However, there are also many unique folk cultures that have been accumulated since ancient times, including legends of celebrities such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, folk songs, folk stories, proverbs, pecan culture and various customs and habits that reflect local production and life. Many of them can be transformed into tourism projects for tourists to watch and participate in, but some of them have been postponed and gradually disappeared over time.
