A journey to the south of the five ridges in the summer

Recently, Foshan Gaoming Tongde Chemical Co., Ltd. organized all members of the company to explore Lingnan culture. The tour focuses on the four themes of "ancient town", "history", "art and culture" and "beautiful scenery". Although the journey is simple, it is deeply inspired. As a well-known localized enterprise rooted in the fertile land of Lingnan, it is nurtured by the landscape culture of Lingnan imperceptibly, but has a shallow understanding of the local culture of Lingnan. By this opportunity, we can trace back to the origin, pay a visit to the celebrities and scholars in Lingnan, appreciate the unique landscape of Lingnan, and restart our understanding of Lingnan culture. Shawan ancient town Shawan ancient town was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is a Lingnan cultural ancient town with a history of more than 800 years. It has rich historical and cultural resources and folk art is well known in the south. It has been awarded the honorary titles of China's folk art Town, China's historical and cultural town, China's orchid Town, etc., and is a national 4A level tourist attraction. In the development history of more than 800 years, Shawan ancient town has formed and preserved Lingnan culture with traditional historical culture and folk culture as the main body. It is an outstanding representative of Guangfu culture with Pearl River Delta as the core. It is rich in material cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage resources.

A large number of ancestral halls, temples and other ancient buildings, commercial sites and residential sites are well preserved, and folk arts and folk culture such as Guangdong music, floating colors, dragon and lion, orchid, diet and so on are flourishing. It is known as "the hometown of Chinese folk art", "the hometown of Guangdong music", "the hometown of floating colors", "the hometown of Chinese dragon and lion", "the hometown of Guangdong folk art", "the hometown of folk sculpture" and "the ancient village of Guangdong". Lianhua Mountain, located in Panyu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, is the commanding point on the West Bank of Shiziyang. Lianhua Mountain is composed of 48 red sandstone low mountains, belonging to Danxia landform. Lianhua Mountain has a profound historical and cultural accumulation, including the "provincial capital Huabiao" Lotus tower built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the lotus city built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and the newly built foil golden Avalokitesvara statue. It has a rare ancient quarry site with a history of more than 2000 years and the best preserved in China. Since the Western Han Dynasty, ancient people have been mining stone here. Therefore, in the eastern part of the mountain, stone forests and caves have been formed, leaving behind numerous magnificent red sandstone cliffs, dangerous peaks and stone pillars, forming the rare "artificial and unintentional" Lianhua Mountain stone scenic spot. The stone walls are steep, with many drill marks and gouges.

The main scenic spots are yanziyan, Guanyinyan, shizishi, lianhuata, lianhuacheng and Guanyin holy land. Among them, "Lianfeng sea view" was listed as the Eight Sights of Yangcheng in the new century by Guangzhou municipal government in 2002. The city of international cuisine is based on the catering concept of "integrating all kinds of cuisines into one family", gathering Star Chinese and Western chefs, and connecting with the world food fashion. French art directors use boat wood, blue brick, pearl lamp, cloth and other elements to create western style enthusiasm and Chinese style high elegance. Rooms and corridors are also covered with art paintings from all over the world. Highlight the fashion taste and lead the new food trend. Today, sihaiyi has become a national famous theme catering chain enterprise integrating art, fashion and culture. Conclusion: from tradition to modern, from simplicity to fashion, from old time-space prosperity to modern prosperity, the spirit of Lingnan is endless, with endless vitality from generation to generation. With the change of history, Lingnan civilization will remain brilliant. We are rooted in the fertile land of Lingnan and hope to internalize the excellent humanistic spirit of Lingnan, then sublimate our career and life, and finally help to realize the vision of Tongde - "to be the leader of coating resin".
