Cangzhou: A Marginal Desolated Place, Creates a Unique Cultural Scenery
摘要
The term “seas turn into mulberry fields” couldn’t be more appropriate to describe Cangzhou. Located at the end of nine rivers, throughout history, words like “desolation,” “ruined city,” and “lonely city” often appear in numerous poems about Cangzhou. This city is destined to be desolate, sorrowful. The Grand Canal from Beijing to Hangzhou brings both disaster and prosperity to Cangzhou. Amid the disaster and prosperity, Cangzhou has cultivated and promoted a unique wealth - the spirit of martial arts. This wealth is unique to the people of Cangzhou.
