What is Shanghai style?
All rivers run into the sea, and the Shanghai style culture is inclusive, which is reflected in all aspects of Shanghai culture. Shanghai's architectural culture has created a "World Architecture Expo" with the coexistence of Chinese and western cultures, the combination of Chinese and foreign cultures, the blending of arts and the unique style. Shanghai's stage culture, it is in the process of "embracing all rivers" that the local "Shenqu" (Shanghai Opera) and local operas such as Beijing Opera, Yue Opera and Huai Opera, as well as dramas, ballets and other exotic flowers compete for beauty. Shanghai's music culture, from the strong local flavor of "Purple Bamboo Tune" and "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms", brought jubilant "Guangdong Music", loud and exciting "Celebrating gongs and drums" and "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon", as well as symphonies, brass music and orchestral music from Europe and America. Shanghai's painting and calligraphy culture not only inherits and broadens the traditional China painting and calligraphy, but also appears the "sea painting school" called "Shanghai School", and makes the sculpture art originated in ancient Greece and the oil painting art from Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, leave a "mysterious smile" here. Shanghai's food culture is "all rivers run into the sea, all inclusive". It is not only a collection of halls and buildings that display the distinctive cuisines, traditional famous spots and tea and wine culture in Sichuan, Guangdong, Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huaiyang, but also a collection of western restaurants and cafes that exude European and American sentiments and national flavors. Shanghai's folk culture not only preserves and innovates traditional festivals, good luck and bad manners and customs, folk arts and skills, martial arts fitness, ancient collection and other cultures that show Chinese characteristics, but also absorbs and develops exotic customs such as communication etiquette, song and dance entertainment, sports competition, clothing and food, weddings and funerals that come with European style ... Shanghai-style culture is gradually formed in a unique atmosphere, a kind of In these two kinds of atmosphere, the Shanghai style culture is incomparably inclusive. It is practical and utilitarian, and it is not afraid of "westernization", which makes it possible to see the mixture and compatibility between Chinese and Western, old and new, up and down, elegant and popular only in Shanghai. In the formation of Shanghai-style culture, there are two places with special significance. One is the Bund, which is known as the "ten-mile foreign market"; First, Hongkou, where many heavyweight literati had a profound influence on modern culture, lived and worked, such as Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Guo Moruo and Feng Xuefeng. A large number of iconic modern China literature was born here. If the Bund represents the commercial culture of Shanghai culture, Hongkou is brewing the life and thoughts of Shanghai culture. There are many Shanghai-style cultures, but Shanghai-style architecture is the most popular and close to the people in all cultures. Looking at the "World Architecture Expo Group" in Shili Ocean Field, we can vaguely see the business climate of the past; The famous old residence on Duolun Road witnessed the cultural immersion in the 192s and 193s. The Shikumen style hidden by the autumn phoenix tree on Shanyin Road reflects the new-style alley and cultural villa that combines Chinese and western, which is particularly vicissitudes; The old villa group on Liyang Road vaguely reflects the scene of the old celebrities coming and going, which has the serenity of hengshan road, but less the hustle and bustle. The advantaged location of the Yangtze River Delta, the exchange of needed goods among elites, the economic center of developed business and the historical origin of early opening of ports have all become the symbolic characteristic culture that Shanghai has been able to absorb, accommodate all cultures at home and abroad, and integrate and transform into the city's character. Shanghai's "Shanghai-style culture" not only enables it to make a "first" response to the fashion culture of all countries in the world, but also can quickly discover the frontiers of world academic culture and creative culture. At the same time, take advantage of the situation, further broaden our horizons, focus on the forefront of the world's advanced culture, boldly absorb foreign excellent culture, and form a cultural pattern that is compatible with various excellent cultures and academic factions. I believe that Shanghai's blurred customs and rich architectural skyline are the most exquisite existence of Shanghai culture. Shanghai-style culture originated from Chinese painting and Peking Opera. As an art school, it spread to movies, novels, art education and many aspects of social life, forming the core basic concept of Shanghai-style culture. Shanghai-style culture, rooted in Chinese traditional culture, integrates the regional cultural essence of wuyue (Jiangsu and Zhejiang) culture, absorbs and digests some western cultural factors, and creates a new Shanghai-style culture with its own unique personality. Its characteristics are: absorbing all rivers and being adept at change. Shanghai culture has always had a so-called bourgeois pastime for a period of time. After the reform and opening up, many petty bourgeoisie sentiments actually derived from it. Undeniably, with the recovery of business, the Shanghai-style culture with entertainment as its core essence has regained a high level (entertainment here has neither the derogatory meaning of "Beijing-style official remuneration" nor the derogatory meaning of "Shanghai-style business remuneration"). It is just a neutral word relative to literary lovers, and everyone can give many different solutions because of their different angles and positions. At the end of 199s and the beginning of 2, I was engaged in the real estate planning industry. The term "mansion" was overused, and the language was just the coat of the times. If I get to the root of myself, I would trace back to its cultural roots of Shanghai style. This kind of entanglement is really a kind