Ganpohua Zhang: Jiangxi Human Geography Guided Tour

When you open this book, a journey on paper to explore the soul of Jiangxi begins. In this fast-paced world, we read and walk to touch the character and elegance of this land. Jiangxi was called "Jiangyou" in ancient times. It is like a restrained and humble gentleman who does not show off, but has both the tranquility of the mountains and rivers and the victory of the humanities. It is a natural "landscape container": it has Wuyi in the east, Luoxiao in the west, Suo Dayu in the south, and the Yangtze River in the north. Five rivers rush into Poyang Lake, forming a unique pattern of "six mountains as a screen, five rivers flowing into the lake, and one river flowing into the sea", giving birth to the unique Ganpo civilization. This book will unlock three-dimensional Jiangxi for you from three dimensions. Entering the city, Nanchang is a heroic city and a thousand-year-old Yuzhang; Ganzhou is the red old capital and the Song Dynasty city in the south of the Yangtze River; Jingdezhen uses a handful of kaolin clay to create a porcelain charm that connects the world. Jiujiang, Shangrao, Fuzhou, Ji'an and other cities all have their own unique historical context. In the chapter about wandering around the mountains and rivers, the clouds and mist of Lushan Mountain bear the poetry of the ages, the Sanqing Mountain shows the spirit of immortality, the vast mist of Poyang Lake and the gathering of migratory birds, and the rushing Gan River tell the origin of the word "gan". In the chapter about walking in the countryside, the context of Liukeng is endless, Yaoli hides the secret of the origin of porcelain, Diaoyuan contains philosophy, Wuyuan is poetic and picturesque, and Hakka houses carry nostalgia. Every brick and tile here is a cultural texture. Landscapes are the bones, and humanity is the soul. The heaviness and agility of Jiangxi are hidden in the mountains and rivers, integrated in the markets, and spread among the people. I hope you can follow this book to understand the thousand-year-old song of Jiangxi and experience the eternal legend of "natural treasures, outstanding people and great people".
