A long history and splendid culture have left many cultural landscapes for Shangqiu. The ancient city of Shangqiu, built in 15 1 1, has a unique style and is well preserved so far.

In the 7th-8th century BC, Guo Song (Shangqiu) of the Zhou Dynasty wrote Ode to Shang Dynasty, which was made into soup during sacrifice, and its mournful tune continues to this day. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and other countries, the Song Acura (that is, the rammed song) sung by the Song people when they built houses and rammed earth is still circulating in Shangqiu, with an ancient charm and lingering sound.