of cultural latent. The appearance is coffee, musical notes, red wine, art and the adjective images of elegance, leisure, classics and nostalgia. Personally, I think that the origin and development of Shanghai culture: after the opening of five ports in 1843, Shanghai gradually formed a unique cultural school under the impact of western culture and the local culture of old Shanghai, in order to compete with "Beijing School", "Hangzhou School" and "Hong Kong School" This self-identity of urban spirit is established in the process of globalization, and it is this self-identity that has made a unique Shanghai culture. After 1843, it began to form; In 193s, with the establishment of the status of "Paris of the East", Shanghai became the most fashionable and charming metropolis in China, and the Shanghai culture reached a peak. From liberation to 198s, Shanghai dominated China as an industrial center and an economic center. After the 199s, Shanghai revived, and the Shanghai culture, as the spirit of the city, once again showed dazzling brilliance. Classic elements of Shanghai style culture: Shanghai style architecture: Shikumen architecture with Chinese and western fusion, old-fashioned and new-style alley, garden house with western villa and oriental garden fusion, Bund World Expo, etc. Shanghai style art: Zhang Ailing's novels, Shanghai style calligraphy (represented by Master Chang Shuo), jazz (jamie king, the first jazz band in China) and Shanghai style oil painting (the birthplace of China oil painting). Shanghai-style clothing: cheongsam, the perfect combination of Chinese and western clothing. Shanghai life: ballroom dancing in Paramount Stage Hall, living in Garden House and Gukumen, listening to Zhou Xuan's songs from the phonograph, going to the latest Hollywood movies in Daguangming Cinema, and drinking Coca-Cola and French brandy. Shanghai-style business: Nanjing Road, the first commercial street in China, formerly known as "Shili Yangchang", a commercial pilgrimage site in China, and a high-end brand store on Huaihai Road. Shanghai Park: Jing 'an Park's combination of southern rivers and western-style gardens, Fuxing Park's combination of French customs and entertainment culture, and the modern city image of Century Park. The core value of Shanghai-style culture is all inclusive: the superior geographical position facing the sea and the river determines Shanghai's broad mind, while the foreign powers' dominant period objectively strengthened this openness and implanted it into the urban nerve as a tradition. Therefore, Shanghai is more receptive to foreign cultures than any other city in China, regardless of province or country. Shanghai Opera, Yue Opera, Kunqu Opera, Peking Opera, Drama, Opera, Musical, Sitcom, Huangmei Opera, Jazz, Latin Dance and HIG-HOP have their own markets. At the same time, Shanghai is a standard immigrant city, with Ningbo people, Cantonese people, Jiangsu people, Jiangxi people, Shandong people, Anhui people, etc., and English people, Japanese people, French people, Americans, Belarusian people and Jews, all with different skin colors. This used to be the case, and now it is even more so. 4 million foreigners from other places live here. Diversification-it is the biggest feature of Shanghai style. Internationalization, fashion and foreign flavor: At present, there are two most international cities in China, one is Beijing, and the other is Shanghai. The greater factor of Beijing's internationalization comes from the political significance of the capital, because Beijing is also the city with the most traditional Chinese color. Shanghai is naturally an international city, not only now, but also 1 years ago. Therefore, international thinking, vision and habits have penetrated into the urban body. Therefore, Shanghai culture has always been the farthest from China tradition. In a sense, Shanghai is closer to foreign countries than to China. Don't make a fuss when you see the old man eating ice cream on the road in Shanghai, because he has eaten so much since he was a child, and the taste of the old Kellers is admirable. If Beijing is an oriental royal family, then Shanghai is more like a western aristocrat. In the 193s, the latest Hollywood movies appeared in Shanghai cinemas in just one week, and I had to come here for a sneak peek. This ability to keep pace with international fashion has always been the case. Girls in Shanghai wear the same clothes in a foreign style, but people in other cities don't smell like that, which is the result of long-term environmental influence. Shanghai, the oriental Paris, has always been the fashion capital of China. Change and innovation, dare to be the first: Since the formation of Shanghai culture, it can be said that Shanghai has always maintained its position as the economic, financial and trade center of China. This is because Shanghai culture has the function of self-adjustment and can always keep pace with the most advanced culture of the times by constantly absorbing nutrients from the outside and constantly merging, changing and innovating according to its own needs. For example, Wantan was a rare excellent building group in the world at that time, and now Xiao Lujiazui is also one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Jazz, ballroom dancing, skyscrapers, magnetic levitation, too many innovations make other cities in China only envious. Therefore, whether in 193s or now, Shanghai is the most dynamic and international metropolis in China. Exquisite and aesthetic, attention to detail: Some people say that Shanghainese are "smart and not smart", although it is not completely correct, it also shows Shanghainese's persistence in "precision": careful calculation, smart and capable, and striving for perfection. Long-term commercialization, sustained economic prosperity, and standardized social order make the city like a precise clock. Shanghai culture pays great attention to details. The architectural ornaments of Shikumen, clean and flat hemlines, a section of fenced walls, untidy hairstyles, Shanghai brand watches, etc. all reflect the Shanghai people's attitude of striving for perfection. To pursue perfection in everything within the scope of financial resources. Shanghai is a city rich in white-collar workers and petty bourgeoisie, and their outlook on life is also the character of this city.
