wusong River flows peacefully This poem Written by Lu Shen, a Shanghai poet from the Ming Dynasty, about Jiangdong Bamboo He depicted the scene of Huangpu capturing Song Huangpu River became a mighty river flowing into the sea And Wusong River gradually calmed down Quietly becoming today’s Suzhou River
Speaking of Lu Shen and Lujiazui Mansion His ancestor Lu Xun was introduced in a previous episode He was a strategist of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period Lujiazui is the dwelling place of his descendants Capturing Song at Huangpu Is the historical feat that led to Shanghai’s current international status
Speaking of its rich water system Although it achieved The status of a prosperous fishing and transportation hub in ancient Shanghai It also created many troubles At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty Natural disasters and man-made calamities were constant Wusong River
Which is the Suzhou River, accumulated a large amount of water that couldn’t be drained With the decline of people’s livelihoods and the heavy burden on the Jiangnan region, People’s grievances are rising. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent Yuan Ji to Songjiang Prefecture to control the water. At that time, Shanghai was subordinate to Songjiang.
In order to fundamentally solve the long-standing water problems, Xia Yuanji met a local scholar in Shanghai named Ye Zongren And adopted his suggestions. It changed the situation of only draining the Wusong River. After field investigations and summarizing years of experience, The plan of Jiangpu converging was determined.
It took two years and a total of 200,000 people to build, completed in the 2nd year of Yongle. Finally, today’s Huangpu River was built. In 1570, another prominent historical figure, Hai Rui, Came here. He keenly felt that the Huangpu River’s seizure of the Wusong River was unstoppable.
So he proposed the idea of the Huangpu River flowing into the sea. From then on, the pattern of Shanghai was completely opened. What was even more unexpected was It laid the groundwork for the future opening of Shanghai. And it also nurtured unique natural conditions
You must not be young anymore if you have seen circuit boards. Ten Li Hongzhuang This is one of the dowries. In the previous two episodes, we mentioned “Yi Bei Tian Xia.” Relying on the excellent quality and technology of Shanghai cloth, Continuously improving, Shanghai has become the center of the Far East’s cotton industry.
For thousands of years, it has been treated as a tribute and flowed to various parts of the world. And these large and small spinning machines Were the banknote printing machines of that year. Their inventor was Huang Daopo. A genuine Shanghai woman. Shanghai people have not forgotten
The favor that led the entire Shanghai people. In the county of Shanghai In the city center back then A shrine was built for Huang Daopo Later generations worshipped Huang Daopo as Xianmian So it is called Xianmian Temple Xianmian Temple used to be on this street
This extremely narrow street is called Xianmian Temple Street Xianmian Temple no longer exists Fortunately, there is this old photo Look, he still resembles the past to some extent Shanghai’s Yu Garden Crowded with tourists Shanghai’s prosperity seems to be divinely assisted Next to Yu Garden is the City God Temple
A temple dedicated to the distinctive features of Shanghai Enshrining three City God deities One of them is Qin Yubo The only Shanghai native among them City God worship reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty Shanghai Because it already had a considerable population and economic scale at that time
It also welcomed its own City God The front hall enshrines Huo Guang According to legend, it is related to Sun Hao of the Three Kingdoms And the back hall is dedicated to Qin Yubo His path to becoming immortal can be described as a conspiracy
Qin Gong had rejected Zhu Yuanzhang’s appointment orders three times Which greatly displeased Zhu Yuanzhang After Qin Yubo’s death Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t help but sigh, “He was not my subject in his lifetime.” “Let him be my guardian in death.” So Zhu Yuanzhang bestowed the title of Shanghai City God Lord on Qin Yubo
That’s it. That’s it. Qin Gong was forced to become a statue guarding Shanghai. During the Kangxi and Yongzheng eras, the maritime trade ban was lifted, and Shanghai Port developed rapidly. Jianghai Customs was established, and the Shanghai Dao Office was established.
