The ancient customs of Boshan shine again in Yanshen Ancient Commune!
The ancient Yanshen commune is located in the Shantou district of Boshan district and is characterized by the existence of old kilns. Since the Northern Song dynasty, this town has prospered thanks to the ceramic industry and has brought together many artisans. The blazing fire of the ovens mixes with the lively atmosphere of the streets, showing infinite charm.
Culture is the soul of a city. In the “living” protection of Yanshen Ancient Township, Boshan District adheres to the principle of “double creation of culture”, while attaching great importance to “exploitation in protection” and “development in culture”. ‘innovation”. By attracting investment from Xiamen Langxiang Group for comprehensive protective development of the township, relevant authorities focus on accumulating and reviving its culture, and stimulating and releasing its dynamism. The objective is to promote the overall protection of the municipality, to initiate the renovation and upgrading of the municipality, to proceed with the “fluid” exploitation of the municipality, and thus to create a new cultural landmark where the ancient heritages and modern business modes come together, and where historical evolution and cultural creativity complement each other.
After several years of strenuous efforts, this ancient commune, which has a thousand-year-old history, was recognized by the public with a completely different appearance.
In September 2022, Yanshen Ancient Commune officially opened to the public. From old factories and tunnels transformed into modern industrial museums, old ovens into stylish bars, and traditional houses into quality B&Bs, they ensure that history and reality meet here in complete harmony, with a perfect blend of the old and the new, and the virtual and the real. By integrating the core of its industrial heritage into its cultural, functional and demonstrative systems, the ancient Yanshen commune has successfully achieved a “reciprocal symbiosis” between industrial heritage and urban development.
Many visitors walking on the time-smoothed cobblestones of ancient Yanshen Commune feel like they are entering a time tunnel: The traditional steamed bread ovens, speckled brick walls and dilapidated old factories. As a place of transmission of ceramic and glass culture, Yanshen Ancient Town best represents Bo Shan ceramic culture, with its numerous ceramic relics that have lived through thousands of years of glory.
“During the 2023 Chinese New Year, Boshan District saw a large wave of returning migrant workers, supplemented by a large influx of tourists from other areas. Yanshen Ancient Commune is particularly popular!” said Lai Yonghu, general manager of Zibo Langxiang Culture Development Co.,Ltd. Activities such as “tasting specialties”, “admiring rituals”, and “appreciating good cuisine”, and exciting folkloric performances, such as “the incarnation of the God of wealth”, “ game of catching butterflies” and “journey on the donkey”, attracted a very large number of tourists. In 2023, Boshan District has planned nine major events in Yanshen Ancient Township, including educational trips for young people, “distance shopping tours”, and marriage meetings etc. These events will take place throughout the year, aiming to make the town a nationally known and popular tourist site which will be a huge success on the Internet, and to make the “flame” of cultural transmission of this thousand-year-old town livelier. .
