It is an important birthplace of the ancient Gaoliang culture, the seat of the Yangjiang County government, and has inherited two thousand years of cultural achievements. It is the seat of the Yangjiang municipal government, gathering the cultural elites of the entire city. It is also a city where modern civilization blooms. It has made significant contributions to Yangjiang in winning the titles of "China's Excellent Tourist City" and "Guangdong's Civilized City." It can be said without exaggeration that Jiangcheng is a cultural hub in Western Guangdong and a cultural hub in Lingnan. It is renowned both domestically and internationally as a cultural homeland, a city of cuisine, and a kingdom of knives and scissors.
Jiangcheng is a cultural homeland. Under the influence of its rich history and culture, the people of Jiangcheng have long loved calligraphy, painting, lacquer art, and odd stones and root carvings. They also enjoy dragon boat races, fish song duets, and kite flying during the Double Ninth Festival, creating the "Hometown of South China Kites" and the "Hometown of Calligraphy and Painting," and making significant contributions to Yangjiang becoming the only city in China to simultaneously win the titles of "City of Chinese Poetry" and "City of Chinese Couplets Culture."
Jiangcheng is a city of cuisine. Nestled between mountains and the sea, it enjoys the freshness of rivers and seas as well as the delicacies of the wilderness, giving rise to the uniquely distinctive Yangjiang cuisine with the characteristics of "one freshness, two specialties, three novelties, and four classics."
Jiangcheng is the kingdom of knives and scissors. The small knife is one of Yangjiang's "three treasures," and the people of Jiangcheng subtly infuse culture into the knife and scissors industry, enriching the cultural heritage of knives and scissors. During the "Cultural Jiangcheng" art festival, the District Committee and District Government of Jiangcheng launched the "Charming Jiangcheng" Cultural Series, including three books: "Cultural Homeland," "City of Cuisine," and "Kingdom of Knives and Scissors." This series further explores Jiangcheng's historical and cultural resources, showcasing the essence of Jiangcheng's culture and local attractions, and introducing local customs and traditions. The publication of this series will help to excavate, summarize, and promote Jiangcheng's traditional culture, enhance the cultural quality of Jiangcheng, and contribute to the development of Yangjiang as a cultural city.
