Before I went to Wuhan, I had two impressions of Wu Hanyou. First, the weather is bad, it is extremely hot in summer and very cold in winter (and there is no heating). Second, there are Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan.
Because of Cui Hao's famous poem, I have been longing for the Yellow Crane Tower. In the past, the yellow crane carried saints to heaven, but now only the yellow crane tower is left. The yellow crane does not return to the world, and the white clouds will never fly. "Read infinitely far-reaching, infinitely quiet, as if time has slowed down. This kind of realm must be seen, so I went to Hubei with my mother last year, and the first stop was Wuhan.
Introduction and history Wuhan, also known as "Jiangcheng". Many cities have aliases. Wuhan is called "Jiangcheng", which is related to the great poet Li Bai. According to legend, Li Bai was playing in Wuhan at that time and drinking on the Yellow Crane Tower with Shi Langzhong, a veteran of Shangshu Province. When he was in a good mood, Li Bai became very interested in poetry, so he wrote "Drinking with Shi Langzhong and listening to the flute on the Yellow Crane Tower". "One is to move the guests to Changsha, hoping to see Chang 'an in the west. The Jade Emperor blows the Yellow Crane Tower, and plum blossoms fall into the river in May. This is the origin of Wuhan as a "Jiangcheng". Is it beautiful? Standing on the Yellow Crane Tower, overlooking, the river is surging, and it really lives up to the reputation of "Jiangcheng".
Yellow Crane Tower Wuhan is located in the east of Jianghan Plain and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, pass through the city center, dividing the central city of Wuhan into three parts, forming a pattern of Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang separated by a river. When you go to Wuhan for the first time, you should do a good job. The railway stations in Wuhan are located in three districts, which are prone to mistakes. In Wuhan, to and from Wuchang and Hankou, you can take the subway, cross the river under the river, or take a ferry to enjoy the river view. Both experiences are very interesting.
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province, the only sub-provincial city and megacity in six central provinces, an important industrial base, science and education base and comprehensive transportation hub in China. By the end of 20 16, there were 13 municipal districts and 3 state-level development zones in the city, with a total area of 8494.45438+0 square kilometers. The resident population of the city is 10766200, and the urbanization rate of the resident population is 79.77%.
The history of archaeological discoveries in Wuhan can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 6000 years ago. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wuhan was under the jurisdiction of Chu State, and its organizational system began in the Western Han Dynasty. In 223 AD, Sun Quan of Soochow built Xiakou City in Sheshan, Wuchang, and at the same time built a watchtower on the yellow chicken in the city, named Yellow Crane Tower.
In modern history, in the eighth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1858), the Tianjin Treaty, an unequal treaty signed by the Qing government and Britain, added 1 1 trading ports, including Hankou. In the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (191), 10, the Revolution of 1911 took place in Wuchang for the first time, announcing its separation from the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China and its military government, and Wuhan became the center of the revolution.
Climate and Scenery When you visit Wuhan, you will have an impression of Wu Hanyou. There is a lot of water. Rivers, lakes and wetlands account for nearly 1/4 of the city's total area, especially there are many lakes, ranking first in the country. The East Lake, which Wuhan people are proud of, is beautiful, and its area is much larger than that of the West Lake.
To travel to Wuhan, I think there are two places that must be visited. First, the Yellow Crane Tower, climbing high and looking far, feels the artistic conception that "the yellow crane will never return to the world, and the white clouds will never fly without him". The Yellow Crane Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period. It's just a "military building" in the corner of Xiakou City. Later, due to the war, the Yellow Crane Tower was repeatedly built and abandoned. The present Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt on the basis of Tongzhi Building in Qing Dynasty in 1980s. It has five floors and is very spectacular. However, the last time I went, it happened to be National Day. The Yellow Crane Tower is really a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder, and it is difficult to appreciate that long and profound artistic conception. But standing on the top floor overlooking the river view and the city is still beautiful.
The other place is Wuhan University. The beauty of Wuhan University is also well-known, and it is known as "one of the most beautiful universities in China". Wuhan University is very big, and the most famous scenery is Sakura Avenue. In March and April, in the beautiful campus, it is absolutely romantic to experience a sakura rain. But the season of cherry blossoms is very short and it is not easy to see.
