Abstract:

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, Taizhou was wellknown for its "immortal cradle and Buddha residence". The mainstream of its regional culture was Taoism and Buddhism. Thus Taizhou' s landscape became topics for writers' poetry creation in the Tang and Song dynasties. Very often, they made an "imagination of the heavens", depicting socalled great supermen, mysterious historicsites, colorful scenes, magnificent temples and queer mountains. In the middle and later periods of the Northern Song Dynasty, Confucianism (mainly Hu Yuan' s Theory of the Spring and Autumn) began to spread in Taizhou. And after "fleeing to the South", a large quantity of the officers from the North tramped the streets in Taizhou, where they opened schools, built ancestral temples, sorted out country literature, and exchanged learning with local scholars, bringing Confucianism (mainly Zhu Xi' s NeoConfucianism) to Taizhou. As a result, the regional culture in Taizhou changed from the "kingdom of immortals and Buddha" to the "coastal region of cultural prosperity".

Key words: The ReEstablishment , the Regional Culture Tradition , Taizhou , the Southern Song Dynasty
