When people in Jiahe treat strangers and don't know their names, they usually match them with place names. The man's name is xx Gui, and the woman's name is xx Po Gui, which means buffalo Gui, meaning bull. When I first arrived in Jiahe, I was really not used to it. I thought it was a discriminatory title for strangers from the countryside.

when I was 22 years old, I went to Jiahetang Village to do clothing wholesale business. At that time, I failed in the college entrance examination for many times. It was really a season when people were short of ambition and horses were thin and hairy, and I was still very depressed with acne. When I was in my hometown, my parents repeatedly asked my relatives to help me find someone. Many girls were worried that I couldn't do farm work, so they resolutely refused before talking about it. But Jiahe people have different eyes on people from my hometown. I like to chat and tell stories, and I like to help others. The neighbors next door don't call me "Blue Mountain Man", but generally call me "Xiao Li". Other country people who do business with me are not so lucky. They are called "Yong Xing Gui", "Gui Yang Gui" and ...

One of the things I do most is to help you write "seasonal clearance", "year-end sale", "facade expires, clearance sale" and so on. My handwriting is not good, but I have the courage to take a pen and serve my neighbors. I am very busy. At that time, the clothing wholesale market was very popular. Many people in the Beihu market went to Tangcun to buy goods. I was popular, enthusiastic and had a good business, so many people began to look for girlfriends for me. At that time, the objects introduced were bank employees, doctors, teachers and recent college graduates, which were eclectic and charming. Mom said, if you choose seven or eight, if you are blind and have a favorite, it's settled; Dad doesn't agree. He thinks that when the limelight is in full swing, it's too late to be picky. Now think about it, what Dad said is more reasonable.

Jiahe is a famous hometown of food. There are many folk cuisines, such as furong rice tofu, Jiahe Jiao Zongzi, Jiahe Camellia, Jiahe Shake Ciba, Hechang noodles, and Jiahe boiled pork slices powder ... People live in Jiahe, and if you don't taste these cuisines, you can't count as Jiahe. The most famous is, of course, "Lotus Rice Tofu". In those days, Liu Xiaoqing went to Tangcun to study and watch the live sale for filming "furong town". Unfortunately, you can only do it now and sell it now. If you want to eat authentic "hibiscus rice tofu", you must go to the countryside around Jiahetang Village. Fortunately, people of insight in Jiahe have taken action and started to register trademarks and set standards to bind these foods to Jiahe in the form of culture. In 218, entrepreneur Huang Naixiong took "Jiahe Jiaozong" and "Jiahe Camellia oleifera" to participate in the "Agricultural Fair of Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Guizhou Provinces" in Chenzhou City, and achieved good results, which was envied by peers in neighboring counties and districts.

Jiahe people are born heroic and love to drink, and they are known as "drinking early wine in the morning makes them feel refreshed all day;" Drinking soju at noon is not hard work; Pour wine at night, I own the world. " Not only friends get together to drink, but also business talks, and the prospective son-in-law should drink more when he comes to the door, and it is best to get drunk. I can't drink well. The first time I went to my girlfriend's house, my girlfriend's father advised me to drink several times, but I declined. The second time I went, my girlfriend's uncle and uncle came. I know I can't escape, so I'll have a drink. First respect the whole table, then communicate separately, propose a toast with two cups, and return with two cups. After one round, the fifth master doesn't know the sixth master, and then he raises his glasses frequently. My uncle doesn't shout, and my uncle doesn't shout, so they are all called brothers and big brothers. My girlfriend stood behind me, distressed, and afraid that I would make a slip of the tongue after drinking. She helped me out several times and was stopped by my elders, so I had to worry. As the saying goes, if you speak the truth after drinking, do you really mean it? Is your personality good? How about moral character? Everyone wants to touch my bottom through this wine game. Many years later, my girlfriend was not with me, but my uncle and I were still good friends. Jiahe people believe that people with good wine will not be too bad in character.

