As an ancient city, Changzhi was not very well-known in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
However, in modern times, Changzhi has made indelible contributions to the course of China's history.
Today's Changzhi, in addition to being a landscape idyllic city to attract people for tourism, is also an old revolutionary base and a patriotic education base for continuing the red tradition.
In the modern Ming and Qing dynasties, it was low-key and simple.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that Changzhi was once again under the Han regime, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Mo, the king of Shen, who took up the domain.
Although King Shen was a courteous and sympathetic vassal king among the feudal domains.

Shen Fan's family style is relatively good, and his children do not have "the Xi of sound dogs and horses", so they are "called Xunliang" for officials (after the middle and late Wanli period, some children of the clan can participate in the imperial examination).
For example, Guiyang Zhizhou Huogong and Linqu Zhixian are all followers, while Zhu Huoqi of Qin'an Zhi County, Zhu Junzhu of Baishui Zhi County, and Zhu Junzhu of Zouping Zhi County were martyred and died.
But according to the Ming Dynasty's policy towards the clan, most of the time, these princes were pampered and high-ranking prisoners, so indulging in vocal music became their way of dissipating their boring time.
During the reign of Zhu Tianxuan, a descendant of King Shen, he integrated palace harmony and folk local dramas, which contributed to the birth of "Shangdang Bangzi".

Compared with the high-pitched, empty and desolate style of other three-way bangzi in Shanxi, "Shangdang Bangzi" has a trace of tactfulness and grace, representing the highest level of artistic value in Shanxi four-way bangzi.
Because during the Jiajing period, the little official Chen Qing launched a major uprising that swept through the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan, which alarmed Xia Yan, the first assistant at that time.
Xia Yan personally sat in Changzhi and commanded the counterinsurgency.
After the success, in order to strengthen the management of Luzhou, Xia Yan asked Emperor Jiajing to promote Luzhou as the government, and the city was set up as a county, and the name of the house was "Lu'an Mansion", and the county was named "Changzhi County", in order to pray for long-term peace and stability here.

This is the origin of "Changzhi", and at the same time, the county-level divisions in the prefecture were adjusted, and Huguan, Licheng, and Lucheng were divided into parts to form today's Pingshun County.
After the Qing court came to power, this was a battlefield where the Dashun regime and the Qing court repeatedly competed, causing the Changzhi people to form a fortress relying on the mountains to protect themselves.
In the Qing Dynasty, compared with the special group of Jin merchants, although the Changzhi merchants started early, they were generally lackluster.
But the Empress Dowager Cixi is rumored to be a Changzhi person. Although there is no clear evidence, Cixi likes Changzhi's food and local dramas.

Of course, the main body of food in Changzhi is the noodle that Shanxi people talk about, but when it comes to the variety and delicacy, it is one of the best in the whole Shanxi.
In addition to knife-cut noodles, Changji also has a variety of noodles such as handmade ramen, stove noodles, noodles, and dumplings.
Each county has its own authentic cuisine. Lucheng's donkey meat dumplings, Huguan mutton soup, and eldest son's fried cakes all make people appetizing.
Cixi's favorite food is actually the "pimple" that the people of Changzhi use soft persimmons with more juice in persimmons and cornmeal.

The picture in the middle shows how to make fried chi. The pictures are all from the Internet.
The persimmons are the harder ones, and the people will peel off the skin and dry it, then soak it in warm water, make it into a filling with red beans, and then wrap it in white flour or cornmeal and steam it, which is called "dumplings".
The meat of the persimmon itself is naturally sunburned and waited for the frost to fall, and then put on a white layer of silver, and the persimmon is made.
As for the type of drama, whether it is Shangdang Bangzi or Shangdang Luozi, or the more folk Lu'an Drum Book, the content is mainly martial arts.

Yang Jiajiang" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" are the most popular themes, when people watch the traitorous ministers on the stage, and the loyal ministers and good generals can uphold justice, their own emotions have also been released.
Maybe Cixi is tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and feels that Wowotou is fresh;Watching party dramas just likes to be lively.
After all, the old widow has no aesthetic to speak of.
Anti-Japanese beacon fire, Taihang nurse.
The reason for Changzhi to become the focus of attention again was the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the role of "the place where soldiers must fight" was once again highlighted.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River eastward and waged an arduous struggle behind enemy lines.
In Wuxiang County's Zhuangbi Village, Wangjiayu, and Lucheng's North Village, there are memorial sites of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

In every place, there are treasures of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng, which can be described as priceless treasures.
The Shentouling ambush and the Xiangtangpu ambush have made the invincible Japanese devils see the power of the Chinese people (whether it is the first soldiers on the frontal battlefield, or the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in the battlefield behind the enemy, they are all anti-Japanese martyrs, and it is not necessary to favor one over the other).
The Huangyadong Arsenal was once the largest ordnance base behind enemy lines in North ChinaThe Battle of Huangya Cave, which shocked China and foreign countries, created an unprecedented record in the history of Sino-Japanese warfare with the brilliant record of 6 1 between the enemy and us.

The "Shangdang Campaign" held after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War effectively cooperated with the negotiations in Chongqing and opened the prelude to the War of Liberation.
In the revolutionary years, a special group emerged here - "Taihang Milk Niang".
The older generation of revolutionary fathers often went from place to place, and were surrounded by enemies, and many of their children were placed in foster care with local people.
The mistresses of these ordinary people's homes treated the children of their revolutionary ancestors as their own and preserved the flame of revolution.

Today, the original children have become the pillars of all walks of life in the motherland, but they still have a special affection for the land where they were born and raised.
After the victory of the revolution, in all the affairs of the construction of the country, the Changzhi people still dared to be the first.
Li Shunda, a national model worker, worked hard with the idea that "there are always more ways than difficulties", and turned the bare mountains of Xigou Village into a lush forest.
Along with Li Shunda, there are Guo Yuen and Shen Jilan.

In particular, Grandma Shen led women to work in the fields and compete with male comrades for the fruits of their labor. It is precisely in this way that women have supported their backbones and created a women's style that belongs to the new Chinese characteristics.
There are too many stories in this piece of land, which stimulated Zhao Shuli's creative inspiration, and the feature-length ** "Three Mile Bay" came into being.
Forge ahead, a pastoral city.
Today's Changzhi, while developing rapidly, attaches great importance to the preservation of historical sites and is at the forefront of ecological protection.
Not only is the city of Changzhi clean and tidy, but the Shangdangmen and other historic sites are well preserved, making it an excellent place for sightseeing.

In the surrounding towns, the temples of myths and legends such as Nuwa, Shennong, and Houyi also attract people to stop and watch.
In more remote villages and towns, some temples and palaces dating back to the Sui and Tang dynasties and even the Northern and Southern Dynasties have also been well repaired, largely due to the consciousness of the local people, who simply believe that this is the legacy left by their ancestors, and it is their duty to protect it.

However, I would like to remind you that you must not be fooled by the words of the Changzhi people who say that they are not good at drinking, they don't even need to drink alcohol.
Drink with them and you'll know what the real "mass" is.
