In the 25th year of Ying Zheng, King of Qin (222 BC), Shangyu set up a county. It has a history of more than 2200 years and is one of the earliest counties in Zhejiang. It is unique in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration with a long history, prosperous culture, beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. Objectively examining the natural features, material resources, cultural achievements and human landscapes accumulated in Shangyu in the historical process of more than 2,000 years, the rich and distinctive historical culture is undoubtedly the most valuable and potential element of Shangyu. 1. Cultural Geography and Humanities of Shangyu Shangyu is an important source of Chinese farming civilization-the origin of Hemudu culture and one of the core areas of Yue culture. There are five-star village sites on the first floor of Hemudu culture, and Niutoushan sites equivalent to Hemudu culture on the third and second floors. Yue culture originated from Hemudu culture and flourished through Majiabang culture and Liangzhu culture. Yue culture not only had a great influence on the ancient civilizations in the south of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River valley, but also made the southeast region in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River another cradle of Chinese civilization. It is also the only culture that crossed the sea into Korea and Japan and went south to Southeast Asia and Oceania via Taiwan Province Province. The ancient context, facing the geographical location of the ocean (Hangzhou Bay), makes Shangyu, as the core area of Yue culture, have at least the following positions in cultural geography. 1, Shangyu is an important derivative of ancient tribal culture. "Shun avoids being a hundred officials", "Shun and princes will finish their work and go to Shangyu for mutual entertainment" and "Dayu is stationed in Xiagaishan", all of which prove that Shangyu is not only an important activity place for ancient Shun and Yu tribes, but also an important derivative of tribal culture represented by Shun, Yu and Guyue. 2. Shangyu is one of the centers of manufacturing culture in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Shangyu has been famous all over the country for its wine making, porcelain burning, tea making and smelting. Niu Shan was the smelting and casting place of Yue at that time, and the smelting technology of knives, hoes, sickles and other ironware unearthed in Jinyinshan has reached a quite high level. Especially in the middle of Shang Dynasty, Zhang zhen and other places used laminated "Dragon Kiln" to burn hard pottery with patterns and porcelain with green glaze, which directly initiated the origin of Yue Kiln celadon in Xiaoxiantan area of Han Dynasty and made it the birthplace of China celadon. 3. Shangyu is an important platform for China's reclusive culture. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, celebrities of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, represented by Xie An, gathered in Dongshan, and Ji Kang, the seven sages of the bamboo forest, lived in seclusion in Guangling, which effectively promoted and encouraged the prosperity of China's seclusion culture. 4. Shangyu is a big nursery for China's academic culture. Wang Chong wrote Lun Heng, Wei Boyang wrote Zhouyi and Qi, Xie Lingyun wrote landscape poems, Zhang Xuecheng laid the foundation of modern local chronicles, Du Yaquan founded Yaquan magazine, Luo Zhenyu produced Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Ma Yifu is famous for his Chinese studies, and so on, making Shangyu an indispensable cradle of China's academic culture. As the core area of Yue culture, Shangyu's folk customs are basically similar to those of Wuyue cultural area in the south of the Yangtze River, but it has its own personality in regional characteristics. Shangyu people are known for their incorruptibility. "Learning to be excellent is an official, and ploughing is a weaving; Study hard and respect teachers; The most important folk feature of Shangyu is "honesty and morality". Although Shangyu is one of the core areas of Hemudu culture and Guyue culture, like most residents in the Yangtze River Delta, there are few "aborigines" in the true sense, and most of them are descendants of immigrants. Shangyu experienced three large-scale migrations from the Qin Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty. First, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he moved a group of Central Plains immigrants to Shaoxing and Shangyu on the south bank of Hangzhou Bay. Second, during the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, Wang Langya and Jiankang moved to the south of the Yangtze River, and Shaoxing and Shangyu became the settlements of Wang and Xie. 3. Lin 'an (Hangzhou) was designated as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Shaoxing became the capital. The royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty lived in Shaoxing for one year and eight months, and a large number of rulers, civil and military officials, troops and followers of the Southern Song Dynasty moved in from the north. In addition, Jiao Guangzan led the troops to surrender gold in the Song Dynasty, which denounced him as a "fallen man". Most of the "degenerates" who moved to Zhejiang were concentrated in Shaoxing, Shangyu and Shengzhou. In this sense, Shangyu's humanistic culture is not only based on Yue culture, but also the product of integration and blending with foreign northern culture and Central Plains culture to a great extent. In fact, this is precisely the vitality of Shangyu's humanistic culture.