Jiahe people are stubborn and flexible. For example, the girl in Jiahe looks weak, but her heart is strong. When a couple quarrels, if the man moves his hand, the woman will generally not let it go. In the early years in Tangcun, I often met a woman who called her family to teach her husband a lesson. Her family accidentally taught her a lesson too much, and she was extremely distressed by her husband. I know a couple who often fight. Every time, the man suffers. Everyone says that because the woman's family is the surname of the surrounding village, the man is afraid to start a fight. After the quarrel, the woman went to her parents' house, and a few days later, the man asked someone to invite her back. Finally, once, the man's anger stopped asking people to invite him. As a result, in a few days, the family took the initiative to send the woman back, and said that if they fight again in the future, they will not be allowed to go back to their families. Therefore, Jiahe people are flexible and do not always protect calves without principles. The girl I know in Jiahe can drink, be spoiled, not afraid of fighting, drive a motorcycle very fast, be a good hand in business, and be able to carry a sledgehammer while the iron is hot. Facts have proved that most of these girls are Wangfu, but ordinary boys dare not marry, for fear of being shocked. I have heard of a TV series "My Savage Girlfriend", which is probably about this kind of girl.

Jiahe people are United and tolerant, and have a strong sense of kinship. For example, in Tangcun, there are mainly Zhou Liu Huang Si Wu's surname, and between them, we can say anything and solve any problems. In Tangcun, if you have nothing to do, don't make trouble. If you accidentally get into trouble, you'd better find someone with prestige in the nearby family to mediate, so as to roll with the punches and minimize the problems. Maybe you can make friends. I once had a conflict with the local people. The other side was aggressive, threatening and intimidating, which made me helpless. Because I didn't do it, it was useless to call the police, and I felt mentally stressed. Later, I found a friend. He is the most popular name in the local area, and he is more prestigious. His friend came forward, and he was polite before the soldiers. In a few words, he solved it satisfactorily, and the other party did not feel how much face he lost. This is indeed more effective than calling the police. Of course, the public security environment is excellent now, and the elimination of evils has gone deep into the grassroots. It is the best choice to find the police if you are in trouble.

Jiahe people are extroverted, sociable, fond of learning, not afraid of hardship, and suitable for going out to start a business. There is a popular saying in Jiahe that men must go outside to be more successful. Jiahe is the casting capital of the south of the Yangtze River recognized by China Foundry Association, and also the national forging hometown. Large-scale equipment, small lathes, stoves, cauldrons, aluminum pots, wrenches, kitchen knives, etc. can all be made. Jiahe handmade kitchen knife is a national intangible cultural heritage. These enterprises have absorbed many migrant workers. It has become a common practice in Jiahe that successful entrepreneurs abroad return to their hometowns and serve their hometowns. Many enterprises in Tantang Industrial Park were founded by successful entrepreneurs who came back to their hometowns. At present, there are more than 1, entrepreneurs in Jiahe, who bring back the advanced ideas and technologies they have learned abroad and become a capable force in building Jiahe.

Jiahe is optimistic in life. Whether he is happy or unhappy, he likes to express his feelings by singing. Jiahe wedding song is one of the "intangible cultural heritages" in Hunan Province. As a long-term resident of Jiahe, I can also hum a few wedding songs, which makes me not lonely and boring when I get together with my friends. Nowadays, people of insight in the business circles have also joined the ranks of collecting and sorting out Jiahe traditional culture. In 1958, the Tieyi Cultural Creative Industry Park was initiated by private entrepreneurs, aiming to build a popular science base for casting and forging culture and other traditional arts. It is said that it will be completed in early 22. By then, it will become a concentrated place for the declaration and development of Jiahe's "intangible cultural heritage".

the development of the world is vast, and those who follow it will prosper. Many times, people are caught in the tide of development, and if they make a little progress, they will be complacent, but once they are not driven by the outside world, they will fall into inexplicable self-pity and cannot extricate themselves. When you are in Jiahe, you will find that the development of Jiahe is not passive or trapped, but you can still face difficulties in adversity and be proud of others in confusion. This is actually determined by the character of Jiahe people: car-scrapping, heroic, United, optimistic, fearing tradition, not afraid of hardship, conforming to the trend, being brave in innovation, ...

This is my most intuitive understanding of Jiahe.