Apart from Sakura Avenue, the most beautiful part of Wuhan University is the student dormitory. This dormitory used to be called Lao Zhai She, which is one of the oldest buildings in Wuhan University. The building of the old Zhai She is very heavy and steady, consisting of four dormitories, with multi-level stairs at the entrance, dark red window frames and blue roofs, which is very atmospheric and has a sense of the times (the slogan "Long live the great leader Chairman Mao" is faintly visible on the front of the building).
Baidu wondered, it turns out that the design of this old zhaishe still has deep cultural significance. Each dormitory is divided into front, middle and back rows by two large patios, and each row is divided into 1 to 4 floors according to the height of the mountain; Each floor is named after a thousand-character script, forming 16 dens of heaven, earth, xuan, huang, jade, zhou, hong, huang, sun, moon, ying, fang, chen, su, lie and zhang. The flat roof of the dormitory contains the ideal pursuit of "uneven is flat", that is, although all beings have different starting points, they will achieve the same achievements through hard work. Last time I visited Wuhan University, I took many photos here. When taking pictures, a girl came out of the dormitory door and thought at that time, it is so happy to live in such a beautiful and historic dormitory.

Economy, Employment and Housing Price
In 20 16, Wuhan ranked eighth in urban GDP,1175.6 billion yuan; In the salary ranking of 20 16, Wuhan ranks 17, with an average salary of 633 1 yuan/month. In the 20 16 China Urban Comprehensive Development Index, Wuhan ranks 10th. In this ranking, Xiao Li said in the last issue that Nanjing, an urban theme city, ranked ninth. Personally, I feel that Nanjing is similar to Wuhan. In terms of GDP alone, Wuhan is higher than Nanjing, but when it comes to per capita GDP, Nanjing is slightly higher. I personally feel the same way. It seems that the standard of living in Nanjing is still relatively high. Of course, as far as second-tier cities are concerned, Wuhan and South Kyoto are proper second-tier cities.
Look at the online comments on the urban economy, mostly negative (of course, only when you see the problem can you solve it better). Wuhan is one of the few cities that have been positively evaluated.
Wuhan's economy has also experienced ups and downs. From 65438 to 0959, Wuhan's total industrial output value was second only to Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin, ranking fourth in the country and being a national key industrial city. This situation has been maintained until the early days of reform and opening up. After the mid-1980s, the country vigorously promoted the strategy of coastal opening-up, and the pace of reform in Wuhan was slow, which was gradually surpassed by many cities in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Bohai Rim. After 1990s, some automobile industries in Wuhan have made great progress. Wuhan Optics Valley is a powerful production and R&D base of optoelectronic industry in China. Today, Wuhan has a complete industrial system such as steel, automobile, photoelectricity, chemical industry, metallurgy, textile, shipbuilding, manufacturing and medicine.
A few years ago, Wuhan began to de-capacity traditional advantageous industries and upgrade its manufacturing industry. Traditional industries actually need to "de-capacity". The slogan has been shouted for several years, but not many cities have done well. During the period of 20 13-20 15, the production capacity of Wuhan iron and steel industry decreased by 14%, and that of textile industry decreased by 42%. At the same time, the photoelectric and pharmaceutical industries have developed rapidly. On the one hand, the industrial structure has been adjusted and GDP has maintained its growth rate. On the other hand, a smooth transition in employment will not cause great turmoil.
Of course, the economic gap between domestic second-tier cities and Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen is still very large. Especially from first-tier cities to second-tier cities, we will find that there are still great differences in job opportunities and income between second-tier and first-tier cities. However, if China wants to develop, it is impossible to develop only first-tier cities. It is an inevitable way to promote regional development by developing potential second-tier cities.
2065438+March 2007 data, Wuhan house price ranking 16, average price 1542 1 yuan/flat. Compared with other cities with similar economic level, this price is low. The salary ranking 17 and the house price ranking 16 are still supporting.
Education and Scientific Research Wuhan is one of the four major science and education center cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Nanjing). If I hadn't written this article, I really didn't know that education and scientific research in Wuhan was so strong. By the end of 20 15, there were 82 colleges and universities in Wu Hanyou, the number of undergraduate and junior college students was second only to Beijing, ranking second in the country, and the total number of junior college students and graduate students was 1069500, ranking first in the country. Many famous universities in Wu Hanyou, such as Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Wuhan University of Technology, China Geo University, Huazhong Agricultural University, Huazhong Normal University, etc.
