Yangzhou ,located on the cross of the Grand Canal trending from north to south and the Yangtze River trending from west to east, has been the famous city in Jianghuai area since from the ancient time. The reason why Yangzhou has such great fame lies in its rich cultural formation and brisk cultural creation as well as its plentiful cultural successes and profound cultural effect. Yangzhou traditional culture appears wide and conversant, compatible with north and south, and suitable for both refined and popular tastes. It's not exaggerated to say that Yangzhou culture is one of the typical representatives as Chinese culture. "Troublesome Piwu" is one of the traditional books from Yangzhou Pinghua. By the description of life of hero Piwu in "marriage", "flourishing poverty", "spending the Spring Festival", "making a fortune" and "becoming a fugitive", personalities of various trades and industries were dragged out, which modeled the masses at that time. So "Troublesome Piwu" is the portrayal of Yangzhou customs and reflects Yangzhou traditional culture perfectly."Troublesome Piwu" is from Yangzhou Pinghua, which are one of the important representatives of Yangzhou traditional culture.Meanwhile, "troublesome Piwu" is also the portrayal of Yangzhou customs. Thus, the both aspects are connected closely. With the Pinghua as an entry point, describing and analyzing Yangzhou traditional culture is the purpose of writing the article, which presents the author's creation. Concretely speaking, the article has described and analyzed Yangzhou traditional culture from the following four aspects: material culture, spiritual culture, celebrating culture and language culture.1.Material culture is closely bound up with people's daily life, so food, clothing, shelter and transportation---basic necessities of life are the content of material culture.2.Spiritual culture includes people's art cultural entertainments, such as Pinghua, operas, drinker's wager game, shuogezi, tourci etc. It also includes Yangzhounese love, taboo, worship, religion and moral concepts.3.Folklore culture in this article expounds wedding ceremony and spending the Spring Festival, which is attached much importance to by the Yangzhounese and reflects the local character. And this is the important part in "Troublesome Piwu".4.Language culture describes antithetical couplet, code word and folk adage.