As a meticulous empiricist, I personally went to the location of the former Dao Office. The place looks so dilapidated, but it used to be the bustling city center. Remember this broken house at the corner. This is the place that rewrote Chinese history. Xundao Street used to be the administrative center of Shanghai.
The name of the street comes from the former Shanghai Dao Office. And the building at this corner is called Yijiatang. It was the mansion of Yu Songnian, a shipping magnate in late Qing Dynasty. It was located near the Taoist yamen. During the revolution, the revolutionary army rushed out of Yijiatang
And captured the Taoist yamen. Shanghai was liberated. What was the Bund like before it was opened? It’s right in front of us. At that time, the Bund was just a wasteland with weeds and reeds by the Huangpu River. There was a small path along the river that was trampled by porters.
At that time, the Huangpu River bank was a muddy area formed during the flooding of the Huangpu River. There was no magnificent waterfront like today. There were only slums and cemeteries. The first thing foreigners did when they came to the Bund was to build docks. With the docks, foreign goods could be unloaded.
With a wharf, China’s goods can be loaded onto ships. The English name for the Bund comes from the Hindi word “bund,” meaning embankment. In 1848, the British Road and Wharf Committee built a cobblestone kerosene road along the inner side of the Huangpu River on the Bund. The wharf and the scattered foreign buildings
Were separated by it. A road was painted on the beach along the Huangpu River. Houses of various foreign firms along the riverbank were gradually built, At that time, this type of boat floating on the Huangpu River was called a sand boat. The sand boat was not a sand transport ship,
But had the ability to defend against sand and prevent grounding. Sand boats, along with Fujian floating ships, Guangdong Guang ships, and Zhejiang bird ships, are hailed as the four famous ancient ships of China. The aforementioned Shanghai ship king Yu Songnian owned 200 sand boats at that time,
Earning him the nickname “Half of Yu”. The cotton and sand boats depicted on Shanghai’s emblem were the key to Shanghai’s prosperity. With the opening of the maritime ban and frequent international trade, the modern face of Shanghai gradually emerged, spurring the growth of domestic demand. As the lights came on,
In the late 19th century, foreigners opened many trading companies in Shanghai, engaging in the export of silk, tea, tobacco, and other goods. Shanghai’s foreign trade brought about a large number of industrial and commercial activities, attracting a significant amount of foreign investment. This period marked the beginning of Shanghai’s commercial
Had a profound impact on Shanghai’s economy and culture. 215 00:07:47,800 –> 00:07:49,200 The continuous influx of foreign capital also brought a large number of adventurers. The completion of the Ministry of Industry building in 1922. It was the highest administrative center in Shanghai at that time.
In the late Qing Dynasty, under the pressure of various countries, Shanghai finally opened in 1843. And this year 2023, It happens to be the 180th anniversary of the opening of Shanghai. Looking back at the opening of Shanghai, It is also looking forward to China’s future. After the opening, Shanghai had a far-reaching debate.
The debate over the separation of Chinese and Western cultures and the coexistence of Chinese and Western cultures. The debate over Shanghai’s city walls. The debate over the status of the concessions. All these debates and discussions At that time, the starting point was municipal governance, The core is reform, The result is
Promote further opening and development of the city. After the opening of Shanghai, It did not develop through military victory Or gaining resources. Objectively speaking, The development of Shanghai after the opening relied on openness. This kind of openness is also a kind of inclusiveness for the poor.
Some people say that Shanghai has a history of 6,000 years. Whether it is the source or the root of Shanghai, Or the foundation of Shanghai, It only nurtured the texture of this land. And the reason why Shanghai has become today’s Shanghai Has a great relationship with the opening. If there was no opening,
Shanghai until now Might just be a small coastal county town. There would be no “Magic City” (referring to Shanghai) And there would not be a modern international metropolis.
2023年就要結束了，
今年是上海開埠180年
大家小心翼翼的追述這段歷史，
大家懷念的並非殖民歷史本身，
而更多的思考是，
上海是如何在那段時間迅速走向世界的
这或许会给2024年带来点新的气象