The cultural tradition has finally reached the part that interests me most. Say people first.
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei. Speaking of Hubei people, there is a proverb that everyone is familiar with. "Born with nine heads, the ground is Hubei." After reading the online posts about Hubei, it seems that this proverb is not a compliment to Hubei people.
In the spirit of getting to the bottom of the matter, I checked the origin of the nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird is a legendary ominous strange bird. It has ten necks and nine heads. It is said that its tenth head was shot off by a hunter ordered by Zhou Gongdan, and its neck without a head kept dripping blood. The ancients believed that if the nine-headed bird flew by, it should blow out the lamp and let the dog drive it away, otherwise the nine-headed bird would suck the child's soul.
From this point of view, the nine-headed bird seems unlucky. What is the origin of putting the nine-headed bird and Hubei people together? Let's talk about Zhang, a famous prime minister in Ming Dynasty. Born in Hubei, Zhang Wanli, assisted by Zhang, was the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the Ming Dynasty entered a period of weakness. The emperor neglected the administration, and Zhang, as prime minister, carried out a series of reforms and anti-corruption in order to save the decline. The corrupt elements hated Zhang's guts and privately called him "a bird with nine heads in the sky and a Hubei guy on the ground".
In fact, the earliest totem of Hubei people is "nine-headed bird". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu gradually rose. At that time, the state of Chu took the "Nine Phoenix Birds" as its totem. The bird with nine heads is from Shan Hai Jing. "In the wild, there is a mountain called Arctic Tian Huan, and the sea water lives in the north. There are nine gods, people and birds named Jiu Feng. " At that time, the Chu people had a beautiful yearning and hoped to be blessed by the divine bird. Just because of the demise of Chu, the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. This "nine-phoenix bird" was demoted as a "ghost car", that is, a "nine-headed bird". Later, China's totem became a dragon, and the phoenix was just possessed.
When traveling in Wuhan, I talked to a Didi driver about the development of Wuhan and the character of Wuhan people. Wuhan belonged to Chu State in the Three Kingdoms, so it was deeply influenced by Jingchu culture. According to the self-evaluation of Wuhan people, the advantages are positive and enterprising, and love to struggle; The disadvantage is that he has a bad temper.
In my understanding, this proverb should be understood as a compliment. The nine-headed bird is naturally very smart and is not easy to be killed. It means that Hubei people are smart, positive and unyielding.
Say Wuhan dialect again. Wuhan dialect is completely incomprehensible. Not only Wuhan dialect, but also Hubei dialect is a very magical dialect in my impression. How to describe it? It sounds like Mandarin, but I can't understand a word, and I speak it very fast and I can't hear it clearly. When you think of dialects in other places, you can probably think of a tone, but Hubei dialect is really unspeakable.
There are many snacks in Wu Hanyou, including Regan Noodles, duck neck and street snacks. But Regan Noodles is too dry for me and the duck neck is too spicy. I always think Sichuan is very spicy. Last year, I went to Wuhan. On the first night, I went to eat duck neck with my mother and told my boss whether it was spicy or not. The boss baked it and handed it to me. I asked, isn't it spicy? He said it wasn't spicy at all, and then looked at me (I guess I'm from other places, considering my low ability to accept spicy degree) and added, it's slightly spicy. As a result, I tasted it, which is definitely the hottest I have ever eaten! The hottest, no one. It can be seen that Hubei people eat spicy food But I think hubei cuisine is delicious. All the dishes are delicious except spicy ones.
When Wuhan Snacks was studying in Normal University, there was a Hubei restaurant near the school, which seemed to be called the Nine-headed Bird. I ate it several times while eating, and I was very impressed. It's almost drooling to think of it.
Last year, I ate a kind of cake in an ordinary breakfast shop on the street in Wuhan. It was very thin and crisp, and there was a little food in it. It tasted crisp, and I forgot its name. It smells good and unforgettable.
Even the free side dishes in the breakfast shop are so delicious that you can't stop.
Casually in the old breakfast shop on the street, you can eat unforgettable delicious food for a long time, so excited. Wuhan people's happiness index, although the weather score is low, but diet can definitely be added back.
